Mega Scope is a sniper rifle in Wasteland 3.

Description

The gyros and targeting system in Quarex's rifle provide guaranteed hits. The six megawatt laser drills through them.

Characteristics

This weapon has no critical strike associated with it, so strike rate is irrelevant. However, the lowest attack cost among sniper rifles can be used to more quickly charge a critical strike and have it struck by another weapon.

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.
