In this Fallout 76 Weapons guide, we are going to list down a few Rare Weapons and where you can find them. The locations we have mentioned below are static spawn location i.e. every time you will go to these locations you will find something, and most of the time, it will be the weapon we have listed. Don’t panic if you don’t find anything because there might be a possibility that somebody else has looted the location. In this case, what you can do visit the place after 25-30 minutes, a couple of times and you will find the loot you are looking for. This 25-30 minute is the approximate time for the loot to reset and respawn.
