Exotic Weapons are just one of the ways that Bethesda has spiced up Fallout 76. These weapons are known for how it is almost impossible for them to fit into any other category, hence they must be exotic. Our Fallout 76 Exotic Weapons Guide will give you all the information you need when it comes to Exotic Weapons.
Fallout 76 Exotic Weapons
These weapons are quite strange and vary quite a bit from one another. Some of these weapons have great damage while others stand out from amongst the crowd in other ways.
All in all, using these weapons will be a treat that you should definitely enjoy while playing through the game.
Let’s go ahead and take a look at how each weapon works one by one. We will be mentioning what the weapon is useful for along with the stats of the weapon.
