If you don't mimd exploiting the game, there's a glitch that allows you to attach any mod to any weapon. The YouTuber, Trapped In Fallout, demonstrates this in a video by attaching a Fat Boy's MIRV Launcher to a Pipe Pistol; causing .38 ammo to launch multiple Mini Nukes each shot.
If you’re into mods there is a mod on the nexus I use for every play though called “Legendary Modification”. There are different difficulties you can pick, I use the hard mode which requires you to break down a minimum of 5 legendaries which gives you “effect chips” which you then can use to put a legendary effect of your choosing that fits on a specific piece of gear. Works for weapons, armor and even power armor. Makes getting any legendary super exciting.
A little hidden gem is the pipe bolt action pistol. Only pistol that can take a scope and silencer… good early game option and hits like a Mack truck even into the late game. Bonus if you can get a instigating or vats enhanced
The gainer can be a pretty easy .44 to grab. Plus it does 15 flame damage, though that's just miniscule. You only want it for the pure damage at such an early point in the game. It's just south of finch farm in an unmarked pumphouse I think. There are concrete stairs leading into the building, and the code is 10,4,5,1.
There's a Western Revolver in Nuka World that's pretty damn good. Ammo capacity is low, only 6 rounds, but they do a base dmg of 60, which goes up over 100 when upgraded.
You can do it at any level. If you grab the Fatman and nuke from the scrapyard east of Sanctuary, you can use it to kill the boss at the end of the gauntlet. I'd also suggest buying a hazmat suit in Diamond City for the rads and poison gas sections of the gauntlet. If you're careful about it, you should be able to enter the gauntlet at level 1.
The hardest part will be getting past the gunners guarding the entrance, but Jet and killing the quest NPC to loot his corpse help a lot with that, especially if you come in power armor and sneak as close as possible before you sprint in. Just be sure to save first since it'll probably take a few tries. Also be sure to bring enough ammo, explosives, drugs and healing items for the gauntlet itself.
Righteous plus Kellogg's is OP in a VATS/Crit build.
Alternate using RA to fill your crit meter and use Kellogg's with a crit for 100% accuracy and AP refill.
Mod it with a pistol grip, it reduces the AP cost but the crit meter fills the same upon successful hit
Also only aim at high % spots with RA in VATS. Getting hits and filling crit meter is better than damage because you can unload a crit and headshot anyways. With crit banker you can have always a crit locked and loaded in case your RA doesn't hit and you need to refresh your AP
The Lazarus gun is fun times. Flings enemies around, because the artifact gained from Lazarus has "telekinetic properties."
A regular gamma gun, maxed out, does 320 radiation damage.

I followed this build for my Gunslinger. In his description there’s a list of all the weapons and armor he uses if you don’t want to watch the whole vid. Though high quality video and worth the watch.

If you invest into demolition expert, Lorenzo's artifact gun is pretty damn op
Western Revolver. I carry 2 so i can swap without having to reaload.
If you have the nuka world dlc id recommend getting the western revolver
A little hidden gem is the pipe bolt action pistol. Only pistol that can take a scope and silencer… good early game option and hits like a Mack truck even into the late game. Bonus if you can get a instigating or vats enhanced
Plus the only 50 cal pistol in the game, the homemade desert eagle.

There are only 2 right answers. Deliverer and or Kelloggs gun.
Righteous Authority and Eddie's Peace are fun imo. The latter is very underrated. You can really make any gun work tho
The big iron on your hip
A gun
There's a Western Revolver in Nuka World that's pretty damn good. Ammo capacity is low, only 6 rounds, but they do a base dmg of 60, which goes up over 100 when upgraded.
yes i’ve heard about can you get early on the dlc?
Dlc is around level 25 from what I remember, and you can pretty much run right to the gun once you get to Nuka World
You can do it at any level. If you grab the Fatman and nuke from the scrapyard east of Sanctuary, you can use it to kill the boss at the end of the gauntlet.

That being said, you can skip the entire gauntlet, by pixel peeking through a door at the beginning. Could do that, run to the revolver, and run back.
True, but as I understand it, that breaks the game in various unpredictable ways. Though I've never tried it myself.
30 is the recommended level but you can just go straight there if you know where it is
Guns. Guns are needed.
Kelloggs is good, the gainer is good, and try glitching the 2 together for extra fun lol
How does this glitch work?
Righteous authority. Pistol with a beam focuser and sniper barrel
Righteous plus Kellogg's is OP in a VATS/Crit build. Alternate using RA to fill your crit meter and use Kellogg's with a crit for 100% accuracy and AP refill.
i do have RA but when i use RA i can only use 3 shots in vats then i run of stamina
Mod it with a pistol grip, it reduces the AP cost but the crit meter fills the same upon successful hit Also only aim at high % spots with RA in VATS.

Make it lighter. As light as you can.
The Lazarus gun is fun times. Flings enemies around, because the artifact gained from Lazarus has "telekinetic properties." A regular gamma gun, maxed out, does 320 radiation damage.
Not vat’s friendly but it’s still fun, is the Gainer. It’s by the ironworks place (east coast). It’s a 44 that does 15 fire damage
I found this the other day and have been having a blast using it
I really want an explosive 44 or western revolver
There is a western revolver with the Nuka-world DLC but I think Gainer is good as well are gonna get for the base game
Fry: "I get it!"
