Fallout New Vegas Rifles

Throughout the many hours spent playing Fallout, the need to find bigger and better weapons always lingered. With over 500 hours of experience on the last two installments of the series (Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas) I have seen pretty much all the Wasteland can throw at you, whether it\'s much needed Stimpaks sneakily tucked away in the corner of a destroyed toilet or running into the Legendary Deathclaw for the first (and last time) whilst running away from three other members of his family.

Fallout Weapons Top 10

To survive the many challenging obstacles ahead of you a varied arsenal of weapons will be required, in no particular order and in my opinion, the best weapons to help you through your travels in the Wasteland. Without further ado, I present to you Top 10 Fallout Weapons.

10. Fisto! (Fallout 3)
Firsto! is a unique variant of the pneumatic Power Fist that is more durable and deals higher base damage than the standard model. It can be found in the upper area of the derelict power plant right across from MDPL-13 power station, next to a terminal on a desk. This is northwest of Minefield. Inside the power plant are multiple feral ghouls, and, depending on your level, you may also encounter multiple feral ghoul roamers, glowing ones and, with Broken Steel installed, feral ghoul reavers. This Fallout weapon will be in poor condition (~20%) when found.

Fisto! is a handy (pardon the pun) weapon to possess in the Wasteland, especially for players with lower character levels that lack caps or find themselves with limited ammunition.

9. BlackHawk (Fallout 3)
Like the standard scoped .44 magnum, Blackhawk is a powerful, accurate sidearm. It deals more damage than a sniper rifle, and holds a single bullet more. It has no recoil when looking down the scope and firing. You obtain the weapon from Agatha (her house can be found west of the Scrapyard and northeast of Meresti trainyard), after completing the quest \'Agatha\'s Song\' and giving her the sheet music book, but you have to ask for a reward to obtain the revolver.

Who doesn\'t love wandering the wasteland holding a 44. Magnum like Clint Eastwood? Do you feel lucky, Raider? Well, do ya?

8. Lincoln\'s Repeater (Fallout 3)
Lincoln\'s repeater is a very high-powered lever-action rifle, dealing 25 more damage than the hunting rifle. It lacks a scope, but accuracy at long range can be maintained by ignoring the bugged scope auto-aim. It also has three times the ammunition capacity of the hunting rifle and is very effective at long range in V.A.T.S. Lincoln\'s repeater can be found in the Museum of History. To obtain it, enter the Museum of History, go through the lobby and enter the room with the statue of a wooly mammoth, left of the skull hanging over the entrance to Underworld.

7. The All-American (Fallout: New Vegas)
The All-American is the unique variant of the semi-automatic Marksman carbine with woodland camouflage, a magazine capacity of 24 and a higher magnification scope. It also bears the distinctive 82nd \'All-American\' Airborne division insignia.

It is highly accurate, reliable and powerful with its fast rate of fire, making it one of the most versatile weapons in the game. This versatility includes the wide range of 5.56mm ammunition types; players should make sure to stock up on different 5.56mm variants to utilize this weapon to its full potential.

Personally, as a result of its versatility I find myself using this gun as the ammo is easy to acquire and is very durable for long missions within and out of the Mojave.

6. Vengeance (Fallout 3)
Vengeance has one of the highest DPS (Damage Per Second) ratings of all automatic weapons in Fallout 3, and can handily slaughter most opponents. Like all Gatling lasers, it runs on electron charge packs.

Vengeance can be found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary, which is located in a mountain, west of Paradise Falls near the Potomac, and southwest from Fort Constantine, right next to Broadcast tower KB5. The sanctuary outside has a small number of deathclaws, and around ten reside in the sanctuary itself. There is also usually an Enclave outpost close to the entrance, so beware. Vengeance can fire a total of about 3,000 beams, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

5. Minigun (Fallout 3 & New Vegas)
The Mini-gun is a multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire, employing Gatling-style rotating barrels. It was a standard military weapon before the Great War, with Rockwell\'s CZ series being the most popular choice in the United States.

