Title says it all? I hate these short sighted anarchists but they made the Railway weapon exclusive to their quest as far as I know. Any other way to get it?

No.

But you can string them along far enough to get the Railway Rifle... then kill them.

Immediately after getting it, if you've stacked your quests right.

U don't need to join to get the railway gun. go to big johns salvage, it is hidden there. Look around and read everything in the terminals there to find it.

Big Johns Salvage? Lower or upper map east or west?

It's random loot, too. I picked one up off of ... something today. I already had the one from Desdemona and the one from the scrapyard.

*also you do not have to side with the RR at all. Killing Desdemona gets you the gun.

Can I reverse pick pocket it off of her?

I have no idea. Maybe.

Also word of advice do not go there with X6 if youre still under cover i thought he'd stay outside instead we shot up the place in an unintended firefight. X6's a snitch

Yeh the Railway Rifle can be found in a distress message radio thing.....no issues there. I just wish there was a way to learn ballistic weave without working for abominations. I missed out on that and probably wouldn't have done it if I knew about it but clothes are so dull without it. Hopefully in upcoming DLC we can get some more clothing modification options.

Agreed also wish ballistic weave applied to Synth Clothes.

Works on the Courser outfit. And adds to already existing buffs. Just add fedora and good to go.

The courser outfit looks freaking lame.....I wouldn't wear it any more than I'd side with the Institute or actually work for the robot sympathizers to get the clothing modification.

The rifle is rare, but not unique. The only unique gun in the game is the Deliverer, and for that you have to do the first Railroad quest.

And are you kidding? Courser outfit and sunglasses were the perfect combination for my sniper

There's also a railway rifle near Sanctuary at the.... cymals at the ready... railyard. It's in one of the boxcars. Found it on my second day playing, though I've never used it.
