Ripe you a new one, one of the best weapons I ever saved upo all those cogs for. It was one of the best weapons and the moment I got it I felt it was one of the best decisions ever. Yeah, it's crazy how you can recreate some other worldly weapons in FO4.
How did you use the lock on missile attachment to the minigun if this exploit only lets you add the first mod slot of the scrapped weapon? The first mod slot of the missile launcher is a barrel slot, not a sight slot (targeting computer is a sight)
Put a submachine gun receiver and missile computer system on a combat shotgun. It's just as crazy, actually looks like a legitimate gun, and won't kill you as often
@@raincloud1313 Survival mode this will one-shot you guaranteed. Self-damage due to explosions is freakin insane. It's for this reason I carry two 10mm pistols, one modded to fire homing rockets like you said, the other that's just a conventional two-shot. Shares the same ammo, lightweight, covers me for long-distance and up-close.
Loved fallout games in general where you were able to customise your own weapons and with the pipe weapons being universal and turning them into a rifle, or a sniper, even into a pistol was awesome, giving a small pistol a scope was quite fun for me, just knowing you can actually do that
It's an absolute solid exploit and when done right it can be very powerful. You can create your own weapon to. Sometimes they may not do increased damage etc but they can look the part to fit your own playstyle or build.
Ha ha you have yo be careful when indoors when using anybody explosive weapons in general really. I have lost so many times, usually due to my own actions.
Yeah that sounds about right. This is one of the few glitches that literally allows you to create your own weapons. Imagine combining things like Minigins and pistols or laser weapons with machine guns lol.
@@TrappedInFallout holy crap, what happens if you add this to a shotgun that has double projectiles? Would every shotgun buckshot pellet projectile each be a bunch of nukes? So every shotgun shell would be like... 8 pellets, with MIRV for each, AND double shot? Holy crap
@@JB-xl2jc There really is no way to know until you actually try it out. I am currently applying sledgehammers modification to a combat knife. Combine that with VATs, melee and Ninja perks. My goal is to one hit kill a Mirelurk Queen on survival mode. It's fun trying things out lol.
I have an early update for everyone. My friend axslbreaker has found another use with this glitch. He has taken the deep dish modification from the gamma gun and has managed to put it on a minigun. AND IT WORKS. What we have found is the barrel modification is what's being used in the glitch so you are able to modify the new frankengun. I caution anyone wanting to use a missile launcher or fat man as too many explosions caused our games to crash when we tested this. That being said enjoy your new combo weapons fellow vault dwellers.
And I have an update to my update. My friend and i just did another test and have found this glitch works with melee weapons. We have successfully managed to put a super sledge into a ripper. What we have found is the melee weapon you want to fuse HAS to have 2 damage types to apply any change to the new weapon so if the weapon has slash and electric damage then electric damage will be transferred. If the weapons ONLY HAVE ONE DAMAGE TYPE than nothing will change aside from the weapons look.
That sounds like an excellent combination. So as long as the damage type of different between the weapons then its works. Cool, I will try it out. I did at one point merge a sledge hammet with a combat knife and it looked like thors hammer.
Now this makes me want to go and see if I can get Aeternus with either plasma or nuka-quantum rounds, thanks for bringing this glitch to our attention. 😊
No problem at all Elian. That's sort of the beauty of this glitch, you can go and experiment and see what happens. At times you may not be happy with the results and at other times they may just surprise you. This has the potential to be super OP, literally For tier weapons. Now imagine taking this and using effects like Explosive on weapons.
@@thehunter5607 Nope, that's the other benefit of using this glitch. The base weapons ammo type is used and the commonwealth is bombarded with 10mm ammo, no pun intended 😄👍
It just works lol. Yeah, and better it you can create not just any weapon but some OO ones too. Bring in the hordes of Deathclaws, it's nothing but a hot knife on butter.
Aside from combining the nuke to a minigun as others have mentioned. Would be interesting to merge the harpoon gun or bowling ball launcher to a minigun.
Yes, itost certainly will be. I am also looking into seeing if it's possible to take something like Ballistic Weave from normal clothing and seeing if I can apply it to something like Leather Armor. And then seeing if it possible to apply to hands, legs etc effectively having it applied more than twice.
@@TrappedInFallout I would love to know what your results are with this I'd love to stick Ballistic Weave onto my Vault Suit for the bonus rad resistance
@@rydergolde3169 It's a great question. It's not something I have had a lot of success with but I did manage it. I have not tried too much playing around with my Vault suit but have done it on other clothing items and in the end did at points manage to have clothing armor that out classed power Armor defense. It can get really crazy and OP.
my favorite combo that ive done so far is a knife with the armor piercing mod for the power fist it makes it look like you’re holding a weaponized cinder block so i can go up to my enemies and shout “Hey Wattson! Cinder block!” 😂
That's a very interesting combo. For melee weapons, I like to go with Sledge hammer modifications on small melee weapons such as Combat knifes. Small, compact and very high damage. Imagine combining this with Ninja, VATS etc. Melee would be totally broken.
Be VERY careful with this combo. Fatman launchers are built to fire at an arc whereas most other weapons are meant to be fired line of sight. You can accidentally nuke yourself. Fire up at a slight angle. Try not to use VATS either, because the same logic applies. The game will shoot the projectile straight instead of at an arc and you can accidentally nuke yourself. Finally, do NOT spam shoot this, ESPECIALLY with a two-shot variant, you can lag the game badly or crash it entirely. I know, I made that mistake myself.
I have done this to myself many many times and yet I don't seemed to have learnt my lesson. I tend to use this combo of weapons mainly when I am outside but I also tend to take a little bit of a risk when indoors also. Mostly to my own demise. Good point, thanks for sharing Craxin.
I once did this after modifying a pipe pistol with an automatic receiver and the best possible magazine it could have. I called it Total Atomic Annihilation, but uh, there are a couple of rules to keep in mind with this particular weapon. - Rule #1: Don't use TAA indoors. - Rule #2: Don't use TAA with V.A.T.S. since it'll aim like you're using a regular, non-nuclear pipe pistol, except you're not.
BTW this works on the VR port, but you MUST use an xbox controller. If you try to do it using the VR hand controls, for whatever reason, it does not work even if you press the correct buttons at the exact correct time. Something about the input requires a normal gamepad.
Why, after seeing this video, did I get the urge to violate the Geneva Convention by trying to add a rocket launcher modification to some minigun with the legendary infinite ammunition effect?
Not all the modes types across wvery weapon may work the way shown. It's basically a limitation of the glitch itself. You can try experimenting and see happen
Every time I've ever tried this, it usually works. But sometimes it will scrap the weapon, go to the other weapon but not have the option to put on the other weapons modifications and will be normal. It's annoying but I did make an invisible pistol so that's cool 👍
This is a tricky one to do and the button timing can be hard. But yes if you get the timing right then you can get some interesting results. It's best to save just before trying to prevent accidentally scrapping your weapons.
I'm gonna go try this out with modded weapons. See if I can get a vanilla minigun to fire 20mm vulcan rounds so I can make a portable GAU-8 Avenger, or something ridiculous like that
That sounds like a solid plan. Better yet, see if you can find a legendary Minigun. Say something that does more damage or has a infinite load clip etc. It will all stack when you take the mod off the Minigun and onto another weapon.
if i may, if it does not work - try naming the 'top' (source weapon) as a Blank Space (SPC), and name the 'bottom' (target weapon) as two Blank Spaces (SPC SPC) - this is on a Keyboard or accessing the keyboard interface on a Console gaming box; i forgot where i read this originally [sorry whomever discovered it] but this has worked for me personally, when i sometimes had trouble to combine the two weapons... great vid as always, great tip!
There is a mod called the cheat terminal portable wich basically let's you use console commands without opening the console so basically it's for console players Anyways there is an option that let's you modify a gun you are holding and you can basically put any modifications on any gun you want
It says you can’t scrap legendary weapons. How do take off big Jim effect and put on pipe rifle. As big Jim only has standard on the crafting table shows nothing else. I need help what am I missing watch many videos and still can’t figure it out at all. Lol
@thewatcher5248 Good catch, sadly this does not work on Legendary weapons. Or rather you can take a mod off a legendary weapon and put it on some other weapon. You can put mods on a legendary weapon but not take one off them because you can't scrap them.
