Cryolator (Fallout 76)

The Cryolator is a heavy gun .
==Characteristics==
The weapon creates a cryogenic spray when fired that fades away at mid-range. Firing continuously at an enemy may freeze it solid and render it unable to move or attack for a period of time. More durable enemies will require a longer exposure to the weapon's cryogenic spray, and some cannot be frozen at all. The Cryolator utilizes large amounts of ammunition quickly.
The crystallizing barrel mod will convert the weapon into a mid-range crystal shooter. This makes the weapon far more ammo-efficient, as well as granting additional benefits such as increased range and additional ballistic damage. However, the projectiles do not travel particularly quickly and suffer from a noticeable flight trajectory.
Due to having a sound level of "Normal" it is possible to use the weapon in stealth.

==Locations==
* Dropped by deathclaws, fog crawlers, Grafton Monsters, hermit crabs, honey beasts, mega sloths, mothmen, scorchbeasts, super mutant behemoths and wendigos.
==Notes==
* Due to the very low freezing rate, it will take more than 25 units of a cryo cell in order to noticeably freeze most targets.
** Cryolators with any combination of the quad, two-shot, or faster fire rate legendary effects will make freezing enemies easier.
* This weapon is affected by the Grounded mutation. 
* Cryolators no longer spawn with explosive (removed content). 
**Explosive Cryolators do less damage than non-explosive Cryolators, due to a bug that causes non-explosive Cryolators to receive a much greater benefit from Demolition Expert than Cryolators which are actually explosive.
* The Cryolator's model appears to be missing a trigger.
*The cryo cell loaded into the Cryolator used to incorrectly have fusion cell textures which colored the cryo cell's casing as yellow instead of blue. This was eventually patched. 
**Also on the Cryolator's model, its loaded cell is inserted backwards, with the contact point facing outwards.
===Changelog===
* Prior to Update 25, the Cryolator dealt energy damage instead of cryo damage.
* Prior to Update 23, the crystallizing barrel mod would apply damage and the freezing effect to the owner when firing at the ground or at objects that were very close.
==Bugs==
* The crystalizing barrel's explosions deal 100% of the Cryolator's damage, instead of the intended 20% Fixed in patch 1.7.11.12
