The Tinker Tom Special is a unique weapon that can be found and obtained within the Commonwealth, in Fallout 4.

Characteristics

While not sporting a vastly different amount of stats compared to the standard hunting rifle, the Tinker Tom Special comes with the added benefit of increasing V.A.T.S. accuracy, at the cost of using more AP, so long as the Sole Survivor is currently not in active combat. It also comes with a long range scope, long barrel, a powerful calibrated receiver, and suppressor by default.

Variants

• Hunting rifle - standard variant
• Reba
• Reba II
