Broadsider (Fallout 4)

The Broadsider is a unique weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
An unusual heavy weapon mixing 18th-century ordnance with 23rd-century technology. The main body consists of a small old-fashioned naval cannon (possibly a muzzle-loading swivel gun) strapped to a makeshift rig with metal rivets and thick ropes. This rig allows it to be carried around with both hands easily, and includes a hinge allowing the cannon to be angled vertically for easy reloading. It fires cannonballs via an electronic trigger taped to the back handle.

The Broadsider's base damage is affected by the Heavy Gunner perk.

Locations
Rewarded by Captain Ironsides during the quest Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution. Siding with the scavengers instead makes this weapon unobtainable.

Behind the scenes
The term "broadsiding", or "firing broadside", is a naval term, referring to firing all the cannons on either side of a battleship at once.
