...8's sonic-soundwave-emitter-projecto-gun, able to broadcast sound at lethal frequencies. It also gives a great biogel massage.Doctor Dala

The sonic emitter - opera singer is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Background[]

Doctor 8, the inventor of the sonic emitter, created one of its audio files based on a recording of an opera singer. He stored it in his house in Higgs Village where it was left when he along with the rest of the Think Tank turned themselves into robots.

Characteristics[]

An energy-based pistol that weaponizes soundwaves to produce projectiles that inflict bonus damage against robots and power armor wearers. This variant of the weapon specifically inflicts a unique "critical strike dismemberment" effect, crippling the target's limbs and reducing its total HP by 20 on critical strikes. A lethal critical hit will dismember the target, similar to the secondary effect of the Bloody Mess perk.

The sonic emitter's oscilloscope takes on a red color when this audio file is uploaded. It is considered an improved holdout weapon.

Durability[]

The sonic emitter - opera singer can fire a total of about 495 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 21 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
