Can you beat fallout 4 with a laser musket?

[@BenHopkins1000]

Back in the day, a good soldier with a musket could fire 3 rounds a minute. With a laser musket, a well-trained Minuteman can probably fire 6

[@meldamo]

4 rounds a minute, sah!

[@BenthewildchildE750]

I thought it was five

[@JoshBeck-z5m]

Six powerful rounds sure, but true max rate of fire is decently high

[@handleonafridge6828]

The laser musket is my favorite gun in fallout 4. It really levels with you and has a hard time becoming irrelevant with the huge exception of VATS users, the laser musket just gives a big flying bird about you

[@anthonypiacentini3367]

I will say, when you max out rifleman and fully mod it, the laser musket rlly can be an overpowered killing machine

[@jamontoast.]

6 crank + 2shot * max rifleman and you can 1 shot a behemoth.

[@pikasonic9402]

​@@jamontoast. Doesn't that just turn it into a 7 shot? Or does it turn it into a 12 shot?

I honestly don't understand how constantly smacking the reload button per shot like it's a QTE doesn't drive people insane.

[@InsaneFrame]

[@corrupt1user]

I got a neverending laser musket once. 50 cranks on that puppy and I was 1-shotting mirelurk queens. It couldn't be used as my primary weapon since laser musket, but whenever a really tough enemy showed up... buh-bye.

[@morningstarlink]

Dunno bro 10 cranks plus stealth x2 damage kills almost anything except legendary enemies

[@qvcybe]

you can also use it as a sniper if you have a stable enough aim and use another gun to get the crosshair on the target XD ( about 15 cranks should nuke anything with stealth attacks XD may need a few more for legendry's idk i use vats to check my targets before sniping sense i use a simple mod that lets vats target things that you can clearly see sense in the base game you have to get abit to close for my liking XD )

Laser Musket is one of the best weapons. I used one almost exclusively during my minuteman play through. Around level 12-15 (don’t remember exactly when) I got an instigating laser musket off a gunner while defending oberland station. No enemy was ever an issue after that lol.

[@KayJay940]

I did this unintentionally on first playthrough but only for like half the game. When I got musket from Gravy it was strongest weapon and I molded it for cranks and used it all the way through Corvega, Nation Guard, Unlikely Valentine and Fort Hagan. Yeah my build was a mess but honestly felt very post apocalyptic like weapons being cobbled together and all that. It took me like an hour just to go thru Super Dupermart picking through everything.

[@Skirish]

I'm new here, very much a fan of the series, binge watched it and happy to see more, I had an idea (just one of those shower thoughts really) for a challenge run that you could apply to any of the fallout games that you would want, but the "You must use every new item" run, where you have to always replace everything you are using with whatever new you find, regardless of if it's better or worse, granted it might not be a fully functional idea in the context of fallout gameplay, but wanted to share it nonetheless

[@InsaneFrame]

Might do that in a couple of upcoming videos its been requested alot would be intresting and also welcome to the channel good sir!

[@Dovah_Slayer]

-use minutemen's main weapon -don't join the minutemen -refuse to elaborate

[@Generalphoenix8438]

It's actually my favourite gun in both design and practical use. It has that upcycle feel and can be a practical weapon when used properly as a ranged weapon. I use mine all the time though mine is upgraded alot.

[@InsaneFrame]

It is pretty cool an excellent choice

[@Generalphoenix8438]

@@InsaneFrame agreed. Though the minutemen needed extra campaigns to give them a heroic ending better. I had mine where they become leaders of the common wealth called the unified govern settlements. The idea would be the minutemen are the primary milletary with other groups being built and once they begin creating defensive positions and clear out the centre of the common wealth they destroy the other threats with the raiders last. Once gone their are still small pockets out their that attack settlements but the new goverment will begin rebuilding most of the commonwealth whilst arresting other faction followers such as the brotherhood, railroad and institute survivors and you being the General leading the defence of this proud new commonwealth. Again my own ideas if I wrote the story further and made new uniforms for the minutemen that puts other designs together to show a new age and stronger minutemen. As a costume maker I would be proud to make one. I might do for my other channel.

I was caught by surprise when you said you joined the brotherhood, I figured because you were using a musket you would go for a minute man but to be honest it's such a great weapon could be used for any faction and it's a awesome sniper rifle.

[@JonWebb-dd7hh]

I got a two shot version of the laser musket. Splatting mirelurk queens in one shot is just the tops

[@CentralNexusPrime]

I never had liked the weapon. I could see a cranking energy weapon if the crank WAS the power source, rather than a feeding mechanism. Something like we do for flashlights and radios. A few cranks equals a few shots. That would make sense with a Minutemen style group in an apocalypse setting -- crank time rather than scrounging for fusion cells. I've ALWAYS thought that Minutemen ought to have oversized arm muscles thanks to this weapon. Maybe Popeye style?

[@th0rn3]

i think this idea would be really good, you’d probably have to make the cranks slower to balance it considering the laser musket is pretty strong but it would be a cool way to make the weapon more unique

[@rileymiller3154]

The one thing I find funny about the railroad group is that the developers just decided to make the secret code railroad Wich is ironic because it's the name of the faction

[@chadnorris8257]

I've used a musket as a primary weapon in at least one playthrough. Fantastic sniper weapon. Although I did have a sidearm for close combat, so it wasn't an "only musket challenge". Nowadays I actually use a mod that makes it require no ammo, so it's a lot easier to use as a main weapon. Sometimes I mod it as a mid range weapon, staying away from any mods that lower hip fire accuracy. Sometimes I mod it for ultimate sniping. Other sniping weapons just feel so weak compared to it, and I have tried using Righteous Authority as a replacement sniper. The Agility 8 perk fast hands, which increases reload speed, is so helpful with this gun. Crank fast.
