Why do lazer guns have so high recoil. It shoots out lazers I just dont get it.

[@James-pk4jf]

Ikr

[@thekingtoastamo5808]

And automatic ballistic weapons have very little natural recoil (little effort needed to keep them on point)

[@AS-bm8fy]

It's to make them balanced. I mean think about it. If you have the Wazer Wifle (a laser rifle you can get from an unnamed NPC for those who haven't played Fo4 and don't want spoilers) which has the legendary never-ending effect and it's converted to an automatic, then without recoil, you could literally just hold down the shoot button and varying amounts of damage can happen (depending on mods and perks). That would be overpowered.

[@lilytorrechilla1445]

Bethesda loves making things weight what they shouldn’t. Those are probably 12 gauge shells so they by definition weigh 12 per pound. And didn’t Bobby pins weigh like 0.5 pounds each in ‘76?

I love how the 38 ammo sales basically 1 to 1 so if you have a hundred pieces you can sell it for a hundred caps and it's so plentiful that you can basically clean out a shop if you know what you're doing

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Oh yeah .38 ammo is as good as money in the game and it is way more plentiful than caps. If I'm playing difficulty where ammo has no weight I always pick up .38 rounds.

[@Vidhur]

1:08 I found an explosive 10mm once, it is way better than a wounding one even without perk investment in Demolition Expert. The only real problem with explosive affix is that moment you fight hordes of ghouls in CQC on very hard or survival without a decent non-suicidal extra weapon with you.

[@Dremeli]

Yes, especially when put couple of stars to Demolition expert-perk.

[@Vidhur]

@@Dremeli Yeah, especially since Demolition Expert doesn't just increase the damage of any explosive damage you deal, it also increases the explosion radius at one of the later ranks, so the distance between you and an enemy has to be bigger as well.

[@Dremeli]

@@Vidhur _very_ dangerous especially with explosive combat shotgun. I got it last time I played in survival mode and had to use it very carefully. Nice thing is that with it I could vaporize enemies who ran around the corner for cover. EDIT: with shotguns explosive effect is great since every pellet explodes, making lots of damage in one shot.

[@Vidhur]

@@Dremeli That last bit also works on Bleeding, so with a shotgun I did eventually try to get a Bleeding version. Because on the build I am running in that playthrough I didn't invest in Demolition Expert, but I do have Sniper perk completely and if I slap a scope on it I knock enemies down, so that somewhat counteracts the lack of the explosive knockback giving by Explosive. Also, the Advanced Receiver adds another pellet to the Combat Shotgun, from 6 to 7, increasing the damage even more for both Explosive and Bleeding.

[@Dremeli]

@@Vidhur Bleeding, do you mean the Wounding effect? That is extremely powerful on a shotgun, that and explosive effect are almost so powerful in the game that it's nearly too easy.

[@bradknightable]

Best shotgun... I'll just keep using my neverending double barrel

[@christopherconard2831]

I hated that thing when I first found one. First shot hit, second might, third and beyond were aimed at the sky. Then I put a couple points into strength and started building up the Steady Aim perk. I love the damn thing. The ultimate room clearer and anti swarming weapon available.

New drinking game: take a shot every time Puma says “in survival mode”

[@NobodyDungeons]

One thing I like to do on survival is once I get the righteous authority laser rifle is to use it with the overdrive chem to get a natural 25% critical hit chance which causes the damage output to be overpowered for the level you'd realistically be at during that quest and it continues to be that way till the end of the game

[@DurtyDan]

I've never liked using automatic weapons. But Maybe I'll spec into it in my next play through

[@katscagurangan585]

Durty Dan u should, automatics may not seem to have the best damage, but the fire rate is why it’s so powerful, miniguns are the best example you see 8 damage and at first your like “8?

Something he didn't cover on the pipe rifle that makes it so much better than the .45 cal submachineguns is that you can equip a long barrel and have far superior range with your pipe weapon for the same damage.

[@nathangregory_]

The submachine gun can take a 100-round mag and is not limited to only a 50-round mag, as you suggested.

[@rwolf_1049]

I was once going through my railroad playthrough, and found a legendary 10mm pistol with the never ending effect and without hesitation dropped my minigun for it, seeing as it's basically a minigun but better in every way, as it has a fraction of the weight abs super common ammo type with higher damage. So i wish i got that on my pistol character instead of my semi rifle one

[@cinycal7466]

Pyre Wolf Thats ok but the mini gun is still better especially if you get an explosive one. Yes the weight is better with the pistol (obviously) but stat-wise the mini gun shoots almost 6 times as fast and has much more range.

Gun Nut II will get you most of the modifications you need. Also raiders and supermutants drop them by the dozens. So it becomes easier to transfer the mods you want from one's you'll find.

[@MonkeyspankO]

Good list. The 10mm and the auto pipe .38 are the best for well into the game. The ammo is VERY plentiful and legendaries drop like crazy in the early game. There's no reason to ever buy one, maybe for a silencer, but even advanced mods drop often or your can just put a little into gun nut. The shotty is very use-specific (ghoul killer mainly), but it starts to out live its usefulness on higher difficulty levels where its all about DPS. Laser is excellent as well, especially if it has an enemy specific legendary, using one right now with the muti effect and it melts. Radium almost feels like a cheat against humans, there's one with an additional +100 rad dmg thats insane. The rest, well, by the time you get them you might want to start looking into heavy and exposive weapons. Overseer is good, but it kicks like a mule, so you're pretty limited to bursts.

[@Berlinbower]

I'm gonna make a build that uses only automatic weapons, definitely gonna try out the overseers guardian and see how good it is. Though if you slap on a supressor + steady aim perk you could just get the kiloton rifle/spray n pray and that should be quite a bit better
