The great game Fallout 4 has a dizzying number of weapons for the player to find and modify in their efforts to recover their son and bring peace to the Commonwealth. Eventually, the player will be tossing aside weapons as they find bigger and better tools of destruction. So, it's inevitable that other weapons will rise to the top in terms of how destructive and useful they are in combat. This makes sense in a game with an RPG structure that is meant to provide players with a sense of satisfaction as they improve their combat efficiency and become more and more powerful over time. With more powerful weapons, enemies that pose a threat can turn into mincemeat in no time at all, which can be pretty satisfying for obvious reasons.
