Fallout 4: Weapon upgrading Fallout 4 Guide

Last update: 16 April 2024

Basic information

Weapon upgrading allows changing its statistics. Some upgrades can increase the damage while reducing reach, other can increase the reach for the price of stronger recoil. Some can add special effect, like multiplied laser beam. Using the upgrade system can even change regular handgun into a powerful gunfire.

In order to upgrade weapon in Fallout 4, you must use the weapons workbench. Such workbenches are scattered across the game world (they can be found in almost every settlement, in abandoned buildings or on gas stations). You can also construct them in workshop mode (details in chapter focusing on settlement creation).

Weapons workbenches are shown on picture below. Important: workbench type has no impact on number and type of upgrades that you can do.
