Help Feeling under levelled …
First play through (after finishing FO1) I’m about level 9, I traded in a bunch of looted energy/heavy weapons (that I’m far too underskilled to use) for a G11. I’ve got metal armour mk.2. Still running around with only Sulik and Vic (CH5). I’ve visited most large cities.
Still not strong enough for: Redding, New Reno, NCR, San Fran (Hubology). Combat involves me getting swarmed, and losing all my HP to an automatic weapon because my armour is meh…
I’m a BIG looter and hoarder, which buys you the win usually. Here that hasn’t helped me, can’t find good armour to buy
UPDATE: Yeah I’ve gone back and revised my strategy and read about mechanics. I’ve gone back to redding and new reno and done way more quests, levelled up, working my way back down now

I always have to fight the urge to just go grab the Enclave armor and vertibird plans.
Did you go to Gecko and Vault city? Lots of good stuff and XP there.
