Fallout 4 weapons

Unlike previous installments, in Fallout 4, weapons fall under three classifications, Normal, Legendary, and Unique. Normal weapons have no special statistics on them whatsoever. Legendary weapons come with random bonuses applied to them, and are only dropped by Legendary Enemies. Unique weapons are weapons that are already named and will retain the same special bonus. Uniques are typically either bought off of merchants, or are quest rewards. Normal and Legendary weapons will change their name when mods are applied. Unique weapons will not.

All stats are given with standard weapon modifications.
