Location[]
The puncturing modification cannot be found in the game world with the exception of one instance of the pipe wrench mod which can be found on a shelf in the storage room (where an assaultron is encountered) of the FEV lab within the Institute. It may appear equipped on applicable weapons that spawn with raiders, super mutants, Gunners, etc., such as the power fist with the Furious prefix that always appears on Swan's body at Swan's Pond in Boston Common. It may also appear equipped on weapons available from merchants such as Arturo Rodriguez at the market in Diamond City or KL-E-0 in Goodneighbor. It can also be crafted for any applicable weapons at a weapons workbench.
