“You're laser-crazy and it shows! Minor bonus to critically hit with all laser weapons.”— in-game description
Set Lasers for Fun is a challenge and perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Challenge requirements[]
This perk is rewarded upon completing both the "Set Lasers for Fun" damage challenge (inflict 16,000 damage with pistol-grip energy weapons) and the Beam (Weapon) Me Up damage challenge (inflict 25,000 damage with rifle-grip energy weapons), which grant a rank depending on which challenge is completed first.
Effects[]
Gaining this perk grants a permanent increase to Critical Chance when using energy weapons, increased with each rank completed:
- +2% critical hit chance with energy weapons
- +4% critical hit chance with energy weapons
Notes[]
- The perk's effect applies to all energy weapons despite the description stating only laser weapons are affected.
- Like Light Touch and Laser Commander, the damage bonus is not affected by the weapon's critical chance multiplier.
- This challenge is not repeatable.
Behind the scenes[]
The perk's name is a reference to the phrase, "Set phasers to stun," in the Star Trek franchise.
