From specialized weapons to some of the best armor sets in the game, players should be aware of some of these missable items to gain as much as possible from exploring the theme park. The following items are among the best available throughout the DLC.

1 Acid Soaker

A Modified Pistol Dealing Extreme Corrosive Damage

Location: Nuka-Cade

The Acid Soaker is a unique weapon that shoots out corrosive acid in the same way that the Thirst Zapper shoots water. While not especially powerful in terms of shot-per-shot output, the real power of this weapon lies in steadily weakening enemies through prolonged poison.

This special gun can be acquired from the Nuka-Cade, near the Fizztop Grill in the center of the park. To purchase it, players will need to have gathered 6,000 Nuka-Cade tickets, which can be found as random loot throughout Nuka World.

2 Fragmentation Grenade MIRV

A Specialist Grenade With A Huge Area Of Effect

Location: Faction Leaders

Fragmentation Grenade MIRVs are one of the best-thrown weapons in the game, bursting into a shower of smaller grenades and causing havoc to large groups of enemies. This handy weapon should not be missed when venturing through Nuka World, and may even be useful for fending off the swarms of robots that prowl the theme park.

While powerful, MIRVs are also very rare. There are only three possible places to acquire these grenades throughout the DLC, and those are the dead bodies of each of the faction's leaders. To obtain them, players will need to eliminate the leaders or steal from them.

3 Throatslicer

A Highly Valuable And Effective Short Blade

Location: Nuka-Town Market

The Throatsliver is a unique knife that can be found in Nuka World, and it has the special ability to make opponents bleed and an additional +25 Damage points when struck by it. For a short knife, it is certainly a high-tier melee weapon and can be further enhanced with various upgrades such as a Serrated Hacking Blade.

The Throatslicer also has an exceptionally high value for such a small weapon at 3,420 caps, so even for non-melee builds, it can be worth obtaining it to sell it elsewhere. It can be purchased from Katelyn Alden in the Nuka-Town Market.

4 Nuka-Girl Rocketsuit

An Iconic Piece Of Memorabilia With Some Practical Advantages

Along with the Vault Boy and Vault Girl, the Nuka Cola Girl is another iconic brand mascot in the Fallout universe, and where better to get her suit than from Nuka World? The suit can be equipped by both genders and can also be applied to companions and mannequins too.

To find the Nuka Girl Rocketsuit, head to the Nuka Galaxy ride in the Galactic Zone. Here, a mannequin can be found riding a rocket and the suit can be taken from it. The suit will grant +1 Charisma as well as the ability to breathe underwater and resist small-to-medium amounts of radiation.

5 Gage's Armor

A Solid Armor Set Which Comes At A Brutal Cost

Location: Fizztop Grille

Porter Gage is a possible companion in the Nuka World DLC and helps the player to become the Overboss when they first enter the territory. Gage has a unique armor set that can be acquired either by killing him or trading when he is a companion.

6 Splattercannon

A Highly Customizable Assault Rifle Based On A Kalashnikov

Location: Nuka-Town Market

The Splattercannon is a powerful unique rifle that is especially useful for its vast range of modifications. Every part of the gun can be changed in one way or another, from lighter grips and slimmer stocks to night-vision sights and drum magazines.

The gun can be bought from Aaron Corbett in the Nuka-Town Market, or alternatively, a unique variant called The Problem Solver can be unlocked by talking to the leader of The Pack, Mason. This will only be possible during the mission "An Ambitious Plan," following a series of successful speech checks.

7 Hub's Alien Blaster

A Modified Blaster With Increased Damage And Critical Hits

Location: Hubologists Camp

Hub's Alien Blaster is a special variation of the standard Alien Blaster, which uses special ammunition and causes energy weapon damage. On top of its solid base stats, Hub's Alien Blaster also causes Critical Hits to do double damage and refills the Critical Hit meter at a 15% faster rate.

8 Quantum X-01 Power Armor

This Rare Power Armor Boasts Some Of The Strongest Stats In The Game

Location: Starport Nuka Building

The Quantum X-01 Power Armor is a unique, legendary power armor set with boosted statistics and improved Action Point regeneration. In addition to a whopping 1,700 Damage Resistance (standard X-01s are 1,220), it also has 1,270 Energy Resistance and 1,050 Radiation Resistance, making it one of the strongest armor sets in the entire game.

To unlock the Quantum X-01, players will need to repair the Mainframe in the Starport Nuka building, which is part of the quest "Star Control." To do this, it will first be necessary to collect all 35 Star Cores in the Galactic Zone.

9 Nuka-Nuke Launcher

A Modified Fat Man With A Nuka Cola Theme

Location: Bradberton's Office

The Fat Man is an ideal weapon when things get desperate. Whether faced with an overwhelming swarm of Gunners or a Super Mutant Behemoth, the Fat Man will launch a mini-nuke, causing unmatchable damage and havoc wherever it is fired.

The Nuka-Nuke Launcher does considerably more damage than a standard, unmodified Fat Man, making it ideal for taking down higher-level enemies.

10 Aeternus

A Powerful Variation Of The Gatling Laser With Unlimited Ammo Capacity

Location: Rogue Knight's Body

The Gatling Laser is one of the most powerful weapon types in the Fallout universe, and the Aeternus takes it to another level. In addition to its unlimited ammo capacity, it also does nearly double the damage of an ordinary Gatling Laser, and this can be enhanced even further with perks focused on energy weapons.

To obtain Aeternus, players will need to complete the mission "Amoral Combat" in which various challengers will attempt to run the gauntlet. The enemy named Rogue Knight in the Brotherhood of Steel armor is the one who carries this weapon.
