Gauss rifles can get suppressors too

If you've got the sneaking perks and the damage perks and the silencer perks even a silenced .38 pistol will one shot almost anything. When I finally just finished the BoS questline at like 74 (survival) I was literally just wandering around with nothing but the deliverer and a two shot .44 for stealth and "welp, you saw me, now you'll feel it when I kill you" modes. Two shots on glowing deathclaws, sometimes 3 on behemoths if I'm just a little out of range. Swan didn't even finish standing up.

HJE-Cobra posted:Gauss rifles can get suppressors too The suppressor for it is quite large makes the gauss rifle look even more baller in 3rd person. I think mine was originally a unique for opening the armoury in the castle? And came with 50% extra limb damage. I recently installed a mod that let's you add unique traits to guns via the workbench, but added a "legendary chip" as the item required which you can only get from other legendaries. So the 40+ legendary boards and loving tire irons I had saved away went to making a gauss rifle which does double damage when the target is at full health. Then a combat shotgun with the 25pts of explosive damage. Between those two guns I'm generally choosing if I want an enemy's head to explode or for their limbs to blow off  , everything dies in 1-2 shots. I badly need a mod that triples or quadruples enemy spawn counts now.

Nothing, you can acomplish the same by loading up on drugs and booze and sluring orders to people to move to another settlement before the high wears off. I have like almost 30 people at the starlight, all provisioners.

Settlement building does become quite a bit more satisfying when you view yourself as a manorial slave-driver than some nerd trying to make the wasteland a nice place.

I appreciate the authenticity of Bethesda female character design on display there. In most RPGs you get the option to design a character after how you might want to look. or at least look for a while. Not Bethesda. Here I get myself. plain and shapeless as white bread.

So I'm currently helping the Railroad and doing the Underground Undercover quest. It says to continue working with father, and I'm at the part where you have to retrieve the synths from Bunker Hill. I warned the Railroad about it, and Desdemona told me to kill the courser and leave no one alive. But when I kill the courser it tells me that I failed the quest, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do I just continue the quest like normal or what am I supposed to do?

You still need to go into Bunker Hill I think and tell the synths to escape? But after that you should get a mission prompt to go back and talk to Father. The real weird thing to me on that one was that I had taken to helping the Railroad, but I had no interaction with the BoS at all after meeting Danse for the first time. So when all of a sudden Bunker Hill became a big 3-way fight I was really confused.

After you work through Danse's issues you get Tactical Thinking, once you speak to Captain Kells then you're hostile with the Railroad whether you accept or decline. Also having Tactical Thinking in your questlog breaks some Railroad radiant questgivers but that might get patched. In the BoS questline the Railroad are first to go.

I don't know about the Railroad or the Institute but that's where the BoS side splits. I haven't played that far in the other factions yet but I hear there's a popup or a warning of some kind. The BoS vs Railroad is really out of the blue though.

Of course not- if you leave you lose the mission and the settlement takes some damage. Why would the game let you do something that fun?

can you exit the mass fusion building once you've teleported there from the institute? I didn't know there was a rad-heavy section in there, and want to get my power armor for it. also the enemies after you get the berylium container are incredibly tough.

Also, if you don't want to exterminate the Railroad, don't talk to Lancer Captain Kell. Instead, go do the Institute questline until you get the quest "Mass Fusion". Choose to rat the Institute out to the Brotherhood and you'll get "Spoils of War", which continues the Brotherhood questline. This is just in case you really like Glory and Deacon and don't want to kill them.
