Fallout 4 where to find legendary weapons. The best weapon. Video: how to find an extraterrestrial alien pistol

home

There are really a lot of weapons in Fallout 4. How to choose the best? I will not talk about unique samples such as the Cryolator, Junktron or Nail Gun. And also about unique weapons and how to find them. By the way, about this.

There is no perfect weapon

I'll start with the bad news - each weapon can only be ideal for a certain case. Therefore, you will constantly have 5-6 guns of different calibers and different types of damage dangling in your backpack. If you are looking for the leader in terms of damage, then the favorite here is the “fat man”. It remains to develop the “Fan” perk big guns

" to achieve maximum damage. Although this is the best weapon in terms of damage, it is necessary to use it extremely rarely. Nuclear mini-warheads do not lie on the road. So what kind of weapon can be called ideal?

Let's deal with the damage first.

Types of damage

Each weapon in the game has characteristics - the type and amount of damage. Some of the guns, such as the plasma carbine, deal multiple types of damage at once.

This makes it a versatile weapon, but due to the low availability of ammunition, it is difficult to use consistently.

There are unique examples of simple guns that use a cheap cartridge and can cause combined damage. For example, here is a 10mm pistol:

Deals ballistic damage and 50 radiation damage. An excellent weapon against raiders.

You will probably find similar instances.

There are only 3 main types of damage and 3 more exotic ones:
ballistic
energetic
radiation
poisoning, bleeding
fire damage

cryogenic damage

Weak points, types of armor Each type of damage has its own protection. To choose the “ideal” gun you need to know and use weak sides

and target locations. The “Observation” perk (VOS 3) is very useful, which in VATS mode will reveal information about the target’s protective parameters.

Here we see that the machine gun turret is immune to radiation and poisoning, and is also protected from ballistic and energy damage.

Those. trying to poison or expose a turret to radiation is not a good idea. And firing from a laser rifle would be appropriate. Select gun with the right type

damage is half the battle. The second part of the task is to squeeze out maximum damage.

Influence of basic characteristics and level.

Your level does not affect the damage you deal. Don't expect that your "nerd" will be Chuck Norris after 20 levels. Damage can be affected by the perks you choose.

Force.

Strength only affects damage dealt in close combat - with brass knuckles, clubs, etc. And also, if you use the butt of your carbine, saving ammo.

What do we have left? Perks, weapon modifications and wonderful pre-war magazines :). Our companions can teach us something. Don't forget about the Vault-Tek figures. Not all of them improve characteristics; there are also bonuses for weapons.

Distance.

Distance to target is very important when choosing a weapon. On close range The combat shotgun is in the lead - rapid-fire and lethal. Weak opponents can be treated with a butt or “go to the bayonet point”. I almost never use edged weapons.

On middle distance any carbine with collimator sight, which does not obscure the view. I carry both a laser carbine and a combat carbine because different types damage. It is not difficult to find cartridges for them; they are distinguished by a high rate of fire and sufficient clip capacity.

Long distance requires good optics. I like the modifications with the scout sight. The sniper carbine is ideal for shooting the enemy from a safe distance. We aim for the head and hold our breath. 1 target - 1 shot.

pay attention to information about the multiplicity of damage - so you can evaluate the real overall efficiency selected perks. Legendary enemies do not die in one shot under any circumstances.

At high levels, you can get “Gauss carbines” from Brotherhood of Steel adepts. A very lethal rifle. When it falls into your hands, you will already have a decent amount of ammo for it. Her rate of fire leaves much to be desired, but she is a good candidate for sniper rifles.

In fact, pistols are completely excluded from consideration, automatic weapon and heavy weapons. But they deserve a few words.

Pistols.

Sometimes you can indulge in them, but in general, they are almost not in use. Weak damage and range. Automatic modifications to pistols cut off the already low damage and waste ammo insanely quickly.

Although .44 caliber revolvers are powerful devices, 6 rounds in the cylinder and a low rate of fire are not pleasing during dynamic battles. After pampering yourself a little, you put them in your backpack for a long time.

Heavy guns.

They have one advantage - firepower. The rest are cons. Heavy weight, little ammunition. The minigun at the "survival" difficulty level turns into a completely useless accessory. Its damage is barely enough to shoot ordinary raiders.

The Gatling laser machine gun remains more or less useful. It uses nuclear blocks instead of ammunition. The fat man rules in special situations - against bosses.

Steel arms.

Melee weapons are suitable for silent operations. It deals much higher damage in stealth mode than firearms. If you like to act silently, take a bat or machete with you.

Useful perks.

Let's go over the perks.

Carbine Expert (Perception 2)

I have found that the most practical class of weapons are carbines. That’s why the “carbine expert” perk is our choice. Adds damage dealt, ignores some of the target's defenses, and even has a chance of immediately damaging limbs when shooting at them.

Weapon Fanatic (Intelligence 3)

To modify weapons, use removed mods from trophies. It may seem like a rather tedious process waiting for the right modification for your barrel, but it allows you to avoid wasting points on leveling up your Gun Fanatic. Removed modifications can be used even without reaching the skill level required to create them. Also, the crafting of some modifications will require the “Science” perk (INT 6).

