FO2 Unarmed

[Silencer]

Fight them bare handed, of course.

It's cool, even if you switch to Unarmed late in the game, encased in power armour and such. If you get all the right perks and upgrades, they won't do much damage anyway.

If you want a challenge try to beat the game with ... the red ryder BB gun .

Should not be that much of a problem, at least compared to the others. With a high SG, high Luck and the Better Criticals perk, you should be able to get by with instant kill criticals. You may have some problems with the larger Enclave patrols.

I always just ran up to them and kicked them to the face. The deatclaw's will not be a problem if you're a Slayer. But then... Enclave Patrol's would be a problem, unless you had a freaking lot of health.

I just started a pure unarmed character today and right now im level 14. Its MUCH easier then i thought it would be and is especially funny when i can insta kill supermutants with a crit to the head doing 30 damage.

*Update- Im now at lvl 19 and I can take out enclave patrols easily by basically knocking each one down then beating their unconsous bodies until they die . For some reason whenever I fight people 50% just run away at start.

I'm doing this now, the beginning was sortof difficult, since I play with the 1.5 unofficial path which makes everyone with a firearm ignore my armor half the time while I had trouble doing more than 4 damage to Tyler's(?) gang in the Den, but it's lots of fun and challenging if you've played the normal game too often before.

I took out 3 out of 4 boxing challengers with a single punch at lvl 13... 2 of them dead by 3 damage criticals wich send their brains flying. Better criticals is fun.

Yes, unarmed is so much fun. I haven't gotten to the power armor fights yet, but I took out Metzger at lvl 3 (lots of saving/reloading though) just by aiming shots til the head until i knocked everyone out...then beat the crap out of their eyes =)

Most fights are really easy, as with better criticals i usually get KO or instakill. For perks i agree with the other guys build above, but you should get HtH evade as soon as you can because it adds 1/12 of your Unarmed skill to your AC. Very handy.

For chasing ppl down, if you have KO'ed them or blinding them they will run as soon as you enter combat. Teh solution is to use sneak and get as close as possible then enter combat.
