Forum:Questions about STR

I got 3 str now, and I just noticed that the gauss rifle needs 5 str. I'm wonder how could I reach that str limit. I do know about intense training but I dont really wanna spend my few perks on that. I heared about a clinic or sg in vegas, where I can increase my str by 1 for some money in exchange, but I still need 1 more point. Is there a quest with stat reward like FO3's Ant quest with the Ant's Sight perk? Or endgame best armor (like power armors) with +2-3 str? Also is being under the str limit of the weapon makes a huge difference? Omenwww 23:34, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

You can get the +1 Str implant and get a Brotherhood-/or Remnants Power Armor, both increase Str by +1. Alternatively if you prefer lighter armor theres always intense training, if you have a perk slot to spare. Rootmars 23:41, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

And are those power armors considered the "best" armors? I mean with the highest DT(I dont mind the movement speed)? Also are there any armors with +crit or +ap? I do like minmaxing.. so I might just start over if I need to :) Omenwww 23:52, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

If DR means Damage Resistance, what does DT mean?--Lx MALEX xl 03:42, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Being under the Strength or Skill requirement of a weapon can make a huge difference, especially if you're already suffering an accuracy penalty from something like Fast Shot. I tried to use a Gatling Laser last night (Fast Shot trait, 7 Strength/requires 10, 90 skill/requires 100). I was obliterating Lakelurks left and right with critical hits, but sometimes the beams would go off at insane angles and miss by half-a-dozen feet or more. Schneidend 19:13, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I tried Fast Shot too... but after I got 100 NRG weapons and my 95% hit range was still soo short...I just started a new char w/o it. I didnt got the higher lvl accuracy perks like commando etc, so it might have even it up, but I was going to play a sniper style char so that -20% accuracy was just too much disadvantage. Now Im using the opposite trait of Fast Shot(not sure whats the name of that right now).Omenwww 20:54, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
