Tesla rifle (Fallout 76)

The Tesla rifle is a ranged weapon .
==Characteristics==
The Tesla rifle fires electricity that deals full damage to the initial enemy target (or the targeted surface) before it chains for less damage to nearby enemies.
The chain lightning effect will deal 35% less damage to each successive target: the first chain target will take 65% of the Tesla's full damage and the second chain target will take 42.25% of the Tesla's full damage.
The weapon has an aiming radius more like a shotgun, wider than other rifles.

==Variants==
* Night Light - A unique Tesla rifle given as a Survival mode reward available during May 21–27 and August 13–20, 2019.
==Locations==
* Purchase the plan from Vendor bot Phoenix in the Super-Duper Mart at Watoga Shopping Plaza.
* Purchase the plan from the Brotherhood vendor in the Whitespring Mall.
* Rarely dropped by deathclaws.
* Rarely dropped by boss chests.
==Notes==
* Affected by the Grounded mutation.
* The charging lob is a legacy item
* The charging shotgun mod box is mislabeled as Tesla rifle shotgun barrel.
==Bugs==
* The Tesla rifle may occasionally drop without a sight attachment.
* The charging shotgun Tesla rifle is not considered a shotgun.
* When fired at surfaces, arc damage always deals -35% damage to the initial chain target and another -35% damage on top of that to the second chain target, regardless of barrel or charge. When fired at enemies, the Tesla correctly deals 100% damage to the targeted enemy.
* Automatic, charging and charging shotgun barrels are adding or subtracting weapon damage itself instead of modifying damage multiplicatively or adding or subtracting to the additive damage bonus multiplier.
* Due to the above, glitched Tesla rifles that spawn in at levels 1-39, which have 0 base damage, were able to deal billions of damage per hit due to an integer overflow. This issue has been resolved as of update 34.
* When using a charging or charging shotgun barrel, an uncharged direct impact is reduced by more than -50%.
** The arc damage is unaffected by the uncharged modifier, and will deal more damage than an uncharged direct impact.
* Any Tesla rifle may leave lingering developer marker text (CHAIN) at points of impact instead of the anticipated visual effects. This glitch serves as a sign that the server is laggy and about to crash.
* The chain effect is coded as an explosion and is affected by the Grenadier perk.
* As of Steel Dawn, the Tesla rifle no longer has bugged charge data. As a result, the non-charging variants will deal less damage and the charging variants will actually add damage when charged.