I saw someone else glitch a merv to a mini gun. He fired it from the top of a skyscraper downtown, and the rain of fire was impressive to say the least. I think he killed everything in the commons is one volley.
@@TrappedInFallout honestly, with as many nukes as he had falling and exploding, I am shocked it didn't lock up. There had to be 100 nukes in the air at once. It's definitely a fun glitch if you can pull it off
@@JamMonsterFrfo it's not hard. Just don't add the M.I.R.V Not only it will crash your game but it will start a fire in your house. THERE WILL BE EXPLOSIONS IN REAL LIFE.
@@BradleyFenimore-t8j I have always wondered if it's possible to have a targeting system on weapons other than a missile launcher. Or better yet maybe put mods from other weapons onto a missile launcher. Missiles are heavy so I rather put the mod from a missile launcher onto something like a sniper.
On ps5 trying this and I’m following it exactly how you explained and it doesn’t work , I’m using the fat man and a 10mm pistol and it doesn’t work . Just shows the scrap of the fat man
I don't own a PS5 so I am not entirely sure. It might be a button timing thing. On PC you need to press the buttons at exactly the same time. On PS5 that might not be the case. Perhaps try pressing one button just a second before pressing the other and see if that helps.
@@TrappedInFalloutHe's right it doesn't work for the 10mm pistol I did read on the wiki that this doesn't work for all weapons which is probably why a lot others use the pipe pistol
For some reason when I press scrap button when it says standard launcher it keeps me in the menu with the standard launcher instead of taking me to the other weapon in my inventory, do you know why? I’m trying to put a fat make launcher on a mini gun btw
It might be due to the naming of the mods. The order of the names of the mods can sometimes determine if the effect works. Try using different names and see if that helps.
That sounds to me like you have multiple fatmans in your inventory. In that case the glitch will not work. If you don't know what you are doing, it's a good idea to put every item from your inventory into one container and only have the weapons that you need for this glitch in your inventory before actually performing it.
Hey Reck, I thanks so much, I really appreciate it. It's a solid glitch and can make evena level 1 vault dweller into a walking tank......provided you can get your hands on the weapons.
Mmm, if i put the piggy mod on a pistol, it fires piggys but the ammo are piggys not pistol ammo..it's kinda of expensive... or i missed something in the proces??
No I don't think you have. It's something that I have checked myself and thr Piggy Ammo seems to behave differently to the other ammo and therefore is treated differently.
I learned about this glitch months ago, but I forgot how to do the timing, so I came back. My personal favorite combo is the MIRV and the Thirst Zapper from Nuka World
Yes that's right. I do play on PC but I use an XBox controller but you are right. Best of luck with the glitch, thanks for watching and commenting Kev.
I unfortunately tried this glitch on 01-24-24 and it seems to not work Edit on 01-27-24. I got the glitch to work, the names “0” & “1” were not working but I changed the names to regular “pip pistol” & “fat boy” them back to “0” “1” then it decide to work
I'm sorry to hear that. It should be still working as confirmed by others in the comments. When you say it does not work, in what way? I can try to help if possible.
@Fitchmister224 I'm playing on PC but many folks have confirmed to be working across multiple platforms. Instead of pressing both buttons, perhaps now try sliding your finger from one button to another and holding it down.
Im exicuting the glitch part but it does not appear with a weapon with the fat man on it. But a weapon mod box instead, and when you try to attach it it crashes my game
Sadly this glitch is not as reliable as some of the others. It can work on some weapon in some combinations but may not for others. Sadly it is a trial and error process to see what works.
@@TrappedInFallout This glitch is actually quite reliable (if you know what you are doing). I'm on PC and with the help of FO4edit (used only as a library) i can figure out what every weapon and modification does. Though some trial and error is nevertheless involved because FO4edit doesn't show how the engine will behave.
@maybee5059 Thanks for sharing. What I should have said is that when using the glitch, some mods only appear to be cosmetic changes while some changes effect the weapon and how it behaves.
@@TrappedInFallout Yeah - a lot of modification are really similar - so only cosmetic changes may happen. But there are enough different modifications, that very OP combinations are possible. For example the explosive Double-Barrel Shotgun with a plasma flamer barrel and a rapid receiver (Combat Rifle) attached. Creating a gun with like 200000 ballistic damage.
@maybee5059 That's just a crazy weapon. It would not brak your framerate but break anything else that walks in your general direction. Being a shotgun it would also be a good crowd controller.
I bet they "fixed" this glitch, because i don't see the next weapon, I only see the "weapon mod box"-model. Granted, the srap-select thing works, pressing right works, but when I attach the MIRV mod, the game crashes. Maybe they change a property in a weapon class where the value of MIRV can't be stored and so crashes. I'm playing on pc, and it shouldn't differ from PS much.
I actually tried it myself and found that it was working. I did go through all the glitches myself and found most of them still ot he working. And this was after the 13th. I am working on something to help share the news a little in the background.
Sadly some mods are only for asthetic reasons and don't serve anything functional while others actually do something. The triple barrel might be just a look thing.
Me and my friend tried for a day to get this glitch to work and here's the weapons we were able to get to work. 10 mm pistol Pipe pistol plus variants Double barrel shotgun (game breaking) Combat rifle Assault rifle Minigun (game breaking) All these weapons can be used SO LONG AS ITS NOT AN AUTOMATIC. If it's an automatic weapon your game will crash. I'll be trying it out with energy weapons this weekend and I'll post an updated list. ALL THE GUNS CAN BE MODIFIED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BARREL WITH THIS GLITCH.
So far there where never a combination of weapons and mods that outright chrashed my game (That only happens when firing certain combinations - especially explosives). Barrels can definitely attached to different weapons. I would argue that this glitch works with almost every weapon, but certain combination will not be able to fire.
It shout be shooting missiles visually but it should be using the 10mm ammo instead. That's assuming you applied the same mods and used the same weapons I used in this guide. Also, not all mods works with all weapons sadly. Some even can crush the game.
I'm not entirely sure. I have tried and did manage it in a previous playthrough but that was a combination of some random weapons. Apologies but it was a while ago but I will try to figure it out.
Im confused on how this glitch works, I tried making a double barreled shoot multiple high damaging lazers by combining it with a laser musket, and when i shoot it, it does shoot multiple lazers but doesn't do very much damage, i also tried combining a pipe rifle with a and hunting rifle hoping the pipe rifle would have the damage of a hunting rifle, but still not very much damage
In this guide I essentially showed how to make a very specific weapon using the glitch but sadly it's not the same when using other mods from other weapons. Some mods from some weapons grant specific effects but not always. Some do boost damage, many don't. It's a little random so you will have to mix and match and see what you get.
Holy mother of the holy hands of Joshua Graham what is this glitch we don't have this in Fallout New Vegas. So I think Fallout New Vegas is not that overpowered with his glitch. Anyways great video👍
When you consider that you can make a weapon in FO4 that can literally fire Nukes like small BB pellets, yeah NV is not that OP. Then again, Red Glare also has its advantages. Literally plasma balls of death lol.
idk whats wrong. i know how to do it & done it already (rocket launcher + combat shotgun & mirv watergun) now i wanna try something else or even the same combos & it didnt work. the game now wants to upgrade scrap or the mod itself. Anyone know the issue?
This might be happening due to your inventory items. Try again by removing as much as your inventory as you can and also try by naming your weapons as number before attempting to do the glitch.
can someone help me i keep attaching the mod and stuff like it works...but it doesnt shoot the correct thing like it just continues to shoot the same bullets instead of the mirv
After you attach the mod, does it look like the weapon has the mod on it? Also, are you sure you attached the modification of the Fatman to your weapon?
@@TrappedInFallout i managed to figure it out. the weapon i was trying it one had a different receiver on it. when i unattached the receiver it started to work.
