While Bethesda moves on to Fallout 76, you can always count on modders to keep the studio’s single-player games filled with new content and ways to play. One of the most notable recent additions is Archimedes-II, a laser rifle with orbital strike capabilities that might just remind you of the New Vegas days.
Archimedes-II is a “multi-purpose weapons platform” with three firing modes. The Flare Charge lets you charge up a shot similar to a gauss rifle, while the Dissipator fires a constant beam of energy. Both modes will leave a trail of fire in the wake of those shots, just in case you need a bit of extra flaming destruction to take the opposition down.
But the extra cool option is the Orbital Designator, which allows you to use a laser pointer and designate the position of an orbital strike for a truly explosive blast. You’ve got a 24 hour cooldown on this ability. Of course, this is a mod, so if you want to get silly you can – you’ve got the option to disable limiters and call down those strikes repeatedly for a nonstop carnival of destruction.
You can grab Archimedes-II over at Nexus Mods. The Orbital Designator builds off a similar item in Fallout: New Vegas, but that weapon worked purely as a laser target – no options for other modes of attack while you wait for the satellites to recharge.

Capital Wasteland is back on target, if you’re looking for an even more substantial addition to your Fallout 4 experience. The Bethesda mod community shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
