(sp) means Spelling??

Usually means the poster is not sure about the spelling. I play on PC.

Gatling Plasma Rifle, not many people know the gun exists.
I also like the Gauss Rifle YCS/186.

I use Maria for most things at short range. 9mm is easy to find and buy making Maria the perfect weapon for taking out things like Scorpions, Rats, and Ghouls. These enemies do not have armor for the most part. When the enemy is armored though I use my modified Sniper Rifle, Minigun or the Light Machine Gun. 5mm Armor Piercing Ammo is easy to find. With the Minigun upgrade you can reduce spread making it effective at short to medium range. The Minigun or the Light Machine Gun with Armor Piercing Bullets do a nice job when dealing with Super Mutants or Caesar's Legion (something armored). If I can get them at range the Armor Piercing Sniper rifle while in Sneak Mode, with Finese, and Better Critical Perk will instant kill most armored units if I hit them in the head.

-Ratslayer. Silent death with AP loaded. It is THE gun to get at the start of a new character.

-Old .308 Sniper Rifle with all mods installed. Not much noise and hits hard.

-All American for speed sniping. Quite easy to fire off two, or more, aimed shots per second at long range. Cleared out all targets (outside) at Cottonwood Cove in less than 60 seconds.

With my current Energy Weapons toon my fav is the AER. I'm patiently waiting for a high enough lockpick skill for the Q-35, I'll probably have it tonight.

Don't need lockpick to get it, just sayin.

For me

Melee - Oh Baby!
Ranged - Q-35
All Purpose - Euclid's C-Finder

Obviously, a lot of the unique weapons are obtained through ways you'd only come across in your own game, so this thread has the potential to include spoilers to your adventures.

I've got 3 unique weapons, thus far (but I'm only 11 hours into the game at the moment).

Chopper, Big Boomer and That Gun.

The Chopper is basically just lying around at a certain farmhouse location, only picked it up when I noticed it's valuation. Big Boomer I collected after inadvertantly shooting the owner. It's a shotgun worth around 2500 caps. I loved the Terrible Shotgun on F3, so this should be right up my street. However, I'm actually contemplating restarting from prior to that as the owner in question has a few quests I'd like to do, first. That Gun is for sale in Novac, and again is a great weapon, although the reload time on it is poor. My usual weapon of choice is either the Mercenary Grenade Launcher (as part of my bonus pack), or one of the shotguns, but I've been using That Gun a fair bit since I bought it.

i just found this kid in freeside running around with a gun typ alien gun.

you can either buy it for 1k or win the speech challenge with 50 in speech or so.
it doesnt do any dmg but its look awesome with a big mark of

poseidon energy on it

Just got the Ratslayer in Broc Flower Cave. It's bloody good! It's a Varmint rifle fully modded with scope, silencer and what looks like night vision. Awesome for long range manual pop shots. I got out of the cave and took down two Bighorn's both with one shot from miles away.

Excellent weapon. Cheers for the heads up, guys.

Ranger Sequoia. Looks beautiful, and I absolutely love having junkies in freeside run at me with a pipe over their head, before I pull out the sequoia, fire one shot into their chest, and watch them fly backwards.

IMPORTANT.

You do the quest for helios one, and that weapon will become a laser designator for an orbital space laser.

I found the Ratslayer a while ago but dropped it into the lake somewhere because I thought it'd be rubbish. :facepalm:

Anyway, my favourite unique weapons so far:

Gobi Sniper Rifle -- found this by myself and was very proud. It was because of this weapon I lost fear of deathclaws.
Avenger (the Minigun) -- think this is in the radioactive area called 'The Devil's Throat'.
Tesla Cannon -- just a shame it uses 45 EC packs each shot.
Plasma Caster -- not sure if this is unique, but I've only found it in one place.

Honourable mentions go to 'Oh, Baby!', which my companions beast with, and the 'All American.'

Sadly, I've struggling to find unique Energy Weapons, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great. I'd rather not be explicitly told (ruins the surprise), but a few clues would be nice.

I'll have to look up hints for my second playthrough, because I'm playing a Guns character, and the only unique Gun I've gotten is That Gun. Plenty of melee, explosive, and energy weapons, but no Guns. /sigh

(And I screwed up the order to do stuff in the main quest, so I can't get Maria.)

~50 hours in, almost lv29.

Mercy overall, by a lot.

Thump-Thump has a nice look to it but isn't that great, especially once you have the above weapon.

I very much wish there had been a unique 10mm SMG. Just a great weapon to actually use, at least it has a couple nice mods.

Rocket launchers are traditionally one of my favorite Fallout weapons but they are total garbage in New Vegas. Such a shame.

I found "Pushy" the other day. My character has 4 str. and haven't put a point in unarmed and this thing still hits like a damn truck. Plus, it's hilarious to watch things just go flying. I love to use it on Freeside thugs or other vermin I don't care to waste bullets on.

other than that, "This machine" is pretty sweet. It makes me feel all nostalgic for my WWII shooters ^_^

I dislike unique weapons since they can't be modded.

My favorite weapon is a silenced sniper rifle.

Who cares that your Gobi and YER/136 (or whatever) can one-shot one Deathclaw when the rest of his friends are gonna rip you to shreds. The silenced sniper rifle will happily let you pick off all of them with 1-2 shots to the head a piece.

My favorite weapon is a silenced sniper rifle.

I am beginning to agree. Once I found the silencer for it, the unique sniper rifle may not get used any more.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:52 pm

I cant put down the 10mm with a laser and silencer, love the reload and sound, too bad its low DM :cryvaultboy:

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:28 pm

I want the 9mm to have a silencer!!! Or better yet maria !!!

» Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:01 am

Ratslayer, it's great

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:44 pm

I have the Ratslayer, Chainsaw, The Chopper, That Gun, Liberator and a few others I can't think of right now. But is there a point to getting the Gobi if you already have an Anti-Material Rifle? I'll probably try to get it for Boone, though. I wish you could see what kind of damage their 'stock' weapons are doing, though.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:49 pm

Right now, Gobey Campaign Sniper Rifle.
It's Desert Camo design goes well with my dry taste for blood. hehe. :mohawk:
