Interested in finding out what others are using:

10MM, Legendary Vat, silencer pistol. For used against small bugs, and spotlights while sneaking.

Shotgun, Legendary 2-shot, close combat, glow sights only.

Plasma, Legendary, 2-shot, medium range, fitted with sniper barrel for max damage, short recon scope.

Guass rifle, mod up for max damage and range. Long distance snipping. Love being able to take out a legendary NPC, with 1 shot to the head surprise attack.

i cant recall off the top of my head and I'm not at my comp right now...

But, from what I remember:

#1 big boy, best gun in the game

#2 crippling Missile Launcher

#3 Overseer's Guardian

#4 cryolater

#5 violent .50 sniper rifle

#6 wounding gauss rifle

#7 Two shot advanced 10mm pistol

#8 Two shot advanced .44 revolver

#9 gatling laser

#10 mighty advanced combat shotgun

#11 Alien blaster

#12 crippling plasma sniper rifle

#13 plasma enhanced assault rifle

I think I might have one or two more guns, but I can't remember.

I carry a lot of guns on my person because I ALWAYS wear power armor. ALWAYS. So I do have the luxury of carrying a large arsenal everywhere I go.

1# Deliverer

pistol, rifle and shotgun

I try to keep it down to two. a long range precision weapon and a medium to close rapid or auto weapon. right now its a scoped .308 combat rifle and a maxed out semi-auto assault rifle. Used to be a two shot laser but i just got tired of 50+ hours of lasers.

I always end up carrying a lot. a melee weapon that I never use, a 10mm auto-pistol, a combat shotgun, a combat rifle, a laser rifle, a plasma rifle, a .50 cal sniper rifle, a missile launcher, and if I've got my power armour on, a Fat Man.

Early on it's about dealing with ammo limitations--sometimes you need to swap out weapons for whatever ammo you're finding. At this point in my game (level 31, I think), I've got plenty of ammo for all my guns, so I should really start leaving behind the guns I don't use. I always think though, that a situation is going to come along when I'll want my silenced 10mm or Ghoul-Slaying missile launcher.

Sniper rifle (gauss)
10mm pistol (Deliverer)
Combat knife
.44

4 in total. 10mm pistol, rifle (which sets them on fire) shotgun & sniper rifle, plus grenades just for good measure.

fatman, baseball bat all that is needed

I have the Overseer's guardian, Piper has Elder Maxon's Gatling laser (to use up fusion cores I never use). I cannot think of another gun I would ever need or want.

I tend to vary them around rather than use the same 4, but generally I'll have a Sniper, a Shotty, a Rifle and a Pistol. I dont generally use Heavies as I'm not specced up to use them.

I definitely favor Ballistic over Laser/Plasma.

Rifle (Laser, Plasma and Gauss for lategame) + Combat Shotgun, rest=trash

currently

#1 I use a modded assualt rifle that is legendary and it ignores 30% of targets armour and resistance

#2 a modded Gauss rifle with long recon scope that I use as my sniper rifle.

then some grenades and moltoves

thats all I need.

?10mm pistol, Deliverer

Hunting rifle, .50 sniper

Combat rifle, semi-auto short-barrel

.38 Auto pistol

?Laser Pistol, Righteous Authority

Tricked out as far as gun nut 3 & science 2 will make them.

Sniper, combat rifle/shotgun, and 10mm. I would carry a .44 but I don't like how slow the revolvers are, they're nothing like the actual thing.

Only carry things I actually use.

1. Silenced .50 Sniper Rifle that does double damage to enemies with full health. As my sniper rifle.

2. The Deliverer, as my primary pistol.

3. Overseer's Guardian as my silenced rifle.

4. Silenced combat shotgun with AP reduction for close quarters.

5. Pickman's Blade as my melee weapon when I want to get personal about it.

6. Righteous Authority as my primary rifle (although it's beginning to lose my interest)

7. Plasma Sniper Rifle that I use as just a really ranged energy weapon.

8. Six crank Laser Musket when I want something to die.

9. A certain someone's pistol that I renamed Deadman's Pistol that I don't know why I keep around. Maybe when I'm serious about executing someone.

The rest are 5 frag grenades and 5 bottle cap mines. I'm fairly armed and prepared for any situation.

1 for each ammo type so I can use them up evenly, I think I'm still missing a couple, idk what uses .50 and I've been getting a lot of railway spikes lately but never found a gun that uses them.

A scoped Laser Musket and a medium-range Laser Rifle at the moment.

Before that it was just an explosive Combat Shotgun

Only just started but the 10mm pistol is the one I love to use.

I usually look to add something for long distance.

Something auto short range. Auto 10mm would do.

A shotgun.

I'm not much into energy weapons.

Mines are good though if well-placed.

Grenade launcher weapon would be good as well.

A silent gun would be good as well.

Carry

10 mm, fully kitted with explosive rounds...But I mostly just use it for shooting at Mirelurk Eggs.

Combat Riffle, kitted with no muzzle and a Circle Ret...I use this most of the time.

Combat Shotgun, Legend "30% penetration bonus" I use this in buildings.

Charging Radiated Lazer Riffle, which mostly I just haul around.

Two usually

.45 pipe revolver
.308 sniper rifle

Occasionally a Melee weapon, and if I'm in power armor a mini gun.

Currentlly

1 - Semi Combat shotgun (don't have Legendary yet) (Reflex sight Circle)

2 - Semi Combat Rifle - (Reflex sight dot)

3 - Semi Auto Laser Rifle (Old Faithful) - Reflex sight

4 - Sniper Hunting Rifle (Tinker Tom Special) - Mid Night Scope

I know there is better stuff out there, just haven't found them yet. The above gets the job done (so far).

Wow, I travel light, apparently.

I've got a heavily modded 10mm pistol, a legendary .44 pistol, a bladed aluminum World Series bat, and a dozen frag grenades. That's it.

Just about one for every situation.

-The Gainer

-Nora (10mm pistol)

-Matchbox (pipe pistol)

-Grognaks Axe

-Combat Rifle

-Le Fusili Teribilly

-A sniper rifle.

And an assortment of throwables.
