Where to find Enclave Plasma Rifles and Enclave Plasma Pistols
Enclave Plasma Rifles and Pistols are often mistaken for Plasma Rifles and Pistols and can not be crafted.
Transmission Station 1AT-U03
You will need to have completed the original Enclave questline to be able to enter this location. Hacker and Lock Pick perk cards or Master Infiltrator will help a lot here as well.
From the main lobby, face NE and use either the terminal or lock pick to unlock the white door on the left. Follow the corridor around until you get to a room with a green poisonous cloud. You can either jump into Power Armour, a Chinese Stealth Suit, or just YOLO it through the cloud. Keep following the path around until you get to a room with a Scorched Mothman in it.
Kill the Mothman and then follow the catwalk around on your right. Keep following the platform around until you see a door marked "Exit". Walk through that door and follow the path around until you get to another lab. Drop down to the ground floor, and kill the Wendigo and the other assorted insects.
Face NE and open the white door in front of you. Follow the room around until you get to Lab B with the Scorched Mole Miner in it. Kill the Mole Miner and open the white door on your left. Follow the room around until you get to Lab C. Kill the Deathclaw and take the stairs up to the top and swipe your card.
There is only one way that you can go from here so just follow the rooms and corridors around until you get to the atrium with the Scorched Scientists and Officers. Once you have cleared them, head upstairs and open the white double doors marked "Exit".
There is only one way that you can go from here so keep following the rooms and corridors around until you get to the set of stairs going down into the water. Open the door and follow the rooms and corridors around until you get to the end room where the Scorched Enclave Chief spawns. Again there is only one way that you can go so don't worry about getting lost.
Enclave Plasma Rifles will only drop from the Scorched Enclave Chief.
Note that these rifles are standard and only drop with:
Standard capacitor
Short barrel
Stabilized stock
Standard sights
Enclave Plasma Pistols will only drop from the Enclave Officers.
Note that these pistols are standard and only drop with:
Standard capacitor
Short barrel
Standard grip
Standard sights
Whitespring Bunker
MODUS - Production Terminals
Fast Travel to The Whitespring Service Entrance and enter the building. Turn South at the end of the hallway and walk over to the large doorway.

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess
I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76 and Starfield.
I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.
So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.
All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)
Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the Wasteland.