@@TrappedInFallout perhaps it's my fault, or maybe it's because i have minigun mod that doesn't require it to spinup... but with pipe pistol it also doesn't work it shows the 10mm ammo instead of weapon. However it works the otherway, i can attach minigun 6 barrells to a fatman or any weapon XD i'll give it a try, thanks for the update that it still works, i'll keep trying!!!
I actually saw that too, in fact in working on something right now that also has the Piggy Bank. And although I did not have any ammo I still managed to get it working 😉
@@TrappedInFallout I noticed when I tried to console command ammo for it after running the "when pigs fly" mission to find its ID code, it wouldnt work... What did you find?
It should fire normal ammo and your normal ammo should go down when using this glitch but the ammo animation should be mini nukes. As long as you have attached the MIRV launcher then that is what should happen.
You essentially have a mod available from the weapon on top and then use the steps shown to put it on a weapon below. Do note that not all weapon mods work on other weapons. Some mods end up just being an aesthetics thing.
I'm trying the same thing, use the rocket launcher's tracking Computer, the quad barrel just quadruples your mag size (That's what I have gathered from other comments, I've not tested it)
I dunno if anyone will answer this due to how old the video is, but, when doing the glitch, what weapon will it scale with? For example, will it scale with the pistol or the fatman? Neither? Both?
I can try to answer your question 😊, the power scales based on the ammo type. In this case since I use mini nukes the power comes from the nukes and not the base weapon. So if you managed to get a mod on a weapon that uses 10mm ammo but the weapon traditionally uses .45 then chances are this will reduce the power of the damage output.
@@TrappedInFallout Thank you, that's very helpful. I used the glitch to make a scatter shot missile launcher (combat shotgun x quad barrel missile launcher) it's far too broken, lmao. Have a lovely day
@@TrappedInFallout The power scales with the base damage of the weapon the modification is attached to. Only exceptions are modification that change the projectile in an explosive one. Those modifications will then add a flat amount of explosive damage to every projectile.
@maybee5059 Thanks for sharing, I'm actually trying to look into this a little further. It's probably the most OP weapon that won't crash your game at the same time.
Holy, I can just imagine the carnage now. A never ending stream of nukes. Now that's one way to soft lock your machine, but power to you - nice one. Thanks LixNix for your comment.
@@TrappedInFallout when you do that your monitor and game will go white and black for a few seconds when firing long enough because the slow and explosion animation stack and are running at the same time you have to try that
This glitch is more about transferring mods from one weapon and onto another and you may also be able to transfer the effect over also. You can also apply multiple mods from multiple weapons onto the same weapon.
@user-xx5cv3ep7d oh I have learnt that hard way, you most certainly can scrap legendary weapons. Don't try it though, it's not great if you can't reload a save file to try and recover it.
So i tried this with a minigun and a missile launcher but it still just fires 5mm instead of missiles. Are there any combos that dont work or did do something wrong?
This glitch does not always work with all weapon and the modifications also need to support it. For instance if you attach a scope or stock then that wouldodify your weapon but not switch out the ammo. It's a case of trying out things and seeing really.
@Trapped In Fallout yeah so I experimented a little more and turned that minigun into a quadrant deleter since the mirv fuses with about anything apparently.
@@Mighty_Mr_B Fair enough, I guess that can be a good thing. I personally love my Pistol FatMan. It does wonders when trying to take out many enemies at once.
That's super smart, now why did I think of that. I am actually making some weapon combos and I will most certainly try your weapon combo out. You can literally fire, collect and fire again, that's awesome.
Thanks Hunter. It's an awesome glitch and just imagine how much easier it would be to min/max character builds. The funny thing is that I have been doing this for years but apparently it's not very well known.
Does this actually work?? Is it the damage of the nukes or just the animation of the nuke with the damage of the pipe pistol? In your demonstration video in Concord, it appears the Raiders weren't really getting damaged.
It's definitely the damage of the nukes. I may have missed (as unlikely as that would sound). Try using this on a Deathclaw and you should see its action rather quickly. It really is an OP weapon.
It's totally random really. Some do look visually while others do serve somewhat functionally. Try putting the barrel of a minigun on other weapons or try putting something from a pistol on a minigun or my personal favorite to try putting a sledge hammer on a knife.
It's kinda difficult to understand what is going on in Todd's great creations, I tried putting the missile launchers quad barrel on my pipe revolver to shoot missiles, instead it quadrupled my revolvers ammo capacity
Gentlemen, I've formulated a truly powerful weapon capable of one shotting everything and doing so on unreasonably effective scales. Unfortunately: This weapon is only accessable to those who can use a computer mouse. The recipe for this weapon of mass destruction calls for: An explosive combat shotgun 45. Cal reciever mod from a pipe pistol An improved beam splitter from a plasma weapon An amplified beam splitter from a laser rifle or laser musket. You are free to add whatever extra modifications you feel will improve the weapon's performance, you're welcome
@TrappedInFallout It's supposed to deal approximately 8704 damage with the right perks. Though it could be dealing alot more taking all the extra limb damage into consideration. It's supposed to shoot out over 250 explosive pellets at once, each pellet dealing 30+ area damage so yeah, this gun is kinda bonkers which is why I so aptly named it: The Commonwealth DoomSlayer. Do take care in using it, it's guaranteed to crash your game if fired more than once or atleast that's my theory. Put simply: it's powerful enough to make "the big bang" that created our universe look like a firecracker the size of a raisin.
That's exactly what I was afraid off when I was trying to run and record this at the same time on my PC. I was worried that this might crash my kit lol. It does go a little crazy, I'm happy I didn't make the machinegun one instead. Or an Automatic pistol.
I know on the Ps4 version, you could get some weapons to have 2 legendary effects. I think they required to be the same type of weapon. Does that still work, or does it crash the game? I have a Improved Vats Gauss Rifle and The Last Minute Gauss Rifle which does the 50% more limb damage. Would be awesome if I'm able to put both perks on 1, and the game not crash.
@TrappedInFallout yeah, I think it was patched out on ps4. Was trying to see if they forgot about it on this version. Bc you use to could get get 2 legendary perks on 1 item. But that was a long time ago. Miss those days.
OH GODS, IT WORKS! I did this in my game and now I have an infinite clip, western revolver that shoots 5 mini nukes. I did have it on a 10 mm Pistol, but automatic weapons WILL CRASH THE GAME! Now I wonder what other weapons can be fused like this? If anyone knows this question, please let me know!
Thanks for confirming that it's all working. To answer your question try any weapons and see what you get. It's up to you really. Some won't work but will look different and some will be functional.
this is a very helpful and wonderful guide! i’ve been having a problem with the next gen update though. the piggy bank launcher comes in front of the mirv launcher so you can’t do the scrap exploit to make the launcher for free. it’s really annoying
Nope, no special tricks at all. It's pretty much as shown in this video. You could alternatively checkout my latest content (7 insance glitches for Fallout 4) where I think I go into a little more detail about this glitch - perhaps something there may help but truth be told it's almost the same set of steps.
@TrappedInFallout unfortunately now it seems to only bring up a key after I scrap the fatman. And we can't drop keys or quest items, anyway around this?
Has anyone found a way to add range to this thing? No matter what gun its on the best range is 23 wich isn't far enough. Would be nice if I didn't blow myself up so often 😅
Sadly you can not add range to mini nukes. When you fire the nuke itself the range is dependent on how high up you aim and not based on the trajectory of the weapon itself. And that's sort of why I mentioned not to this in close corridors.
Yeah that's part of the beauty. The base weapon uses its ammo type and not the ammo type of the modification. So you will practically not have to go and fish for missiles or nukes as such. It's a really nice little bonus to this also.
I think this is now patched, when I do it, a random item from your inventory instead of the weapon appears, or the pipboy appears instead of the destined weapon
@@TrappedInFallout sweet, that'd be awesome! I just played around and got the mirv attachment on the big boy with multi shot, that was neat. And then I got a focused laser barrel mod on an auto 10mil pistol with silencer. Cool stuff.
