Prototype LPP Carbine - Possible Bug?

[altasilvapuer]

So as a caveat, I haven't gotten to these in actual gameplay. I was working on my load order today, though, and I noticed there's a discrepancy between the ammo used by the Prototype LPP Carbine and the Ammo Leveled List that gets attached to it.

FormID xx01D5F5: SS2_WC_GremlinLPP
Looking at it in xEdit, the ammo type in the Data section is 000C1897, Fusion Cell.
The LNAM - NPC Add Ammo List is 001BA310, LL_Ammo_PlasmaGun

I'm going to hazard a guess based on LPP that this is intended to be a plasma weapon? The mods attached are all Laser, though, so I can't be sure.

Bug? Or am I missing something?

It visually looks much like a standard Laser Rifle too, but fires a "plasma" projectile (at far greater speeds) too, although the damage per shot isnt AS good as a standard Plasma Rifle, so... I guess the story explanation that it was a prototype "more efficient plasma weapon" still fits?

Ehh, it's not a weapon the player can acquire for themselves anyway. Not sure if Gremlin uses it, she has an energy weapon but that's about the limit of my perception lol.

It actually is! When you go acquire it it's an actual firing weapon, it's just that the next objective is to bring it straight back to her.

o woops, my bad. Guess I never noticed.

Okay, good to know. I'll take a second look for my own personal patches, but it looks like it may be a non-issue, then.

Just remembered this thread while doing this quest again last night, and remembered to take video.

I pick up the LPP at around 1:50, and decided to give it a few test-fires while recording. As you can see, it looks (mostly) like a laser pistol, but shoots plasma bolts with a FAR higher velocity than vanilla plasma guns, and does still use the standard Energy Cell ammo. I'm not sure how much, if any, the "Weapon Overhaul" mod I'm running is affecting that - it behaved the same every other time I picked it up, if my memory's not playing tricks on me.

This thread got me curious so I decided to use the gun to shoot up Mayor's office in DIamond City. Well, it was mostly cosmetic and only dealt 1 damage (like I think it says it does). Had better results just using fists. The fire rate is great, sure, but that's it.

Like a lap dog... all bark and no bite!
