Are there any silenced energy weapons availiable?
I've become a little over-reliant on the suppressors on my trusty 10mm and .50 cal guns. I'd like to start using some of the very nice legendary laser and plasma weapons I have, but unfortunately, it looks like there's no way to get a suppressor for either. Are there any silent energy weapons? Or energy weapons that can be made silent with a little elbow grease at a workbench?
Best Answer
Unfortunately, no.
There are only 9 energy weapons in the game (No, the Gauss Rifle uses magnets to fling tiny metal pellets at ludicrous speeds, and therefore doesn't count)
- Laser gun
- Plasma gun
- Laser musket
- Alien blaster
- Flames
- Gatling laser
- Gamma gun
- Institute gun
- Cryolater
None of these have the option of affixing silencers, though there are anecdotal claims that laser guns are quieter than non-silenced weapons. I don't personally think those claims hold any water, but they exist.

A laser weapon is a directed-energy weapon based on lasers. After decades of R&D, as of January 2020 directed-energy weapons including lasers are still at the experimental stage and it remains to be seen if or when they will be deployed as practical, high-performance military weapons.Are laser weapons possible?
U.S. military forces are installing deployable laser weapons on Navy destroyers, Army armored combat vehicles, and even on all-terrain vehicles. Among the most promising applications of early versions of today's deployable laser weapons involves destroying or disabling enemy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs).Can plasma energy be used as a weapon?
The very short answer is \u201cnot.\u201d It's difficult to generate a sufficiently high-density, high-energy plasma to be used as a weapon in the first place, but they're especially difficult to generate and sustain with exposure to significant quantities of neutral gas, and especially heavier gases like oxygen and nitrogen.10 STRONGEST ENERGY WEAPONS in Fallout: New Vegas - Caedo's Countdowns
