Where to Find Every Unique Weapon in Fallout 4
Guns, guns, guns! You want ‘em, we got ‘em. Fallout 4’s Boston Commonwealth is littered with guns, explosives, and melee weapons dropped from enemies and tucked away in nooks and crannies. But some weapons stand out from the rest.
From explosive teddy bear launchers to flaming katanas, here are Fallout 4’s 50 most lethal weapons and how to get your hands on each and every one of them.
Those poor suckers won’t know what hit them.
50. Alien Blaster Pistol at UFO Crash Site
Batteries not included.
This gun is out of this world. Literally. You obtain it from an alien who crash landed its UFO. The crash site is southeast of Oberland Station. The injured alien is taking shelter in a nearby cave. Take the little guy out, and the blaster is yours!
Extraterrestrial sightings are a staple in the Fallout series. In every game, you can come across a bizarre UFO crash site and a hostile alien wielding a blaster straight out of Mars Attacks. In Fallout 4, you actually get to see the crashing saucer blaze across the sky.
The Alien Blaster Pistol fires slow-moving blue bolts and deals 50 damage. It boasts 100 fire rate, 119 range, 79 accuracy, a weight of 2.5, and a value of 1,551. While it uses alien ammo with limited availability, you can modify it to run on fusion cells with Science! maxed out.

47. Righteous Authority Awarded for “Call to Arms” Quest
Danse hands his guns out like candy at Halloween.

46. Railway Rifle in Big John’s Salvage

44. Pickman’s Blade Awarded for “Pickman’s Gift” Quest
Float like a butterly, sting like a bee.
The Pickman Gallery is a grotesque museum showing off visceral art and twisted pieces painted with blood. Inside you’ll find its resident, Pickman, being attacked by raiders (probably for a good reason). Save him, and he’ll give you the key to access his special blade.

Tommy Whispers was the Railroad’s top agent. He died fighting the Institute to the bitter end. It all works out for you, though, since you get to use his prized gun!

39. Broadsider Awarded for “Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution” Quest
Leave no battleship unsunk.
Fallout 4 may not have naval battles, but shooting actual cannonballs out of a 19th century cannon is the next best thing. This odd piece of artillery is given to you by an even odder crew of robots after you help them realize their dream of setting sail. Into a building.
Broadsider deals 108 damage with every impact and has 2 fire rate, 203 range, 63 accuracy, a weight of 27.4, and a value of 245.

Sick of super mutants stomping around like the own the place, leaving their gory meat bags all over, and generally just murdering everything that isn’t green? Then Virgil’s Rifle may be right for you! You just have to steal it from Virgil, first. It’s fine; he doesn’t need it.

Order up.
If you like to play scrappy, this rifle is perfect for you. The lower your health is, the greater the gun’s damage output becomes. To get it, just convince old Paladin Brandis to return to the Brotherhood of Steel. Or just, you know, grab it when he isn’t looking.

36. Zeta Gun in the Cabot House
Aww that tickles!
This gun is specifically modded to deal low radiation damage, but can be modified with a different part to restore its stats. The reason it’s outfitted with a limiter is most likely to generate non lethal levels of radiation to everyone but its intended target: Lorenzo. This weapon is a potential reward for completing “The Secret of Cabot House”.
Zeta Gun deals 10 radiation damage and 11.5 area of effect radiation and explosive damage. It has 66 fire rate, 119 range, 69 accuracy, a weight of 3.1, and a value of 156.

Zao’s Sword has the exact same stats as a Chinese Officer Sword. But it makes a great novelty item!
34. Old Faithful Sold by Arturo Rodriguez
Warning: Prone to frequent eruptions.

Ever heard the term “so hot it’s cold”? Nothing encapsulates that better than a flamer that shoots ice beams. You can find this weapon early on in the game, though it’s tucked away behind a master lock in Vault 111.
Read the files on the local terminal, and you’ll learn the overseer just had to have a freeze ray. Not only that, but he puts the residents of Sanctuary in cryogenic ice boxes? I swear he’s one ice pun away from being a super villain.
Cryolator deals 20 ice damage and costs 21 AP. It has 90 fire rate, 71 range, 66 accuracy, a weight of 13.2, and a value of 302. Each shot fires a spray of ice that freezes enemies to the spot. It eats up cryo cells fast, however, so use it strategically. No need to go crazy, Captain Cold.

Every Fallout fan is familiar with the comic series Grognak the Barbarian. Picking up an issue will grant you the strength of the mighty warrior himself. But did you know you can find his costume at the feral ghoul infested Hubris Comics?

31. Salvaged Assaultron Head in a Chest at Fort Hagen Hangar
Mind the disclaimer.
Requires the Automatron add-on. This strange weapon is a severed assaultron head that’s been fashioned into a devastating energy pistol. A single shot isn’t much to gawk at, but it can be charged like a laser musket to unleash a powerful pulse.

30. Junk Jet in the Control Room at ArcJet Systems
