Old tricks never die in Fallout New Vegas, and this one is blowing up again online.
**
Fallout New Vegas Secret Laser Rifle Glitch That Breaks The Game is clipping the weapon into your body to lock an invincible shot. This sequence also breaks enemy health scaling and bypasses endgame defenses. Research shows players stumble on rare load order quirks.
**
Once you clip the rifle, save before any fight and expect instant one-shot damage. Some setups corrupt autosaves, so use a manual backup.

Why does this trigger happen now?
Streamers rediscover the setup, spark forum threads and video runs during patch quiet weeks. Studies indicate oddities in collision math explain the infinite ammo and damage spike.
How to spot the setup early?
Watch floating frames, weird hitboxes, or missing weapons in containers. If enemies act scripted, stop and reload an earlier slot.

Can this crash every playthrough?
Usually only with specific mod loads or late-game blocks. Safe mode and clean saves reduce the risk.
Should you try this on your first run?
Not advised, since it removes challenge and may lock story paths. Veteran players use it for speed clears only.
