Disappointing how the institute weapons are meant to be extremely high-tech, yet are the weakest laser weapons in the game

[@kaapa15]

Me too but they're so common in the game I think they didn't want it to be to overpowered.

[@12171010011010]

kaapa15 i would have preferred if they weren't so similar to normal laser guns. Instead of being weak throughout the game, they could actually be useful. For example when i first saw them before i played the game i assumed that institute weapons worked like tasers, which allow you to stun an enemy then switch weapons and finish them.

[@TheKittenCrusader]

[phone] well i mean... Would you give a disposable tin robot a good gun?

[@lowwattliving]

I felt the same way. They also look brand new out of a box and the standard laser weapons look like they have really been around for 200 years.

[@12171010011010]

Kitten Crusader how exactly are they disposable?

[@kegrun]

Worst thing about the junk gun....I need my junk to make my settlements!

[@lowwattliving]

You are so right.

[@maruunson]

+kegrun well you can set aside junks that you dont need, cuz practically you wont berunning out of ammo cuz u can pick those junks again after firing them at your enemy

[@darksidelead]

+Blitz Kaiser use prewar money

[@TheMrSeagull]

+kegrun How about empty bottles? They're everywhere, and glass isn't used much in crafting.

[@Terrible_name]

+kegrun Use steel... If you scrap things into steel you have a LOT of it that you will never use, and it's extremely abundant

[@clocksnscotch]

Pro tip: You can command dogmeat to get the cryolator for you. Just ask him if theres any items nearby when you are next to the weapon and he will fetch it for you. Im loving mine :)

[@hawkman8876]

and one more bonus exploit is, if you are on fallout 4 VR you can just reach past the case and grab the cryolater

[@willardlau7047]

Vr, Why it's 2015, Vr wasn't released yet.😏

[@SenkaBandit]

willard Lau ok

[@pieter5052]

2021 it's patch more can you sent dogmeat to get it

[@alexwells7170]

So I found a flamer with a legendary effect of 10 cryo damage per shot... It's called the Freezing Flamer... Bethesda plz...

"the Fatman is back, and the mini-nuke ammo is as scarce as ever" i call bullshit, loot respawns in certain enemy occupied places not to mention supermutant suiciders drop a mini-nuke if you kill them before they explode, they're quite easy to obtain now.

[@deadwing7051]

To think I've been shooting those suiciders in the arm all this time...

[@SigShooter9mm]

+Ominous Spudd Same. lol

[@fronk8223]

+Ominous Spudd shoot in head if it's far enough. Shoot in arm if you are low on ammo and the kamikaze is surrounded by other green beans or if he's too close.

[@r0ckslide375]

+TheKeilanm Yes, and thank god they are! I spent AT LEAST 12 game time hours in New Vegas farming the boomers in Nellis with the Fat Man and MIni Nukes (because they respawn with them every three days), and I still didn't have enough to satisfy my needs for blowing things up. In Fallout 4, the supermutant suiciders carry them now like you said, so I just constantly farm them for mini nukes. Best thing ever is shooting MIRV nukes with the Big Boy. No range, but fun to kill deathclaws with in the glowing sea.

[@kiran5964]

My damn dog goes up to suiciders and bites their arm after I cripple both the legs to kill them. Fucking dogmeat tho.

It was so much better in Lonesome Road

[@RenegadeArms09]

The better have a huge "Gunrunners Arsenal" style dlc at some point, cuz this weapon selection is a bit...lacking.

[@footloosebear4898]

Gunners arsenal lol

[@WinstonKillDeath]

+Tyson Sorvig The mods are great but I wish there were more base guns.

[@slipper329]

yh they better mods are cool but a serious lack of standard variety I'm struggling to figure out the 50 base weapons actually are

[@RenegadeArms09]

Winston_KillDeath I agree. Mods are great and all, but I won't rely on them to get the weapons that, I feel, are missing from the game.

[@johnbutler7233]

Anyone else think that that the Assault rifle looks like the offspring of an M249 SAW and a Lewis Gun?

[@MMP-1119]

John Butler Lewis gun

[@johnbutler7233]

[@jaydenpogson2827]

John Butler k

[@thetrashman5381]

[@kiiwikiori7542]

John Butler There was one weapon in Origins (Black Ops 2 zombies) that looked a lot like it, in my opinion.

[@lavaleader3455]

[@lovessleep4924]

you can buy cannon balls and cryogenic cells at most merchants

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

or bring up the players best friend the console and look for them .

[@pieter5052]

Cryogenic ammo you can get ,if you get that stations, where you can hack a robot to come a life.....police , medic, or fire ,choose fire always kill it ,you get cryogenic ammo from it.

