Forum:Questions regarding unique weapons

okay so i was wondering if you could attach mods to unique weapons and if not wheter the dinner bell shotgun is better than a fully upgraded regular hunting shot gun.

You cannot put mods on unique weapons, unique weapons come with some mods on them already (except for scopes) Example: the special rocket launcher comes with a lesser weight than a normal rocket laucher as if it already has the frame mod, but the special lazer rifle doesnt come with the scope, so its up to you to decide what you like better. specials always do more damage than a normal weapon that has all mods. -CloudsJudgment

i just made a new char and managed to get a silencer for the varmint rifle, and after nearly dying 4 times trying to get past the blind deathclaw in primm pass i got the ratslayer, i like both because ratslayer takes a shitload of vats points while i can use the varmint rifle to take things out silently and have 3 vats shots in an emergency, and the no scope is nice 2, i haven't found a scope for it yet, did this at lvl 8..don't suggest anyone try it..lol i only beat him because he got stuck behind a rock and i used 30 5.56 anti armor rounds.

I know you can get the scope for the varmit rifle at the general store trader in uhhh the first town your character starts it, GoodSprings thats it.

So go to the general store, hopefully that helps.

eh i didn't buy any i saw, i had ratslayer for sniping and felt it was nice to have a non scoped weapon that was still silenced, by now i dont use the old varmint rifle i had though, prefer lucky or vance's 9mm machine gun thing, either way ratslayer is pretty epic if you get it really early on, provided you can make it past deathclaw's....if you take the direct route that is, all in all the game has a multitude of options, a varmint rifle with only silencer did help me take down bison motel with minimal confrontation, while at the same time ratslayer helped me pick off every caeser's legion douche in nipton without even going red or in combat with them, granted just use what fits the situation, usually i have like 100 pounds in weapons on me because i have lucky, la longue carabine, ratslayer, items to repair with, that gun, blah blah blah...a wide array of options in this game, im thinking my next char will be an energy weapons user but its so much more expensive and hard to find good energy weapons, especially early on.
