The Commonwealth in “Fallout 4” is home to a ton of weapons for players to collect. Some of these weapons are more powerful than the others, but they are harder to obtain as well. However, if the player works hard enough, they’ll be treated to a fairly powerful weapon.

Some of the unique weapons in “Fallout 4” are found in specific locations. There are others that are even rewarded during quests.

Some of the weapons are easy to bypass, so players should be keen on searching every nook and cranny in the Commonwealth. Here’s a short list of some of the best weapons in “Fallout 4,” as detailed by Gosu Noob.

  • Alien Blaster Pistol - Found in a crash site near Oberland Station. Players must follow a trail of green blood near the crashed spaceship. They’ll be led to a cave in which they’ll fight an alien carrying the weapon.
  • Broadsider (Cannon ball launcher) – Rewarded to the player for siding with the robots at the quest line for the USS Constitution
  • Cryolator (Rifle) – In a shelf near the Overseer’s office in Vault 111. It’s locked behind a shelf with a Master lock but players can get it early on in the game if they take Dogmeat to the location and command him to search for items.
  • Junk Jet – Obtainable in the basement of Arcjet Systems during the Call to Arms quest
  • Kellog’s Pistol – Lootable from the body of Kellog after killing him in Fort Hagen
  • Le Fusil Terribles (Shotgun) – At the top of the overturned ship in the east section of the Libertalia
  • Lorenzo’s Artifact Gun (Gamma gun) – Given after a wee by Jack Cabot if the player decides to kill Lorenzo during the Cabot House quest line

  • Righteous Authority (Energy Rifle) – Received as a reward after Call to Arms quest
  • Survivor’s Special (Energy Rifle) – Can be looted or stolen from Paladin Brandis in Recon Bunker Theta during the Lost Patrol quest

There are literally tons of weapons to collect in the Commonwealth. However, those who want to nab a few powerful ones and are willing to spend a few caps can also buy some weapons from vendors within the Commonwealth. Here are some of them:

  • Big Boy (Mini-nuke launcher) – Can be purchased from a vendor in the Diamond City Marketplace
  • Old Faithful (Energy gun) – Can be purchased from a vendor in the Diamond City Marketplace

  • Tinker Tom’s Special (Sniper Rifle) – Can be bought from Tinker Tom inside the Railroad HQ

There are also melee weapons which are unique and powerful. These weapons don’t possess particularly high attributes, but they do have strong varying effects to them.

  • Furious Power Fist – Can be looted from Swan who can be fought in Swan’s Pond to the right of Diamond City
  • Grognak’s Axe – In an advance locked weapon’s shelf in Hubris Comics found north-east of Diamond City

It is worth noting that the list above is incomplete. It does, however, show majority of the unique weapons found in the Commonwealth, so players should explore more during their playthrough of the game. Some of these weapons are more powerful than the rest. Digitaltrends has also provided a list of weapons that are really worth getting.
