All I know is that a full combat run of the game is impossible. No matter how big your gun is, you will not beat the legions of advanced power armor marines and combat robots in Poseidon. Hell, even the random encounters against pistol-wielding enclave in the wasteland are impossible to beat on the easiest setting because of the critical hit glitch that inflicts infinite damage on you at random. You can have a Vindicator with 30 000 rounds and still the only way to beat the game is to super stimpak the president to death and let the turrets take care of Horrigan.

>>384576216
... I actually did kill everything in Poseidon.
Save-scummed like hell but I did it.

>>384576441
What weapon did you use? I wait-scummed until my all my inventory space consisted of 4.7mm and the Vindicator and I literally could not kill a single soldier on the rig before dying on the easiest difficulty. All because a single critical hit landed on my character, entirely bypassed the advanced power armor and insta-killed me.

It was my 3 INT retard run with big guns and Fast Shot.

>>384576216

Don't know what to tell you, I never had any problems with either small nor big guns. I usually just gauss rifle'd everyone in the eyes and waltzed out. Same thing with miniguns, though that one's actually somewhat more difficult. Maybe it has something to do with damage resistance per shot, or something.

I usually always kill everyone on the rig, since the experience gain is massive.

>>384577016
Plasma Rifle carried me throughout that entire ordeal
Made Eye shots with max crit build and turned everything I shot into goop.
High Endurance to tank everything they threw at me and still come out on top, Quick Pockets for that fast heal when I needed it and basically a lot of irl luck to get out of that bullshit.
I would wager an Unarmed build will get through all of it a lot better.

>>384569981

Tru dat. Power fisting people in the eyes was fun, especially with jinxed.

>>384576216
>>384577016
Not him, but someone who's reliably able to kill or cripple opponents within one to two rounds should be able to do it not necessarily easy, but without too much trouble either. I've entirely cleared the Rig before, as a Gauss-wielding perma-crit Sniper. I could also see a Living Anatomy-burst build or even someone who could reliably make eye shot criticals doing it fairly easily.

YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M IN A BELIGERENT MOOD RIGHT NOW

I LIKE KILLING THINGS

Yeah I guess I made the mistake of taking Fast Shot when the only way to win is to hit the eyes. It worked fine with Fallout 1 because tons of mutant flesh goes pretty well with tons of lead from a minigun barrel.

>>384577708

Probably the closest game would be something like Arcanum. It's not post-apocalyptic but you can clearly see that it's made by the same guys.

Only lvl 8

>Make a pacifist character
>Finesse
>no specialty on Melee Weapons
>Can't hit anything with a spear

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>384580959
Gatling Laser isn't really worth it fyi since Advanced Power Armor (which is worn by the Enclave) has major resistances to Laser weapons in general and will suck shit in the last stretch of the game.
If you want to fuck Armored assholes then you're gonna need to buy a LOT of Armor-Piercing bullets.
It also helps that you actually have Big Guns tagged. If you don't I suggest re-rolling all-together since you'd be wasting quite a bit of points you could be spending easier somewhere else.

I CANT HIT ANYTHINGGGGG

>>384580621

The whole game is pretty disapointing compared to the Fallout. It's just feels so rushed and the UI could've been a lot better.

finding the alien gun early while having all the skills needed to go with it ruined fallout for me

>>384581269
>Armor-Piercing bullets.

For some reason AP rounds are absolutely useless in my game. iirc the last time I tried using an Avenger minigun against armored opponents, every single point-blank burst produced zero damage. Only with regular rounds was I sometimes able to put a dent in someone.

>>384581661
that's a bug in the original Fallout that I think has been addressed in Fallout 2.
Of course I can't confirm this since I just use normal bullets, myself.

>>384581636
Yeah everyone always talks about "legit" combat strategies in Fallout 2 in a way that involves one secret unique gun or another. I don't think a game should mandate discovering well hidden secrets or absolute random chance to finish properly. I have literally never found the Bozar and only twice found the alien blaster. And I refuse to look up FAQs or ask for help because I want to avoid thinking that the game is flawed enough to require walkthroughs.

>>384581269
>If you don't I suggest re-rolling all-together
I don't but I'm not gonna reroll.

I have energy weapons tagged cause I planned on going Plasma.
Isn't the Perk for a 4th Tag skill in Fo2 though?

props to you, going through with your build
and yes there is a Perk that allows you to pick a 4th tagged skill. I can't remember what level it's attained but you'll get it eventually. Of course, you COULD be using that Perk-point for an actual useful Perk but since you don't want to re-roll I guess it's mandatory to salvage this build.

Gauss Pistol/Rifle was a mistake

At least Fallout 1 had more balance when it came to weapons. Gauss Rifle is better than Plasma Rifle. Give me a break.

You do realize that anything that isn't the VSS Vintrorez breaks the sound barrier? The muzzle velocity of a gauss gun is probably ten times that of a normal supersonic rifle's maximum muzzle velocity. The reason why gauss guns and railguns exist in fiction is that it's impossible to make gunpowder-based rounds fly more than 1500m/s because no material can withstand the chamber pressures required for that.

Anyway I haven't played fonline in years so I suspect it is radically different but back then you used to mine for metal/chemicals then take them to a work bench for crafting. You have to open the craft menu near the bench, using the bench just opens it as a container.

He can probably use energy pistols but keep in mind his sprite model won't be animated to use anything but pistols and rifles. Most energy weapons use the big guns generic sprite so he won't use a plasma rifle for example.

Shit like this is why Sulik only uses SMGs and no pistols, EXCEPT the 14mm because that one uses the SMG art.
