Fallout 4: Unique Weapon and Armor - Location and Guide

This guide will aim to cover where to find and how to obtain Unique Weapons and Armor within Fallout 4.

Introduction

After making a Power Armor location guide, I’ve decided to make a Unique Weapon and Armor location Guide. This will cover all uniques either found in the world, sold by NPCs or obtained through quest. Uniques dropped by legendary characters don’t count into this as they are completely random upon being dropped.

Note: It will be almost impossible to find all Uniques within the game in one playthrough (without spawning them in via console) as some of them are obtained through faction quest.

Note 2: I’ve begin to notice that some of the Uniques listed here are either not in the game, or obtained elsewhere (I got a lot of them from the official strategy guide) so some of them maybe incorrect.
