Big Boy

The Big Boy is a unique weapon $$

Gameplay
The Big Boy is a Legendary Fat Man with the Two-Shot effect, allowing it to shoot two Mini Nukes at once for the cost of only one, giving it the most damage potential from a single shot in the entire game, with the sole exception of the nuke, which is obtainable only through console commands.

The Big Boy is compatible with the MIRV Launcher mod. The Big Boy will shoot twelve mini nukes, while only consuming one. The blast radius of this weapon's mini nukes is substantially larger than normal and that the nukes lose their momentum and fall to the ground after splitting. In addition, the cost of this weapon is high, at around 14,000+ caps with no Charisma and related perks or effects, making it one of the most expensive weapons in the base game.

It is also compatible with the unique Nuka-Nuke Launcher's unique modification, meaning that one can effectively do double the damage of a regular Fat Man, and 50% more than the regular Big Boy, the only downside is having to actually craft the Nuka-Nuke ammo for it.

Variants

 * Fat Man
 * The Striker, a unique version that fires modified bowling balls instead of mini nukes.
 * Nuka-Nuke Launcher, a unique version that deals 50% more damage than the standard model by firing quantum-enhanced Nuka-Nukes.

Location
The Big Boy can be bought from Arturo Rodriguez in the Diamond City market.

Behind the scenes
Its name is in reference to "Little Boy," the atomic bomb that was released above Hiroshima, with its counterpart "Fat Man" (the name of the weapon type) being released on Nagasaki three days later; actions that, in the Fallout universe, ultimately foreshadowed the end of civilization.
