I'm looking for the GECK right now. Kinda retarded but I noticed that I use the super sledge more than anything because they can't shoot me at close range, and all of my guns SUCK!!!! :/ even the minigun which has to be manually aimed cuz my character misses 5 feet away in VAT. Complete opposite of oblivion where I wanted to stay as far away as possible and hit them with ranged.....
hm...you don't have the right stats then. I can kill any enemy in about 2 shots except a death claw, but I always kill him beofre he gets to me. They are so far away they can't even hit me yet.
Super mutants or enclave always die either in 1 shot or 2 in the head.
I use a plasma rifle to do my deeds i think its damage is only like 34. I'm going to find the android, if you do you can get a plasma rifle that does 50 dmg, so I can't imagine the destruction I would cause if I got my hands on that.
Even before I had energy weapons though, I could use a hunting rifle/Chinese assault rife to destroy people before they would hit me as well. Long range weapons are great.
My stats are:
100 small guns
100 enegery weapons
100 lock pick
45 for repair
65 science
barter ist at 40
speech is at 55 i think
medicine 30
and some others
stats I didn't put anything in are:
unarmed
sneak
big guns (big guns are useless I think) if I want to use a big gun like a flamer, I don't use vats at all i just run in there.
explosives
and a few others i think i'm missing.
during the whole game I've only used a close range weapon about twice and that was because i was just messing around killing awhole town with just a knife.
All my perks also are for battle, like i have a perk that makes 2 handed weapons more accurate, i also have a perk that will restore all my AP points if i kill an enemy during VATS which i almost always do. I have a sniper perk that will make head shots more accurate, i have another perk that will increase the chance of me hitting a limb the more times a target it.
So yah get the right perks, and you can destroy people from a mile away.
Also I heard people say they can't find enough ammo, It might be because your playing good and I played evil but I never ran out of ammo or guns.
Out of all the gear my partner had and I had, I think I had every gun in the game with a good supply of ammo for all of them. Now that I switched to energy weapons, I have an absurd amount of ammo now. I statrted to really use a lot of frag grenades and mines because they weigh to much adn i have around 35 frag grenades and 30 frag mines.
I never once purchased a gun either. I did however pucharse bullets, like shot gun shells or 5.56mm rounds for the assault rifle.
