The following is based on Fallout: New Vegas Test Cell Content The Faderator is a debug weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas expansions Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners' Arsenal.
Gameplay[edit]
The Faderator is a unique variant of the Gauss Rifle, which in appearance is identical to the standard weapon. It has a lower ammunition usage per shot, larger ammunition capacity, automatic operation, very high hit chance in V.A.T.S., tons of knockback, and a dramatically increased rate of fire, bringing the weapon's calculated damage-per-second to 20,160.
It shoots a spread of three shots with one trigger pull, similar to a shotgun. In V.A.T.S. it fires 12 shots, with three rounds per shot, bringing the total number of rounds fired to 36.
Durability[edit]
The Faderator can fire a total of about 3995 shots using standard cells from full condition before breaking.
Locations[edit]
The Faderator is only available via console commands. It can be spawned in and also found in the Mentats Test Level, accessible with the command coc testmentats.
Notes[edit]
- Every major add-on has its own version of The Faderator. All versions are identical in stats, names and IDs, though each one is considered a separate weapon.
- The Faderator has unlimited ammunition and will accept different types of ammo, but the ammunition count will not go down.
- Due to the massive rate of ammunition regeneration from the Microfusion Breeder effect, the gun can be fired continuously without its ammunition reaching 0.
- If one has the Fast Shot trait, firing this weapon fully automatic may cause the game to run slowly until one stops firing it.
- When fired, there is a chance of obtaining Drained Microfusion Cells. When combined with the Vigilant Recycler perk, firing the weapon excessively, then recycling the Drained Microfusion Cells gained can supply the Courier with unlimited ammunition.
Behind the Scenes[edit]
- The weapon was created by Jason Fader, who forgot to remove it and the Mentats Test Level from the game.[Ext 1]
