Elder Maxsons loot (Siding with BOS)

[Spray]

Hi, If I side with the brotherhood is there anyway to get Elder Maxsons items 'legit'. I want his coat and gatling laser but I'm guessing I can't get it if I side with the Brotherhood

IIRC the only legit way to get his laser is to side with the RR.
May also be true for his coat, not sure about that.

You can get Final Judgement if you side with the BoS by having a weapon with high disarm chance and hitting him during the Nuclear Option quest. He might or might not become hostile, especially if you have to hit him a lot.

As for his coat you need to kill him for it so that would require you to do RR quests up until at least Precipice of War, at which point he'll spawn both items in his inventory and instead of continuing the quest to the Cambridge PD, you have to go to the Prydwen and kill him. This way you can then side with Minutemen if you don't want to continue with the RR.
