I got a Never ending Double Barrel Shotgun from a ghoul yesterday. And then I found a dollar on the ground, on my way to school. My luck was definitely 10 that day.
@@robboss1363 Oh it goes with each other like chocolate and banana. It doesn't even classify as "hit" anymore, it fucking MELTS. IT MELTS ANYTHING. Just spam left click and there you go (as long as you have enough shells)
The gun is obviously using one fusion core all at once to open a quantum wormhole to another plan of existence, where it harvests an unlimited energy source called magica. It then uses this magica to fuel its normal operations of emitting burning beams of light in the direction indicated by the orientation of the weapon's barrel. It needs further fusion cores loaded, because of a hardwired safety feature in the original weapon, that won't let the gun try to fire without a fusion core inserted, which the original modifier of the weapon never took out, because they were lazy, and it worked well enough.
What no way his voice has a slightly higher pitch and Tom Hanks voice is calmmer with slight volume change as he talks.....(sigh*) I watch his movies waaay to much god damn he's a good actor and I am a terrible speller
I use a mod that creates a Gatling Laser ammo type. You create gatling laser ammo at the lab station where 1 Fusion Core = 500 ammo. This allows this weapon to work properly, similar to all the other legendary weapons with the Never-Ending prefix, consuming ammo until you are out without reloading. Never-Ending just means you never have to reload.
Indeed, that is why these bugs are occurring... fusion cores are not proper ammo. Where other ammo types are a straight 1 ammo for 1 shot, cores are 1 ammo for 600 shots. This is likely going to cause all sorts of problems when interacting with code designed to pull 'shots' straight from inventory. It is going to try and interact with the core as if it was a 1 ammo for 1 shot, which even explains some of the strange results Oxhorn got where it consumed a whole core after 1 shot. I think we should be amazed that someone attempted to fix this problem, even if it did mean more complicated code that clearly has a few bugs still. Personally like the solution of adding an ammo type, but then I am very much against the idea of fusion cores in the first place. If I could make a mod; Make power Armour and Gatling run off fusion cells, turn all but one core into depleted cores that trickle power to a settlement at best, those two functioning cores are designed to run any cell based technology indefinitely. Sure, a high end character would have Power Armour or energy weapon that never needs recharging but that same character is likely swimming in Cores by that point in the game anyway.... Additionally, you could make it so that core runs a power plant with the ability to export indefinite power to all settlements in the commonwealth. It might even require laying power lines between settlements like we do with supply lines already. Costs resources to build such a line and can come under attack by raiders looking to cause trouble, so another level of management you have to worry about.
Tom de Jong I found some mods that do what he was talking about, but unfortunate none of them state that they are available for consoles. This one seems to be the most straightforward and easy to use for people playing on PC: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5345 I would try typing “Gatling Laser” in the search bar on mod page site for consoles and see what comes up. Seems like it would be easy to make so I bet someone would’ve made it by now
The never ending effect is supposed to let you load all of your ammo at once, meaning you never have to reload, but because of how the Gatling laser ammo works with the fusion core it acts really weirdly.
I'm kinda sad you can't put a beam splitter modification on the Gatling laser. I mean, who doesn't want a fully automatic laser shotgun with infinite ammo?
From Fallout 1, you can wear Power Armour with no training at all, and you can equip it alone 'on the spot'. Though it is not powered or, at leas, you do not need to replace power sources. I was wondering if Power Cores shouldn't be rarer, but just 'eternal'. After all, this should be the original lore, I guess.
Training was never really needed and while lore does state it took multipe people to put on a suit I assume they just dropped that part in FO3, FNV and FO4 (especially since FO3 and FO4 barely respect the franchises lore anyway) in order to make using them more convenient for the player. Bethesda is however doing their best to turn Power Armors into the most marginal thing ever. In FO3 you saw your first suit of PA way earlier than you should have and you got it not too long after that and in FO4 you're basically handed the first one within your first hour of playing. I assume they added the power limitation (which completely breaks lore in regards to the cores) in order to balance the fact that you get your PA so early on. Meanwhile the real FO gaves (meaning the ones made by Black isle and the former Black isle people at Obsidian) don't even ask for a power core because it is borderline impossible for it to run out on you no matter how much you use it. You could hop into a Power Armor as a kid, start running and then continue to run until you die of old age and the core would not only outlast you, it would likely have enough power for someone else to do the exact same thing again. Black isle/Obsidian balanced this by making PA as rare as they are supposed to be by lore. If you want PS you'll either be attacking the Brotherhood, the Enclave (or whatever is left of them) or you can consider yourself one of the luckiest people alive if you just "randomly stumble upon one".
Ledge Buoy fo3 and fo4 don't respect the law? who the fuck cares at least they're fun games. plus Bethesda are the ones who actually made fallout popular anyway.
+tom 95 Quite a few people care about the lore. Especially considering you are on a channel discussing the story of certain areas and people which is often based on the games lore. As for FO1 and FO2 not being popular, that's a pretty ridiculous notion to be honest. You might simply not have been born when the games came out, but that doesn't mean that they were not considered gems that everyone who called themselves a gamer had to have played in their time. Bethesda bought the rights to the franchise precisely BECAUSE the Fallout franchise did so well already. People back then (and by back then I don't mean ancient rome but the early 2000s) were extremely pissed that after Interplay screwed over Black isle Studios (and forced them to cancel development on their own version of Fallout 3) they then sold the rights to Bethesda and Bethesda just sat on it for a while doing absolutely nothing until they released a game that was set in the FO world but set in one of the 2 areas that were stated by lore to no longer house ANY life, because they thought "Uhm, president and stuff? Washington's gotta be important, right?" when the previous games clearly stated that the president left Washington years before the war started because he knew it would be bombed to shit and then Washington and NY were in fact bombed to shit and hit by 90% of the nuclear bombs that hit the entirety of america turning that area into a giant crater with radioactive storms that would STILL kill any human that tried to walk there.
The Gatling Laser fusion core use is buggy at the best of times, often inserting new cores automatically. Probably the dichotomy between the cores and the shot allowance is what is causing the Neverending enchantment to glitch. With all other weapons with Neverending (Prototype UP77 "Limitless Potential" at University Point) it fires rounds straight from your inventory without the need to reload, effectively giving you an unlimited magazine, but not infinite ammo. On that note: Neverending missile launcher is the ultimate weapon.
At a glance, when showing the jet pack glitch, it looks as though you were still using the 5 cores you had stacked together. If that is correct, then the fact that the 4 were showing zero charge might explain why they cycled through very quickly only giving you a small amount of boost from the jet pack. This would be related to the question surrounding why they were registering zero in the first place upon using the Gatling laser. I'd love to look at this code. I suspect it's an easy fix. Finding it will be the problem.
I got that glitch a month ago. It is a mod glitch that doeant have to have anythinv to do with PA or FC. Just walking will drain them. It sucks. Ran through 50 FC before i realized what was happening
From Fallour wiki: "If the user has one or two fusion cores in the inventory, Aeternus will fire off 1 or 2 rounds before fully depleting the cores. If one has at least three fusion cores, the fresh loaded weapon will use a seemingly random portion of one fusion core before reaching "unlimited ammunition." This is valid up until one loads a new fusion core either by equipping another weapon, modifying the Aeternus in a weapons workbench, or increasing the amount of fusion cores in ones inventory."
The fastest way I found to spawn the Amoral quest was to quick travel back to the commonwealth and then quick travel back to nuka world. It usually took 2 (maybe 3) tries but it would spawn the quest pretty consistently.
@@donutthegod9591Same. Nothing seems to be working Edit: nm, i did exactly that. Fast travel to commonwealth, then fast travel to nuka world and then fast travel to cola cars arena. Do that until the wuest triggers. To repeat it, take a left to tue side of cola cars until you find wood stairs, follow that path until you come out the back on cola cars by going through the car park, ahead if you, you will see a broken wall, run to the wall and then head back. The event should trigger again.
after you kill all the raiders and completed open season quest yes you still can do Amoral Combat quest, but its alot harder to get so if you killed all the raiders but want this weapon you still can it will just take some time. also, if you had a problem where you killed the rogue knight and he doesn't have the aternus on his body just look around, he has a randomly generated legendary thing but to get the aternus look on the ground its not in his body if you do it after open season it will be raiders there, they wont be hostile until after you kill the challenger, you can also pick pocket the raiders(before or after open season) and if you get caught nothing happens
amoral combat stopped generating for me after i killed all the raiders and the last enemy i fought was a super mutant named "rage" i have an xb1 and i am at level 88
Fusion cores aren't rare if you buy them. And they are relativity cheap if your using them as ammo. I ran the calculation and even at 1 charisma when fusion cores cost 670 caps, you'll still be spending a mere 1.34 caps per shot, a huge contrast to any laser rifle which would cost 3.6 caps per shot with 16 charisma or 10.05 caps per shot with 1. and 1.34 is the most expensive the Gatling laser will go. Not to mention the fact that you can reduce ammo consumption greatly with charging barrels, increase shot yield by up to 1100 with nuclear physicist and the repair bobble head near Lexington. With all of this combined the cheapest ammo will get is 0.218 caps per shot. Although to be fair it is still a gun best suited for a heavy/power armor build with good intelligence due to the fact that most mods are blocked behind a Science! level 4 requirements.
The vanilla game caps its ammo limit at 500 shots and what actually happens with nuclear physicist is that you have 54% charge left which is about 22-24 minutes of power armour usage but without power attacks, jetpacks, vats... However, it is still just SLIGHTLY above a default core without skills. So... ye, 500 shots each dealing above 120 damage AND around default charge left? 2efficient7mei.
Also, especially with charging barrels, you can reload when you get low and sell those low cores back to a merchant for the full price. So, I think it's base price is 200 meaning 240 is buy price and 160 is sell price with max pricing. 80caps for 500 pretty beefy shots.
What if you bought 20 Fusion Cores and then Duplicated it to 65,535?.. and then you kept duplicating 65,535 every 30 IRL Minutes until you reach 1 Million Fusion Cores???
The Gatling Laser on its own is buggy enough. When you switch weapons, it always ejects the current fusion core and starts on a new one, eventually creating a massive and annoying list of partially used fusion cores. Applying that legendary effect was a horrible idea, making something that's already buggy an absolute glitch fest. I wish someone would make a mod that makes the Gatling Laser load ammo like the Junk Jet.
