Top 10 Worst Guns and Weapons in Fallout 4 Including DLC (Redux)

Link to my Twitter:
/ vinylicpuma
What's up guys! This is VinylicPuma and today, I'm back with another Fallout 4 Video. Today, I figured I could revisit what I think are among some of the Worst Guns and Weapons in Fallout 4! Unlike last time, this new video will include weapons from all of Fallout 4's DLC and will also include weapons that I wanted to include last time but didn't.
Otherwise guys, like this video if you liked it and let me know what you think in the comments section below.

fluff dafire yup, pop someone with a lock joint syringe and then walk over and shoot them in the face. On its own though it is garbage. Unless you plan to just sneak around and shoot all the people in an area with Berserk syringes. Similar to what I used to do all the time in Skyrim with frenzy, makes clearing places super easy

[@AdmiralMcGravy]

I think his biggest point as to why its on this list is simply because the ammo requires specific junk to craft.

isn't it called the syringer?

[@fluffdafire157]

The vault dweller the full name in the game files is the syringer rifle and that's how I know it

[@kaballfs]

Complementary to what? A minigun shred? A fatman to the face? If you're sneaky you don't really want to make the enemy fall over like a stick before killing him, it's pointless at best. If your full commando, you don't really care if they do fall over like a stick, you're already in the thicc of battle, swaping guns is just bad practice. If you're gonna blow him the hell up, you just can't be bothered to make him fall over like a stick. The ONLY practical use for this weapon is making people go berzerk. Nothing else. Also, he did realize it, he said himself that the weapon could be useful and fun, if the syringes were a bit less awkward to craft.

[@hybrid_grizzly]

The Submachine Gun AKA the single biggest barrier to roleplaying as the Silver Shroud. I reckon it started much stronger, but they found in playtesting that it the Triggermen way too punishing for low level characters, so they nerfed the crap out of the SMG. Also I think the acid soaker would be much better as a set of craftable grenades that poison and lower damage resistance in a decent sized area

[@hybrid_grizzly]

DrIvanRadosivic You should, but people don’t. Also the Vault they’re in is just about the best place for a full auto with a really high rate of fire. I don’t mean to excuse their mistake, only to try to explain it

[@shastealyomeal]

Get the Spray Pray

[@drakep.5857]

Get the spray n pray. Literally a machine gun where each bullet explodes.

[@cameronmalkoske8461]

Drake P. While the spray n pray is maybe good, it’s a sub machine gun, which fucking sucks. The only redeeming quality of the spray n pray is the explosive effect, which is an amazing effect. You’d get so much more out of be kiloton radium rifle. Damage is better, better use of effects, you can change the rifle to automatic if need be, and tacked on radiation damage which is dangerous to humans

[@komiks42]

Well.. they can just give them pipe guns instead

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

8:37 - My best guess is that the .50 caliber guns in the game are using .50 AE (Action Express), instead of .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun), as that is the only way the damage could be so paltry, and the guns themselves so puny. However, the weight of the rounds in Survival suggest that they actually _are_ .50 BMG, so I really don't know what the fuck Bethesda was thinking. It wouldn't surprise me if everyone on the dev team was "firearms illiterate."

[@hanswurst8682]

They have no idea what they're doing. This isn't just proven by the .50cal debacle, but also the combat rifle being chambered in .45acp, and the pipe guns being mechanically impossible/unlikely.

[@44WarmocK77]

No, they're 50 BMG. Bethesda initially planned to add a 50 cal light support machinegun to the game but eventually scrapped the idea, leaving a lot of gaps in the entire system, especially the hunting rifle (I reconstructed the LMG as a mod from the data still found in the game, and I can see why they scrapped it: a 50 cal LMG would have made every other heavy weapon completely obsolete because it couldn't be balanced in the vanilla game).

[@RazorBlade651]

They really needed to implement .50 caliber rounds like they did in FNV with the Anti-materiel rifle. That gun was so good, especially with the GRA add-on that gave you explosive and incendiary rounds. I felt like a badass going around one-shotting enemies with my explosive AMR, but in F4, I can barely plink enemies with my .50 hunting rifle. What were they thinking?

