Getting the Perfect Storm unique weapon

The Perfect Storm is a unique 10mm SMG with a folded stock and large flash suppressor that causes 24 points of burn damage for three seconds after each shot, which makes it very powerful. The Perfect Storm is unlocked by completing a quest found in Wavy Willard's Water Park. Look for the crocodile cartoon icon on your map to find it. It is in the northwest corner of the lakes area. Interact with the robot named "Miss Annie" in the lazy river area to begin the "Cold Case" quest. To complete the quest, do the following steps:

• 1. Find the Park Security Terminal and access it. Read through the terminal messages until it is revealed that the holotape with a clue is locked in the Security Office safe. The Security Office safe is built into the floor in the room with the terminal. It requires Level 0 Lockpicking skill.
• 2. Play the tape, then travel to Crocolossus Mountain and enter the underground "Employees Only" area. The second clue is located in a cabinet.
• 3. Go back upstairs and search the mailbox just outside the Crocolossus Mountain ride. The clue will lead you to the top of the Ssslither Slide. Collect the KidSecure ID from the container. It will direct you to the Clarksburg post office, south of the water park. To enter Clarksburg, you need a Hazmat Suit to survive the radiation.
• 4. Once you reach the post office in Clarksburg, use the terminal inside. Select "[Search By Box Number]" and choose "[Box 012]" to get Otis Pike's address.
• 5. Go to Otis Pike's address (southwest) and access the terminal. Read through the diary entries to get the next clue. You will then need to go to Grafton Dam.
• 6. After entering Grafton Steel and fighting through the Super Mutants guarding the area, find five clues at the Dam to be directed to the Woods Estate. The Woods Estate is located on the southwest shore of the lakes area, just south of the water park. It is a destroyed house. Read the note in the desk on the upper floor, then return to Miss Annie to complete the "Cold Case" quest and get the Perfect Storm 10mm SMG.

Getting the Laser Minigun

Join The Enclave faction, then access the Enclave Vault terminal to purchase the Laser Minigun plans for 1,000 caps. The Laser Minigun is one of the most powerful weapons in the game.

Joinning the Enclave faction

Go to the Waste Dump on the eastern-most river on the map (just look for the large icons on the map). Once you reach the dump, search for a cave guarded by Deathclaws. Clear the Abandoned Waste Dump cave and enter the bunker interior. Complete the puzzles to unlock the location of the Enclave Vault. Travel to the Enclave Vault and accept their faction quest. Note: Before beginning the Enclave faction quest, you need Level 3 Lockpicking/Hacking skill. The Enclave will send you to a new location. Go to Sugar Grove and destroy the robot guardian. Collect the tape from the Sugar Grove terminal, then return to the Enclave bunker to turn in the quest item and join the Enclave faction.

