“The Syringer is a rare, custom-made weapon that can shoot modified medical syringes at an enemy, who then suffers the effects of whatever chemical is in the syringe.”— Fallout 4 loading screens
The syringer is a weapon in Fallout 4.
Characteristics
The syringer is a weapon that uses air pressure to propel custom-made syringes at a target. Rather than dealing direct damage, the Syringer is used to weaken the target with various effects. This weapon supports a wide variety of injectable ammo, all of which can be crafted at chemistry stations.
The syringer does not benefit from Quick Hands, Rifleman, Mister Sandman, Bloody Mess, or Ninja, but Sniper 1 and 3 both work.
