Esther (GRA)

Esther is a unique weapon .
==Characteristics==
Although it is 10 pounds heavier than a standard Fat Man, Esther is more durable, never jams, costs 10 less Action Points per attack, is more powerful with a direct damage value of 75, and is able to use the GRA mini nuke ammo types.
Visually, the weapon has a different rear mechanism, a blast shield, a light-blue body, and a thick clear glass or plastic bed holding the mini nuke. 
When equipped, Esther provides unique defense bonuses. It grants a temporary 10 additional DT and 25 points of Radiation Resistance, giving the user extra protection from the damage caused by the weapon.
===Durability===
Esther can fire approximately 620 standard mini nukes from full condition before breaking. This is 125 mini nukes more than the standard Fat Man.
==Variants==
* Fat Man - the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
* Fat Man (GRA) - the customizable variant added with Gun Runners' Arsenal.
===Comparison===
==Location==
* Gun Runners - Sold by Vendortron.
==Notes==
* Even with the added DT and Radiation Resistance, a mini nuke shot at anything closer than long-range can still kill the player character, especially with the Big Kid mini nukes; however, with maximum Damage Resistance of ×0.8, they can easily survive the blast on normal difficulty. 
* Esther can contribute towards the Gun Runners' Arsenal challenges Master of the Arsenal, Overkill, and Curios and Relics.
* At 40 pounds, it is the heaviest weapon in the game, surpassing the standard Fat Man by 10 lbs. This can be cut down to 20 pounds with the Heavyweight perk.
* Esther's zoom targeting is more obstructed than the standard Fat Man due to the blast shield's thick frame.
* The increased DT and Radiation Resistance persist even when the weapon is holstered, similar to the unique weapon, Blood-Nap's Sneak bonus from the Lonesome Road add-on.
==Bugs==
* This weapon may not affect bighorners.
* Sometimes it can fire a second time without reloading.
* Sometimes kills towards the Overkill challenge will not count using this weapon.
* This weapon may not harm some coyotes. When killed, affected coyotes will display "Coyote" instead of "Search Coyote."
* Due to an incorrectly implemented texture set for the weapon, certain parts of the model may display in the game with broken textures.
* When Esther is equipped, the +10 DT bonus, while working, will not be shown in the inventory.
** The damage threshold seems to be lowered by -5 when equipping this weapon, while the bonus does actually apply.
