Fallout 4 - Gun Essential Guide & Basics 

Disappointing how the institute weapons are meant to be extremely high-tech, yet are the weakest laser weapons in the game

Worst thing about the junk gun....I need my junk to make my settlements!

So I found a flamer with a legendary effect of 10 cryo damage per shot... It's called the Freezing Flamer... Bethesda plz...

Pro tip: You can command dogmeat to get the cryolator for you. Just ask him if theres any items nearby when you are next to the weapon and he will fetch it for you. Im loving mine :)

"the Fatman is back, and the mini-nuke ammo is as scarce as ever" i call bullshit, loot respawns in certain enemy occupied places not to mention supermutant suiciders drop a mini-nuke if you kill them before they explode, they're quite easy to obtain now.

Anyone else think that that the Assault rifle looks like the offspring of an M249 SAW and a Lewis Gun?

The better have a huge "Gunrunners Arsenal" style dlc at some point, cuz this weapon selection is a bit...lacking.

The assault rifle looks like ass, I wish there were more variety.

Turn the Institute Rifle into a laser shotgun and it's a high rate of fire beast.

Honestly, i never use the junk jet now that junk has a use

"all guns can be modified" Flare gun:am I a joke to you..

you can buy cannon balls and cryogenic cells at most merchants

Only fusion cell pistols at level 41? *runs to college square at level 5 and lets dance do the work and get the righteous authority*

Maybe it's just because we were spoiled in New Vegas, but I wish there was a bit more variety with the weapons we have to choose from in Fallout 4. I know it's probably harder to do now that they have to make attachments with them now, but I'm kind of sad the combat rifle and assault rifle are the only assault rifle-type weapon choices, for example, and I really don't like the aesthetics of the fo4 assault rifle. I wish we could've gotten maybe the Service rifle and/or the Chinese rifle to add a bit more variety. The same thing goes for other classes of weapons. But hey, maybe we'll see them in a dlc.

10:33 only true fallout fans would know that that's one of the tips it tells you when loading

In which World a Gauss-Rifle is a "Energy-Weapon"? The Projectile it fires is clearly a ballistic projectile, and every wapon use any kind of "Energy" to fire its projectiles, so that cant be the point...

you can find a railway rifle in Johns scrapyard

I've got a Two-Shot Gauss rifle with all the trimmings. Best sniper rifle in the game by far. With a proper VATS sniper build, this one-shots almost anything including Ancient Behemoths and Mythic Deathclaws.

he forgot the flare gun

My favorite gun build is a long bracketed focused six-crank lazer musket with a long recon scope, or as I call it, the "Kentucky Long Rifle". A great alternate version, a short barrel scattered, is known as the "Blunderbuss".

Am I the only one that finds this selection kinda limiting ?

Such an incredible guide.

Great video, how about a melee weapon guide next?

Can I just say I love the video quality, great voiceover, interesting gameplay, and generally everything about this Chanel. Thanks so much mate. Please make more vids!

was I the only one rlly disappointed with the look of the assault rifle it looks like a first world war machine gun ffs why can't we have a Kalashnikov or slr style one like in fallout three

they need to add alot of the guns from fallout nv

One of the BEST FA4 vids to date. Enough humor to keep it interesting and LOADS of good information. You have a new subscriber!

Great video man! I learned a lot. Thanks for the tips. At first I was playing like Fallout 3 but I switched up my style due to this video.

I don't understand why they made the institute weapons sooo downgraded compared to the pre war lasers pistols.. The institute technology is supposed to be more advanced than pre war technology in every fields and ways, yet they can't even create a better laser gun than that of pre war guns still used by the BoS and the Enclave? Weird.

Hunting rifle all the way

definitely going to use this vid as a guideline. thank you and straightforward presentation with good demonstration

I named my .44 "Feelin' lucky punk?" after the movie "Dirty hairy" with Clint Eastwood.

I picked up a legendary weapon called "Spray'n'Pray" pretty early in the game. It's a silenced sub machine gun with explosive rounds that do 15 points area effect damage.. Overpowered as fuck. I actually stopped using it after a while because it was too easy to kill my opponents lol

Super disappointed there's no ammo crafting or weapon degradation

I'm here on my quarentine, in 2020, and this vídeos still useful. Just bought all FO4 DLCs to get miself entertained.

