15 Crit refill is a lot better than given credit for, With critical savvy max rank and a minimum of 22 luck you crit every second shot on full health characters!

[@SoloKyoto]

AGREE! My favorite roll is QE15 I have almost every ballistic weapon in the game with that roll and it makes any weapon 4x more fun to use. Although for a newish player I wouldn't recommend as it gets expensive with ammo cost and also using damage boosters such as mags and bobbleheads.

[@gurayyildiz475]

It is but it's pointless for bloodied users and there's a lot of us

[@seccosec]

Well if it hits half as hard so it's the same as a 50C every 4th shot.

[@PROCHIMNEY]

But what if 34-36 luck already then it’s kinda shit isn’t it

[@mucusofwanderhome6945]

100% people sleep on these

[@JamesSmith-fj4iu]

+50% chance to hit a target in vats is Soo underrated on inaccurate wepons at long range like the fixer

[@raphaelgurgel971]

Like the elders mark. Submachine gun is so innacurate I feel it. And handmade is less inaccurate than fixer.

[@jaysworld0007]

I love all fallout games. ✌️😁🧘‍♂️🐢😶‍🌫️

[@JamesSmith-fj4iu]

Yeah with the tru stock on the handmade you can get it to 82 with red dot pretty impressive

[@Itsyoboi489]

My q2525 fixer, my qe25 fixer, q50c25

[@brianrmc1963]

I think it is worth mentioning that “2-Shot” is the best for the Alien Blaster and Cryolator.

[@turdferguson2791]

Quad FFR Cryolator is better than 2-shot for using against the scb. For the Alien Blaster I like the AA , 50 crit, 15 crit fills faster with cryo mag. Alien Blaster is excellent in VATS. Also you can fire as fast as you can. It is a really fun weapon.

[@shadoink]

@@turdferguson2791The blaster is really fun! TS with the Cryo mag just shreds everything, still main a TS50c25 to this day!

[@whytheseaisboilinghot]

The Tesla two shot is king

[@Sean-MacGuire]

​@@whytheseaisboilinghotI feel like the two shot isn't good for pvp the quad is better imo

[@GhostStalker16]

Bash build? Wtf lol

[@VickieDStanton]

I would love to see a spreadsheet. You are so knowledgeable about FO76

[@BoooRadley]

RIP to all the auto melees that was scrapped because Bethesda didn't explain what a power attack is

[@Dissenchanted2124]

For real...I am soooooo glad I learned about the power attack mechanism for auto axes, when I rolled a Vamp +40% Power attack. I am invincible as long as I have repair kits!

[@frozentrishula3229]

imo for classic melee, 25less vats is also very good as a therd star, especialy if your using the legendary perks that deal area dmg.

[@BxBxProductions]

why

[@frozentrishula3229]

@@BxBxProductions lowers vats cost, let you land more hits in vats, let you jump from enemy to enemy without stoping to regen ap so often, which is very usfull in expeditions, dailyops and pve. Its just a very nice quality of life, and imo its better then the almost unnoticeable dmg buff from 1s.

[@Jim90117]

@@frozentrishula3229 I have a powerfist blood/swingspeed/1S and I also have the same again but 25less vats instead of the 1S and yeah for farming I definitely agree the 25% less vats is really helpful especially with being a fairly defensive player and having cards like dodgy.

[@CircleofNerds]

Great video as always, Turtle. But how about a little love for the bowhunters in the room? Bows hit incredibly hard and a good bow build will let you enjoy all content and even let you solo SQB and Earl. For Full Health Bows *Anti Armor or Instigating **50%Vats Hit Chance or 50% Crit Dmg ***15 Crit Refil For Bloody Bows *Bloody, Instigating, Anti Armor **50%Vats Hit Chance or 50% Crit Dmg ***-25 ap cost. Of course with bows you can carry around a few for different use cases. Turtle, please do a bow video for 2024. I’d be curious about your thoughts. There’s a very active FO76 bowhunter community on Reddit.

[@ioantudorspanu-dt4nv]

What about crossbows?

[@CircleofNerds]

@@ioantudorspanu-dt4nv unfortunately, crossbows aren’t great. They’re not bad, and you can use them while in power armor, but they’re very slow.

