    Never forget the two best legendary weapons: Ghoul slayer gamma gun and medic's fat man.

    • @fluffyunicorn3907
      @fluffyunicorn3907 7 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      thankfully ive been lucky to never get one of those weapons in the hundreds of hours I put into fo4

      @DatMageDoe 7 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      I found a Ghoul Slayer's Gamma Gun, no joke. Got it in the Radioactive Sea or whatever it's called. As for the Medic's Fat Man, the Medic's modifier can't be spawned in at all.

      I've gotten three. On one account. I've also gotten cavaliers leather left leg 4 times. My only lucky thing was during the Cassie dalton quest in FH I got a two shot guass rifle and a instigating hunting rifle.

    A Defiant Harppon Gun. "Last shot in your magazine does dubble damage", it only has 1 harppon in the chamber so it'll always do double damage

    • @videogamerization
      @videogamerization 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      yea but you have to reload after each shot wich takes a while good weapon tho so I kind of agree but it's only good for that perfect situation. :)

    • @RiddckNL
      @RiddckNL 7 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      videogamerization the reload isn't that bad really. When you're using power armor you can take the damage until you can fire again. It's usually a 1 shot kill

    • @MultiNerevar
      @MultiNerevar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      too bad defiant is restricted from all heavy weapons :) the RANGED weapons category excludes these weapons. and since both the fatman and harpoon gun count as heavy weapons well. it doesnt exist without cheating :)

      @phillip_james77 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      mickeybill its insane I've been lucky. I killed a low level legendary ghoul at level like 10 give or take a couple. and it dropped with an explosive sniper rifle. then not too long after I killed a legendary gunner, he dropped an explosive assault rifle witch is so amazing. more per shot damage then spray and pray but shoots slower. so probably relatively close in performance. and as mentioned above spray and pray... point is tho I only have one character play through, and I just hit level 60. so kinda crazy...

    • @Pun1237

    • @BlazinBlz
      @BlazinBlz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      On one play-through I have an Explosive Combat Shotgun, on another I have a Two Shot Combat Shotgun, both are opaf, on the one with the Two Shot, my higher level, first play-through, I also have a Two Shot Laser Rifle, I dunno why I got so lucky with those two characters

  • @spicymilkshake6600
    @spicymilkshake6600 7 ปีที่แล้ว +224

    The two shot effect is still really good.

    • @Tedesche
      @Tedesche 7 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      Amen! Yes, not as good as it's description suggests, and it does decrease accuracy and increase recoil (which it's description doesn't even mention), but in practice it's still insanely good.

    • @nikolafeschiev3399
      @nikolafeschiev3399 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    • @MurkyWaters677
      @MurkyWaters677 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I agree. Two shot is great. The accuracy and recoil becomes meaningless if you use a VATS build with high luck.

    • @spicymilkshake6600
      @spicymilkshake6600 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mystogan .Ravenheart Yeah, it most games I just get the Overseer's Guardian since it's a guaranteed two shot, and then make it semi automatic.. I prefer the calibrated powerful receiver because .45 ammo is really rare, and the extra critical damage is useful especially if you have alot of agility and or luck. To me it's 100% worth it you have the rifleman or commando perk.

    @BatteryEST 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Explosive is really OP. I have it on my minigun which I named Carpet Bomb. it kills a legendary deathclaw in a few seconds. especially useful against groups. Just aim at the general direction and the whole area is full of explosions.

  • @thefakebanette3483

    • @MultiNerevar
      @MultiNerevar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      you may aswell have said : I AM CHEATING! this weapon cannot drop without mods/cheats. as all heavy weapons cannot get 2 shot. the big boy is the only exception since its a handplaced UNIQUE.

    • @MachineMan-mj4gj
      @MachineMan-mj4gj 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well, cheating as far as the Unified Clothing Overhaul mod for PS4 will let me. It's a cool mod, but super easy to break the game, since by level fifty I was wearing ballistic weave everything, and custom built legendary armor and weapons. Basically I was/am invincible.

    • @necrogenesis1981
      @necrogenesis1981 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Isn't the big boy modifiable with a 12 shot? That's ridiculous.

    • @MrMuscle2006
      @MrMuscle2006 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I love how you just ignored the comment you were responding too and just went off on a rant about a two shot fat man. Two shot doesn't equal never ending and Fatman doesn't equal missile launcher.

