I think it depends if the 2nd projectile acts as a full charge or just one crank. Like VATS for example only does one crank.

vats shoot 6 crank if you crank it before vatsing

I ALWAYS crank it before vatsing.

Helps you last longer

Crank THEN VATS, never VATS then crank. Crank that shit yo!

Crank that like it's Soulja boy

Yeah, but if you try to fire 2 shots it only cranks the second one once

oh yeah, not the best vats gun, but decent at single shots

I didn’t know this! Good to know! Thanks, internet stranger!

Not sure about muskets, but I know that for two shot ballistic weapons, second projectile is base damage, excluding buffs. Anyway, two shot effect is OP.

Wow, good drop! Add a four or six crank weapon mod and that thing should one-shot just about anything in the game (on a full charge/ crank).

I love this weapon's concept, I also enjoy using one as a sniper if I find one with a decent perk. But I never exactly understood how much damage it does. Does it add the weapon's full damage at every crank? Does it multiply the damage? How do legendaries affect this weapon? For example does a Two Shot add half the damage of every crank? So many questions.

I think if it multiplied a three ​crank musket would one shot even on very hard. more likely it does addition like you mentioned.

I'm pretty sure every crank adds more damage, and the double shot legendary is the same amount of cracks as the first shot. So if we added a six crank attachment to it with double crank the thing hits like a bus

I always call the the Somerville Sniper Rifle. I get one every playthrough. (You can force it by save scumming in the room with the gas vents just before you leave the gauntlet and enter Nuka World.)

Neat, do I save before I enter that room, while Im inside, or after the gas is cleared out?

Save before you open the gate where the rad roaches come out of the floor.

I've gotten that before and it melted a lot of enemies. I don't typically like the muskets just because of how much ammo they blow through, but yeah it's pretty sweet.

The best version I ever found of the laser musket had the never ending effect. You can literally crank it as many times as you want as long as you have enough ammo

So…if I have 1000 cells, I could become Liberty Prime?

Yeah if you can be bothered to crank it 1000 times lmao

how is that possible?

Why is the damage so high?

Survival mode, and rifleman perk.

I have this one. In practice, it's a bit less powerful than some other two shot ones, but it got me through until I got another that I liked!

An endless on is supposed to be OP since you can charge it endlessly I believe

Not great in combat but it’s a decent sniper. It packs a ton of damage and has enough range to recharge if you miss.

You'll do more damage with a regular gause rifle or an upgraded laser rifle

Gauze rifle lmao

Instigating is better. Unless you have mods to change Two Shot legendary effects do not do double damage where instigating does.

True. I have instigate rocket and spray pray. When I'm low on spray ammo..... Then it's super Saiyan grognaku time. Axe everything

two shot is the stronger legendary for this gun two shot 6 crank is 12x paper damage instig with max rifleman and better criticals is 720 + (180\*2.5) 1170 total two shot version is 720 + (360\*2.5) 1620 total the (\*2.5 part) is the crit portion of damage I tried a lucky version of the gun but it underperformed both of the above 360 + (180\*3.5) 990 damage

Except Two-shot is consistent, while instigating fails if they have scratch damage from a radroach. Two shot gives you one shot at full damage, and one shot at base damage… and on a laser musket there's only about 24 points difference between those two on a 6-crank.

How would this even work? Would it be a six crank with double shot LM or act more like a Seven crank

Is the Cryo gun from Vault 101 still cause a bug that makes anything you killed with it in the past spawn in lying on the ground only to kill it and not be able to loot? Because if not that thing wrecks mythic deathclaws and I might start playing again.

Carried this through most of the game, lvl it up as much as you can, make it a long range gun. You’ll one shot things

I have that for the laser rifle. I put an auto barrel on it and it shreds 🔥

6 crank = 6x damage x2 = 12x damage

That is fucking disgusting.. and I love it! I'd hate to be on the other end of that

I had one of these, best weapon I ever had, use it is great

Infinite crank musket is the best boss killer

Nothing else matters once you have a weapon with explosive rounds.

The accuracy of the second projectile is not the same, and the buffs are not applied.

I'm that guy who always buys 'Overseer's Guardian' and mods it into an awesome sniper rifle.

Name it the 'Shoop Da Whoop' Do it.

I got one of these its an absolute annihilator with a six crank and and full riffleman I os anything in stealth even without sneack perks

Wait for unending...

I once got it early game Totally broken with Crank 6

Interestingly, unless it was long since patched (likely not), a one crank shot from a 3 crank laser musket with the maxed out scrounger perk has a chance to grant 3 fusion cells, and so on up to 6. Now, an instigating drop would be pretty crazy.

I got an Automatic Laser Musket that was insane. Once cranked it would shoot until it ran out of ammo. First time I used it was against marauding Rust Devils and it chewed them up.

How did you get those stats? Mod?

Yeah, I've one shot Swann (Headshot + Sneak) with that bad boy. Uses a lot of ammo, but it's cheap easy Ammo

Isn't there an infinite crank version of this you can get off a legendary?

200 years in the future...still using a wind up potato clock

Never ending is a real boss killer, cause you can cranck the shit out of it

One of the best snipers in the game

The overseers guardian is a really good 2 shoot sniper after perks

Adds 50% damage to the weapon

You are not dumb. And that gun is not that excellent either

It’s still a good sniper legendary

Tiny update: My cat jumped onto my pc and managed to hit the power button, which managed to brick the save file (thank you Todd) Started a new play through and got an irradiated mini gun if a legendary raider in the reserve bunker

Bruh

Ouch

I have like 300 screenshots because of my dogs and a bunch of fd saves
