Favorite weapon and why?

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:11 pm

I think "This Machine" would have to be my all time favorite weapon. Easy ammo to find, packs a punch, very accurate, and for god sakes its a M1 Grand.

Pulse Gun. Kills two extremely dangerous enemies, Sentry Bot and Power Armored soldier, ridiculously easily. Fear my puny-looking hand gun! :shocking:

I should say the Multiplas here, because it is awesome and fun. However, having played through the game I have to say it's the Anti-Material Rifle (with armour-piercing rounds). One shot removal of Paladins and Black Rangers. Awesome.

RATSLAYER, yes it is an actual gun, its a special varmint rifle that is matte black and has a scope, silencer, and extended mag, and (obviously) does more damage, its my fav because im obsessed with stealth, and LOVE the cinematic kills outside of VATS mode, which happen a lot with sneak attacks.also because ammo is very easy to find, unlike the ant-material rifle or sniper.

Next would be the hunting shotgun(and will probably soon be the riot shotgun but Ive yet to buy one), the thing is massive, and is a shotgun which i love, a bit ironic considering i also love to be stealthy

Next is some sort of SMG but i dont know what its called, well anyways i like it because its the closest thing to a Tommy i can find.

I try and use my modded 10mm pistol as much as possible. I only switch when something has lots of health or DT.

Ranger Sequoia and Brush Gun. Both use the same extremely rare ammo so I can't use them as much as I'd like.

E-Culids C-finder thingy.
I love the explosion.

Also, the M1 Garand your using. That thing takes out most NCR soldiers in one shot. How freaking amazing is that?! Makes me feel super powerful in the Mojave.

I would have to say the Plasma Caster. It is 1 shot kill on a lot of enemies although haven't tried it on anyone with power armor yet.

How on earth did I miss that? ... I think I just fell in love. If only I could scope it...

Trail Carbine with the scope mod installed and loaded with .44 Magnum SWC rounds. I've spent the better part of two hours tonight hunting Giant Radscorpians with the gun. One shot, one hit, one kill results with it combined with Entomologist perk. Should get even better when "Cowboy" perk is stacked into the mix.

Silenced sniper rifle with JSP hand-loaded rounds.

I've taken out entire camps by myself with it. Sneak attack crits are easy and gives you 1-2 shot kills. And no one else besides the person you're shooting knows you're actually attacking them.

Down side is that it's expensive to repair... but there are ways around that, with certain perks. :)

Sadly not possible from a technical standpoint. The Garand loads with a stripper clip from the top and ejects the shells out the top too. Any time you wanted to reload, you'd have to remove the scope... Well you'd have to do that if you wanted to fire it without destroying the scope too.

My favorite is the Anti-Materiel Rifle. Heavy as hell but it packs a huge punch.

I havnt gotten this machine yet but i cant wait to get it. But for my favorite weapon I have to say Ratslayer is my overall favorite, followed by dinnerbell.

Ratslayer is great because its a vermint rifle, so theres ammo everywhere, it has the awesome night vision scope and silencer. Plus it does more damage than a regular vermint rifle.

Dinnerbell is just a better version of the hunting shotgun and looks cooler. plus i just loved the mission getting it

I prefer the fully modified sniper rifle (carbon fiber parts and suppressor), I like to pretend mine is unique so I call it the Hand of God because I can pretty much 1 shot anything.

Next would have to be C-4 Explosive... plant that on somebody, stand a couple thousand yards back, and watch'em fly... you'll be lucky if you can find the body when it lands. :nuke:

Lastly, the C257 Minigun (?)... nothing like pulling out a big ass rotating chain fed gun, kicking in a door, and just lacing the room with lead! :rock: :gun:

Sniper rifle ammo is ridiculously easy to find actually...

That would be pretty awesome... except you can't modify a unique weapon.

Hmmm, for me I think a fully modified Sniper Rifle and a fully modded 9mm and .357 are my favorite weapons.

That Gun, is one of my favorites. Not the best, but pretty good. And it's based on the gun from Blade Runner, a sort of futuristic revolver. It's reload isn't such a problem as I have fast reload perk. And it fires very quickly, too bad it only holds 5 rounds.

Easily the Anti-Materiel Rifle for me. 50 caliber Sniper Rifle, what's not to love?

Though, the scope it has is such a waste of a 50 cal. rifle - It should be an extremely long-range scope.
