Afterward he generously rewards you with his personal gun and invites you to join the Brotherhood of Steel. Thankfully, Paladin Danse comes along to help, and he’s wearing power armor and wielding Righteous Authority, so you’ve got excellent backup. He will ask you to come help him collect some equipment from nearby ArcJet Systems, which is swarming with synths.
After you help them out, talk to their leader, Paladin Danse. Follow it and you’ll find a stranded Brotherhood of Steel platoon holding off an onslaught of feral ghouls. Critical hits do double damage and are ready more frequently, making this especially effective in VATS. If you have high luck, then this stacks beautifully with the Better Criticals and Critical Banker perks to dish out hot, lasery justice.Īs you head south toward Diamond City, you’ll pick up a distress radio beacon from the Cambridge Police Department. Fortunately, unlike Kellogg’s it relies on the far more common fusion cell to work, which are everywhere once you start to fight synths. Like Kellogg’s Pistol, this is one of the earlier powerful weapons that people tend to find. Fortunately for your trouble, his clothes are also a decent set of unique armor that is likely better than anything else you’ve found to that point. He has quite a few synth friends and likes to use a stealth boy, so get ready for a pretty serious boss fight. He’s holed up in Fort Hagen along the western edge of the Commonwealth. Eventually you’ll get to a quest called Reunion, where Dogmeat will lead you and Nick to Kellogg by the scent of his cigars. Head to Diamond City and find Nick Valentine. You actually meet Kellogg before you ever leave the vault, but it takes a little while before you can find him again and take his pistol. The ammo scavenging perk is helpful in this regard, but for the most part, you’re going to want to save this gun for particularly rough battles or for devastating sneak attacks. 44 rounds for ammunition, which are far from common. The ability to refill your AP on a critical hit makes it extra deadly in VATS, too. Featuring staggering stopping power paired with decent range and accuracy, Kellogg’s Pistol fills the classic video game niche of the magnum revolver.
This pistol packs a powerful punch, and even though it crosses your path pretty early in the main storyline, it remains relevant throughout the game.
