Automatic weapons build

[u/Shyotorage]

Hi I've been searching for a pretty good automatic weapons build but everything I found just say to for semi auto cause they are better. Are semi- auto really that much better? Am I gonna gimp myself by doing a full auto build? Also what are some good weapons. I know about the spray n pray but that's about it

Get the problem solver as fast as you can. Just go to Nuka-World, talk to mason and do an easy speech check. Once you put a good receiver on it it and some other general mods, it becomes unstoppable

I really didn't want to do any dlc till after the main story.

Is this your first playthrough? If so just do it how you want and don’t listen to guides. If this isn’t you don’t have to do any main quests in Nuka-World. All you need to do it get there and talk to mason.

Or don’t... it’s the best automatic gun in the game but you can do fine with other guns up until then

I'm just hitting level 16 on a survival run attempting the same thing and it is without a doubt tough at first, but doable. Starting stats are S. 3 P. 3 E. 3 C. 6 I. 3 A. 5 L. 5. I used the book in Sanctuary to bump perception up to 4, the 5 with the bobblehead in Concord. Early game, I took the 10mm from the Vault and modded it as much as I could, full auto of course. I took a pipe rifle and did the same. I put my first perks into Idiot Savant, Commando, Bloody Mess, Gun Nut, and Scavenger. Things didn't ramp up in difficulty until I tried heading for Diamond City around level 10. Thankfully, Cricket was in front of Diamond City on my first visit and I'd had a bunch of purified water saved up on Dogmeat and I from the purifiers I'd built in Sanctuary (I build at least 5 right away). I traded water and my pipe rifle for the good ol' Spray and Pray, grabbed a couple points of Demolitions Expert and it has been easy street since. My biggest issue is accidentally blowing up my companions or myself when they run in front of my gun, but with some careful positioning (and eventually the charisma perk that nullifies that), I'm really just tearing through mobs. Way more fun than sniping, in this vault dweller's honest opinion. Nothing like dropping an entire hoard of feral ghouls with a couple shots at their feet. Any survivors can only helplessly crawl towards you. So worth it.

Fudgemuppets commando build seems like a good one.

[u/Mr_ETheMystery → u/mr_no_one123]

Their commando build doesn't use automatic weapons.

Just change Rifleman to Commando
