Using a wounding Gatling laser for the first time in the revamped survival: "Oh... That's powerful..."

[@simonwatts8338]

I got one of those in Gunner Plaza. The legendary Gunner sergeant that was carrying it killed me 11 times with 11 reloads before I get her with grenades. Bad ass weapon. Do not mod it for tri barrel, keep the high rate of fire as that works best with the wounding mod.

[@JCDenton0451]

+Simon Watts what does the "wounding" effect do again?

[@Captainoob]

+JC Denton Does 25 points of bonus damage over time. It can be stacked infinitely

[@JCDenton0451]

+Captainoob thanks

[@rabidoctopus]

+JC Denton .it is the most powerful variant of the Gattling laser, as technically (without mods) it cant have twoshot, or explosive. i have instigating, wounding, and lucky. (along with every other variant you can have as i have collected 30 legendary gattling lasers). And wounding is the best you can have.

You can also get the Nuclear physicist perks and repair bobbleheads. This boosts the efficiency of fusion cores. So instead of 500 shots per core you get 1100. It also extends the amount of time a core will last in power amour. Nuclear physicist does require an intelligence of 9 however. The repair bobblehead can be found on the very top of Corvega assembly plant. Which is usually cleared out early game for a minutemen quest.

For a six-shooter, that second bullet that doesn't use ammo or magazine is awesome. Gotta love double-shot for any gun in survival mode.

[@CakeTopFrag]

I had a legendary explosive shotgun on my survival playthrough. It completely destroyed every enemy I came across. I also ended up killing my self several times being too close to impact. The silenced 10m is the best weapon because its ammo is cheap and common. All you need is a stealth headshot and you kill everyone.

[@niklasmolen4753]

Ammo is in abundance and the damage is sufficient against everything but the absolute best monsters. Found a 10 mm pistol with an explosive, it was very good and fun. You clean everything that is not legendary. Too bad that explosive property is so unusual. Sure I could buy more ammo, but I'm stingy with my caps.

@@niklasmolen4753 i know, but presumably if going heavy weapons, you can use just 'it', for the most part so, 2-3 weapons with 2-3 ammo types still kinda works out similar - though the minigun still fucking sucks without wounding/explosive. double damage from survival helps, but even the spinning up of the minigun is detrimental.

"Ah yes it's all coming together"

[@leeman27534]

it should do more than that. base minigun's like 8 damage, plasma infused adds 15, so it's actually not a bad legendary effect, given it's super low damage - and any damage modifiers past that should be more than 23 damage.

[@reconspecialist6306]

Im using the killoton rifle from far harbor, i fell in love with this rifle. Does great ballistic, radiation & explosive damage, i converted it to semi auto to run it off the rifleman perks which add limb damage & armor penetration, also grab the sniper perk for knock down the explosive rounds benefit greatly from this. Go full stealth & use proximity mine traps for tougher targets, setup has so much utility to it, i recommend it.

[@joraneveraarts9589]

I think The Final Judgment is pretty good because it gives the charging barrels a little more firerate which is very nice because i find the standard charging gatling laser to be a bit sluggish

[@grimmzy_lifeless7269]

6 years later still a good video

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

The minigun with the shredder attachment and NO ammo is an AMAZING weapon! The barrel still spins without ammo so Fire that baby up and tear into enemies. That said, LIGHTWEIGHT weapons rule in survival. A .50 cal silenced pipe rifle with Recon scope was my best friend for a lot of my frost playthrough. You barely need any perks to maximize it. The Gainer .44 magnum with a scope on it works really well as a sniper weapon for pistol users.

[@Exantius9]

You forgot to mention one thing about the gatling laser: if you use the nuclear physicist perk, which you should if you use power armor, that doubles the amount of shots you get from each fusion core, doubling the weight and cost value of each core

[@SamuLie]

I'mma be honest right now! Survival mode has fundamentally changed the game for me. It's so rewarding and fun- sure The Vertibird is buggy and sometimes causes my game to crash among other things. It's still extremely rewarding to strategize and plan ahead, for instance I prematurely made modifications to my strongest armour to be best against specific factions when I eventually decide who I side and need to fight. For instance I have armour modifications that boosts my energy resistance specifically so I'll be better protected against The Institute and BOS, I generally wear the highest damage resistance however but if I was to ever fight The two I'd switch the armour modifications so I can be better protected against the energy weapons and when I'm not I just adjust it for a more general feel like maxed Damage resistance and deep pocketed.