[@cv6531]

JLSpeaks it was outright broken though. Especially the incendiary VATS glitch

[@RazorBlade651]

cody virginia I thought it was balanced well. It was never too powerful when I used it, but I didn't exploit the incendiary glitch. If you didn't want to spend an inordinate amount of money on weapon mods, the AMR was almost impractical to use, considering its weight, bolt-speed and loudness.

[@CriminalizeObesity]

It's sad to see how the 45. Auto SMG went from being stupidly and hilariously overpowered (Fallout: NV, Honest Hearts) to being stupidly and frustratingly shitty in the next installment. (Fallout 4)

While the spray n pray is good in its right of the explosive effect, the overall is god awful. It has one of the worst upgrade paths and when fully upgraded, it’s pretty on par with a pipe smg, which is terrible. The kiloton radium rifle is so much better. You deal more damage, better upgrade path, explosive effect, and radiation damage which especially dangerous against humans.

I disagree about the 50 cal weapons. My build is around a stealth character, ninja perks, sandman perks, and using a two-shot or instigating prefix 50 cal sniper rifle. I've taken down behemoths and mirelurk queens with one shot that way. Not to mention other tough enemies. Otherwise, good list.

[@srellison561]

Totally agree with everything you say. With the right perks and a stealth/sniper mentality, I think it's one of the best weapons in the game. My instigating .50 rifle does massive damage on the first shot.

[@Craxin01]

On my last playthrough, I found and Explosive Radium Rifle that just WRECKED EVERYTHING. It did TONS of damage once my Commando and Demolition Expert perks were maxed, plus a lot of extra damage when my Nuclear Physicist was set to two. Hell, I got rid of my Spray And Pray altogether, and almost never got out my usual Instigating Sniper Rifle with .50 cal.

[@kaballfs]

The problem with the .50 cal is not that it is bad, it isn't, these sneaky build can use it quite well, flat damage values are great, the problem is that it is outclassed by a lot of things that it really shouldn't be, like a 5.56 or a shotgun, both of which are cheaper to craft and find, and the latter being so much strong that the weakest shotgun outclasses the best .50, provided you land the full shot. Also, there's Gauss Rifle for you, if you want TRUE damage...

The thing is, the .50 ammo is extremely expensive to get. Compared to what damage it does do, I find it is just better to rely on my old reliable.

That's the only way I can see how price would even come into play. By the time you're able to craft 50 cal receivers, you have too many caps to care about, so the price of the round shouldn't matter lol

[@cameronmalkoske8461]

MrWinAgain it’s not that the 50 caps are bad in the sense of there usefulness. As a matter of fact, if you are a stealth/sniper build, 50 cals will be a great choice for you and very useful, the problem with them is that they just aren’t the best sniper rifle in terms of usefulness with other builds. 308’s tend to be more versatile and while damage may not be as high, there upgrade path is a little easier and ammo spawns more frequently, gauss rifles have superior damage and accuracy when invested in the right perks and mods. Really, they’re bad just because there are others that are better in terms of usefulness, which is sad because 50 cals in general are actually very useful, which Bethesda screwed up

[@vivomega3937]

GBRyker61 I used a submachine gun thinking it was good until I found the spray and pray

[@clearspira]

A fully modded pipe rifle is an excellent companion weapon against low-tier raiders, dogs, ghouls etc, as .38 is almost limitless in this game. Give it to Piper and watch her shine. And given how many of them you will find in any single raider camp, they also make very good settler weapons until you attack your first synth stronghold and get hold of dozens of institute laser rifles.

[@ollep9142]

I think semi/fully automatic pipe weapons are just as good as submachineguns. Easy to obtain and mod into whatever flavour you desire.

[@xHxlo]

I’m level 165 and I have only used the pipe weapons once when I was level 1 then I was level 2 and found out that the 10mm pistol was better

[@ollep9142]

The 10mm is inferior in range compared to a pipe rifle and potentially not enough ammo available early on. The 10mm is possibly better if you have the Gunslinger perk and use VATS a lot.

[@Avakadoman1995]

Funny thing about the flamer, as I'm sure you've noticed, is that it causes Sentry Bots to overheat quicker. So while it's not terribly useful in most cases, it does have that going for it.

