My fascination with these cool weapons started when I first played New Vegas (around 2012). A friend mentioned to me that a few weapons had unique variants and I was quite intrigued. I ended up going on Youtube to watch tutorials on how to find these guns and... well I sort of developed an unhealthy obsession which required me to search the ends of the Earth( or game) to collect the guns. Those were dark day lol. Now comes the part where I ask the community on how they feel about unique weapons. Do you like finding all the weapons for your own personal collection? Maybe only the ones that are more powerful than the base game variant? Perhaps some of you just could care less? What is your favorite gun? Your least favorite? I want to see how you feel about the little beauties

i love unique weapons they trigger my hoarder instinct, Pew Pew is an example, i tracked down every single damn sunset star cap i needed for that laser pistol, The one Unique i don't actually like is the unique .45 auto pistol, it's been shortened and i don't like that, snub noses are stupid in my opinion

@Kaiser Atlas Hmm, you don't like 'A Light Shining in the Darkness'? Interesting, but understandable. Guns like the Survivalist's Rifle, Dinner Bell, and the YCS 186 are my go to weapons since the pack such a punch

'Li'l Devil' is my fav unique sidearm, This Machine for primary and finally Thump-Thump for when things get crowdy. And finally the Bozar just because of its class.

I didn't like the unique Varmint Rifle very much out of all of them, of all the weapons to get a unique variant its one for the crappy starter rifle you get in Goodsprings rofl.

For as many uniques as there in the game, I never used any of them. I never even found This Machine. That one I think I would have used though if I came across it. I always adsded in custom mesh and stuff so I mainly stuck to using those. Some of the uniques I changed to custom meshes to try and make them more unique. In the end though, I`m running around humping like 40 guns and switching between them all every 5 minutes haha.

I'll hoard uniques no matter the game. If it is marked unique I will keep it, no matter if it is good or bad. Usually don't use them though unless their perks/bonus is really beneficial.

Fallout uniques were always fun to just store and see them all in one container or on display. Armors that are also either unique or rare are also fun to collect. I can say the same thing about Elder Scrolls, fun to get them and throw them onto mannequins or plaques and just display (container works too).

Collecting for me also extends out of Fallout and ES, various MMOs and looter-shooters I tend to hoard unique/named items and gear that you only ever get once. Point in case Destiny, I held onto that white AR you get at the start of the game since the very start, and the first armor set you're given - still have them all too. Then there is ESO where my objective currently is to get the three unique weapons (unique names and models) for beating the main quest.

I collect unique's, even if they suck. I never sell them just because of the rarity factor. Weapons and armor alike. Can never get rid of them and never want to.
