(non-energy) has been removed from the title, usually I just copy titles over and change the first part, but I was tired enough to forget what was in the parentheses!
While I have your attention, PATREON HUAH: www.patreon.com/CaedoGenesis
It was funny you should have left it like that
You could use the ammo hotkey glitch to get more ammo for the alien blaster
also the holo rifle is not like a pump action shotgun as such, its modeled after the china lake pump action grenade launcher, and it works more like the grenade launcher in the germs that its not having any pellet spread, but a collected clump of holo squares
The holorifle damage out put is 150 105 plus 15 for 3s because 15dmg for 3s is a maximum of 45dmg and I think the effect also stacks
@@REALPEDROGAMEPLAYS You beat me to it. XD I'm so blessed that Obsidian left that hotkey ammo glitch in the game. :D
If you want the most damage per MF Cell then you go Holorifle, if you want the best DoT you go Holorifle, if you want the best style you go Holorifle, if you want most fun you go Holorifle, if you want the most Holorifle you go Holorifle.
Holorifle all the way
Id use the holorifle but that means Dead Money so fuck that
Agreed holorifle is the best gun for me too , for anyone who want hate dead money but want to make it much more easier I recommend getting the blood sausage perk it really change your game
@@maxboripat Not needed, the ones who hate Dead Money already have a sausage up their ass
Rattlehead - Dead Money sucked. Still played through it, on the other hand and got everything.
"strongest energy weapons!"
(non energy)
am confused
It's a nod about a bug in one of the perks which checks for "energy" as a condition to activate, but the damage of energy weapons is tagged "energyweapon" in the game files, so the perk never activates.
@@ajguevara6961 thats pretty cool
@@ajguevara6961 lol what's the name of the perk?
@@corvus6178 It's called "in shining armor". That perk is supposed to boost your Damage Threshold whenever you're hit with lasers or plasma while you're wearing metal armor. But it's bugged, so it doesn't do anything.
I was tired when I added the title, fixed!
New Vegas till this day is still fun.
What happened on that day that made it not fun anymore?
yep reason why I installed it again after 2 years of not playing it, with mods its even more fun
@@Zero_Steel You're right.
The funniest.
Yes, except for dead money
I still like the AE14 Prototype. The green beam is cool 😹
Right!!
Why get one green beam if you can get a thousand? Take the Sprtel Wood 9000.
Always went for it when the mission came up 😋
Logan Brown I do get that one too! XD
Nice! That’s one of my favorites
I always loved how in the Fallout world, Winchester, a company known for wild-west shotguns, designed a plasma rifle :D It's like hearing that 0ldsmobile was responsible for the Vertibird :D
I mean Nintendo started as a trading card company in the late 1800s. So it's a real life example of a company simply evolving with the times like Winchester did in the Fallout lore.
Glock also created a plasma pistol.
@@kittycatdreamz i think he's senile by now
Also it might be my ape brain that completely avoids the great war (the first one) and i always just think of Winchester as the John Browning lever action company
Colt made the 10m pistol
I never actually realized the C-Finder was an *orbital laser marker*, I always thought it was just a joke
I always thought that It call down the power of Zeus or something.
@Афанасий Сырков nerd
@Афанасий Сырков I was about to point out the math and that Euclid is as in Euclidian geometry. Thank you!
The "weapon" simply solves a triangle. A being the satellite, B being the power plant, C is where you aim the thing, uses Euclids to calculate point C. Thus, it finds the position of C and aims the beam there. Poof, no more whatever formerly occupied point C.
@@SporkOfDestruction goddamn the Devs were beautiful nerds
Афанасий Сырков too bad the gun is bugged as hell and is unusable
“The alien blaster has finite ammo”
Me an intellectual: equips a common ammo type to a hot key.
Me a mad lad: equips mini nukes or missiles in hot key with the warhead laser detonator from lonesome road dlc.
Ok but how is that done on console
@@fellout2555 you put the mini nukes into a hot key and then while you have the laser detonator you press the hotkey, their is a little trick to get used to while putting the nukes into your hotkey, but it's simple nonetheless and their are good tutorials online
@@nathansowers1120 I suppose that works with any ammo?
