Ashmaker
Variant Of: Minigun
Location: Potential reward for completing the quest The Big Dig
The Big Dig Quest
The player character receives the quest after talking to a woman named Bobbi No-Nose in a backstreet at Goodneighbor. She says that she's planning on breaking into the Diamond City strongroom located under the mayor's office. At first the player character needs to go down in The Dig, a tunnel starting at Bobbi's house basement and help diggers fight mirelurks. After, she asks the player character to meet her in Diamond City and help free another member of the heist team, Mel.
Freeing Mel can take one of several forms: bribing the guard nearest to him, pickpocketing a key, setting the protectron behind him loose to kill the guards, or passing a moderate or hard persuasion check. It may be difficult to find the right guard as there are no distinguishing characteristics. Breaking him out with lockpicking will likely result in security becoming hostile. To the left of the cell is the office, inside steal the key from the desk, then sneak to the right side of the cell. When the guards are not looking unlock the cell with the key and meet Mel outside. If the guards spot you they will become hostile.
Finally, the team goes into the tunnel, traveling through old metro stations and basements filled with feral ghouls and more mirelurks. Mel will frequently express his doubts about the tunnel actually leading to Diamond City, as the team is heading too far South. After they make it to a cavity underneath the strongroom and blow the ceiling with the help of Sonya, a modified eyebot, it is revealed that it's not Diamond City's strongroom but a secluded storage room owned by John Hancock, Goodneighbor's mayor.
The room is filled with the mayor's henchmen. The player character should be subsequently given the choice to persuade Bobbi to leave and surrender, kill all the guards and stay with Bobbi, or betray Bobbi and kill her for the mayor instead; if the player character enters the room wearing headwear incorporating a targeting hud, Fahrenheit and her man will be automatically hostile, forcing the PC to kill them to continue. If you still have the headwear on after finishing the quest by getting paid, Bobbi will also immediately turn hostile and attack.
If the player character persuades Bobbi to leave or betray her, Fahrenheit will reward them with a legendary minigun with incendiary bullets (+15 fire damage); Ashmaker. Additionally, John Hancock will become available as a follower.
Even if the player character kills Fahrenheit and sides with Bobbi, Ashmaker can be looted from her corpse and John Hancock will still be available as a follower after finishing Hancock's follow up quest of killing Bobbi.

