Although the Tesla Rifle can be converted into an automatic weapon, most of its advanced barrel mods allow for charged shots of one kind or another. Your choice of barrels determines the nature of your Tesla Rifle, but any non-automatic configuration allows this weapon to benefit from the Rifleman perk.
Standard Model: Tesla Rifle
The Tesla Rifle fires a beam of electricity capable of arcing between closely grouped targets. This energy rifle may not be as versatile as common laser guns, but it does support an optional reflex sight and a selection of powerful barrel mods. The Tesla Rifle is carried by Ivey in the Dust Raiders stronghold beneath the Fort Hagen Satellite Array.
