This page lists all weapons in Fallout 4.

• The content is not described in full detail on this page. For details, please see the respective articles.
• For weapons in other Fallout games, please see "Weapon".
• For an overview of Fallout 4 content, please refer to "Portal:Fallout 4."

 

Unlike previous installments, in Fallout 4, weapons fall under three classifications: Normal, legendary, and unique. Normal weapons have no special statistics on them whatsoever. Legendary weapons come with random bonuses applied to them, and are only dropped by legendary enemies. Unique weapons are weapons that are already named and will always retain the same special bonus. Uniques are typically either bought from merchants or are quest rewards. Normal and legendary weapons will change their name when mods are applied, unique weapons will not.

All stats are given with standard weapon modifications.

Legend
Cleanup (Issue: This legend is just copied from older games, but would need to be updated to reflect what is actually documented here.) To meet Nukapedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by improving the article.
- Damage: This information comes straight from the G.E.C.K. and shows the damage caused by a single click of the mouse/trigger. For most small guns, that's a single bullet, but for shotguns it's a single shell (containing several small pellets), and for the Gatling laser it's a single beam. This stat is most useful for comparing semi-automatic weapons like rifles, where you can see the full damage caused by a single shot, regardless of how long it takes to load and fire the next one.
- Damage per second: The maximum cyclic damage dealt in one second, expressed as rate of fire times damage. Weapons that require a reload every shot have damage per second shown including reload times; all others show sustained rates without reloads.
- Rate of fire: The maximum cyclic number of shots/attacks per 10 seconds, without considering reloading.
- Accuracy: This is the Accuracy stat displayed in-game.
- Critical hit Damage: The amount of damage that is added when you score a critical strike. The more specialized Sneak Attack Critical deals twice the damage of a common critical strike.
- Action Point cost: The number of Action Points used per shot in V.A.T.S.
- Area of effect: The blast radius of the explosion in units of measurement displayed in the G.E.C.K.
- Ammunition used: The type of ammunition the weapon uses.
- Magazine capacity: The maximum ammunition capacity of the weapon. Shots per reload: The maximum number of shots possible from a full magazine.
- Weapon weight: Weight value of the weapon that applies to encumbrance.
- Weapon value in caps: Base value of the weapon in caps. Resale value is effected by Barter skill.
- Value to weight ratio: The ratio of the base weapon value in caps to the weapon weight.
Unique weapon entries are shaded.

Radiation weapons

These weapons produce radiation damage, including both direct damage from explosions and damage over time from exposure and poisoning. There is some variance in how damage is dealt within this class of weapon; please consult each weapon's page for specific details. Also, the radiation page explains the unique ways that this kind of damage is handled by the game. These are affected by the perk Nuclear Physicist in terms of radiation damage.

Melee weapons

Damage found in the table is base damage, every point of strength adds 10% to it. Several perks can further increase the damage displayed for a melee weapon.

Bladed

Bladed weapons can dismember limbs of humanoid opponents, permanently damaging the limb and disarming the target. Like all melee weapons, bladed weapons benefit from Big Leagues and Strength.

Renaming weapons

In Fallout 4, the player character is able to rename any weapon, including unique weapons, at any weapons workbench. Renaming weapons does not affect any weapon stats. This primarily adds a level of personalizing to weapons and can help avoid accidentally disassembling a favored weapon.

Mods

Weapons may be modified in Fallout 4. Each weapon has modification 'slots' (e.g. barrel, grip, magazine, sights) that may be modified with increasingly powerful or useful mods by the player character based on their perks. However, the player character may salvage useful mods that are not yet available via the player character's perk level by simply modifying any weapon that already has the mod of interest. By replacing the mod of interest with any available mod the original mod goes into inventory and may then be used to alter the player character's chosen weapon without regard for their perk level. Unique weapons do not offer this capability; their special mods are 'reserved' and since they are unique, no other examples are available to be salvaged.

Notes

If a player character puts unique and legendary weapons in a container in a settlement, nearby NPCs, like settlers or even enemy attackers, can randomly take them and they may be irretrievable. Therefore, access to personal containers should be restricted, either by obstructing the expected path used by them to reach the container, or by the use of powered doors, holes, floating structures, etc.

Bugs

Playstation 4 Sometimes, when starting the game, gunfire cannot be heard on certain weapons. This can be fixed by re-starting the game or re-loading to a previous save file.
