re: **Official Fallout 4 Thread** (Links and videos in OP)

A lot of ppl carry a lot of guns to use all their ammo types.

But eventually you can use excess ammo as currency, like 5 mm or .38 , and sell it at vendors to buy ammo for your favorite guns. Like .308 or 10 mm or 5.56 or. 50

My character had 1 str for a while so I fought with 225ish carry weight. But I also picked up everything and carried a bunch of aid items I never used around.

It's gotta be the aid tab that's holding me down because I haven't cleaned it out ever. Btw the perk that increases the likelihood of caps when looting is the goat, I'm rich as hell now. Cap stashes are laughable now

I just realized I have been collecting .38 ammo for 40 levels now at least without using any of it.. I need to go check how much I have now.

Yea, I minimized my aids to only the buffs I really used.

Really don't need aids unless playing on harder+ difficulty.

I used to only roll with 20 stimpacks and 10 radaway. Now I just run with 10 Refreshing beverages.

As to guns, I used to roll with Freeze Laser Pistol, Deliverer, Shotgun, Plasma and a Scoped rifle. The shotgun was important for scorpions and mirelurks. Even helpful to hit deathclaws in the legs to slow them down.

Now I roll with a double shot Gauss and I still pack deliverer for cheap ammo.

why is that?

Hard shells, so you typically only have a small area to get a crit, so usually let them get close enough to VATS them with a shotty.

I have a pipe pistol that has been great. It did a good job crippling ghouls.

That's about all they're good for: weak feral ghouls. Anything beyond that and they suck. And once you get Deliverer, the .38 ammo and pipe weapons are good for caps and that's it.

I was really disappointed to see The Institute uses toilet paper instead of the 3 Seashells.

Im lvl 24 and wondering if my guns are close to max damgage or not.

No. You have to have all points in gun nuts along with bloody mess. If you use auto weapons you need those perks. If you use rifles and such, you need all levels of the perk over in strength. If you use lasers you need to max out the weapon perk under intelligence.
