How to acquire
Collect it at Plumber's Secret
The weapon will spawn inside the Plumber's Secret warehouse, which is located in Cambridge.
The warehouse is located north of Kendall Hospital, and east of the Collegiate Administration building
The weapon will spawn in via script. Thus, other mods affecting Plumber's Secret will not interfere.
Don't forget to pick up the ammo toolkit and the instructions note.
At Plumber's Secret you are also able to scavenge quite some ammo for the Plunger Gun.

Console
If you wish to spawn the weapon using the console, use the following commands:
help plunger 4 weap
This command should list something like: XX000800 Plunger Gun, where XX is a two digit number.
Next, type the following command, and replaces the XX's in the command with the two numbers you just found:
player.additem XX000800
The form id's for the instruction note and the toolkit respectively:
XX011AC7 and XX0089CC

Customization
The Plunger Gun features the following customization options:
5 Capacitors - Performs ammo management for you
6 Barrels - Do you want to hand-crank it or fire in semi or full auto?
4 Teleport Tech Modules - Multi-channel technology for swapping projectiles on the fly, or unstable tech for more ammo.
4 Stocks - Go for sturdy steel or appealing wood
15 Sights - Take a precision iron-sight, or a fancy recon scope
13 Plunger Types - Harness the full potential of the plunger

The Ammo
Options
Since different people like different things, there are three options regarding to ammo usage:
- The default option: different type of projectiles require different types of ammo
- The Single Ammo Type option: different type of projectiles all use the same ammo: Plunger Ammo
- The Fusion Cell option: the weapon will use Fusion Cells for each and every projectile type.
Select the option you like at your local Weapon's Workbench

Ammo Types
The Plunger Gun can fire the following ammo types:
Plunger
Spiked Plunger
Fragmentation Plunger (Timed or Impact)
Pulse Plunger (Timed or Impact)
Cryo Plunger (Timed or Impact)
Plasma Plunger (Timed or Impact)
Nuke Plunger (Timed or Impact)
Construction Plunger



Acquiring Ammo
There are two ways to obtain ammo for the weapon: craft it yourself, or let the gun take care of it for you.
To craft the ammo yourself, you will need the Plunger's Ammo Crafting Toolkit.
It can be found next to the weapon, and will be called -Plunger Gun- Craft Ammo.
You can find the item in the Aid section of your PipBoy.
Using the item results in a small menu. Here you can specify how much of which type of plunger you wish to craft or dismantle.
NOTE: you can now craft normal, non ammo, Plungers at any Chemistry Station

Of course, manual ammo management can be a bit tiresome. Therefore the Plunger Gun can be equipped with Ammo Converters
There are five ammo converters in total:
- The no-converter: does nothing at all. The gun will not mess with your ammo.
- Converting Capacitor: the moment you equip the weapon, it will convert all normal plungers in inventory to normal ammo.
- Reconverting Capacitor: Same as the Converting Capacitor. However, when you unequip the weapon, it will convert all normal plunger ammo back into normal plungers.
- Advanced Converting Capacitor: Same as Converting Capacitor, except this one can also create advanced ammo types, like the Frag. Plungers.
NOTE: Yes, this DOES consume grenades or mines from your inventory, depending on which type of projectile you currently have installed.
- Advanced Reconverting Capacitor: Same as the Reconverting Capacitor, but now applied to advanced ammo types.

Teleport Technology
About
The Plunger Gun uses Institute grade technology to teleport plungers into the weapon, ready to fire.
There are several variations possible

Multi-channel Tech
Allows the user to specify an alternate plunger type.
The user can then use the -Plunger Gun- Swap to Alt. item in the Aid section to swap between the two different projectile types.
This Aid item is added automatically if the user does not have it in inventory at the moment.
NOTE: The swapping only works if the player has at most one Plunger Gun in inventory.

Unstable Tech
The Unstable Tech has a chance of about 25% percent to glitch and duplicate a projectile.
The result: one extra shot for you.
The Highly Unstable Tech variant increases that chance to 50%.
However, there is a chance that this piece of equipment will overload itself.
If that happens, it capacitors burn out, causing the tech to overheat and explode, killing its user.
Only thing left to do then is do one last pirouette of glory.
