Elijah's Jury Rigged Tesla Cannon / Tesla Beaton Prototype
Notes : Well , I'm lazy so I'll just get straight to the point. Tesla Beaton Prototype is stronger but have a slower rate of fire - I personally recommend the Tesla Beaton Prototype and it can be found in the Crashed Vertibird.
Elijah's version is an Old World Blues DLC and is found in Elijah's Watch.
= Explosives ( Projectiles ) =
Great Bear Grenade Rifle
Notes : Again , laziness strikes. Red Victory Grenade Rifle have a higher DPS rate but I consider it a waste of expensive Grenade rounds - so use this one instead.
It's a Lonesome Road DLC so if you don't have it , use Thump Thump instead - it can be found in Nellis Array.
Mercy
Notes : Found in Dead Wind Cavern - a powerful Grenade Machinegun but is equally hard to get since it's guarded by tons of Deathclaws
Anabelle
Notes : A powerful version of the Missile Launcher found on the Black Mountain - it's equipped by the Super Mutant on the sniper post.
Red Glare
Notes : A Rocker Launcher found in Lonesome Road. It doesn't deal as much damage as the Anabelle and it uses Rocket Rounds instead - but it does have a nutty DPS rate.
= Unarmed =
Two-Step Goodbye
Notes : A GRA DLC weapon and probably the most powerful Unarmed Weapon in the game. It provides additional Critical Damage and enemies will blow up upon death - which is both a form of benefit and problem since the damage can hurt you or your allies.
It's sold in the GRA store.
= Bladed =
Blood-Nap
Notes : Whilst not a remarkable toe-to-toe weapon , this knife does increase Sneaking capabilities and have a powerful Critical Factor - making it the perfect sneaking weapon in the game.
It is a Lonesome Road weapon and can only be obtained after preventing the Warhead strike in Courier's Mile.
Gehenna
Notes : A very powerful version of the Shishkebab - and a GRA weapon.
Protonic Inversal Axe
Notes : 'Tis sad but true , most decent melee weapons are DLCs.
This is found in Old World Blues - in the Cuckoo's Nest , carried by one of the Lobotomites.
It's a very powerful EMP melee based weapon and is still stronger than most Bladed weapons when using it on normal enemies.
= Blunt =
Oh Baby!
Notes : Found in Charlestone Cave - it's a fairly powerful Super Sledge.
Old Glory
Notes : It can be found after killing Ulysses in Lonesome Road or in the rewards footlocker after the DLC is completed.
Whilst it doesn't deal quite as much base DMG as the Oh Baby! , it does have a bonus Critical rate.
X2- Antenna
Notes : An Old World Blues weapon which is an EMP Blunt Weapon.
It's a quest item and I would prefer that you use the Protonic Inversal Axe.