There's a mod that converts's the Fusion Core Ammo type to Gatling Laser Core's, essentially skipping the entire spent fusion core issue. You can convert 1 core to 500 gatling laser core rounds at a chemistry station, and it works with all existing and future gatling laser drops. Super simple, simple small, such a huge change.
@@thegreywaren I think it finally has. The Aeternus works fine for me and seems to always use the same fusion core, as only one has been consumed so far despite me changing weapons quite often. Weirdly enough it's at 89/100, so I have no idea how it actually functions. Maybe it spends 1% of the charge each time you draw the gun? Well, it's still an awesome and OP weapon.
Aeturnus is, I think, related to Eternal so it's probably closer to being pronounced like that. As far as the Never Ending effect goes, if you happen to find it on a smaller gun like a pistol or a rifle what happens is that you can load your entire inventory of ammo into the weapon, that means it's "unlimited" because that's how much you can carry(if you don't mind moving slowly). On an automatic weapon this effectively means you can keep firing a never ending stream. Not sure how this effects the Aeternus though. Considering this comment is pretty late I wonder if you have a better idea of whats happening.
I think the intent of the Neverending Legendary Effect (since I've seen it on a few others) is that you just don't have to reload and it just pulls ammo straight from your inventory. I expect that the effect just bugs out because of how the weapon effect, fusion cores and, possibly, the Nuclear Physicist perk interact
You had asked for info experience about getting this. I fortunately didn't have any problems as reported by several players. The arena showdowns started with the first one after I came back from doing a radiant quest for a tribe. I would go do another tribe radiant quest, return, and was informed another fly was coming through the Gauntlet's web. This happened every time until I was able to get the Aeternus. So, basically I did five radiant tribe quests and immediately did the arena battles. Sounds like I lucked out and the game performed correctly. This was a great video about the gun and how it effects power cores. Please keep up the awesome work!!
stop buying bethesda games. guess if bethesda releases a game and ther eare only 100 sold copies, they panik and the community says: yeah, we'd buy it, but with all those issues..... you can bet it takes 3 days max until you get a real working game. but to most kids, games are more important than air to breathe and rather buy more and more bugged games with ridiculous purchase microtransactions than use their ultimate power of money
TeaInTheMorning4929 Exactly, Bethesda tried all they could to get proper mod support on ps4 but Sony was like "Fuck you guys" and so that's why it's like it is.
Umm ox... Charging barrels with aeternus? (or however you spell it) charging barrels is for sniper-ish builds or for saving ammo. Saving ammo with unlimited ammo?
you cannot get an explosive gatling laser, no laser can be explosive.. and in terms of RAW dps standard is better but not the most practical or effective in every situation.. Charging barrels are the most efficient source of ammo in the game, each shot can deal up to 160/170 damage with the right perks, on armoured targets this is MUCH more efficient than using standard barrels, even on enemies like feral ghouls with pretty much no armour or damage resistance the charging barrels work just as good as the standard, 2-3 shots on most will kill unless it’s glowing ones or legendaries.. and if you really care about a pointlessly high fire rate then crouch in third person with charging barrels and voila you have a overpowered monstrosity
@Oxhorn. I never had an issue with fusion cores, when I started the game I had a fully speced out intelligence and the first perk I picked when leveling up was Science! and that allowed me to go into sanctuary and build the biggest water purifiers, I then farmed for resources and traded them for all the necessary components to build a ton of these things along with a ton of generators with the 10 power rating. With this I am producing 600 purified waters per day. And I just go to diamond city with as much as I can cary and still fast travel and trade them for fusion cores, armor, weapons, anything I need. So I have a nearly limitless supply of fusion cores.
As a general rule, Latin words with "AE" in them, are either phonetically pronounced as "ee" or as "eye". So it would be named either "Eternus", or sound as if it's called 'Eye'ternus. I think in this case, it would be safe to assume it's pronounced "Eternus".
5:15 I think what happened is you used the jetpack just as soon as the fusion core ran out, then it saw all the other fusion cores as one unit of ONE fusion core. That's my assumption.
The weirdness regarding the fusion cores getting depleted works as follows: When you equip Aeternus, it plugs a fresh (i.e. 100 / 100) core into the gun. This will display in the ammo display as 500/n, where n is the total number of fusion cores in your inventory. The level of charge in each of those fusion cores is not relevant in calculating n. As soon as you take your first shot, the display will be brought to n-1/n. If you check your inventory, the previously fresh core will be at .2(n-1) / 100. It will remain at that level for as long as Aeternus remains equipped. The core gets instantly "burned" down to that level, but never any further. If you unequip Aeternus and reequip it later, this will occur again, and another fresh core will get burned. Thus, the closer you are to having 500 cores in your inventory, the less your cores will get burned when you unequip and reequip Aeternus. While this does mean that Aeternus does (annoyingly) deplete your overall access to fusion power over time, particularly if you swap weapons frequently, the thing to bear in mind is that sustained fire from a Gatling Laser will normally deplete a core in just under twenty seconds. Partially depleting a single core whenever you unequip Aeternus is _far_ less of a strain on your resources over the long term. I am uncertain as to what occurs if you have more than 500 cores, or if you have the Nuclear Physicist perk (which effectively increases the magazine size of Gatling Lasers), as I have not tested those conditions. I suspect that in the former case, the result would be that your cores don't get burned at all. I suspect in the latter that your cores would become _more_ burned, as the core would be set to (n-1)/(5*1.25) / 100, (n-1)/(5*1.5) / 100, or (n-1)/(5*2) / 100 at rank 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
Thanks, I heard that this weapon is extremely bugged and if not handle correctly it can completely fuck up your fusion cores. However no other youtubers seems to mention it
I figured it out! And then I posted it on the wiki. When firing the Aeternus with a fresh fusion core, the shown ammo will always become 1 less than all the fusion cores ones inventory. The remaining charge of the active fusion core is not equivalent to this number. If the maximum number of fusion cores in ones inventory is 1, the ammunition in the clip will become 0, causing the fusion core to deplete and vanish. As such, the Aeternus is nearly completely useless if one has only 1 fusion core in their inventory. Additionally, if the amount of fusion cores in ones inventory increases while the Aeternus is out, the current fusion core will instantly be consumed and the clip's ammo will become equal to the remaining fusion cores in ones inventory, then decrease by 1 when you fire the Aeternus again.
Bit 'o trivia: "Clips" are the metal links in a disintegrating ammunition belt. Such as those used on miniguns and Ma'duce. "Magazines" are the reusable containers you load bullets into, then insert into a weapon.
Sean H no in the base game you cant get never ending effect on a gatling lazer they know it was a bug and choose to make it in the game as a raward for buying the dlc
Sean H limitless potential laser rifle with automatic reciever and scattershot creates a stupid overpowered shotgun with more recoil then you can compensate for without specifically modded armor.
Ed The Pine This is correct but with Fusion Cores as ammo type, it changes. Shots/ammo ratio aren't 1:1 like almost every other gun. So if you don't have to reload a core ever again, you can keep shooting it forever using the same core. It was initially an oversight on Bugthesda's part that turned in our favor later on. Instead of fixing that bug so Never Ending Gatling Lasers could drop randomly, they just kept it as is, made a unique variant, and made sure it was hidden behind a paywall, arduous side quests, and high level requirement to even work your way to the prize. I actually liked how it was presented
My issue with the third rank of nuclear physist is the grande issue, half the time i hit z thinking i have a grande equiped and endup throwing out a useful fusion core by accident
When you use your power armour, the game uses the fusion cores with the least amount of charge first, so because those 4 fusion cores claim they have a charge of 0, when the power armour 'use' them first. When you go up to your power armour, if you have a FC on you, you will put in into the power armour, if it doesn't already have one, the power armour never checks if a fusion core is empty because if it is empty it leaves you inventory, so you would not normally be able to put an empty FC into the power armour anyway. When a fusion core becomes empty, the FC itself sends a bit of code saying 'i am empty' and then the power armour ejects it, the only reason the jet pack effects this is because the jet pack draws more energy then normal, so the jet pack itself has to check the amount of energy in the FC to see if it is enough to take off, because of this it immediately uses up those four FC after realising they have a charge of 0. It is the job of the gun/ power armour to remove the fusion cores from your inventory, the fusion core doesn't remove itself. This is why the power armour doesn't remove the FC until you use the jet pack, because the FC is already empty, it doesn't give the power armour the peace of code saying 'i am empty', because it should have already been taken out of your inventory by the thing that had emptied it. This is why it works non stop with those FCs, since the power armour's only interaction with the FC is to draw a certain amount of energy from the FC, and to eject it and remove it from the players inventory when the FC says it is empty. Because it never gets the message from the FC saying it is empty, it just continually uses energy, never realising it is empty and ment to be ejected. I have no idea why the gun depletes them and still leaves them in your Inventory tho. That is the bug, if the gun took out the empty fusion cores from you inventory then the power armour would work fine, due to it theoretically never needing to check if the fusion core is empty, since there should never be a time where the player has access to a completely depleted FC. The fact that the gun doesn't take out the fusion cores from your inventory, suggests that it was ment to not use any ammo, because then it would never need to take out an empty fusion core. So the bug probably is something to do with the amount of ammo it uses. Probably be able to fix this by altering a single variable, if it was a complicated mistake, it would not have made it threw debugging. The reason that the FC meter on the power armour is right is because it does check the level of charge of the FCs. It just doesn't have any effect on the attual power armour or the FC. Sorry if this is a shit explanation, didn't know how to right it any better. Also correct me if i got anything wrong.
So u say that the fucking power armor with aternus holds the 100 years a fusion core was intended to take to deplete. So my Power Armour now has infinite charge?
i noticed when running around in PA with this gun if your armor core depleats, you have to unequip reequip to get gun to keep firing as when the PA core gives out you spare core count on the gun drops to 000
"Amoral Combat" becomes available upon completion of "The Grand Tour", not establishing outposts in the Commonwealth, so its IS possible to get this weapon without fully commiting to the Raiders. You just gotta claim the various parks for them. After getting your hands on Aeternus, you can just turn on them from that point. As for farming the quest, I've found the best way to consistently trigger "Amoral Combat" is this: 1. After doing it the first time, exit Cola Cars and immediately turn left. 2. Climb the wooden stairs and run across the fenced off part of the Gauntlet (where the raiders took potshots at you). Make your way through the parking building and step out into the area outside Nuka-Town's walls. 3. Take another left. You'll see a tree with ropes/cables leading down into the ground, and a Cappy statue on a small ledge a ways past it. 4. Run past the rope, circle around the statue and make your way back toward the opening leading back to the parking building. Do a couple of laps between the opening and the Cappy statue and the quest should trigger fairly quickly, even if you just killed the last wastelander a few minutes prior. Rinse and repeat until you can square off against the Rogue Knight and claim Aeternus.
