Best Explosives and All Explosives List

All Weapon Types Explained

Weapons by Function

Rifles	Rifles are typically what you'd use as your main gun, due to the higher fire rate, larger magazine size, and better range and accuracy, compared to pistols and shotguns.
Pistols	Pistols are handguns you'd normally use as a secondary sidearm to complement the primary gun. They're lighter and faster to equip, making them good in a pinch.
Shotguns	Shotguns are for close-quarters fights, where enemies are grouped together. They pack a punch, despite their low fire rate and range, as well as slow reload speed.
Heavy Weapons	Heavy weapons are normally two-handers that have a slow build or reload speed, like miniguns and launchers. They're incredibly powerful, but best used against bosses or solo, tanky opponents.
Melee Weapons	Melee Weapons are objects you wield against enemies. In Fallout 4, you'll encounter blades and blunt objects that can be used as melee weapons.
Unarmed Weapons	Separate from Melee Weapons, Unarmed Weapons are weapons you equip on your fists to deal stronger punching damage, such as boxing gloves and brass knuckles.
Explosives	Explosives in Fallout 4 come in the form of grenades, planted mines, and non-lethal throwables like gas grenades and EM pulse 'nades.

Weapons by Damage Type

Ballistic / Physical	Ballistic or Physical Damage comes from weapons that only use standard bullets, melee weapons, and regular explosives. It is effective against most organic enemies.
Energy	Energy Damage is mostly effective against mechanical units. Some weapons or items that can inflict Energy Damage can also be used against organic enemies, but with reduced effect.
Radiation	Radiation Damage reduces the target's health by a certain percentage for each hit. It can still kill enemies as the built-up health reduction can stack and put their health to 0. It is effective against human enemies only and can heal Ghouls instead of damaging them.

Weapons by Perk

Weapon Type	Perk
Automatic Weapons	Commando (Agility 2)
Non-Automatic Pistols	Gunslinger (Agility 1)
Non-Automatic Rifles	Rifleman (Perception 2)
Heavy Weapons	Heavy Gunner (Strength 5)
Melee Weapons	Big Leagues (Strength 2)
Unarmed Weapons	Iron Fist (Strength 1)
Explosives	Demolition Expert (Perception 5)

You can increase the damage output of weapons by leveling up certain Perks. Note that a weapon is not inherently automatic or non-automatic, as a good amount of the weapons can be converted from automatic to non-automatic, and vice versa, via Weapon Mods.
