5. Gatling Plasma (Best for Heavy Gunner Builds)

This is a top dog gun. The feeble players may say it's too overcompensate. Truth be told, it's a gun for the epic players and not everyone has the equipment to use it right. It's a popular choice for those who like a huge clip.

Item Stats

Clip: 500
Ammo: Plasma Core, Ultracite
Weight: 18
Level: 30, 40, 50
Damage: 43, 50, 58
Accuracy: 41

What the Gatling Plasma excels in:

Massive Ammo capacity
Great range
Big bosses like scorchbeast queen

4. Automatic Laser Rifle (Best Commando Builds)

A utility weapon that's good for just about anything. You can run quests and some events easily. This may not be as effective in damaging scorchbeast, but it eats ghouls and robots for lunch. Ammo is super easy to come by if you kill a lot of robots you can normally get back more than you use.

3. Alien Disintegrator (Best for Explosives Build)

1. Plasma Caster (Best for V.A.T.S Heavy Gunner Build)
