Best rare weapon for quests?

[LuckyH]

I want to know what's the best(or maybe a top 3) rare weapon for quests!
Basicly I use dwellers with max Perception, Endurance, Agility and Luck and still some of them don't do much damage.
I'm looking for something expecific. Not a type of weapon but a name.

Plasma rifle. Best average damage among rares, it's ranged, and it's not AOE.

I don't think there are good multishot weapons among rares: https://github.com/therabidsquirel/The-Fallout-Shelter-FAQ/wiki/Section-20:-Quests#202

I run triple Vengeance or Double vengeance+MIRV, depending on mood.

Those are legendary, not rare.

So whats the best overall weapon dps wise? I had a group of all fatman and realized that is just.... taking way to long. All lvl 50, all full stats, all power armored up (though that doesnt matter).

Anyway, is plasma still the best overall? I read your earlier comment and swapped out a group to run just that and they seem to be clearing faster than the fatman group for sure.

Dragon's Maw is the best weapon in the game DPS-wise, but it's single-shot. Vengeance is the best multi-shot and Fatman is the best AOE.
For quests it's best to use single-shot and multi-shot weapons. For vault it doesn't matter, combat mechanics are different there, all weapons work as AOE.

> all power armored up (though that doesnt matter)
That's a mistake. You'd better pick outfits that have P A or L for quests, since they affect combat. Or just focus on Agility - attack speed depends on it. Again see above link for deeper explanation.

Plasma is simply the best DPS-wise among rares. If you have Dragon's Maw and Vengeance - use them.

Hmmm, didn't realize SPECIAL stacks after max. Thought it just capped out, interesting.

As for vault weapons I kinda put that together as a lot of enemies die without anyone firing at all where as questing enemies dont take damage until the animation is there.

Use that FAQ, it's really insightful and well-done. Better resource than game's wikia even.

I say "best" is the Excited Institute Rifle. I like the look and I like how the anims are. Dmg very close to Plasma Rifle and looks much cooler. Sold.