[@z3r0_35]

I actually managed to turn the Acid Soaker into a fairly amusing, if not very effective, joke weapon using console commands. I forgot the order exactly, but I basically attached the legendary weapon effects of the Automatic Laser Musket and the December’s Child (M4 Carbine) to it, as somehow those two can stack if done properly. The result is a very weak, VERY fast-firing laser pistol that takes 5.56 mm rounds for some stupid reason. If you want to use it just as an Acid Soaker, just slap the M4 Carbine effect on it and it’ll consume 5.56 mm ammo and also fire and reload slightly faster. Oh, and one sidenote about the Salvaged Assaultron Head: with maxed out Ghoulish, you can basically use it to heal yourself in exchange for fusion cells, faster than a stimpack will heal you in Survival. If you find yourself with a surplus of fusion cells and short on stimpacks, this can be a lifesaver (albeit one that’s only available with heavy investment in the Endurance tree, but if you’re playing Survival and not running a stealth build, then you should have a lot of points in Endurance anyway), and I took advantage of this in my Mechanist build.

Erin Moody it is really just that the increase in damage from a multiplicative stand point is way less then the price increase. It isn’t a gun you should buy ammo for. However go ahead and use a 50 cal weapon whenever you find some ammo for it. It is bad from a damage per bottlecap spent stand point however if you just only use ammo you find it’s perfectly fine.

[@GBRyker61]

The Base damage of the Submachine Gun is 10, the Powerful Receiver bumps that up to 16. But you also need to factor in the Commando Perk and the Guns and Bullets magazines. Each issue of Guns & Bullets adds a +5% Critical Damage. Commando Rank 1: 20% damage increase with automatic weapons Commando Rank 2: 40% more damage. Improved hip fire accuracy. Commando Rank 3: 60% damage increase. Hip fire accuracy increased Commando Rank 4: 80% damage increase. Chance to stagger enemies. Commando Rank 5: automatic weapons do double damage. Increased chance to stagger enemies. The Guns and Bullets perk mag and the Commando perk all affect the performance of automatic weapons.

[@UraniumReaperActual]

GBRyker61 yeah, but isn't it just better to use the combat rifle then? All those benefit that as well and it has better stats all around (with the exception of rof I think)

[@GBRyker61]

URANIUM REAPER the difference is it'll be a few levels before you find a Combat Rifle. The .45 Auto SMG is easier to find. You can either get one from Trashcan Carla or Truddy at Drumline Dinner. The .45 SMG is a few steps up from a Pipe weapon.

I have a legendary hunting rifle I've stashed away waiting to be converted to .50 caliber once I get gun nut 3. Reason is as follows: I am playing a sniper build, so I have a scoped combat rifle using .45, a scoped hunting rifle using .308 and the overseer's guardian. I can silence the first two at gun nut 3, the latter at 4. I just want 3 viable rifles using different calibers should I ever run low on a particular type.

I don't want to sound like I'm bitching but you might want to crank up the difficulty because when you were talking about how weak the asaltron R.I.P Spelling head is you were taking out deathclaws with ease Also I think that the idea behind the acid soker is that you use the damage over time and the reduced damage proctoin R.I.P Spelling to make you deal more damage with a different gun like you get your soker shoot once or twice then swap to any other gun and use that to deal more damage

The 50 Cal usually isnt worth it but if you have the right perks(rifleman,sniper etc) and the right bonus add ons from either followers or dlc(nuka-world operator perk) they can be deadily also the anti-matiriel rifle fully upgraded is insane with what i just mentioned

[@kungpaospic5318]

"This weapon is a real disappointment" As he turns a Raider into Jello

[@FestorFreak]

Looking back at the Assaultron head, i think turning it into a power armor mod would be a lot more interesting and useful. Perhaps an arm modification, similar to the Yautja Plasma Caster (aka Predator shoulder cannon). Especially given that the available arm mods do nothing if you don't care about melee. Would have been a great alternative. Make it take the grenade hotkey and use Fusion Core power (and have it conflict with the jetpack, regardless of which part it would be a mod for). Hold the grenade key to charge it up for a max of 5 seconds, costing 10% power per second, then press the grenade key again to fire. Boom, now you're a psuedo assaultron (or ironman if you prefer).

[@AaronMichaelLong]

You might have overlooked the benefits of the acid soaker. One shot of the acid soaker will drop enemy damage resistance by 50, for 7 seconds (non-stacking). So it's actually not a bad 'consumable' to take down hard targets for a gunslinger build. Tag an enemy with an acid shot, then swap to a quick firing weapon like the deliverer, and you can get a lot of value from that one shot.

