“Pipe weapons are crude, low-tech, widely available... and highly modifiable. They are favored by the Commonwealth's Raider groups.”— Fallout 4 loading screens

The Pipe Gun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Gameplay

A crude, homemade weapon, the pipe gun models were common in pre-war Detroit street gangs. Two centuries later, it is used by settlers, raiders and super mutants all over the Commonwealth. Pipe guns are also modifiable, capable of turning a standard pipe pistol into a pipe .45 caliber sniper rifle.

Out of all the parts that can be seen, upon scrapping, the player character cannot salvage most if not any of the aforementioned components. With Rank 1 of the Scrapper perk, a basic pipe pistol can be scrapped for 4 pieces of steel, while a basic pipe rifle yields 3 pieces of steel. Rank 2 of the perk adds one screw and one piece of copper to the salvage. Rank 3 changes this, sometimes getting gears, springs and even items like Nuclear Material for guns that have advanced mods like the recon sights.

Locations

• Arturo Rodriguez in Diamond City sells a suppressed pipe weapon. Other mods are random on the suppressed pipe gun, but Arturo will always start the game with at least one silenced pipe gun making it advantageous for stealth players.
• Common weapon for ranged raiders.
• Default weapon for settlers and scavengers.
• Can be found on ranged super mutants.
• A standard version can be found on the floor in front of a terminal located at Bedford Station.

Bugs

Playstation 4 While in a rifle variant, firing and then swimming will cause the weapon to be held like a bat and prevent the firing of the weapon.

• To fix it, just unequip and re-equip the rifle.
• This can also happen while using unique or legendary variants of the rifle.