[@billcox8870]

I am playing survival mode (level 117) and my explosive combat shotgun is great when dealing with almost every threat except for those that are in my face at melee range. Deathclaws of any type don't really worry me like they used to.

[@andreibarra2451]

the gatling laser is a truly beast, I've been playing on very hard and lv 48, I had some fusion cores that weren't 100% charge, so I wanted to waste them, I've been killing enemies so easy and was barely wasting ammo,

[@JLConawayII]

I know that shotgun shells are relatively heavy at 0.1lb, but thinking about how many shells I typically use and how devastating it is up close, it's still one of the best weapons. As always the explosive combat shotgun is pretty much game-breaking.

[@TylerG8390]

I'm just starting survival mode (level 9) and it seems so many of these are very heavy and loud. Like I would think the gatling laser and minigun would make way too much noise when you can only take 2-4 hits depending on what you're wearing. I would think sniper rifles would fit somewhere in here. I could be wrong just saying

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

To be honest, one of the best weapons in Survival Mode is some sort of suppressed long rifle that can be used in tandem to the rifleman, sniper, and stealth based perks. When undetected, you can pretty much one-shot most human enemies with a headshot.

[@Subject_Keter]

It seems like a guide for later on, Rifles with a Deliever backup seem good.

[@Genrevideos]

I had a chat with one of my buddies about plasma weapons in Fallout 4 and he asked me why the ballistic damage on one of my plasma rifles was so much higher than the energy damage output. In fact, he went on to ask why plasma weapons create ballistic damage to begin with. From my understanding on the effects of plasma in real life, plasma can either be turned into a liquid or solid through electromagnetic forces. What if these plasma cartridges have powerful magnets in them and the plasma follows the magnet in liquid form and the magnet is pointed to administer piercing damage to the target?

[@冬-01]

woah nice info bruh

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

Aeternus is the best weapon because it has unlimited and therefor essentially weightless ammo.

[@ameliawright6947]

too bad its impossible to use with power armor. they cancel each other out and wastes all of your fusion cores

[@8BitPinkiePie]

I had no clue automatic Laser Muskets were a thing until a legendary Bloatfly dropped one

[@DatMageDoe]

On the Gatling Laser, it gets kind of obvious that the Gatling is the best weapon for Survival when you take Nuclear Physicist without a doubt. That perk causes the gatling laser to use only half the fusion core's charge rather than a full core, even less if you take the Repair Bobblehead.

[@ronaldwp1977]

so far i have found that the best weapon for survival is the "Spray n' Prey" from Cricket. well worth dropping everything and running straight to Diamond City just for this. It doesn't hurt that it is the nicer looking gun in the game, and if you have the explosive perk early on you can use molotov cocktails to pay for it.

[@thedeathtrap995]

if you get max heavy gunner max bashing perk and max melee with the minigun shredding barrel it destroys in barrel range, and if yo have an explosive minigun youll damage yourself but youll do crazy damage

[@scottwinfrey519]

The best now is probably the kiloton rifle with an advanced receiver. Absolute beast on survival mode...

[@alterablebark54]

if you can find a lucky laser musket, a six crank critical does so much damage it can probably 1 shot the courser you need to kill (I don't know if it will fit sure but 4 cranks will do like 80 or 90% of its health)

[@sam3121513]

playing a high agility and luck character with deliverer and overseers guardian still automatic and suppressed as main weapons. Also carry a pipe bolt action because of the low carry weight and range

[@PaladinMthe13th]

I'm doing a new play through of FO4 based on what I believe Fallout 76 will be like. Since we don't know a lot about which weapons will be available there, I'm going with a conservative guess that we'll at least have access to the vanilla FO4's weapons. Thus, I appreciate that this video is still here even after the DLCs were all released.

