Ashmaker Location and where to find in Fallout 4:

How to Get Ashmaker in Fallout 4
To get Ashmaker in Fallout 4, you need to find Bobbi in Goodneighbor, agree to help her out, accept The Big Dig quest, and reach the confrontation at the end with Fahrenheit. Goodneighbor is found to the northeast of Diamond City Market.
You’ll have to choose the final dialogue with Fahrenheit, but you can get Ashmaker regardless of your choice. If you side with Fahrenheit against Bobbi, then she will reward you with Ashmaker; however, if you choose to side with Bobbi, it will lead to a fight with Fahrenheit. Kill her (ensure she has Ashmaker equipped first), and you can loot Ashmaker afterward.

How to use Ashmaker
In Fallout 4, Ashmaker is a unique heavy weapon that deals base physical damage and also has a unique effect that sets targets on fire and deals +15 fire damage over 3 seconds. However, the extra fire damage does not stack. This means that if you fire the Ashmaker at a target already on fire, the timed duration merely resets. This weapon will benefit from the Bloody Mess and Heavy Gunner perks, and is a fun weapon to use with a Power Armor build.
Furthermore, you should be aware that the required ammo for this weapon is not readily available, especially in the early game. Merchants will typically not start stocking the 5mm rounds until you have reached level 24.
The Ashmaker works best when used in scenarios facing many low-level enemies. Unarmored targets such as roving animals and feral ghouls are particularly susceptible to fire damage.