Playthrough Strategy Tips

• Tip 1: Collect as Many Materials as Possible: Materials are extremely valuable in Fallout 76. You will encounter vendors, but everything you really need is carried by enemies or found as loot. To earn XP, kill enemies and explore areas. It is recommended to stay in the opening area for as long as possible. Unlock, hack, loot, and kill everything in the area for easier levels. Looting is not too useful on its own. There are vendors, but selling stuff is not always useful. Instead, get a crafting bench and scrap useless items. Base materials are used for crafting, and they are far lighter than standard items like weapons or armor. You can carry lots of base materials, which is very helpful early in the game.
• Tip 2: Create Bulk Bundles: You can use a Tinkerer Workbench for more than just scraping items. You can also transform base materials into a "bulk" bundle. Use the "bulk" function to place a lot of base materials into a single bundle with just 1 weight. This allows you to carry multiple bundles of bulk materials with almost no weight. You can also store the bulk bundles in your stash for later.
• Tip 3: Upgrade Skills Wisely: Place your skill points into Perception and Intelligence first to unlock Hacking and Lockpicking (two very important skills). If you want to loot everything and explore all areas, lockpicking and hacking are mandatory. Unlock perks related to those activities first, then upgrade your Strength. Strength not only allows you to kill enemies more easily so you can save ammo, but it also unlocks the Rat Pack perk at Level 8. This perk increases your carrying capacity, which is very helpful when you have to often carry most of your stuff around.
• Tip 4: Move Your Camp to Quicksave: Your camp can be used like an item, and dropped down at a new location as you explore. This allows you a safe place to sleep and save your game, allowing you to respawn at the campsite most recently used. Use your portable camp regularly as you explore, or before getting into a dangerous fight, so you can save and do not have to start too far away or lose a lot of progress if you die.
• Tip 5: Get a Gun at the Start: After leaving Vault 76, there is a corpse with a gun to your right. It only has approximately eight bullets, but if you miss this weapon, you will have to fight enemies with your fists at the start.
• Tip 6: Get Power Armor Early: You can get some Power Armor shortly after leaving Vault 76. Go to the Morgantown Trainyard, which is straight east of Vault 76. There is a partial Power Armor suit inside the train car with "USA" labeled on the side. It contains a frame, helmet, and few random armor pieces.
• Tip 7: Get a Hazmat Suit: The Hazmat Suit completely protects against the negative effects of radiation. It can be found in the Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06. You do not actually have to go inside to get the suit. Simply travel to the plant (it is the huge nuclear power plant on the west side of the map, just off the river). After entering the plant grounds, stay to the left side to find an exterior catwalk. Follow it up and around to the first roof landing to find a small exterior trailer-like office. There is a Hazmat Suit sitting on some boxes inside.
• Tip 8: Get a Mini-Gun: While you are in the Poseidon Energy Plant, there is a common Mini-Gun that spawns in this area. From the rooftop while wearing the Hazmat Suit, go up the catwalks to find a balcony with a burnt corpse standing on the edge. A Mini-Gun will sometime spawn on the wooden crates in this area. If it does not appear, it can spawn in a different nearby location. Proceed up to the second rooftop, then go to the catwalks above the interior office door. A Mini-Gun will sometimes spawn on the landing with the sitting corpse. There is one other area the Mini-Gun regularly spawns. Go up the catwalks until you reach one that spirals around a tower. At the top is a dead end with a few crates. The Mini-Gun at this location spawns very often.
• Tip 9: Get Free Materials from Responder Bots: This is only useful early in the game, but sometimes you will encounter Responder Bots that try to help you. These bots are useful if you are struggling, and will sometimes even give you free items. Talk with Responder Bots before killing them to sometimes get materials, which you cannot loot off their bodies after killing them.
• Tip 10: Get a Bobblehead: Bobbleheads spawn in semi-random locations in Fallout 76, but there is a bobblehead that spawns in a common location at the County Fair (large Ferris Wheel on the map). The Bobblehead can be found on the table covered with old Halloween decorations inside the shed/metal building on the edge of the fairground.

All Power Armor Locations

In Fallout 76, you can find Power Armor Frames abandoned in various places in the world - from locked up sheds to military installations and the darkened interiors of forgotten factories. You can often find them sitting next to Power Armor Stations, just waiting to be claimed.

Getting the Rose's Syringer unique weapon

The Rose's Syringer unique weapon can be obtained at the "Top Of The World" resort, which is located in the center of the map in the Savage Divide region. The quest for the special syringer is given by a Raider Robot named "Rose" on the top floor of the resort. Talk to Rose, and she will send you on three Raider faction quests: "Signal Strength", "Flavors Of Mayhem", and "Keys To The Past". Complete all her quests to get Rose's Syringer. Most syringers are not too useful, but this syringer turns any enemy shot with it extremely powerful for 60 seconds, and then extremely weak for 60 seconds. As long as you can survive the first 60 seconds, even high-level enemies can then easily be killed. This allows Level 10-20 players to kill Level 40-50 enemies. Note: While at the "Top Of The World" resort, you can also find a Vault-Tec Bobblehead on the Mezzanine Level, on a speaker near the elevator exit.