[@SpidermanFan92]

The minigun might use the lightest ammo but it's one of the heaviest guns. At the start I got around 100 lbs carry weight, 30 lbs for the minigun and 300 rounds is asking a lot. Not to mention I can burn through twice that on a death claw. Any weapon I carry in survival mode I strip down as much weight as practical. The minigun you can get under 23 lbs with the accelerated barrel, once you've got the third rank of gun nut at level 25. Until then it might be best to save it, and all the ammo you collect, for a rainy day. When you finally reach level 25 and approach the later half of the game, having a minigun with a few thousand rounds is too much fun.

[@MarcelineSilvermoon]

Honestly if you own the perks either gunslinger or rifle man the plasma guns would be the best choice I owned the gun and just having a improved sniper barrel and max pistol grip with a holographic sight it would be a go to side arm

[@charliecole354]

It would've been nice to see how the weapons fare in survival mode, which you're not in. Good video though, don't get me wrong.

[@chatsypatsy849]

The Gauss rifle is a heavy weapon I'm pretty sure. Ranking up heavy weapons perk increased its damage. But I'm not 100% if it's a heavy or not, either way great vid:)

[@redeye4516]

Most weapons in fallout 4, ballistic rifle weapons in particular, are exceedingly heavy. To put the weight in perspective, the heaviest assault rifle in use today is the AK-47, clocking in at about 11 pounds. Many rifles in fallout are WAY heavier than this. The combat rifle can weigh up to 14.8 pounds, heavier than the AK. The closest that rifles in fallout 4 come to realistic weight comes from laser and plasma weapons, modified with rifle attachments. A well, modified laser or plasma rifle clocks in at just under 7 pounds, which is the weight of the M4 carbine. This sucks, since I really like the look of most ballistic rifle weapons in fallout 4, the combat rifle being a favorite of mine. What I'd like to see in the Nuka World DLC is a ballistic rifle weapon that is at least somewhat lighter than the rifles in the vanilla game and far harbor. I'd personally like this rifle to be either the 5mm assault carbine seen in new vegas, or an m1 garand type weapon, like the battle rifle in the new vegas DLC gun runners arsenal. Failing that, I'd like to see an actual musket we can use. We see the British soldier mannequins holding them in the museum of freedom and other areas of the game, and we already have a laser musket, so give us the muskets already. I knelt the reload speed is slow, but if the civil war reloading style was used (the musket ball and gunpowder wrapped together in a cotton cartrige, stuffed down the barrel of the gun), it could be a viable rifle.

[@deuscognito8900]

im a huge fan of handmade rifles from Nuka World, only if you have an ammo crafting mod though. the weapons i run with: Handmade Rifle, The Gainer, Deliverer, Justice and Old Reliable. I might run with the unique laser rifle from Diamond City to start a fight. I also run with fully upgraded Assault Marine Armor, each piece deep pocketed, and a backpack mod adding more carry weight. I also travel with dogmeat (mods to make him more powerful and better ai), using lone wanderer and first 2 points of Strong Back. you pretty much have to play with mods on survival to really enjoy it, especially saving mods. I play on PS4, and there are GREAT mods for it, saving and fast travel survival, dogmeat overhauls, combat immersion etc etc

[@douglaskelly6147]

The .50 cal anti-material rifle from the Creation Club rocks. Granted the ammo is a weight decision but at 300+ points damage will take care of a lot of enemies and being suppressed, it's my go to death dealer.

[@nicholausstevens1262]

A 308 hunting rifle gets the same damage output. The FO4 anti material rifle is basically just a reskinned .50 Hunting Rifle. If you play on survival the 308 hunting rifle with something like instigating or 2-shot would be way better.

