Forum:What's your favorit class of weapons?

SergeantDornan: Simple enough question: what's your favorit weapon class and why? For me, it is and always has been energy weapons. I LOVE using Plasma Rifles, the Plasma Caster, and the Gatling Laser. I like the added Laser RCW too--it's basically a gatling laser w/o the strength requirments!

I was very pleased when Gatling Laser was moved from big guns to energy weapons too. Guns would be my second favorite, I recently found out just how great shotguns really are with Shotgun Surgeon. I ignored them until very recently because they lack the ability to penetrate strong armour..but the SS perk really makes them kick ass!

So, first is Energy Weapons, because they are energy weapons. They are strong, accurate, have great critical animations such as turning enemies into goo or ash piles, and most of them have reasonable st requirments to use. Second is guns because of the wide variety of weapons in this group and the availability of ammo for the most part.

Explosives with Unarmed, is uterlly fun using the Grenade Machinegun to clean Quarry Junction and bringing the Legendary Deathclaw to his kness with Ballistic Fist + Legion Assault + Ranger Takedown! Better all, even with the frag grenade you destroy a energy weapons build. Try this: toss a grenade in a fiend equipped with a plasma rifle (a very dangerous and damaging weapon, BTW) and you will see that after the explosion he will miss A LOT of it shots. Why? Probably because his head or arm are crippled. Is this or they will run screaming that was only a joke, so you please don't kill them. LOL Brfritos 08:51, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Laser weapons - I can get a 92.5% Critical Chance with Pew Pew, and high CC with most other Laser Weapons. I turn most my foes into ash with one strike!

Unarmed and Melee weapons with the peircing stike perk and purifier. Legion assault with the ballistics fist can own pretty much anything. K-M4RTTS3CUR1TY 1:29 February 14, 2011 (PST)

Im going to have to go with Guns. they are plentiful and the ammo for them is plentiful too. I dislike Energy Weapons since FO3 the plasma rifle and Gatling laser where way overpowered. Besides guns are more reliable and varied. Xxfallout turkeyxx 18:44, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Unarmed. spiked knuckles (lovehate) rule with the right perks, and it is so much fun charging into the middle of a pack of legionnaires and going medieval on their ancient world arses. And there is very little that can last one love tap from a ballistic fist, much less the 4 I can use in a single VATS round (ballistic fist seems slow outside VATS so I only use it in VATS and Lovehate for non-VATS). The only problem is getting into range at times, but terrain helps there.75.67.224.12 20:18, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
