Where to get energy weapons in fallout 76

Just fought a shit ton of mutants near the top of the world and the weakest ones were lvl 16. The lvl 22 mutants dropped a ton of laser rifles all of them fully modded. The stronger ones had missile launchers. I guess that it depends on the level of the enemies and your level too.

Im level 24 btw

What weapons are energy weapons?

A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel, missiles, vehicles, and optical devices.

Are energy weapons better than kinetic weapons?

Against shielded enemies, energy weapons do approximately 2.8 times more base damage than kinetic weapons. (This happens to be about the same difference as between a critical hit, like a headshot, and a body shot.)
