Infused Surge Blaster is a craftable handgun in Wasteland 3: Cult of the Holy Detonation.

Description[]

Electricity is great and all, but gamma rays are where all the rad energy weapon tech is going these days.

Characteristics[]

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.
