How to get the gauss shotgun in Fallout 76

The Gauss Shotgun is a heavy-hitting weapon that uses electromagnetic coils to propel shotgun shells out at an incredible speed and a powerful force. It has an extremely high fire rate and can be used to take down enemies in no time. The Gauss Shotgun is one of the best weapons in Fallout 76, so it’s worth the effort to acquire it.

The first step to getting the Gauss Shotgun is to farm Settler reputation points after completing the Wastelanders’ quest line. Earning Settler rep is quite simple - all that is required is the completion of missions for them each day. Reaching the Ally rank allows you to purchase the Guass Shotgun’s plans from Samuel, who stands by the sign in the back of Foundation, for 500 Gold Bullion.

Once you’ve got the plans, you’ll need to gather the components to build the Gauss Shotgun. The components you’ll need are 14 Aluminum, 6 Circuitry and 2 Legendary Motors. You’ll also need to find a Weapons Workbench, which can be found in any of the C.A.M.P.s scattered around the wasteland. With these components, you’ll be able to construct the Gauss Shotgun and start wreaking havoc in the wasteland.
