1 - BALLISTIC WEAPONS
1 - THE DELIVERER

STATS - Perfect for users who want to play stealthily this weapon comes with a pre installed silencer. Furthermore, it improves VATS hit chance, and costs 25% less action points.

HOW TO FIND - This weapon is awarded to those who complete the quest 'Tradecraft' for the Railroad found in 'Old North Church'.

2 - LE FUSIL TERRIBLES

STATS - Being the french tranlsation of 'The Terrible Shotgun' in reference to the combat shotgun found in a deathclaw cave in Fallout 3 this obliterates raiders and super mutants with 25% extra damage and limb damage, with a penalty of extra recoil.

HOW TO FIND - In the coastal raider camp 'Libertalia' the shotgun can be found after fighting through the raiders until you reach the captain's cabin, it is inside a box straight ahead from the quarters' entrance next to a lantern. Alternatively, the weapon can be found after the cut scene with X6-88 during the quest 'Synth Retention' during the Institute quest line.


3 - THE OVERSEER'S GUARDIAN

STATS - Simply a combat rifle with a short barrel and the ability to shoot 2 bullets for 1 round, it also comes with a night-vision scope.

HOW TO FIND - This can be bought from the merchant Alexis Combes at the depot store in Vault 81 for a costly 3936 bottle caps.

4 - SPRAY N' PRAY

STATS - The weapons comes with various improvement mods most notably the supressor, a change to .45 rounds and then the grail of the weapon is of course the explosive rounds mod which grants each shot with 15 points of area of effect explosive damage on impact.

HOW TO FIND - A very tough to find weapon with no defined area to find, your best bet is to check inside Bunker Hill or outside of Vault 81, Warwick Homestead or Diamond City for a wandering merchant named Cricket for a hefty amount of caps.
2 - ENERGY WEAPONS
5 - ALIEN BLASTER PISTOL

STATS - Showing relatively high damage and rate of fire this alternative to the laser pistol is very effective for wiping out enemies using alien blaster rounds, but with the help of perks swapped to fusion cells.

HOW TO FIND - East of Oberland Station you will find some burnt trees and a crashed ship, follow the blood trial found by the alien to a small cave and well, I'll let you see what happens next.

6 - CRYOLATOR

STATS - Similar to a flamethrower gun, but instead of fire shooting ice this unique weapon allows the user to freeze most enemies for a few seconds.

HOW TO FIND - This can be found right in vault 111 where you start, but behind a master lock, so it is recommended you come back later when you're a higher level to pick this up.

6 - PROTOTYPE UP77 “LIMITLESS POTENTIAL”

STATS - Essentially a normal laser rifle, with the exception of an unlimited clip meaning you'll never have to reload.

HOW TO FIND - First go to University Point, then around to the back entrance of the University Credit Union shown by the big hole in the wall. First use the novice terminal to gain entrance through the door. Next you'll want to enter the vault door you'll see a room with some safes in it. On the 2nd row up there will be a safe with a master lock on it which needs to be opened and the button inside should be pressed. Now all you have to do is enter and pick up the weapon from the table ahead.

3 - HEAVY WEAPONS
7 - ASHMAKER

STATS - This is a unique variant of the minigun that inflicts an extra 15 damage with the ability to set enemies on fire.

HOW TO FIND - First you need to find Bobbi in a back alley in Goodneighbour and start the quest 'The Big Dig'. At the end of the quest you will have to decide whether to betray Bobbi or kill Farenheit. If you betray Bobbi, Farenheit will reward you with it. Or if you kill Farenheit you can take it from her body.

8 - BIG BOY

STATS - An alternative version to the Fat Man, but with a two shot mod allowing two mini nukes to be shot instead of one giving it potentially one of the highest damage in the game.

HOW TO FIND - Simply it can be bought from Arturo in Diamond City for a hefty price.

9 - BROADSIDER

STATS - A portable naval cannon.

HOW TO FIND - After competing the quets 'Last Voyage of the U.S.S Constitution' if you do not side with the scavengers you will be rewarded with this weapon from Captain Ironsides. Otherwise it is unattainable.

10 - JUNK JET

STATS - Similar to the Rock-It Launcher from Fallout 3, the Junk Jet fires any item manually loaded into it from the junk section of your inventory.

HOW TO FIND - Inside of ArcJet Systems rocket control room reached by the hacking of an advanced terminal, the weapon is simply on the table.

Oh, and you're missing Final Judgement. Best Unique Heavy weapon, imo.

@ MrBenDavies - The Gatling Laser says "Hi."

what about kremvh's tooth :v and ash maker is not THAT good. Nor is it as hilarious as an explosive minigun which is what it SHOULD have been. Though then you could get a broken weapon really easily...

nice condensed weapons guide, shame i already knew about all of them. Great for new players though.

The Cryolator is a heavy weapon mate :P

Although I'd say just get rid of the "Heavy" Segrigation, all of the Heavies are technically ballisitic

Saw the guide's name and for a moment I thought you'd simply link to this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15139/? Makes unique weapons actually unique, not just named legendaries.

@ Max - Not if you mod it with a Sniper Barrel. Thing does work.

Ashmaker isn't as good as you make it out to be, unfortunately. As far as I know, Incendiary doesn't stack, unlike Wounding.
