Firelance

[mmmmmtoast]

So, ive been playing this file for 70 hours now and have never gotten the random encounter so im just gonna ask. Where is the best place to try and force the encounter? Ive looked stuff up and i just keep getting unlucky with whatever i try.

Near Fort Bannister is a big like crash site with an over turned truck go there at night and there will be 50 alien power cells there and usually one of the Talon Mercs will have it biggrin

Dude, i found the firelance by killing a raider. He was shooting me with it. It was at meresi trainyard or something. The place where the family is. And there where a whole lot of alien cell's around too.  

[O-ORan-ChanO-O]

Yeah thats what happened to me excpet at fort Bannister

Ohh. It was funny cause, if fawks hadn't been there, the raider would have killed me. xD Fire lance is so strong e.e

Always wanted it but I've never seen it.
Thought I found it once at some radio tower near Vault 87 but then I went on the rocks and found a Super Mutant with a missile launcher, after I tried to search the place for the alien ammo.

I guess i can try Fort Bannister, and Meresti

bring dogmeat with you to help find the ammo and the firelance  

[Erekayu]

Just try to walk around the whole map. you need high luck (9? 10?)

and look around fort bannister (high R.E. area), other than that...pray, it's just as useful.  

[Blades Of Null]

i got it with 7/10 luck sweatdrop  

[Erekayu]

I had 9 luck.

and I had other such useful things from random events to heal me from the first shot that hit me.

High luck helps, other than that you just have to keep walking about. Make sure you have dogmeat with you, or you'll end up missing some of the ammo.  

[Erekayu]

and if dog meat is dead, i suggest buying broken steal so you can get the "Puppies!" perk. Apparently, even in death dogmeat has a litter.

Every time a dog dies, wait a week, and there will be another waiting at vault 101. sometimes less if you've been REEEEEEEEAAALLLLLL careful with your dawg.  

[mmmmmtoast]

Its ok guys i know the best ways HOW to get it i just cant find WHERE.

Still havent found it yet...  

[Erekayu]

Well, whose fault is that?
