GimmeBackMyMoney Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I enjoy using shotguns against many low-end mutants. Even cazadores take a fair bit from the Hunting Shotgun from a distance if you have the appropriate perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I enjoy using shotguns against many low-end mutants. Even cazadores take a fair bit from the Hunting Shotgun from a distance if you have the appropriate perk.I know. I have the shotgun surgeon perk (seriously, without that I wouldn't have any choice but to use slugs). With a bit of testing, I found that my shotgun (a mod added AA-12, but same principle for the vanilla ones) did consistently more damage against deathclaws with 4/0 magnum shells than with slugs. I doubt normal shells would be as good though. Still, it seems shotguns with 4/0 magnum shells are still a great weapon even against heavily armoured enemies. By the way: what exactly are the point of flechette shells? The fact that they have 5 projectiles make them inferior to slugs in pretty much every way.

DeadlyDoughnuts Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Without a doubt the All American, its kinda tough to get but its defiantly worth it. As for modded weapons i love my L96, thank you Millenia! I've never found the All-American to be a strong gun. Especially for something requiring 100 skill and being so hard to get. It's basically a Ratslayer, without a silencer, with a bigger magazine, lower AP cost and higher spread.They should have given the All-American a silencer and 3 shot burst in VATS, just so it compete with things like the Gobi and COS Sniper Rifle. As for my top guns. LVL 1-15:RatslayerLVL 15+ AER14 PrototypeQ-35 Matter ModulatorGobi Scout RiflePacenciaCOS Sniper Rifle Forgot about the AER14, i love that gun. Anyway i thought i should mention that the the reason i like the All American so much is its versatility. Its not as acurate as the ratslayer but still fairly acurate for a 5.56mm gun and while not being very powerful per shot it has a high DPS. Also i should have mentioned that i use WME so i have a silencer for it :tongue: Edited September 1, 2013 by DeadlyDoughnuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 So far I like Christine's COS Sniper Rifle (2.5x crit mult), the 12.7 mm pistol (with silencer), the Survivalists Rifle, Gobi Scout Rifle (just picked it up), and the YCS 186. For shotguns, I like the good ol' combat shotgun with standard rounds for all around versatility. @ Scissorhands...flechettes are basically an AP round with a wider spread. Like...for when ducks wear kevlar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my top guns. LVL 1-15:RatslayerLVL 15+ AER14 PrototypeQ-35 Matter ModulatorGobi Scout RiflePacenciaCOS Sniper Rifle I agree with you on the All American. Though I really don't like any semi-auto weapons. I don't want to get repetitive strain injury for the best DPS. A slight change of subject: is there any point in using any shotgun rounds other than slugs? There are hardly any enemies with a DT low enough for the other ammo types to be worth it. I even tried using some 4/0 buck magnum shells, and the damage doesn't seem as high as it ought to be. What does everyone else think? I like using Coin Shot + Riot Shotgun + "And Stay Back" many chances for the knockdown, even if you need to make all your own ammo. Otherwise, "slugs ahoy" :) Im adding another vote to Christines COS Silencer Rifle, best Rifle in vanilla/DLC's IMHO it can do everything. Its a bit of a "hanger queen" as far as reparing it goes, but keep those repair kits handy and its golden. .308 JSP makes for a very powerful tag team. .45 with Silencer or A Light Shining in the Darkness (w/ WMX mods) are my "go too" sidearms. Powerful, Improved Holdout weapons perfect for those "touchy" areas in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofdragon Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 i love the Euclid C-Finder. it has a great animation, but it is very easy to kill your self/ companions/ non-hostile npcs...whoosh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relios Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As much as I ADORE the Bozar for its cameo and This Machine for being the gloriously legendary M1 Garand, I gotta say that the All American is the best weapon in the game, it's just so game-breaking.

ethanv131313 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I use the Hunting Shotgun. If you build yourself for it with Shotgun Surgeon and Stay Back perks, it gets op as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
