Through the next twenty five entries, we will shine a spotlight on the rare weapons that are worth the time investment. Finding every unique tool of destruction is nearly impossible, but the large amount of them ensures that every player's experience is special. Given the sheer breadth of each game's setting, it will come as no surprise that every map is chock full of secret weapons waiting to be uncovered by the first adventurer who comes across them.
Let it not be forgotten that Interplay's titles, which preceded Fallout 3, also offered a similar level of freedom. One can wander the wasteland with guns, explosives, melee weapons, or a well balanced mixture of the three. What would a Fallout game be without a sizable arsenal? The sheer amount of weapon variety stays true to Bethesda's philosophy of giving nearly unlimited choices to the player.