+C Vi I used an explosive pipe pistol for most of a previous play through and a wounding laser pistol on another... good stuff

+biostemm It's not bad, but the .308 combat rifle is a little bit better. That said I think 5.56 ammo is cheaper to buy.

i actually did get an instigating gauss rifle after hours savescumming a legendary farm it felt kinda pointless tbh - instigating is fantastic on it for sure but with a sneak crit focused build - you're already one shotting like 99% of the commonwealth anyway - literally the only things it helps with are the like 1k+ health and armor foes and even those its a little underwhelming and some other weapons would help more (taking a fifth of an enraged fog crawler's hp off instead of like an eighth - whoopee) it's just too much damage already - it's sorta like two shot nukes - there's little the one nuke couldn't fuck up already anyway also after hearing early on how you felt that one heavy weapon was probably one of the best heavies to use in survival that we might not see the gatling laser - but lo and behold it's the number one slot

[@DeathRay89]

combat rifle is a .45 round and it can be used by both rifleman or commando perks depending if u going semi auto to full autoi dont think it comes as a 38 unless u make it one i always looted combat rifles which are always .45 round never looted one that was .38

[@frothy.4954]

Since nuka world is out I think you can easily replace the 44 with the western revolver because the western revolver is better in basically every way

[@kelseybaker682]

I only have an irradiated gat laser, pretty good against humans when I have the heavy gunner/ nuclear physicist perks maxed

[@v0rtexbeater]

Literally everyone who plays fallout 4: fusion cores are expensive and hard to find Me, who pickpockets them from every brotherhood soldier I find: interesting

[@hongockimquang1994]

No one says anything about Aeternus - Unlimited Gatling Laser. Simply use 2~3 Core, shooting them all up by spraying/changing/changing back/ spraying => they all depleted but will still be always counted as 2~3 ammo. You have unlimited ammo for a permanent fixed weight. You may want an Auto 10mm Pistol with Recon Scope and suppressor as a stealth backup. The only downside is that you must not use Power Armor - all your pre-made depleted cores will be un-usable; and using VAT with it - they COUNT each depleted core as ammo => all gone.

[@mohdazlanawang7540]

number 1 gattling laser. agree!! :)

[@MrHorridge]

All I kept hearing was "Grouse Rifle"

[@champ_gaming2370]

yeah laser weapons are awesome I got the laser gun from the brotherhood and maxed rifleman perk :)

[@ccrobbins5163]

In my survival,heavy guns run through i found an explosive gatling laser. It was amazing and i used it for the rest of the game.

[@hexados7479]

So you were playing modded survival because Gatling lasers don’t spawn with the explosive effect in the vanilla game

[@dswolf9421]

god im curious what he got off the legendary at 9:25

[@Rundownshoe]

Me too

[@grimreaper63151]

3:03 I sadly don’t have enough .44 bullets for it. So I guess I’ll just use the pipe revolver rifle for now XD

[@andrewlee5313]

My favorite weapons on aby difficulty are the spray and pray submachinegun Kellogg pistol and kneecapper automatic pipe rifle

[@Worldowner]

My top 3 Fallout 4 Weapons: 1. Hunting rifle with vats-enchanced legendary effect and reflex sight. Ultrahigh one shot damage and accuracy combined with ultralow AP-usage makes this gun able to make series of perfect headshots. For fucking VATS use ONLY! For fucking sneak attacks ONLY! 2. machinegun with Wounding legendary effect. Dont need heavy weapon skill at all, as damage dealt by legendary effect exceeds it main damage dramatically. 1 magazine = 600 bullets makes 15K of clear, unresisted by any armor, damage. No enemy can survive this damage. For use at fat, heavy-armored enemies ONLY! 3. 2-barrel shotgun with Never Ending legendary effect. Standard shotgun has very high damage and very high speed, but it takes ages to reload it's 2 barrels. When you dont need to reload - it can upload humongous damage which will devastate any F4 enemy. For fucking contact combat ONLY! PS Our company don't give a shit of any noob users who use this wonderful weapons wrong way.

[@psychxx7146]

1:10 ; Here I am sitting there, having sold the 5mm bullets for caps...

[@Chrisfragger1]

I got a Kneecapper Lazer Gatling Gun today. On a Melee stealth assassin type character lol.

[@jergusmacaj7872]

Bolt-actions are awesone.

