2) In the event that you don't have access to the spawn container or misplace the weapon, it is obtainable through Flak and Shrapnel (Vendors) in Rivet City. ===Updates==================================================================================================
Version 1. 1: Fixes an issue where KDS Restoreout (and similar mods) removes the only means of obtaining the gun. Version 1. 2: Fixes issue with the spawn container being referenced 18 times / Fixes unintended plasma effect upon death by critical hit.
