Check out a complete list of every unique gun and science weapon.
The Outer Worlds is rife with wacky weapons that have some sort of gimmick to them, whether it be a Shrink Ray that quite literally shrinks your enemy or melee weapon that rearranges their face. Obsidian calls these Science weapons, and they're easily some of the coolest — and rarest — in the game. We've compiled every unique gun and science weapon you can find in The Outer Worlds along with their locations so you know exactly where to look. All science weapons can be obtained naturally through the quest "Weapons From The Void," and vendors can sell unique items from time to time.
Note: Because The Outer Worlds just launched, this list is a work-in-progress as more players discover new weapons and where they are found in the game. We'll continually add to it and ensure that it is up to date.
