best weapon???

Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Gauss gun for sniping, and the best energy rifle for close quarters (the one you can find in the BOS bunker in SanFran).

For RP badassery I go for combo of sniper rifle/.223 pistol.

Keep an extra .223 pistol for close-in.

That way you can swap to full one and have 10 shots total before reloading.


Two .44 revolvers with fastloader is good, too.

I take a gauss rifle and plasma rifle. Good long range/ low ap cost combo. Not to mention they kill almost anything.
does this work

Amen. IIRC the .223 pistol got me through about half of the first game, and then it was sniper rifle the rest of the way through, except for the time I found the Alien Blaster.

The .223 carried me through most of the game! Later on when i got my hands on some larger weaponary i found myself using the gatling laser quite a bit! has to be the best one in FO2

Even though Tictacs doesnt count, i have to admit i enjoyed the Browning M2 with depleted uranium shells!

Super Mutant team members are a pain to keep alive, but with Fast Shot, Bonus Rate of Fire, Bracing (I think), 3 APs are removed from firing. And you can have an M2 in each hand. Throw in Quick Pockets and that is a very destructive Mutant.
With Ag10, or psycho/Action Boy you can get 3-4+ bursts/turn.

Fat-man. Best weapon in the 3rd game. Also fits in the setting, you'll see.
