Some wastelanders may not be as crafty as the Redditor, but that doesn’t stop fans from bagging their own replicas, including one luckyFalloutplayer who spotted several weapon recreations in their local shop. Redditors were raving about the Plasma Rifle replica, but some users requested additional details be added. Instead of keeping the plastic finish, fans wanted to see the replica become more rusted and weathered in the paintwork, and the original poster noted that that next step would be fulfilled in due course.
The Plasma Rifles, Casters, and Guns ofFallouthave graced every iteration of the franchise, includingFallout 76’s Enclave Plasma Rifle, the Plasma Thrower and Mean Green Monster fromFallout Shelter, and the Plasma Gun even appeared inFallout: The Board Game. The high-tech weapons are usually powered by microfusion or heavy energy cells, plasma cartridges, or plasma cores and rattle out plasma bolts. Still, the modern-day designs, fromFallout 4for example, differ wildly from the blueprint found in earlier titles, such as the Winchester P94 plasma caster.