@@fellout2555 I'm pretty sure, I know it works with a hell of a lot of them, personal favorite is the big kid nukes because it fires 5 of them, but also some ammo doesnt fire it just fires blanks, so you really just have to test and see
The C-Finder is quite a let down. Such a build up in the lore; The effect looks great; and with such restrictions; the damage is just so disappointing.
It's a glorified stick of dynamite late game lol 😂but looks cool and knocks people over so that's cool ..
@@brocks692
Lol a 15 weight stick of Dynamite?
Anyway legendary name my man!
@@Geelar I agree with you that being an orbital strike marker the damage should be way higher. But probably the developers tweak the damage down so you wouldn't go against Lanius and just "boom" him with it. True, there is still the Fat Man and ton other ways to do the same thing (especially with the DLCs Lanius is more a joke than anything in the end), but pretty sure that was the intention in the vanilla game when it comes to this gun. Still, I love to use it in specific situation, like when you are in the Hoover Dam battle and come across the legion or NCR covering behind the sandbags barriers, love to use it there either to kill them or knock them over the dam with the blast ;)
The C-Finder should have the same power as the archimedes defense system beam, so it wouldn't be completey useless and broken.
If you're on PC, this mod buffs the C Finder considerably (x10 to be exact).
I liked the Q-35 Matter Modulator unique plasma rifle a lot too. It's got very high attack speed, is lighter, has the second most energy weapon durability in the game. It offsets the demand for high accuracy. Having a plasma rifle that shoots really fast, while maintaining a 50% higher dps than a normal one is great. Also it's projectiles move twice as fast when compared with standard plasma rifles.. It can be found in the REPCONN Headquarters.
Madalin Grama no disrespect, but I have to disagree. If you run a crit build, the Q-35 has a higher critical chance than the ELAER (which has pitiful crit damage) and even with laser commander it does more damage per shot than the ELAER or AER14, its top competitors. I've done the math, and laser commander doesn't make enough of a difference to make any of the weapons it affects significantly better than the super durable Q-35.
Also plasma spaz is a great perk with the Q-35; it has a high AP cost so taking plasma spaz and action boy help a lot. Wile I could be wrong, it doesn't seem like you've given the Q-35 a fair shot, and you really should, it's a fantastic midrange weapon
Edit: sneak attack criticals double your normal critical damage so the Q-35's insane crit damage of 93 with better criticals becomes monstrous.
Top it all off its red too
God yes, on my first run the Q-35 absolutely carried me through OWB due to the absolute insane crit damage you get from sneaking and all the crit perks.
As if the amazing specs, fascinating story behind the weapon's creation, and its home location being related to Arcade Gannon and ED-E's companion quests weren't enough, its name is a Looney Tunes reference.
It is red and I am pretty sure it references Marvin the Martian
Not a weapon per say but the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF AN ENERGY WEAPONS BUILD is the VIGILANT RECYCLER perk! the Optimized ammo does 30% more damage with improved armor penetration for 10% more wear and tear, and crafting energy weapon ammo is easy because there's no additional ingredients needed.
That perk is so good it breaks my mind when people don't take it in their builds, who turns turns down over 30% more damage from a single perk?
Because Max charge is more damage and you don't need to waste a perk
@@ravennstiress3836 Max Charge also increases durability loss by 250%, so in addition to spending more time making repairs you spend more money making a less efficient ammo. Also Opt ammo weighs a lot less than other types of ammo for hardcore playthroughs.
@@AngryCosmonaut *laughs in fully upgraded ED-E*
@@AngryCosmonaut
Weapon condition isn’t really an issue though for characters with the jury rigging perk, or with a ton of caps. With that spare perk slot, you can get something more useful for energy weapons, like meltdown or laser commander, or just get something else that specks into a different part of your build, like say mad bomber.
@@courier6960 Meltdown is a situational perk that damages you more often than it damages enemies. Yeah, I'll take the perk that gives me more damaging, lighter, easier to make armor piercing ammo AND makes drained ammo drop more frequently AND makes recycling more efficient. I mean which would you take at level 6: Bloody Mess for 5% more damage or VR for >30%.
Off topic, Jury Rigging is really only helpful for armor, the Weapon Repair Kit Recipe from the Dead Money Police Station can keep any weapon repaired easily.
Energy weapons: *exist*
Old world blues: we can make them better! Faster! Stronger!
And have 1.5% more durability!!
