[MEGATHREAD] Fallout 4 || Contraption, Vault-Tec, Nuka World

[plad101]

If the game revolves around gunplay then why are there about 14 guns that all function like stuff?

They all feel like pea shooters even my loving shotgun at close range requires a few more barrels blow through their ass before the enemy drops. This is a great loving game yes, but it needs more, I honestly feel it lacks depth at the moment, because side quests and boring and repetitive and settlement building is something I do after a few hours of looting so I barely touch it, but besides quests and settlements and story what else is there to do? Shoot stuff with a gun that barely does anything to them, with or with out armor?

headshot mod helps especially if you're on very hard or survival, unless you're the type to use VATS a lot. then it will make combat too easy. I personally only use it VATS I really neeeed criticals or to know an enemy's resistances & limb health

without mods the guns and combat in general feels a little off:

explosives are weak or at least their damage scaling with difficulty is bad
.50 cal sniper is incredibly weak like wtf why is my semi-auto common-ammo laser rifle stronger
minigun is worthless without the right perks and a legendary modification
a .44 can outgun a legendary shotgun past 6ish yards (then again my suppressor probably isn't helping)
limb crippling doesn't seem to work as well as in NV
faces are bullet sponges

[CypherX]

agreed with .50 gripe, the AM rifle was always handicappedly powerful, don't understand why it's so trash now

The .45 submachine gun is the only submachine gun in the entire game and it does less damage than a pipe rifle, lol.


In Fallout 3 pistols were weak and did weak damage.

In NV all pistols were about on par with average rifles

In Fallout 4 every gun is weak unless it is a gauss gun or gatling laser.

Fallout NV weapons were definitely better. I love some of the weapons in 4, but it there's such a small selection of them and the mods don't really make up for that.

I understand maybe adding only a few weapons because these weapons have modifications. A 10mm auto pistol is much different from a 10mm hair trigger pistol, it's a completely different weapon basically.

speaking of weapons wheres a 10mm smg
should i work on modding that in sometime soon

Doesn't exist. The 10mm auto pistol replaces the SMG.

I miss reloading my own ammo and there being other ACTUAL weapons besides pipe guns

[Foxscotch]

there being other ACTUAL weapons besides pipe guns

I don't understand what "ACTUAL" means or what you even mean in general
I have a gun that I got from some dead railroad guy and it's far better than anything else I've had
I can't remember the exact name of it but it's like a semi-automatic combat rifle or something
it kills brotherhood initiates in like one body hit

but also I play on very easy. and in fact, when/if I get it on PC, I'm probably going to use mods to make it even easier

[Nonnel]

also one thing that bugs me is the abundance of plastic
there was an intense resource shortage going on, they would be using far less plastic.

sub machine gun and combat rifle use same ammo, combat rifle better in every conceivable way

atom bomb baby is a song about a gay man with a very elaborate girlfriend in canada ruse, where he sounds like he's super in love with a girl who just happens to be short but he's actually just singing about how much he loves his vibrator

[Lord Tony®]

The .45 submachine gun is useless. Lack of upgrade parts and does less damage than a pipe rifle. Also ammo is less common than .38 ammo.

I didn't pay much attention to the song and i thought it was about an actual atomic bomb.
