Homer Thompson Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have an embarrasing numbe rof mini nukes actually, never get round to using them. Hoping to splurge on the last couple of missions which I assume will have a few climactic battles in them. I find the automatic weapons are useless, even upgraded the minigun is far more trouble than it's worth. The Broadsider is good fun though and hoping to get the Railway rifle from Desdemona after I've completed the Randolph safehouse missions. Didn't think much of the JunkJet (and anyway, I need that junk), so I don't think there is too much value in the heavy weapons once the rifles start getting well upgraded either. Yeah, I agree on the automatic weapons. I think Ive used Ashmaker once, and that was on a BOS retrieval mission where you enter a building and theres about 6 super mutants who appear from all sides. I underestimated my weapons actually. Ive got a combat rifle, shotgun and Righteous Authority all up around the 100 damage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems to be looping around the same conversations but in different places Yeah, they're infinite or "radiant" or whatever you want to call it, same as the BoS quests where you have to take some squire or scribe out and clear out an area. The squire can't be killed because he's a child but the scribe can, not a tremendously difficult choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Easy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just been to the glowing sea, Hazmat suit kept the rads under control, bitched a few death claws also. At around level 40, my special two shot hunting rifle leading the charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Been doing mostly Minutemen missions amongst others lately. Went back to BoS just now and at Boston airport. Is there going to be any conflict of interest between the two later on or is it worth just finding out for myself? Also, all this talk of people with pretty awesome weapons, do I need to level up a lot to get these or is it just pot luck finding them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there going to be any conflict of interest between the two later on or is it worth just finding out for myself? Also, all this talk of people with pretty awesome weapons, do I need to level up a lot to get these or is it just pot luck finding them? First point, probably best to find out for yourself but if you'd rather know in advance: There can be, depends how you play it. My playthrough they were fine but I know a mission exists where the BoS try and attack the minutemen once the Insitute is taken care of. I think as long as you don't piss off the BoS by attacking them at any point or looking like you're ever going to side with the Institue before switching back to one of the other parties then they don't attack you back Second point Best weapons I've found have all been off legendary enemies or rewards for completing quests. Either that or you can use gun nut perks and rifleman / pistol / automatic damage perks to make existing ones better. My shotgun now does 135-ish damage and rifle 102 with a 50% mirelurk damage built in, I'm at level 43 with the 4* rifleman perk and will get to 5* once I hit level 46 and it unlocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Mongo del Fantastico Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Full rifleman and sniper perks, plus a fully modded gauss rifle with scout scope and it was doing around 400-500 damage if I remember rightly. It's a right bad b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What's everybody's favourite legendary weapon effect? I've had a two-shot combat rifle for ages, and it tears through everything. I've just found another two-shot item (some kind of shotgun, I think; haven't checked), but I think I'd swap pretty much every weapon I have for a two-shot variant of the same. Two-shot gauss gun...*drools*...that's the dream. Although someone did find this, apparently... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I've a Two Shot Shotgun, Freezing 10mm and a Violent Pipe Pistol. I love them all for differing reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlue62 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Where do I get a never ending gun? Anyone else on the Prydwn (sp?) yet? It's pretty awesome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Where do I get a never ending gun? Anyone else on the Prydwn (sp?) yet? It's pretty awesome! Some of the traders probably have them, but your best bet is to find them on Legendary enemies, who're guaranteed to have a Legendary item of some sort on their personage. Apparently you find more Legendary enemies on higher difficulty levels, and I must admit that I'm always running into them on Survival. Never-Ending isn't that big a deal anyway, as there's a crapton of ammo scattered about the Commonwealth. Would definitely be good for a Fat Man, possibly a Missile Launcher, maybe a gun that uses .50 caliber bullets, but you can keep anything else supplied with ammo easy enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Where is everyone finding ammo for the Gauss rifle? Cant find any of the 2mm rounds absolutely anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Where is everyone finding ammo for the Gauss rifle? Cant find any of the 2mm rounds absolutely anywhere. I didn't find any at all until well into the game - probably Level 20 or something like that. I remember picking some up and wondering what it was for. Started finding them now and then after that, and they've been everywhere since I found the gun itself. It's possible that they're still fairly scarce, as I only use it on Super Mutants (50% bonus to damage - woohoo!). Edit: just checked, and I've got 484 of the 2mm electromagnetic cartridges at Level 67; used less than 50 in all, I'd say. More than 13,000 .38 slugs Edited January 13, 2016 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the two shot combat rifle too I've got a poisoner sniper rifle too, but didnt really see much affect with that. ETA - I've got a bit further in the main mission and the games opened up quite a bit Just been into the Institute. Guessed the plot twist, although not straight away. So, I now have missions for all the different factions on the go. I take it that wont last forever and I'll have to choose at some point?

The poisoned stuff is pish - tiny wee amount of damage taken off over time. Useless outside of the early game. Although it did lead to one slightly amusing situation where a Super Mutant was surviving on fumes and decided to make a run for it. Before I could shoot him in the back (like a true hero), he shrieked and flopped to the floor in the kind of high camp manner you don't often see outside of a Carry On film. Left his corpse doing the splits and casually leaning against a tree like he was enjoying a warm down drink after ballet class 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