Im not sure why Oxhorn but these early Fallout 4 videos sound different, probably microphone or something but definitely have a different feel to them. Feels like yesterday watching these
Gatling Lasers are buggy as hell to begin with. Aeternus just highlights existing failures. So the way the "Never Ending" (Unlimited Ammo Capacity) Legendary Mod is supposed to work, the weapon has no maximum magazine size and feeds directly from your inventory. Gatling Lasers, because they use an unconventional ammo relationship, could then theoretically become glitched into infinite ammo. Unfortunately it does not actually work like this. Because the magazine for a Gatling Laser is actually a script independent of your inventory, using a Never Ending Gatling Laser causes unreliable consumption of fusion cores. Generally each time you equip the weapon, it will consume one fusion core to start firing. If you only have one, this reduces your inventory count to zero which then stops the weapon from functioning (but also burns out the core). It is unknown when or if Bethesda will fix this, and no modders to my knowledge have come up with a fix for it yet. I am aware of one workaround, changing the ammo type to fusion cells instead of cores and eliminating the fancy magazine script from the weapon but this causes other issues. Gatling Lasers on their own are actually the most cost effective weapon regarding ammunition. 600 rounds per Fusion Core, where each Fusion Core costs between 300 and 500 depending on your relationship with the vendor and your level of Charisma/barter bonuses. The net cost is always slightly better than one shot per cap, maxing out at about two shots per cap, which gives you a better cost effectiveness than even .38 ammo. If you have at least one or two decent water farms, you can afford as many fusion cores as you could possibly need. The perks that reduce fusion core depletion also affect Gatling Lasers in that a core ejected from the Gatling Laser will have a percentage of its charge left based on your bonus to fusion core depletion from perks, further increasing their ammo efficiency. The final rank of Scrounger also affects Gatling Lasers, placing a fully charged fusion core into your inventory when it procs. Honestly, your Two Shot Gatling Laser is a better bet overall, as it will have a higher damage output and be less buggy. When/if this is fixed, then Aeternus becomes the do-all-end-all weapon it seems intended as.
Sounds like an interesting weapon, but the best bang for your buck is definitely the laser musket. However, for an auto weapon, I must recommend the explosive mini gun. That thing is just a firehose of death.
The funny thing about Aeternius is that the ammo changes to how many fusion cores you have on you (for example; you have 70 fresh fusion cores but the magazine in Aeternius is 69, for all intents and purposes the fusion core drains to match the amount of fusion you have). To prevent the fusion core from being drained, you have to A) not wear power armour or B) carry 750 or less depending on a specific perk fusion cores at once.
Love this gun. Had to figure out how to use it before I saw this video. I usually give my companion my full fusion cores and carry two empty ones for the laser.
I've had it happen after the raiders are dead it seems you just don't want to kill fritsch but raiders do come to watch you fight so you'll have a bunch of enemies immediately after your fight
The trick to farm aeternus was very helpful and I love it. I don't like having the charging barrels on it because I like the rate of fire on the regular one. I didn't get it nearly fully upgraded it was a normal Gatling laser.
The reason its infinite is because a fusion core isnt ammunition, its a charge. So wereas with a pistol, you have a set numerical value of ammunition, with a fusion core you have a charge. You never have to reload the fusion core, ergo it has infinite charge. I believe the reason why it fully depletes the charge but continues to fire is because when you when you go over the integer limit, it will set it back down to it lowest number. so If the limit is 100, and you set it to 101, it will be 0. Maybe im just spitting bullshit, but thats the only explanation i can come up with.
Well based on the usual behavior of the legendary modification it has its supposed to just have an unlimited magazine. like a wazer wifle. it should just make it so you don't have to reload.
***** then it might be a glitch aswell. Might wanna be prepared for disappointment when a patch rolls around. in the mean time its usually around 500 shots per fusion core right? Do you get these quest after the good ending or just if you side with the raiders?
It is bugged, you get the exact same result if you find a Never Ending Gatling Laser off a Legendary enemy from what I've been told. And Hex, The Amoral Combat is available from the moment you become Overboss, It's mostly RNG, but there's suppose to be a way to ensure a proc of the quest.
Never Ending, like Explosive, won't spawn on Gats, which is why Aeternus is unique (much like the two "Furious" AKs are, since Furious only naturally spawned on melee weapons). If it spawns on them naturally now, it is a change from the DLC to the vanilla game - but I've not had it happen yet.
If you DONT understand basically what’s happening is the never ending effect only works on normal ammo and since fusion cores aren’t classified as normal ammo which is why it never kills the fusion core
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FALLOUT 4 PLAYERS (PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT SO PEOPLE WILL SEE IT) I literally just tried Oxhorn's method of triggering this quest on PS4 after watching this video, and encountered a DANGEROUS bug where you can accept the opportunity to fight in the arena multiple times when talking to the guy in Nuka Cade. If you do so, this will in turn cause multiple enemies to be waiting on the other side of the opposite door when the fight starts, The PROBLEM is the game bugs out and only one of the enemies takes damage from your attacks. All the others will be COMPLETELY INVINCIBLE to attacks from both your character and NPC's. In my game, I was able to kill the one enemy in the arena that WASN'T invincible, and exit the arena after the doors opened. However, the invincible enemies were PERMANENTLY trapped in the arena fighting the Nuka World raiders that usually spawn inside when you tell to the Nuka Cade guy you wanna fight in the arena. If your playing on PS4 and use Oxhorn's method of farming Amoral Combat, It's IMPORTANT you save before accepting the quest from. Nuka Cade guy.
I'm a bit late to the comment party here, but the Never Ending legendary effect is supposed to make it so you never have to reload. Usually, weapons with it will still consume ammo, but it's treated as having an infinite magazine capacity. I never did try the effect on a Gatling Laser, but I suspect I'd run into the same issue without any sort of patch. This is likely because Gatling Lasers don't use ammo in the normal way and each fusion core counts for a certain number of shots. Most other guns are one ammo for one shot.
from the wiki Aeternus is a unique Gatling laser that bears the "Never Ending" legendary effect. Although it uses the "Never Ending" effect, its actual effect gives the weapon true unlimited ammo. It will use a portion of a fusion core when first fired, but the core's charge will not decrease again while using Aeternus.
i think this is a glitch cuz i have a never-ending legendary effect on my double barrel shotgun BUT,it still takes up shotgun shells...the only thing different is that i dont need to reload it
I'm pretty certain the never ending mod means that your ammo capacity is infinite which means you can fire all of your ammo without reloading, not that your shots do not cost ammo.
+Bender Rodriguez you are correct. But the effect is glitched for gatling lazers. That's why you can't get a never ending one normally. They added aeturnus as a unique item because the effect is glitched.
I had a glitch for a while when I picked up the "limitless potential" laser rifle where it actually did have unlimited ammo and didn't consume at all. It bugged so "bad" that it transferred over to all of my other laser weapons and even my gatling laser stopped consuming power cores. It was sweet until one day it just randomly quit bugging and started using ammo again.
aeturnus- ah-tuh-nis silent R. yes that is the CORRECT way to say it. its the name of a young medievil knight that betrayed his country in the middle of a war, because he met his mother who was an older/aged nurse for the enemy. he gained the name aeturnus when he became a traitor. my family descended from his blood line, and he was the one i studied the most on for my family tree project back in elementary. we had to fill 8 big papers with the branching. and that means from me to my mom [no dad, because adopted at birth, etc, and nothing more known on my blood family other than mother and grandmother...not much to go on from there] so...me to my mom to my grandparents, to THEIR parents to THEIR parents rinse and repeat. when i hit that era i was at two papers aside each other at the top, so i had aeturnus' mother [and un-named father who was a tailor. thats all on him] and he interested me the most. is that the reason for this weapons name? possible...since i've seen a computer in an older game mentioning a BOS traitor who stole a prototype laser weapon. [gatling laser?] and it was never recovered. well thats all i can say on this, take this info as you will, but its what i think, since it matches with other tid bits from the series :P
I gave Aeternus to Curie. When companions use it, it does consume fusion core but the cores will not drop below 1/100. They must have multiple cores in their inventory as a single core will expend itself just like in your video.
I never had the issue of fusion core rarity, i personally think them as well as power armor is tooo easy and prevalent throughout the wastes, the game has become a joke easy to beat even n survival mode because power armor is everywhere, ive found hidden armor all over the place, stolen raider armor, and people selling or holding fusion cores, and generators with them abudant, ve had over 100 fusion cores and nuka world is worse as they have them everywhere, ive gotten a stack of 5 or more off a few enemies and then bought more from merchants
Blizzard Soldier the shits tooo easy, atm i have over eighty fusion cores and 20 power armours in my settlement i have six parked and ready so my defending settlers will get in them when were attacked. but ya the game is a joke lol
TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA when i finished up my first play through to do one with mods i think i had over 200 cores. and shit tones of power armors scattered between my settlements
Very interesting. I got aternus. But the amoral combat quest came so easily for me. All i had to do was leave nuka world through the pip-boy map. Came back and EVERY SINGLE TIME i walked through the gates i heard the raider chatter about the alarm and so began the quest amoral combat. I must have done this quest about 30 times it was crazy. But very entertaining none the less. HOPE THIS HELPS ANY OF MY FELLOW FALLOUT FREAKS.
At 5:00, that is completely intentional. Your cores are still at 0 charge. Using your jet pack ate through your power, so the game put a fresh core into your suit. But that core was already depleted from the weapon. So it replaced it with another, already depleted core. One big issue with the power Armor hud is it doesn’t tell you how much power is in the spare cores, just the number. That is what happened. You loaded 4 empty cores at once.
