I love the A-3-21's Plasma Rifle, high damage, high durability, can get it early on in the game. biggest problem i had was ammo and other plasma rifles not showing up soon enough for me to keep it repaired/full on ammo

 

[kommando367]

Either A1-23's plasma rifle for semi-high damage and high durability, or frag grenades. they both do a great job of killing things when my other weapons couldn't.

i like the rock-it launcher for pure fun, easy finding of ammo and it does fair damage.

i remember when me and my friend loaded it up with many things, but we always got the kills with this one bag of flour...it was AWESOME

Cap mines, combined with a high stealth skill. Sure, it won't help a lick if you get jumped by raiders or Enclave soldiers in the middle of nowhere, but as soon as you're in any building, you're practically untouchable if you're a bit patient and think tactical for a moment. Also, they're cheap to build, you can find them almost everywhere where there's still a trace of civilisation and do tons of damage.

A3-21's Plasma Rifle for me, it can kill anything from Radroaches and Mole Rats to Giant Radscorpions and Deathclaws in less than 6 shots.
And if I want to repair it, I'll just go to a place where Enclave troops spawn automatically and take their Plasma Rifles.

My favorite is the Plasma Rifle. A very good all-round weapon on later levels. Especially the Android's special version is absolutely kickass. Until i start fighting the Enclave and getting those babies regularly, Laser Rifles/Pistols and the Hunting Rifle are my most used weapons.

always will be the hunting rifle ... i fell in love with it on my first play through ... 8 different accounts and they all main the hunting rifle .. also just walking with it hanging on your back is so cool

 

[duckfi8]

railway rifle

 

[Dr Ampersand]

Deathclaw Gauntlet since it ignores armour which causes the Enclave to be incredibly easy to kill. Also the Dart Gun causes Deathclaws to be easy to kill.

 

[Pandalisk]

Plasma Rifle, NEVER leave home without it.