Despite ammo being rare once you actually dump skill points into energy weapons and take critical, vats, and of course energy weapon perks they become the most over powered broken shit in the game
Me who's putting 100 into guns and energy, medicine and speech.
Till you have ash and goo piles all over the place
@@jonathangriffiths2787 a small price to pay for *PSHHHHHHH*
@@noivern8869 till your game consistently crashes
Lonesome Road's nuked zones are utterly LOADED with specialist ammo, and looting all 3 often nets more than 3,000 Over and Max Charge of each type of energy ammo.
Well, Holorifle is probably one of the most cost-efficient high damage energy weapons. After all it deals 105 damage per MFC. I used mostly it during my first playthroughs. In comparison, number 1 and number 2 in the list deals only 35 per MFC. Number 3 deals pathectic 22,5 damage per MFC.
Also, no matter the durability level, the holorifle never jams
Exactly. I'm not a fan of videos where its direct damage comparisons and no mentions of the other perks weapons carry. Holorifle is better than all of the weapons he listed ahead of it
Weird list
Exactly. If you're going to war, you may wish to bring something else, but if you're doing regular ome-foe-at-a-time killing, nothing beats the Holorifle.
The Holorifle is legit one of my top 5 video game weapons. I don't know what is, exactly, there's just something about the look and feel, and lore, of that weapon that really works for me.
Its a mixture of parts of other weapons and the holograpic tech from old World blues
@@accelerator8558 We all know that. That’s not new, I wasn't ignorant of basic facts about its in-universe context and useage.
@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 its quite great its good afther 3 years you are still alive, keep the good work, also time to re play again, i few videos whit stuff i didnt notice
My favorite was the fully upgraded laser rifle with a high luck crit build. Large magazine and fire rate just makes it a crit machine.
Caedo Genesis: Get your mind out of the gutter.
Big MT: pEnIs fEeT!
“ARE THOSE... PENISES I SEE WRIGGLING ON ITS FEET? DISGUSTING.”
“NOW IT'S HOLDING UP AN ARRAY OF FULLY-ERECT HAND PENISES. IF IT TRIES TO INSERT THEM, ACTIVATE VIVISECTORS.”
The Tri-Beam sounds like it’d be better in almost every metric than the Multiplas due to the convergent effects of Laser Commander and the various other Crit related perks.
Yeah but the list just looks at the DAM number. Not the DPS, not how good it is as per utility.
For example: I would swear on everything holy that the unique GRA recharger pistol the Hyperbreeder is probably in the top half of the list. This is because it out reaches the sonic emitters range, doesn't eat up ammo like Pew Pew, and isn't locked behind the worst DLC like the Holorifle.
Like as the video even says. I would be hard pressed to find someone that actually thinks the Tesla Cannons are a good weapon outside of gimmicky things like only using OWB weapons in OWB, so you're limited in the scope of what you can use. But because Tesla Cannons hit like a truck they got the #3 slot and would have taken up multiple if he didn't lock it behind weapon class.
Unfortunately, you're correct, which sucks because the Multiplas is probably my favorite looking energy weapon in the game. At least there's a really fucking good mod that rebalances it into a worthy alternative to the Tri-Beam
The LAER is impressively inaccurate, never have I had a rifle that actively hates me and tries to get me killed
"Onomatopoeia in handheld form" good one caedo.
Dead Money is my favorite DLC of any DLC for any game. I seriously love the story. Actually, I'm considering getting the Ace card with the praying skeleton with a bullethole in the head as a tattoo on my arm.
yes dead money is one of the good examples what a dlc can add to a game.
but one of the best ( if not THE best ) dlc´s is blood an wine/witcher 3.
it adds more than most games vanilla brings in the first place.
It's a pain in the ass to play, but I have to admit the story and characters are very compelling. It is my favorite of the 4 DLCs, even if the gameplay can be aggravating.
I genuinely understand the reasons for why one would dislike Dead Money (I even at least partially agree with some of them)--but Elijah is simply one of the absolute best-written, best-acted characters in video game history, and his presence throughout the DLC makes it IMO the best in-series, without even considering materially "powerful" things like the Holorifle and the Sierra Madre chips.
I had just started a new playthrough Fallout New Vegas where I was going to be an energy weapon wielding female maniac. Thank you lmao!
