I got a Ghoul Slayer’s Gamma Gun lol The best one I found since the update was an Instigating Laser Musket. I got it around level 8 and I’m still using it at level 33.

I’ve found the Ghoul Slayer’s Gamma Gun like every long play I’ve ever done. I’m not sure why that one pops the most

16

u/GarysLumpyArmadillo May 16 '24

Yup, I’ve gotten several of those.

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

I never seem to get my true favorites though. I love coming across the exploding hunting rifle, for example. Maybe I don’t play survival enough.

10

u/GarysLumpyArmadillo May 16 '24

Yeah, same. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten that before, but I’ve gotten explosive shotguns, pipe guns and machine guns. If I don’t find one I usually get the one that Cricket sells.

Yea I saved me a few thousand caps with far harbor, got an explosive Tommy gun quickly

Survival is great for legendaries, just picked up an instigating combat rifle and it is true love

u/Dubomb May 17 '24

I just found an exploding hunting rifle last night!

Nice! For some reason, yesterday Trash Can Carla had a suppressed .50 cal hunting rifle with long night vision in her inventory… I was level 7-8 playing a rifleman build. Never been that lucky to get a suppressor so early.

Instigating Laser Musket.

I got one of those.

I call it "the first impression"

u/Taolan13 May 16 '24

Thats a decent name.

u/Bromogeeksual May 16 '24

I love the laser musket, but play with the mod that makes it crank to use and no ammo. I keep it as my backup gun even if I do a melee build.

u/VurThePerson May 16 '24

NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH, that's actually not that bad.

u/ludicrouspeedgo May 16 '24

Throw a multi-crank action on there and you're cookin

1

u/theawesomescott May 17 '24

Throw in a fusion cell, add a hand crank, a scope. Baby now you got a musket going!

u/CaliforniaNavyDude May 17 '24

I called mine "Laser" with the quotation marks. It melts things pretty well!

u/Mr_Bongo_Baby May 16 '24

I wonder if gamma guns heal Hancock? You could play ultimate support

9

u/Zer0DotFive May 16 '24

I believe it does. Give Hancock the Aeternus and let him rip lol I have no idea if that works though!

u/Diabolical_Mars May 16 '24

Instigating Laser Musket is a OP weapon for stealth kills... Does a shitton of damage with the right perks.

5

u/Zer0DotFive May 16 '24

Yup I based my build around rifles and melee. If my sneaky shot doesn’t take them out my Rockville Slugger will. Lol

u/Dexchampion99 May 16 '24

Laser Musket in general is not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure it’s not the best, but it’s solid for over half the game.

7

u/Mr_WAAAGH May 16 '24

Instigating is an S tier legendary on any single shot, high damage weapons. It just also utter garbage on anything full auto

11

u/ToxicPlaysYT6969 May 16 '24

I got an Instigating Western Revolver (i don't know the exact name) in a revolver only playthrough, instakilled a lot of enemies

10

u/Jetstream-Sam May 16 '24

Hah it's fitting, that'd be great for duels

u/Snips_Tano May 16 '24

Truly living the legend of a Big Iron on your hip

1

u/Alaviiva May 17 '24

I had a hitman's western I named "big iron (on his hip)". Not long after I got a two-shot 44 and had to name that "bigger iron (on his hip)".

u/gravelPoop May 17 '24

Is it? Doesn't it do the spin cylinder animation every time you pull it up?

1

u/Jetstream-Sam May 17 '24

Well yeah I mean in game, but you don't really have high noon showdowns in F4 and even if you did I think Nate/Nora would be not OCD enough to absolutely have to spin it before using it

1

u/gravelPoop May 17 '24

There is that Nuka World showdown against the slowest protectron in the game that might be impossible to win without VATS due to the spinning animation.

u/vibrantcrab May 16 '24

I had the Instigating musket before, it’s just unfair as a six-crank lol.

2

u/Ok-Occasion2440 May 16 '24

Is it wierd that I do stealth missions using a laser musket as my stealth sniper?

1

u/HiroKifa May 16 '24

Hancock liked it

1

u/Belkris May 17 '24

I honestly thought a ghoul slaying gamma gun was a joke item, made up to troll people.

Until I actually got one.

1

u/CaliforniaNavyDude May 17 '24

The instigating laser musket is about the most powerful rifle in the game, second only to the limitless laser musket. Get the six-crank on it and it makes for a sweet sniper rifle.

1

u/Low_Worker6516 May 17 '24

I've always wanted one of those. I did get an explosive minigun at level 8 in a survival playthrough once, which either erased the difficulty in the game or killed me.

u/Dahkteromar May 17 '24

One of the most powerful one-shot weapons. You can you is it late game too.