Broadsider
Variant Of: Broadsider
Location Reward for completing the quest Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution
Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution Quest
1. Head to the USS Constitution (East of Bunker Hill). As you approach the ship, the Lookout will meet you and tell you to head up into the ship and meet Captain Ironsides on top of the USS Constitution.
2. After talking to Captain Ironsides, scavengers will attack and you will need to deal with them. (OPTIONAL: Fire the Cannons). Hitting the robot allies with stray fire will result in the entire crew turning hostile and therefore failing this quest; however the cannon are safe to fire as they do not affect the robots.
3. Talk with Bosun on the third deck inside the USS Constitution.
4. He will ask you to repair or replace 3 power cables inside the ship. (It requires INT 3+ to repair the power cables or grab the power cables to repair them) (OPTIONAL: Grab power cables).
5. Return to Bosun and talk with him again.
6. He will ask you to repair or buy a replacement power relay coil.(It requires INT 5+ to repair the power relay coil).
7. Next, you will need to find Mr. Navigator and offer your assistance.
8. Mr. Navigator will ask you to recover the guidance chip for the ship from the scavengers.
Acquiring The Guidance
1. Head back towards Bunker Hill and talk to Mandy Stiles. At this point you will have to at least claim to choose to help the scavengers to destroy the robot crew or side with Captain Ironsides. Both paths follow the same pattern, but with a few differences. (Note: some companions such as Robert Joseph MacCready, John Hancock and Cait dislike it if you say you choose Ironsides, and other companions such as Codsworth like it).
1.If you side with the scavengers, they give you the guidance chip for free and ask you to bring them any equipment the ship requires so they can sabotage it, but warn you not to double cross them.
2.If you side with Ironsides, you'll have to steal the chip from the scavengers camp (there is a mercenary who stands in the room where the chip is, crouch behind the desk to the left you can remain hidden and steal the chip). (Note: some companions such as John Hancock, Preston Garvey, Codsworth and Piper dislike you stealing the chip).
Stealing the guidance chip will turn the local scavengers hostile, if spotted. Leave any companion out of sight, use a stealth boy, and leave through the chained door in the room containing the guidance chip for a good chance to successfully burglarize the scavengers undetected.
1. Head back to the USS Constitution and install the guidance chip on the main deck.
2. Now return to Mr. Navigator and talk with him (he should have moved up onto the main deck beside where you installed the guidance chip).
3. Mr. Navigator will now ask you to repair or retrieve the Poseidon radar transmitter, which is located beside Mr. Navigator and beside where you installed the guidance chip on the main deck. (It requires INT 9+ to repair the radar transmitter or you can retrieve a replacement from Poseiden Energy Turbine 18-F, North West of the BADTFL regional office. You may also be sent to the Poseidon Reservoir, south of Fort Hagen, to retrieve the replacement part.
4. After repairing the guidance systems, talk to Mr. Navigator again and he will tell you to talk with Captain Ironsides again.
5. He will ask you to retrieve FLL3 turbopump bearings from a specific location. Known locations for this part of the quest are: the Corvega assembly plant South of Lexington, Fort Hagen at the West edge of the map, and General Atomics factory northwest of The Castle.
6. Return to the USS Constitution and head into the captains quarters on the second deck, then install the the FLL3 Turbopump Bearings.
7. Return to Captain Ironsides on the main deck and talk to him, while doing so the scavengers will attack the ship again, eliminate them. If you let them get to the top deck you will fail the quest so a quick save is recommended before doing this part.
8. Head back up to Captain Ironsides, and he will reward you with the Broadsider and ask you to complete a final task of firing up the auxiliary power to launch the ship.
9. Activate the auxiliary power circuit and watch the ship take off. Quest complete after the ship crash.
10. If the player character reaches the tower in which the ship crashes (using two elevators on the east side of the ship at ground level), Ironsides will name you honorary lieutenant and grant you use of the captain quarters as well as the Lieutenant's hat.
Siding With The Scavengers
There is no difference between siding with Ironsides or the scavengers up until you are told to get and install the guidance chip and radar transmitter, as is mentioned above.
1. Once you retrieve the FLL3 Turbopump Bearings, take them to Mandy instead of Ironsides. Davies will sabotage them so that the ship will explode when the rockets are fired up.
2. Install the Turbopump Bearings and talk to Ironsides again. Go ahead and agree to turn on the auxiliary power.
3. After the rockets fail the ship will remain landlocked and the robot crew will turn hostile. Storm the boat with the scavengers and defeat Ironsides.
4. Meet up with Mandy after claiming the ship - she has wandered away to near Cabot House - to find out the scavengers held a vote and are not going to split the cut with you and have, in fact, voted to kill you.
5. Regardless of what dialogue option you choose the scavengers must be defeated to complete the quest. NOTE: They seem to be very slow to turn hostile if they turn hostile at all, and there's only four of them (one on the ship, one by the scavenger claim, Davies, and Mandy).

Death From Above
Variant Of: Missile Launcher

Final Judgment
Variant Of: Gatling Laser
Location: Carried by Elder Maxson; available during Airship Down or Precipice of War or Rockets' Red Glare
It is carried by Arthur Maxson during the quest Airship Down. If you are currently siding with the Minutemen and you want to obtain this weapon without siding with the Brotherhood of Steel, just continue the Railroad quests until you receive the quest Precipice of War, but do not go to Police Station. Instead go to The Prydwen, and kill Elder Maxson in order to receive Final Judgment.
Alternately you can still acquire the weapon after completing Precipice of War by continuing with Rockets' Red Glare; engage the Brotherhood of Steel members in the main deck area, plant the explosives, and then you should get ambushed by Maxson and two unnamed Brotherhood of Steel members (one will have power armor and a Gatling laser) as you exit the Prydwen via the command deck. Be prepared as they'll open fire as soon as loading completes, there's very little cover available, and the energy weapons can deplete your health very quickly.
Maxson also uses it during The Nuclear Option.

Great guides! I seem to have lost my Ashmaker...like really quickly, its just gone. Probably in a box in Sanctuary somewhere....
DooksandPooks
If any of you pieces of shit steal from Hancock...then that's fine cause you gotta try both outcomes in a Bethesda game!
iamdanman
How do you have that much Adhesive?
bigK123332
Final judgement has to be my favorite.
HeWhoLies
You can mod Big Boy to shoot 16 mini nukes every shot for the cost of one
arthurdubya
But the range becomes absolute shit.