    • @MultiNerevar
      @MultiNerevar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yeah that 2 shot was a typo couldnt fix it anymore when i noticed it. meant to say never ending. nonetheless it still is the same in the end. as never ending obeys the same restrictions as 2 shot does since both are forbidden on random heavy weapon drops.
      but yes fatman DOES equal missle launcher in terms of restrictions as both are heavy weapons and thus obey the same legendary restriction rules. so they are equal in that regard. as each gun falls into a category and these categorys tell the game what the RNG is allowed to add to them via legendarys and what not.
      fun fact about ballistic weave overhaul mod : its basicly just for looks. it doesnt make youre character stronger :) it just looks like this from the numbers you see on the pip boy. but higher resistence in this game is largely totally worthless. once you have 250 resistence there is basicly no difference anymore which is also why power armor offers little advantage in terms of raw dmg protection in this game. you dont get anymore invicible then vanilla from this mod. unlike the legendary weapon crafting it doesnt break balance at all.
      basicly at 250 resistance you already have 73% mitigation total. 85% is the HARDCAP. you cannot exceed that hardcap or you would become immune to dmg. at 500 resistence you only gained a total of about 5% mitigation which is also why battered fedora and other 2 hats where never fixed by bethesda as they dont really affect balance and are only minor bugs. since the total gain from them is less than 5% youll not even notice the difference most of the time.
      at 1000 resistence you have 83% mitigation already. at 1200 youre capped at 85%. basicly : x01 power armor is worthless defense wise (aside from rads). and yet still players think thier 1800 resistence helps them somehow which is sad. for example a normal chest armor only piece with the dense mod protects you better from explosives than ANY power armor without explosive shielding could ever do.

    • @eboomer84
      @eboomer84 7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      +Eric P - Spray and pray is amazing if you are invested in commando and demolitions expert perks, if you can take care around the splash damage, and if you have the ammo. It kills targets SOOOO fast. It's especially good against ghouls and mierlurks. Aim at the ground in front of a mierlurk so you aren't hitting their armored shells. Also a quick spray on a nest of eggs makes the annoying hatchlings a non-issue. For ghouls, just spray at their feet, and their legs blow off. Then you can walk up and take your time finishing them off with melee, a pipe pistol, or whatever. Even if it's a legendary. It's also great against grouped up enemies. It's a lot of fun. But even besides all that, just the raw DPS is pretty great. It just isn't very precise or ammo efficient.
      Though yes, the kilaton is better, other than the smaller clip, which is just a touch smaller than I'd like. Still a substantial improvement overall.

    • @ratboy4036
      @ratboy4036 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +eboomer84 But when i talk about survival mode can you say The same then
      FUCK NOOOOOOO

    • @eboomer84
      @eboomer84 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Mattias Thelin - Nobody mentioned survival mode in this comment thread, we don't all play in that mode, and this video isn't about the best legendary modifiers specifically for survival mode. But if you're playing survival, then probably melee or sniping is the way to go, and a LOT of otherwise viable weapons and items become bad choices. It's practically an entirely different game. I played on the old survival difficulty, but when I tried the new mode, it was intense at first, but I just found the constant idiot lights and menu navigation to be annoying, overly slow, and immersion breaking. Plus it's more fun with fast travel IMO, and the game is too unstable (at least with mods installed) to not have quicksave.
      Different strokes. But spray n' pray is fun, and can be hugely effective in any difficulty other than survival.

    @willmarsden7657 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I got a 'Knee-Capper Pipe Rifle' early in my playthrough once - the thing was a life-saver in earlier levels, and still helps with my limited armoury to this day. The rifle has a 20% chance of instantly crippling an opponents legs (no matter their health), and sustained fire completely immobilises them. It works well against Melee enemies (I.e. It puts Death Claws and Glowing Ones down for execution (and they can't do shit!)), and has helped me stop a Legendary Gunner Commander taking a full set of Power Armour (the mutation can't help the immobilised sap) - however, the best was when it put down the Mirelurk Queen in the Castle, with the last Minutemen just finishing it off.
    I can't remember where I found it, and haven't seen a weapon like it since, but I remember my legs were crippled instantly when I faced the Raider with it.
    The only Pipe Weapon I can still rely on.

    • @fireblast133

  • @Actalzy
    @Actalzy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Great video but I feel you forgot to mention and/or take into account the one big drawback of the explosive effect. The fact that in close range or tight quarters the explosions can actually damage and in some cases kill you just as easily as the enemy. It is only really good at mid to long ranges.

