I enjoy stealth, so, Jingwei's Shocksword, Silenced 10mm and Alien blaster (To finish the tough ones off) for armour, chinese stealth armour with enclave helllfire helmet.

Experimental MIRV, Terrible Shotgun, and the Victory Rifle

Perferator, Double Barrled Shotgun and The Mauler. I rarely use the mauler because I liked Paulson's Revolver a lot.

Perferator for my silenced and range kills.
Terrible shotgun for close quarters.
Experimental MIRV for crowd control.

Deathclaw gauntlet for up close and personal (and it looks cool)
A1-32 Plasma Rifle for medium distance
A standard sniper rifle for afar

Ol' Painless, Dart Gun, and lots of Nuka Grenades.

A difficult question, but, at the moment, I am feeling a Gatling Laser, Gauss Rifle, and Sydney's 10mm "ultra" SMG (too fun to use).

Wazer Wifle

10 mm SMG

Terrible shotgun

Terrible Shotgun, Fisto, Victory Rifle

Tesla cannon (was epic in fo3), Eugene ,Gauss rifle.

Xuanlong Assault Rifle, Gauss Rifle and Lincolns Repeater.

Xuanlong Assault Rifle, Frag grenade & Terrible Shotgun.

:bowdown: Jingwei's sword, dart gun and chinese rifle

Gauss Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Chinese Assault Rifle

Lincoln's repeater because its terrific
Shiskebab because its awesome and quite effective with pyromaniac
and either protectrons gaze or vengeance for energy weapons

i'd go with
1. the rock-it launcher (really? I love shooting money at people)
2. the Backwater rifle (how has noone mentioned it? insanely common ammo, high damage, accurate, long range Whats not to love?)
3. the Zhu-Rong chinese pistol. (the effect can be used repeatedly on the same enemy and it uses cheap ammo, plus can clear gas clouds)

armor: Reily's Rangers combat armor (best non-powered armor in the game for dr)

The perforator(because it's cool)
The rock-it-launcher(lots of ammo)
Jingwei's shocksword(if my perforator is out of ammo and my Rock-it-launcher broke)

Chinese/Xuanlong Assault Rifle
Perforator
Combat/Terrible Shotgun

Gauss Rifle
Gauss Rifle
Gauss Rifle

and to be more precise, the one you normally don't get, the indestructible one. Needs a little preparation but no more boring repair is a good reward. Plus Gauss Rifle fix, so that the power is not wasted.

Lincolns Repeater...of course :biggrin: :biggrin:
The AWESOME Gauss Rifle
...and im surprised i haven't heard it yet but the tesla cannon

armor is definitely the Chinese stealth suit!!!

A3-21 Plasma Rifle

And, thats it.

In an effort to try to make FO3 feel more like an RPG, and less like an FPS, I have been consciously limiting myself to only 2 - 3 weapons. A rifle type weapon, plus a sidearm. Once and a while they will have a melee weapon as well. Plus grenades and mines. The loadout varies per character, as each has their own likes and dislikes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/Computer%20Games/Fallout3080.jpg used a katana for her main weapon and a .44 Magnum for her backup. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/Computer%20Games/Fallout3086.jpg uses an assault rifle type (started with Assault Rifle, then moved to Chinese Assault Rifle, and now the Perforator), and a .44. I find I like the .44 a lot as it has staying power in the late game, while the other pistols quickly become useless.

A3-21's Plasma Rifle for close work, Rad Scorpions, and Vertibirds.
Lincoln's Repeater for general Wasteland work.
Reservist's Sniper Rifle, with Mod to make it hit where you aim, for way way out there.
My companion uses Vengence.

VENGEANCE !!!! PLASMA RIFLE!!!! ASSAULT RIFLE!!!

Perforator. Scoped, silenced, awesome. Combine it with the Chinese Stealth Armor and you are almost untouchable.

Lincoln's Repeater or Backwater Rifle... As good as any weapons in the game. I actually like the Backwater Rifle a bit more, but only being able to repair with lever action rifles makes it harder to repair.

Gause Rifle. For the bad boys. Though I could just as easily take the Terrible Shotgun instead.


Though I wouldn't include it in my top 3, the Dart Gun is so much fun to use and a very effective stealth weapon.