My favorite gun is the two shot combat rife/overseer's guardian. It's amazing with both the .308 and the powerful automatic receivers depending on whether you prefer an automatic or sniper rifle. :)

clip size... CLIP SIZE?!!

i really really love melee weapons in this game they do a *LOT OF DAMAGE*

I love the 10mm Auto Pistol, armor piercing, short barrel, sharpshooters grip, quick eject mag, glow sights, and muzzle break.

The Cryolator can be retrieved by using your dog. Go back into the vault with your dog and order him to stand next to the cryolator cabinet, then talk to the dog and ask him to retrieve, he will go up to it and pick it up without having to open up the locked cabinet. This retrieve function can get you some nice hidden items throughout the game as well. Not a bad idea to use ince in a while just in case there is something useful you missed.

Magazine not clip

There are 26 base weapons in game not counting melee and granades, which is super low as for a Fallout game, the mods are nice but 26 BASE ?? this is sh11t lazy bethesda

Thank you for making this video , just what I was looking for :)

I've been loving Le Fusil Terribles, perfect for all your CQC needs

I love that the pipe weapons use oil filters for silencers - It's actually a realistic make-shift way to silence a firearm. You can buy kits that will allow you to thread a firearm to easily mount an oil filter.

What does it mean that there are only fusion cell pistols until level 41?

My favourite pipe gun is an automatic pipe pistol with drum magazine and comfort grip. Surprisingly good actually, try it some day.

I have found the Railway Rifle (When I didn't know how to find the Railroad to do the quest.. yeah.. lol) while I kept walking along the broken tracks thrailing through the commonwealth. It was stashed inside a traincart. Probably a random find, but good luck huntin', it's very powerfull !

10:46. But you can use Dogmeat to bypass the locks. Just pointing out something you might have overlooked. If it isn't glitchy, it isn't Bethesda.

Fully upgraded, automatic overseers guardian with a silencer. (+sneak multiplier/commando perk) will mow down literally everything and anything with one mag

I got a unique Sub Machine gun at the start of the game called "Spray and Pray" and it basically did me for the rest of the game. It drained life like no bodies business. Killing even the heaviest enemies in practically no time.It had a special feature of causing explosions around where it hits. Causing potential splash damage in addition to the 60pts of damage per shot it was already doing. Combined with the high rate of fire, it was pretty devastating.

I was frustrated with lack of ammo on survival difficulty and always buying fusion cells for my auto laser. I made a new character using power armor and then eventually getting the gattling laser. That build is very fun and I never ran out of ammo once since I can buy fusion cores and find quite a few of them. The gun is surprisingly good on ammo and very powerful. Melee is also a good way to eliminate the ammo problem.

can't wait for dlc's and the creation kit to be released. We need millenia's weapons pack

"You have not lived until you've killed someone with a teddy bear." You took that straight off of one of the loading screen tips.

again at this point i'm binge watching your vids so i'm subscribing haha

The amount of work in this video . Thank u I enjoyed if

Personally I love my revolver rifle. it was originally a legendary pistol with an added bleeding effect, now I've named it dragonslayer as whatever it hits doesn't get back up

curse can u do a guide for companions

I remember first playing fallout4 and falling in love with the 10mm pistol and ugrading it all the time I loved it and it's now a super op pistol lol

enter the combat shotgun

Anyone have tips for getting 5mm ammo?

my favorite gunbuild is specified to a specific gun: the overseers guardian, it is a legendary gun that you can buy of the vendor in vault 81(the vault is located west of diamont city). its legendary perk is that it shoots 2 bullets for the price of one. w the rifleman perk it can cause around 160 damadge. because of its perk you can double this. im level 67 and normal difficult and im still using this amazing gun.

Pistols are the best bcuz there lightweight and you can have a different pistol for every ammo. Can have them all hot keyed and in inventory without weighing you down. Deliverer for 10mm, Kellogg’s Pistol for 44, a makeshift 38 pipe pistol, makeshift institute pistol for cells, plasma pistol, Alien Blaster and a makeshift 45 pipe pistol.

