Don't leave Vault 101 without the information in this guide. Easily locate and acquire special and unique Fallout 3 weapons including A3-21's Plasma Rifle, The Kneecapper, Colonel Autumn's Pistol, and the Wazer Wifle.
Exploring the expansive capital wasteland in Bethesda’s latest role-playing masterpiece Fallout 3 is one of the most amazing gaming experiences in recent memory. Few recent games can even come close to the overall scope of the game and intricate detail with which it is realized.
The trek through the ruins of Washington D.C. can be a dangerous undertaking, however. With super mutants and ghouls on their tail, along with armies of mutated super bugs, the lone player needs every advantage he can get. Fortunately, for those looking for a little extra firepower, several special weapons are available for those who know where to find them.
This is by no means an all-inclusive list of the special weapons available in Fallout 3, but finding these weapons will definitely make life outside of Vault 101 a bit easier.
Fair warning, some of the descriptions may contain minor plot spoilers.
