Flare gun (Fallout 4)

The flare gun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The flare gun is a break-action single-shot weapon but isn't designed to deal direct damage. Instead, it summons nearby Commonwealth Minutemen for assistance. Firing a flare directly at an enemy will cause a small amount of damage, but virtually every other weapon will yield better results in the heat of battle.

Weapon modifications
Currently the Flare Gun is unfortunately un-modifiable and cannot be fitted with any mods, as it is likely not intended as a combat weapon, and is intended to be virtually exclusively used to signal the Minutemen for assistance, or occasionally for actually providing light in dark areas, a task which the pip-boy light or similar are usually used for instead.

Variants
There are currently no known variants of this weapon.

Locations

 * The Sole Survivor is given a flare gun by Preston Garvey if they join the Commonwealth Minutemen.
