"The fat man is overkill before level 15" Boi the Fat Man is probably overkill at any level lmao

[@davidpereira5969]

Eli Wein how about the mirv modifier for the big boy ( that special fat man that shots 2 mini nukes at once)

[@realnamememe8495]

Eli Wein your firing a miniature nuke using nothing but a frame and a rubber ban of corse its freaking overpowered

[@raptorcell6633]

Not quite, is it overkill at any LEGIT level? Yeah. However at a cheated level like 260, not at fucking all, it's actually quite underpowered.

Vince Lok Well he had dickton of them, also uses cheats for these videos and fatmans are not really any good for anything else besides fighting bosses when you know you're heading into a fight. On their own fatman launchers are too heavy to just always carry around.

[@mr.paperbag771]

I always just give my Fat man to my follower. I just keep the ammo to myself and they don't waste it

[@cheesed-kun8445]

Your Average Gamer isn’t it actually the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created?

[@LazyartistLast]

@Your Average Gamer More devastating than the fatman isnt really that big of a feat. most, if not all nuclear bombs these days make the fatman and little boy look like fire crackers in comparison. the Tsar Bomba itself was more than 1500x the combined energy of the little boy and fatman at 50 megatons of tnt. no bombs have been made bigger, but its possible to do so, it just the biggest ever detonated thus far.

Near tenpines bluff there is a bridge next to skylands flight 1981. There is a gunner camp at the bridge and at the top there is a hardened sniper rifle and a laser sniper. Great early game weapons

[@WUZLE]

The hardened sniper rifle isn't always there at low levels. I went there at level 5 and there was a pipe rifle. There's also supposed to be a combat shotgun in the Skylines flight and it, too, doesn't always spawn at low levels.

The first time I met Swan was after visiting the nearby comic store filled with ghouls. Got overrun pretty quickly and desided to run outside and walk backwards down the street while dealing with the ghouls that followed me. I died a few times and didn't know why. It was only when I decided to run away from the ghouls that I noticed him standing in the park, throwing stuff at me.

[@captainmorgan2307]

17:55 It was at that moment that Brotherhood Aspirant knew he f*** up. lol

[@Griezz]

Here's a suggestion for getting three of the weapons listed early: (1) leave Sanctuary. Follow the water North to the circuit breaker, trip it, then follow the pipe to collect the 44 Magnum. (2) head North past the bandits to the Robotics Disposal Grounds and collect the Fat Man and the nearby Mini-Nuke. (3) Enter the bunker and eject the holotape from the terminal. Use the holotape to activate the robot. Send it to Fort Hagen. Follow it to its destination, allowing it to kill enemies. At Hagen, go to nearby blood bank and collect the Combat Rifle. There you go!

Tip: In vault 111 when you get dogmeat go to the vault and commas dog meat to find something (be close to the cryolater) he will get it easily then access his inventory and then you have a cryolater early game

[@lindylewis9321]

I did not know that

[@wewilltakejerusalem5144]

Meaning you can get it at like level 1

[@leoneyamada5408]

dog meat: will run into traps getting you killed also dogmeat: can help you get some of the best weapons early and the stuff under red rocket station without injuring yourself also also dog meat: is adorable

[@Krieger-m6f]

I remember when in fallout 3 i was at the victory rifle shack and accidently said to dogmeat to search weapons

[@bleachmaniac18]

In my first playthrough I learned about this and used it as my "Oh shit big scary monster die die die" weapon

[@Cinder_v3]

There is a Raider in Power Armor over in Lexington that has a Fat Man. It's pretty easy to get around levels 5-8. You can get the Cryolator on Consoles at level 1 if you get Dogmeat and head back to the vault. Go to the room the Cryolator is in and speak to Dogmeat and ask him to find any weapons. He will proceed to pick up the Cryolator out of the case. Just pick it up off the ground, and get the cryo cells from dogmeat.

Pikmans blade is primarily a stealth weapon the legendary effect is good for taking out enemies you can't one shot. It comes with the stealth blade mod which adds a .5x damage boost to your sneak attack critical damage so no need to invest in blacksmith as it will last you the whole game.

go with rifles or pistols, don't run around like a chicken with its head cut off,try to avoid getting hit and using stimpaks as they make you dehydrated,use vats to constantly search for mines because if you trigger one you will die,dont immediately rush towards diamond city because there's no point and taken over hangman's alley since its the best settlement for survival mode,invest in demolition expert perk trust me grenade are so powerful even at high lvls with full ballistic weave armor grenades can nearly one shot you,avoid weapons like missle launchers and fat mans as there ammo I'd heavy and try to avoid drinking dirty water and eating uncooked food

You can easily use dogmeat to get the cryolater early on since he bypasses the lock. And what’s better is the cryolater requires no perk investments(I think) to fully upgrade, so the only con is that it’s ammo is super rare.

[@ki03s]

I have the cryolator and I'm level four. Thanks dogmeat, I can now decimate super mutants

[@zombiehunter5923]

Thank god that there are good good people like yourself that focus on doing a good and professional job on helping us to get the most out of the good video games Keep up the good work and great videos

[@jep1st]

One of the best things you can do if you desire to become a stealth character is to go to Drumlin Diner just south east of Concord. From there you can talk to Trudy and always buy a pipe bolt action weapon that has a silencer. This is the earliest and easiest way of getting a silenced weapon even at level 1 since you can't craft silencers early on and the gun is also very cheap so you should have no trouble getting it.

