How to Get the Best Melee Weapon in Jagged Alliance 3
“The Thing” is the best melee weapon that you get by completing the Boss Blaubert quest. Here you have to free his right-hand man Luigi from the prison. This is how you go about this questline:
- Go to Rimville in sector I9 and talk to Boss Blaubert. It is located south of Fleatown.
- You have to gain his trust first in order to get missions from him. One way to do that is using Lalee Leewaylender.
- He will ask you to break out Luigi from the Prison. This is located in Sector L6.
- Get to the Prison and defeat the enemies to make your way to the Warden. Try using stealth kills as they are quite effective here.
- Now you have two options here, you can either Kill the Warden or talk and get him to bring Luigi to you.
- Talking is the better option as it will help you avoid any unnecessary fights and will get Luigi to you faster.
- Else, if that doesn’t work out then kill him for a chance to get the AA12 shotgun. Do note that while this gun may be tempting, this path will make you fight more enemies underground.
- Free Luigi and his bodyguard, and they will head over to kill Blaubert.
- Optional step – You can stay and free the innocent prisoners before going back to earn some loyalty points.
- Go back and there will be a fight between Blaubert and Luigi.
- Pick Blaubert’s side and kill Luigi and his bodyguard to get The Thing as your reward.