I actually found out that it drains your fusion cores to like 8 power, and then it switches to the next fusion core and starts to drain that one. It's also fun because you can get the barrel to shoot more high damage shots but slower, and if you go into 3rd person and repeatedly zoom in and out really quickly makes it shoot way faster with way more damage
At 5:00 in, your Fusion Cores disappear because the Fusion Core in your Power Armor ran out.... If you notice, your Fusion Cores come back after it replaces the used Fusion Core in your Power Armor. It has nothing to do with your jet pack, but it did probably bug, and stop showing your Fusion Cores due to the gun, and how it works. But your Fusion Cores were always there, they just stopped showing for a few seconds due to lag while it was replacing the one for your Power Armor. And the gun does have unlimited ammo for me, and I have never had any problems with it.
Before I got the Gatling gun I was level 98 and using a explosive shotgun (very op), it was the only thing that could do damage to high level enemies until I got the galling gun. Sooooo glad that I got it.
Oxhorn. Idk if someone already mentioned but at 5:04 when the fusion cores came out when you used the jetpack. Maybe you hit the grenade button by accident with the nuclear physicist perk fully leveled will drop a fusion core like a grenade
I never had problems with Gatling Lazer + Power Armor. I used Nuclear Physicist and I had ranks in Scrounger. I don't know if it's because of the latter perk, but I would regularly at higher levels come across stacks of fusion cores in containers. It was only in the beginning that I somewhat had to worry about fusion cores, but I could buy any extras I needed from vendors.
if you reload before you fire your last shot with a gatling laser you can sell the used core for full price. also i personally never had a problem running out of fusion cores when using power armor / gatling laser. i switched about 3/4th of the way through my main character and i have over 2/3rds of the fusion cores i started with, and i have never bought any ammo with that character (including fusion cores).
Im pretty sure at 5:24 since the Aeternus (however you say it) has unlimited ammo,when it fires it will use ammo until there's no more charge in the fusion core,but keeps shooting which is why the fusion core in your jetpack instantly dissapeared(btw if he explains it after 5:24 then I haven't got there yet)
The best way to do the Open Season quest is to wear the Quantum X-01 Power Armor with Aeternus against the Raiders so that it's like Nuka-World itself is killing off the invaders.
Oxhorn when it showed 4 ammo left, it's vaguely trying to display that you started with 5, it consumed 1 fusion core to start the weapon, and tries to redisplay that you now have 4. With this weapon, you must have at least 2 to get it to register. The game files think you have 4 left by "using" a core, but you still had your 5. This gun just requires you to HAVE fusion cores to make it function properly. Bugged Weapon, but easily containable. As a side note, when I have used this gun, it occasionally DOES consume a core from my inventory and not when I actually fire the weapon. This only happens when I actually take it out or swapped it from a different weapon. I believe it's a bug from swapping to a different weapon, fast travelling, and going back to Aeternus at your new destination. I cannot confirm this other than from my own experiences. To be safe I always stockpile of cores, and when one DOES get consumed, I still have plenty more.
there are a few weapons with the effect on them in base game, like the Limitless Laser Rifle. The way the Unlimited perk usually works is that it makes it so you can have all ammo loaded into the gun. It's a little buggy already, you basically reload an amount depending on how long you have the weapon equipped. The ammo isn't technically unlimited, just the clip size. The issues with this are probably happening because fusion cores work weirdly as ammo by themselves already, so having a gun that uses them with an effect that is sort of buggy already just confuses the hell out of the game.
The "Never Ending" mod only removes the need to reload the weapon it is applied to. The weapon will chamber ammo directly from the player's inventory, bypassing the clip/magazine and the reload animation. Normal ammo is binary in its usage (it is stored or shot), so the process is seamless. Fusion Cores have a charge (on a percentage gradient), making them more tricky to use with this mod. Aeternus is using FC charges at the normal rate (after applying the skill bonuses) ; the ammo counter becomes awkward due to the fluid nature of FC's charge. You have the proper mod installed to verify this : make a Never Ending .38, and observe the clip/ammo counter ; you will spend ammo (counter maxes out @ 999 rounds).
The only difference is that, on this gatling laser, the Never Ending effect seems to give the gun true unlimited ammo. I never ran out of fusion cores and I fired straight for 10 minutes.
I know with other "never ending" weapons, it changes the weapon still uses ammo, but you never need to reload. My hypothesis: the glitches are related to the fact the Aeternus (like all gatling lasers) use fusion cores which have more than 1 shot within them as opposed to other ammo types. I also suspect the fact you have power armor equipped simultaneously complicates the matter. I think the best way to test these hypotheses would be to utilize the weapon without power armor and only 2 fresh cores in your inventory. If it works like the other "never ending" weapons, you should be able to hold down the trigger and fire 2 cores worth of shots before running dry. If it indeed is infinite ammo, it should run dry after emptying both cores. Regarding your comment about core rarity: If you have all levels in scrounger maxed out, you can find Fusion cores in random containers since it's classified as ammo. At this point, one of my characters has more fusion cores than they know what to do with. Over 160.
The issue is that the Neverending legendary effect does not give truly unlimited ammo. Rather, it allows you to use your ENTIRE ammo pool as your magazine. This is why a Double Barrel Shotgun with this effect is near godly, allowing it to take full advantage of it’s high damage output and high fire rate, WITHOUT RELOADING, but you will eventually run out of ammo, as the effect still draws ammo from your INVENTORY instead of a magazine. The issue with your Jetpack, is that while testing the Aeturnus, you consumed the charge of nearly all of your Fusion Cores, and the jetpack consumed the final charge, and your Power Armor frantically cycled through all of the empty cores in your inventory, until you added more, fully charged cores with scripts.
I think all the weird bugs are because this legendary effect would better be described as "unlimited clip size". I had it on a plasma rifle, with this effect, supposing you acquired no more ammo, you would have no reason to reload. I think that due to the nature of fusion cores as a "multiple for one" ammo type that the math to get them to never need to reload is probably causing glitches. I think it only appears that you never expend ammunition, but that infact you do. It appears that upon loading/reloading the gun all fusion cores are equipped into it, but are left in inventory as a stack with 0 charge, excepting the one currently being drawn from, this one show your current progress through a typical clip. I think this explains your strange power depletion event with the power armor jet-pack. That all your fusion cores are loaded into your Aeternus, including the one currently equipped by the power armor, and as soon as you try to draw from the cores your inventory updates, grabs a fusion core with zero charge, and then immediately depletes it. Supposing you wished to utilize this weapon with a power armor I would recommend exiting power armor, dropping all but a few cores, equipping and loading the Aeternus, then entering your power armor, then collecting all the extra fusion cores.
What happened with the fusion cores expanding instantly when you pulsed the jet back is... The fusion core used on your power armor expired as you took off Then instead of replacing the fusion core the game used the number of fusion cores as the "charge" on the current fusion core
So basically what I think is that Aeturnus needs two fusion cores for the ammo to register. (Confusing I know) The core needs to be put into Aeturnus to have something to shoot. But for some reason it needs another core to make it unlimited. When 600 turns to 4. The 4 represents 4 cores. It's not never consuming as it still consumes the fusion core, however you can just shoot forever. I'm assuming it's like the laser rifle Shaun gives you. "Wazer wifle"
You should use the standard barrel. Not only does it sound beast, but it has a higher dps and isn't much harder to control (especially since you're using mouse and keyboard).
I found myself a never ending double barrel shotgun. The way it worked was that instead of having an ammo reserve, all shotgun shells were ready to fire, meaning that I had no reload, and I assume that that’s how it works for all weapons, but because of how Gatling lasers work with two different ammo types from loaded to on hand it probably messes with this affect.
Even without this gun gatling lasers are VERY ammo efficient. You find cores everywhere and if you need to you can buy more. 500 shots for like 300 caps or so depending on you char is super cheap.
This quest is by far the buggiest most frustrating quest around. I had so many issues getting the quest to trigger then it would crash constantly. I finally managed to get to through every fight but it was to the point that I completely destroyed the gauntlet so I had to resort to using my jet pack to get across the first wooden floor.

The gun is obviously using one fusion core all at once to open a quantum wormhole to another plan of existence, where it harvests an unlimited energy source called magica. It then uses this magica to fuel its normal operations of emitting burning beams of light in the direction indicated by the orientation of the weapon's barrel. It needs further fusion cores loaded, because of a hardwired safety feature in the original weapon, that won't let the gun try to fire without a fusion core inserted, which the original modifier of the weapon never took out, because they were lazy, and it worked well enough.

I use a mod that creates a Gatling Laser ammo type. You create gatling laser ammo at the lab station where 1 Fusion Core = 500 ammo. This allows this weapon to work properly, similar to all the other legendary weapons with the Never-Ending prefix, consuming ammo until you are out without reloading. Never-Ending just means you never have to reload.
Indeed, that is why these bugs are occurring... fusion cores are not proper ammo.
Where other ammo types are a straight 1 ammo for 1 shot, cores are 1 ammo for 600 shots. This is likely going to cause all sorts of problems when interacting with code designed to pull 'shots' straight from inventory. It is going to try and interact with the core as if it was a 1 ammo for 1 shot, which even explains some of the strange results Oxhorn got where it consumed a whole core after 1 shot.
I think we should be amazed that someone attempted to fix this problem, even if it did mean more complicated code that clearly has a few bugs still.
Personally like the solution of adding an ammo type, but then I am very much against the idea of fusion cores in the first place. If I could make a mod; Make power Armour and Gatling run off fusion cells, turn all but one core into depleted cores that trickle power to a settlement at best, those two functioning cores are designed to run any cell based technology indefinitely. Sure, a high end character would have Power Armour or energy weapon that never needs recharging but that same character is likely swimming in Cores by that point in the game anyway....
Additionally, you could make it so that core runs a power plant with the ability to export indefinite power to all settlements in the commonwealth. It might even require laying power lines between settlements like we do with supply lines already. Costs resources to build such a line and can come under attack by raiders looking to cause trouble, so another level of management you have to worry about.

No Id Pls tell me what the mod is called and Pls tell me its also for ps4 cause this... system of fusion cores is just... terrible to have

Ramon Cantos Thanks for searching, i think i Will find something now. I cant believe you actually searched modus for me, Thanks for that
The never ending effect is supposed to let you load all of your ammo at once, meaning you never have to reload, but because of how the Gatling laser ammo works with the fusion core it acts really weirdly.
I'm kinda sad you can't put a beam splitter modification on the Gatling laser. I mean, who doesn't want a fully automatic laser shotgun with infinite ammo?