[@midnight347]

Exploding mini gun and 2 shot gause rifle were the best guns I ever found. Either one would just destroy anything...the rifle was better for stealthy sniper type builds and the other was better for charging in and kicking ass type of builds. You gotta be careful if you're inside in close quarters with that exploding minigun. I had a level a 100+level character that had everything maxed out for making it take max damage lt was over 100 on its damage plus 15 points of area effect exploding damage it was unreal how fast it would drain the health of even the most badass enemies. The 2 shot gause was like 800-900 damage I think? That is like double the normal fat man base damage which is insane when you consider how far away it can shoot AND you can silence it. Easily the best weapon I've ever had but I prefer stealthy sniper type builds.

[@TheWatchmanOfTheEnd]

revisiting this 6 years later to assure that the best weapon in the game is an advanced receiver 10mm.

[@I_Think_Its_Kaiden]

I'd say the minigun is the best melee weapon as if you run out of ammo with the shredder mod then it turns I to a portable bleder

[@frederickmccollum1607]

I found a Gatlin laser that did 25 bleed damage. best gun I ever found

[@riotriguez5854]

4:05 That man saw you get hit by a molotov in survival and live, he knew there was nothing he could do and that he was done for

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

He isn't playing in Survival Mode. You can tell by a number of ways.....Mostly based on how little damage he is taking. He would be taking much more damage if he was actually in Survival Mode....and having made at least 3 Survival Mode attempts, I can guarantee you that you wouldn't just rush out into the middle of an enemy heavy area and start gunning everything down so carelessly. Survival Mode conditions you to take a slower, more cautious approach. Even if you are using "some of the best weapons" you can still die really quickly since enemies do more realistic damage on Survival Mode. Another big way you can tell he isn't in Survival Mode is when he used a Stimpack when fighting the Forged after the 5:00 mark He used a Stimpack and his health came back way too quickly. In Survival Mode, a Stimpack can take up to a minute to fully heal you instead of just a few seconds...depending on how much health is recovered. Also, using things like Stimpacks in Survival Mode dehydrate you and there was no notification that popped up saying he was dehydrated after he took the Stimpack.

[@martinmcneal2778]

You might hate me for this. But with Creation Club what would you recommend for weapons and armor? Especially for use in Survival Mode?

[@nachoboy1129]

My strategy for going guns blazing is using the MIRV as a mortar and just wrecking face with my mini gun with explosive ammo

[@ironmonkey349]

Laser musket is the best sniper in the game periode. At 6 crabk it deals more dmg then the gauss riffle and sneak/crit dmg apply on the final git dmg' thus all of the 6 cranked dmg at once ! I can deal up to 1500+ dmg with crit build on sneak atks!

[@leeman27534]

the laser musket can get more damage. on the other hand, you can't 'sustain' a sneak build with the laser musket, since it can't be silenced. i can clear out an entire crowd of enemies with a gauss rifle, without becoming close to being seen. the gauss rifle's damage is similar, too, literally the only foes that can survive a single shot are super high level power armor people and some far harbor foes with like 2k defenses that can't be one shotted by anything.

[@frontporchmint]

I carry around a Explosive .44, A Mighty Plasma Rifle, and a Mighty Combat Knife. Gunslinger maxed, and Rifle damage maxed.

[@UsagiMiyamoto]

I have an instigating gauss rifle which I renamed "death's sniper"

[@daka3785]

Noice

[@tristenharding7655]

"the grouse rifle"

[@loughton9066]

I'll have to try out a plasma rifle since my overseers guardian is being challenged and also what would you recommend for a melee build

[@simonwatts8338]

Strength 10 with all the perks. Level 5 chemist, chems immunity and loads of buffjet & psychojet! Then use wounding or furious weapons.

[@dersnud3003]

and blitz level 2

[@prime_optimus]

I don't play survival but I got a never ending plasma sniper. It's a pretty good weapon.

[@Stewiegameing]

The Gatling laser can have infinite ammo if you have more than one fusion core all you have to do is reload before you use all of your ammo per fusion core

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

Or you can get the Gatlin Laster in the Nuka World DLC that has the "Never Ending" perk on in actually giving it unlimited ammo.

[@Official_Nocturne]

I've been having fun just using stealth, and sniper rifles/ silenced weapons on my survival playthrough. Power armour seems to be boring.