Bloodbath (Luck 3)

Straightforward Bloodbath increases damage for all weapons. Is it worth thinking about usefulness here? Definitely our choice.

Sandman (Agility 4)

Stealth and modification of the silencer are the attributes of an assassin. Sandman increases damage in this case.

Ninja (Agility 7)

Increases damage significantly in stealth mode. Requires a high level of dexterity. But it's worth it. The tactic a la “sneak up on the victim and hit him with a baton” is becoming relevant. Sniper rifles work wonders. And the 10mm pistol with a silencer gets a second chance.

Demolition Expert (Perception 5)

Grenades, mines, bazookas - these things become more useful if you are an explosives expert. Damage and damage radius increases.

Weapon modification

December 1, 2015

I continue to play Fallout 4. I recorded a one-minute video showing the Brotherhood of Steel flotilla of airships. Cool scripted scene on a game engine. Three helicopters circle around a huge airship. Bye...

Almost all parts of the popular Fallout game series featured a huge arsenal of a wide variety of weapons. The main character could use laser rifles, shotguns, machine guns, machine guns, plasma guns and many other guns. However, among them they always had truly unique weapons with interesting properties or incredible firepower. In this regard, the fourth numbered part is no exception. In this article we will try to tell you where you can find the best weapons in Fallout 4. The article will be constantly updated as new guns are found.

Alien Blaster

The Alien Blaster is a very powerful weapon that has been present in almost all previous games in the series. This gun really belongs to aliens who will fly to the Wasteland in their huge flying saucer. It is from the aliens that we have to take away this miniature blaster.

The first step is to complete the Vault 75 task (some note that it is not necessary to complete it, but we still advise you to play it safe). To get there, you must first go to Malden High School, located southeast of the initial Vault. In the building we find the room where the cage lies and go into the basement.

You need to go through it and then head northeast towards the building Kindergarten(Greentop Nursery). Then we go west to the old drainage well (Old Gullet Sinkhole). You need to look around - at this moment a flying saucer should fly over the main character's head.

Now you need to go to Fort Hagen, located north of Vault 81. Next, go south from the plant. You will certainly see a fire in the distance - it is burning spaceship aliens. Having reached the spaceship, start looking for traces of blood on the ground (for aliens it is green). They will lead you to a cave nearby, where you will meet the alien. Kill the extraterrestrial guest and take the Alien Blaster from him.

Fat Man

The Fat Man is an extremely powerful weapon that fires miniature nuclear warheads. It is not very accurate, but it has a large radius of destruction and inflicts enormous damage on the enemy. Great for destroying multiple enemies at once. You can find it at the very beginning of the game.

To find Fat Man, you need to leave Vault 111 and go east to the landfill where robots are disposed of. Here you can find batteries for power armor, as well as the grenade launcher we need. True, he will not have shells - he must purchase them from arms dealers.

Cryolator

In Vault 111 in the Overseer's room you can find powerful gun- A cryolator capable of dispersing fog and freezing opponents. This weapon is locked in a safe, which is protected by a Master-level lock, which means that to open it you must have good hacking skills. Therefore, at the beginning of the game you will not be able to open it. It's worth returning here at level eighteen. The main thing is not to forget about it.

Junktron

Surely you were already able to understand from the name of this weapon that in the form of ammunition it uses ordinary trash, of which there is always a lot in the protagonist’s inventory. Excellent help in situations when the main gun runs out of ammo. You can find the Cluttertron when completing a quest called “A Call to Arms.” It is located right in the jet mechanism control room.

Righteous Lord

A good laser gun that can be obtained at the initial stages of the game (it is given out for completing the “Call to Arms” quest). However, it remains relevant even at higher levels. In addition, this rifle has an excellent bonus that doubles the damage from critical attacks and increases the rate at which the critical shot gauge is filled by fifteen percent.

Vicious Power Knuckles

To get this amazing brass knuckles you need to find Swan Pond, located in Boston Common, next to Park Street Station. There you will have to fight the terrible "Swan".

We advise you to purchase a lot of explosives before engaging in battle with this enemy. You need to stay away from the boss and throw dynamite at him. On the enemy's corpse you will find the Furious Power Knuckles, which deals 56 points of damage by default. If you have the skill open " iron fist", then you will be able to inflict simply monstrous damage in hand-to-hand combat. However, the main feature of this brass knuckles is not its big damage, and the increase this parameter with each subsequent blow to the enemy.

Grognak's Ax

You can find this powerful bladed weapon in the glass display case of Hubris Comics. This building is located near Diamond City. By default, Grognak's ax can deal 42 points of damage to an enemy. In addition, it causes the enemy to bleed and has a considerable chance of completely stunning him. Perfect for those who like to wave something heavy.

Big boy

One of the few powerful and unique murder weapons that the player can purchase from Wasteland businessmen. You can find him from Arturo Rodriguez, a dealer who sells weapons in the Diamond City shopping area. You can buy it for 13.7 thousand bottle caps (default price).

In truth, Big boy is the same Fat Man, but with an excellent bonus - he is capable of releasing two miniature nuclear warheads at once, creating a local nuclear apocalypse in the wasteland.

