Blitz Rank 2 + Super Sledge with Stun Pack upgrade = Skull Legendary Mythic Deathclaw didn't get 1 hit off me on Survival and died fast. He was just knocked out on the floor the whole time, rofl.

I imagine the Freeze on Crit or other Stun weapons can be just as broken.

To me, it seems everything besides small guns will be op. I just found a laser and I'm melting everything

Still early game for me. How long would it take to get a supersledge and stun pack I the first place?

Higher 20's for stun mods and blitz2 is when Melee gets OP. Low 20's is when it gets good. First 15 or so levels Melee kinda svcks though with how Survival is designed, unless you lower difficulty just to grab the Super Sledge real fast.

Unarmed is completely pointless imo, since it can't be used with PA and none of the weapons have stun mods afaik. So not even going to attempt that on Survival.

Haven't tried Unarmed PA, but there are crafting mods for power armor that increase unarmed damage. There have been inklings that unarmed animations don't apply in PA and perhaps that is meant

Yeah but the PA fists damage still ends up pretty mediocre, and doesn't keep Legendary Bosses stunned on the ground as easily

That build can be good though if you go high Luck/AGI, since the base fists get MANY attacks per vats bar which can be many crits/paralyze/and more strangers. It just requires SO MANY Special points. Probably not decent until 30+

I can't wait for a mod to fix that crap.

Is survival borked maybe? On normal difficulty at level 12 I can only take 4 hits from a stunted yao guai, (128hp, Def 37) Have a sniper rifle that deals 67 damage and it barely nicked him with a sneak attack (ninja perk level 1, rifleman perk level 1,) to the head. I had to set up a land mine, lob a grenade and then head shot him 3 more times to take him down.
