Rewatched a clip this morning highlighting that you can name your weapons at the workbench, so for fun I've been thinking of names.

Examples

First pistol will be some old timey name like Betty, Old Tom or whatever since I like to keep my first one for nostalgia sake (hope they have display racks like skyrim).

A supersledge named "Misery" and go around hobbling ankles

A plasma thrower called Exorcist so I can go around puking scorching pea soup on everyone screaming "F' me Jesus"

My best sniper rifle will be either "Red Mist" or "Cherry Pie", like in every bad 80's and 90's movie when someone gets shot in the head and it looks like the effects team threw cherry pie on the wall behind his head haha.

I've got tons of these

Your turn...

Sniper rifle - the de-hatter
Silenced pistol - shhhh
Baseball bat - faceball bat
Junk jet - Santa Claus
Hunting rifle - bye bye Bambi
Combat shotgun - crowd pleaser
Laser pistol - solo's sidearm
Revolver - dusty
Automatic plasma rifle - plazmid
Powerfist - fist of chuck

To name a few ideas.

Already have a thread on this, but what the heck, I usually use the two gun principle you find in most fps now a days, so my first character gonna use these guns

Silenced, bayonet and red dot/holosight semi auto rifle- Justine (my girlfriend's name)

Full auto pistol, starting at 10 mm and possibly make it heavier caliber late game- My little friend

I call it "Vera."

00004322

0015b38d

Shotgun = Facial Deconstruction

Bat with metal spikes = The Boston Basher

Sniper Rifle = The Kiss from New Zealand

Some references in there :>

The Gonne - A Shotgun that uses 7 BBs per shot. Strong as a combat shotgun.
Piecemaker - A Balista

You guys figure out the reference. Hint: Both guns are from the same series.

I wonder how quickly firearms will be outclassed in this game.

Part of me doesn't want to name every gun I craft if I'll be able to make a better one a few hours later.

Unrelated: Is there any word on crafting? It's not a skill/technique that you can improve, is it? Because that would really make me salty. I don't wanna make hundreds of pistols just to be able to make a good rifle.

So far we seen is that some mods require something that looks like perks before you can craft some mods, for guns its a perk called "gun nut" and for energy weapon its "science"

That's reasonable. I was afraid it was something silly like "your crafting must be level 75 to do this"

Keep in mind said perks did have ranks, we saw mods that needed rank 1 and another that needed rank 3, so its not a one perk pick done kind of deal.

Looks like we'll be leaving the vault with a trusty 10mm pistol that will serve my character well throughout his new life in the wastes. That will be named "Never Forget". Ill also get myself a assault rifle that I can mod up to be a dependable all rounder. Not too clear on the name so far but that'll be "Always Remember". Also the pipe rifle looks great to be turned into a CQB carbine that I can use both as a backup and in close quarters. Being a post-war weapon I think ill name it "New Beginnings".

Thats about all the weapon I need, besides a good sword or machete which ill have to see how the armoury shakes out. I plan to play my first character for a very long time, and those 3 guns that he uses will be his trusted and valued weapons for years to come.

Laser sniper rifle modded for damage: HK-47

Silenced .308: Taps

For killing organic meatbags?

You get a gold star from me today! Best robot ever.

Acknowledgement: I agree, HK-47 was a lot of fun!

My 30-06 is called the violator. My friends hk is the molester. They will both reach out and touch you.

The thread title brings to mind a scene form "Full Metal Jacket". . . this is my rifle, this is my gun

I'm gonna call my trusty Laser Rifle my "Rooty-Tooty Point n Shooty"

Discworld weapons. Now we're talking. I'm gonna make my character look like Carrot.

Oh rats, I thought that's what you were implying.

I guess I'll have to see if I like it or not. Just hoping it's not a big grind. Fallout has never been a very grindy game and I don't want that to change.

Shouldn't they be called AT&T then?

Whatever workhorse I end up using will be inevitably named "Lucy"

Probably Movie References or just something cool. Although I may name a Laser weapon Terminator for fun.

Fatman: Porta-Pocalypse...... for those days where Im feeling charitable with hellfire