Kellogg pistol

You can get this big “baby” by destroying Kellogg in the “Reunion” quest. In addition to high damage, it can also please the player with a pleasant bonus - after each critical attack, all the main character’s action points will be restored in a second.

True friend

Rich players can also purchase a gun called Faithful Friend from Arturo Rodriguez. It costs 2.5 thousand bottle caps and has an incredibly useful gadget - it deals double damage to enemies with a full life scale. If you upgrade your sneak attack, your enemies will die with one successful shot.

Shem Drawn's Sword

You can get this wonderful sword after completing the quest called “The Gilded Grasshopper.”

Shem Drawn's sword is made in ancient style and can cause radiation damage. However, its basic attack is quite mediocre, so this sword is of no use. Although, you can easily hang it on the wall in your home, as it looks incredibly elegant.

Rockville Boxer

At the above retail plaza in Diamond City, players can buy an original baseball bat. You can find it in Mo Cronini's small store, located to the left of Rodriguez's shop. The Rockville Boxer sells for 1,000 bottle caps. As a bonus, there is a reduction in the cost of action points by forty percent.

General Zhao's Revenge

Your main character will probably visit a diner called “Drumlin” during his journey through the Wasteland. In this seemingly unremarkable place you can buy some pretty good bladed weapons. Its base attack is 58 points of damage. In addition, this sword deals fifty percent more damage to robots. This weapon will be much more useful than Grognak's axe. However, to obtain it you will have to shell out 2 thousand caps.

Started the song

Sold by a merchant located in Good Neighborhood. It is purchased from K-L-E-O. This rocket launcher is ideal for fighting human bosses, as it deals fifty percent more damage to human opponents. But this weapon costs 12.5 thousand bottle caps (default price). However, you can always try to trade with the merchant.

Special complex for survival

To obtain this gun, you must be part of the Brotherhood of Steel and complete any tasks of this faction. After a certain period of time, you will be given a quest called "The Lost Patrol". At the end of this quest, you will have three ways to become the owner of this weapon. First, you can kill Brandis and take his gun. Secondly, the main character can steal his weapon. Thirdly, the player is able to persuade him to return. We advise you to give it away Special complex for Paper's survival, he will be much more useful in this case.

Justice

Justice is one of the most best shotguns in the game, especially if you improve it with various additional modules. You can find it already in the middle of the passage. You will be able to purchase it for 1.4 thousand bottle caps at the Covenant (Covenant) outlet.

Volley

Do you want to get a weapon? mass destruction with an interesting design, then the Volley cannon is your choice. It is a mobile cannon that fires real cannonballs. This is an incredibly powerful weapon that can be obtained by completing a quest called “The Last Voyage of the Ship Constitution.”

Kremvh's Tooth

Fans of bladed weapons should take a closer look at Kremva's Tooth. This is a small knife with big damage. You can find it in the Dunwich Bores Mine. On the way to it you will have to fight five extremely aggressive ghouls. Be extremely careful, there are many dangers hidden in the mines.

Savior

This elegant pistol is awarded for completing a mission called "Undercover Work." This quest can be taken from the Deacon located in the Underground.

The Savior fires 10mm rounds and does a fair amount of damage. In addition, it is equipped with a silencer, making it ideal for quietly eliminating enemies. It has several bonuses: it increases the chance to hit in VATS attack mode and reduces the cost of AP (Action Points) by 25 percent.

Press and pray

If you want to feel like a dangerous gangster from the 50s of the 20th century, then this submachine gun will become your main weapon. Don't forget to also grab the Silver Cloak and Hat. You can purchase Press and Pray from a merchant named Cricket. You can find her near Vault 81. She is sitting next to a rusty van right in front of the vault.

This submachine gun has a nice bonus: when it hits an enemy, the bullets explode, dealing 15 points of damage over a small area. Thus, this gun is worth using when fighting multiple opponents.

Special offer from Technician Tom

Those who prefer to take out enemies from afar should look for this sniper rifle. Great for covertly eliminating opponents. The fact is that it increases the probability of hitting in VATS mode if you have not yet entered the battle, but at the same time the AP costs increase.

You probably already understood from the name that you can get this rifle from Technician Tomi, located in the Underground. True, he will not give it to you for free - you will have to buy the weapon. In addition, for this you must be a friend of Tomi.

2076 World Series Baseball Cue

The retail location where you can find this bat is located in a long-abandoned city called Jamaica Plain. First of all, you have to climb into the local church, the door of which is locked with a complex lock. You can also get into the building through the roof - you just need to climb onto the building located to the left of the religious building.

In the church hall you will find a corpse on a bench. Search his pockets and take away anything unusual. Then go to the city administration building (a large yellowish building located directly opposite the statue). On the ground floor we find a small basement. We go inside and find the storage room. Inside you can find a small room with a computer terminal and a glass display case. In this display case you will find a bat.

The bat does not do very much damage, but it has an interesting bonus. The fact is that there is a considerable chance that you will be able to throw your enemy into the air, and then watch him fall down, which usually ends in the death of the enemy.