It is widely used by many factions such as the Super Mutants, Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, due to its extraordinary firepower at close range. This weapon is extremely useful when swarmed by enemies due to its high fire rate, not many enemies will be left standing after you empty the linked ammunition. Perhaps, only Liberty Prime, a super mutant Behemoth or the Predator (yes, the one from the movie) can survive such a barrage of bullets at a close range.

4. Mercy (Fallout: New Vegas)
A veritable relic, Mercy is a pre-War US Army automatic grenade launcher that was apparently used by one of the US Army\'s counter-insurgency units hunting Chinese Hei-Gui commandos in the American southwest. Presumably during this period, one of its operators spray-painted \'Hei Gui Bye Bye\' on the chassis. At an undetermined time, it was obtained by the Brotherhood of Steel and continued to serve as a weapon, eventually ending up in the hands of a Paladin in the Mojave chapter. It was lost when its operator was killed while exploring Dead Wind Cavern.

BEWARE! This location host several deathclaws including the Legendary Deathclaw, which can be a real challenge for even the most hardened Fallout player, as its damage is much greater than any average deathclaws. This can result in even a level 30+ player dying as a result of one hit from the Legendary Deathclaw, little wonder as to why the name of the gun is \'Mercy\', as it offers you just that in a time of need, although its last owner did not share the same fate nor luck as your character.

Mercy can fire a total of about 2,500 standard rounds of 40mm grenades, the equivalent of 140 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

3. Anti-Material Rifle (AMR) (Fallout: New Vegas)
The Anti-Material Rifle makes this list as it is one of the better sniper rifles available in the game. This unique version of the sniper rifle is especially lethal against targets who possess strong or heavy armor and has a various range of bullets which can be used to kill your opponent, such range includes, standard, armor piercing, explosive and incendiary rounds.

This weapon is especially useful for players who wish to acquire NCR Ranger armor from an NPC without having to deal with the consequences of their actions. The AMR comes in handy as its incredible long range and accuracy allows players to sneak attack NCR Rangers from a distance of over 100 yards which almost always results in a one-hit-kill without a loss of Karma or Reputation with the New California Republic. Due to your character being well out of eyesight it\'s as simple as walking up to the dead NPC and taking his NCR Ranger armor.

Additionally, its .50 MG ammunition is very uncommon, very expensive, and is heavy if carried in bulk in hardcore mode; a full magazine weighs two pounds without the Pack Rat perk, and one pound with the perk. When fired from the hip (without aiming), the resulting recoil from the weapons large caliber will result in the user being pushed backwards (evident in third-person view).

2. Firelance (Fallout 3)
The Firelance is a unique variant of the Alien Blaster. This weapon packs an astonishing 100% critical chance and damage, like its basic twin model, this unique weapon uses the same rare alien power cells as the Alien Blaster. Therefore carefully using your ammunition for tough battles or sticky situations is recommended for this weapon. The Firelance can fire 63 shots, the equivalent of 7 reloads, from full condition before you can throw it away.

1. Experimental M.I.R.V (Fallout 3)
Surprise, surprise! #1 is the Experimental M.I.R.V, a modified Fat Man launcher which can be located in the National Guard Depot roughly northeast of the Vault-Tec Headquarters. This weapon deals the most damage in any Fallout game and is capable of firing up to 8 mini nukes at a time. It is an unbelievably impressive complement of weaponry, an absolute death machine.

The Experimental M.I.R.V can fire a total of 63 shots, around 500 mini-nukes before repair is required.

Honorable Mention

Euclid\'s C FinderM (Fallout: New Vegas)
The Archimedes II orbital laser releases a huge amount of heat energy, capable of reducing many foes to ashes. In order to use Euclid\'s C-Finder, the player\'s character must complete the quest \'That Lucky Old Sun\' and choose to direct power to Archimedes II at the end of the quest. The weapon can only be used once every 24-hours in-game, due to the recharge time of the lasers. This therefore is a good weapon to take down the bigger, stronger enemies within the game.

Euclid\'s C-Finder is not a weapon in its own right, but rather a targeting device, or \'range finder,\' for the Archimedes II orbital laser platform. Euclid\'s C-Finder inflicts 0 damage on a direct hit to a target, with all the damage coming from the blast caused by the Archimedes II orbital laser strike. This also makes Euclid\'s C-Finder inoperable when fired indoors.

