Fallout 4: the best weapons at a glance
Fallout 4 challenges you with numerous dangers, but also equips you with the right arsenal. We'll show you the best weapons you can find in Fallout 4.
The best weapons in Fallout 4
Divided into the typical Fallout categories, there are a lot of good weapons waiting for you, which you should definitely include in your armory. We present the best:
- Energy weapons: The gamma pistol deals 100 points of radiation damage and also has an anesthetic and area damage effect.
- Small arms: The Gauss rifle deals around 110 points of damage. Each shot can be charged briefly for additional damage.
- Energy weapons: The plasma rifle generally does a lot of damage and can be upgraded to 120 points, which act as energy damage and ballistic. Very useful against most later opponents.
- Melee weapons: The Super Sledge is a gigantic, rocket-powered hammer that kills most enemies with just a few strikes.
- Heavy weapons: Gatling lasers and minigun do little damage per shot, but fire very quickly.
- Heavy weapons: The Fat Man fires small atom bombs and does massive damage. It is heavy and ammunition is rare, but it is worth it.
- Unarmed: As a pugilist you should forge your Death Claw Glove. This will ignore your opponent's armor.
