Fallout 4 Far Harbor: The Striker

A Fat Man that Launches Bowling Balls!

Where to find the bowling ball launcher in Fallout 4 Far Harbor Head here on the map and go inside to find The Striker, a unique Fat Man that fires Modified Bowling Balls.

Inside Beaver Creek Lanes, a location on the Island you travel to in Fallout 4 Far Harbor, there is an easily-accessible unique weapon many players will enjoy testing out and may even find great use for: The Striker

Finding secret weapons in the Fallout 4 Far Harbor DLC In the employee's office, you'll find the weapon, a safe, ammunition for it and a terminal that teaches you to make more ammo.

Head inside this ghoul-infested bowling alley, and look dead ahead for the employees only door. Unlock it (novice) and follow the path to easily find The Striker behind a door up some stairs. In this same room are modified bowling balls that the Striker uses as ammunition. Read the terminal in the same room to unlock the safe, as well as learn the recipe to make Modified Bowling Balls at chemistry stations. You'll find about 4 of the balls around The Striker.

Find more bowling balls for The Striker Grab every regular ball you can find in the Beaver Creek Lanes (There are about 7 in total)

Before you leave, know that you can search at the beginning of each lane to find about 6 extra bowling balls, as well as one on a ball return. This gives you 11. You can't craft bowling balls, but you can turn any you find into ammo.

The Striker is a Fat Man with a Unique Weapon Mod The Striker has a 50% chance to cripple a target's legs. The bowling ball launcher mod can be changed out.

About The Striker
Shots fired by The Striker will result in the bowling ball being recoverable. You can collect them after the battle and get most of your stock back. If you want even more bowling balls, you can find them (and they'll occasionally respawn) both at Beaver Creek Lanes and at the bowling alley in General Atomics Galleria back at the Commonwealth. You cannot use normal bowling balls as ammo, and converting them to modified balls will reduce their weight to 0 (1 on Survival).

In the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4, you can learn to turn regular Bowling Balls into ammunition for The Striker Before you leave, check the terminal for the ammo recipe. This lets you turn normal Bowling Balls into Modified Bowling Balls at any Chemistry station, under the Utility category.

Firing Bowling Balls is a Special Weapon Mod
The Striker's main special is to cripple legs at a 50% rate. You can remove the bowling-ball launcher mod by crafting a standard mod on it, keep the bowling ball launcher mod and place it on a two-shot Fat Man and get extra ammo every time you fire. You may also have a Fat Man with another preferable legendary effect and can switch it out to use bowling balls as ammo.

This is just one of the many little secrets of the Far Harbor DLC.
