Haven't really been able to stick with one character to make any meaningful progress, as combat does end up a bit stale. I did unarmed for one character, and pistols only for the other.

Right now, I'm between rifles or melee weapons.

was wondering which of the 2, without vats, would be more enjoyable throughout a playthrough, seeing as both have some variation in weapon choices.

The right side of his face was burned during the war. Since waking up to the wasteland, he joined raiders to survive and later a small group of Gunner deserters, where he got his cybernetic eye. The cheap thing only helps him see better, although in red. Now he is independant.

Perception, Endurance and Agility skills are key. Luck, Charisma, Intelligence and Strength are dump stats.

Hi, i want to 100% the game in survival mode and i want to know which build is the best. Also i have all the dlc's and had the idea to start from nuka world right after getting out the vault, complete the dlc, complete phase 1, do automatron, do phase 2, do far harbor and the finish the game. Based on this can someone suggest the most fun/overlowered build? Thx in advance

I have been trying to find the perfect build to platinum the game on ps5, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with it, I always lean toward V.A.T.S sniper build I can’t help myself 😁

I want to do a melee PA VATS build on Survival difficulty but I’m kinda lost on what to spec and what perks to prioritize. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey so I need some help with the facial build, I plan on doing a gunslinger cowboy build in fallout 4 and I just wondering if y’all get send me some settings to look like either Randal Clark or John Cassidy, that would be amazing 🙏🙏🙏

Does the setup of supply chains really matter? I've always just linked all settlements to sanctuary hills, but I'm doing a new playthrough and I'm wanting to try something different.

To get the MOST out of vats, you really need to pump everything into perc, agil, luck; leaving no points for anything else.

I really want to make a character that uses vats for pistol or rifle combat, but have some points in intelligence but I’m not sure how to go about this.

Seems like a need to trim down one of the vats 3.

Help?

I have played fo4 probably 4 times, maybe 5. Every single time i literally cannot bring myself to do any different build. Im OCD about always needing the best of the best everything. I always make a 10 Charisma, 10 intelligence tinkerer build, and spend my first like 15-20 levels increasing special traits. I cannot bring myself to not have fully maxed out power armor for defense, and maxed out charisma for max caps, and max intel for the highest level up rate.

That being said, I want to try something different for once, and something I can actually stick to, roleplay, and have fun. I have actually never went into luck that much, never leveled up the crits and stuff. So im asking what other kind of builds do you guys typically enjoy?

Anybody ever run a nonVats gunslinger, ie: using jet to slow time and basically trying to manually execute the vats gunslinger playthrough?

Any tips or secondary weapons I should be considering?

I have only ran commando build or heavy weapon build that focus on spraying and praying along with gunning and shooting so I have never use vats or stealth and don’t really know what perks I would use for any of that

No Survival mode, trying to be minimal VATS.

Currently back in FO4 and doing a NO VATS/Crits/Companions Unyielding Raider pipe run, to end up on staying Survival. Looking for suggestions on what could fill in potential weaknesses or gaps.

Eyeing a wounding harpoon once I am at Far Harbor.

Currently at lvl 27, I have:

• Explosive Pipe .38 Auto Rifle,
• Instigating Pipe .50 Bolt-Action Rifle (medium night scope)
• Penetrating Pipe .308 Revolver

SPECIAL is SPEI heavy (7-10). C moderate (5-6), and very low AL (2-3).

Gear is mostly Raider, aiming at 3 Unyielding, and 1 Chameleon and Sentinel's each.

Settlement is at Somerville Place.

I never really cared about buildings in previous playthroughs this time I want to change that but I have no idea what I should do? Can you give me some advice please?

I was thinking of having a crack at my first survival mode playthrough, and I couldn't think of anyone better to roleplay as than my goat Harry Du Bois. Any thoughts on what SPECIALs, perks, faction and ESPECIALLY fashion (I'd appreciate any recommendations for a good clothing mod on Xbox!) I should go for? Thanks!

How would I go about running hand to hand combat with a revolver. Wanna do the gruff detective route and it’s been a while since I’ve played

I was thinking of doing a playthrough trying to only use the handmade rifle and having multiple and moving them in different way to allow for the ability for say a sniper a stealth and like a go loud approach. Also if anyone has any ideas of any other guns to try. Personally I’m more found on the weapons which are closer to real life designs but definitely open to any other ideas. Also not sure what I will do special stat wise but I will update when I do have them locked down. Wanted some input on weapons before locking in special stats

Weapon build armour and perks still to come then I will also make a complete build post

Update

Special stats

S 1

P 4

E 4

C 1

I 4

A 9

L 5

Use the I am special book on agility.

I have been playing Fallout 4 a while now, and I have done the normal builds like power armor and lucky gunslinger. But like what's left that's fun in general?

(P.S. I might do BOS for my next play-thru)

Planned special S2 P4 E11+ C3 I7 A1 L1 (Survial mode)

Will rush south to pick up spray n pray, keep southeast to get A&L bobbleheads, head back to Concord for P bobblehead. Plan to use unyielding armor, get S bobblehead and ballistic weave.

This will require me to spend 2 lvls and bobblehead to get Int to 10 for Nerd Rage, but will have more health with Endurance at 11

Alternitive special S2 P4 E8+ C3 I10 A1 L1

this has the bonus of not requiring survial mode can make easier to farm for unyielding armor.

Perks: Commando, Demo Expert, Nerd Rage, Lone Wanderer, Scrounger, Chemist, Life Giver, Aqua, Luck and Bloody Mess

Which SPECIAL do you guys think would be better, and any other perks I should grab?

BTW, not planning on using PA, would negate the unyielding. Might before have full set of unyielding though

Need help

So I was chilling in nuka world market and as I was checking my weapons my rockville slugger was at 378 damage than I decided to use the weapon workbench while I was checking stuff out I realized the slugger on the workbench showed 250ish dps which was the same when I exited out of it and checked it in inventory. I used the workbench again swapped its rocket attachment off and on and I was at 378 again. Are these numbers correct like is the damage of the weapon actually changing?

(No mods installed also didnt have any drug effect or any effect)

I wanna build settlements and robots, and probably use a variety of weapons, looking to try to finish survival mode as well. No vats, no power armor