This ends our Top 10 Fallout Weapons list. Within MY list is a varied category of weapons to suit every Fallout fan, although this will not be statistically the best or most powerful weapons in Fallout, they are in my opinion very reliable in making life easier when facing the harsh realities of life in both the decaying Capital Wasteland and the blistering Mojave Desert.

The Top Ten

1Anti-Material Rifle

There\'s nothing better in a FPS than getting a one shot kill with a bad ass sniper rifle. THis is one of the only guns int the game that will grant you that awesomeness.

This gun is for slaying not wounding

\'Have you seen what one of those anti-materiel rifles can do to a deathclaw? \'
Oh yes I have, and it\'s beautiful. Love this rifle and everything about this awesome game. Fallout: New Vegas is spectacular!

No explanation need

2Fat Man

Let me tell you something how can you vote for the anti material rifle when you can watch the fat man and it\'s ragdoll effect.

Although it seems better in Fallout 3, its still overpowered in New Vegas.

Man: Wait, what\'s that in the sky? HOLY CRA- *explodes*

Two words: HOLY CRAP!

3A Light Shining In Darkness

Comes from the majestic Joshua Graham after he dies. It rips death claws to pieces. It has a seemingly never ending amount of critical hits. It\'s modeled after the 1911. And it fires faster than Automatic Riflea.. enough\' said!

It’s a special 1911 must there be more

4Oh Baby!

Probably the most overpowered melee weapon in the game.

Hit\'s hard, and easy to get, for me best melee weapon.

Easily slaughter the legion with this

It takes a while to get but worth it

5Ranger Sequoia

Amazing revolver that will erase your enemies head.

I use it a lot but there\'s not a lot of ammo for it in any trading post? gun runners.

Because headless Deathclaws are prettier.

6All American

A b*tch to get to in Vault 34, but an overpowered Marksman Carbine.

-great way to pick off golden geckos

The all American is really awesome but hard to get

7Ballistic Fist

One hit anything in the wasteland! How can you not like it!

awesome

8Holy Frag Grenades

Can take out the Alpha death claw with just one of them. To bad there are only three ):

9Brush Gun

Basically an overpowered hunting rifle. (Sorry I keep the using the word overpowered)

Why is this gun so low on the list? It\'s the best all-around gun and is stronger than the AMR.

Brush rifle

10Alien Blaster

An extremely powerful weapon that is second only to the Anti-Material rifle.

Can only be obtained with the Wild Wasteland trait.
Totally worth it.

The Contenders

11Lucky

Favorite sidearm for sure. Really cool looking and it has critical chance. High rate of fire and really awesome reload animation. Great gun.

12.44 Magnum Revolver

With all the mods, this is a powerful, durable and very effective gun.

13That Gun

So easy to get and still so good

Bamboo fun cth-661 driver for mac. You mean that Boi

This gun carries me from level 5-26,plus it is free if you have 25 lock-pick and don\'t mind a little bad karma,and allows the use of 5.56 ammo on a pistol only build allowing a little ammo versatility,at the same time you can get Boone and the first recon beret in the same town,making it stronger due to its bonus to critical hit chance already.

14Archimedes II

How the heck is this gun not even on the list!? Archimedes 2 is the single greatest gun in this entire franchise. It is an absolute joy to use and was a brilliant idea. First place. Ps. If you don\'t know what it is, YouTube it!

It\'s a bit glitchy but can easily be fixed. I agree with the other guy, how is this not first? It has unlimited ammo, massive blast radius, ungodly damage, disintegration chance and it also looks cool! Best super space laser ever!

I didn\'t initially put this one on the list because, while it is arguably the most powerful weapon in the game, you can only use it once a day.

Doesn\'t firing down explosives from the sky sound fun? We\'ll its possible just by it from the kid in freeside, and complete Archimedes II quest

15Plasma Caster

Might be the best energy weapon in the game.