[@HetsiN]

90 percent weight reduction is almost always my favourite perk, it let's me keep so many weapons in my stash and that's always going to be appreciated

[@jannejot9026]

50% increased vats hit chance can be really good on launchers, especially using it in power armour with low perception

[@samuelnavarro8666]

Vampire has always been my favorite even with bloodied builds. Makes any build work

[@oldbadgui3351]

I need a vid for this but for armor. Power Armor and non-Power Armor

[@ddddsasawwfdwafaw]

second this

[@fivenotewonder]

Non power armour full health - overeaters is absolute king providing a full set gives 30% damage reduction (wayyyy better than any resistance like bolstering) with ap and weapon weight Bloodied - unyielding Power armour - overeaters, ap or fire resistance etc, and weapon weight Most important is just weapon weight tbh Or 1st stars can be any specific mix such as one piece of mutant slayers or troubleshooters

[@mattheadplus]

Late to the conversation, I didn't think 50% reduced fall damage would stack but it does, 2 pieces of armor with it makes you immune to fall damage

[@martinhelgesson1417]

Instigating faster fire rate Fixer or Handmade is better than you might think. Due to server not coping you usually get Instigating effect on first 2 shots, so a strong daily driver.

[@leonaldobrum]

Gotta test that...

[@jdlewis79uk]

Great video, thank you Turtle! Special mention for auto melee weapons: break 50% slower as a third star :)

[@Chris-driver]

I'm full health build and I don't tend to use VAT myself, so I prefer the 50% damage with 25% aim damage weapons. Now I'm over 30k caps, the aristocrats effect is my best friend.

[@taunph6118]

My go to for every weapon is Vampire, always. I roll a second for bosses. Daily use though, Vampire on everything except my stealth and explosive build. As always great video and very informative!

[@Surgeplus]

So if I have a Handmade rifle with Quad, +50% VATS hit chance, and -25% AP Cost, it would be a god roll? Because that's my daily driver on one character as it is.

[@hotdogsarepropaganda]

Next video can you do a brake down of best mods for each weapon updated to 2024? a side note I could listen to you explain stats for ever lol. if you do Magic the Gathering I would love if you did some videos on the fallout set coming out

[@Rorschach1998]

I've been collecting Aristocrat's Melee weapons like crazy, even the useless weapons will do good damage with that legendary effect.

[@lagoleer]

I actually prefer +25% damage while aiming because I am always aiming when fighting. It just seems like second nature to me across all my ranged weapons and I don't use VATS. It just isn't my preferred play style. My main weapon right now is a prime gatling plasma AA/+25 damage while aiming / with a throw away +1 agi on the third.

[@fivenotewonder]

If you want some amazing launchers; do the titan event for the grand finale, do mutated events for the two shot missile launcher and Fatman and if you were around a few seasons ago, the nuka launcher is a god roll auto grenade launcher. The great news is that apart from nuka launcher the other 3 weapons are tradeable and often found cheap in player vendors.

[@2muchofyou]

I don't get how people hit so hard with these guns. Mine do 38 damage at best for a Gatling laser

[@daddydizzy707]

​@2muchofyou gotta build your perks around the weapon your using

[@ryanfc]

For auto melee I would put Breaks Less somewhere on that third star column. Less time repairing means more consistent dps and they break so quickly.

[@hawkeye_pierce31]

It’s videos like this that make angry turtle the number 1 KZbinr I always turn to when I need honest, down to earth, informative advice or help when playing 76. I play on PS4 and the PlayStation consoles have been getting a horrendous amount of freeze screens and blue screens lately, i’m hoping they do something to fix this soon because it becomes very aggravating when you load into a server and you don’t even touch the controller, but because the wind blew the wrong way that ole blue screen pops up.

[@qubosgaming]

I still ask myself, what is better for maximum damage (as much damage brings one faster out of trouble) - bloodied, two shot or anti-armor? It would be great if you would make a comparison video with 3 of one same gun, each with one of these legendary effects and no additional perk cards.

[@GualtMoon]

why in vats weapon you don't consider 15% crt refill as a good perk in the 3 star, for me is even better with bloody weapon so i can reduce crit expert to 2 star and save a perk, and in my full life commando build with 34 luck it will help a lot to crit once very 2 shot.

[@AngryTurtle]

you could consider that but I rarely use it myself even on full hp builds I rather just use nuka dark for boss fights

[@baltonus1120]

Nice build but considering crit bar can be filled easily and Psychopath perk is a thing 3rd perk for me it would be better for dps the VATS 25% less AP. Tho in second for me would be crit like you mention

[@GualtMoon]

@@AngryTurtlethanks for the answer i didn't know about the nuka dark trick, thanks fto the comapny the i "remove" ap reffresh from my build and i just finish a or\1luck\sent scout armor, to reach 34 just with the camp buffs, so i don't need it, but it could be useful anyway.