Stupid Theory: Bethesda got rid of the condition and repair system from Fallout: New Vegas, Because they wanted to distance themselves form Obsidian. (The Outer Worlds has the Condition and Repair system.)

There are only fusion cell pistol until level 41? Can someone explain that statement? It makes no sense no matter how many times I repeat it to myself. 5:50.

Great video! Favorited for later re watch.

Very informative. Thanks for the video.

even late in the game I am using a sub machine gun you can buy from the merchant Cricket called the spray 'n pray cause it makes every bullet explode on impact it's like having a mini rapid fire missile launcher

I have a plasma fire splitter rifle

this is kinda out of nowhere but I gotta hand it to whoever set this up because I'm loving how in depth this is

absolutely fantastic video!

If you get the "big boy" fat man from a diamond city vendor and mod it you shoot 12 mini nukes for the cost of one and it destroys everything !

Reba ii .50 cal

Thank you so much this is so helpful I'm subscribing and liking this video

At 2:22 the bolt action pipegun is the only way gunslinger's have access to .308 and.50 caliber rounds. I recommend using a short or medium scope (or a glowing reflex sight).

Why the fuck do they not have PAINT JOBS for your guns? Looking at you mods

Am I the only one here who likes the new weapon look?

Scrounger perk helps with the ammo problem (on the highest level you even find Fusion cores!!!), and the Railway Rifle can be found somewhere else too.

I gotta say, Guns and Bullets issue eight had to be my favorite design out of all the magazines

Cant say I'll miss the durability system.

why is everybody making such a fuzz about the deliverer? there are so much better 10mms around

I think an instigating Gauss Rifle is the holy grail of first-shot weapons, most Enemies die to a normal one in one sneak attack shot, and most anything else takes 2, or 3 if they're a legendary and they heal off your first shot.

This is the video that made me fall in love with fallout 4

Syringe rifle?! Canon Ball?! Rocket Launcher?! Flame Thrower?! Sniper rifle?! Revolvers?! Double Barrel Shotgun?! MINIGUNS?!!!!! *puts on blue clothing and puts on helmet that covers my eyes while grabbing rocket launcher * SCREAMIN' EAGLES!!!! *rocket jumps and grabs red briefcase after landing* This is my intelligence! (Let's see how many people can get this joke)

Fuck, im early. Go away, not making a joke

11:05 junkjet and gauss rifle were having a fight back there

i always use a silenced 10mm with a reflex scope, seems to deal the most damage in stealth at mid-range

I like the idea of crafting the laser musket into a 6 crank, short barreled, shotgun muzzled, futuristic blunderbuss kind-of thing.

the bolt action pipe gun makes for a good stealth pistol when given the 50 cal upgrade, supressor, and glow sights. it does the most damage for a suppressed pistol.

my favorite gun build is the pistol build as the this aided me in both new vegas and fallout4 it is still one of my hardest hitting guns and im currently a lvl 30+

thorough guy, well done and thank you

the Double barrel shotgun was is favourite gun, the the way it reloads means if you can get the limitless legendary effect on it the thing basically becomes a fast semi auto. and it carried me to level fifty before i realised the rifleman perks effects shotguns as well.

I've made myself a really sweet laser blunderbuss which is just a laser Musket with the max crank capacitor (to replicate the reload time), a short barrel, a beam splitter, glow sights & a full stock

Great vid, keep them up !

im recomending to pick those 2 perks that increase ammo found and caps found. its really useful

I love getting combat armor, fatigues, and a military colored power armor and parading around with combat rifles and a minigun like a pre war soldier. Really gets the nostalgia going.

superb guide! TY

the first laser muscat i got was when i was looking for kellogg and it was a legendary with the trouble shooters effect

i once found a ddouble barrle shotgun with the legendary perk that the entire ammo is in the clip at all time.....man i had fun with this baby. no reload and damage through the roof...beautiful.

That .38 pistol is highly underrated. Fully tricked, I loved it and still use it occasionally at 110.