The unique Q-35 plasma rifle is my fav energy weapon xD
same here my dude, i love the liquidation effect.
Q-35 is the best base game energy rifle.
Mods ofcourse the YK32 pulse rifle is the best.
@@delta2372 What mods are they from?
@@wrath2008 classic fallout weapons
I think it's that prototype plasma weapon you get from taking a tour in a old world weapons factory or something
what about the unique multiplas rifle you can find at robco? you know, the one that fires much faster than the original
yurgon 99999 The q-35 is just a plasma rifle
At Repconn? That thing’s awesome.
@@sneakysteve9942 no the q35 is not just a plasma rifle i think you need to look at it's stats more. it fires faster, uses up less plasma rounds, has higher crit damage, has more item health, does more dps.
saying it's just a plasma rifle is saying it is exactly the same as any other plasma rifle. that's like calling the all american a standard marksmen carbine.
It seems like Cadeo hasn’t actually done a EW build run, because this list is all show and no substance. Including the plasma caster but not the Q-35 is a mistake only someone who looks at the wiki alone would make.
@@demonpride1975 I think he just meant that it’s a plasma rifle, not a multiplas…
Gotta love me that Gauss! I believe there's a mod, or at least a way to fix the weapon with a mod, that removes the graphical effect which causes the VATS bug. There was in Fo3, at least, and I believe the same fix works in New Vegas. Always loved the energy weapons in Fallout, even if I usually start with "small guns" and exclusively use pistols and sniper rifles until I can get my blasters. =3
This is the go to spot to find all my unique weapons in any fallout game even years back. THANK YOU CAEDO!!!!!
The holorifle is probably the best overall energy weapon in the game with the reinforced components bug max charge cells are basically free damage with no downsides
I really love how you handle your top ten videos, telling people where to go to get their weapons and stuff. I can see you going far man!
There are 2 Elijah's LAERs in Big Mountain, I just forget where I found the other one.
One is at the Little Yangtze watch tower. The other is atop the signal hills transmitter. Hope this helps!
My favorite. Great damage and very fast shooting
Where is MF Hyperbreeder Alpha on the list.? The best backup energy weapon and extremely powerful. Or laser rifle with all mods as a sniper rifle. That's my favourite set
I fully agree with this. Both weapons are outstanding. Two of my favorites.
Yup. If you're looking for a one-size-fits-all weapon, you can't go wrong with the fully upgraded vanilla laser rifle.
With equipment like Boone's Beret and Ulysses' Duster, mad luck perks and laser commander, headshots usually ash deathclaws.
"It's dead" is all the base damage I need.
Long range scope.
Decent fire rate.
No recoil.
Long magazine life. 1mf/shot.
Easy to get/recycle ammo.
Just endlessly practical and ruthlessly efficient. The Laser Rifle+.
Because this list is only about pure damage, not about utility. While every Energy Weapon user will tell you the Hyperbreeder is the best EW Sidearm in the game, it's damage is rather low, which is all this list is looking at.
@@luminozero but dat fire rate basically a hand held gatling laser
@@justanothercommenterwithan9089 I find that I use all my shots kinda fast tho
Loved this video! Don't discount the plain old vanilla laser rifle; with all three mods, you've got a he'll of a workhorse that's easy and cheap to maintain, has great ammo efficiency, and can dish out a surprising amount of damage; it can even snipe reasonably well with the scope attached.
On my current play through of fallout nv, I chose the alien blaster. I could’ve chosen the YCS/186, but I had bought the Spetralwood-9700, and I didn’t want to use ally of EC packs. Though they respawn from Gloria, I was intent on using the unique Gatling laser, and didn’t want to run out Of the ammo quick. I use the Anti-Material rifle instead.
I may have misread your reasoning behind not using the YCS, but you could technically use both since the YCS uses MF cells, not ECPs. Not to discount your decision to use the Alien Blaster, but just to make you aware in case you didn’t know :)
Love how you just used the C-finder on the Mercs as the list slowly fills in. It’s like “it’s best not to look”
Cool, this will help my Energy Weapons only playthrough, thanks.
The spread of the tri-beam has always been tight. Missing in VATS causes the crazy spread to make sure you actually miss. And since enemies are just rolling to hit for every shot, like when VATS is used, when they miss, it is an incredibly bad miss.