Question: in Fallout Lore, shouldn't a Fusion Core power a Power Armour for about 100 years?
From Fallout 1, you can wear Power Armour with no training at all, and you can equip it alone 'on the spot'. Though it is not powered or, at leas, you do not need to replace power sources.
I was wondering if Power Cores shouldn't be rarer, but just 'eternal'. After all, this should be the original lore, I guess.
TeaInTheMorning4929 in Fallout 1 and 2 you could get PA at the start of the game, so no training or else needed
Training was never really needed and while lore does state it took multipe people to put on a suit I assume they just dropped that part in FO3, FNV and FO4 (especially since FO3 and FO4 barely respect the franchises lore anyway) in order to make using them more convenient for the player.
Bethesda is however doing their best to turn Power Armors into the most marginal thing ever. In FO3 you saw your first suit of PA way earlier than you should have and you got it not too long after that and in FO4 you're basically handed the first one within your first hour of playing. I assume they added the power limitation (which completely breaks lore in regards to the cores) in order to balance the fact that you get your PA so early on.
Meanwhile the real FO gaves (meaning the ones made by Black isle and the former Black isle people at Obsidian) don't even ask for a power core because it is borderline impossible for it to run out on you no matter how much you use it. You could hop into a Power Armor as a kid, start running and then continue to run until you die of old age and the core would not only outlast you, it would likely have enough power for someone else to do the exact same thing again. Black isle/Obsidian balanced this by making PA as rare as they are supposed to be by lore. If you want PS you'll either be attacking the Brotherhood, the Enclave (or whatever is left of them) or you can consider yourself one of the luckiest people alive if you just "randomly stumble upon one".
Ledge Buoy fo3 and fo4 don't respect the law? who the fuck cares at least they're fun games. plus Bethesda are the ones who actually made fallout popular anyway.
+tom 95
Quite a few people care about the lore. Especially considering you are on a channel discussing the story of certain areas and people which is often based on the games lore. As for FO1 and FO2 not being popular, that's a pretty ridiculous notion to be honest. You might simply not have been born when the games came out, but that doesn't mean that they were not considered gems that everyone who called themselves a gamer had to have played in their time.
Bethesda bought the rights to the franchise precisely BECAUSE the Fallout franchise did so well already. People back then (and by back then I don't mean ancient rome but the early 2000s) were extremely pissed that after Interplay screwed over Black isle Studios (and forced them to cancel development on their own version of Fallout 3) they then sold the rights to Bethesda and Bethesda just sat on it for a while doing absolutely nothing until they released a game that was set in the FO world but set in one of the 2 areas that were stated by lore to no longer house ANY life, because they thought "Uhm, president and stuff? Washington's gotta be important, right?" when the previous games clearly stated that the president left Washington years before the war started because he knew it would be bombed to shit and then Washington and NY were in fact bombed to shit and hit by 90% of the nuclear bombs that hit the entirety of america turning that area into a giant crater with radioactive storms that would STILL kill any human that tried to walk there.
The Gatling Laser fusion core use is buggy at the best of times, often inserting new cores automatically. Probably the dichotomy between the cores and the shot allowance is what is causing the Neverending enchantment to glitch.
With all other weapons with Neverending (Prototype UP77 "Limitless Potential" at University Point) it fires rounds straight from your inventory without the need to reload, effectively giving you an unlimited magazine, but not infinite ammo.
On that note: Neverending missile launcher is the ultimate weapon.
That and the explosive minigun 💀
Nope Neverending Fatman
At a glance, when showing the jet pack glitch, it looks as though you were still using the 5 cores you had stacked together. If that is correct, then the fact that the 4 were showing zero charge might explain why they cycled through very quickly only giving you a small amount of boost from the jet pack. This would be related to the question surrounding why they were registering zero in the first place upon using the Gatling laser. I'd love to look at this code. I suspect it's an easy fix. Finding it will be the problem.
I got that glitch a month ago. It is a mod glitch that doeant have to have anythinv to do with PA or FC. Just walking will drain them. It sucks. Ran through 50 FC before i realized what was happening
From Fallour wiki:
"If the user has one or two fusion cores in the inventory, Aeternus will fire off 1 or 2 rounds before fully depleting the cores. If one has at least three fusion cores, the fresh loaded weapon will use a seemingly random portion of one fusion core before reaching "unlimited ammunition." This is valid up until one loads a new fusion core either by equipping another weapon, modifying the Aeternus in a weapons workbench, or increasing the amount of fusion cores in ones inventory."
My god, it bugs me so much more than it should that you aren't using the rapid fire version
ikr, i'd just use an automatic, or just click a bunch with a laser rifle. Much cheaper, same result.
Ben Bickler is it just me or this it lag a lot when you use the rapid fire version cause mine does that's why I use the slower version

after you kill all the raiders and completed open season quest yes you still can do Amoral Combat quest, but its alot harder to get so if you killed all the raiders but want this weapon you still can it will just take some time.
also, if you had a problem where you killed the rogue knight and he doesn't have the aternus on his body just look around, he has a randomly generated legendary thing but to get the aternus look on the ground its not in his body
if you do it after open season it will be raiders there, they wont be hostile until after you kill the challenger, you can also pick pocket the raiders(before or after open season) and if you get caught nothing happens
amoral combat stopped generating for me after i killed all the raiders and the last enemy i fought was a super mutant named "rage" i have an xb1 and i am at level 88
Fusion cores aren't rare if you buy them. And they are relativity cheap if your using them as ammo.
I ran the calculation and even at 1 charisma when fusion cores cost 670 caps, you'll still be spending a mere 1.34 caps per shot, a huge contrast to any laser rifle which would cost 3.6 caps per shot with 16 charisma or 10.05 caps per shot with 1.
and 1.34 is the most expensive the Gatling laser will go. Not to mention the fact that you can reduce ammo consumption greatly with charging barrels, increase shot yield by up to 1100 with nuclear physicist and the repair bobble head near Lexington.
With all of this combined the cheapest ammo will get is 0.218 caps per shot.
Although to be fair it is still a gun best suited for a heavy/power armor build with good intelligence due to the fact that most mods are blocked behind a Science! level 4 requirements.
The vanilla game caps its ammo limit at 500 shots and what actually happens with nuclear physicist is that you have 54% charge left which is about 22-24 minutes of power armour usage but without power attacks, jetpacks, vats... However, it is still just SLIGHTLY above a default core without skills. So... ye, 500 shots each dealing above 120 damage AND around default charge left? 2efficient7mei.
Also, especially with charging barrels, you can reload when you get low and sell those low cores back to a merchant for the full price. So, I think it's base price is 200 meaning 240 is buy price and 160 is sell price with max pricing. 80caps for 500 pretty beefy shots.
Regular laser ammo drops so frequently (especially once you start meeting Synths) that you have to try and waste it all to ever run low.
It costs 400 000 caps to fire this weapon for 12 seconds
What if you bought 20 Fusion Cores and then Duplicated it to 65,535?.. and then you kept duplicating 65,535 every 30 IRL Minutes until you reach 1 Million Fusion Cores???
On a side note, i wish we were able to do some crowd working in the Amorral Combat quests like Colter does before he fights us.
The Gatling Laser on its own is buggy enough. When you switch weapons, it always ejects the current fusion core and starts on a new one, eventually creating a massive and annoying list of partially used fusion cores. Applying that legendary effect was a horrible idea, making something that's already buggy an absolute glitch fest. I wish someone would make a mod that makes the Gatling Laser load ammo like the Junk Jet.
Caaros, The King of Chaos why that bug wasn fixed is BEYOND me it annoyed the hell out of me
There's a mod that converts's the Fusion Core Ammo type to Gatling Laser Core's, essentially skipping the entire spent fusion core issue. You can convert 1 core to 500 gatling laser core rounds at a chemistry station, and it works with all existing and future gatling laser drops. Super simple, simple small, such a huge change.
Good idea but poor implementation.. and they didn't bother to fix the bug, has any mod fix this yet?
Has this bug been fixed?
@@thegreywaren I think it finally has. The Aeternus works fine for me and seems to always use the same fusion core, as only one has been consumed so far despite me changing weapons quite often. Weirdly enough it's at 89/100, so I have no idea how it actually functions. Maybe it spends 1% of the charge each time you draw the gun? Well, it's still an awesome and OP weapon.
Aeturnus is, I think, related to Eternal so it's probably closer to being pronounced like that.
As far as the Never Ending effect goes, if you happen to find it on a smaller gun like a pistol or a rifle what happens is that you can load your entire inventory of ammo into the weapon, that means it's "unlimited" because that's how much you can carry(if you don't mind moving slowly). On an automatic weapon this effectively means you can keep firing a never ending stream.
Not sure how this effects the Aeternus though.
Considering this comment is pretty late I wonder if you have a better idea of whats happening.
I think the intent of the Neverending Legendary Effect (since I've seen it on a few others) is that you just don't have to reload and it just pulls ammo straight from your inventory. I expect that the effect just bugs out because of how the weapon effect, fusion cores and, possibly, the Nuclear Physicist perk interact
You had asked for info experience about getting this. I fortunately didn't have any problems as reported by several players. The arena showdowns started with the first one after I came back from doing a radiant quest for a tribe. I would go do another tribe radiant quest, return, and was informed another fly was coming through the Gauntlet's web. This happened every time until I was able to get the Aeternus. So, basically I did five radiant tribe quests and immediately did the arena battles. Sounds like I lucked out and the game performed correctly. This was a great video about the gun and how it effects power cores. Please keep up the awesome work!!

Umm ox... Charging barrels with aeternus? (or however you spell it) charging barrels is for sniper-ish builds or for saving ammo. Saving ammo with unlimited ammo?
Daniel Driscoll it does more damage though and with perks up to 163 ish damage
No it doesn't. The standard barrels have 6 times the fire rate making them WAY more destructive. Daniel is completely on point.
