Fallout 4: The 25 Most Exceedingly Rare Items In The Game

From the legendary Aeternus gatling gun to the hallowed Perfectly Preserved Pie, here are some of the rarest items in Fallout 4.

Some secret weapons are pretty easy to find, while others are hidden away in hard-to-reach areas. Either way, most avid Fallout 4 fans will have collected almost every rare weapon in the game. For those that haven't, there are some rare weapons that are worth getting as early as possible due to how useful and fun they are to use.

6 Kiloton Radium Rifle

The Far Harbor Radiation Machine

Base Damage: 42
Radiation: 50
Special Effect: 15 Points Of Explosive Damage

The Kiloton Radium Rifle was brought into the game with the Far Harbor DLC. While Fallout 4 didn't have the best Radium weapons when compared to other Fallout games, the Kiloton Radium Rifle changed that. This submachine gun can be acquired very easily. However, there are still players out there who don't know about its existence. To get it, all the player needs to do is buy it from Brother Kane in the Nucleus. This can only be done after the player joins the Children of Atom.

The weapon itself is very powerful. It deals a decent amount of damage, it deals explosive damage, and it deals radiation damage. This is a very overpowered weapon, and it can take down most enemies in the game with ease.

5 The Last Minute

The Minutemen's Secret Weapon

Base Damage: 192
Fire Rate: 66
Special Effect: 50% More Limb Damage

The Last Minute is a type of Gauss Rifle. While it isn't the fastest-firing weapon in the game, it more than makes up for it with the amount of damage it does. This weapon deals 50% more limb damage. While this may not sound too crazy, it can cripple enemy bosses with just one well-placed hit. Like all Gauss Rifles, The Last Minute already does high damage as its standard. So, by adding the extra limb damage, this weapon becomes a must-have gun.

Obtaining this weapon requires a little bit of work from the player. The player will need to complete several main quests for the Minutemen. Once the player completes the quest "Old Guns," the weapon can be purchased from Ronnie Shaw at the Castle.

4 Furious Power Fist

Does Crazy Amounts Of Melee Damage

Base Damage: 20
Speed: Medium
Special Effect: Does More Damage With Each Hit On The Same Target

There are a few places where players can get hold of a Power Fist. However, there is one variant that stands head and shoulders above the rest: the Furious Power Fist. The Furious effect allows weapons to do more damage with each successive hit on the same enemy. This can be incredibly powerful when used against boss enemies, as the increase in damage goes up very fast when the enemy can take a bunch of hits.

Getting this weapon involves taking on a tough boss, especially for lower-level players. To get the Furious Power Fist, players will need to head to Swan's Pond, which is close to Diamond City. Once there, players will notice something lurking in the water. A large Super Mutant Behemoth named Swan will emerge, and they will need to take him down. Once Swan has been taken care of, his body can be looted for the Furious Power Fist.

3 Overseer's Guardian

Vault 81's Gem

Base Damage: 55
Fire Rate: 90
Special Effect: Shoots An Extra Projectile

This gun is a highly customizable unique weapon that players can get their hands on pretty easily. The main issue with getting this weapon is the price. It is a costly weapon, especially early on. The gun is located in Vault 81 and it can be purchased from Alexis Combes. To be able to get into the Vault, the player will need to either pass a Speech check or complete a small quest to get inside.

Fallout 4: 7 Best Items To Sell To Merchants

Players won't need everything they come across in Fallout 4. The following items are best sold to merchants for a quick profit.

Once inside, simply head down the elevator and purchase the Overseer's Guardian from Alexis. The price will vary depending on the player's perks, but it will still be quite a costly weapon.

This weapon has a two-shot effect, meaning that it fires two bullets every time the trigger is pulled. As mentioned, the Overseer's Guardian is a highly customizable weapon, meaning that it can be changed from an automatic sniper to a single-shot weapon at a Workbench. Its ammo type can also be changed, making it easier to use for those with limited ammo.

2 The Harvester

Stagger Enemies To Death

Base Damage: 9
Speed: Very Fast
Effect: Chance To Stagger On Hit

The Harvester is a unique variant of the Ripper. It was brought into the game with the Far Harbor DLC. While the weapon is pretty easy to get, it is also pretty easy to miss. There are a lot of players out there who have played the Far Harbor DLC and walked right past this weapon.

To get this weapon, players need to head to Echo Lake Lumbar in Far Harbor. Once there, they will be greeted by lots and lots of Ghouls. Once the Ghouls have been taken care of, playes can make their way to the top floor of the destroyed building, where they will have to either pick an advanced lock or hop over a wall with a large hole in it on the lower level. After players make their way into the room on the top floor, they will need to search the Red Steamer Trunk. Inside the trunk will be The Harvester.

This weapon is incredibly overpowered. It has a chance to stagger an enemy with every hit. Since this is an automatic melee weapon, it will almost constantly stagger enemies. If an enemy is staggered, it can't attack, making most enemies pretty much useless when trying to fight against this weapon.

1 Spray N' Pray

An Explosive Submachine Gun

Fallout-4-Spray-N-Pray — Spray N' Pray weapon from Fallout 4

Base Damage: 34
Fire Rate: 127
Special Effect: 15 Points Of Explosive Damage

The Spray N' Pray is one of the best weapons in all of Fallout 4. It is powerful, its ammo is plentiful, and it is really fun to use. Getting this weapon is easy, but with that said, it does involve a little bit of luck.

Things To Never Buy From Merchants In Fallout 4

Fallout 4: 6 Things You Should Never Buy From Merchants

Players can purchase a lot of things from Fallout 4's merchants. However, fans are better off leaving the following items on the table.

The gun can be purchased from Cricket. Cricket is a traveling merchant based in Bunker Hill. Since she travels around the map, it can be tricky to track her down, but the best way to find her is just to hang around Bunker Hill until she shows up.

The Spray N' Pray does a great deal of damage. This is because it has an explosive effect, and has a very high rate of fire. It can also be modified at a weapons Workbench to make it even more powerful. The Spray N' Pray is a very overpowered weapon and is definitely worth having in any player's arsenal.
