The Gauss Minigun is one of the more powerful weapons that you will get your hands on in Fallout 76. The weapon uses 2mm Electromagnetic Cartridges which explode on impact and is one of the better alternatives to some of the heavier weapons in the game. It is the perfect tool during a war, and much of its prowess lies in the amount of damage, its accuracy, and the magazine size.
However, unlocking the weapon is easier said than done, and there are many in the community who are quite confused as to how they can go about getting their hands on it.
Today’s Fallout 76 guide will go over how you can obtain the Gauss Minigun in the game.
The Gauss Minigun falls under the special category of Energy Guns in Fallout 76. Hence, you will not be able to obtain it by trading. You need to craft the weapon, but to do so, you will first need its schematics.
To get the schematics, you need to buy the Gauss Minigun Plan from Mortimer for 750 Gold Bullion. You will find Mortimer in the Crater Core of Toxic Valley. He is a Mister Handy merchant, and you will only be able to purchase stuff from him if you have the “Ally” reputation with the raiders.
Once you have the required allegiance, you will be able to purchase the Gauss Minigun Plan, and then craft it by using the following materials at your Workbench:
Apart from making the weapon yourself, there is another way of obtaining the Gauss Minigun in Fallout 4. Once you have the plan, the game will automatically provide you with the weapon after completing some missions and objectives. There is a bit of RNG that will be involved in this process, so if you are willing to wait it out, then just keep completing more missions.
