Question about the gauss rifle

[TheOriginalEvilD]

 

I only play on the hardest level under Survival.

When I rolled my first character, I played her under Normal to get the feel of the game. But once I developed her a bit more, she starts steamrolling everything. Every combat zone was a mere reflex exercise with no sense of danger. So the difficulty was pumped up to Survival but I think I did it too late since she's now very well developed. Still, there were occasions when some Legendary enemies surprised the hell out of me and got me.

 

 

Well to be honest, I cheat from the start. I max out all my SPECIALs and there are a few perks that I think are kinda stupid that I give myself because I know I'll just console my way through situations anyway. So, I make it as difficult as I can to try to compensate for cheating. Which does make it pretty difficult even with the maxed out stats especially in the beginning when gun availability isn't the best. I've found that even when I don't cheat these games are just ridiculously easy for me, I guess the style I play just works.