The regular barrels are also better in the situation where you find an explosive one, much like the regular minigun
True, however why would you use a heavy weapon long range? It doesn't even have a scope
you cannot get an explosive gatling laser, no laser can be explosive.. and in terms of RAW dps standard is better but not the most practical or effective in every situation.. Charging barrels are the most efficient source of ammo in the game, each shot can deal up to 160/170 damage with the right perks, on armoured targets this is MUCH more efficient than using standard barrels, even on enemies like feral ghouls with pretty much no armour or damage resistance the charging barrels work just as good as the standard, 2-3 shots on most will kill unless it’s glowing ones or legendaries.. and if you really care about a pointlessly high fire rate then crouch in third person with charging barrels and voila you have a overpowered monstrosity
The reason 600 became 4 is because it shows the amount of fusion cores you have - 1 which is why it uses the full core if you have only 1
Well Ox, this gatling laser is what we in the business call "A Bethesda Moment.". Your best bet is to avoid it like the plague.
@Oxhorn. I never had an issue with fusion cores, when I started the game I had a fully speced out intelligence and the first perk I picked when leveling up was Science! and that allowed me to go into sanctuary and build the biggest water purifiers, I then farmed for resources and traded them for all the necessary components to build a ton of these things along with a ton of generators with the 10 power rating. With this I am producing 600 purified waters per day. And I just go to diamond city with as much as I can cary and still fast travel and trade them for fusion cores, armor, weapons, anything I need. So I have a nearly limitless supply of fusion cores.
As a general rule, Latin words with "AE" in them, are either phonetically pronounced as "ee" or as "eye". So it would be named either "Eternus", or sound as if it's called 'Eye'ternus. I think in this case, it would be safe to assume it's pronounced "Eternus".
5:15 I think what happened is you used the jetpack just as soon as the fusion core ran out, then it saw all the other fusion cores as one unit of ONE fusion core. That's my assumption.
The weirdness regarding the fusion cores getting depleted works as follows:
When you equip Aeternus, it plugs a fresh (i.e. 100 / 100) core into the gun. This will display in the ammo display as 500/n, where n is the total number of fusion cores in your inventory. The level of charge in each of those fusion cores is not relevant in calculating n. As soon as you take your first shot, the display will be brought to n-1/n. If you check your inventory, the previously fresh core will be at .2(n-1) / 100. It will remain at that level for as long as Aeternus remains equipped. The core gets instantly "burned" down to that level, but never any further. If you unequip Aeternus and reequip it later, this will occur again, and another fresh core will get burned. Thus, the closer you are to having 500 cores in your inventory, the less your cores will get burned when you unequip and reequip Aeternus.
While this does mean that Aeternus does (annoyingly) deplete your overall access to fusion power over time, particularly if you swap weapons frequently, the thing to bear in mind is that sustained fire from a Gatling Laser will normally deplete a core in just under twenty seconds. Partially depleting a single core whenever you unequip Aeternus is _far_ less of a strain on your resources over the long term.
I am uncertain as to what occurs if you have more than 500 cores, or if you have the Nuclear Physicist perk (which effectively increases the magazine size of Gatling Lasers), as I have not tested those conditions. I suspect that in the former case, the result would be that your cores don't get burned at all. I suspect in the latter that your cores would become _more_ burned, as the core would be set to (n-1)/(5*1.25) / 100, (n-1)/(5*1.5) / 100, or (n-1)/(5*2) / 100 at rank 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
Thanks, I heard that this weapon is extremely bugged and if not handle correctly it can completely fuck up your fusion cores. However no other youtubers seems to mention it
Good thing the Unmodded Fallout 4 Game allows us to duplicate 65,535 Fusion Cores like every 30 Minutes then. 😅
I figured it out! And then I posted it on the wiki. When firing the Aeternus with a fresh fusion core, the shown ammo will always become 1 less than all the fusion cores ones inventory. The remaining charge of the active fusion core is not equivalent to this number. If the maximum number of fusion cores in ones inventory is 1, the ammunition in the clip will become 0, causing the fusion core to deplete and vanish. As such, the Aeternus is nearly completely useless if one has only 1 fusion core in their inventory. Additionally, if the amount of fusion cores in ones inventory increases while the Aeternus is out, the current fusion core will instantly be consumed and the clip's ammo will become equal to the remaining fusion cores in ones inventory, then decrease by 1 when you fire the Aeternus again.
Bit 'o trivia: "Clips" are the metal links in a disintegrating ammunition belt. Such as those used on miniguns and Ma'duce. "Magazines" are the reusable containers you load bullets into, then insert into a weapon.
Never Ending just means you don't have to reload. Ammo is still consumed until you're empty. Anything else a glitch.
Sean H no in the base game you cant get never ending effect on a gatling lazer they know it was a bug and choose to make it in the game as a raward for buying the dlc
Sean H finally someone wit brain
Sean H limitless potential laser rifle with automatic reciever and scattershot creates a stupid overpowered shotgun with more recoil then you can compensate for without specifically modded armor.
Never Ending means that it takes from the stockpile of the gun
Ed The Pine This is correct but with Fusion Cores as ammo type, it changes. Shots/ammo ratio aren't 1:1 like almost every other gun. So if you don't have to reload a core ever again, you can keep shooting it forever using the same core. It was initially an oversight on Bugthesda's part that turned in our favor later on. Instead of fixing that bug so Never Ending Gatling Lasers could drop randomly, they just kept it as is, made a unique variant, and made sure it was hidden behind a paywall, arduous side quests, and high level requirement to even work your way to the prize. I actually liked how it was presented
My issue with the third rank of nuclear physist is the grande issue, half the time i hit z thinking i have a grande equiped and endup throwing out a useful fusion core by accident
Bella D Copular Don't you mean grenade?
When you use your power armour, the game uses the fusion cores with the least amount of charge first, so because those 4 fusion cores claim they have a charge of 0, when the power armour 'use' them first. When you go up to your power armour, if you have a FC on you, you will put in into the power armour, if it doesn't already have one, the power armour never checks if a fusion core is empty because if it is empty it leaves you inventory, so you would not normally be able to put an empty FC into the power armour anyway. When a fusion core becomes empty, the FC itself sends a bit of code saying 'i am empty' and then the power armour ejects it, the only reason the jet pack effects this is because the jet pack draws more energy then normal, so the jet pack itself has to check the amount of energy in the FC to see if it is enough to take off, because of this it immediately uses up those four FC after realising they have a charge of 0.
It is the job of the gun/ power armour to remove the fusion cores from your inventory, the fusion core doesn't remove itself.
This is why the power armour doesn't remove the FC until you use the jet pack, because the FC is already empty, it doesn't give the power armour the peace of code saying 'i am empty', because it should have already been taken out of your inventory by the thing that had emptied it. This is why it works non stop with those FCs, since the power armour's only interaction with the FC is to draw a certain amount of energy from the FC, and to eject it and remove it from the players inventory when the FC says it is empty. Because it never gets the message from the FC saying it is empty, it just continually uses energy, never realising it is empty and ment to be ejected.
I have no idea why the gun depletes them and still leaves them in your Inventory tho. That is the bug, if the gun took out the empty fusion cores from you inventory then the power armour would work fine, due to it theoretically never needing to check if the fusion core is empty, since there should never be a time where the player has access to a completely depleted FC.
The fact that the gun doesn't take out the fusion cores from your inventory, suggests that it was ment to not use any ammo, because then it would never need to take out an empty fusion core. So the bug probably is something to do with the amount of ammo it uses. Probably be able to fix this by altering a single variable, if it was a complicated mistake, it would not have made it threw debugging.
The reason that the FC meter on the power armour is right is because it does check the level of charge of the FCs. It just doesn't have any effect on the attual power armour or the FC.
Sorry if this is a shit explanation, didn't know how to right it any better. Also correct me if i got anything wrong.
So u say that the fucking power armor with aternus holds the 100 years a fusion core was intended to take to deplete.
So my Power Armour now has infinite charge?
i noticed when running around in PA with this gun if your armor core depleats, you have to unequip reequip to get gun to keep firing as when the PA core gives out you spare core count on the gun drops to 000
i hadn't reached the 5min mark of your vid when i wrote my comment
That's all GLasers, not just the Aeternus.
really well that is one screwy bug cause Aeternus ate 3 of my 68 cores before i figured out what was going on
"Amoral Combat" becomes available upon completion of "The Grand Tour", not establishing outposts in the Commonwealth, so its IS possible to get this weapon without fully commiting to the Raiders. You just gotta claim the various parks for them. After getting your hands on Aeternus, you can just turn on them from that point.
As for farming the quest, I've found the best way to consistently trigger "Amoral Combat" is this:
1. After doing it the first time, exit Cola Cars and immediately turn left.
2. Climb the wooden stairs and run across the fenced off part of the Gauntlet (where the raiders took potshots at you). Make your way through the parking building and step out into the area outside Nuka-Town's walls.
3. Take another left. You'll see a tree with ropes/cables leading down into the ground, and a Cappy statue on a small ledge a ways past it.
4. Run past the rope, circle around the statue and make your way back toward the opening leading back to the parking building.
Do a couple of laps between the opening and the Cappy statue and the quest should trigger fairly quickly, even if you just killed the last wastelander a few minutes prior.
Rinse and repeat until you can square off against the Rogue Knight and claim Aeternus.
Cool, haven't heard about this weapon yet, thanks
Im not sure why Oxhorn but these early Fallout 4 videos sound different, probably microphone or something but definitely have a different feel to them. Feels like yesterday watching these
Gatling Lasers are buggy as hell to begin with. Aeternus just highlights existing failures.
So the way the "Never Ending" (Unlimited Ammo Capacity) Legendary Mod is supposed to work, the weapon has no maximum magazine size and feeds directly from your inventory. Gatling Lasers, because they use an unconventional ammo relationship, could then theoretically become glitched into infinite ammo. Unfortunately it does not actually work like this. Because the magazine for a Gatling Laser is actually a script independent of your inventory, using a Never Ending Gatling Laser causes unreliable consumption of fusion cores. Generally each time you equip the weapon, it will consume one fusion core to start firing. If you only have one, this reduces your inventory count to zero which then stops the weapon from functioning (but also burns out the core). It is unknown when or if Bethesda will fix this, and no modders to my knowledge have come up with a fix for it yet. I am aware of one workaround, changing the ammo type to fusion cells instead of cores and eliminating the fancy magazine script from the weapon but this causes other issues.
