Veronica ranged weapons?

I have no idea what her melee is, but she is devestating with the chainsaw.



I might have to give her the Thermic Lance to play with then.

I think the Lance is bugged with companions. They really stink with it, and I mean REALLY stink.

On the topic of Veronica, Ballistic Fist all the way. I found she did better with that than Oh, Baby! (which was the best melee option I could find for her).

Interestingly enough, I found Cass was amazing with the B Fist as well.

I haven't found it yet, so I don't know what it does exactly. Now I'm curious to see it as I was planning on a Melee/Unarmed character next run.

I just got my hands on 3 Ballistic FIsts which I compiled into one 'near-perfect' condition weapon. I gave it to Veronica, but saved shortly after without seeing her in combat. Can't wait to see it in action! How is the Lance bugged?

I never had much luck with the thermic lance even when I'm the one using it. Sometimes it does a lot of damage, and other times it's basically pointless. It also wears out pretty darn fast for such a big and sturdy-looking apparatus. I don't understand the proper use of the thing at all. If I'm going melee, supersledge all the way. Or axe.

She took out Motor-Runner and his silly chainsaw in three hits.

She punched the head off a Bighorner Bull in one hit.

A fiend attacked her with brass knuckles. My VATS shot at him was too late but I got a lovely slow motion playback of him flying about thirty feet back....except his head which made it forty feet.

I like Pushy. I'll have to try it myself in the Thorn even if my unarmed is quite low.

Haven't been able to get her to equip any guns ???

I gave her a .386 revolver and she wouldn't use it.

Tried a perfect quality service rifle. Nup.

Gave her the auto carbine. No thanks.

She does respond to the mini-gun but fires off a small burst, stops, tries again then switches to her fist ? Even with a bazillion rounds. She also makes little grunts when she uses it like when she takes damage...just figured she didn't meet the strength requirement.

Won't even use a plasma pistol !

Only thing she uses for me so far are the laser rifle and tri-laser. Oh and grenades :( She wasted a bunch of pulse nades on rad scorps...didn't realise she'd do that.

What's wrong with my Veronica {:'(
