Weapons in Fallout 76 Fallout 76 Guide, Walkthrough
Last update: 19 July 2018
Fallout 76 is a spin-off of a popular postapocalyptic RPG which means that players will find a lot of various weapons. On this page you can find information regarding the weapons, their upgrades and durability. We will also provide ways of acquiring new weapons and ammo. Some of the weapons will require you to complete certain missions - we will make sure to describe each of them.
Nuclear missiles
In Fallout 76 players will be able to find nuclear missiles which can be used in closing holes dig by Scorchbeasts, to destroy radioactive areas and other players' camps. However, in order to get these missiles, you will have to complete numerous main and side quests - the developers don't want inexperienced players to get these missiles too soon. The developers also warn players that sending missiles to random places won't be a good idea and that these actions will have their consequences.
Ammunition
Ammo in Fallout 76 must be either crafted or collected during exploration. Each type of ammo is assigned not to a particular model of a weapon but to a type which helps in managing ammunition. There is also a probability that you will be able to trade ammo with other players on the map.
Crafting and upgrading weapons
To craft new weapons or upgrade them you have to enter C.A.M.P., the mobile operation base. New pieces of equipment require the right resources and blueprints - you can get them by exploring the world or by completing main and side quests.
Another probable source of new weapons are players. A weapon can be gifted to you or you can steal it from others. After that you won't need any blueprints, only resources to upgrade that particular weapon.
Weapon stats
Each firearm in Fallout 76 has six attributes: damage, fire rate, reach, accuracy, weight and value. The game will also feature hidden stats such as damage dealt with the last bullet. Read these stats to find a weapon that will be the best for you.
