Unique charge rifle

For the regular variant of this weapon, see Charge rifle.

The unique charge rifle is the unique weapon variant of the charge rifle, a spacer-tech weapon that fires 3-round burst with good armor penetration, moderate range, and slightly below-average accuracy.

Each unique charge rifle comes with a combination of traits that make it different from other charge rifles.

Acquisition[edit]

Unique weapons can be obtained through quests, found in loot boxes like sealed crates, sealed containers, or ancient safes, found while fishing, or gifted by visitors. Unique weapons can also rarely be dropped by raiders. Ancient Mercenary and Orbital Item Stash quests will always contain at least one unique weapon, typically masterwork or legendary quality.

Weapons depot and ancient garrison map features do NOT contain unique weapons, nor do ancient dangers.

Summary[edit]
