Target it in VATS and it will give you an accurate representation of what your AP cost will be during live combat. You can easily test AP cost in town, so long as you have at least a turret set up.

If a pistol were to gain +10 damage from a weapon mod and I have 3 ranks in Gunslinger, I'd instead see it rise by 16 when selecting the mod. This is good to know: weapon damage values do take your Perks and other bonuses into account when they're showing you stats, and the weapon's values with mods get boosted by the +% you have from weapon specialization Perks. With more ranks in Rifleman, the damage stated for his rifles would far exceed these values even without advanced mods from Gun Nut. He has one point in Rifleman (+20% damage), so his damage values are higher than you might see right away. The Character I'm testing the weapons below with has been set to exactly 150 AP for easier math, I can't tell the exact AP cost and must estimate. I'll explain the changes that drastically alter the weapon as I go, and hopefully you'll learn enough to do what you want with your weapons and get more mileage out of them while also learning something useful. One turned into a sniper rifle, the other retaining its original name albeit with a very different personality. I've covered the weapons mods that affect AP usage in VATS for do-it-yourself-ers, but figured that some new or uninformed players might like to see a couple of examples of how to fine-tune weapons to you needs. The game generates names based on the mods on a weapon, and a sniper rifle is a hunting or combat rifle with a scope! Test Weapon AP by targeting people and turrets in town. Some players may wonder how to get a sniper rifle in Fallout 4, without realizing there is no 'sniper rifle'.

Players who do not yet own Fallout 4 and wonder how weapon mods work may find this enlightening and encouraging. This Sniper Rifle is quite powerful and has served my mid-level character very well.ĭepending how far you are in the game, this guide may or may not be helpful to you.