Virgil's carbine

You can get this excellent gun if Virgil dies. You can either attack him on the sly and take the carbine by force, or tell him that you couldn’t detect the serum (can only be done with a high charisma score). With the latter option, he will ask you to shoot him.

Virgil's carbine is worth using against super mutants, as it deals 50 percent more damage to them.

Reba II

Excellent sniper rifle, which can be obtained after completing a small quest from a Salem settler named Barney. You will quickly find it, because once you get to Salem, you will immediately hear loud screams and shooting. Follow the sounds and you will see local resident, shooting at swampers. Once you complete the quest, go to Barney. He will open a room in the basement, where the rifle will be located.

It deals considerable damage to all creatures, but it is best used against insects and swamp creatures, since when shooting at them, the damage dealt increases by 50 percent.

Big Jim

Believe it or not, the game even has a unique adjustable wrench that gives the enemy a 20 percent chance of breaking one of his legs. To find it, you need to go to Walden Pond and find a small lake, near which there is a drainage pipe. We follow it and find ourselves in a cave. There you will need to destroy a group of raiders. The key itself lies in the room with the stairs. You need to climb up it and approach the table. Big Jim will be lying near the red box.

It has little use, so it will probably just go into your collection unique weapons.

Experiment 18-A

Serious weapons for serious people. This powerful plasma rifle can be purchased from one of the merchants in the Institute. It costs a lot of money, but you can quickly recoup all costs by robbery and robbery... by killing bad guys and saving lovely ladies.

This weapon has excellent bonuses: the rate of fire increases by 25 percent, and reload time increases by 15 percent. Thus, you will be able to inflict monstrous damage to the enemy in a short period of time.

Winner

You can find this revolver at pumping station, which is northeast of Finch's farmland. Having reached the station, we go to the remote control, on which there are several buttons. Then enter the following combination of numbers: 10 4 5 1. Then wait until the door opens. In the room you will find a skeleton, near which the gun we need will lie.

It deals low base damage, but it has a great bonus: the enemy takes 15 points of fire damage.

Le Fusil Terribles

We are looking for Libertalia, in which you will find a peculiar turret created from parts of a sunken ship. Climb to the very top, where the captain's cabin is located. There you will find a wooden box in which this shotgun lies.

Has excellent damage and rate of fire. In addition, it deals 25 percent more damage to limbs. However, his return is considerable.

Gun Lorenzo

This weapon can be obtained during the mission called The Secret of House Cabot. You will only get it if you decide to kill Lorenzo. Come to Jack in seven days and he will give you this gun.

It deals physical and radioactive damage to enemies, and also strongly pushes enemies back. It requires extremely rare ammo, so use your weapon wisely.

Wastelander's Friend

It can be purchased in Bunker Hill from a merchant named Deb. It costs relatively little and is capable of causing enormous damage to any creatures.

It uses 10mm cartridges for shooting. It deals 50 percent more damage to limbs.

Shish Kebab

You can find this amazing fiery blade at the Sagos Ironworks factory. This sword is wielded by a boss named Slag. Before you can get to this bandit, you will have to deal with a dozen of his henchmen, who are armed with flamethrowers.

In addition to normal damage, Shish Kebab also deals fire damage. An excellent weapon for those who like to fight opponents at short distances.

Nail gun

You can find this miracle gun in Long John's trash bin. First you will have to find a small carriage of blue color which is turned on its side. It has a hatch on the floor. You need to open the location map, and you will immediately see an entrance on it with the inscription “Shelter”. However, you will not be able to open it. The first step is to connect it to electricity. We follow the cable to the generator and activate it. Then we return to the hatch and go inside. There on the table you will find a Nail Gun.

This weapon deals a lot of damage and has a good range. But the most important thing is that he does not need cartridges, since he is capable of shooting ordinary nails. In addition, it can be modified.

Pickman's Blade

You can find an unusual knife in the Pickman Gallery. In this building you will have to fight a huge number of raiders. We kill all the thugs, and then go to save Pickman. After that, he will give us the key to the storage room, where the knife lies.

Suitable for covert attacks. Deals considerable damage and allows you to make very fast attacks.

Can be purchased from the merchant in Vault 81 (located to the left of Diamond City). To enter the shelter you must have 3 batteries available for Power armor. Once inside, go right to the very end. You will see an elevator ahead. We don’t go into it, but turn right again. Let's go ahead and find Alexis Combs. You can buy the Guardian Guardian from her for only 3 thousand bottle caps.

A great weapon that can be modified and turned into a killer gun. In addition, it has an excellent bonus: it can fire a second projectile when firing.

Prototype UP77 "Unlimited Potential"

An amazing energy weapon that doesn't require ammo as it has infinite ammo. However, obtaining this prototype is not easy. To do this, your hero must be able to pick the most complex locks.

So, first of all, we go to University Point to the University Credit Union. Here you need to hack the computer and go through the previously closed opening. After that, we go into a room with many old safes. You need to try to open the vault with the most difficult lock. We find a button in the safe. You need to press it, after which the door to the secret room will open. This is where our UP77 Prototype will lie on the table.

