📋 About This Mod
The Commando Laser was a bid by Wattz Electronics to win the military contract for laser rifles away from General Atomics and their AER series. Submitted as the XMLR-3A, the final version was approved for limited production and issue as the MLR-3B. It was to be the holdover weapon for the Enclave until their plasma projects were finalized, but the weapons never arrived at Enclave bases...
Of course, that's just how it fits in Fallout.

A new laser rifle with new reload animations, one unique version, and a unique form of world distribution.
- 10 Receivers (Standard array).
-8 Barrels (up to four available at a time)
-3 Magazines (up to two available at a time)
The Commando Laser is set up to be comparable to the Combat Rifle or Assault Rifle, pulling a bit more power out of a laser platform than the vanilla Laser Gun. As such the required levels for parts are a bit higher.
How To Get It:
The weapon does not initially start in leveled lists, but is placed in the world.