[@ItsTyTheNinjaGuy101]

Maybe it's just because we were spoiled in New Vegas, but I wish there was a bit more variety with the weapons we have to choose from in Fallout 4. I know it's probably harder to do now that they have to make attachments with them now, but I'm kind of sad the combat rifle and assault rifle are the only assault rifle-type weapon choices, for example, and I really don't like the aesthetics of the fo4 assault rifle. I wish we could've gotten maybe the Service rifle and/or the Chinese rifle to add a bit more variety. The same thing goes for other classes of weapons. But hey, maybe we'll see them in a dlc.

[@YeeHawkk]

Apparently someone found the chinese assault rifle model in the fallout 4 files, so I got a feeling we are probably going to be getting it in the future.

[@ItsTyTheNinjaGuy101]

TheYeeHawk Yeah it was cut from the base game before launch sadly. It and the service rifle were my go-to weapons in Fallout 3 and New Vegas respectively. I'd love to see them both come back.

[@nukesrus2663]

I only have 5 cryo cells left... Help... Also I have an automatic institute rifle...

[@kingjonstarkgeryan8573]

To be honest I am surprised there are not many real world guns other than the Chinese assault rifle (ak-47 I don't know why they just don't call it ak-47), Gatlin gun, 44. magnum, and double barreled shotgun. I would at least expect a M -16, Colt 1911, Bretta M9, Remington 870, 357. magnum, or M1 Grand.

[@ItsTyTheNinjaGuy101]

+King Jon Starkgeryan Because they don't want to bring anything that feels too far from the games setting and art style. The latest we'll see real world weapons come from in the base game is the 1960s.

[@FOertel]

In which World a Gauss-Rifle is a "Energy-Weapon"? The Projectile it fires is clearly a ballistic projectile, and every wapon use any kind of "Energy" to fire its projectiles, so that cant be the point...

[@michaelwatkins7809]

Its more like a rail gun

[@xxXthekevXxx]

Michael Watkins gauss is a rail gun.

[@FOertel]

@Ferocious Battle That IS a conventional projectile tho, the material may be different, but there are different materials for the projectiles of normal guns out there too, it is a piece of metal, accelerated to hit a target, the only difference is how the acceleration is archieved. End result stays the same, a piece of metal hitting a target, clearly a kinetic weapon in real life terms ^^

you can find a railway rifle in Johns scrapyard

Yes

Thanks

[@gaiusjuliuspleaser]

I've got a Two-Shot Gauss rifle with all the trimmings. Best sniper rifle in the game by far. With a proper VATS sniper build, this one-shots almost anything including Ancient Behemoths and Mythic Deathclaws.

[@nikond-vp9wt]

Sacha Daenens how do you build a 🔫

[@KILLRXNOEVIRUS]

Sacha Daenens ya uh just hand me a 5mm gun and I can kill those in 10 seconds when the rapid fire glitch.

[@xxXthekevXxx]

[@j.j.j.j.8525]

@@wunderpuma4453 my question is late af, but why would instigating be better than two-shot?

[@WoWMinGM]

Great video, how about a melee weapon guide next?

[@ChozoSR388]

Baseball Bat, Board, Sledge Hammer, Tire Iron, Combat Knife, Machete, Chinese Officer's Sword, Walking Cane, Pipe Wrench and your fists. I think that's all of them. Also, did they mention that ALL weapons have a melee attack? :p On a side note, I was highly disappointed that the Shovel didn't count as a melee weapon. HIGHLY disappointed. Also, I modded up a Baseball Bat; made it black, and I renamed it, "The Big Black Bat"

[@gab1280gh]

Such an incredible guide.

[@xdbananagamer4569]

Yeah

[@omegabet3912]

why did I read this with Curie's voice?

[@dagoth-ursbeekeeper9119]

My favorite gun build is a long bracketed focused six-crank lazer musket with a long recon scope, or as I call it, the "Kentucky Long Rifle". A great alternate version, a short barrel scattered, is known as the "Blunderbuss".

[@rz1439]

Am I the only one that finds this selection kinda limiting ?

[@Nyctosuba]

Yeah, its pretty limited in terms of base guns... But im sure once the DLCs roll out, there's gonna be all kinds of new guns to customize.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

Compared to new Vegas this isn't a giant amount but still a good amount

[@retroicdescent]

The amount of mods you can apply to most guns gives you tons of leeway to create a bunch of variations for the base gun types, but yeah, I miss the Chinese assault rifle, and the robust ammo types from New Vegas. Modders will fix this, or Bethesda will with DLC. Also no throwing weapons, which disappoints me, I really wanted to make a spear/axe tossing lunatic.

