Forum:Energy Weapons or Guns?

So which do you prefer? Energy Weapons or Guns?PaladinRanger 16:47, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

I like the sheer variety you get with Guns. Energy Weapons, limited to four ammo types, quickly make it clear which weapon is the best for each ammo type and all the other weapons end up sold or stashed away, never used. With guns you have so many ammo types that it's a good idea to keep an arsenal stashed somewhere and rotate the guns you carry depending on what you expect to face and/or what ammo you have in decent quantities.

I agree. For microfusion cells, As soon as I got the LAER i put up all other weapons that used that ammo type. Plus, almost all Guns have higher damage and DPS.PaladinRanger 21:57, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

I also agree guns are a better choice silver rush barley sells anything.Midnight lance 23:47, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yea, guns. But not Cowboy guns. Silenced guns. Of the Energy weapons, the one I used the most was the simple Laser rifle w/ mods. Squalor 22:50, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

I prefer Energy Weapons, but because ammo for Guns is so much easier to find, I use Guns way more often. --Tag! 01:05, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

I was an energy weapons person in Fallout 3 because the ammo was easier to find and you have a constant source of the weapons from the Enclave, but in New Vegas I find it easier to use guns because everything else is so scarce. --MethodFan96 21:16, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

I most always go with guns, use the LAER for the worst situations. Otherwise it wears out too fast. Hunting shotgun and or brush gun are always my choices. If you can make your own ammo it provides an even greater advantage --User:The Clamps  13:24 October 21, 2011

@MethodFan96 I was also an Energy Weapons guy in Fallout 3. @Tag! I agree. Nothing is like burning people into ash. But Guns has more variety. I think they should realese a Enegry Weapons DLC that include new weapons, new ammo types, and a new vendor like Gun Runners that sells Energy Weapons. PaladinRanger 21:52, October 22, 2011 (UTC)