[@GerardCarmonaRuiz]

antiarmor with automelee isn't one of the best 1st star effects? I would say it can play in a similar league along with bloodied too.

[@Genjustice92]

Incisor gives u 75% pen. Turtle says the cap is 90%. Is it really worth it?

[@GerardCarmonaRuiz]

@@Genjustice92 good point! maybe having both antiarmor and incisor make reach the maximum of 90% in case of doubt. It's all about how the formula behind antiarmor and incisor work together and how they combine with each other. If AA gives 50% armor penetration and incisor rank 3 75%, you won't be penetrating 125% of the armor but AA mod goes first in the formula (¿?), therefore incisor must complementing it with the 75% of the 40% left to reach 90% that is the specified limit. The formula must be a bit more complex but incisor with AA might be good travel companions after all.

[@Mr_King_l]

honestly Commando Instigating is really strong if you get 25 Weapon Speed, since the servers are prone to lag it allows it you prock more than once being enough to one cycle deathclaws with vats crits. Highly recommend if your a full health build that is normally doing mob fighting by yourself it pretty much is the full health bloodied. also of note if you don't get 25% AP Cost its best to run Automatic Barrel, Allinghed barrel, quick mag, forceful stock, reflex site on your weapons for AP economy you can get a Handmade down to 9 AP cost just by doing so.

[@yushoo6706]

Very helpful video. I wanted to use the cremator and fixer but I burn through so much ammo. So I’m just sticking to shotgun build for now.

[@nopealope4573]

I have an autoaxe with vampire/40%power attack/40%less damage, and I love it. Super powerful, and when you're attackong it helps you survive boss attacks

[@Sean-MacGuire]

Auto axe kills people really fast when engaging in pvp

[@mucusofwanderhome6945]

+15 vats crit charge is a great 3rd star +50 chance to hit in vats is a great 2nd star One of My fav weapon is a quad/+50 chance to hit/25 vats Even better : elders AA/explosive/+25 vats And I’ll take anything with explosive and +25 vats actually morso than the first star concern.

[@peterenis4752]

8:30 at the start I wasnt happy about that third star, but looks like this 15% faster reload for railway is rly good. So looks like I've got the "god roll"

[@AngryTurtle]

best boss killer

[@61hellfire]

I use aa on my auto axe with the 40% power attack dmg works very nice on bosses where bloodied falls a little short on bosses compared.

[@hoofhearted4]

I do love my Instigating Dragon. i wish there were ways to better define builds and really niche it. I'd love to make a custom Dragon build, but a Dragon build is just any other rifle build, which any other rifle is better. but nevertheless, it sure is fun to use.

[@Klausiancliff89]

I have hundreds of weapons but the one i used most is the ts grenade launcher . Even tho i love it and i do say it's the best effect i have a vampire ap refill one it's a great sideweapon for events like a colossal problem , i use the railway rifle and when i rin out of ap or low on health i just switch to the vamp launcher and heal back quickly. I mostly use the ts but if you get something like vamp ap refil and 90% reduced weight don't sleep on it , i'd say vamp if you use it as a side weapon and dont care that much about tagging everything or ts if you use mainly it ( i still pair it with a good weapon for bosses tho ts launchers are great at everything but killing bosses fast )

[@ChrisLoew]

What is the price I should pay or sell for one of these "perfect" weapon star 1,2,3 options?

[@Blastputin]

Another amazing video! Thank you! With the introduction of the Company Tea Machine and Birthday Cake, would love to see a breakdown video of what’s best between those, the coffee, and possibly other AP boosting items I’m not thinking of at the moment, I’m a bloody vampire chainsaw primarily.

[@Ryuji22]

I feel like people underestimate the VATS hit chance second star legendary. It makes shotguns and plasma casters SO nice to shoot with! I'd even take it on launchers when I do VATS with them if one rolls with it.

[@Dissenchanted2124]

No love for Aristocrat's? I rock an Aristo/Exp/15% FR Fixer to great effect. I also have a VE handmade I didn't realize was a top tier weapon

[@beastabuelos6421]

The thing I've always wondered about 2 shot on launchers, i know they get +100% damage from 2 shot, but do they also get the bonus 25% overall damage that ballistic and energy weapons get?

[@Notahandle.3]

Perfect timing on getting this out before scrip surplus! I'll be careful about getting rid of legendaries 😂😂😂

[@mick_hyde]

Easy, anything Vampires ☺️

[@joemeckley2017]

This is great thank you. Will you be posting this document to your discord?

[@TheBestNoahEver]

Where would the gamma gun fit in?

