For the gauss rifle, how many levels of science do I really need to build it and max out the mods? I know you mentioned mister sandman, is it really worth it as it only applies at night? Only one I maxed out was Perception. The build I am going for; Stealth using gauss and lever action with a side of shotgun. (For those oh shit moments) Once I get the Chinese suit, that's all I'll be using. No interest in power armor. Gauss Rifle; To craft a regular Gauss, you only need Science at one rank. For mods, the highest requirement was Science Master at one rank. There are a total of 30 mods for that weapon. Mister Sandman isn't necessary, but it certainly helps. For Sneak Attacks it can mean the difference between 2.5x damage, and 3.75x damage. I have it, and use it sometimes, but it isn't a necessity. As per the build. 3x Ranks of Shotgunner giving 20% increase can be swapped for 1 rank each of Shotgunner, Master Shotgunner, and Expert Shotgunner, for a total of 30% increase at the same SPECIAL cost. Something to consider, especially if it's only for backup. More efficient. Enforcer works well if you're using the shotgun as an "Oh Shit" backup, and I see you may have extra Agility points to spare.  12 IN is probably much higher than necessary, IMO. You could probably drop it to 8, since the crafting cards won't be used often at all, and you can just swap them in as needed. Rarely are you hacking terminals in this game, either. I consider them all utility perks, and only bust them out as needed, as it really isn't often. Those extra points can go elsewhere to much greater effect (Recommend Luck). If you're a VATS build, 4LC might be supplemented with Better Criticals (with redistributed IN points). Keep in mind that if you grab a weapon with the second legendary effect 50% Critical Damage, it doesn't stack with the perk. They have overriding logic. At some point you'll definitely decide you want Mutations. That's two ranks of Luck for Starched Genes, and 3 more for Class Freak - something to keep in mind for the future. Another thing to remember is that after level 50, you can start swapping SPECIAL points around, and fine tune your build as you find what works with your play style, and doesn't. So nothing is locked in permanently. |

I see kinda where they are going with it, but it might be easier just to jot down a level progression for myself. |

I see kinda where they are going with it, but it might be easier just to jot down a level progression for myself. It's a good quick reference though. Ultimately, as Veccio said, most builds will be viable. Unless you're going to play obsessively and for a long time, it's not that big of a deal which way you go. My build has changed 300 times, as I get new gear or mess around with new things. While I miss the skill progression from older Fallout titles, the strength here is it's flexibility. There's no wrong answer. |

Took your recommendations. Should I have at least one in hacker? What about lock picking? I put two extra into luck, but I was up in the air about endurance if I should have put one in there. |

Endurance has some good perks, but for a stealth build you'll not use them as much. Fireproof perk helps against Scorchbeast sonic attacks so it might be helpful later on I busted out one of the explosive shotguns last night and ran around crippling ghouls for a bit with enforcer. Forgot how fun it is. |

One thing I've started doing in Fallout games is bumping my Luck stat. In 76, I think I'm at 8 right now, and I'm certainly getting more free crap from all the random drops.

Wastelanders should have been a day one release. The game feels way different, even though, it still plays similar to an ammo.
I like the game, it still has its shortfalls though. I play on xbox. Cseabass is the gamer tag. Been playing my melee char mostly. |

Hopped back on this morning after months off after being frustrated with the game. Every time I was start a quest a high level would run through and completely fuck me up or just amp up the enemy levels that I have to back out and reload another server. Played for a half hour and still got my shit rocked this morning so I quit for now. I like how they brought back the regular fallout vibe with NPC's but I just need to be a little more patient. Only a level 20 and just getting destroyed by 100+'s

Second, you level up much faster if they are killing a bunch of high level enemies. Just get a couple hits on them. And third. GIT GUD. |

Finally got all five pieces of Secret Service Armor plans learned, but still need Buttressed mods for the limbs. The stats are insane as it is, but I'm not digging the lack of Ultra-Light mods.
Blew through 500+ legendary modules getting the set squared away, and ended up with what I would consider acceptable rolls. 5x pieces of Unyielding, and maybe 3 Assassins pieces. I believe I kept a Chameleon/Harder to Detect piece also. Had I been more forward thinking I would have kept the Auto Stim pieces as well and selected one of the good ones. Going to try going high health bloodied for a bit, running at around 40% instead of 20%, and making use of Born Survivor and Field Surgeon. 20% isn't an issue for PvE and general play, but it's far too close to the edge against some of the tankier Junkie builds I'm running into. Math is telling me I may still be better off with a proper Scout Armor setup in the end, with the same build. Guess we'll see. Traded some bullshit for this the other day as well. Pretty much 100% sure it's not legit, but not a lot of players can defend against it. I've only pulled it out on a few people who were being proper cunts.  Attached File |

