Ngl my most powerful weapon rn is one i got off a scorched queen. Level 20 black powder legendary that has vampire, juggernaut, and extra projectile. Pair that with a 60% chance to get waaaay more ammo than i put into the bodies of my foes, and my sigma grindset for caps is now killing anything that moves and harvesting .50 balls to sell for cheap. Just sold 2k worth to some maniac in a civil war dress. I do 287 damage every time i fire. I blow anything i look at away, including one-shotting fucking over level supermutants

[@knightsurda]

technically they also had revolvers but those were officer weapons not conscript weapons, there were also lever action rifles created that saw use in the civil war albeit in smaller quantities compared to black powder. Seems even back then people were averse to newer technology, even if it made their lives easier lol. There are tons of weapons that 'might' be in 76 that could fit those roles so that you aren't limited in weaponry. I haven't loaded up 76 in awhile so I don't know whats there.

I've personally never played Falout 76, but if there are any missle-based weapons, they could've been used as there were missles during the Civil War, such as the Hayden missle, used for shooting lines to sinking ships. There was also a myth of a two-stage, twelve foot long rocket sent from Richmond, Virginia, almost 120 miles to Wahington DC. But as I said, that was just a myth.

Next I think you should try a hunter build Your weapons would be limites to the hunting and lever-action rifle, double and pump shotguns, and the most exciting part, all the bows (I'm kinda 50/50 on the crossbow). Maybe the harpoon gun should count too but thats starting to feel like a stretch. The melees are just the usual knifes and the like. For apparel, since it's a hunter build almost any should do, although I think you should try and get the deathclaw hunter outfit specifically bc it looks the part (headpiece optional). Anyways good luck on your next challenge whatever it may be and best wishes for your channel 👍

My first and main character had used black powder weapons since beginning of the game as well had used both against PvP and PvE. Able to shot everything before nerfs to two shot and explosive before the damage cap to PvP I would greatly part take in PvP after I could not one shot players no more and stealth boys being the main reason I stop pvp. Over time I collect a lot of rifles many being legacy like a two shot explosive the dragon with 400 range. And after the explosive change making weapons deal 3% weapons before the patch my rifles had now deal 20% meaning many rifles I have now are also legacy's. I does not look much but example would be 315 normal damage but with 20% it deals 416 with max explosives.

I never got the level up system for weapons in fallout 76, yeah it’s fun to work your way up to being the strongest, but what is stopping you from picking up a bolt action and using it? Also I’m personally in the 500 levels and I’ve literally worked my ass off to get the best of the best shit and Bethesda still won’t up the damage on the higher level weapons, so it still takes over a 1000 rounds of 2mm bloodied mini rail gun (top strongest enemy killing weapon) to take down scorch beast queen like comeeeee onnnnnnn 😂 And let’s not even mention it takes over 1000 plasma cartridges with the enclave flamer, with the best legendaries (I have 4 different variants and tested them all to extreme extents) to kill the same scorch beast Queen. With that hard of a weapon to get, it should only take one mag, 300 plasma rounds to kill, not three… smh why is Bethesda always sucking

[@blitzbyte97]

I personally think that having some nerfs is necessary to keep the game fun. I mean, if I can kill the Scorch Beast Queen by myself in one go, it's not really a fun challenge anymore. That being said, I agree that higher leveled players should get better damage. Especially if you're over level 100.
