Normal and legendary weapons will change their name when mods are applied, unique weapons will not.Īll stats are given with standard weapon modifications. Uniques are typically either bought from merchants or are quest rewards. Unique weapons are weapons that are already named and will always retain the same special bonuses. Legendary weapons come with random bonuses applied to them and are only dropped by legendary enemies. Normal weapons have no special bonuses on them whatsoever.
Unlike previous installments, weapons in Fallout 4 fall under three classifications, including normal, legendary, and unique.
