The Gauss shotgun plan in Fallout 76 isn’t obtainable by finding it in the game world. You can acquire it by crafting it at a weapons workbench. Here’s what you need to do:
- Learn the Gauss shotgun plan: This plan can be purchased for Gold Bullion from Minerva, a traveling vendor who appears at Crater or Fort Atlas every week. Her inventory rotates so you might need to wait a bit for her to sell the plan.
- Gather the crafting materials: Once you have the plan, you’ll need to collect the materials required to craft the Gauss shotgun. These materials typically include steel, screws, circuitry, and other common components.
- Craft the Gauss shotgun: Head to a weapons workbench and craft the shotgun using the plan and the required materials. Since it’s a legendary weapon, it will automatically be a one-star, two-star, or three-star legendary variant with random legendary effects.
