The Cryolator is one of the first heavyweight weapons you will come through as you start your journey in Fallout 4. The protagonist will come across this weapon even before it endeavors into the wasteland right inside Vault 111.
About The Cryolator
Imagine a weapon that shoots ice instead of fire – well, that's the Cryolator for you. The overseer of Vault 111 created this cool gadget using materials found within the vault. The Cryolator is a freeze spray that temporarily turns most enemies into ice. Some enemies may need more exposure to be affected.However, it has a downside – it uses cryo cells as ammo, and they can be scarce. To make the most of the Cryolator, consider perks like Bloody Mess, Demolition Expert, and Heavy Gunner. Also, reading Astoundingly Awesome Tales 5 gives you a 5% damage boost with the Cryolator.
Cryolator Modifications
The Cryolator only comes with a handful of modifications, so there’s not a lot of room for improvement here. Here are all the modifications you can make:Barrel: You can upgrade the stock barrel to a crystalizing barrel for improved damage, higher accuracy, and range.
Stock: The standard stock can be upgraded to a recoil-compensating stock for better accuracy.
Sights: The stock sight can have improved accuracy thanks to a glow sight.
Adhesive, plastic, steel, and screw are some of the components you will need to upgrade the parts of the Cryolator in Fallout 4.

How To Get The Cryolator
As mentioned before, you'll spot the Cryolator early in the game, but you can't grab it right away. To unlock the case holding the Cryolator, you need a master lockpicking skill.

Second Method
The second method will help you get the Cryolator earlier than if you follow the first method:-Make sure Dogmeat is available to be your companion

-Head to Vault 111 with Dogmeat alongside you
-Trade and give Dogmeat a bobby pin
-Make your way to the front of the Cryolator