[@DMoon612]

+jamie stuart As its been said, hopefully Modders could come up with some new models that'll work with the game. They don't have to go Gun Runners crazy just include some more known weapons like the R91 Assault Rifle, Chinese Assault Rifle etc. And with all the Synths running around I'm surprised "That Gun" hasn't made an appearance.

[@CommissarKozlov]

+jamie stuart I'm with you on this. New Vegas had an amazing selection of weapons, but a terrible "modding" system. I was disappointed by how few explosive weapons there were.

[@reedsy7585]

they need to add alot of the guns from fallout nv

An Vickers Machine Gun, yes.

[@jessejamesadams4688]

[@romekkko]

Play fallout tactics or new vegas (which I guess there is no need to recomend but anyway)

[@TheDiabloSVK]

yep...in nuka town market is legendary variant named splattercannon

[@admiralspire8867]

I don't understand why they made the institute weapons sooo downgraded compared to the pre war lasers pistols.. The institute technology is supposed to be more advanced than pre war technology in every fields and ways, yet they can't even create a better laser gun than that of pre war guns still used by the BoS and the Enclave? Weird.

[@yogsothoth7594]

I assume the institute is lacking some resource that was available to the prewar weapon manufacturers. Either that or the institute mass produces them which lets them make more cheaper but reduces their strength.

[@waimarieheap5608]

Coz the institute don't give a shit bout nothin but making "synths", they're basically obsessed.

[@sergeant_dornan_]

+Waimarie Heap your statement is 50% right. SPOILEEEEEER At one moment in the game you can select for the institute what to do : manufacture more synths or upgrade weapons. So, this is it.

[@waimarieheap5608]

***** Yeah but that's the players decision, before your character interferes, the institute are mainly focused on replacing humans with synthetic doubles.

[@xaviervega468]

+William Bailey The way I saw it is the Institute's best tech is geared toward more general science applications, were as the Brotherhood and Enclave favored a more militaristic approach to tech.

[@AslanW]

I picked up a legendary weapon called "Spray'n'Pray" pretty early in the game. It's a silenced sub machine gun with explosive rounds that do 15 points area effect damage.. Overpowered as fuck. I actually stopped using it after a while because it was too easy to kill my opponents lol

[@ingaz6565]

The Cryolator can be retrieved by using your dog. Go back into the vault with your dog and order him to stand next to the cryolator cabinet, then talk to the dog and ask him to retrieve, he will go up to it and pick it up without having to open up the locked cabinet. This retrieve function can get you some nice hidden items throughout the game as well. Not a bad idea to use ince in a while just in case there is something useful you missed.

[@z000mbful]

There are 26 base weapons in game not counting melee and granades, which is super low as for a Fallout game, the mods are nice but 26 BASE ?? this is sh11t lazy bethesda

I love that the pipe weapons use oil filters for silencers - It's actually a realistic make-shift way to silence a firearm. You can buy kits that will allow you to thread a firearm to easily mount an oil filter.

Pistols are the best bcuz there lightweight and you can have a different pistol for every ammo. Can have them all hot keyed and in inventory without weighing you down.

I think an instigating Gauss Rifle is the holy grail of first-shot weapons, most Enemies die to a normal one in one sneak attack shot, and most anything else takes 2, or 3 if they're a legendary and they heal off your first shot.

[@bread_man6206]

curse can u do a guide for companions

[@skavies2351]

Overseers Guardian, it's a .45 bullet shooter, so most common ammo type at stores making feeding it easier than feeding any other gun. Mod it for single fire, it will do up to 97 base damage (no perks), fires 2 shots per bullet spent. Toss in some psyco jet and you can unload a full vats run of shots doing (with perks) roughly 300 damage each, between the bullets fired out of an enemy mini gun. They fire one bullet, you unload around 7 shots (so 14 bullets doing roughly 150 damage each, vs the enemy mini gun doing 5 damage....)

[@namelessfaceinthecrowd2459]

[@namelessfaceinthecrowd2459]

Unpredictable how ? Its never done anything strange on my game ?

[@titotheninja]

when the 2 shot fires, they dont always go side by side. the might be on top of each other and one pops early. which nukes my face usually. but i almost never use fatman/bigboy anyway.

[@namelessfaceinthecrowd2459]

Kevin Vogel huh, wierd. I mean yea because they split and fall straight down so they have less range but Ive never heard of that happening.

