Early Game, ie 1-10
------------------------
Short Range Stopping power: Shotguns, I guess its kind of cheating but i like the Sturdy Caravan shotgun. Granted i'm partial to the shotgun surgeon perk and magnum buckshot. If you didnt have that something like lucky could work or better yet "That Gun" once u get to Novac. For energy weapons honestly its got to be plasma. ideally a plasma rifle which u can get as early as nipton. In my EW game i was pleased to see that i could 1S1K the nightkin in REPCONN from steath with a stock plasma rifle.
Reach out and snipe someone level 1-6 scoped silenced varmit rifle. fantastic little gun. as soon as your able head for the ratslayer. best low level gun in the game. Bar none if u ask me. while i always keep the ratslayer around if nothing else because of its combo of crit chance, silence and scope once u have the option to move to a hunting rifle, do it ... the difference in stoping power is pretty much night and day. I'm not much for energy weapons but in the games where i did use them i found that a laser rifle, preferably scoped was my favorite energy weapon outside of the Guass rifle. great early sniping weapon. even without the scope it has a great zoom. overall i like a fully moded laser even better then the unique
General Use Gun This is your general use gun. Ideally something with a good combination of armor penetration and rate of fire. something sturdy and cheap to maintain. with ample ammo. I know some folks like the cowboy repeater i'm just not a fan. for me i prefer (now that its not awful) the service rifle. sure something like the 9mm SMG does more damage, and 9mm rounds are certainly easy to come by but the better range and nice clip size and quick reload of the service rifle wins it for me.
What do u guys like?
