Handmade rifle (Nuka-World)

The handmade rifle is a weapon that is featured in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Characteristics
A well-designed, left-handed, handmade rifle chambered for the 7.62 round that is abundant among the Nuka-World raider groups. The Disciples use a blackened color scheme for their rifles, the Operators have near-mint condition exemplars, and the Pack uses brightly colored paint on theirs.

The handmade rifle is a powerful weapon that fills a niche similar to the assault rifle's and comes with largely the same advantages, like very stable handling during sustained automatic fire. Unfortunately, it also shares most of its drawbacks including very high weight and hard-to-find ammunition. Especially the latter fact makes the weapon very impractical to deploy outside of Nuka-World since 7.62mm rounds cannot be found or looted anywhere in the Commonwealth nor Far Harbor, leaving vendors as the only means of supplying the gun.

Unlike all other ballistic rifles in the base game and other add-ons, which primarily use the Gun Nut and Science! perks to unlock upgrades, the handmade rifle requires investment into the Rifleman, Commando and Big Leagues perks to access its modifications. Given that at least two of the latter are necessary to utilize the weapon to its full potental anyway, this can be considered one of the handmade rifle's biggest advantages over other guns of its class, as it potentially allows players to allocate a lot of perk points elsewhere.

The handmade rifle allows for scopes and night vision scopes to be mounted, but recon scopes are not available.
