Fallout 76 is a 2018 role playing game and the 9th overall title in the Fallout game series, developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Fallout 76 is the first online Fallout title along with serving as Bethesda's first multiplayer game. It is a prequel to all previous games in the series and can be played in a first or third person perspective.
Just like in previous titles, the plot centers on the player controller character leaving one of many fallout shelters built by Vault-Tec 25 years after a nuclear apocalypse as a result of conflicts between the United States and China.
Overview
A majority of Fallout 4's weapons and mechanics were reused for Fallout 76 such as the ability to build weapons and add various modifications to firearms such as receivers, barrels, grips/stocks, sights and magazines by using various junk in the wasteland containing materials to craft the modifications. Aside from requiring perks to craft modifications as was the case in Fallout 4, they can only be unlocked by the player after breaking down a copy of a firearm or by obtaining a redeemable modification. Certain unique variants of weapons may be found in the game that possess a "Legendary" effect which is a special perk that modifies the statistics of the weapon and are graded from 1 to 3 stars, with 3 stars containing a more and better legendary stat but being less common to find. Like in previous games (excluding Fallout 4), the item condition system was brought back in which players have to regularly maintain their weapons and armor so that it doesn't break. However, a weapon's performance remains the same regardless of its condition.
Handguns
"10mm Pistol"
The "10mm Pistol" from Fallout 4 returns and as its name suggests, chambers 10mm auto ammunition and starts out as a semi automatic, single action firearm. The pistol strongly resembles a German Volkspistole with some differences such as an angled grip and sloping forend. The 10mm pistol can modified with extended magazines (that increase its capacity from 12 rounds onwards), certain receivers that can increase damage or add a full auto conversion. It becomes abundant at lower levels with random modifications applied and deals decent damage per shot.
"Black Powder Pistol"
An M1942 Aston percussion pistol appears as the "Black Powder Pistol". Hence its name, the pistol feeds and fires the powerful .50 caliber ball, though firing or loading it will not deplete gunpowder from the player's inventory nor do they replace the percussion cap in the reload animation. A variant of this weapon called the "Black Powder Blunderbuss" can be obtained but does not act as a blunderbuss, as it fires only one projectile. The percussion cap appears to be missing on the "Blunderbuss'" model and its only visual difference is its lighter colored wood and a Blunderbuss style barrel.
