What is the legendary weapon from Fallout 4? As a rule, this is a weapon that is endowed with unique properties, such as fire damage or additional bleeding. As a rule, it can possess either several properties at once, but weak, or only one, but strong. It is better to have the latter option, since in this case the attacker can easily break through the enemy’s armor. Where to find legendary weapons in Fallout 4? Usually it is dropped by legendary fallen enemies, which are indicated by the sign of the star. Another option to gain access to it is to find it at specific locations.
It is also worth noting that this type of weapon is not always susceptible to additional modifications. We'll talk about how to make weapons legendary in Fallout 4 later.
About properties
If we talk about the legendary properties of weapons, they can be:
- Injuring - at the time of the target’s defeat, bleeding opens, which causes additional damage of +25 units. Robots and mechanisms can also be affected. Resistance and armor of the enemy in this case are powerless. This property of the weapon goes well with shotguns and miniguns.
- Powerful - standard damage to any type of enemy is increased by 25 percent. A very rare property that completely depends on the base power of the weapon used. It turns out that a weak gun with increased damage will not show great efficiency, it is better to pick up some other property.
- Explosive - tearing a fired bullet causes 15 damage. by area. Such a legendary property is very effective against enemies using shelter, since you can shoot immediately on the surface, and not wait for a convenient moment. Recommended for use in the initial stages of the game.
- Incendiary - fired bullets are able to set fire to the enemy and inflict additional fire damage in the amount of 15 units.
- Plasma - an energy attack that causes damage +10. (it is not necessary to have plasma cartridges in stock). Any shot gives a chance to make slime out of the enemy.
- Crippling - target's limbs take damage increased by 50 percent. Any shot gives a chance to tear off a limb completely.
- Irradiating - the enemy takes 50 radiation damage. The xn scale decreases after each shot. The effect of the property is useless against robots.
- Infinite - during the shooting, the character does not need reloading, while the cartridges continue to be wasted, as before. The property performs well on snipers or carbines, but loses its effectiveness compared to other, more profitable options.
- Provocative - opponents with a full supply of hp suffer from doubled damage. This property is a strong advantage at the beginning of any battle.
- Healers - for 10 sec. the enemy takes 30 additional damage from poison
And this is not a complete list of the legendary properties available in the game. We talked only about the most popular options that can suit any style of wagering. Below you can find out about specific models of the legendary weapons from Fallout 4 and the effects that they are endowed with.
Alien blaster
A unique alien blaster exists in the world of the Wasteland in a single instance. During shots, it releases blue plasma, which is noticeably superior to conventional green plasma. To get this weapon, the main character must reach the twentieth level of pumping. As soon as this condition is met, a UFO will begin to fall from the sky - this event will open access to a simple quest, in the final of which we can become the owners of the Alien blaster.
We also note that the standard weapon does not have any legendary properties, however, they can be obtained together with the Nuka-World DLS. To do this, you will have to go through one of the tasks of the Hubologists, after which we will receive a new and improved version of the blaster. Both versions have excellent firepower and low VATS rates.
Spray N 'Pray submachine gun
The next legendary weapon from Fallout 4 is capable of hitting the enemy with 15 explosive damage. At the same time, this submachine gun can be subjected to full pumping, as a result of which it will become a real killing machine.
Selling Spray N 'Pray is a Cricket merchant who can be found near the following locations: Vault 81, Diamond City, and Bunker Hill. Walking around the Commonwealth, you can come across standard weapons, which already have other legendary properties. True, the Spray N 'Pray itself is a rather rare cannon and practically does not fall from the killed legendary opponents. Experienced gamers advise you to buy it from a merchant, and not waste time on tiresome searches.
Uazelnaya wintouka
Access to laser weapons in the game opens from the earliest levels, while in order to use it, the character does not have to have any special skills. To get a unique version of such a weapon, namely uazelny wintoukou, you must complete a certain task. We will talk more about this below.
Uazelnaya wintouk is a unique version of a conventional laser rifle. It has a special legendary property (infinite ammunition of nuclear shells) and maximum modification. To get it, you have to go through the game for the Institute faction. After we have to meet with the boy-synth Sean, who will give us the task of collecting various trash. We fulfill the order three times and wait a day (gaming 24 hours) - if all the conditions have been met, then we will be awarded the legendary uazelny wintouk.
Experiment 18-A
The best legendary plasma weapon that can be purchased from one of the ammunition dealers at the Institute. "Experiment 18-A" has an almost complete modification, it can be used immediately after purchase. Thanks to the good rate of fire of the weapon, you can infuse opponents with a lethal dose of plasma in just a few seconds. At the same time, the content of Experiment 18-A takes a lot of resources, since the consumption of supplies is very high.
Assault carbine
This version of a high-tech carbine (5.56 mm caliber cartridge) is carried by most of the high-level opponents. It can serve as a combat machine or a simple carbine - the choice depends on the player himself. We, in turn, recommend using an assault rifle, as it has high accuracy, powerful damage and economical ammunition consumption.
If you pass the game on high difficulty, you can quickly find some legendary cannon. The best properties for an assault rifle are considered to be wounding or powerful properties, as well as properties with fire or explosive damage.
Shotguns
Generally speaking, there aren’t so many different shotguns in Fallout 4, all of which are either firearms or energy. If this is exactly the type of weapon that you want to use during the passage, we recommend replenishing the arsenal with a combat shotgun. It shoots in semi-automatic mode, so a constant reload is not required. With further leveling of the character (from level 3 to 35), additional modifications will also be opened for the shotgun.
During travels in the Commonwealth, we will repeatedly meet the legendary shotguns. The most effective properties for them are those properties that cause injuring, explosive and fiery damage, while its strength does not depend on distance.
How to add legendary properties to weapons in Fallout 4?
We have already talked about the main methods of producing legendary weapons in the game and cited several specific options as an example. But what if none of the above options suits us? How to give the weapon legendary properties in Fallout 4 and is it possible to do it yourself?
Fortunately, despite the fact that a full-fledged function to create their own unique weapons is not provided for in the game, there is still such an opportunity. To create a unique weapon in Fallout 4, we need a console. Open it with the "tilde" ("~") key, then click on the laid out item and, finally, enter the required code / ID.
All legendary properties can be divided into several groups depending on what role they play. So, there are such properties that affect the owner of the weapon, or those that affect the target or even the weapon itself. Below we give an example of codes that open up legendary weapons features that have an effect on the target and at the same time cause additional damage (entered without spaces!). Codes for other categories can be found freely available on any thematic site or forum. So:
- 001 e6d6b - damage + 50% when target limbs are affected;
- 001e 7173 - fire damage +15 units;
- 001 f5479 - enemy freezing and cold damage +10 units;
- 001cc 2ab - additional damage + 25%;
- 001 f9b4d - energy damage +10 units. and a chance to make slime out of the enemy;
- 001cc 469 - radiation damage +50 units;
- 001 f31b9 - poisoning by poison for 10 seconds;
- 001e 7c20 - additional bleeding +25 units.
Additional Information
You can also get the necessary properties using special mods for Fallout 4 on the legendary weapon. For example, the Legendary Modification modification improves not only weapons, but also different types of armor, giving them unique properties.
It is worth noting that most of these weapon mods in Fallout 4 only work with those items that were originally conceived as "legendary." Well, what exactly way to ultimately use is up to the player to decide.
