I like the classic revolvers and energy weapons. A lot of the craftable weapons were fun and some were definitely overpowered like the dart pistol but nothing beats the heavy boom of the Lincoln Repeater/ .44 Magnum and the pewpew meltyness of plasma weapons.
It's not that hard to find, if you know where the Alien Crash Site is located. There are other ways to find variants of this weapon, too. The location of the base Alien Blaster isn't marked on the map, which is why it can be hard to find.
My favorite one was the Gauss Rifle from Operation: Anchorage. That one, combined with high skills is unstoppable.
I like the Nuka Grenades the best. Nothing beats watching your enemies blown to hell in a pretty blue explosion while drinking an Ice Cold Nuka Cola to celebrate...Good Times
The Sniper and the Assault rifle, I like to keep my distance but if im going in you are getting shot a lot.
I wish I was better with the long distance weapons. I am much better with all of the close range weapons.
Even better, have the bloody mess perk. Then it becomes even more wonderful as body parts fly in random directions like a bloody comet. I always hunt down Super Mutants since it's more amusing to see them turn into chunks....
But that's how I relieve my stress after a hard day of work. Besides, if they don't like getting blown to hell, they should stop kidnapping wastelanders for me to save then
It's even more hilarious when you play the Team Rocket line "We're blasting off again" when they get hit with a grenade and have their parts fly everywhere. Comedy gold
The rifles were also my favorite. I used assault rifle for the most of the game, but I remember also having a modded in AK-47 (or was that in NV?) which was awesome.
Alien Blaster all the waaaaaaaaaaaaay! Even though it's considered as hard to get, if you know your way around the game you can get it easily.
The railway rifle was my favorite because it could pin limbs to the wall. It was brutal. It was one of the best VATS weapons too. I was upset they did not have it in NV, and I would love to see it in FO4. "Choo-Chooooo!"
My favorite was always the railway rifle too. Ha, if I had to choose another, it would have to be any of the energy weapons. I had too much fun with those.
