Fallout 4was the first game in theFalloutfranchise to introduce the Junk Jet weapon, which as the name implies, is a weapon that uses miscellaneous objects for ammunition. The Junk Jet returned later in the mobile game,Fallout Shelter, but it hasn’t made it into any of the otherFalloutgames since then. Fans are still holding out hope that the Junk Jet will make an appearance again in the franchise, particularly inFallout 76.
Fans in the community have been asking for the Junk Jet to come toFallout 76ever since the game was released back in 2018. While the demands to revive the Junk Jet inFallout 76have been going on for a while, some of the game’s recent developments would take the gun to the next level. With this in mind, fans will likely continue to wish this into reality until it finally happens.

Fallout 76 is the Perfect Sandbox for Fallout 4’s Junk Jet
Most games in theFalloutfranchise already have the necessities to provide a fun environment for the Junk Jet, though some of the features exclusive toFallout 76could be especially good for the gun. There are still a couple more years ofcontinued support forFallout 76, so a revival of the Junk Jet is still a possibility.
Despite the constraints thatFallout 76adds to the franchise as a multiplayer game in a family of primarily single-player games, it also has plenty of benefits that balance out the experience. Some of the features unique to theFallout 1st premium subscriptionforFallout 76might be what it needs to make the Junk Jet truly shine. Outside the benefits provided by Fallout 1st, plenty of other existing features inFallout 76would also be highly beneficial for the gun.
Not only is it easy to store a surplus of junk inFallout 76’s personal stash containers, but there are also benefits to actively carrying junk in the player’s inventory. So as long as players are in possession of junk, which is ammo for the Junk Jet, certain perks inFallout 76passively grant some defensive benefits to players. These perks that increase a player’s damage resistances when carrying junk would make the Junk Jet a strong part of thebest builds inFallout 76. At the same time, the Junk Jet would presumably classify as a heavy weapon inFallout 76with plenty of offensive perks from that category to benefit from as well. With all of these defensive and offensive perks combined, the Junk Jet could prove to be one of the best weapons inFallout 76, if it ever arrives.
Of all things thatFallout 76could offer the Junk Jet, the legendary crafting system might be the best thing for the gun to thrive.Fallout 76allows players to turn nearly every standard weapon into a legendary weapon with up to three unique effects. Players can keep re-rolling the effects of legendary weapons until getting the desired legendary effects. With the right combination oflegendary weapon effects inFallout 76, the Junk Jet could be a devastating weapon.
Fallout 76is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
