What custom weapon is the best in your opinion? I personally think the dart gun is the most useful because it cripples those massive leap attacks of deathclaws, but that pesky rock-it launcher gets some pretty stylish kills with plungers/hammers/anything you ever pick up. =)

Railway RIfle, because of it being a steam-powered rifle that shoots six inch long spikes.

Shame it makes the game crash.

That said, using a massive dead lizards hand as gauntlet is pretty awesome.

Love the Rock-it Launcher. Nothing cooler than seeing a plunger smack someone so hard in the head that it explodes!

Really, I can only vouch for the Rock-It Launcher because, apart from the bottlecap mine, it is the only custom weapon that I have ever managed to make. And the fact that in functionality, it closely resembles the gravity gun from half-life, adds to its appeal for me.

Dart Gun definitely.
At low levels it will save your ***** ass from Deathclaws. They're not so tough when their legs are crippled.
I only have the schematics for the Rock-It Launcher and the Shishkebab right now, but I keep finding darts EVERYWHERE. How do you get the plans for that?

Has to be the Rock-It Launcher. Ammo is everywhere :) In a post-nuclear apocolypse it'd be the best way to survive.

The shishkebab has got to be one of the least useful though. Fun, but wasteful. Think of all gas it would use up, which you could use to cook food </3.

Also I whish something could warn me there's a gas leak *before* I pull it out! Roast myself everytime >.<

I like them all, but have so far got the most use out of the Shishkebab. Countless supermutants have fallen prey to its awesome power! :p

That said, have never actually used the dart gun against a Deathclaw, maybe I ought to try that.

Now if only I could also find the schematic for the Deathclaw Gauntlet...

Hard choice between death claw gauntlet and Nuka Grenades.

Nuka Grenades are incredibly powerful. They can blow almost any enemy to pieces. The death claw gauntlet isn't limited by ammunition and has armor piercing. Anyone who has used it as an unarmed character knows the power it contains.

I'm going to go with Nuka Grenades. The amount of power they contain is just insane.

Also bottle cap mines can be really powerful, but I can never find the supplies to build them. Lunch boxes aren't that common.

A women in Tenpenny tower has a schematic for the Dart gun. That's the only one I know of.

How is the railway rifle that useful? I personally can never find the spikes for ammo, and is doesn't seem to have that good of damage or any unique and useful advantages.

I said the Shishkebab, because I spent more time killing enemies with it then I did crippling Deathclaws. Sure the dart gun is useful in that it cripple enemies, but the Shishkebab kills things.

Deathclaw Gauntlet or Shishkebab. The former is a Power Fist that ignores armor, and the latter is a flaming sword. Win.

Plus, the Pyromaniac perk applies to the Shishkebab as well.

It's a hard-tie between Railway Rifle and Dart Gun.
On one hand, the Dart Gun is essential when fighting bigger enemies like Behemoths and DeathClaws, so you can walk out of the Skirmish Not Dead But The Railway rifle makes Choo-Choo noises and Fires Spikes. And you can't put a price on that.
