YCS/186
CND: 100
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
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

Ratslayer
CND: 200
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
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

CZ57 Avenger
CND: 700
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
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!

Oh, Baby!
CND: 100
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
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.
