Thanks =D
I'll give you a obvious hint. The name of the gun is tied to a particular quest. When you've found the quest, you'll know where to look for the gun.
Lol ok. Thanks, friend. I will look out for it.
Here's another hint if you want it... Lincoln Repeater is a historic artifact... where would one of those be?
Ok...lemme take a stab at it....I have only just arrived at Rivet City and I found a ancient artefacts display thing. The dude asked me to retrieve the declaration of independence in a archives place. Is the repeater there or in Rivet itself?
Neither, but your warm. It's definitely in the DC area.
Hmmm.....It's not in Rivet, it's not in the archives, it could be in.....the history museum?

Edit: only found the history museum yesterday. Don't know where it is inside it though...IF this is where it is

Don't have one, but best I could find, it's entirely random.

It's also not as useful as it seems... It's more of a collector's item or "get out of jail free card". It has very limited ammo (best I can tell, the ammo available to it is the one that crashes with it, so, a lot of it can be lost in the crash) and a critical shortage of parts for repair (only way to repair it is with the alien gun, and vice versa, limiting it's repairs to one)... It's a nice detail, a novelty item, that's all. Don't worry too much about it.

Lincoln's repeater ftw.
Theres over 100 more rounds at the one outcast fort I cant remember which maybe fort liberty all i know is its in the amory

Nice! I will search later. My fav weapon is the Hunting rifle, and a more powerful one will be welcome.

TES IV is inscribed on a metal plate on the telephone poles behind Big Town. If you haven't found Big Town, there's a quest (Big Trouble in Big Town) that begins if you go to the Germantown Police Station and find a certain incarcerated character, or if you find Big Town itself.

When I previously owned F'out 3 I found Big Town and enjoyed completing the quest, then gaining mega good karma when you go there at night and killing off some Super Mutants.

But, upon owning it this time, I have yet to explore that side of the map. So far, I have only visited Tenpenny and Arefu on the left/top sides of the map. Been hanging out in old DC mainly. I might go to Big Town Soon. The Quest encourages exploration. I need some exploration. First, Ima go get the Lincoln's Repeater at the history museum.


Lol back to the topic of your post...oooooohohhhhhh...i can't believe it is actually in the game!!!! Woop!

i have the FIRELANCE well atleast i did before i accedintly deleted over the account well everyone pull up a chair its story time.
Here is the setting post acplytic wasteland a young 19 year old man walks the wastes he is on an errand for some insane shop keeper wants me to check a "super duper mart" so as I walk the irritaded wastes i hear an explosion I think nothing of it you hear that all the time out here. As i walk over the top of a hill i spy i building off in the distance by my map that must be the place. As i get nearer i hear gunfire I sneak up and as I peak around the corner of the building, i see a half dozen raiders gunning down a couple rad scropions no big deal.
I stay behind cover try to get as close as possible, because i dont have any ammo for my guns im just armed with a sledge hammer (red faction) the raiders spot me, I run at them strafing to avoid gunfire one of the raiders fires what seems like a plasma pistol at me, I think nothing of it, as I kill them all off one by one smashing limbs and killing them in the most grizzly fashion. Finally as the last one falls to a sledge to the forehead i began the degrading bussiness of looting the bodies. I go from body to body taking caps, guns, ammo, anything of use, I come across something strange on one raider its something i have never seen before it seems so alien...

1) Sort out that wall.
2) Sort out the punctuation
3) AWESOME

I guess I just have to keep an eye out then

I have one, found it near Rockopolis.
I can't even find rockopolis. I have no idea. I will google now.
Ok. North of Grayditch. Look for a line of christmas lights/flags near some rocks and use local map. I can do that.

Damn it's not in that location. The dude on the forum i was reading made a mistake.

It is "west of Smith Casey's Garage". Wherever that is....

Ok got it off the vault wiki.

"Smith Casey's is 7 squares west of Megaton." I haven't found this yet as I have not completed much of the main quest. So...I go there (Bypassing the garage to not spoil the location I will forget by the time I do the main quest). So...I go 7 squares west of M'ton, travelling a square underneath the square casey's is in, then re-align myself being careful not to discover casey's, and keep west till I see rockopolis.

Does anyone have the firelance? Does anyone know how to get it?

Also, while I'm at the Fallout mysteries...who has found a location called
Bethesda Ruins
? What is it supposed to be? The ruins of the realistic location of the actual Bethesda Studios? Or just a building with the name as an easter egg?
You never actually see the ufo with the firelance. You may hear an explosion or (if at night) see a flash. What will tip you off is the sudden appearance of glowing alien ammo on the ground. Pick up all the ammo and if you don't see the firelance set Dogmeat looking for it, then have him look for ammo too; he's sure to find clips you didn't.

A cool little aspect of Bethesda Ruins: if you still need to level up Big Guns skill go back there every 3 days and kill the two raiders with flamethrowers in the buildings. One of them has a BG skill book that re-spawns with him.

Why does everyone, but everyone, have dogmeat? I personally absolutely hate having a companion. i tried out having dogmeat, and I ended up killing him. I had no choice. I HATED having him there all the time, and so tried to tell him to fuck off. But there is no option to remove him as a companion, so I needed to kill him. I wasted like half the ammo on my specialized plasma rifle aswell. I don't remember where I found the weapon, but it is something like A3-(some numbers)'s plasma rifle?

Awesome weapon. Uses same ammo as the laser rifle. Wierd.

That plasma gun (A1...) came from the Android when you finished the Replicated Man Quest. It is very cool.

I don't like Dogmeat following me around either. Thats why I tell him to wait at the safehouse. Then if I need him for something like this, I go back there, pick him up and get my loot. Then I go back to the safe house and leave him there again.

Shoot. Well...maybe if I get the puppies! perk at lvl 22...then maybe even though he's dead a puppy will appear? Or will he reappear at the scrap/vault 101?

Sigh.

I could deal without him. Plus...in dialogue with him I only got the option to make wait at the Vault. What's the safehouse/where is it?

I played off the ps3 so I don't have puppies. I don't know if the puppy shows up at 101 or Scrapyard nor am I sure if the perk is useful if dogmeat is already dead.

Yea, you can send him to 101 which is useful if you want to keep going around but don't want him with you. I just had the regular safehouse in Megaton and while there with him, used the "wait right here." speech option.

My Firelance story is kind of sad actually.

For reference, Dogmeat had already died.

I was exploring the northern part of the map, near where Oasis is, under the monorail tracks or whatever they are, when I heard the explosion. Sure enough, I turn around and there's alien blaster ammo everywhere, but no firelance.... I'm assuming the firelance ended up on top of the monorail tracks and I couldn't for the life of me find a way to get up there. I had to leave it.
