More Rare Hidden Weapon Locations

where to find more rare weapons in fallout 76?
It's very important to scavenge for some of the rarer weapons in fallout 76 now. In order to learn some of the modifications for the rare weapons that exist in Fallout 76, you're actually going to need to scrap them. When you scrap a weapon, you actually have a chance of learning a new modification for it, like a night-vision scope or a silencer attachment. So the locations are basically guaranteed spawn locations where these rare weapons will appear in the game.  If instead though you're looking for legendary weapons with broken effects.  Since you cannot scrap legendary weapons, the only way to find rare weapon modifications is by using this method.

1 Location of the first weapon- crossbow
The first weapon is crossbow.  You can actually craft your own if you're interested in actually using it.  After all, it is a levelled weapon. Firstly find the crossbow itself.

fallout 76

Head to the northeast from vult 76 to the palace of the winding path located just here on the map, we can find ourselves a leveled crossbow.  Once you do arrive, head straight on and collect the crossbow. 
The crossbow we find here is usually leveled to your character.  If you come here at a low level, you'll obviously find a lower level crossbow which you can still pick up at level 1, you just won't actually be able to use it until level 15.  However, you should be able to get the max level crossbow which is for level 45 users. 
Just head over to the edge of the cliff where you'll see a table which will have a target range opposite on the table though. You will find crossbow. This is the only guaranteed spawn location for the crossbow in the game.

How to obtain the plans for the crossbow
To get these, you  need to head north east from vult 76 to the Pioneer Scout camp.  It's actually just southwest from the temple of the winding path, so you're not far away.

Before we go any further, just head up this tower on the left ear because sometimes there actually be a bobblehead spawning at the top.  You may as well just grab it while you're here.  Even if you don't plan on using it, you can actually sell it to vendors for 18 caps. 

Let's head to the left and around these buildings.  Just keep heading straight on and you'll eventually come to the archery range. This is actually an old scamp camp. As you might have guessed, it makes sense for them to be crafting crossbows. Once you arrive the plans for the crossbow can be found over here on the table, you will also find a recipe for filtered water within the cabin here. So make sure you grab that too. If you didn't know you can actually learn the plans by activating them in your inventory,and then you'll be able to craft the crossbow
As you level up now,the more powerful versions will become available maxing out at level 45 for the max damage of 81. The crossbow is a very fun weapon and it looks awesome. But it's definitely not the best weapon in the game even if you're playing a sneaky character. But it has its place.

2, Location of second weapon-the shish kebob
Now there are actually a few locations where to find this weapon.
First off, the shish kebob is one of the best one-handed melee weapons in fallout 76.

fallout 76

If you want an even balance between both energy weapon damage and physical damage, this can be very effective. If you don't want to get shut down by the physical armor of your opponent all the time and you're looking for a more consistent damage especially if you further modify the weapon to increase its energy weapon damage. 

First locations which is one more convenient.  East from the palace of the winding path where we picked up that crossbow  to head down the mountain, then to the left we'll actually find a secret mole minor camp nestled in the cliffs.  After you've dealt with the mole miners who to be honest, like all enemies in this game are a little bit derpy.

The mole mine is actually a great source of shotguns automatic double-barreled and also pump action shotguns.
They also drop missile launchers and the mole miner gauntlet. So it's a great source of weaponry, if you do plan on farming them.  They also drop the mole - scrap suit which is a fantastic source of black titanium.  You can also find a mining helmet just here. But the shish-kebab itself will spawn on this table over here. So make sure you pick up the first shish kabob.  As for the mining helmet though,  it's actually pretty cool.  Because it's one of the only helmets in the game that gives you a directional light source without actually wearing power armor. So if like me you get annoyed by the pip-boy light and how terrible it looks. Just put on this mining helmet instead, then you have a directional light source.

Second location to find a shish kebob need to come here on the map. Go south east from vult 76 to tangora town.  Notice that i'm standing on the southwest side of the location marker here on the map. Now is in the middle of the woods next to a colossal tree with a town inside it. 

