Going to do something the complete opposite of what I would normally do. Got a character started and going to do energy weapons and side with the legion. thinking of a enclave background, kinda like Arcade, family background. And doing jobs for the Legion as it would be payback against the NCR, and the BoS. I've given myself the Legion Courier Duster to start with (i want to use something that looks awesome from the start, and not have to wait till the end game) but its DT is only 13, so its by no means overpowered. Gave myself a Laser RCW to start with small amount of ECP. Eventually I will be building towards the GRA Tri Beam Laser. So outside of Laser Commander at lvl 22, what other perks should I use for a laser playthrough. I've already given myself the vigilant recycler perk as i'm playing with JE Sawyers mod, so picking perks is limited.

I'll probably have to progress in the main quest until I get the chip from Benny at the tops, as I will need to get to the fort to start their quests. But is there anything else I can do in the mean time, on my travels? That would be Legion related.
