Fusion Launcher is a rocket launcher in Wasteland 3.

Description[ | ]

This weapon's projectiles carry a massive charge, and will continue to arc dangerously for some time after impact.

Despite preinstalled Energy damage, it is possible to convert this weapon to other damage types (Fire, Cold or Explosive) by using the appropriate damage type conversion mods. This won't add a second damage type but replace the originally installed Energy damage.

Damage can be increased from various bonuses. Also Energy damage provide +99 Armor penetration, which negates target's armor completely.