[@relay3829]

Pipe weapons are not good the best gun early game is the combat rifle

[@relay3829]

The reason why I did not include the Cryolator because there is only limited ammo for it at early game and most early game players wouldn't know that the cryo cells are only limited so it would be likey for new players to use all it's ammo early game.

[@leeman27534]

... with any pipe gun, iirc you can craft silencers with one rank of gun nut. which can be level 1. honestly typically start similarly, have the three pipe guns, modded for gunslinger as well as being silenced, early, for some ammo and stopping power variation. the 'rifle' and 'revolver' ones tend to be slow reload and less ammo, but they're stronger than the 10mm pipe pistol.

[@edmartin875]

There is a free pipe sniper rifle in Concord, going east it is upstairs in the last home on the right.

[@mrgftw7591]

Best companion is macready because there is a glitch where if you get his affinity perk it said +20 percent of shots to the head but because of the glitch it is +2000 percent

[@relay3829]

You don't get to Goodneighbor that early unless you explored mid Boston.

[@relay3829]

And you have to find Macready by random dialoge from a drifter unless you walk by them.

[@callmepoki]

Dogmeat can get you cryolater at level 1 and getting max affinity before level 15 would be pretty hard

[@brycenlefevre5242]

Dogmeats better

[@Nyxael5845]

Yeah but that 2000% increase and most of the mentioned bugs are only possible in the unpatched version of the game.

[@roguelobster4278]

Actually, you can have Dogmeat retrieve the Cryolator for you. The downside is that the ammo for this isn't financially justifiable for early gameplay, as it is relatively expensive for lower level characters

[@williamsantosii2211]

Good early game weapons vary. However I like General Chao`s Revenge, Righteous Authority, miniguns and laser muskets. The General`s sword can be bought at Drumlin Diner for the three gold bars you find in Sanctuary Hills. Righteous Authority is a quest reward. You can get a minigun both at Concord along with Power armor and a laser musket or at US Satellite Station Olivia from Ack Ack.

[@hazardousskarchived5874]

Here's how to get a decent 44. pistol early game! First you go to the side of the bridge at sanctuary hills but on the side of the gas station and keep walking along until you see a tube going up a mountain and follow it to a generator where there's a skeleton holding the pistol. If you jump on top of the generator there's some medical supplies. Also next to the skeleton is a suitcase with ammo and a random outfit. The only threat is when you get there,there will be 4-5 mole rats.dont keep going that way tho, there's 3 raiders not too far ahead. One of them has good armor,the rest are weak

[@edmartin875]

I wouldn't use the .44 to fight them. Three raiders, long distance for the sights on the .44 and only 5 rounds. Use whatever other gun you may have, even if it's a pipe pistol/rifle. At least you will have ammo for the fight. One raider is sitting next to a stump. Easy shot. The other two will be moving, hiding, and shooting back. You will have better accuracy if you are crouched (sneaking).

[@progman965]

Thank you, very informative and helpful. I'm level 10, and it's tough to cause enough damage without the better weapons you mention.

[@edmartin875]

That's why I am a sniper. I can do more damage at longer ranges. It helps to mitigate the accuracy of the enemy. Charging in with guns a blazing will get you killed very quickly. You can be in the back of a crowd of 15 settlers with everyone shooting and every enemy that can see you will be shooting at YOU.

X-01 I think is the best power armor

[@thomasaitken7495]

At least it wasn't X-02 or Hellfire armor. That would really be amusing.

[@MonkeyspankO]

The best early weapons are specific legendary effect + your choice of specialization. Many you just get randomly, which adds a nice element of chance. So, for example a 10mm pistol can be devastating against certain enemies well into the mid game, if you invest in it. So if you find a cool effect, build your character around that gun (within reason of course)

[@takodanorton3637]

Dude, I've been watching since your borderlands 2 videos. You slay the informational commentary game. The moment you said "Everything has to be a quest reward or picked up because you may not had the caps" I wanted to give you a high five

You can use dog meat to get the cryolator in vault 111 you just need to ask him to look for an item near the cryolator and he’ll pick it up through the locked compartment

[@josuejimenez7045]

Overseers weapon is the best for early game... what do you need? 1. Need 3 fusion cores: Can take 1 from preston and 2 for sentry bot next to sanctuary, there's another one in red rocket cave at beggining. 2. Reach Diamond city 3. Have like 3800 caps (less if you have charisma perks)... can sell everything in Diamond city to have more and more caps until you reach it. Can get it before lvl 15 if you do it fine. Want a better weapon?, can buy Big boy from Diamond city, only need a bunch of caps... same process.

You can also get a police baton in vault 111 once you leave the pod. When you walk by the power generator and see a rad roach creeping by the window of that power generator, approach it and look down on the white container and you will see the police baton. It is a good starting weapon because you have a couple of radroaches to take down before you obtain your 1st 10mm pistol.