Does this really work I'm on pc trying and trying it's not working it keeps scrapping weapon only, I've got no mods I follow the details wrote them down is this patched already
Thankfully it's not been patched but it is tricky to do, especially if your doing it the first time. Sadly it's all about getting the timing right. I would suggest if your playing on PC then try with a game pad if you can. In fact that is what I am doing in the video. I'm on PC playing with an XBox controller.
It totally does work on PC. I'm on PC and used that glitch hundreds of times. In fact you should be able to attach almost all modifications to different weapons. Console players on the other hand (as far as I know) can only attach modifications from the first two maybe three weapon slots (mostly receivers, barrels and grips).
Closest thing that happened to me was that when I named something 1 and the next thing 2, instead of putting the mod onto the gun a 10mm box appeared Are you using some inventory organizer mod?
@TrappedInFallout I was trying to do that although it wouldn't allow me to drop any keys so they would pop up instead, I accidentally did it today tho while just customising other stuff I've now got an AK that fires harpoons 😆
@squidgymidget4202 That is great, it might just be a naming thing so you will probably be able to get around it after trying put some other names for your weapons.
@squidgymidget4202 Ha ha your about to unlock a whole new world of fun. I dont want to spill anything but make sure to keep an eye on my content over the next few weeks. I have a rather interesting 'GOD of GOD' content on this that I am working on.
@TrappedInFallout Yes I've made one of those on the character but I'm making a melee weapon that I've done before on a different character but any weapons at the moment shows as different bullets
@blade987 I'm probably misunderstanding something. Can you explain what you mean by 'wrong bullet'. I'm trying to understand how bullets play a role in this glitch since its all about weapon components, not visible ammo.
@TrappedInFallout do you have an email I can send a clip of it to show but when I do the glitch and try to attach a mod the mod disappears and then a bullet appears like a 10mm or 2mm EC
So this does not work with all mods across all weapons, it's a case of experimenting to see what works and what does not. That code written for targeting is specific for the missile launcher so changes are that mod will not work for other weapons.
I'm not entirely sure. It's not a weapon that I have tried this glitch on but it should work. I'm not sure what the result would look like but it will work.
Nothing, the new Piggy Bank is a new ammo type and it behaves differently and therefore it does not work with that which is a shame. It will work if you have the ammo but alas that's not going to help really.
I'm having trouble doing this glitch, I'm on ps5 I think the next-gen update made this impossible, cause now the fat man can be modified to be a piggy launcher And even if i put that mod on a pipe pistol, it uses special ammo(not the pipe pistol one) Is there any other way? Are there any other powerful posible combinations as this one right now?
I actually tried this myself a couple of days ago and was able to do this. You basically just need thr MIRV launcher and you should be good to go. I attached it to a pip pistol.
Yes, or rather I know of one or way. To use the companions glitch. It's not something I have covered just yet but plan to when is start looking at DLC content. I have quite alot to cover for th DLCs actually. 😄
Using this technique you won't be able to clone a legendary effect from one weapon to another as only the modification is carried over. However there may be a possible method that you can use to clone legendary effect from one weapon to another but sadly this is not it.
@@KevTarot That sounds like a great idea to try out and see what happens. The Minigun is very powerful but loading it up with 50 calibre bullets is just insane.
@@TrappedInFallout honestly, having a hard time doing that. So I tried to change the missile launcher quad barrel and targeting computer onto the laser pistol that gives faster firing rate
@@KevTarot I guess that's a plus at the end. Just a better version of your weapon. Some weapon combinations don't actually work at all. The base weapon sort of swallows the modification and you can't use it anymore. Still, it's fun combining weapons to see what is possible.
Get 10 points in every Special in FO4:

I love using the lock on missile attachment with the minigun it turns it into the Ryno from Ratchet and Clank imo which is really fun
Ripe you a new one, one of the best weapons I ever saved upo all those cogs for. It was one of the best weapons and the moment I got it I felt it was one of the best decisions ever. Yeah, it's crazy how you can recreate some other worldly weapons in FO4.
@@TrappedInFallout yeah agreed
How did you use the lock on missile attachment to the minigun if this exploit only lets you add the first mod slot of the scrapped weapon? The first mod slot of the missile launcher is a barrel slot, not a sight slot (targeting computer is a sight)
Sorry, I found it out. It requires some sleight of hand with the mouse on PC thus making it extremely difficult to pull off on console
@@LyricalPradaxan Oh that's awesome, I'm happy that you managed to figure it out and get it working 👍
The MIRV Minigun is the most unbelievably cursed weapon I’ve ever wielded in any game I’ve ever played.
It's honestly just a crazy weapon. It's so OP to the point it can even crash the game in but a few seconds.
It'll bring a 3090 TI to its knees in the VR port.
Put a submachine gun receiver and missile computer system on a combat shotgun. It's just as crazy, actually looks like a legitimate gun, and won't kill you as often
@@raincloud1313 Survival mode this will one-shot you guaranteed. Self-damage due to explosions is freakin insane. It's for this reason I carry two 10mm pistols, one modded to fire homing rockets like you said, the other that's just a conventional two-shot. Shares the same ammo, lightweight, covers me for long-distance and up-close.
@@raincloud1313what if you do the combat shotgun and the fat man. Will each pellet be a mininuke
Loved fallout games in general where you were able to customise your own weapons and with the pipe weapons being universal and turning them into a rifle, or a sniper, even into a pistol was awesome, giving a small pistol a scope was quite fun for me, just knowing you can actually do that
It's an absolute solid exploit and when done right it can be very powerful. You can create your own weapon to. Sometimes they may not do increased damage etc but they can look the part to fit your own playstyle or build.
Create Frankenweapon using Tommy Gun and nukes.
Forget it's equipped inside a building.
Create a less exuberant Frankenweapon.
Ha ha you have yo be careful when indoors when using anybody explosive weapons in general really. I have lost so many times, usually due to my own actions.
Jesus mother of God that's a glitch, holy smokes
Yeah that sounds about right. This is one of the few glitches that literally allows you to create your own weapons. Imagine combining things like Minigins and pistols or laser weapons with machine guns lol.
@@TrappedInFallout holy crap, what happens if you add this to a shotgun that has double projectiles? Would every shotgun buckshot pellet projectile each be a bunch of nukes? So every shotgun shell would be like... 8 pellets, with MIRV for each, AND double shot? Holy crap
@@JB-xl2jc There really is no way to know until you actually try it out. I am currently applying sledgehammers modification to a combat knife. Combine that with VATs, melee and Ninja perks. My goal is to one hit kill a Mirelurk Queen on survival mode. It's fun trying things out lol.
Praise Todd, in all his glory.
what if a shotgun had a artifact mod on it
I have an early update for everyone. My friend axslbreaker has found another use with this glitch. He has taken the deep dish modification from the gamma gun and has managed to put it on a minigun. AND IT WORKS. What we have found is the barrel modification is what's being used in the glitch so you are able to modify the new frankengun. I caution anyone wanting to use a missile launcher or fat man as too many explosions caused our games to crash when we tested this. That being said enjoy your new combo weapons fellow vault dwellers.
And I have an update to my update. My friend and i just did another test and have found this glitch works with melee weapons. We have successfully managed to put a super sledge into a ripper. What we have found is the melee weapon you want to fuse HAS to have 2 damage types to apply any change to the new weapon so if the weapon has slash and electric damage then electric damage will be transferred. If the weapons ONLY HAVE ONE DAMAGE TYPE than nothing will change aside from the weapons look.
That sounds like an excellent combination. So as long as the damage type of different between the weapons then its works. Cool, I will try it out. I did at one point merge a sledge hammet with a combat knife and it looked like thors hammer.
This looks very powerful and fun at the same time. I like how you show to make new weapons.
Thank you Rony, it's a great weapon exploit and I hope folks have a lot of fun using this one.