The Last Judgment

This unique Gatling laser is carried by Elder Maxson, head of the Brotherhood of Steel. Thus, you can get it only in two ways: either take the side of the Brotherhood and win the war, or fight for the Institute. In the latter case, you will have to kill Maxson.

Incredibly powerful weapon with a high rate of fire. In addition, this Gatling laser has a nice bonus: the rate of fire is increased by 25 percent, and reload time is accelerated by 15 percent. In general, a “must have” for lovers of energy weapons.

Good intentions

Remember the saying “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions”? So, with this energy weapon it is quite possible to cut your way to the Underworld. To get it you need to go to a camp called “Quincy Ruins” and destroy all the raiders in the area. At some point you will meet a boss named Clint. He is the one who uses this gun. We kill the bastard and take the weapon.

His distinctive feature It is believed that the cannon's critical attacks enrage enemies, causing them to be unable to act adequately. Quite an unusual bonus.

Ashbringer

Do you want to feel like the Terminator? Then you should definitely get a minigun called the Incinerator. To do this, we go to Good Neighborhood. There the quest “Excavation” will begin. If at the end of the mission you decide to kill or betray Bobby, then Fahrenheit will give you this weapon.

Its characteristics are practically the same as those of a standard minigun, but unlike it, it deals an additional 15 units of fire damage to the target.

Eddie's World

You can get this gun by completing the quest “It’s About Time,” given by Nick Valentine (the quest can only be started after studying Kellogg’s memories). The weapon is used by Eddie Winter, who you will have to fight at the end of the mission. The main thing is not to forget to search his body.

Quite a powerful revolver that can be modified. It is worth shooting at the limbs of opponents with it, as it deals 50 percent more damage to them.

Uzel Rifle

You can become its owner after completing the main story quest. Go to Sean and talk to him. He will ask you to bring him various items. Give them to your “son”, and then wait a day. After that, he will give you a powerful laser rifle that does not require ammo.

Fallout 4 sends you to explore the Commonwealth with some low-power 10mm pistol, which can only protect you from the invasion of radroaches, but nothing more. The game is progressing slowly. Gradually you will learn to survive, but it will take a lot of time before you find a serious weapon and a decent amount of ammunition for it.

We have prepared for you a list of the most popular and interesting unique weapons that you can find in full version Fallout 4, including the Far Harbor and Nuka-World expansions. Luckily, many of these options are easy to get your hands on relatively early in the game. And this, you see, will be a good help in exploring the dangerous corners of the Wasteland.

Kellogg pistol

This pistol has excellent damage and, despite the fact that you can find it quite early in the game, it will be useful throughout the story. Excellent ability to slow down opponents, decent range and accuracy - the Kellogg pistol is a kind of Magnum, which we are used to seeing in various action films.

In the VATS system, it becomes even more deadly due to the ability to replenish action points with critical shots. The ammunition used is .44 caliber cartridges. In most situations, you will need to save the pistol for special occasions. heavy fighting and for destructive attacks.

Kellogg pistol

After escaping their hideout, head to Diamond City and find Nick Valentine. Eventually, the quest "Reunion" will begin, where Dogmeat will lead you to Kellogg's lair by the smell of San Francisco Lights cigars. It is located inside the Fort Hagen building in the western part of the Commonwealth. He has a huge number of deadly guards in the form of synths. Additionally, he likes to use stealth combat to become invisible. So prepare yourself for a pretty serious battle. Probably, the clothes found on Kellogg will also be the best among all that you managed to find at this stage of the game.

Righteous Lord

As with the Kellogg pistol, we're talking about about one of powerful weapons in the early stages of the game. Luckily, unlike the same pistol, the Righteous Overlord will be powered by a regular nuclear battery, which you can find everywhere, especially when searching dead synths.

Critical attacks deal double damage and are especially useful in the VATS system. If you have good level good luck, then the pistol will go perfectly with the “Critical Damage” and “Critical Attack Bank” perks.

The appearance and characteristics of the weapon will be different for each player - they are randomly generated before receiving the pistol.

Cambridge Police Station

As you move south towards Diamond City, you will pick up a radio wave calling for help from the Cambridge Police Station. Follow the marker there to find an ambushed Brotherhood of Steel squad holding back the onslaught of ghouls. After you help them out, talk to the leader, Paladin Dance. He will ask you to collect some equipment from Arkjet Systems, a building filled with synths.

Righteous Lord

Fortunately, Paladin Dance himself will help you in this task. He wears power armor and wields this particular laser weapon. After completing the “Call to Arms” quest, Dans will generously reward the GG by providing that very weapon, and will also offer to join the Brotherhood of Steel. If you want to get the Knight's Armor, then regardless of whether you want to join the Brotherhood of Steel or not, visit the faction's airship with Dance.

Grognak's Ax

Various ammunition from frequently used weapons may be in short supply, so you will have to find an alternative good weapon close combat. This ax deals decent damage and causes bleeding. Nowhere is it mentioned that it has one of the lowest action point costs to attack through the VATS system.

Hubris Comics location

The ax is hidden in a locked display case (Hack Level "Master") behind the counter on the first floor of the Hubris Comics building, near the monkey. At first the building will be empty, but soon wild ghouls will appear. We recommend preparing carefully and perhaps throwing 1-2 Molotov cocktails at the back of the store when the enemies arrive.

