lol you should get the 20th century weapons mod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joking aside, I'd recommend working on the Repair and Lockpick skills. Keeping your weapons repaired always helps, and lockpicking really gains you caps and ammo. Small Guns is helpful early in the game, but once you progress on the main story, Energy Weapons will become more useful, with laser and plasma weapons becoming more abundant. For someone at level 3, Super Duper Mart and the Springvale School are good places to get XP, since the Raiders there won't be too tough (I also wiped out the Raiders there at level 3-4). Are you planning on getting any DLC?
