I am level 40. I just got to Diamond City.

I have some Macready bro as a companion tho I prefer my dog for lone wanderer.

Met the railroad and they want me to meet up with some dude deacon.

Met the brotherhood. They want me to do some missions for them but this dude was a prick and yelled at me cuz I walked close to him.

Just took back the castle.


10mm pistol is prob my go to but i am regularly out of ammo for it. Have grognaks axe a pipe pistol. A relatively weak rifle. A very weak shotgun. A laser pistol and a laser rifle.


Have this quad missile also but I dont use it much.

Cryolator is out of ammo = (


What should I be doing or how should I be getting better?

Let's discuss Fallout!

Yeah maccready's bonus is like broken, it's so good. But he's such a shit character it's almost not worth it.

Did you get his side mission yet? That has to be completed to Max him out

The first railroad mission gives you the gun that I used for the majority of the game. I also played a stealth/vats build so it may not be as useful for you

I think there's a second part of his mission but he needs to like you enough

Fun fact if you haven't realized it; MacCready actually appears as a child in Fallout 3 (he was the mayor of Little Lamplight).

Also, I personally went with the Railroad. Characters there are just a lot more interesting imo

Got a good bit of magazines and bobbleheads.

Deathclaw in Museum of Witchcraft ate up all my cryolator ammo = /

Wasn't deliberate. More of I got sidetracked lol. Covenant ate a lot of my time up cuz the damn quest glitched sort of.

Every companion offers a unique perk if you max them out.

The best gun is the one you spec into. If you go automatic then make all your guns auto. Rifles? Stick to rifles. Etc.

Get the scrounger perk. It maxed out really helps you find ammo. THe max perk also has a chance to refill your mag when you use the clip/magazine. If you are used to reloading constantly then break that practice.

Yeah, I found the Deliverer pretty early and then built around it. I also only played vanilla with none of the updates so I don't know if they nerfed anything to make my style of play less effective

11 int
11 cha
11 str
10 end
4 per
3 agi
5 luck

2 local leader
4 gunslinger
3 hacking
3 lockpicking
2 idiot savant
1 in +carry weight
1 in science
1 in lone wanderer

I forget after that. I am 37 and not 40 tho.

Think I got like 6 bobbleheads and 30ish magazines.

Been cycling weapons to keep up ammo. I recently just started using lasers some.and they seem to do a lot of damage.

I got this 5.5mm or ehatever rifle the other day and I have like 2000 rounds of that so I might start using that for awhile. I use my axe a lot also.

5mm chainguns will lose ammo fast. 2k 5mm wont last long at all. The best weapon to ammo ratio is probably gatling lasers since they use fusion cores for ammo and you can find a LOT of cores if you dont use power armor.

Your build is kind of weird. You have 11 int and idiots savant. I mean it'll proc but way less than if you had even half that much int.

Low agi and luck means you cant take some of the better perks down the line that really help with crits and sneak, damage. Your high ass strength means you can probably swing a melee weapon real good though.

I believe high luck only affects how many caps you find in stashes and stuff. While the scrounger perk really REALLy gives you a lot of ammo. Enough to where you'll find it easy to swap to other guns and never really run the risk of running out.

I've used VATS in Fallout 4 almost not at all. The fact that it doesn't actually stop time like before doesn't make it very tactical and I didn't build my character entirely around it.

Higher int makes idiot savant proc less frequently

Mod the shit out of your guns. Do whatever you gotta to make sure you can mod your weapons to the fullest. I think laser weapons take 6 int. While the others are like 4 or 5 in their respective areas.

I thought luck made more valuable loot more likely.

I was hoping to proc an idiot savant randomly on a quest turn in. Hasn't happened yet but I did proc it on a sentry bot kill yesterday.

Basically if I see a stat bobblehead I stop and go level to 10 for that stat before picking it up. But. I accidentally took the percept one when I saw it.


I was planning on 5ing gunslinger. Melee and big guns.

But, I dunno. I kinda want lifegiver's auto regen also. Oh I have 1 in bloody mess also.

I would have played it more if my game hadn't crashed right when I completed the main quest. And then I reloaded to before I made a big pivotal decision, and went for a different ending, and got the same thing. And then...

Yeah, PC versions of Bethesda games always have issues. Surprisingly nobody had a solid bug fix or patch for that.
