In Fallout 4 though I find it outmatched by ALL of the standard weapons I usually have on my person. In both Fallout 3 and in New Vegas the Alien blaster was extreme and quite frankly as overpowered as it coukd get (especially in Fallout 3). It might be that I’m at a ridiculusly high level at the moment (level 80 after 100hours+ gameplay), but I simply don’t get anywhere near the damage from it as I expected to. Not entirelly sure how it’s “one of the most powerful weapons in Fallout 4”, honestly I find the damage output to be rather low compared to other weapons.
