Fallout 76 Alien disintegrator

The Alien Disintegrator is a formidable energy weapon introduced in Fallout 76's "Invaders from Beyond" update. Favored by alien invaders, this rifle allows them to engage enemies from a distance, minimizing damage to their power armor. Notably, alien invaders can wield the disintegrator single-handedly, enabling the simultaneous use of plasma grenades.

Acquisition

To obtain the Alien Disintegrator, players must acquire its crafting plan. This plan is a rare reward from the "Invaders from Beyond" seasonal event. Once the plan is learned, the weapon can be crafted at a weapons workbench. Additionally, as of Patch 1.7.11.12, the plan is tradable between players, providing an alternative means of acquisition.

The Alien Disintegrator is one of the most unique and powerful Fallout 76 items, introduced in the "Invaders from Beyond" update. This energy weapon not only delivers impressive damage but also offers a range of modifications, such as cryo, poison, and high-powered receivers, allowing players to tailor it to their combat preferences. To obtain this sought-after item, players must participate in the seasonal event or trade for its crafting plan, making it a prized addition to any inventory. Like many Fallout 76 items, its versatility and effectiveness make it a must-have for surviving the challenges of the wasteland.

Usage Notes

Additionally, the cryo and poison damage conversions are incompatible with the automatic fire mode. Players should consider these factors when customizing the weapon to suit their playstyle.
