The thing i love about this video that no other video has done is giving tips on hoe to start it, including which weapons are easier to obtain and how to get them. Most builds ive seen just automatically assume even the low level build will have immediate access and knowledge to most weapons and it makes it kind of hard to get started when it looks like the only option is to grind stamps.

[@sunkestx]

Thank you! Tried to make it so everyone can try this build!

[@686Impulse686]

Recently switched over to this build. And I can 100% agree this build is so much fun.

[@sunkestx]

Glad you enjoy it!

Tip when farming chainsaw spawns, when you join a server wait a bit before going to collect them. They oddly spawn in at level 25 and then scale to level 50 after a while.

I've been using a full health melee build with power armour for the last six months, and my character rarely has to use a stimpak. He carries a dual bar flaming vampire chainsaw, a burning auto axe I'm trying to roll to vampire and the ricochet perk card. I'm not surprised Bethesda are nerfing melee weapons, I don't like guns in this game but if the changes are bad I guess I'd have to consider using them.

[@tremaineKR]

I have the flaming chainsaw as well it's amazing

Blud you forgot about the drill the best melee weapon

[@sunkestx]

You right

[@eliaszerano3510]

Eagle eyes will reduche str by 1 , is having 50% crits really better ?

[@sunkestx]

When you have unyielding armor and a strength legendary card maxed out, losing 1 strength will be negligible

@@sunkestx I see, :) that makes sense !

[@bossman7278]

them to their own I sir pose, but why would any botty use vats when using a chainsaw, or ether anther melee weapons. But the exploding legendry cards good Thow it helps -LOVE THE EXPODSIONS 😎👍GREAT VIDEO MATE.

Thank you!

What’s the legendary cards you used?

I just bought the game so the Adam shop is money. Real money span question mark

Atoms are the in game currency that costs real money, but you can earn some from doing in game challenges

[@jlindquist1996]

I could be wrong but isnt the drill also a auto weapon? I want one for the memes lol

[@sunkestx]

Yes it is! Can’t believe I forgot lol. Not used very often so it’s easy to forget haha

I get how this build works? I dont have enough points (im level 84)

[@sunkestx]

you'll get there eventually!

[@Itsjerrry1]

I think your missing you legendary cards which is why you base stats are off. That’s a long grind.

I switch between classes quite a bit and don’t want the downside of it when I’m not using melee weapons.

Suppress the mutation

[@TalibanSkyy]

Dude how are you getting above 60 damage with the chainsaw? Im low health adrenal reaction nerd rage all sluggers maxed out and it has a dual bar flamer and the same exact legendary mods as you but even with buffs and over 50 strength its not going over 80 damage how on earth are you doing 155?????

[@TalibanSkyy]

I've never used mele before please help this is Hella frustrating as I'm level 510 and have maxed put legendary cards etc

[@sunkestx]

@@TalibanSkyy are you a carnivore using all the melee buffs?

[@TalibanSkyy]

@sunkestx ya I use carnivore, but I just found out they nerfed the chainsaw by like half damage and buffed the autoaxe

[@sunkestx]

@@TalibanSkyy oh jeez I didn’t know it was nerfed that hard

[@aseroxd]

The nerf looks pretty bad actually. I've started moving away from a melee build which is kind of a shame tbh.

[@renzbolado153]

? what nerfs Aren't auto 2h weaps specifically getting buffs on the PTS?

[@aseroxd]

@@renzbolado153 Read the pts patch notes and watch the analysis AngryTurtle did. Not going to do it for you.

[@renzbolado153]

@@aseroxd just did, it seems inconsistent. (Not Angryturtle, just rather the stats themselves) He did higher dmg overall on the PTS when he wasnt wearing power armor but it looks bugged when he was wearing power armor. Even though the numbers shown on the items stats are lower, I dont know if the hidden debuff was or is part of the calcuation of current 2h melee weaps.

[@renzbolado153]

@@aseroxd So assuming that the hidden debuff wasnt actually properly removed on the current PTS because its still bugged/active with power armor, it will still be a buff if its fixed. Ive watched the video twice over, why are people saying its a nerf?

[@jlindquist1996]

​@@aseroxdmight wanna watch it again im pretty sure its bugged while wearing power armor cuz his overall damage without PA was actually higher on PTS if im not mistaken

I’ve been wondering this for a while but I’ve have yet to see someone explain it, what is the point of using lifegiver while using a bloodied build?

[@therealpiffkit]

Bloodied is based of percentage so it don't matter the hp as long as it's around the 20%

[@MichaelKauffman-lv4tu]

I’ve been wondering this for a while but I’ve have yet to see someone explain it, what is the point of using lifegiver while using a bloodied build?

[@koreywoodard93]

you get more % of HP while low. example: 100 base HP, 20HP is full bloodied 100 + 45 from lifegiver 145, 29HP is now full bloodied you become tankier

I’ve been wondering this for a while but I’ve have yet to see someone explain it, what is the point of using lifegiver while using a bloodied build?

[@12345678910111213358]

You run bloodied at 25% of your health and life giver increases your health. Since bloodied is dependent on a percentage of your health, you get more health with life giver than without it.

[@MichaelKauffman-lv4tu]

I’ve been wondering this for a while but I’ve have yet to see someone explain it, what is the point of using lifegiver while using a bloodied build?

[@sunkestx]

Since adrenal reaction and need rage kick in when your below 20% health. Using life giver raises what your 20% health would be. Angry turtle tested it and it helps survivability a lot for bloodied
