On my general characters usually a hunting shotgun, a sniper rifle ( modded hunting rifle, ratslayer, whatever im feeling really), a pistol, usually ranger sequoia, this machine.

Usually role with weapons that use .308 caliber because it's more convinient and I can carry all my useless junk with it

Just completed my first run through with:

Hunting shotgun
.357 Magnum
Dynamite

It's more fun for me if I limit my character to say, one handgun, one long gun, one type of explosive, and maybe a knife.

If I had to do it again I wouldn't even bother with the dynamite. I don't think my explosives skill was high enough to make it effective. (I eventually raised it 50, and took one rank in Demolitions Expert, but even then dynamite was worthless) I also have a sneaking suspicion that dynamite just svcks compared to every other explosive. I never figured out how to use it well outside of VATS.

9mm
10mm
Revolvers
Sniper Rifle
12 guage shotgun (hunting shotgun/Dinner Bell)

Those would be the weapons normally have for my characters.

CZ57 Avenger Minigun
some other gun (doesn't really matter, does it?)

The Avenger is absolutely the best overall gun in the game. It is just overpowered. I love the marksman carbine, but the Avenger can mow down a deathclaw on Very Hard in less than a second. COME ON! and apparently, the new patch makes the 5mm AP rounds anti-everything. Should I use the standard rounds or AP rounds? 95% damage and -25 DT? Wow, that's a real tough choice. Let me think about it while I clear out Hidden Valley with my eyes closed.

Over my playthroughs the weapon's I've used the most is the machete Dead Sea gave me and RCW+.

Lucky/Police Pistol
Modded Hunting Shotgun/BAR+
Suppressed Sniper rifle
A melee weapon of some sort....usually a combat Knife
sometimes I will bring along a suppressed 10mm or 12.7mm pistol

I carry around a good varierty of weapons on my current character.

My character is Guns and Energy Weapons based, but sadly he gives up the barter skill since he has 100 lockpick, science, guns, energy weapons, speech, and the remainder were put into sneak which comes to 82 with armor and skillbook buffs.

My Personal Arensal:
1. Euclid's C Finder ( For clearing out places like Bonnies Springs or Powder ganger camps from afar)
2. Fully Modded Sniper Rifle ( Used for Sneak Criticals from far away)
3. La Longue Carabine ( Good for some medium to long range sniping if the enemy sees me or not)
4. Pushy ( Great for unarmed, I also like how most enemies go flying)
5. Liberator/ Oh Baby! ( I switch between these as a Melee Weapon)
6. Modded Hunting Shotgun/ Dinner Bell ( Good for close range hip fire, very powerful)
7. Anti Material Rifle ( "The Deathclaw Murderer")
8. Light Machine Gun Modeed ( Fun for spraying and praying when you are overwhelmed by big groups of enemies)
9. Tesla-Beaton Prototype ( I mainly use it for robots, but it's pretty fun and cool to use)
10. YCS/196 ( I don't know what number it is, but its a great energy weapon to snipe with)
11. All-American ( This one is special, because I use it to slaughter Legion)

I mostly use those, as well as a couple other weapons, I'm getting the Ranger Seqouia soon, I also use most ammo types like Inc. or AP.

Veronica and ED-E are my " Storage" Companions. Veronica usually storms in and dies while ED-E finishes them off, unless he goes down.

Tesla Beaton Prototype

AER14 Lazor Rifle (i know i typed laser incorrectly)

Knock Knock

Both my main characters are fixed on using rifles. Mainly Ratslayer, All-American, and Anti-Material rifle. I'll also pull out Knock-Knock for close combat.

Behemoths are in vegas? i thought they were in the geck but not the actual game.
Also the only gun you need is this machine.

brush gun for short range
ycs/186 for long range
anti material for long range

1x Colt 45
1x AK47
1x M1 Garand(I would use This Machine but the irons are screwed up and it's in the wrong caliber.)
1x Anti-Materiel Rifle
1x Fat Man
1x M2 Browning
1x Smith and Wesson 500
1x Crowbar


What can I say...I'm a svcker for weapons that actually work! I'd love to use Vanilla weapons, but when I have an entire Nexus full of better looking, better scripted, more accurate and more authentic boomsticks at my disposal, it's really a no brainer. Plus I absolutely adore AK47s.

I only stick with four weapons...

- "This Machine" ( favourite weapon )
- Shovel ( I found it at the beginning in Goodsprings, still haven't used it, only use it for opening graves )
- Anti-Materiel Rifle
- Euclid's C-Finder

Who says it has to be guns baby you dig :tops: .

i carry a lot of standard bullet firing weapons, i loke the revolvers best

long range. light target: laser rifle with scope and beam concentrator
medium range, any target: Q35
short range. not decided, usually whip out the 9mm smg due to abysmal guns stat haven't really found an energy weapon smg yet. plasma defender is ok but eats ammo too quickly.

and a shovel

will add the gauss rifle as soon as i find one, but only on high DT targets since it uses more ammo than a q35 for the same damage

I can't play without a sniper rifle. I also love the heavy incinerator whether I'm close or far away.
