The Final Word is a ranged, legendary, unique 50 Cal weapon in Fallout 76 Wastlanders. So far, this is the best heavy gun in the game with three legendary effects equipped with it.
Have a magazine size of 250 that gives high base damage, a faster fire rate, and a reduced effect of enemy armor by half. Getting this weapon is no easy trick, but we’ll walk you through acquiring this machine gun in Fallout 76 Wastelanders.
Quest Location
To get this questline, you must be at level 20. Once you have cleared the level requirement, head to the Ash Heap region at the marked location below.
You can get a quest called ‘Ally Narrow Escape’ from there. This quest requires you to find and save Beckett, who is locked in a prison at the Rollins Labor Camp.
Complete the Ally Quest
To get the Final Word, you must complete an ally quest called “An Eagle Flies Free.” This quest will pop up in your side quests, and it’s a relatively quick mission that shouldn’t take you more than an hour to complete. You’ll need to rescue Beckett, a character who will become an ally and provide you with missions.
Build Beckett’s Booze Hut
Once you’ve rescued Beckett, you must build his booze hut in your settlement. This will allow him to give you missions and increase your reputation. You’ll see a progress bar that shows how far you’ve come, and once it’s full, you’ll get a final mission from Beckett.
Complete Beckett’s Missions
Beckett will give you a series of missions you’ll need to complete to increase your reputation with him. These missions are relatively straightforward, but the final mission, “Thicker Than Water,” can be challenging. We’ll provide some tips below to help you through this mission.
- This mission is basically like a maze, so you need to visit the unexplored areas and look for a computer that will give you access to the garage door.
- When you see new enemies popping up, you’re going in the right direction.
Near the end of the mission, you will find The Claw. There will be a dialogue between Beckett and The Claw there. You should try convincing Beckett not to kill Claw – his brother.
Getting Final Word In Fallout 76
Once you’ve completed the final mission, you’ll need to talk to Beckett again, and he’ll award you the Final Word machine gun. You’ll also get a three-star legendary piece of armor, which can be a nice bonus.
