We’ve created a guide that covers some of the best weapons - from high-powered rifles to ghoul-slamming melee weapons - in Fallout 4 as well as how their performance might affect your gameplay for the better. While more common weapons like the submachine gun, hunting rifle, or powerful G auss rifle will serve you well in the wasteland (especially if you add a weapon mod ), there are a few rare weapons in the game that you’ll want to get your hands on.
