Unique hellcat rifle

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

The unique hellcat rifle is the unique weapon variant of the hellcat rifle, a moderately heavy, automatic ranged weapon with an integrated two-shot flamethrower. Each unique hellcat rifle comes with a combination of traits that make it different from other hellcat 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.