Gatling Lasers on their own are actually the most cost effective weapon regarding ammunition. 600 rounds per Fusion Core, where each Fusion Core costs between 300 and 500 depending on your relationship with the vendor and your level of Charisma/barter bonuses. The net cost is always slightly better than one shot per cap, maxing out at about two shots per cap, which gives you a better cost effectiveness than even .38 ammo. If you have at least one or two decent water farms, you can afford as many fusion cores as you could possibly need. The perks that reduce fusion core depletion also affect Gatling Lasers in that a core ejected from the Gatling Laser will have a percentage of its charge left based on your bonus to fusion core depletion from perks, further increasing their ammo efficiency. The final rank of Scrounger also affects Gatling Lasers, placing a fully charged fusion core into your inventory when it procs.
Honestly, your Two Shot Gatling Laser is a better bet overall, as it will have a higher damage output and be less buggy. When/if this is fixed, then Aeternus becomes the do-all-end-all weapon it seems intended as.
I think the "scrounger" perks give you a chance to find multiple fusion cores at once (or missiles, but doesn't happen with mini-nukes)
Lol the gunner Sargent said oof
Thanks for the great video, I had wondered how to get the legendary Gatling laser, now I know. Thanks, Oxhorn!
Back in 2015, when fo4 was realeased, I bought it and I haven't ever used one fusion core ever. I currently have 1,472 cores!
Eternal Expiditionist Realm with my much i can have 9999999999 fusion cores... In the first minute
DANIEL M. Yeah... console command power... as expected... i bet my lunch money on that one...
Sounds like an interesting weapon, but the best bang for your buck is definitely the laser musket. However, for an auto weapon, I must recommend the explosive mini gun. That thing is just a firehose of death.
well when you have 65,000 fusion cores like me, that's not a problem
zombiedropper 101 or unlimited
not with the mod for PA called no fusion core drain :)
Prince Original woosh
wtf 65000
Wow, you really know how to use the console commands.
The funny thing about Aeternius is that the ammo changes to how many fusion cores you have on you (for example; you have 70 fresh fusion cores but the magazine in Aeternius is 69, for all intents and purposes the fusion core drains to match the amount of fusion you have). To prevent the fusion core from being drained, you have to A) not wear power armour or B) carry 750 or less depending on a specific perk fusion cores at once.
What if you’re carrying 123,000 Fusion Cores at once??? 🤔
0:20
"I ate your noose"
Love this gun. Had to figure out how to use it before I saw this video. I usually give my companion my full fusion cores and carry two empty ones for the laser.
just a question do the Raiders need to be alive for this, or even after you killed them all?
I was only able to get it to work before I killed them all. Amoral Combat has not spawned for me since.
I've had it happen after the raiders are dead it seems you just don't want to kill fritsch but raiders do come to watch you fight so you'll have a bunch of enemies immediately after your fight
***** yeah i haven't gotten it and even when the raiders were alive. i tried running through the gauntlet again to make it spawn, but no luck.
Babitat 7 didn't kill him, but that quest isnt activating for me its been a week lol
daraxiong19 well there must be some action that triggers it regularly
The trick to farm aeternus was very helpful and I love it. I don't like having the charging barrels on it because I like the rate of fire on the regular one. I didn't get it nearly fully upgraded it was a normal Gatling laser.
I thought that the never ending legendary effect meant you didn’t have to reload
You're correct, but coincidentally with the gattling laser it bugs out an you get infinite ammo.
The reason its infinite is because a fusion core isnt ammunition, its a charge. So wereas with a pistol, you have a set numerical value of ammunition, with a fusion core you have a charge. You never have to reload the fusion core, ergo it has infinite charge. I believe the reason why it fully depletes the charge but continues to fire is because when you when you go over the integer limit, it will set it back down to it lowest number. so If the limit is 100, and you set it to 101, it will be 0. Maybe im just spitting bullshit, but thats the only explanation i can come up with.
A Broadsider with the Never Ending or Explosive effect and plasma flamer with the Explosive and Incendiary effect are what I like.
Well based on the usual behavior of the legendary modification it has its supposed to just have an unlimited magazine. like a wazer wifle. it should just make it so you don't have to reload.
But in fact, it gives you true unlimited ammo.
***** then it might be a glitch aswell. Might wanna be prepared for disappointment when a patch rolls around. in the mean time its usually around 500 shots per fusion core right? Do you get these quest after the good ending or just if you side with the raiders?
It is bugged, you get the exact same result if you find a Never Ending Gatling Laser off a Legendary enemy from what I've been told. And Hex, The Amoral Combat is available from the moment you become Overboss, It's mostly RNG, but there's suppose to be a way to ensure a proc of the quest.
Never Ending, like Explosive, won't spawn on Gats, which is why Aeternus is unique (much like the two "Furious" AKs are, since Furious only naturally spawned on melee weapons).
If it spawns on them naturally now, it is a change from the DLC to the vanilla game - but I've not had it happen yet.
If you DONT understand basically what’s happening is the never ending effect only works on normal ammo and since fusion cores aren’t classified as normal ammo which is why it never kills the fusion core
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FALLOUT 4 PLAYERS (PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT SO PEOPLE WILL SEE IT) I literally just tried Oxhorn's method of triggering this quest on PS4 after watching this video, and encountered a DANGEROUS bug where you can accept the opportunity to fight in the arena multiple times when talking to the guy in Nuka Cade. If you do so, this will in turn cause multiple enemies to be waiting on the other side of the opposite door when the fight starts, The PROBLEM is the game bugs out and only one of the enemies takes damage from your attacks. All the others will be COMPLETELY INVINCIBLE to attacks from both your character and NPC's. In my game, I was able to kill the one enemy in the arena that WASN'T invincible, and exit the arena after the doors opened. However, the invincible enemies were PERMANENTLY trapped in the arena fighting the Nuka World raiders that usually spawn inside when you tell to the Nuka Cade guy you wanna fight in the arena. If your playing on PS4 and use Oxhorn's method of farming Amoral Combat, It's IMPORTANT you save before accepting the quest from. Nuka Cade guy.
Prince Original "or Xbox"
Problem still found...
Just turn off your micro wave duh
Just reload your save from before this occured
I'm a bit late to the comment party here, but the Never Ending legendary effect is supposed to make it so you never have to reload. Usually, weapons with it will still consume ammo, but it's treated as having an infinite magazine capacity. I never did try the effect on a Gatling Laser, but I suspect I'd run into the same issue without any sort of patch. This is likely because Gatling Lasers don't use ammo in the normal way and each fusion core counts for a certain number of shots. Most other guns are one ammo for one shot.
Use it with the standard barrel way better fire rate it is op then
True but you get worse aim. Although now that I don't need to worry about ammo, I suppose I could spray and pray!
FEEL ME IN YOUR KIDNEYS!
also i really like the fast lpm (laserfucks per minute) which makes it feel like a real gatling laser
Just get an explosive minigun broham.
from the wiki
Aeternus is a unique Gatling laser that bears the "Never Ending" legendary effect.
Although it uses the "Never Ending" effect, its actual effect gives the weapon true unlimited ammo. It will use a portion of a fusion core when first fired, but the core's charge will not decrease again while using Aeternus.
i think this is a glitch cuz i have a never-ending legendary effect on my double barrel shotgun BUT,it still takes up shotgun shells...the only thing different is that i dont need to reload it
This is something different
hmmm never ending double barrel shotgun... sounds good
Lai Fa Chan Like Hershal's Unlimted Shotty
I'm pretty certain the never ending mod means that your ammo capacity is infinite which means you can fire all of your ammo without reloading, not that your shots do not cost ammo.
+Bender Rodriguez you are correct. But the effect is glitched for gatling lazers. That's why you can't get a never ending one normally. They added aeturnus as a unique item because the effect is glitched.
I had a glitch for a while when I picked up the "limitless potential" laser rifle where it actually did have unlimited ammo and didn't consume at all. It bugged so "bad" that it transferred over to all of my other laser weapons and even my gatling laser stopped consuming power cores. It was sweet until one day it just randomly quit bugging and started using ammo again.
aeturnus- ah-tuh-nis
silent R. yes that is the CORRECT way to say it. its the name of a young medievil knight that betrayed his country in the middle of a war, because he met his mother who was an older/aged nurse for the enemy. he gained the name aeturnus when he became a traitor. my family descended from his blood line, and he was the one i studied the most on for my family tree project back in elementary. we had to fill 8 big papers with the branching. and that means from me to my mom [no dad, because adopted at birth, etc, and nothing more known on my blood family other than mother and grandmother...not much to go on from there]
so...me to my mom to my grandparents, to THEIR parents to THEIR parents rinse and repeat. when i hit that era i was at two papers aside each other at the top, so i had aeturnus' mother [and un-named father who was a tailor. thats all on him] and he interested me the most.
is that the reason for this weapons name? possible...since i've seen a computer in an older game mentioning a BOS traitor who stole a prototype laser weapon. [gatling laser?] and it was never recovered.
well thats all i can say on this, take this info as you will, but its what i think, since it matches with other tid bits from the series :P
Dibs1337 k
You believe what you gotta believe bud, But aeturnus is a latin word meaning eternal, everlasting, permanent.
I doubt the eternally firing gun is named after your traitor knight ancestor. more likely that latin word
oh, i see the parallels now. I didn't watch the whole video.. still doubt its pronounced like that
+YoshiLikesCandy (Gabrielle Marin) Æ is pronounced like AYYY not EEE its the "Aygian" sea not "Egian" sea.
I gave Aeternus to Curie.
When companions use it, it does consume fusion core but the cores will not drop below 1/100. They must have multiple cores in their inventory as a single core will expend itself just like in your video.
I never had the issue of fusion core rarity, i personally think them as well as power armor is tooo easy and prevalent throughout the wastes, the game has become a joke easy to beat even n survival mode because power armor is everywhere, ive found hidden armor all over the place, stolen raider armor, and people selling or holding fusion cores, and generators with them abudant, ve had over 100 fusion cores and nuka world is worse as they have them everywhere, ive gotten a stack of 5 or more off a few enemies and then bought more from merchants
TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA yeah sometimes I get 3 fusion cores from one ammo case
Blizzard Soldier the shits tooo easy, atm i have over eighty fusion cores and 20 power armours in my settlement i have six parked and ready so my defending settlers will get in them when were attacked. but ya the game is a joke lol
TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA when i finished up my first play through to do one with mods i think i had over 200 cores. and shit tones of power armors scattered between my settlements
Battle toads.
TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA I feel like youve never heard of "Ballistic Weave"?
