[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?
Zloff:
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.
Ravencroft·:
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.
