most powerful weapon in the game?

[Nyoblackbriar]

atm i using an explosive semi auto shotgun which i found incredibly op (damage of 350 pershot my character is psycho addict so it can be as high as 428) i can kill all kind of enemy (on very hard) without aiming, it so powerful i able to snipe with it and kill enemy behind cover, i wonder is there even more powerful weapon.

maxxed out railgun with the right perks gives me over 600 damage. I tend to like the handmade rifle maxed out, it has very rapid firing, inflicts huge amounts of damage, is supressed so I can pair it with sneak bonuses for stealth sniper builds... both good options in my opinion. then again I tend to play on low difficulty levels.

Explosive shotguns are nice, provided the enemy isn't right next to you. The explosions will kill you as well. Wounding also works well with shotguns, as bleed damage stacks and has no resistance against it.

y after i use the shotgun my death rate increase alot i guess it the only downside of it

wounding is very powerful. I got a wounding submachine gun early in the game on my recent playthrough and it actually killed things faster compared to my semi-auto rifles, which I had perks for. It fell off eventually, but was very powerful when I wanted to go into some higher level areas earlier than I should have.

Overseer's Guardian is pretty nice for a rifle.

Never Ending Double Barrel is also really good.

don't think I've ever found the never ending prefix on anything that isn't an energy weapon.

you only get it with mods or cheats.

but yeah 48 Round automatic pipe pistol is great explosive, you'll kill yourself alot less than with the shotgun, and it still does stupid amounts of damage.

Staggering Ripper. permanent stunlock on the enemy, seems fun

[“Sticky Victims”]

Big boy plus the experimental upgrade is really op

[Nite69]

use the Overseers Guardian until you can get an explosive 2 shot combat rifle, they are my 2 favorite, also get the stealth multiplyer perks up (sandman and ninja), plenty of damage and quick kills to anything

You do not need a overly powerful weapon if every shot is a critical.

I use a automatic M-14 with somewhere around 160-170 damage per shot. I just spray the area and Greenskins drop like flys. Plus, I can reach out and touch.

It took 4 mini-nukes to kill this groups of 30-40 gunners, most of who were brigadier, colonel or legendary. That's about 10 kills a round on average although it takes a few rounds before anyone actually dies.

If no mini-nukes are on-hand then a maxed-out overseers guardian is the only weapon to use against top-level gunners. My character advanced 2 levels in that shootout.

depends what you mean powerful

obviously a legendary mini nuke launcher will be op'd and break your game lol

glitch / bug wise any cryo weapon especially the cryofreezer will break enemies and your game

legendary effects endless unlimited or exploding are flat out op'd especially on automatic weapons with large mags.

radiation legendaries will be super powerful in lvl 200+ when enemies become bullet sponges and legendary enemies will regenerate health so lowering their health bar will mean less health regenerated.

stealth weapons get massive boosts with sneak attacks and rifles / pistols too with the right perk setup.


basically anything but the starting weapons / pipe weapons and that's without mods. With mods they can be pretty powerful

personaly what i considered op are
-great damage
-easy to use ( i no need to aim with my shotgun)
-easy to obtain ammo (i dont play with mod and i only use console command to fix quest bug)
