I’m a big fan of the various heavy weapons in Fallout 76. In other Fallout titles, I rarely touch them, but something about Appalachia brings out my inner tank. If you want to follow suit with a Power Armor and heavy weapon build, then here is where to get a Gatling Laser in Fallout 76.
How to Get a Gatling Laser in Fallout 76
To get a Gatling Laser in Fallout 76, tackle Public Events, unlock U.S. Government Supply Crates, or purchase the plans from MODUS in The Whitespring Bunker. I first acquired a Gatling Laser by completing Radiation Rumble and then a second one from Spin the Wheel. You can tackle any Public Events in the game; however, as rewards will typically be randomized, you may as well have fun while grinding for a heavy weapon.
How to Craft a Gatling Laser in Fallout 76
You can craft the Gatling Laser in Fallout 76 by visiting a Weapons Workbench, though you must have the Gatling Laser Plan, which you can acquire from Containers in The Savage Divide, Treasure Maps, and Daily Ops, along with the Science Master I Perk. With those prerequisites, bring together the following resources:
- 15x Aluminum
- 12x Circuitry
- 9x Crystal
- 12x Fiber Optics
- 12x Gears
- 21x Plastic
- 32x Steel
It’s quite a costly heavy weapon. But if you can pull together enough Fusion Cores to keep up the fire, it’s a viable build for end-game events.
