In regards to ammo, Cryo Cells now function like Fusion Cores with each having 25 units available to consume before being exhausted. Stocks have received the same treatment as the Integrated Stock leaves the base stats untouched while the Recoil Compensator increases stability and decreases felt recoil but at the cost of increased weight. They don't affect weight, aim-down-sights time, weapon sway, or any other stat. Sights for the weapon have also been similarly altered, the Integrated Sights not changing any stats while the Glow Sights simply adds in Tritium to make it easier to aim in low-light conditions and in general.

Now dealing 75 Ballistic damange and a meager 5 Cryo, it's freezing potential and crowd-control abilities largely sacrificed for increased range and sheer damage output. The Initial Barrel doesn't affect performance in any way, the vanilla version doing so, while the Crystallizing Module has been turned into a ice cannon instead of the snowball launcher it previously was. However, that's not all as other aspects have been reworked as well.īarrels have undergone a significant change. Few enemies and equipment protects against Cryo damage, making it highly effective against pretty much everyone and everything in the wasteland. However, all that has been fixed and more with the reworked Cryolator.Ĭoming in at 11.6 pounds, 13.2 max, possessing an unchanging VATS cost of 27 AP, and sporting 20 Cryo damage by default, the Cryolator's might now matches its frost-covered, experimental appearance. Utilizing a fairly rare and hard-to-find ammunition type, only sporting 3 mods max (and weighing in 19.7 pounds when outfitted with said mods), and being more or less useless without any ranks in Heavy Gunner, it was no surprise that many opted out of using the weapon or forgetting about it altogether once leaving Vault 111. only to be tossed to the side once its shortcomings were made obvious. However, with the advent of Fallout 4, the Cryolator finally made its debut. Alas, it wasn't implemented with only textures and meshes hidden within the BSAs showing what the weapon would have looked like. First seen in concept art for Fallout 3, the Cryolator was to be a makeshift weapon capable of freezing enemies.