Very interesting. I got aternus. But the amoral combat quest came so easily for me. All i had to do was leave nuka world through the pip-boy map. Came back and EVERY SINGLE TIME i walked through the gates i heard the raider chatter about the alarm and so began the quest amoral combat. I must have done this quest about 30 times it was crazy. But very entertaining none the less. HOPE THIS HELPS ANY OF MY FELLOW FALLOUT FREAKS.
the aeternus is full of shit It drained almost all of my fusion cores
Pretty sure the name Aeternus is parallel to the word "Eternal", so pronounce it like that.
like Aeneas or enemas
CounterNerd Aeternus does mean eternal in latin
No Æ is pronounced AYY like Ægian or Æther.
CounterNerd ÆTRRNUS
At 5:00, that is completely intentional.
Your cores are still at 0 charge.
Using your jet pack ate through your power, so the game put a fresh core into your suit. But that core was already depleted from the weapon. So it replaced it with another, already depleted core.
One big issue with the power Armor hud is it doesn’t tell you how much power is in the spare cores, just the number. That is what happened. You loaded 4 empty cores at once.
I actually found out that it drains your fusion cores to like 8 power, and then it switches to the next fusion core and starts to drain that one. It's also fun because you can get the barrel to shoot more high damage shots but slower, and if you go into 3rd person and repeatedly zoom in and out really quickly makes it shoot way faster with way more damage
At 5:00 in, your Fusion Cores disappear because the Fusion Core in your Power Armor ran out.... If you notice, your Fusion Cores come back after it replaces the used Fusion Core in your Power Armor. It has nothing to do with your jet pack, but it did probably bug, and stop showing your Fusion Cores due to the gun, and how it works. But your Fusion Cores were always there, they just stopped showing for a few seconds due to lag while it was replacing the one for your Power Armor. And the gun does have unlimited ammo for me, and I have never had any problems with it.
Before I got the Gatling gun I was level 98 and using a explosive shotgun (very op), it was the only thing that could do damage to high level enemies until I got the galling gun. Sooooo glad that I got it.
I got it on my third Amoral Combat quest. For me it took my ammo counter down from 600 to 001 and never changed no matter how many times I fired.
Oxhorn. Idk if someone already mentioned but at 5:04 when the fusion cores came out when you used the jetpack. Maybe you hit the grenade button by accident with the nuclear physicist perk fully leveled will drop a fusion core like a grenade
I never had problems with Gatling Lazer + Power Armor. I used Nuclear Physicist and I had ranks in Scrounger. I don't know if it's because of the latter perk, but I would regularly at higher levels come across stacks of fusion cores in containers. It was only in the beginning that I somewhat had to worry about fusion cores, but I could buy any extras I needed from vendors.
if you reload before you fire your last shot with a gatling laser you can sell the used core for full price. also i personally never had a problem running out of fusion cores when using power armor / gatling laser. i switched about 3/4th of the way through my main character and i have over 2/3rds of the fusion cores i started with, and i have never bought any ammo with that character (including fusion cores).
Im pretty sure at 5:24 since the Aeternus (however you say it) has unlimited ammo,when it fires it will use ammo until there's no more charge in the fusion core,but keeps shooting which is why the fusion core in your jetpack instantly dissapeared(btw if he explains it after 5:24 then I haven't got there yet)
The best way to do the Open Season quest is to wear the Quantum X-01 Power Armor with Aeternus against the Raiders so that it's like Nuka-World itself is killing off the invaders.
+oxhorn sometime you can find fusion cores in ammo boxes,can and other containers the point is you can get lucky sometimes and get cores in containers
Finally Fallout 4 has its own Infinity! )))
Oxhorn when it showed 4 ammo left, it's vaguely trying to display that you started with 5, it consumed 1 fusion core to start the weapon, and tries to redisplay that you now have 4. With this weapon, you must have at least 2 to get it to register. The game files think you have 4 left by "using" a core, but you still had your 5. This gun just requires you to HAVE fusion cores to make it function properly. Bugged Weapon, but easily containable.
As a side note, when I have used this gun, it occasionally DOES consume a core from my inventory and not when I actually fire the weapon. This only happens when I actually take it out or swapped it from a different weapon. I believe it's a bug from swapping to a different weapon, fast travelling, and going back to Aeternus at your new destination. I cannot confirm this other than from my own experiences. To be safe I always stockpile of cores, and when one DOES get consumed, I still have plenty more.
there are a few weapons with the effect on them in base game, like the Limitless Laser Rifle. The way the Unlimited perk usually works is that it makes it so you can have all ammo loaded into the gun. It's a little buggy already, you basically reload an amount depending on how long you have the weapon equipped. The ammo isn't technically unlimited, just the clip size.
The issues with this are probably happening because fusion cores work weirdly as ammo by themselves already, so having a gun that uses them with an effect that is sort of buggy already just confuses the hell out of the game.
The "Never Ending" mod only removes the need to reload the weapon it is applied to. The weapon will chamber ammo directly from the player's inventory, bypassing the clip/magazine and the reload animation.
Normal ammo is binary in its usage (it is stored or shot), so the process is seamless. Fusion Cores have a charge (on a percentage gradient), making them more tricky to use with this mod.
Aeternus is using FC charges at the normal rate (after applying the skill bonuses) ; the ammo counter becomes awkward due to the fluid nature of FC's charge.
You have the proper mod installed to verify this : make a Never Ending .38, and observe the clip/ammo counter ; you will spend ammo (counter maxes out @ 999 rounds).
The only difference is that, on this gatling laser, the Never Ending effect seems to give the gun true unlimited ammo. I never ran out of fusion cores and I fired straight for 10 minutes.
Bugs will be bugs, I guess.
I know with other "never ending" weapons, it changes the weapon still uses ammo, but you never need to reload. My hypothesis: the glitches are related to the fact the Aeternus (like all gatling lasers) use fusion cores which have more than 1 shot within them as opposed to other ammo types. I also suspect the fact you have power armor equipped simultaneously complicates the matter. I think the best way to test these hypotheses would be to utilize the weapon without power armor and only 2 fresh cores in your inventory. If it works like the other "never ending" weapons, you should be able to hold down the trigger and fire 2 cores worth of shots before running dry. If it indeed is infinite ammo, it should run dry after emptying both cores.
Regarding your comment about core rarity: If you have all levels in scrounger maxed out, you can find Fusion cores in random containers since it's classified as ammo. At this point, one of my characters has more fusion cores than they know what to do with. Over 160.
The issue is that the Neverending legendary effect does not give truly unlimited ammo. Rather, it allows you to use your ENTIRE ammo pool as your magazine. This is why a Double Barrel Shotgun with this effect is near godly, allowing it to take full advantage of it’s high damage output and high fire rate, WITHOUT RELOADING, but you will eventually run out of ammo, as the effect still draws ammo from your INVENTORY instead of a magazine. The issue with your Jetpack, is that while testing the Aeturnus, you consumed the charge of nearly all of your Fusion Cores, and the jetpack consumed the final charge, and your Power Armor frantically cycled through all of the empty cores in your inventory, until you added more, fully charged cores with scripts.
A thousand Oxhorn videos and 3 years later & I still can’t get amoral combat to spawn lol.
I think all the weird bugs are because this legendary effect would better be described as "unlimited clip size". I had it on a plasma rifle, with this effect, supposing you acquired no more ammo, you would have no reason to reload. I think that due to the nature of fusion cores as a "multiple for one" ammo type that the math to get them to never need to reload is probably causing glitches. I think it only appears that you never expend ammunition, but that infact you do. It appears that upon loading/reloading the gun all fusion cores are equipped into it, but are left in inventory as a stack with 0 charge, excepting the one currently being drawn from, this one show your current progress through a typical clip. I think this explains your strange power depletion event with the power armor jet-pack. That all your fusion cores are loaded into your Aeternus, including the one currently equipped by the power armor, and as soon as you try to draw from the cores your inventory updates, grabs a fusion core with zero charge, and then immediately depletes it. Supposing you wished to utilize this weapon with a power armor I would recommend exiting power armor, dropping all but a few cores, equipping and loading the Aeternus, then entering your power armor, then collecting all the extra fusion cores.
when a fusion core powers factories for 200 years but a special Exo suit for a few minutes.
You were right when you said it haha. It's a good name for a weapon that has ammo that can go on forever.
A trigger point is next to the mountain there is a statues of bottle and cappy outside the wall, circle it and the quest should start
What happened with the fusion cores expanding instantly when you pulsed the jet back is...
The fusion core used on your power armor expired as you took off
Then instead of replacing the fusion core the game used the number of fusion cores as the "charge" on the current fusion core
So basically what I think is that Aeturnus needs two fusion cores for the ammo to register. (Confusing I know) The core needs to be put into Aeturnus to have something to shoot. But for some reason it needs another core to make it unlimited. When 600 turns to 4. The 4 represents 4 cores. It's not never consuming as it still consumes the fusion core, however you can just shoot forever. I'm assuming it's like the laser rifle Shaun gives you. "Wazer wifle"
I like the new power armor system... it makes power armor feel awesome... like, not just a cool skin with more armor... but actual POWER
You should use the standard barrel. Not only does it sound beast, but it has a higher dps and isn't much harder to control (especially since you're using mouse and keyboard).
Aeternus is amazing for followers, I have it on Danse with 2 0/100 Fusion Cores and he fires it non-stop all day long when traveling.
There needs to be a legendary effect for each piece of power armor that reduces fusion core consumption
Or we could just duplicate Fusion Cores via the Conveyor Belt Storage. You can get Millions in about 2 days of duplicating.😅
You seem like a pretty chill dude.
I found myself a never ending double barrel shotgun. The way it worked was that instead of having an ammo reserve, all shotgun shells were ready to fire, meaning that I had no reload, and I assume that that’s how it works for all weapons, but because of how Gatling lasers work with two different ammo types from loaded to on hand it probably messes with this affect.
Even without this gun gatling lasers are VERY ammo efficient. You find cores everywhere and if you need to you can buy more. 500 shots for like 300 caps or so depending on you char is super cheap.
This quest is by far the buggiest most frustrating quest around. I had so many issues getting the quest to trigger then it would crash constantly. I finally managed to get to through every fight but it was to the point that I completely destroyed the gauntlet so I had to resort to using my jet pack to get across the first wooden floor.
You think Todd wanted an unlimited gatling gun put into the game?