Fallout 76


It's definitely worth checking out this location because it's absolutely magical. but from the east side of the tree you're going to want to head over to the abandoned shed here.  There are only a few buildings around this location. So it's really not hard to find this particular one.  Just inside on the right hand room, you're going to find the shish kebob on the floor here. Pick up that fiery blade.

Third location.  Come to the bottom right corner of the map from vult 76 to a location called the abandoned bog town which is located northeast from the city of Watonga. It also has a settlement that you can claim here as well for some extra resources.  Once you arrive you're gonna firstly want to check out the red rocket store.

Fallout 76

There's actually a randomly spawning mod behind the counter here.  So pick up that and head across the road to this Mad Max type wagon. Make sure that you loop the Raiders along the way because they usually have frag grenades as well.  So we firstly have the 50 caliber machine gun laying down here and next to it you'll find the shish kebob. If you look around this area, you'll also find lots of 50 caliber ammo for this machine gun.

You're going to need all the ammo you can get for that 50 caliber gun.  We need to come into the police station because there's another possible shish kebab location. To obtain this, you must first pick up the police jo keys which are on the desk.
There's also a note here about the asylum which is another very interesting location.  Especially law wise, if you read the back story about how patients were actually being mistreated in this note. Make sure you grab the handcuffs clipboard and the desk fan.  because they're all an excellent source of screws if you scrap
them.  You can never have enough screws for crafting. Now come into the back where you'll find the lock security door which you can open with the key we found.

3, Location of the third weapon- submachine gun
You're going to find a submachine gun on the right hand side which just got a 20% damage boost in the most recent patch by the way. In the other cell, you'll find a possible shish kebab spawn location. but instead I got an automatic combat rifle which again got a 20% damage boost in the most recent patch. so it's still decent. We will now open the back door though and head out back since there's another possible spawn location on the roof of this trailer.  By the way, if you search inside all these houses at this location, you end up with tons of Kem's.  I'm just not showing you every single spawn point since its kind of obvious if you look. Sadly, there was only a hunting rifle here on the roof for me.

But the next location will give us a submachine gun just on top of the other trailers roof.
Off that we want to head down and enter this large warehouse.
Now this location spawns another two melee weapons. One is on the side here on the workbench which I picked up earlier,  and the other one we need to head up these stairs. Firstly, there's a laser rifle which is usually modded most of the time so it's worth picking up. There's another basic melee weapon at the back here on the other side of the shed.

4, Location of the fouth weapon-the war drum
The next weapon I want to show you guys is the war drum. This is a two-handed melee weapon that makes a derpy drum sound, when you pound your foes with it.  It also looks very unique as well, despite it not actually being uniquely named. 

fallout 76

It also has only two guaranteed spawn locations in the game.
The easiest place to come to actually obtain this weapon is directly east from Vote 76 at the sons of dane encampment. There are a few other cool things here at this location which I'll share with you in a moment. First let's get the war drum.  Head up the hill towards the large warehouse, you may have to serve a hop a few times to obtain this weapon especially considering it's actually a hot spot for legendary weapon farming events.  At the back along the wall, you will find the guitar sword the war drum and also the Tambo fist as well. All these weapons actually make different musical noises when you hit your enemies with them and the latter are more common.
I found personally that the war drum only spawns here and at the top of the world.  but you actually need to complete another quest in order to gain access to it.

After you've got the weapon come around the back sometimes you actually find some power armor spawning here at the power armor workstation. you can also obtain a
random plan on the crates over here and then if you head over to the other side of the house and go downstairs into the basement, you actually find a supply closet with a level free lock. Obviously, if you don't have the skill, you can't access it.  It will have random power armor inside a mini nuke and also a stealth boy as well as a duffel bag which has a chance to contain high-level items in it as well.  Duffle bag seems to be without a doubt the best container to search, if you want high level weapons.  This stuff will always respawn here by the way.  So it's always worth checking back these location barb stares. We're also going to find on the top floor a bobblehead.  It will be random for you, but the bobbleheads are worth 18 caps each so make sure you pick them up.