The YCS/186 with the right build is the most powerful weapon in the game with over 1000 damage per shot and a ridiculous dps aa well.
Also I never knew Tri-Beam had mods for it damn.
The YCS/186 is absolutely amazing for sniper characters as its ammo availability is way higher than the anti material rifle, and its damage is comparable making it the ideal weapon for any stealth inclines energy specialists. Additionally, with the right gear, perks, and special points you can get a 50% crit chance or 60% if using light armor with the light touch perk.
Holo rifle for me, I just love my pump action energy grenade launcher, gives me terminator vibes
I swear by the YCS when doing Energy Weapons builds. Pull that puppy up, pop some Optimized MFCs into it, and watch the bodies fly.
10:20 when you tell your parents a joke and they turn it into how disappointed they are with your life
Very informative video, Caedo! I'm a very seasoned Fallout player with more hours than you'd believe and I still learned a few things. Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!
One note about the Pew-Pew you left out is the fact that it is considered an advanced holdout weapon (meaning you need a sneak of 50 or higher to use it as a holdout weapon) making it the single most powerful holdout weapon in the entire game, and probably the only holdout weapon capable of one-shotting enemies in most areas where you'd be stripped of your weapons in the first place (especially if you have high level energy weapons skills & laser/energy related perks).
Just got fallout recently so im pretty happy this guide came out!
Amazing video, thanks for all the side informations too :D
I've been playing New Vegas for a few weeks now, most of my builds are energy weapon focused, perfect timing :-D
Laser Rifle with beam splitter and focus optics is king in my book. It's so easy to acquire, efficient as hell, starts off strong and only gets better as you progress. I don't even feel the need to utilize the scope most of the time these days, but it's still a nice option to have.
sprtel-wood 9700 is one of the best energy weapons in the game. it does burn through ammo really quick, like most gattling lasers, however, so i would only use it in hard situations. otherwise i use elijah's advanced LAER as a primary weapon, the MP hyperbreeder alpha for easier enemies, due to its decent damage, and its lack of a need for ammunition, and the YCS/186 for sniping people
It's actually quite good to see channels like this keeping fallout new Vegas still relevant after all this years
in terms of DPS id have to go with the gatling laser with the focus optics mod, laser commander perk, and Over charge ammo (as well as some other perks and companion bonuses) which should equate to around 900+ DPS
When I first played New Vegas with the Expansions, my first one was Honest Hearts, also my favorite, and on my way to the quest, I ran into a merchant. Figured 'eh, sure , I'll buy this Tri Beam laser, see how good it is" and the. Also bought all the mods for it, because I got lucky with this traveling merchant. And , boy oh boy, did my opinion on energy weapons change..the feeling of disintegrating enemies that have shown they can and will one shot you, is exhilarating.
So along with my .44, hunting rifle, and medicine stick, you bet I always grab one of those bad boys on my way to Zion, to show those white legs , the power of THREE lasers.
Best melee and unarmed next!! Great list, I might make an energy build next. Thx!
Wow its him! It's Cadeo Genesis! And his legendary Cadeo's countdown!
Not gonna lie, my favourite energy weapon is the bulk standard laser rifle, with all upgrades, and GRA optimised ammo.
Not a powerful energy weapon but a very fun one to use, the Compliance Regulator is a variant of the laser pistol that can paralyze enemies in 2-3 shots.
It's basically a taser gun if you want to play a wastelander cop or something.
Op as fuck against bosses too
@@helloworld4990 and deathclaws!
And it has a pretty blue laser
@@Mothbean Oh yes, absolutely
I didn't know you could get both thanks for telling me about that!
Didn’t know you could get the alien blaster and the gausse rifle in one play through, thank you.
Love the comment about the super mutant and the pew pew, as that's exactly what I did
I use the AER14 prototype. To me it's the most efficient energy weapon in the game hands down. Especially if you use high luck.
If you are okay with using mods, Weapon Mods Expanded allows you to install laser rifle mods to the AER-14 Prototype found in Vault 22. To this day, it is my all time favorite sniping weapon thanks to the scope mod. The sheer critical sneak damage alone often results in most enemies being disintegrated on the first shot.
