Not sure whether this will actually be a player-usable weapon, I think it's probably a super-weapon of some kind. For example, it could be used to annihilate the Adams Air Force Base via use of satellites; this would explain both the name of one of the quests (Death From Above) and the achievement picture for Who Dares Wins. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- But despite that, MikaelGrizzly added an image of the someone using this/a weapon against a Vertibird. However, looking at the image, it may also be the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle. Anyone care to comment? -- Sentinel 101 18:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

- Well, lasers usually fire red beams in Fallout 3 and variants of a gun usually use the same base model (e.g. Wazer Wifle uses the AER9 Laser Rifle model), so it's more likely it's the Tesla Cannon (or another new weapon) imo. -- Porter21 (talk) 18:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

The original image at VG247 was named TeslaCannon.jpg. Oh gee, wonder what that might mean? That Furry Bastard 19:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
I bet $100 it won't be repairable except by merchants.
- That doesn't bother me much. A super weapon is still a super weapon even at 50% durability.

i'm wondering what kind of ammo this thing is using. any idea?62.163.88.139 16:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I'd imagine either ECP or a unique kind. Dragonjts 16:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, I think the picture shows the actual Tesla Cannon. In one of the many interviews about Broken Steel, the Tri-Beam Laser was described as some kind of a shotgun-like laser carried by Super Mutant Overlords. The thing in the picture and it's discharge - doesn't really look like a shotgun to me. Pretty focused on that Vertibird. ;-) It seems to be using ECP as ammunition. Have a closer look at the picture, the small red thing on the cannon's back. To me, it looks like an ECP (compare picture on he ammunition pages). Finally, I'm pretty shure the cannon is usable by the player. First thing, where would the fun part be if you couldn't? Damn those Vertibirds... And, if you have a close look at the picture again, the guy wielding the cannon, isn't that a Pip-Boy on his left wrist?
Huh, forgot the signature. First time user, sorry! --Sopyt 19:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
i didn't notice until you pointed it out, but i'd say that is an ecp. 207.164.136.6 14:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
