do any vendors sell high end handmade rifles?

[Bomjus]

im one of those "buy a high end weapon, strip its mods to make the perfect gun" kind of player. but so far, i can't seem to find *any* high end handmade rifle's with good parts on them, for sale. the nuka town market weapons vendor has literally zero. porter gage has 3, but they all have the most basic receivers. im level 53 if that's relevant.

I guess you can set up weapon shops in raider-owned settlements, if they sell something it has to be handmade rifles

ooo good idea. i am not that far into nuka world stuff on this playthrough, but when i do get to that point, i will give it a shot. i'm skeptical though cause why would the outpost vendors sell them when the nukatown trader doesn't. especially since the nukatown trader has one THOUSAND 7.62 rounds for sale per reset lol. i'll give it a shot tho, thanks.

You mean the STG-47 that was never produced in USA and not imported that much by 1950 ? I tried Bethesda Exetendend Manufacturing and I still cannot make 7.62mm ammo or .45-70cal.. Useless anyways since my Two Shot Auto Assault Rifle sits at ~300dps with perks.

The weapon merchant in the Market in Nuka World. He sells the Splatter Cannon. The twin of the Problem Solver. He normally has close to 1000 rounds of the 7.62 ammo for sale. And there are roaming gangs of raiders out in the Nuka World, which carry them.

I can think of at least 3 spots they spawn at. One is near Nuka World Red Rocket.

idk if this comment is directed at me, but i'm not concerned about ammo. i am more concerned about weapon mods so i don't have to put points into gun nut.

once again, not 100% sure this is directed at me. but all im really concerned about is the weapon mods. ammo is easy to come by because of the nuka market vendor (and i modded it into the vendors in the commonwealth). and the weapon itself i can easily acquire by sniping raiders from fizztop while in stealth (if you kill them in one shot and no one is close, you don't get penalized) or buying them from gage.

my conundrum is finding *high tier* weapon mods for them. like i can go to arturo, kleo, and eleanor, and between the 3 of them, i can legit make a best in slot assault rifle by reassigning mods. i was hoping i could do the same with the handmade rifle. but that does not seem to be possible judging by my experience and these responses.

if you are taking out the raiders then you will only have one trader. all the raiders you kill though will have some mods on them sometimes though. even if you are siding with raiders you will be taking out a lot of raiders at one point. so hold off on buying for mods maybe.

raider settlements have their own shops you can setup like normal settlements but for gear its items you find in nuka world and specific to the raider clan that you assigned to that settlement. you also get weapons from tribute and of course can buy from gage and the trader area.

You can kill all of the roaming gangs of the raiders and the ones in the Nuka Market will not be hostile.

I assume you are wanting the high tier mods off them so you can make a high tiered one. With the maximum damage receiver, barrel, buttstock, etc. Farming those roaming Nuka World gangs is one way to get those.

I've seen a Handmade Rifle in the contribution chest in one of the parks assigned to a raider faction.
I haven't checked what mods it had.

There are lots of them in Nuka World. Some in the basement area of the Pack HQ. Just laying around.

No Gun Nut no mod ability, sorry, and other perks needed too, you will find out.

You don't need Gun Nut (or any other perk) to mod a weapon. You need Gun Nut and the other perks to craft your own weapon mods. You can always take mods off existing weapons. (You may have to craft the base version of a mod as a replacement in order to take off a weapon mod, but those don't require perks.)
