Fallout 4: 15 Incredibly Unique Weapons You Must Find

3. Overseer's Guardian

Where you find it: Tucked away inside Vault 81. Go due west of the Diamond City Markets to find an unassuming cave etched into the hillside and venture inside. You'll be met by one of those cog-shaped Vault doors that you'll need to open with your Pip Boy. Surprisingly, the Vault's resident are still alive, and are actually quite welcoming to outsiders, even going as far as to trade with you and anyone else that come to visit. You'll be able to purchase the Overseer's Guardian from one of the vendors therein. Why you need it: In comparison to others on this list, the Overseer's Guardian isn't particularly powerful or cool-looking, but there's a very good reason for it being here. This particular assault rifle can be acquired very early on in the game - when the only weapons you'll loot off the dead are likely to be 'Pipe' gun trash - and blows everything else out of the water in low level gameplay. That's thanks largely to the gun's ability to shoot two projectiles per one bullet spent - making it an excellent tool for conserving ammo and felling tougher enemies like Super Mutants.