Now this makes me want to go and see if I can get Aeternus with either plasma or nuka-quantum rounds, thanks for bringing this glitch to our attention. 😊
No problem at all Elian. That's sort of the beauty of this glitch, you can go and experiment and see what happens. At times you may not be happy with the results and at other times they may just surprise you. This has the potential to be super OP, literally For tier weapons. Now imagine taking this and using effects like Explosive on weapons.
This will make the Alien Blaster ammo no longer rare
@@thehunter5607 you sir, are a genius.
@@Tim7318-3 I just had a thought about that Is all. It’s literally the most rare type of ammo out there.
@@thehunter5607 Nope, that's the other benefit of using this glitch. The base weapons ammo type is used and the commonwealth is bombarded with 10mm ammo, no pun intended 😄👍
A perfectly balanced game with no glitches, bugs, or exploits. 😊
It just works lol. Yeah, and better it you can create not just any weapon but some OO ones too. Bring in the hordes of Deathclaws, it's nothing but a hot knife on butter.
It's not a bug, it's a featuree
It simply functions
I had to nerf myself after putting the harpoon shotgun spread mod onto the Spray n’ Pray. It killed alpha deathclaws in just a few rounds.
Hence why I call these Godly weapon. Enemies become as humbled as a radroach when you make weapons like this in game.
The big boy along with the targeting hud and the nuka nuke launcher modification finna be an insane combo

I hope it worked out for you, sounds like a good combo.

A deadly combination for sure.....
i like the reference
It works on plays station 5 as today November 1st 2024. good tutorial video man 👍🏼
Thanks so much for confirming that this still works, much appreciated.
Nov. 2024. Do these still work? I've tried it, they merged but does not fire the rocket or nuke rounds, just normal 10 mm ect.
I tried this recently myself and it was working when I did it. I tried on the latest patched version with ghe Next Gen update and it was working.
Aside from combining the nuke to a minigun as others have mentioned. Would be interesting to merge the harpoon gun or bowling ball launcher to a minigun.
Yes, itost certainly will be. I am also looking into seeing if it's possible to take something like Ballistic Weave from normal clothing and seeing if I can apply it to something like Leather Armor. And then seeing if it possible to apply to hands, legs etc effectively having it applied more than twice.
@@TrappedInFallout I would love to know what your results are with this
I'd love to stick Ballistic Weave onto my Vault Suit for the bonus rad resistance
@@rydergolde3169 It's a great question. It's not something I have had a lot of success with but I did manage it. I have not tried too much playing around with my Vault suit but have done it on other clothing items and in the end did at points manage to have clothing armor that out classed power Armor defense. It can get really crazy and OP.
my favorite combo that ive done so far is a knife with the armor piercing mod for the power fist it makes it look like you’re holding a weaponized cinder block so i can go up to my enemies and shout “Hey Wattson! Cinder block!” 😂
That's a very interesting combo. For melee weapons, I like to go with Sledge hammer modifications on small melee weapons such as Combat knifes. Small, compact and very high damage. Imagine combining this with Ninja, VATS etc. Melee would be totally broken.
@@TrappedInFallout oh yeah do the bleeding baseball bat or sledgehammer mod on the Ripper from Far Harbor that combo is op!
Be VERY careful with this combo. Fatman launchers are built to fire at an arc whereas most other weapons are meant to be fired line of sight. You can accidentally nuke yourself. Fire up at a slight angle. Try not to use VATS either, because the same logic applies. The game will shoot the projectile straight instead of at an arc and you can accidentally nuke yourself. Finally, do NOT spam shoot this, ESPECIALLY with a two-shot variant, you can lag the game badly or crash it entirely. I know, I made that mistake myself.
I have done this to myself many many times and yet I don't seemed to have learnt my lesson. I tend to use this combo of weapons mainly when I am outside but I also tend to take a little bit of a risk when indoors also. Mostly to my own demise. Good point, thanks for sharing Craxin.
MIRV + minigun = game no work now lol
I once did this after modifying a pipe pistol with an automatic receiver and the best possible magazine it could have. I called it Total Atomic Annihilation, but uh, there are a couple of rules to keep in mind with this particular weapon.
- Rule #1: Don't use TAA indoors.
- Rule #2: Don't use TAA with V.A.T.S. since it'll aim like you're using a regular, non-nuclear pipe pistol, except you're not.
Yeap, I've been done more damage to myself using this type of weapon over any other weapon type in the game.
BTW this works on the VR port, but you MUST use an xbox controller. If you try to do it using the VR hand controls, for whatever reason, it does not work even if you press the correct buttons at the exact correct time. Something about the input requires a normal gamepad.
I don't own a VR so this is very helpful info. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for explaining the set up and other possible uses. Very fun addition to the game!
No problem at all, thank you for your feedback and comment.
Why, after seeing this video, did I get the urge to violate the Geneva Convention by trying to add a rocket launcher modification to some minigun with the legendary infinite ammunition effect?
This sounds like the beginnings of lots or random game crashes and yet lots of run just running around and seeing what happens.
Please somebody tell me how to do this with literally anything that isnt the barrel! Anytime i try to pick a different part, it doesnt let me!
Not all the modes types across wvery weapon may work the way shown. It's basically a limitation of the glitch itself. You can try experimenting and see happen
I just found out you have to do this on PC to change anything that isnt the receiver. PS5 cant do any other part
Finally .38 ammo is useful.
lol yeah, and it's nice also given how common it is.
Every time I've ever tried this, it usually works. But sometimes it will scrap the weapon, go to the other weapon but not have the option to put on the other weapons modifications and will be normal. It's annoying but I did make an invisible pistol so that's cool 👍
This is a tricky one to do and the button timing can be hard. But yes if you get the timing right then you can get some interesting results. It's best to save just before trying to prevent accidentally scrapping your weapons.
I'm gonna go try this out with modded weapons. See if I can get a vanilla minigun to fire 20mm vulcan rounds so I can make a portable GAU-8 Avenger, or something ridiculous like that
That sounds like a solid plan. Better yet, see if you can find a legendary Minigun. Say something that does more damage or has a infinite load clip etc. It will all stack when you take the mod off the Minigun and onto another weapon.
if i may, if it does not work - try naming the 'top' (source weapon) as a Blank Space (SPC), and name the 'bottom' (target weapon) as two Blank Spaces (SPC SPC) - this is on a Keyboard or accessing the keyboard interface on a Console gaming box; i forgot where i read this originally [sorry whomever discovered it] but this has worked for me personally, when i sometimes had trouble to combine the two weapons...
great vid as always, great tip!
Thanks for sharing that tip, that really helps alot. Totally appreciated.
There is a mod called the cheat terminal portable wich basically let's you use console commands without opening the console so basically it's for console players
Anyways there is an option that let's you modify a gun you are holding and you can basically put any modifications on any gun you want
Yeap, it's an op mod and it works wonders. Thanks for checking out my guide and for your comment.
It says you can’t scrap legendary weapons. How do take off big Jim effect and put on pipe rifle. As big Jim only has standard on the crafting table shows nothing else. I need help what am I missing watch many videos and still can’t figure it out at all. Lol
@thewatcher5248 Good catch, sadly this does not work on Legendary weapons. Or rather you can take a mod off a legendary weapon and put it on some other weapon. You can put mods on a legendary weapon but not take one off them because you can't scrap them.
I saw someone else glitch a merv to a mini gun. He fired it from the top of a skyscraper downtown, and the rain of fire was impressive to say the least. I think he killed everything in the commons is one volley.

@@BradleyFenimore-t8j I have always wondered if it's possible to have a targeting system on weapons other than a missile launcher.

On ps5 trying this and I’m following it exactly how you explained and it doesn’t work , I’m using the fat man and a 10mm pistol and it doesn’t work . Just shows the scrap of the fat man
I don't own a PS5 so I am not entirely sure. It might be a button timing thing. On PC you need to press the buttons at exactly the same time. On PS5 that might not be the case. Perhaps try pressing one button just a second before pressing the other and see if that helps.
