» Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:56 pm So, funny story: I was in Primm, approaching the Bison Steve, when some knucklehead started pelting me with Varmint rifle fire. We traded shots there, standing in the parking lot (actually, I was crouching), for about 20-30 seconds. Turns out this guy was a side stepping MF, as he successfully dodged four of my plasma rifle shots in a row. I kid you not. First he steps left, then right, then left again, then right. A split second after I pulled the trigger, he made his move. The guy was psychic.
I advanced, and sent another round his way, and he did it again. Of course, he was missing a lot too, hitting maybe once in four or five shots. Finally, in frustration, I charged him. I finishing the encounter by putting the frikkin' gun up to his melon, and pulling the trigger repeatedly. You know, plasma shots are expensive.
I felt like I was shooting butterflies at him; pretty, pretty, butterflies. On his end, his little 5.56 rounds were plinking off my combat armor like rain. It was a frustrating encounter. I've never had this problem with guns.
Strangely, when I went to the Fallout Nexxus to look for a mod to speed up plasma shots, I couldn't find even one. NADA. Maybe I'm the only person who thinks they're too slow...I think I'm going back to guns.