Thank God for double XP weekend.
Jumped 20 levels in 5 hrs. So, what legendary weapons should I be looking out for? I currently have a 2 star gauss rifle w/executioner and +50% crit damage while in VATS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I picked up an instigating gauss with 25ffr and 90wwr Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Instigating is nice. Anything with rate of fire, that can be semi or auto is nice. I've been rolling with Handmades for a long time. Just launched on Harper's to farm glowies in Burrows for the next two hours. Haven't done this in a while, so I wonder how much XP I can rack up. So I fucked it up the first time, and only hit one manhole cover, thinking it would be easier to get in and out. Evidently that won't change the ghoul spawns to glowies, so if you wanna do it, make sure you cover both entrances just to be sure. So I just jumped back on public and took advantage of team play and Inspirational for a while. I ended up going back at it when everyone else logged off. ~75 Ghoul spawns on that map - 41 Intelligence with all my armor, buffs, etc. - Cranberry Relish, Berry Mentats, Well Rested. - 624xp per Level 54 Bloated Glowing One Kill, and at my current level it's taking me about 2.5 runs though burrows to hit a level. So about 45k XP per run, with relogging each run takes about 10 minutes. I'm 25 levels over my weekend goal, and set tomorrow's goal for 25 more. No life quarantine furlough bullshit

So, by the time the double XP ended, I went from level 32 to level 64. (I didn't play as much as I wanted too)
Thing is, the damage from my gauss, level suck. Level 50s still take a shit load to bring it down. Seems this game is a mini gun w/ power armor type of game to survive? |

I think my problem is I am used to things not being as spongy in later levels. I am in the hunt for a gauss rifle instigator with +50% crit dmg. Would fit with my stealth play style. |

I found a player who is willing to sell me a Lvl 45 instigating gauss rifle (1 star) for 2k caps.
Worth it? |

If you've got the caps, and want the weapon, sure. It's not totally absurd. Cap values are weird, everyone values things differently.

After the Gauss Rifle discussion I did pull one of my better ones out of the stash, a Bloodied/10% Aim Damage one. Did the Shielded Stabilized, Perforating Capacitors, and medium scope.
With my usual buffs it's pushing 1k base damage, and the new Gauss projectile with the built in area explosion seems to be playing nicely for it. I've used it a few times in PvP now, and I'm digging it a lot. First guy was going to stay 1v1 with my buddy, but he decided to set up a stupid amount of heavy turrets at Hemlock, and he would keep repairing them mid fight. I jumped in just to take out turrets, and caught him in a flat run at the work bench. Didn't think I'd hit him, much less 1 shot him, as he wasn't bloodied. Shocked the hell out of me. Twice today I got some quick two hit kills on Power Armor bro's now that I'm getting the timing on the recoil. The 226 range without a suppressor gives me a tad more leeway on damage drop off with Long Shot, and seems to out perform my other BE rifles. Demo Expert does effect the area damage value as well. The base damage is high enough it might actually be worth the 8 IN for Nerd Rage/Demo. I want to get ahold of a Legacy BE to do some comparison testing with. |

And no prime capacitor? I also use Grounded mutation, which will give a debuff to energy weapons. I'll use a serum to get rid of the debuff if I think it'll be worth it (bigger/longer fights). If I'm not toting around a Radium or Plasma I don't really worry about it, though. I tend to use ballistic weapons more often than not. Prime Capacitor will make the damage nuts, and I might actually do it at some point, but for PvP purposes damage is capped at 110, so it would mostly be a waste I think. The explosive damage is 20% of base damage, so it may end up being worth it, I'm still figuring this one out since I haven't been using Gauss much. As far as VATS crit damage, do you have Eagle Eyes mutation? It'll give a 25% bonus to crit damage. This is only Psychotats. I checked on the bench and Prime caps would put it around 1,330... so I'll probably end up doing that, I don't use it on molerats. Much.  Attached File |

Class Freak perk will limit the ST penalty for the mutation to 1, but it won't affect your perk slots at all. Gauss has a built in explosive type damage now. Shoot the ground next to something that takes damage and you'll see it splash. It isn't identical, but it behaves the same. |