@@TrappedInFalloutHe's right it doesn't work for the 10mm pistol I did read on the wiki that this doesn't work for all weapons which is probably why a lot others use the pipe pistol
@@daxx3y well I’ve actually tried a variety of weapons and it didn’t work , just showed a pile of scrap when I did the trick
@@someoneelse4132 your timing and order of weapons are key when doing this you kinda hafta keep trying it's very much doable, the video is legit.
For some reason when I press scrap button when it says standard launcher it keeps me in the menu with the standard launcher instead of taking me to the other weapon in my inventory, do you know why? I’m trying to put a fat make launcher on a mini gun btw
It might be due to the naming of the mods. The order of the names of the mods can sometimes determine if the effect works. Try using different names and see if that helps.
That sounds to me like you have multiple fatmans in your inventory. In that case the glitch will not work. If you don't know what you are doing, it's a good idea to put every item from your inventory into one container and only have the weapons that you need for this glitch in your inventory before actually performing it.
Wow, thats one heck of a glitch buddy!😮 Nice sharing of this one!😃🤘
Hey Reck, I thanks so much, I really appreciate it. It's a solid glitch and can make evena level 1 vault dweller into a walking tank......provided you can get your hands on the weapons.
Mmm, if i put the piggy mod on a pistol, it fires piggys but the ammo are piggys not pistol ammo..it's kinda of expensive... or i missed something in the proces??
No I don't think you have. It's something that I have checked myself and thr Piggy Ammo seems to behave differently to the other ammo and therefore is treated differently.
I know, i tried the same thing
I learned about this glitch months ago, but I forgot how to do the timing, so I came back. My personal favorite combo is the MIRV and the Thirst Zapper from Nuka World
That sounds like a deadly combination, I will have to try it out for myself. Thanks for sharing.
The right d pad for pc is the right arrow key right?
Yes that's right. I do play on PC but I use an XBox controller but you are right. Best of luck with the glitch, thanks for watching and commenting Kev.
I unfortunately tried this glitch on 01-24-24 and it seems to not work
Edit on 01-27-24. I got the glitch to work, the names “0” & “1” were not working but I changed the names to regular “pip pistol” & “fat boy” them back to “0” “1” then it decide to work
I'm sorry to hear that. It should be still working as confirmed by others in the comments. When you say it does not work, in what way? I can try to help if possible.
@@TrappedInFallout when I hit scrape and modify at the same exact time, a box of 10mm rounds shows up instead of the pipe pistol

@@EllieNotSoSmelly I tried it with a few different pipe pistols and different types of big boys, it doesn’t want to work. What system yall playing on?
@Fitchmister224 I'm playing on PC but many folks have confirmed to be working across multiple platforms. Instead of pressing both buttons, perhaps now try sliding your finger from one button to another and holding it down.
Im exicuting the glitch part but it does not appear with a weapon with the fat man on it. But a weapon mod box instead, and when you try to attach it it crashes my game
Sadly this glitch is not as reliable as some of the others. It can work on some weapon in some combinations but may not for others. Sadly it is a trial and error process to see what works.
@@TrappedInFallout This glitch is actually quite reliable (if you know what you are doing). I'm on PC and with the help of FO4edit (used only as a library) i can figure out what every weapon and modification does. Though some trial and error is nevertheless involved because FO4edit doesn't show how the engine will behave.
@maybee5059 Thanks for sharing. What I should have said is that when using the glitch, some mods only appear to be cosmetic changes while some changes effect the weapon and how it behaves.
@@TrappedInFallout Yeah - a lot of modification are really similar - so only cosmetic changes may happen. But there are enough different modifications, that very OP combinations are possible. For example the explosive Double-Barrel Shotgun with a plasma flamer barrel and a rapid receiver (Combat Rifle) attached. Creating a gun with like 200000 ballistic damage.
@maybee5059 That's just a crazy weapon. It would not brak your framerate but break anything else that walks in your general direction. Being a shotgun it would also be a good crowd controller.
I bet they "fixed" this glitch, because i don't see the next weapon, I only see the "weapon mod box"-model. Granted, the srap-select thing works, pressing right works, but when I attach the MIRV mod, the game crashes. Maybe they change a property in a weapon class where the value of MIRV can't be stored and so crashes. I'm playing on pc, and it shouldn't differ from PS much.
I actually tried it myself and found that it was working. I did go through all the glitches myself and found most of them still ot he working. And this was after the 13th. I am working on something to help share the news a little in the background.
So I just tried this a triple barrel missle launcer and a pipe pistol and it looks right but still shoots like a pistol
Sadly some mods are only for asthetic reasons and don't serve anything functional while others actually do something. The triple barrel might be just a look thing.
Nice guide as always Mo.
Thank you so much Rony, I really appreciate your support and comment.
Me and my friend tried for a day to get this glitch to work and here's the weapons we were able to get to work.
10 mm pistol
Pipe pistol plus variants
Double barrel shotgun (game breaking)
Combat rifle
Assault rifle
Minigun (game breaking)
All these weapons can be used SO LONG AS ITS NOT AN AUTOMATIC. If it's an automatic weapon your game will crash. I'll be trying it out with energy weapons this weekend and I'll post an updated list. ALL THE GUNS CAN BE MODIFIED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BARREL WITH THIS GLITCH.
Thank you so much for your detailed list and for all your testing. I am sure that this will really help out so many folks.
So far there where never a combination of weapons and mods that outright chrashed my game (That only happens when firing certain combinations - especially explosives). Barrels can definitely attached to different weapons. I would argue that this glitch works with almost every weapon, but certain combination will not be able to fire.
I attached a missile launcher to a 10mm pistol base but it doesnt shoot out missiles, i dont get it
It shout be shooting missiles visually but it should be using the 10mm ammo instead. That's assuming you applied the same mods and used the same weapons I used in this guide. Also, not all mods works with all weapons sadly. Some even can crush the game.
The quad barrel from the missile launcher only increases magazine size unfortunately, doesn't change what you shoot
How could I make a pipe pistol shoot missiles I did the glitch and it was attached but it still fired bullets
Targeting Computer
@@potadrone5496 is it because the quad barrel isn’t a receiver?
I'm not entirely sure. I have tried and did manage it in a previous playthrough but that was a combination of some random weapons. Apologies but it was a while ago but I will try to figure it out.
@@TrappedInFallout thanks
I had the same problem
Im confused on how this glitch works, I tried making a double barreled shoot multiple high damaging lazers by combining it with a laser musket, and when i shoot it, it does shoot multiple lazers but doesn't do very much damage, i also tried combining a pipe rifle with a and hunting rifle hoping the pipe rifle would have the damage of a hunting rifle, but still not very much damage
In this guide I essentially showed how to make a very specific weapon using the glitch but sadly it's not the same when using other mods from other weapons. Some mods from some weapons grant specific effects but not always. Some do boost damage, many don't. It's a little random so you will have to mix and match and see what you get.
@@TrappedInFallout alright, thank you
Holy mother of the holy hands of Joshua Graham what is this glitch we don't have this in Fallout New Vegas.

now it wants to do it with geralds barricade key
This might be happening due to your inventory items. Try again by removing as much as your inventory as you can and also try by naming your weapons as number before attempting to do the glitch.
I crossed a revolver with the deliverer and I was cracking up so bad
It must look pretty awesome. A little like the Gainer I would imagine lol.
can someone help me i keep attaching the mod and stuff like it works...but it doesnt shoot the correct thing like it just continues to shoot the same bullets instead of the mirv
After you attach the mod, does it look like the weapon has the mod on it? Also, are you sure you attached the modification of the Fatman to your weapon?
@@TrappedInFallout i managed to figure it out. the weapon i was trying it one had a different receiver on it. when i unattached the receiver it started to work.

Many thanks for confirming that this still works.
Still Working on PS5!!
Definitely deserve a like 😁😁
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
any idea why my pipe pistole has the fat boy mod on it but still shoots normal bullets?
It should fire normal ammo and your normal ammo should go down when using this glitch but the ammo animation should be mini nukes. As long as you have attached the MIRV launcher then that is what should happen.
