The Photon Disruptor! An Institute weapon from their early days. Before the current style of Institute Rifle was constructed they had this model. The early generation of synths were paired with it to create an effective machine capable of completing their tasks quickly. Since only synths needed weapons, they built these weapons to maximize their capabilities. Newer Institute Rifles were designed to work better for Coursers, Institute staff and Gen 3 synths.
With this in mind, Gen 1 or 2 synths that use this weapon have their own special weapon reload designed to make use of a synth's unique body mechanics to execute a reload quickly and efficiently in a way a human never could. It's quite intimidating!
Since this weapon is considered obsolete I made the weapon a bit more rare to come across.

The video below shows off the weapon and stuff! Gameplay is about 2:30 in.





Unlike the Select series of weapons, this weapon can only be found on Institute synths or staff. The likelihood of it spawning isn't too common either.
They can also be legendary, the Photon Disruptor was added to the random Legendary roll. Starts showing up at level 19.
Once obtained for the first time, the weapon can then be crafted at a Chemistry Bench under PHOTON DISRUPTOR.

Warning: Institute Story info spoiler:
Spoiler:  
Show
If the Institute is destroyed on your save game, the mod will detect this and allow you to simply craft the weapon at a Chemistry Bench.

---FAQ---

You mentioned synths have a special reload, does this include Nick?

Yes!

What is that slick new Power Armor shown in the video and screenshots?
That Power Armor is out now! See this Nexus link for SE-01 Power Armor.

Collections?
I don't mind this mod being in Collections, but if a problem arises from someone's mod pack relating to this mod... well in short I won't be fixing it. I ain't got time for that! That's the mod pack author's problem lol.



Thanks to dpillari for handling all of the texture work on this weapon and also for the name!
