The Tesla rifle is a ranged weapon in Fallout 76.
Characteristics[]
The Tesla rifle fires electricity that deals full damage to the initial enemy target (or the targeted surface) before it chains for less damage to nearby enemies.
The chain lightning effect will deal 35% less damage to each successive target: the first chain target will take 65% of the Tesla's full damage and the second chain target will take 42.25% of the Tesla's full damage.
The weapon has an aiming radius more like a shotgun, wider than other rifles.

Notes[]
- Affected by the Grounded mutation.
- The charging lob barrel is now a legacy item. It was broken in the August 2023 update, but is now working again as of December 2023.
- The charging shotgun barrel mod box is mislabeled as Tesla rifle shotgun barrel.
Bugs[]
- The Tesla rifle may occasionally drop without a sight attachment.[verified]
- shotgun.[verified] The charging shotgun Tesla rifle is not considered a
- When fired at surfaces, arc damage always deals -35% damage to the initial chain target and another -35% damage on top of that to the second chain target, regardless of barrel or charge. When fired at enemies, the Tesla correctly deals 100% damage to the targeted enemy.[verified]
- Automatic, charging and charging shotgun barrels are adding or subtracting weapon damage itself instead of modifying damage multiplicatively or adding or subtracting to the additive damage bonus multiplier.[verified]
- [patched] Due to the above, glitched Tesla rifles that spawn in at levels 1-39, which have 0 base damage, were able to deal billions of damage per hit due to an integer overflow. This issue has been resolved as of update 34.
- The arc damage is unaffected by the uncharged modifier, and will deal more damage than an uncharged direct impact.[verified]
When using a charging or charging shotgun barrel, an uncharged direct impact is reduced by more than -50%.[verified]
- Any Tesla rifle may leave lingering developer marker text (CHAIN) at points of impact instead of the anticipated visual effects. This glitch serves as a sign that the server is laggy and about to crash.[verified]
- Grenadier perk.[verified] The chain effect is coded as an explosion and is affected by the
- As of Steel Dawn, the Tesla rifle no longer has bugged charge data. As a result, the non-charging variants will deal less damage and the charging variants will actually add damage when charged.[patched]
- [verification overdue] When reloading in third person and at the same time moving sideways, the reload animation will bug out and the character will appear facing downwards for a second.
- [patched]
- After being fixed, however, the tesla lobber now deals zero damage and leaves (CHAIN) marks wherever it hits.
From August–December 2023, the lobber mod was broken and would only fire like a normal, semi-auto tesla rifle. It was widely believed to be intentional prior to its fix.
