Fallout 76 weapons/Comparison

Overview
All weapons in Fallout 76, ballistic, energy, explosive, melee, or unarmed have a randomly generated condition bar, the same weapon may have a different amount of condition and a different condition bar length. Player characters with higher Intelligence can craft weapons with larger durability bars. Players with higher Luck can influence the condition of found weapons.

Additionally, a weapon's level determines the base damage output and condition of the weapon. An example would be the combat rifle having a base damage increase by increments of 4 between level 20 and 50 leaving an unmodified level 50 combat rifle to have an additional 12 base damage over the level 20 counterpart and having a slightly longer condition bar. Higher level weapons also have higher build and repair costs.

Energy weapons
Energy damage did not benefit from anti-armor effects or armor reduction perks in the past. And it was considered as a bug which has been fixed in patch 13. So Energy damage can now benefit from anti-armor effects and armor reduction perks as well as ballistic weapon damage.

Radiation weapons
All melee and unarmed weapons can become radiation weapons via the perk Overly Generous.

Unarmed
Unarmed weapons will benefit from most melee perks such as Martial Artist, Incisor, Ninja, etc. However, damage perks are restricted to the Iron Fist perk instead of the melee perks.

Other Melee
