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.

Bladed
Bladed Weapons can dismember limbs of humanoid opponents, permanently damaging the limb and disarming the target. Like all melee weapons, Bladed Weapons benefit from Big Leagues and Strength.

Blunt
Blunt Weapons tend to stagger opponents more frequently than Bladed Weapons. Like all melee weapons, Blunt Weapons benefit from Big Leagues and Strength.

Fist Weapons
Fist Weapons benefit from the Iron Fist Perk as well as from Strength.

Renaming Weapons
In Fallout 4, the player character is able to rename any weapon, including unique weapons, at any weapons workbench. Renaming weapons does not affect any weapon stats. Currently there exists the feature of using HTML element tags in weapon renaming for added customization. Some HTML tags that can be used are listed:
 *  italics
 * underline
 *  list (bullet-point)