Hey, how do i put mods other than the barrel onto other guns? I wanted to make a rapid firing rocket launcher
You essentially have a mod available from the weapon on top and then use the steps shown to put it on a weapon below. Do note that not all weapon mods work on other weapons. Some mods end up just being an aesthetics thing.
I'm trying the same thing, use the rocket launcher's tracking Computer, the quad barrel just quadruples your mag size
(That's what I have gathered from other comments, I've not tested it)
Is there a glitch I can do to not have to level up the gun nut and science perks in order to do this glitch?
Yes, this one. You can do this glitch without the perks but you will have less access to weapon mods in general.
I dunno if anyone will answer this due to how old the video is, but, when doing the glitch, what weapon will it scale with? For example, will it scale with the pistol or the fatman? Neither? Both?
I can try to answer your question 😊, the power scales based on the ammo type. In this case since I use mini nukes the power comes from the nukes and not the base weapon. So if you managed to get a mod on a weapon that uses 10mm ammo but the weapon traditionally uses .45 then chances are this will reduce the power of the damage output.
@@TrappedInFallout Thank you, that's very helpful. I used the glitch to make a scatter shot missile launcher (combat shotgun x quad barrel missile launcher) it's far too broken, lmao. Have a lovely day
@Eclipse-kv1os Wish you the same, have fun experimenting.
@@TrappedInFallout The power scales with the base damage of the weapon the modification is attached to. Only exceptions are modification that change the projectile in an explosive one. Those modifications will then add a flat amount of explosive damage to every projectile.
@maybee5059 Thanks for sharing, I'm actually trying to look into this a little further. It's probably the most OP weapon that won't crash your game at the same time.
I did that with a pipe pistol with the never ending perk for unlimited power
And with double shot too
Died so often to my own attacks

@@lixnix2018 I most certainly will, in fact I sort of have. My PC survived 😄👍
i have a question so, i can use this glitch to clone a legendary effect to a gun to another? or just the modifications?
This glitch is more about transferring mods from one weapon and onto another and you may also be able to transfer the effect over also. You can also apply multiple mods from multiple weapons onto the same weapon.
@@TrappedInFallout thanks for the reply moe, keep up with the content :)
I don't think you can scrap legendary weapons.
@@burtonla No problem at all.
@user-xx5cv3ep7d oh I have learnt that hard way, you most certainly can scrap legendary weapons. Don't try it though, it's not great if you can't reload a save file to try and recover it.
So i tried this with a minigun and a missile launcher but it still just fires 5mm instead of missiles. Are there any combos that dont work or did do something wrong?
This glitch does not always work with all weapon and the modifications also need to support it. For instance if you attach a scope or stock then that wouldodify your weapon but not switch out the ammo. It's a case of trying out things and seeing really.
@Trapped In Fallout yeah so I experimented a little more and turned that minigun into a quadrant deleter since the mirv fuses with about anything apparently.
@@Mighty_Mr_B Fair enough, I guess that can be a good thing. I personally love my Pistol FatMan. It does wonders when trying to take out many enemies at once.

Thanks Hunter. It's an awesome glitch and just imagine how much easier it would be to min/max character builds. The funny thing is that I have been doing this for years but apparently it's not very well known.
Does this actually work?? Is it the damage of the nukes or just the animation of the nuke with the damage of the pipe pistol? In your demonstration video in Concord, it appears the Raiders weren't really getting damaged.
It's definitely the damage of the nukes. I may have missed (as unlikely as that would sound). Try using this on a Deathclaw and you should see its action rather quickly. It really is an OP weapon.
I did this with a missile launcher but it won't shoot any missiles.
This glitch does not work with all weapon mods. Some are sadly just aesthetics while others are functional.
Does this only work for the fatman? I’ve tried quite a few other combos but they’re all visual only.
It's totally random really. Some do look visually while others do serve somewhat functionally. Try putting the barrel of a minigun on other weapons or try putting something from a pistol on a minigun or my personal favorite to try putting a sledge hammer on a knife.
It's kinda difficult to understand what is going on in Todd's great creations, I tried putting the missile launchers quad barrel on my pipe revolver to shoot missiles, instead it quadrupled my revolvers ammo capacity
Can you make a 50 Cal pistol? That’s what I wanna know.?
Gentlemen, I've formulated a truly powerful weapon capable of one shotting everything and doing so on unreasonably effective scales.
Unfortunately: This weapon is only accessable to those who can use a computer mouse.
The recipe for this weapon of mass destruction calls for:
An explosive combat shotgun
45. Cal reciever mod from a pipe pistol
An improved beam splitter from a plasma weapon
An amplified beam splitter from a laser rifle or laser musket.
You are free to add whatever extra modifications you feel will improve the weapon's performance, you're welcome
Thanks so much for sharing, sounds like a really powerful weapon. I will try it out myself and see how it goes ha ha.
@TrappedInFallout It's supposed to deal approximately 8704 damage with the right perks. Though it could be dealing alot more taking all the extra limb damage into consideration. It's supposed to shoot out over 250 explosive pellets at once, each pellet dealing 30+ area damage so yeah, this gun is kinda bonkers which is why I so aptly named it: The Commonwealth DoomSlayer.
Do take care in using it, it's guaranteed to crash your game if fired more than once or atleast that's my theory. Put simply: it's powerful enough to make "the big bang" that created our universe look like a firecracker the size of a raisin.
Lol it might be my ticket out of Fallout ha ha. Jokes aside it sounds crazy powerful.
@TrappedInFallout With great power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely, young padiwan.
The very fate of the wastes may be in your hands
@@ColvynMearsTheLoneHowler I will certainly try my best
I feel like this is a speed run guide to breaking your pc hahaha. I know mine would blow up just from the frames of the first nuke explosion lol
That's exactly what I was afraid off when I was trying to run and record this at the same time on my PC. I was worried that this might crash my kit lol. It does go a little crazy, I'm happy I didn't make the machinegun one instead. Or an Automatic pistol.
The MIRV mini gun is good in all but try a flamer MIRV
I think I may do that and see how much more devastating I can make this Godly weapon. Maybe super Godly lol. It's already too OP.
I know on the Ps4 version, you could get some weapons to have 2 legendary effects. I think they required to be the same type of weapon. Does that still work, or does it crash the game? I have a Improved Vats Gauss Rifle and The Last Minute Gauss Rifle which does the 50% more limb damage. Would be awesome if I'm able to put both perks on 1, and the game not crash.
I don't think this is possible because you can't scrap legendary weapons. And you need to be able to scrap weapons to move mods around.
@TrappedInFallout yeah, I think it was patched out on ps4. Was trying to see if they forgot about it on this version. Bc you use to could get get 2 legendary perks on 1 item. But that was a long time ago. Miss those days.
OH GODS, IT WORKS! I did this in my game and now I have an infinite clip, western revolver that shoots 5 mini nukes. I did have it on a 10 mm Pistol, but automatic weapons WILL CRASH THE GAME! Now I wonder what other weapons can be fused like this? If anyone knows this question, please let me know!
Thanks for confirming that it's all working. To answer your question try any weapons and see what you get. It's up to you really. Some won't work but will look different and some will be functional.
this is a very helpful and wonderful guide! i’ve been having a problem with the next gen update though. the piggy bank launcher comes in front of the mirv launcher so you can’t do the scrap exploit to make the launcher for free. it’s really annoying
Yeah, even worse is that you can combine the Piggy Bank with other weapon or rather you can but sadly it does not fire ammo native to the weapon.
Any trick to help get this to work ? I can’t get it to work on my console for some reason 😔
Nope, no special tricks at all. It's pretty much as shown in this video. You could alternatively checkout my latest content (7 insance glitches for Fallout 4) where I think I go into a little more detail about this glitch - perhaps something there may help but truth be told it's almost the same set of steps.
Followed and can’t get it to work I’m on a Xbox so don’t know if that changes it
Sounds like it should be working. I am working on some new content and I will try to explain it further. But this has been confirmed working by many.
Thank you I got it to work
Thank you for this video and thank you for gunner cage video too
No problem at all, I hope that it helped. Thanks so much for checking it out and for your comment.
