Some entries state take X of the following

For example an Autarch says take any two of the following.

Now my question is; can you take two of the SAME item

For example two fusion guns, or two power weapons?

Take any two from (list).
If you take 2 power weapons didn't you take 2 from that list?

Worth noting that 2 power weapons is about the only valid choice for duplication, 2 fusion guns won't gain you anything (you can't fire them both).

Yes, you can do this. Items that are "one-only" are specifically marked as such - the only items I can think of like this are the special wargear/relic options that the new Codexes have been getting.

Quanar - I may be teaching you to suck eggs here but there is use in taking two pistols as well, thanks to Gunslinger, though I'm not sure if an Autarch has that option. Taking two power weapons is also a waste if a standard CCW is already an option, unless you're taking two different types...

The example in the OP was an Autarch, who starts with a pistol and can't pick up another. And I did mean picking different types for the two power weapons, I should really have said that but couldn't work out how to phrase it. Nonetheless, thank you for posting that, as it may be relevant for other people looking at similar non-Autarch options.