[@titotheninja]

Well it's the 2 shot mechanics that do it. And I also have a few mods that might also play a part in it as well. Like the bigger explosions mod that doubles damage and explosive diameter for mini nukes, granades, and mines. I'm sure it would be fine on my vanilla character. But the 2 shot mod doesn't shoot them side by side. Sometimes they come out at 3&9, 6&12, 8&2, ect.

[@thefalloutscrolls9124]

+PC Friendly level 41 means the plasma weapon is VERY late game and finding one before that means buying one. ammo is scare until level 50. I'm at level 76 and I still run low on plasma rounds but every else are pennies to me, even the mini nukes.

+TheFallout Scrolls But he wasn't talking about plasma weapons or ammo he said fusion cell pistols until level 41 which totally confused me. But nevermind!!!!

Why the fuck do they not have PAINT JOBS for your guns? Looking at you mods

You got paint for power armor, why not guns? All I'm saying.

[@jamessleeper2477]

+DAEDRICLORD777 the paint for power armour gives out little bonuses like the BOS (brotherhood of steel) paint gives out less rad damage for guns it would be useless

[@brettpeacock9116]

I found a couple of new mods for weapons on the Nexus. First up was the M14, which is basically an M1 Garand with a box magazine. You can put a scope on it and it makes a good .308 sniper rifle with up to 30 rounds (mod for large mag included) The other was a .44 Desert Eagle automatic Pistol. Holds 10 to 15 rounds of .44, instead of the measly 6 rounds in the Snub revolver. Also modable. Just between those 2, the damage you can inflict goes way, way up - no cheat guns needed. The bonus is that those two actually exist as the mod shows them, and the models, textures and animations are great.

[@DrewFr33m4nn]

Brett Peacock well, the m14 uses 7.62 mm Rounds, but you’re close! In essence it can be seen as a magazine fed rifle

my favorite gunbuild is specified to a specific gun: the overseers guardian, it is a legendary gun that you can buy of the vendor in vault 81(the vault is located west of diamont city). its legendary perk is that it shoots 2 bullets for the price of one. w the rifleman perk it can cause around 160 damadge. because of its perk you can double this. im level 67 and normal difficult and im still using this amazing gun.

[@JohnDoe-bc4rf]

"You have not lived until you've killed someone with a teddy bear." You took that straight off of one of the loading screen tips.

[@alilxmas]

Well your comment about the standard double barrel shotgun is correct @ 3:10 but if you find a legendary one with unlimited ammo, it does use your ammo your carrying, but there is no reload time. And quite deadly...

yea i am glade they got rid of that .

[@Disthron]

I got a unique Sub Machine gun at the start of the game called "Spray and Pray" and it basically did me for the rest of the game. It drained life like no bodies business. Killing even the heaviest enemies in practically no time.It had a special feature of causing explosions around where it hits. Causing potential splash damage in addition to the 60pts of damage per shot it was already doing. Combined with the high rate of fire, it was pretty devastating.

[@Killbot224]

Am I the only one here who likes the new weapon look?

[@12171010011010]

+Belthador pipe guns are so ugly though

[@Killbot224]

they fit the port-apocolyptic look

[@12171010011010]

Belthador Well if you want to be realistic (pipe guns specifically): 1- most normal guns would survive. 2- they look like they would explode in your hands, break or jam. 3- only peasants and raiders use them in the game. Everyone with even the slightest significance has a better weapon. You are a hero and by the first 30 minutes of the game you come across 3 weapons that are already better than any pipe gun.

[@Killbot224]

hmm, I stand corrected

[@ps4warrior976]

Pipe guns are useful for scrap like copper

[@volcomnukka]

Great video man! I learned a lot. Thanks for the tips. At first I was playing like Fallout 3 but I switched up my style due to this video.

Fallout NV hearing about the most powerful pistol being the .44: *Laughs in 12.7mm* *Laughs also in 45-70 gov.*

[@simzocker]

why is everybody making such a fuzz about the deliverer? there are so much better 10mms around

[@lowwattliving]

Sooooo true. I have a 10mm that also does plasma damage but still only uses the 10mm round.

[@Carsu12]

+Simon K. Because it's only semi-automatic pistol that looks like something you can fire today. And paired with tuxedo you are basically James Bond.

[@goodman8545]

+Simon K. I like to use it in VATS only, spam it and it builds crits really fast, and I'm at 2 LCK

[@thefalloutscrolls9124]

+Rodmar Viking it's really a Makarov, a Russian pistol.

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

+Simon K. Maybe because it's a suppressed 10mm pistol, and, for me, was one of the first suppressed weapons I came across in the game, and, as a stealth type, is great for taking out enemies at close-medium range without bringing the whole place down on my arse. Not to mention, at the time I got it, was doing about 50% more damage than the 10mm pistol I had with me.