[@Thatonecyborg]

50 cal has to be BUFFED SO MUCH

The assaultron head is actually really good, you just have to give it to a pistol specing companion. They'll always shoot a fully charged shot, and they don't take radiation damage.

[@Fireheart318]

10:43 a Can confirm. I’ve been using my Pepperspray for a majority of my playthrough. Ammo was a bit annoying at first, but once I started looking for it instead of just relying on what I found in the wild, it became the opposite of a problem. I actually have a Spray n Pray sitting on a shelf in my main settlement, but I still use the PR for it’s lighter weight and better sights.

[@aidanadkins5922]

The stringer is marginally useful for one thing. I use the mind cloud syringe to sneak up behind raiders in power armor and pickpocket their fusion core. This is useful because if you kill them while still in the armor, you don't get the core. But yes, beyond this, it isn't very useful.

[@Herba2]

What I think can improve some of these weapons, I'm not a game designer and I'm aware some of these ideas may or may not be good ideas but these are some kinds of improvements I think would be nice for some of these weapons: Assaultron Head: Offer more kinds of upgrades like more "cranks"/more damage upgrade offers, upgrades to either reduce or completely remove the rads damage to your player and an upgrade that gives it a similar feel to the standard Assaultron heads from Assaultron's (constant laser beam) oh and it also really sucks in Fallout 76 too so It would be nice to see this happen to the 76 version of this weapon too Submachine Gun: Buff up the damage a bit and give it some upgrade variety (clip sizes, different sights, different ammo receivers) Syringer: Give it more upgrade variety to kind of what it has already in Fallout 76, instead of crafting the different kinds of syringes, turn them into barrels or receivers for the kind of effects and or damage. and an upgrade that allows the player to shoot more than one syringe similar to the effect of syringe guns from TF2 in a way (same thing with the 76 version of this too, it's not that very good) Meat Hook: Reduce the level requirement for it and beef up the damage a little bit Acid Soaker: Greatly increase its damage output and give it a few upgrades (ammo capacity, automatic acid firing) Homing Beacon: Reduce the nuke delays and increase the blast radius of the nukes

[@jak7826]

I didn't groan when i came across my ledgendary walking cane because it was crippling

[@sebastienbricout7790]

Meathook is good early game as i got it as a legendary +30% damage against animals but its not good late game as its damage gets overtaken by better weapons like the bloodletter or powerfist

[@Ashtarte3D]

Seems like a bunch of these are based on misuse. The SMG has better DPS than the Combat Rifle and Assault Rifle while also being more plentiful and easy to find than those guns. Additionally the Spray'n'Pray legendary is only outshined by the DLC weapon Splattercannon. Also .50 cal weapons are not about DPS but going for max top end damage for Sneak based builds. A difference of 11 points of base damage (or 27 in the case of Reba II) is a huge difference when you factor in all the Sneak Attack multipliers. Lastly, comparing the value of weapons based on ammo cost makes me laugh. If you are struggling to maintain ammo you are likely doing something very wrong.

[@abelcollado1711]

@Ashtarte he is misusing them. The .50 sniper rifle deals a damage of 64 and he is aiming everywhere but for the head.

[@cameronmalkoske8461]

Ashtarte the spray n pray is pretty bad. The kiloton radium rifle is weigh better. You can upgrade it further and you can even change the barrel to automatic. Plus, it deals additional radiation damage which is especially dangerous to human type enemies. The spray n pray is much heavier and the damage is on par with the automatic pipe rifle. Even the added explosive effect doesn’t help as much as you think. Believe me, I put these weapons head to head to almost every enemy in the game (both were fully upgraded and had the most powerful mods) and the kiloton radium rifle won almost all the trials. So avoid the god damn spray n pray, it’s trash

[@stereotypical114]

I think the point of the acid soaker is to shoot a tough enemy once or twice and then switching to a better weapon for higher dps from the weakened damage resistance

[@arthurmorgan6390]

His point is that 50 calibar ammo is a pretty uncommon ammo type and rhe difference in damage between it and a reciever for a different ammo type on weapons like the sniper/hunting rifle isn't high enough to make much a difference. He would have likely one shot that enemy anyway with a 380 reciever.