Starjadian
That's what I'm hoping for lol
volatiley
NOW you can be as uniquely similar to everyone else as you could want!
H0b0J0e
Is that a missile launcher.. with a bayonet?
dreadlifts
Explosive Minigun. Game over.
arthurdubya
I have this. 81 splash damage per round. I am kind of bored with the game now. :/
NightRush
Works great with an auto combat shotgun too. Because every single shot will explode. It will melt anything in seconds.
PVS1
Final Judgement is ridiculously powerful. If you want to keep the game challenging, avoid this weapon.
Rotmaster
Just because it has a name and a legendary effect does not make it unique, it's unique when it has a part that can't be made by the player
Rotmaster
Only the junk jet and the broadsider are unique on this list
AdeptusCannibus
Now I don't have to go to IGN.
Chronk
I actually just did The Big Dig quest last night. I never got the chance to side with Fahrenheit. Wish I'd known about the helmet sooner. :(

So. What do they DO
chesterthecheetomolester
Ashmaker: 8... fucking... damage...
Arginotz
Minigun tho
Martyhollow
Bookmarked +1 AMAZING
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I once found a rocket launcher that did extra poison damage. Still trying to wrap my head around that.
ATuningFork
I've got a legendary Fat Man that deals an extra 25 points of bleeding damage. So very helpful..m
Fuzzylitenin
I found one labelled "Hunters missile launcher" Because i regularly hunt deer with a fucking ROCKET LAUNCHER
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Hey, you've seen what radiation does to wildlife. It's only sensible.
JhericFury
Most of the unique guns (even modded) are pretty meh compared to regular weapons modded, i wish there was more unique armour
JhericFury
Also, not the same, but my character has a radiation gun with a legendary "+50% extra damage to robots"...thanks, really useful.
TheManWithNoNameZappBrannigan
I disagree. I had a shotgun that was 25% extra damage. Thats 25% Im not getting from Mods.
JhericFury
I'm not saying some aren't good, i'm just saying most aren't, and they're not as impressive as i'd want a "unique weapon" to be.
AngryArmour
Know what would be awesome? A "Scavenger Armor" made of Super Mutant armour modified to fit a Power Armor Frame.
SirReginaldXII
You mean like raider power armor..?
AngryArmour
Not really. Raider Power Armor looks like a heavier version of the raider armors, not as Super Mutant Armor retrofitted for a human.
dancfontaine
How is Fat Man unique? There are several of them
AngryArmour
*Double shot fatman. As in a fatman that launches two projectiles for one ammo cost every time you pull the trigger.
MarksmanPenguin
Why does the missile launcher have a bayonet!?
DukeFlipside
If someone's in bayonet range do you *really* want to be shooting a high-explosive missile at them..?
MarksmanPenguin
Yes
Rookofpawns
I like your attitude.
GuardianDinklage
What about taming a deathclaw? does that count as a heavy weapon?
FistRaisedHigh
Do what?
Arginotz
One of the charisma perks is befriending wasteland creatures. As long as you stay outside any deathclaw can act as your companion.
FistRaisedHigh
Whaaat? I never thought about that. Thanks!
Arginotz
No problem hoss
IOnlyReadPhonetic
What about the Sinister Mr. Fister?
volatiley
obama is a weapon?
ianrl337
not a heavy weapon
IOnlyReadPhonetic
Cpt. Richard Ravager III would disagree
ShabbaLife
Levelling system is ruined. Graphics and NPC behaviour not improved from Skyrim. Sorry
EuthAllPitBulls
Minimal RPG elements, crap dialogue system, no karma, no unique traits to make your character interesting. OK shooter disappointing fallout.
ShabbaLife
Yess, the dialogue system too, canned response the same no matter what you say
neverused
Kinda wished the "unique" weapons were more unique, like "That gun" or the "M
neverused
"Mysterious Magnum

sdlabs
This Machine was my favourite. Because M1.
RobertNAdams
I swear that I kept using it until it was well past practical because DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Jusmar
*PING*
UncleWashy
Agreed. I was excited about the uniques, until I realized there was literally nothing special about them. Mods are appeasing me though.
joejoe13
I find it ironic that the thing that promises to bring the most variety to weapons actually makes them the most boring thing to find...
CerebrawlHemmorage
The mod "Any Mod Any Weapon" lets you make more unique weapons than these.
AngryArmour
The railway rifle is pretty awesome though. Broadsider as well. The "common" legendaries have really screwed over unique weapons though.
Mistruths
Idk, the double nuke Fat Man is pretty cool. But on the whole, yeah, they seem weak.
AngryArmour
*Double shot MIRV
UncleWashy
I'm on a PC, so I can monkey with the console commands now that I'm 300 hrs in. That may be detracting from the individual uniques.
