So what are energy weapons like now? : Fallout: New Vegas

When is first came out I remember they were in a poor state? Has this been fixed since all of the patches? I'm now wanting to build an energy weapon/power armor type build.

Thanks

Yes, Energy Weapons had a massive overhaul done with one of the patches. So they are now deadly.

There good but guns are probably the better choice unless you like swimming in piles of goo.

They're [censored]in', but there's not much for ammo, so you'll want some skill points in guns for the early stages of the game.

I wouldn't say they are poor, but there where certain aspect that they are missing.

Now they are the best well rounded weapon class, with only Melee and Unarmed can match their damage.

They're pretty... AWESOME. Although there isn't as wide of a variety as guns, they're still lots of fun. Alot better then what they use to be for sure.

Energy weapons are awesome.
Just a shame that after a while your game-world will be covered in ash piles and puddles of goo, as they never seem to dissapear like regular dead bodies do.............

Sounds like a bonus to me.

Energy weapons are the best now. Some of them can go well beyond the anti-materiel rifle in damage.

There much better now with thier only cons being in difficulty in maintaining even with Jury rigging for both condition and ammo but they are devastating with crit builds
