Good Intentions is a unique laser rifle found in Fallout 4.
Characteristics[]
This unique weapon bears the Enraging effect, which cause enemies to frenzy on critical hits. The legendary effect is equivalent to the Incite ability from the Charisma perk tree, allowing a high Luck player character to rapidly frenzy multiple targets. The drawback is that installing damage increasing mods on the weapon will greatly increase critical hit damage, requiring the player to choose between incitement or raw damage output.
Weapons modifications[]
- Improved automatic barrel
- Gyro compensating lens
- Marksman Stock
- Reflex Sight (May or may not)
Variants[]
- Laser gun, the standard variant.
- Old Faithful, a unique laser pistol with the Instigating effect, which does double damage if the target is at full health. It is sold by Arturo Rodriguez in Diamond City.
- Survivor's Special, a unique laser pistol with the Bloodied effect, which deals more damage the lower your health is. It is a potential reward for completing The Lost Patrol, or it can be stolen from Paladin Brandis before completing the quest.
- Prototype UP77 "Limitless Potential", a unique laser gun with the Never Ending effect, which gives the weapon unlimited ammo capacity and remove the need for reloading. It can be found in a hidden room in the University Credit Union.
- Righteous Authority, a unique AER9 laser rifle. With the Lucky effect, its critical hits do double damage and the critical meter fills 15% faster. It is given as a reward for completing Call to Arms.
- Wazer Wifle, a unique laser rifle with the Never Ending effect, which gives the weapon unlimited ammo capacity and remove the need for reloading. It is given as a reward for completing three unmarked quests for Shaun after finishing the main quest with any faction.

Location[]
- Quincy ruins: Carried by the Gunners leader Clint on the elevated freeway camp.
Behind the scenes[]
The name of the weapon is a reference to the Christian idiom "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," which means that those who commit wrongdoings often believe they are doing the right thing. This may allude to Clint's decision to betray the Minutemen at the Quincy Massacre.
Bugs[]
- Billy Peabody and initiates the quest Kid in a Fridge before encountering Clint, Good Intentions will not be in his loot list.[1] He will always spawn a non-legendary laser pistol with random mods. Additionally, if the item is spawned with console commands, it will lack the legendary effect, making it impossible to acquire intact. [verified] Sometimes if the player encounters
- This can seem to happen even if the player has already encountered Billy, as while it still won't show up in Clint's inventory, it can appear right where he was killed. This then offers a possible solution to the bug caused by encountering Billy before Clint.[verified]
- However, if spawning the weapon with console commands, one can simply add the effect. Drop the gun, grab it by holding E, and then use GetPlayerGrabbedRef followed by amod 001f6ad4. This will give the gun its Enraging legendary effect.
The gun itself can simply just drop from Clint's body and can be found on the floor around the area where he was killed. This may result in it becoming unobtainable, if it falls in between level geometry or an inaccessible spot.
- Engaging openly in combat with the Gunners seems to despawn Good Intentions. Waiting until night and stealth killing your way to Clint should fix this as he will draw Good Intentions if engaged directly in combat without being "cautious" prior. [verified]
