Good weapons are hard to come by in the desiccated wastelands of West Virginia, the new post-apocalyptic location of Fallout 76. Dropping the heavy storylines and focusing on always-online exploration, you and a team of former Vault Dwellers can pick through the ruins of civilization, and the first thing you’re going to need is a good gun.
Unique Guns are special variants with Legendary Buffs — they’re always available to find, always drop in the same location, and don’t have randomized bonuses. One of these Unique Weapons is the ‘Perfect Storm’, a flame-infused 10mm SMG you can grab when you’re just Level 10 or so. If you’re looking to add extra punch to your ranged combat, this is a pretty good place to start. Learn how to start the ‘Perfect Storm’ quest and how to complete it below.
