With each level passed, you become stronger Fallout 76, you will find that you need more weapons than usual. You’ll want more. You’ll need more powerful shotguns and rifles capable of delivering one-shot killing shots to take down the most powerful enemies in the game. Well, there are few guns in the game that can compare to Gauss Weapons.
The Gauss Shotgun’s close range stopping ability makes it one of the most valuable weapons Fallout 76. Its bullets explode with each shot, causing additional area-of-effect blast damage, making you an endless death machine as long as you can keep buying ammo.
Here’s how to get and craft a Gaussian Shotgun Fallout 76!
Where to get gauss shotgun plans
Currently, there are only two places to buy Gauss shotgun programs: Minerva and Samuel.
You can find Samuel near the elevator in the middle of the foundation. He was chilling next to a statue on the stairs past the robot vendors.
Minerva, on the other hand, only appears in Appalachia at odd times throughout the month. You can find her several days, three out of four weeks per month. Additionally, her stock will rotate. She might be selling Gauss shotgun plans one week, but not the next. But she might be worth the wait as her Gauss shotgun plans are cheaper!
How to Make a Gaussian Shotgun
Once you have purchased and learned about the Gauss Shotgun’s design, return to camp where you will need to prepare the Weapon Workbench and select Science 1 as the Perk card, as it allows you to craft energy weapons.
Go to the weapon workbench and select “Craft”. Then, navigate down in the list to “Energy Gun.” After learning the plan, the Gaussian Shotgun will appear here. You will need the following materials:
- x14 aluminum
- x6 circuit
- x2 Legendary Mod
- x15 screw
- x4 silver
- x4 spring
- x7 steel
- x8 wood
Yes, it’s an expensive space-age weapon, but it’s worth it. It is one of the most powerful CQB weapons Fallout 76!