    @maxretrofitted7785 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    In my current minuteman general play through I found a laser musket with the penetrating effect. I gotta say that is one hell of an underrated legendary effect, ignores 30% of resistances. Idk what type of weapon it would be best on but I modded my laser musket to 6 cranks, recon scope, large stock with a long single fire barrel. I call it the General's Revenge. Not sure the exact damage output because of the resistance buff and having the rifleman perk but it is by far the best sniper I have used, one hits most enemies at my current level (48) and its even effective against high level monsters which usually have a lot of resistances. Just wanted to throw it out there, in my opinion it's under rated but definitely one of the most devastating effects that could be versatile for a lot of different weapons and styles.

  • @lynxsies9117

      @christophercollins3632 ปีที่แล้ว

      Deadeye is also amazing for parkour. Because it’s actually speeding you up. Tap aim to initiate the effect, then quickly do a running jump. You’ll go 4 times farther than normal.
      It also messes with enemy AI, if you’re sneaking. It’s like they stop “seeing” you when it triggers. A sneak build is made even better.

    #1 is kneecapper. Easily. It works on every weapon, and is relevant every step of the way, no matter your level. Even for melee.
    #2 is Deadeye. This one does so much. It’s like having an 8 second dose of Jet at will. Amazing for snipers, shotguns, obviously, but it’s more than that. It’s amazing for parkour, and sneaking.
    Deadeye actually super speeds you up, even though things seem slower. Trigger the effect, then do a running jump, and you jump 4x farther. It’s a whole new world out there when you can parkour like a god at will.
    Deadeye also messes with enemy Sneak AI. When you sneak, the enemy can hear you, and the sneak meter gets closer to being in caution/danger. But Deadeye stops them from “seeing” you, and you can sneak much more effectively, without raising the meter closer to caution/danger.
    Fine, fine, #1 is Deadeye, #2 is Kneecapper. I love Deadeye so much
    As far as doing damage, bleed wins, because it’s available also on melee.

    • @Tedesche
      @Tedesche 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Came here to point this out too. WTF??? Instigating is THE sniper legendary; it's insanely powerful in the hands of a proper stealth build. Plenty of the legendaries on this list are only really decent on automatic weapons-why not include the ones that make the most of semi-auto weapons? Hell, despite the fact that the Two Shot legendary isn't as good as it's description suggests, in practice, it's still easily one of the best legendary effects in the game.
      I love FudgeMuppet to death, but in all honesty, this list was very incomplete.

    • @stanners1714
      @stanners1714 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      DArcanine they said at the beginning they took into consideration how many weapons the effect benefits, so while instigating is amazing on sniper, gauss and other high damage low fire rate weapons, I kind of sucks on the rest of the guns in the game

    • @ricky_rue_official2150
      @ricky_rue_official2150 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Stanners True, but theres only two practical late-game "types" of guns- hard hitting single shot or automatic. Plus, instigating is right up with vats enhanced on melee weapons. For a stealth build, it is hands down the best option.

  • @MultiNerevar
    @MultiNerevar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    there is a bunch of false information in this video. you might wanna fix these.
    first : many players dont know this : EXPLOSIVE IGNORES ballistic resistence just like wounding. only that it does the dmg instantly and not over time. once you have the perk maxed this outperformas wounding on ANY weapon by a mile which can get explosive.
    on others like the gatling laser wounding remains the best as it cannot roll explosive. this is also why the chestarmor mod reduces explosive dmg by a whooping 50!% for one single mod slot. to compensate for normal resistence not effecting it. a wounding shotgun doesnt even come close to a explosive shotgun. also explosive has NO RANGE LIMIT when shooting. it will always travel the maximum distance your game can load. this effect is by far the strongest extra dmg effect.
    its easy to playtest this:. get an a bugged enraged fogcrawler and fire a maxed out nuka nuke fatman at it. it will die if your level is not in the 100s from a single shot. why? because its 4000 ballistic resistence is useless againist explosive dmg. if it would block 85% of the dmg (the cap that armor rating allows in this game no matter how high it is) even 3 shots from the launcher shouldnt kill the crawler. but one shot already does.
    second : furious on a PLASMA THROWER does not exist without cheating/mods. furious is a MELEE only prefix. no clue why the wiki still lists it as ALL weapons. that is wrong and should have been fixed ages ago the proof is inside the creation kit lists. the only ranged weapons that have this effect are the 2 handplaced unique weapons in nuka world. randomly dropped ones CANNOT get this effect except if they are melee weapons. so saying its good on a plasma thrower is basicly saying : its good for this gun if you cheat.
    third : the miniguns damage is not tripled. its nearly increased by FIVE times by the explosive effect. as the heavy gunner perk buffs explosive dmg (proof rocket launcher and fatman) just like demolition expert does and these 2 perks STACK. a normal minigun with lone wanderer and bloddy mess has 23 dmg (no mods) while a explosive minigun with the bobblehead and demoexpert maxed and the magazine from nuka world (another 5% more explosive dmg) boosts the minigun to over 112! dmg. that is definitly more than tripled. way more. so its false info aswell.