[@AngryTurtle]

I will put it in vats category

[@last2nkow]

Oh. Interesting. I picked up like 3x boomstick missile launchers from blood eagles randomly in the ash heap and according to this vid they are pretty great with 2 shot 25%while aiming and 90%reduced weight Ill have to give it a looksee

[@Mutantgamer]

I've wanted to focus on handmade rifle since the beginning and actually managed to roll an Anti armor explosive fast reload handmade. Doubt i'll ever find a better gun.

[@camap9235]

50% breaks slower for auto melee ?

[@c0smickilljoy533]

Thanks for this. I’ve been brainwashed into just using bloodied builds and sometimes, especially during daily ops, it hurts. So I’m looking to expand my builds and arsenal.

[@BillNyeTheBountyGuy]

I already know this is a dumb idea, but if you HAD to take a revolver what would be the ideal roll if you use VATS? I've been playing around with Fact Finder and while I do okay, I know there are un-starred weapons that outperform it.

[@ThePsijic]

I've been trying to find an Anti-Armor/ 25% Damage when Aiming Laser Rifle for a non Vats build. Unfortunately have had no luck lol, it can be hard finding off-meta guns, as I think many just scrip them if they don't get something more traditionally sold.

[@mouldygolem4493]

25% aim damage is better then 25 FFR on some Heavy guns like holy fire and weapons with Explosive built in

[@MrDancingpuppetmon]

This is an really helpful to track if you get any good drops in game really, feels safer now to scrap items to Scrips now

[@Itsyoboi489]

You can get vampire effect from tick blood margarita so that’s why I prefer anti armor

[@jacksonm4792]

Aristocrats is good as well, +50% damage at a certain level of caps. I'm usually at 40k so its no issue, my flamer does 207 per hit with heavy guns damage perks, I shred Wendigo colossuses

[@Lordborgoth666]

Got the god roll on the bloodied auto axe 40% power atk and 90% less weight.

[@CL3VA]

For the ranged weapons, heavy weapons specifically, is two shot/explosive not a good role for a weapon? Did it get nerfed within the last sum of patches, because years ago that was considered a really good role, if not the god role for LMG's, Gatling guns, and all of the sorts. Or was the roles for more general use, since two shot and explosive role isnt as versatile on most weapons.

[@mobgoblin7016]

So let’s say I have a junkie fixer with crit damage buff and the 25% less vats perk is that still a really good roll?

[@AngryTurtle]

yes assuming you are ok running 5 addictions

[@TheSealsMen]

[@AngryTurtle]

Yes it is

[@subsurface6778]

Thanks for the video AT. Is it true that Crit Damage on auto melee weapons is of little benefit? I hear mixed optnions.

[@AngryTurtle]

you need power attack as it provides best damage boost, everything else is a waste

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

For 90% of the casual mobs in this game none of these legendary effects really give a noticeable difference if your built is set up properly. However on bosses it becomes very noticeable.

[@Ima184mm]

My fixer is Anti-armor, VATS accuracy +50%

[@mmmotorboat]

Great video turtle! Question… why is anti armor not as good on melee weapons?

[@chefbreccia2642]

If I had to guess, Incisor. It lets you bypass 75% armor. The mathematical effect of AA on top of that is significantly reduced.

[@thirtysums]

what guns are for vats and what ones arent? im tryna sort thru my stash and its full of weapons i dont understand

[@hector-tp3pv]

You probably figured it out but if you haven’t commando weapons pistols rifles are for vats, vats on heavy’s and explosive weapons are useless

[@ddddsasawwfdwafaw]

I have a b2525 fixer and handmade it’s definitely not ideal. for bosses id rather have quad in the first star or +50% crit in the second star. I do really like the -25% ap cost I never run out and I can be in vats constantly.

[@ddddsasawwfdwafaw]

I honestly don’t understand why the fixer or handmade are put on the pedistool that they are. They get outperformed by others guns in boss fights by a long shot.

Nice video, wish that Junkie effect (and others) were as good as the one you said in your video

[@VulMori]

It's funny seeing so many videos or lists that don't have junkies in it. Might just be people not wanting to deal with losing out on special. I'm typically a melee junkies build and have my chems set up to the point that the only thing not being affected is my strength. Back when Bloodied was the huge meta to go with and it in some way, still is, I went with junkies. I could care less about having almost near death health just to have 95% damage. What people don't understand is there really ain't anything hard to kill with any weapon prefix you get, so anything is viable. Just don't see the dislike for junkies all of a sudden lol.

[@adelindumitru5490]

If i have a quad rail with explosible and 15 reload speed. I can change it for a quad crt app fixer?