Grognak's Ax

Vicious Power Knuckles

This melee weapon deals decent damage. Sneak attacks with it will allow you to destroy most average enemies.

Vicious Power Knuckles

In the middle of Boston Common there is a swan pond, on which there will be a huge mutant nicknamed the Swan. You will have to destroy it to get the weapon. This is not so easy to do if the difficulty level is higher than easy.

Swan Pond

Bring grenades and Molotov cocktails with you, and try to keep your distance throughout the battle. Confuse the Swan by running around the nearest tree, attacking with everything you have. A great option would be a rocket launcher. Search the giant's corpse to get a weapon.

Dreadful Shotgun

Most shotguns you'll find in the game have slow fire rates, slow reload times, poor range, and low magazine counts. The only exception is the Dread Shotgun. Firstly, its magazine can hold 32 rounds at once. It is also characterized by high damage, especially considering the range and special ability, which increases damage by 25% when shooting at limbs.

Libertalia

It is located in a raider settlement called Libertalia, on the water northeast of the airport. Look on the boat in the captain's cabin, it lies right on the box. If you decide to complete the Institute quest chain, you will be taken to this place by one of the quests. However, the Dread Shotgun can be picked up at any time!

Dreadful Shotgun

Savior

Despite the easy availability of 10 mm cartridges, finding a worthy use for them without knowing it is not so easy. A regular 10mm pistol is not the best option. But there is a pistol “Savior”. Higher accuracy and more efficient use of action points means that the weapon performs well in VATS, especially if you actively use it during battles. If you like to operate stealthily, then the silencer will be a nice bonus.

Silent "Savior"

To obtain weapons, follow the path of freedom to establish a connection with the Underground. Complete the "Undercover" quest with Deacon, which involves infiltrating an old Underground hideout. In gratitude, you will receive this pistol from the Deacon (more precisely, he will allow you to keep it).

If you like carbines, then you need the Warden's Guardian. Each shot is actually two bullets fired instead of one. One cartridge is consumed, but, on the other hand, you receive a penalty to accuracy.

Vault 81

This is a special combat carbine with which you can inflict absurd damage. Invest skill points in the Gun Fanatic and Marksman perks and this weapon will allow you to kill almost all the monsters you encounter in the Commonwealth in 1-2 shots.

Alexis Combs

Alexis Combs sells the rifle for 3,000 caps. The NPC is located in Vault 81, east of the city and south of the Beantown Brewery. The unique Vault 81 is an actual functional bunker in which medical research is conducted. To gain trust and gain access inside, you need to either hand them three nuclear blocks, or ask for help and win through your charisma during the conversation.

Overseer's Guardian

Big boy

The Big Boy is similar to the Fat Man heavy weapon, but is capable of firing two projectiles at once. But the best part about this is that you use up one nuclear mini-charge per shot, effectively releasing two - the legendary "Double-shot" property. These are rare and expensive shells, so such savings will be more useful than ever. When fighting super mutants, you should aim for their heads.

Big boy

You can buy this weapon from Arturo Rodriguez at the Diamond City Market. But it is VERY expensive! Start saving from the very beginning of the game if you want to get it as early as possible. It may be prudent to invest a few skill points in perks that improve trading efficiency.

Cryolator

The weapon is based on cryogenics technology, which takes you 200 years into the future. This weapon is capable of freezing your opponents. Essentially, it's the opposite of a flamethrower - you shoot at low and middle distance not with fire, but with cold.

Some tougher enemies may be completely immune to the Cryolator's effects. You will receive the weapon along with a decent supply of ammunition, but finding new ones will be extremely difficult.

Cryolator

On the other hand, the weapon itself is not so difficult to find - it is located in Vault 111, from which you escape at the beginning of the game, in the caretaker's office, where you activate the manual door controls on the computer terminal, on the table. Unlocking requires a high level of hacking skill, but there is a well-known trick that allows you to get a weapon. For this you will need Dogmeat.

Cryolator trick

As soon as you meet Dogmeat at the Red Rocket gas station, return to the shelter. Go to the small booth at the entrance to the shelter and press the small button inside it to call the elevator. As soon as he arrives, go inside and press the desired button. This way you will go down. Once inside, go to the caretaker's office, where the cage with the Cryolator is located.

Order Dogmeat to sit right in front of you by the locked cabinet in the cage with the Cryolator. Select the "Talk" action. Next, select “Search”, “Items” and Dogmeat will begin to bark, signaling that there is an object nearby. The weapon magically falls out of the locked container, which remains locked, and ends up in Dogmeat's mouth. Take it and about 200 shells.

Gun Lorenzo

Gamma weapons may be useless since most enemies in the Wasteland have radiation resistance. This pistol is the ultimate gamma gun with the added bonus of a telekinetic blast that will knock back and knock down your opponents just like a grenade. It's a fun, powerful, and completely unique effect that makes the weapon effective even despite its lower damage.

