Kind of surprised it hasn't been spoiled for you already

I haven't even gotten to to the Institute yet, just started Railroad quests. I'm level 32 or 33

I still haven't had Institute spoilers yet, either. I was planning on going BOS just because they have so much badass armor and weapons and crap, but I don't like their zealotry and I don't think synths all need to die. I like Valentine way too much for that!

I need to progress the storyline more to really make a decision, I think.

Oh wow, you've got me way beat

What is everyone's favorite and most powerful weapon they use (non-mini nuke or missile launcher)? I have a Gauss sniper rifle that hits for 480+ damage. That's the highest I've been able to mod a weapon.

Right now my highest damage comes from the Overseer's Guardian. I'm a few oils away from making it a .308 caliber and really pwning. I have yet to use a single mini nuke or missile.

I've recently switched to a double shot plasma gun or a gamma gun. I continue to lose some loot using those because the goo pile sometimes sinks into the earth.

Fatman & launcher are too heavy so I never use nukes or missiles.

Really only needed those in a few spots when I couldn't kill Behemoths with my standard weapons.

Now they cower at my feet.

To spare ammo, I use the Deliver on low level scum.

Shotgun comes out for scorpions and high level death claws. Just hit the deathclaws a few times in the leg so it can't move fast.

Has anyone found the submarine yet, someone at work just told me about it.

The raider power armor?

Yeah the overseers guardian is a beast with .308. I have a .50 cal that also shoots an additional round but maxs out with a 10 round magazine. Also have a 10mm handgun version and a mini nuke version (big boy).

Wait until you get to Quincy. You'll use them then.

Nope.

Although that was fun. It was at night so I didn't realize how much the shite was about to hit the fan.

I just happened to be wearing power armor and I have the medical upgrade. Without it, I would have been dead with all of those named folks, legendary folks and plasma attacks coming from every direction.

Some BOS people just happened to be there too, so I did get some help without having to signal. They all died though.

Man those vertibirds are nothing more than coffins. They get shot down way too easily.

One of them pissed off my settlement way down south in the swamp and they shot it down.

BTW, Macreedy's 95% VATS head shot companion perk is OP as frick.

Yeah, I've told people to avoid it early game.

Now, I am glad I have it so I can one shot everyone in the radiant quests while I gather stuff. Speeds those boring trips up.

I'm swimming in caps (20K+).

I was up to about 80k but I've been using a lot of aluminum and circuitry so I had to start buying tons of junk and batch items.

Think I am down to 60k. Actually have more than that since caps don't pool from all settlements.

Plasma mines errywhere in Quincy

There were so many people running around when I entered Quincy, I think someone set them all off.

Trucks were blowing up, plasma blowing up everywhere. Nice!

80K???? Good lord

Did you use the unlimited cap glitch to get that high or no?

I used to always have 0 caps. Then I invested in the perk that you find more caps, the perk that you find more ammo, and the scrapper perk.. Now I rarely buy ammo, I find lots more caps, and I rarely have to buy any materials. I only have ~$2k caps right now but I don't play nearly as much as I'd like to.
