Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.

Best Unique Weapons

YCS/186

	Damage	Ammo	Fire Rate
YCS/186 CND: 100
	140	MF Cell	1
	STR Req.	Skill Req.	AP
	3-5	75	40

The YCS/186 is the best unique weapon in Fallout New Vegas. It can kill a Deathclaw in one-shot from afar when aiming at its head while crouched, for the added sneak attack damage bonus.

Keep in mind that it uses 4 ammo in one shot, which makes it a good idea to use it on tougher enemies instead of the weaker ones.

YCS/186 Location, Ammo, and ID

Ratslayer

	Damage	Ammo	Fire Rate
Ratslayer CND: 200
	23	5.56mm	1
	STR Req.	Skill Req.	AP
	1-3	0	45

The Ratslayer is an amazing sniper rifle that can one-shot most enemies via headshots. The scope automatically toggles on its night vision at night, and the weapon sway while scoped is barely noticeable.

Ratslayer Location, Ammo, and ID

CZ57 Avenger

	Damage	Ammo	Fire Rate
CZ57 Avenger CND: 700
	14	5mm	30
	STR Req.	Skill Req.	AP
	8-10	100	30

The CZ57 Avenger is a stronger variant of the Minigun and can kill a Deathclaw in less than 5 seconds using the standard 5mm rounds. It's best used on groups of enemies, as it can quickly kill them due to its fast fire rate.

CZ57 Avenger Location, Ammo, and ID

Oh, Baby!

	Damage	Ammo	Fire Rate
Oh, Baby! CND: 100
	80	-	0
	STR Req.	Skill Req.	AP
	6-8	100	35

Oh, Baby! is a unique melee weapon that boasts high damage, but is slow when executing attacks. It's useful for when you've run out of ammo!

It can kill a Deathclaw in 3 charged attacks and 1 normal attack. Just time your attacks right to avoid missing your hits.

Can Unique Weapons Have Mods?

Unique Weapons Cannot Have Mods

Weapon Mods cannot be added to unique weapons, at least in the base game. Unique weapons already have higher stats than their original counterparts.
