Fallout 76 lures with the craziest items you can find and use. We present to you a particularly quirky item: The Alien Blaster.
What is the Alien Blaster? The Alien Blaster is an exotic and unique weapon in Fallout 76 that you cannot craft, only find. The blaster resembles a toy and is hidden. You must find both the blaster and the unique ammunition separately.
How to Get the Alien Blaster in Fallout 76
Where do I find the Blaster? The weapon itself is not particularly hidden. It is located in a blown-up safe in a polluted pond, west of the Philippi Soldiers Cemetery, right in the center of Toxic Valley.
The safe is not heavily guarded, only a few unpredictable RAD deers might attack you there. Just take a step into the water and grab the blaster and, very importantly, the rusty key that can also be found in the open safe.
If you have trouble getting through the water, you will find a bathtub right next to the pond in the remnants of a house. In it lies a hazard suit, some RadAway, and a toy alien. A nice hint.
How to find the ammunition: With the key, you need to head to the Mount Blair Train Yard. There, you go up some stairs and ramps to the roof of the building, where you will find a locked door.
This door requires level 2 in lockpicking. Open it and turn right. Against the wall, there are some lockers, one of which you can open with the key. Inside, you will find the “TNT Dome Key 02”.
With the new key, go to the Black Mountain Ordnance Works, a bit west of Vault 76. Around the pile, there are numerous hills that look like beehives. You will find doors with signs indicating their number.
Search until you find Dome 02. You cannot enter any of the others anyway. In Dome 02, you will find a small lab with a capsule, a corpse, and some equipment:
- Chems
- Hazmat suits
- a jamming device
- a letter
- ammunition and a blueprint for a mod of the Alien Blaster
In the letter, there is something about the ammunition and how dangerous it is. The ammunition is located on the table and in the box under the table, totaling 45 rounds. This is the only “AB ammunition” that exists. However, with the mod, you can modify the Alien Blaster to run on E-cells.
By the way, you can also find the alleged former owner of the blaster in Fallout 76. The poor guy is lifeless on a garbage truck in the middle of nowhere. That would almost be a candidate for our 5 scariest places in Fallout 76.
How good is the Blaster? The blaster itself is a level 20 weapon with energy damage, somewhat high range, and good fire rate. However, the damage is rather low. A level 30 Deathclaw cannot be killed with the 45 rounds of AB ammunition. But the weapon looks really cool.
