Gauss rifle plans?
Are there any vendors in game that sell plans for this?

Currently level 62 and my most used weapon is a level 35 bloodied gauss that I found at level 35. I'm not a bloodied build but I've been trying my best to make use of that feature and as such it still seems to be the best damage weapon I have. My biggest issues with it tho are that its only 5 rounds and it's slow. If I get into a mob situation, which seems to happen often sadly, it turns into a struggle real quick.
It also seems to be pretty much useless on some of the "higher level" type bad guys.

I also have a level 45 instigating gauss which is slightly higher damage but it mostly only gets used when Im sure I can actually get a one shot hit.

I keep checking vendors but all I ever find are the same night vision scope mods for it and I haven't ever even found any more rifles to be able to scrap to learn any upgrades.

Try Brotherhood and Watoga Shopping Mall vendor bots and MODUS in Enclave bunker.

I was looking through my Inventory yesterday and I somehow ended up with a 1 star Quad Gauss Rifle(Holds 20 rounds). Must have been an event drop. You can have it at no cost.

If you want it please post your in-game name here, then send me an in-game friend request and I'll come find you to drop it off. My IGN is the same as here, ronr42.

Thanks. I actually just got into Watoga last night for the first time as I only just started into the Brotherhood line and haven't hit Enclave yet. I will keep a eye out.

That would be great thanks. I would be happy to give it a try. Im PakRatJR in game also. It's 10AM by me now and it will probably be around 5 or 6 tonight before I can get on.

Oh, ok. In that case you might want to do Mayor For A Day-quest first so that Watoga bots stop shooting at you. :D Watoga Mall vendor bot Phoenix should always have the plan.

Ok, that's fine. You're CT and I'm PT. So, I'll try to catch you around 3 or 4 pm PT today.

Send me the in-game friend request if you haven't already.

You need to send me an in-game friend request, not Steam.

Lol thanks, I will definitely be looking into that first thing tonight. Running through town was definitely getting old quickly last night :steamhappy:

Did the friend request through steam. I'm on my cell phone at work at the moment so I don't know if that would work as well.

Here's the wiki for the "Mayor for a Day" quest;

It really helps when the bots don't shoot at you anymore. :)

You can send the in-game request when you get back to your pc later.

No way for me to drop off the Gauss on your Steam profile. :)

Lol yeah I kinda figured that 😁 Wasn't sure if the regular steam request would help or carry over to the game. Sort of "new" at the online gaming thing yet :steamhappy:

Nice :steamthumbsup: Do you happen to remember what vendor it was? It will probably be a few days before I get up to 70, maybe I will start getting lucky with that as well.
