From Bethesda Game Studios, “Fallout 4” is many gamer’s favorite action role-playing video game with an impressive setting and plot.
“Fallout 4” is set within an open-world post-apocalyptic environment that breathes gaming life into Boston and the surrounding region in the Massachusetts state known as “The Commonwealth.” As you explore around, you will see several landmarks from the real world, such as Fort Independence, Bunker Hill, and the Old North Bridge near Concord.
The game’s story happens in the year 2287, 10 years after the events in “Fallout 3.” Gamers assume control of a character called “the Sole Survivor.” The Sole Survivor emerges from a long-term cryogenic stasis in an underground nuclear fallout shelter known as Vault 111. This character witnesses the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their son, so he embarks on a journey into the Commonwealth to seek justice and, possibly, revenge.
Being an action-packed game, sure, “Fallout” has several battles. For you to emerge victor from these skirmishes, you need the best weapons. Here’s the ranking of the game’s best and most dynamic weapons.
1. Kellogg’s Pistol
Kellogg’s Pistol – yes, named after the famous cereal brand – packs a very dynamic punch. Even though it is obtainable way earlier in the game’s main storyline, it is still relevant throughout.
And since it features staggering and fantastic stopping power combined with its decent range and accuracy, this pistol is a great choice. Plus, the ability to refill your Action Points on a critical hit makes this weapon far more deadly in the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, too.
But there’s a catch. Kellogg’s Pistol requires .44 rounds of ammunition. Though distant from being ordinary, its ammo scavenging perk is helpful. Save this gun for really rough and intense battles, as well as devastating sneak attacks.
2. Splattercannon
Another powerful weapon you must have in “Fallout 4,” especially among players with the Nuka-World DLC, is the Splattercannon. For those who failed to complete the dialogue check with Mason, the “alpha” of the Pack in the DLC, and get their hands on The Problem Solver, this weapon will do you well.
Each consecutive shot it does deals considerable damage on the same target, making this among the best handmade rifles in “Fallout 4” and really a solid choice.
3. Righteous Authority
Could it pick a better name? This weapon is terrific. Similar to Kellogg’s Pistol, players can also find this weapon earlier in the game. But, unlike Kellogg’s Pistol, it depends on the far more standard fusion cell to function, which are everywhere once you begin to battle synths.
Critical hits from Righteous Authority do double damage – yes – and are ready more frequently, making this really valuable in Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. And if you are fortunate enough, this weapon stacks wonderfully with the Better Criticals and Critical Banker perks to unleash hot justice.
4. The Last Minute
It may sound like last-minute Christmas or New Year shopping, but this powerful weapon in “Fallout 4” is very different. It is a distinctive Gauss rifle that inflicts an additional 50 percent damage to your enemy’s limbs. Yes, that exact.
It also ranks among the best energy weapons in this action role-playing game. The Last Minute is beneficial when a herd of Deathclaws is chasing you. Shots to their legs will save the day.
5. Grognak’s Axe
Not a gun, Grognak’s Axe is the next best option if the usual kinds of ammo you rely on are in short supply. That said, even if you are not after a strength-based brawler, owning a reliable melee weapon like this axe is always a great idea.
Don’t underestimate Grognak’s Axe, as it also does severe damage. Plus, the staggering it causes is very useful if a player needs to fight their way out of an intensely rough spot.
6. Le Fusil Terribles
A little bit of French, eh? Le Fusil Terribles, also a term that translates to “The Terrible Rifle,” truly lives up to this name. This powerful shotgun carries with it a special effect that causes 25 percent additional damage to enemies in general, aside from the limb damage it inflicts.
Furthermore, depending on your aiming prowess, it also features a much more tremendous recoil, potentially directly upwards. Though this makes handling it a bit annoying, it still is one of the best shotguns in “Fallout 4.”
7. Furious Power Fist
Next is Furious Power Fist. This nasty piece of weapon does a whopping 57 damage – something that you cannot have with other weapons – which even increases the more a player hits the same victim. Using this for sneak attacks will also obliterate enemies.
Sure, it may weigh less, but it is an absolute upgrade from Grognak’s Axe, primarily if you can obtain this weapon.
8. Wastelander’s Friend
What’s with all these names, right? They’re all so interesting! Next up is Wastelander’s Friend, not fiend. While some gamers consider this weak from a visual standpoint, it is handy. This is a standard 10-millimeter pistol that features a super long extended magazine.
This magazine gives Wastelander’s Friend an ammo capacity of 24 (up from 8), and that’s three times as many rounds prior to reloading. The weapon also includes various other mods like a recon shape and grip.
9. Deliverer
Deliverer is another 10-millimeter ammo you will love, like Wastelander’s Friend. Its uses are top-of-the-line. The increased accuracy and more efficient use of Action Points only means it is promising in Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, especially if you want to take advantage of its perks. The suppressor is likewise a nice bonus if you prefer to get a little sneakier.
Indeed, “Fallout 4” is a game with a myriad of weapons you can choose from. To help you land on the right choice, take a look at the list above. They beat the rest in terms of power and destructive ability.