Gun Lorenzo

Lorenzo's Gun is one of the possible rewards for completing the quest chain for the Cabot family in the Cabot House, south of Bunker Hill. The quest “The Secret of the Cabot House” will take you to the basement psychiatric hospital Parsons in the northern part of the Commonwealth, where you have a choice. Help your son, Lorenzo, to return in about a week and pick up the pistol he made.

Extraterrestrial pistol

Every Fallout game has featured an alien blaster, a rare, compact, and powerful energy weapon of extraterrestrial origin. It deals massive damage, but uses special Alien blaster ammo, which you will find in quantities of no more than 400 along with the gun itself. If you max out the Science perk, you can modify the gun to run on nuclear batteries. This will reduce his damage!

Extraterrestrial pistol

There are many rumors and guides that supposedly tell why there is a disaster with the alien saucer from which you get the weapon. Many people believe that you need to visit Vault 75 and/or be at least character level 20. In any case, at some point in the game you will see a streak of light in the sky and hear noises that your companion can comment on. Unfortunately, it's very easy to miss a plate drop.

Once this happens, head to Oberland Station west of Diamond City and head northeast to the Beantown Brewery. Among the burning trees in the rocky area, you will find a broken alien plate. Follow the path of green blood into the "Cave with the Zetan", where you will find the wounded pilot. Kill him to get the weapon.

Shish kebab

Few weapons create a more intimidating effect than a flaming samurai sword. It literally starts to glow when you start swinging it in different directions. Please note that energy damage from flames cannot be increased by improving strength and melee attacks. Compared to previous Fallout games, where to use this sword you had to carry an entire backpack with a built-in fuel tank, this time the tank is located on the weapon itself.

Shish kebab

Unlike many of the other weapons we talk about in this article, the Shish Kebab can drop randomly from Legendary enemies. In this case, you will receive exactly the legendary version of the weapon!

Saugas Ironworks

If this does not happen, then go to Finch's farm in the northeast corner of the map. Abraham Finch will send you to the Saugas Ironworks location to obtain the family sword as part of the quest “Out of the Frying Fire and into the Fire”. You will receive it as a token of gratitude for completing the quest.

Kremva's tooth

It has long been known that the Fallout series has some references to the work of H. P. Lovecraft and in particular his Cthulhu mythos. This is especially relevant in Fallout 4, as many of Lovecraft's stories were set in fictional Massachusetts towns such as Miskatonic and Dunwich.

Jump into the well and find the weapon under the water. If you came here wearing power armor, then throw it off, otherwise it will get stuck in narrow passage at the bottom of the well and you won’t be able to get it out.

"Press and Pray"

This is a submachine gun that uses .45 caliber ammunition and is equipped with all sorts of advanced mods, including a silencer. It can be completely customized to suit your taste. The legendary Explosive attribute that makes the SMG so prized makes all rounds explosive, dealing 15 damage per shot.

The value can be increased using the Demolition Expert perk. But be careful, because your companions or even the main character may be in close proximity to the explosions.

Press and pray

Weapons can be purchased from the traveling merchant Cricket. If he hasn't set up shop in Bunker Hill, you can find him wandering around the Commonwealth, occasionally stopping in at Vault 81, Warwick Farm, and Diamond City. It is also very rare to find weapons from other merchants. It can drop from legendary raiders, which is even rarer.

Sergeant Ash (Far Harbor)

Not only does this nasty flamethrower come with standard modifications that increase damage and ammo capacity, but it also has a 20% increased chance of damage lower limbs enemies. And this will happen often, because the flamethrower high speed shooting, and this probability applies to each unit of ammunition. Thus, this weapon– an excellent option in the fight against crowds of raiders, super mutants, etc.

Sergeant Ash

Igor Patrin

The game has a wide variety of weapons. It’s extremely interesting – you can create anything. But it remains especially interesting in Fallout 4 legendary weapon. Let's figure out what it is and what it is like, where to find it legendary guns and is it possible to make them yourself?

What you need to know about legendary weapons in Fallout 4

How can you tell if a gun is truly legendary? It's important to know what these features are called in Fallout 4. The word that denotes the property will always come first. For example, if smoothbore pistol with a bolt is designated as “Incendiary”, then it will be called “Incendiary smoothbore pistol with a bolt”. In addition, there must be an asterisk next to the name.

Similar guns in Fallout 4 can be modified and improved. The peculiarity will not disappear from this. There is no way to remove it. Add a new one too.

Remember that “legendary” and “unique” are not identical concepts in Fallout 4. You can easily find a similar gun with the same property (for example, two incendiary shotguns).

Fallout 4 Legendary Weapon IDs

Unfortunately, the ID of the legendary item itself can be anything - after all, the property does not depend on the type of gun. You can easily come across an incendiary minigun or a deadly drone. Therefore, you will have to register non-unique legendary weapons in the console yourself.

In the case of unique “legendaries” everything is different. They have their own ID and have different names and characteristics. At the same time, the appearance coincides with the more common models (with the exception of Grognak's Axe).

Some extremely useful unique weapon models in Fallout 4 with legendary features and IDs for adding via the console:

Unfortunately, not all unique guns Fallout 4 can be added to your inventory via the console. They will appear, but they will not have a legendary property - only the name will remain from it. Therefore, some models like the Press and Pray SMG or the Big Boy rocket launcher are not included in the list.