Is it normal for it to crash the game the moment you select the mirv? Tried 5x same thing.
It might be. It should be working for the weapons and mods that I have shown in this video but other weapon and mod combinations might crash the game.
@TrappedInFallout unfortunately now it seems to only bring up a key after I scrap the fatman. And we can't drop keys or quest items, anyway around this?
Has anyone found a way to add range to this thing? No matter what gun its on the best range is 23 wich isn't far enough. Would be nice if I didn't blow myself up so often 😅
Sadly you can not add range to mini nukes. When you fire the nuke itself the range is dependent on how high up you aim and not based on the trajectory of the weapon itself. And that's sort of why I mentioned not to this in close corridors.
I did this with a missile launcher and a minigun. My minigun still fires 5mm even though I slapped a missile launcher barrel on it
You have to add the targeting computer
Yeah that's part of the beauty. The base weapon uses its ammo type and not the ammo type of the modification. So you will practically not have to go and fish for missiles or nukes as such. It's a really nice little bonus to this also.
@@mizzemartin5519 how do I add the targeting computer using this glitch?
I think this is now patched, when I do it, a random item from your inventory instead of the weapon appears, or the pipboy appears instead of the destined weapon
Try doing this with an empty inventory and also make sure to name your mods with perhaps full stops instead and see if that helps.
They have a video show me the different types of unique combinations you can come up with for weapons?
It's a great idea and I may going forward make a video showing all the weapon combinations that I can think of.
@@TrappedInFallout sweet, that'd be awesome! I just played around and got the mirv attachment on the big boy with multi shot, that was neat.
And then I got a focused laser barrel mod on an auto 10mil pistol with silencer. Cool stuff.
@Ryan-rh8rn Its really awesome. Something else to think about is that you can potentially apply multiple mods on weapons.
@@TrappedInFallout for sure! I'll definitely be experimenting. Fallout glitches are very fun.
@Ryan-rh8rn They most certainly are. I can hold up my hand and say I had alot of fun.
Does this really work I'm on pc trying and trying it's not working it keeps scrapping weapon only, I've got no mods I follow the details wrote them down is this patched already
Thankfully it's not been patched but it is tricky to do, especially if your doing it the first time. Sadly it's all about getting the timing right. I would suggest if your playing on PC then try with a game pad if you can. In fact that is what I am doing in the video. I'm on PC playing with an XBox controller.
It totally does work on PC. I'm on PC and used that glitch hundreds of times. In fact you should be able to attach almost all modifications to different weapons. Console players on the other hand (as far as I know) can only attach modifications from the first two maybe three weapon slots (mostly receivers, barrels and grips).
i keep trying it and it keeps on glitching to the keys, junk, and other stuff not to the pipe pistol?
Is this when you try to move the mod of one weapon and onto then other? At this point you should not see any other items from your inventory.
Closest thing that happened to me was that when I named something 1 and the next thing 2, instead of putting the mod onto the gun a 10mm box appeared
Are you using some inventory organizer mod?
It keeps giving me the option to add mods to the Alien blaster ammo itself 😅
Try to make sure that you inventory is totally empty. Or likewise name your weapons 0 and 1 and that should help with the glitch.
@TrappedInFallout I was trying to do that although it wouldn't allow me to drop any keys so they would pop up instead, I accidentally did it today tho while just customising other stuff I've now got an AK that fires harpoons 😆
@squidgymidget4202 That is great, it might just be a naming thing so you will probably be able to get around it after trying put some other names for your weapons.
@@TrappedInFallout Aye much appreciated brotha your advice to change the names to 01 and 02 worked perfectly so I'm currently creating monstrosities 😆
@squidgymidget4202 Ha ha your about to unlock a whole new world of fun. I dont want to spill anything but make sure to keep an eye on my content over the next few weeks. I have a rather interesting 'GOD of GOD' content on this that I am working on.
I keep getting an image of a bullet any way to fix
It takes the first mod from weapon 1 and applies it to weapon 2. Have you tried using the exact weapons shown in the video?
@TrappedInFallout Yes I've made one of those on the character but I'm making a melee weapon that I've done before on a different character but any weapons at the moment shows as different bullets
@blade987 I'm probably misunderstanding something. Can you explain what you mean by 'wrong bullet'. I'm trying to understand how bullets play a role in this glitch since its all about weapon components, not visible ammo.
@TrappedInFallout do you have an email I can send a clip of it to show but when I do the glitch and try to attach a mod the mod disappears and then a bullet appears like a 10mm or 2mm EC
@blade987 I have a Twitter handle you can send it to if you want. But it will likely be a letter issues. Have you tried other letters?
I got a glock mod and put a MIRV launcher on it. The Boom Boom Glock, is what I call it
Ha ha sounds like a real problem solver for sure.
I can't get the targeting launcher on the minigun. Any advice ?
So this does not work with all mods across all weapons, it's a case of experimenting to see what works and what does not. That code written for targeting is specific for the missile launcher so changes are that mod will not work for other weapons.
@TrappedInFallout I got it to work. I was doing it wrong before. I managed to get the cryolator mod, too, on a minigun ! Thanks for answering, tho !
Does it work with gauss rifle? I want a gun that shoots gauss rifle ammo.
I'm not entirely sure. It's not a weapon that I have tried this glitch on but it should work. I'm not sure what the result would look like but it will work.
does it work on piggy thing cuz it’s showing me that i need piggy ammo
The Piggy is a new ammo type so it might behave a little differently. It theory it should work.
I tried to attatch a piggy bank launcher to a 10mm, it worked but now uses piggy ammo instead of 10mm.... what did i do wrong??
Nothing, the new Piggy Bank is a new ammo type and it behaves differently and therefore it does not work with that which is a shame. It will work if you have the ammo but alas that's not going to help really.
It’s not working for me did they patch it
Not that I know of. It was working the last time I tried it which was about a week ago and there have been no updates since.
I'm having trouble doing this glitch, I'm on ps5
I think the next-gen update made this impossible, cause now the fat man can be modified to be a piggy launcher
And even if i put that mod on a pipe pistol, it uses special ammo(not the pipe pistol one)
Is there any other way? Are there any other powerful posible combinations as this one right now?
I actually tried this myself a couple of days ago and was able to do this. You basically just need thr MIRV launcher and you should be good to go. I attached it to a pip pistol.
Can you combine 2 or more glitched weapons to make a MEGA glitched weapon
Sort of yes. You can keep applying modifications to the same base weapon and see what happens. I would not recommend it but it is possible for sure.
Hey do you know how to bring your stuff into the dead money dlc by any chance?
Yes, or rather I know of one or way. To use the companions glitch. It's not something I have covered just yet but plan to when is start looking at DLC content. I have quite alot to cover for th DLCs actually. 😄
@@TrappedInFallout okay ill keep an eye out then
@@astonporter8025 Nice one, I am hoping to cover it at some point in the future, hopefully soon.
How about cloning legendary effects from one weapon to the other?
Using this technique you won't be able to clone a legendary effect from one weapon to another as only the modification is carried over. However there may be a possible method that you can use to clone legendary effect from one weapon to another but sadly this is not it.
@@TrappedInFallout it's okay. Just trying my luck hehe.. I'm thinking of transferring .50 calibre barrel from a sniper to minigun.. hehehehehe
@@KevTarot That sounds like a great idea to try out and see what happens. The Minigun is very powerful but loading it up with 50 calibre bullets is just insane.
@@TrappedInFallout honestly, having a hard time doing that. So I tried to change the missile launcher quad barrel and targeting computer onto the laser pistol that gives faster firing rate
@@KevTarot I guess that's a plus at the end. Just a better version of your weapon. Some weapon combinations don't actually work at all. The base weapon sort of swallows the modification and you can't use it anymore. Still, it's fun combining weapons to see what is possible.
Lorenzo’s Artifact + Minigun… need I say more?
It sounds like a deadly combination and it's worth trying that out for sure. Thanks for sharing your idea.
