The first region you crash-land on in The Outer Worlds is the struggling Emerald Vale — an area plagued by aliens and an army of marauders. This is where you’ll learn how to play, and get your very first tools of destruction. If you’re looking for the absolute best guns to grab early, there are some awesome choices here.
This is where to find Unique Guns — guns with special names that are multitudes more powerful than standard versions. My personal favorite is a gun you can grab right at the start of the game! Ol’ Reliable is a LMG that eats through ammo but shreds enemies. Find it in the monster nest northeast of Edgewater. If you’re sneaky, you won’t even have to encounter monsters.