      @sanzuriver2959 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rocket Launcher and Fatman Launcher gets damage boosts from heavy gunner not because they are explosives, it's because they are heavy weapons... They do get damage boost from both Heavygunner and Demolition Expert, but for different reasons.
      So no, Explosive legendary is not affected by Heavygunner unless a Heavy weapon is the base weapon.

    • @jarekmarcinek7303
      @jarekmarcinek7303 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      nerevar Explosive legendary weapons do not ignore armor rating, (base explosive weapons like the fat man might, but not legendary weapons) explosive legendary weapons calculate the resistance of the base damage type of the weapon. For example an explosive combat rifle's explosive damage is reduced by damage resistance, the standard damage type of the weapon.
      Also, the minigun's damage is tripled by the explosive effect without perks, from 8 to 23. With perks it is more, but the base weapon is only tripled

    • @BoredErica
      @BoredErica 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The damage reduction cap in Fallout 4 is not 85%. You can test this easily by setting an NPC to have 9999 armor rating, force HP to 1000, fire a pistol, get health, set armor rating to 99999, force HP to 1000, fire, get health. You will see that damage received decreases as you go past 10,000.
      Explosive damage from explosive legendary ARE affected by damage resistance. Why you'd test the effect of Spray n Pray for example with a Fat Man is sort of beyond me as they are two different weapons. You could've just tested with the weapon you're trying to figure out. Take Spray and Pray on a new character fresh out of the vault, set HP/dr/er to 10000 and fire once on a bloatfly, and you will see you did almost 0 damage. Which A) again kills your notion that DR is capped at 85% and B) Kills your notion that explosive damage bypasses damage reduction. Had it ignored dr you would've expected beyond 10 damage because the explosive damage alone exceeds that.
      Probably the reason why defensive mods against explosives exist is because it does such high damage per attack. You'd be walking along and somebody uses a missile launcher or throws a grenade before you can dodge it and it's game over. On Survival that means backtracking like mad, and that extra damage explosives do is multiplied by a big amount. It's the difference between being randomly one shotted out of nowhere vs being able to get hit and retreat.

    I know I am years late to this, but for me, two shot guns tend to be my workhorse weapons in game. They are never going to be the best gun for a given situation, but often they are a good gun for any situation. Extra damage from the second bullet always goes into effect regardless of the enemy type, time of day, how chemed up/withdrawn you are. All you have to do is hit the target, and even the extra spread and recoil is manageable in vats or if you aim down sights.

    @V86falcon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I get why you didn't want to go into any of the double damage weapons like Two Shot, Instigating, Lucky, Nocturnal, or Junkie as a few examples. Your video was short and those legendary effects all are complicated to explain which one is best and how to benefit the best. Two shot is the base damage but it really helps out for an automatic weapon because automatic receivers lower the base damage (Though the western revolver isn't bad). Instigating weapons are good for solo stealth builds and strong weapons that can instant kill (in one shot) like the guass rifle but lucky is better for a luck build as the saved criticals will do more damage in quick succession (4-5 critical shots with a lucky weapon do more damage than an instigating weapon). Junkie you gotta be addicted to everything to benefit the most so stats are lowered unless you are on all the stuff (expensive and hard to find) and the other ones you gotta wait to fight at either specific day or night time hours. I mentioned Nocturnal because your perception gets increased with the perk which makes shooting at a distance in vats easier, arguably daytime is better with the right perks for the health regeneration and strength boost if going melee. Defiant the last round one works all the time as long as it's in something that only shoots one round or can be used every other round in a double barrel shotgun but also the slow time one is fun if you have no plan to use nerd rage (again complicated).
