The Radium rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background

This ancient combat rifle has been converted by post-war scavengers to create a hybrid radiation and conventional weapon. Each .45 caliber round that leaves the barrel is combined with gamma radiation from the emitter mounted around it, making for a deadly weapon against human targets.

Characteristics

Best suited for PVP combat, due to the lack of innate radiation resistance among other players, the radium rifle is a decent weapon comparable to the combat rifle in versatility, were it not for the radiation damage, which will actually heal targets immune to radiation damage.

Modifications

The Radium rifle can be easily modified into a variety of weapons, like many other rifle-class weapons.

Behind the scenes

• The weapon is visually based on the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr (People's Storm Rifle; not an assault rifle, but simply rifle of the organization) model 1-5, designed to be a cheap, mass-produced semi-automatic rifle for use by the Deutsches Volkssturm. It was a semi-automatic rifle using the 7.92×33mm Kurz round designed for Sturmgewehr 44 and that rifle's magazines. It had an effective range of 300 meters and was rather inaccurate
