Unlike other powerful weapons like the Plasma Cutter, the Enclave Plasma Rifle can be obtained by completing one of the main story missions. The mission you can complete to obtain this weapon is called One of Us. You get this mission when you reach the Whitespring Bunker during the main campaign. The weapon isn’t guaranteed to drop from this mission.

If it doesn’t drop, you can also check around the map to see if there are any Dropped Connection events currently active. These events can appear in Berkeley Springs, Harpers Ferry, and Watoga. If you don’t see the Dropped Connection event active in any of these regions, you can exit the game and join a different server for another chance. Finally, you can check the MODUS terminals in Whitespring for the weapon, though that will be pricey.