I did an mad scientist where I only use energy weapons (melee and unarmed optional). I had almost all the energy weapons in this list. I had a BLAST with my playthrough ⚡
The wcx made me actually put points into energy weapons for the first time not a fan of ashing my goes so I love this one for not getting rid of the glorious mess
Lol I mean ycs the gaus rifle
Same here
I just use the regular lazer rifle with the mods. Its a damn good weapon with OC rounds and really can take out 80 to 90 percent of the enemies in the game
Yo, I love you and your guides. Top tier content. Miss this game.
I did not know there was a unique version of the LAER (that also doesn't look like a crude mod weapon)! That would've been great to know for my energy weapon build playthrough; the base LAER became one of my go-to weapons once I visited Big Mountain.
Legit loaded this game up this morning 😂 to perfect
you know this list kinda proves my issue with energy weapons. the early energy weapons like laser rifle and pistol and base plasma is weak compared to guns. but the end game energy weapons are always super freaking strong like wtf . thats a power curve
The YCS, after finding out about it two nights ago, I made a new character and specked into energy weapons and sneak and it’s one of my favorites to use
Subbed! I know this is an old video but your content is really solid.
Don't know if it's been patched out or not, but the bug I have with the Mod for the Holorifle that effects its durability actually makes it so that; if you keep using repair kits on it, you'll actually increase the maximum health of the weapon, meaning that with each use of a repair kit, the Holorifle is able to be shot more times before it breaks. This _is_ on the Xbox 360 (yes I have that version) and for me makes the Holorifle one of the most handy energy weapons for my respective energy weapons builds.
If you repair it to max before applying the mod, it also gains infinite durability
@@doomdoomd9368 Found that out by accident, believe it or not. Being able to use MC ammo for no cost feels amazing.
It's awesome to see that even after almost 10 Years this game is still played. I don't even need to see fallout videos because i played It for thousends of hours and finished It multiple times but i still like to see videos of New Vegas on youtube. 😉
The YCS/186 is my favorite sniper rifle in New Vegas. Such an awesome weapon! :)
Cant wait to do a energy weapon only playthrough
With the right perks, weapons mods, and MAX charge Ammo, The LAER can do well over 160 damage.
Me sees plasma caster also me *H E A V Y N E C R O N B R E A T H I N G*
Reanimation protocols activated
After I got the YCS186, I never had a problem with deathclaws, EVER
There’s a mod that returns the C-Finder to its intended glory. It doesn’t use the wimpy narrow laser anymore, it uses the massive laser used in the defense test.
Doubt you read old comments but the line introducing the pew-pew made me laugh out loud. Needed that :)
I do, and glad to!
Caedo Genesis Caedo Genesis your writing is very fun and refreshing! I’m one of those guys who played a bunch of NV and watched a bunch of “top 10” videos but yours felt so refreshing. I think it was a mix of the great writing with FANTASTIC format and fun gameplay footage and tidbits of interesting stuff.

The automatic recharger pistol, Q35, and the modded laser rifle for sniping are my defaults for energy weapons. The rechager rifle is an underrated gem, too.
I swear I learn something new about New Vegas everyday. I had no idea about the prospector den and a trader will move in. Wow

"Top 10 energy weapons (No Energy)" *facepalm*
Caedo, love you man but this cracked me up
It should be noted that the sonic emitter can be fully repaired for free by simply re-configuring it at the jukebox in the Sink. You don't even have to select a different type, just select roboscorpion and it hands over a pristine replacement ready to go.
One of the coolest combos is meltdown with the tarantula sound setting on the sonic emitter on a crit build. This will make most kills not only explode with molten hot plasma but also cause them to also explode in a ball of fire. Paired with perks like bloody mess you can make most human kills a firework explosion of gore, fire and plasma. Add in some max charged cells for the heck of it and its even a solid energy weapon all together. Not 100% but i think the explosions can have a chain effect if other enemies are caught in the explosion and sense the explosion is energy damage thanks to meltdown it can trigger another meltdown. Would recommend taking the explosive resistance perk so your meltdowns dont kill you. But i mean just use fatman rules and you should generally survive 60% of the time.
Not using optimized ammo? that's a paddling.
I use MAX CHARGE!!!!!
Even though it was added by a mod, the VT-191 Murdelizer rifle is my favorite energy weapon. Very powerful but you needed to be careful since it uses a slowly charging MF Breeder

the standard run of the mill laser rifle is my go to when fully modded it does insane damage plus scope allows for incredible sniping