16YCS/186

The damage and range makes up for the single shot only, my
Favorite unique.

A shotgun that is a energy weapon impresed

17Holorifle

Perhaps the best weapon out of every dlc ever

Most ammo efficient weapon of them all, and the best thing to come out of the Dead Money DLC.

19Mysterious Magnum

A badass revolver that plays the mysterious stranger\'s theme whenever it\'s drawn or holstered. Very nice looking and powerful.

Kill the lonesome drifter towards the beginning of the game for it. Worth it.

20Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle

-with the right perks it can take down almost anything with just one shot

With the right stuff you can pump up the critical hit chance to 100%! That\'ll give it around 250 damage!

Better than the anti-material rifle

Looks anazing and is way better than the anti-magerial rifle

2112.7 mm SMG

The 12.7mm submachine gun is really nice looking, effective and powerful. Favorite!

Best SMG in the entire game.

Very good in any situation. Ammo is hard to find but is worth it!

The underdog SMG. basically enormous DPS and decent fire rate, with good luck can go better than many weapons in this list.

22Riot Shotgun

Best shotgun in the game.

Good weapon for any encounters.

23This Machine

For sure the best gun in the game.

\'U.S. Rifle, Caliber.30, M1\'.. M1 Garand. Great all rounder. Semi-Auto, very wide variety of ammunition types, useful against everything. Perfect for Survival difficulty when you\'re trying to cut weight from having too many weapons and ammo types.

M1 Garand

24Tri-Beam Laser Rifle

After mods from gun runners DLC it is very good. Good damage (+DT with max charged), good speed (DPS), low weight, good ammo capacity. Very good from medium to low range.

25Tesla Beaton prototype

Picks off the toughest enemies in the game with 1 shot with the right perks

This gun is great even with the small price

26Dinner Bell

This gun is a pain to get but pays off EXTREMELY. Especially if you use a good load a magnum buckshot with shotgun surgeon and and stay back perks. The magnum buckshot/slugs makes this gun is one of the very few things a full sized death claw in the divide fears.

With the right shotgun perks this weapon is unstoppable

28Q-35 Matter Modulator

My Energy Weapon of choice. Really, you could do better with Elija\'s Advanced LAER, but for the base game without DLC, best non-heavy Energy Weapon.

29Elijah\'s Advanced LAER

So good! How is this gun so low?

31Knock Knock

Nothing more badass than a giant axe to purify wasteland with. Great for wasteland themed characters too.

\'Knock, knock! \'
\'Who\'s there? \'
\'YOUR DEATH! \'

34Ratslayer

Use this weapon with the Bloody Mess perk and you got yourself an amazing sniper rifle to use until you replace it

An early reliable weapon

38Maria

So much pleasure was put into taking this off Benny\'s beautiful corpse

41Laser RCW

With the required skills this is an excellent weapon which has amazing accuracy and range. Really high rate of fire that lets you take down enemies quickly. The mod for it that replenishes a shot after every 4 shots are used is really good.

42Light Machine Gun

That light machine gun doe

Very good gun from medium to point blank. Very good DPS, big ammo capacity. And very fast reload, if you ever need it. My personal favorite against cazadores and nightstalkers.

A really good gun, and without a doubt fun to use, though a b*tch to get ammo for, but who cares? It\'s a Light Machine Gun!

43Annabelle

Just Out of this world Missile Launcher, it goes ham

44Gatling Laser

An overpowered beast tears through deathclaws like paper

45Debug Megapistol

Sorry but this is for pc players only the Debug megapistol is a 9mm pistol that does heavy damage Although you can\'t actually get it in the game (without console commands) it does 9999 damage and can 1-shot anything and has a ammo capability of 1120 rounds and uses 9mm round as ammo and can be reloaded 87 times before breaking and can be repaired with other 9mm pistols.

47Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun

This weapon tears up lightly armored targets and ammo is so easy to obtain.

48Chances Knife

Available early and a beast for crit builds. Also stab stabbity stab!

49MF Hyperbreeder Alpha

Really people?! An automatic, high damage laser gun with a 2x crit chance and INFINITE AMMO! How is this not top 10?!