You can use a cheat code to register legendary guns in your account without using an ID. a huge number. But, unfortunately, it is not possible to specify specific types and features. To do this you need:

Choose a place for the future spawning of things.
Open the console with the [~] button.
Enter code placeatme 1F8545.
Wait until the chest appears and begins to fill with legendary items.
Choose the best samples from everything that has appeared.

Items will appear randomly - a smoothbore, a minigun or a Fat Man may drop out. And the trunks and armor will spawn endlessly. Feature: the more dangerous the location, the better the set of things in the box.

What's the first weapon to collect in Fallout 4?

Pair useful tips for those who want to get the perfect legendaries and assemble the most successful set.

You can’t use “Irradiated” against ghouls! The damage from it will heal ghouls, for whom radiation is like a stimulant for the player. The Anti-Radiation feature works better against them.
For snipers, the best weapons would be “Liquidator” or “High-Precision” weapons. When using VATS, it is worth taking “VATS-compatible”.
But fans of rapid-fire and heavy weapons (like miniguns and Gatling lasers) will enjoy the “Fast”, “Explosive” or “Infinite” features.
"Cripple" is ideal for fighting large creatures (Death Claws, Beasts, etc.), which are important to immobilize with a shot in the leg before killing.
Weapons and armor with the “Cavalier” or “Defensive” features will allow you to completely protect yourself from physical or energy damage in certain conditions.

Where to find legendary weapons in Fallout 4

Unfortunately, it is impossible to do it yourself using legal methods. Legendary properties in Fallout 4 are legendary in order to be inaccessible to regular crafting. Therefore, you will have to suffer in search. There are three ways to get such guns in the game:

Knock out legendary enemies.
Receive as a reward for certain quests.
Register the legendary barrel in the console, that is, use cheats.

Not all legendary opponents carry similar weapons. They can carry a complete trifle - for example, simple raider armor with a legendary property. The more powerful the enemy and the higher the player’s level, the higher the chance of getting something useful from him. And a higher difficulty level increases the chance of a legendary opponent appearing in the location. Lifehack: set the difficulty level to “Very high” and save before entering the location, and then lower it to the required level.

A unique variant of a legendary weapon is given as a quest reward. For example, when completing the "Reunion" mission in Fallout 4, you can pick up a Kellogg Pistol, which has the "Tireless" property, or in the "Call to Arms" mission you can receive a laser carbine as a gift " Righteous Lord" with the feature "Happy". In addition, unique guns with legendary parameters can be found in caches and sold to traders.

The guide contains a list and short review the most effective weapon in the game. Everyone wants to shoot at the heads of mutants and other evil spirits from the wasteland in the most spectacular way, so that the gun is not like everyone else’s, and their brains fly in different directions. Now you will find out which weapons are the most interesting and where you can find them.

ABOUT shotgun for close and medium range

Sword "General Zhao's Revenge"

The most effective and beautiful weapon in the entire game. It can be purchased from the NPC in the Drumlin Restaurant location near the Freedom Museum. Be careful, when you appear a partially scripted battle will take place, try at all costs to ensure that the woman survives, because it is impossible to take a sword from a corpse.

D robovik "On Merit"

The most powerful shotgun that can generally be found in the wasteland, and when improving it various modifications can turn almost into a weapon of mass destruction. You can find it at medium levels. You can buy a shotgun for 399 caps in the Alliance settlement shop.

In an unearthly pistol

A real weapon of the “little green men”, it’s not in vain that Firaxis postponed the release of XCOM until next year and was embarrassed to release simultaneously with Fallout 4, it seems that this joke was intended just for them. If most guns can be found in the wasteland several times, then this weapon is truly unique; if you pass by, you will not find it anywhere else.

You need to activate the flying saucer fall script by completing the main task for shelter 75, it is located next to high school Maldena. Get to the "Forest Grove" location in the west of the map, follow the road until you come across a red freight car. As you pass by, you will hear a noise, look at the sky - the noise is made by a falling cosmic body. Follow him.

When you find the ship, look for trails of green slime, follow them and you will find an inconspicuous cave. Inside is an alien pistol. It deals 60 damage with 100 speed, 119 range and 73 accuracy. It weighs 2.5 kilograms. You can sell it for a bag of caps.

Rio-gun "Cryolator"

The weapon that freezes enemies lies in the same place where you come to your senses after a long suspended animation. It is unlikely that you will be able to get it right away; it is locked under a lock that requires expert hacking skills.

Launcher "Khlamotron"

One of the most fun weapons of destruction in this part of the game. Something like the gravity gun from Halflife. With its help, you can shoot at the enemy with deadly speed all the junk that has accumulated in your backpack. A sort of bonus to joining the Brotherhood of Steel. The junktron is located on the table of the Arcjet Systems control room, where you find yourself with Dance.

Laser rifle "Righteous Lord"

This weapon is given to you by Dance after completing the Brotherhood of Steel quest. At the end of the game, you will probably take it apart for parts, but while the game has just started, this is a good help for fighting respawning opponents, various scum of humanity and radioactive miscarriages.