[@rizkaparmitasari9784]

Wait you forgot something, try to look at nuka nuke lanchers that John caleb bradsberdon gave you if you shut down the power line nuka nuke launcher have a differnt type of mini nuke that you can craft in all chemistary station and also all fat man can be upgraded to nuka nuke launcher

That .38 pistol is highly underrated. Fully tricked, I loved it and still use it occasionally at 110.

[@kingrdm1917]

At 2:22 the bolt action pipegun is the only way gunslinger's have access to .308 and.50 caliber rounds. I recommend using a short or medium scope (or a glowing reflex sight).

[@randyparsons3188]

I was frustrated with lack of ammo on survival difficulty and always buying fusion cells for my auto laser. I made a new character using power armor and then eventually getting the gattling laser. That build is very fun and I never ran out of ammo once since I can buy fusion cores and find quite a few of them. The gun is surprisingly good on ammo and very powerful. Melee is also a good way to eliminate the ammo problem.

[@kilaminjarezuni5591]

my favorite gun build is the pistol build as the this aided me in both new vegas and fallout4 it is still one of my hardest hitting guns and im currently a lvl 30+

[@randommandoade1465]

Fun Fact: The Gat Laser and I think the Laser Rifle and Pistol was made by Heckler Und Koch (Heckler & Koch) Oh and my favorite gum class is energy and small arms

[@Cormalek]

Cryolator ammo CAN be bought from vendors at iirc 24 caps a shot. It starts appearing once you get the weapon. Also, Dogmeat ;-)

[@FamousWolfe]

A .38 pipe rifle modded w/ automatic receiver and a good stock/scope can be your bread and butter for dealing with trash mobs like mongrels, ghouls, raiders, and even supermutants. Ammo is plentiful and you'll dish out respectable damage, especially if you take a couple of ranks in the commando perk. Against anything stronger, like mirelurks, power armor, and especially deathclaws, you'll definitely want to use a stronger weapon.

[@joshualindsey64]

I know that this is a general video about weapons but if you're a commando the best use of 45 ammo is the spray and pray you can buy from cricket

[@alexoboyle9339]

I fucking love the Gauss Rifle when fully upgraded with the recon scope. Makes a fantastic long-range rifle.

[@markb9949]

I actually carry a fully kitted .45cal silenced, max power, single shot receiver drum magazine version of the semi-auto pipe rifle with a short recon scope for all the lower level trash enemies I run into to and fro through the inner city. With a short recon scope, low recoil and large ammo capacity, it remains a darn good, low weight option for trash xp. The lack of recoil is really great with a small scope. You can send a second round and take down a tough foe without much refocus, which you can't do with the sniper rifle. It hits like a truck, but good luck avoiding notice. If you get in the danger zone, you can send .45 rounds downrange as fast as you can click a mouse without alerting distant enemies.

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

There is a Chinese Penetrating Grenade Launcher, btw. I imagine there are other named varieties of the grenade launcher as well. They shoot the 40mm grenades, I don’t know if they are strictly vanilla or from one of the DLC’s content.

[@Sempophai]

Railway gun, bedford station, open carriage attached to the engine, in a corner with a sleeping bag, skeleton and 1 spike. Found it there twice, easiest spot to get it, no quest etc.

[@Shishomuru]

Sexy little tip: Get McCready as a companion and max your bond and do his quest, once that's accomplished you will get his unique perk permanently that makes all headshots in VATS 95% chance hit no matter the weapon or the distance. (his perk is bugged, says +20% chance to hit headshots in VATS, when its really like 2000%)

[@jzargo7443]

I like the idea of crafting the laser musket into a 6 crank, short barreled, shotgun muzzled, futuristic blunderbuss kind-of thing.

[@OcihEvE]

Correction on the .50 cal selection. The Pipe .308 can be modified to .50 cal and more over, it can be modded to either rifle or hand gun and Bolt action Pipe is the only gun that fire a .50 cal round, making it one of the most powerful pistols even early in the game. Gun Nut 2 is all you need to mod out a .50 cal, suppressed pipe pistol with a hip fire grip and barrel.

[@juicynarwal6272]

I love getting combat armor, fatigues, and a military colored power armor and parading around with combat rifles and a minigun like a pre war soldier. Really gets the nostalgia going.

[@sim.frischh9781]

Scrounger perk helps with the ammo problem (on the highest level you even find Fusion cores!!!), and the Railway Rifle can be found somewhere else too.

[@getminty2749]

The minigun doesn't "over heat" it just gets hot and the barrels change color. There is no negative effect.
