Top 10 Best Automatic/Commando Guns and Weapons in Fallout 4 (Redux, DLC, Survival)

Link to my Twitter:
/ vinylicpuma
Hey guys! Back with another video and today, I figured I would go over 10 of what I think are some of the best Automatic or Commando Perk Guns and Weapons in Fallout 4. All of these are
compatible with the Commando Perk and are definitely worth looking into if you plan on pursuing that playstyle!
As always, if you liked this video, feel free to leave a like and let me know what you think!

[@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.

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.

[@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

[@MonkeyspankO]

@@Berlinbower Automatic weapons are meta for standard builds. Some one shot sneak crits can be better, but thats niche. Spray n pray is amazing at a distance, but in close quarters you'll take too much dmg yourself. Happy Fallouting!

[@TheWatchmanOfTheEnd]

Best part about combat shotguns is that in early game you only need a perception of 2 in order to really capitalize off of close courters shreddage. Also by experience I find auto receivers on combat rifles wastes its overall potential. The gun is very well made for midrange semi auto combat.

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?

But some I really think it's too powerful

I created an amazing weapon it is a two shot lazer rifle with the overcharged automatic receiver it does fifty damage per fusion cell not counting the two shot legendary effect rounding off 200 damage with TWO FUCIN FUSION CELLS ( this character was a melee build so I didn’t have commando ) also remember this is automatic so you get over ten shots off in a second (this gun is my best freind)

By the time I had been playing for a minute my standard combat loadout was an extended mag 10mm auto pistol, the overseer's guardian and the unique shotgun from Libertalia (forgot the name, Le Terrible?)
