Love it when there's a fun but probably unintended effect that isn't game breaking. 😂 Going to try this out with pumpkin grenades later. I picked a good time to start a new gunslinger. The poison damage on the alien blaster seems much stronger now too.
@@wiggle_plays yeah it's a lot more than I expected. The weapon card is showing over 100 poison damage on a level 30 AB! One shot kills on level 50 ghouls at the jamboree last night with crits. Pretty sweet for a baby full health gunslinger :) Anglers and gulpers were unimpressed with the poison damage, I suspect cryo is still the king overall for that gun. Of course by the end of that event I'd already outgrown all of the gear I gave that character a couple hours prior.
Instead of having to throw your knife away at the end of combat. You can open your pipboy and let off the throwable button and when you exit out it should cancel the throw entirely.
You want unyielding thorn armor and an instigating melee weapon that applys bleeds to really boost this use the knives from a distance to stun everyone and then run in and stealth murder them all in 1 hit each after the bleeds eat them
I’m aware there’s 2 other throwing weapons, so they not work with the circuit breaker ? I think it’s the Tomahawk which does a lot more damage so it might oneshot super mutants
Tomahawk is definitely stronger and would work with this. The reason I chose the throwing knife is that everyone knows that plan by default and the tomahawk plan is kind of rare.
I wish throwing weapons had a buff or certain melee weapons can be thrown like a spear or the war glaive but at least resistant enemies had a ranged weakness again
I’m pretty sure any damage perk on the gun would activate on the throwing knife like Bloodied/junkies/ anti armor. It for sure works with grenades since Angry Turtle has a grenade build for xp farming
That is too freaking cool! Hello from a new sub and new player. Love the different Circuit Breaker builds I am seeing. Is the green reticle adjustable in the setting you used. Never seen that before but looks very useful.
I want to try poison quills in vats with hack and slash. I'm not sure if thrown counts as melee. If it does, im gonna shock and poison everything in my path
While im glad people are finding creative builds around the Circuit Breaker. As someone who was hoping for a weapon that would really make gunslinger builds pop, Im disappointed with it.
you can use vats if you time it right. as soon as the throwing animation starts, you can enter vats :) Also, i think throwing knifes count as melee too so Id try ninja perk for 90% more damage for sneak attacks lol
I don't know if it's intended or not so I can't say if it'll be patched. I wouldn't consider this an exploit though. It's not exactly game breaking or over powered.
Not an exploit, no. All thrown weapons assume the effects of your equipped gun. If you've got an Anti-Armour weapon equipped your grenades for instance will also have the Anti Armour effect. Cool that it works on throwing knives as well. Throwing knives also count as melee weapons for resilient enemies, as per the last patch.
I think you're mispronouncing grenadier. I think it's gren-nade-er, but hey to each his own. Any additional info is appreciated. Great video btw.. *Update* My apologies, I just googled how to pronounce it. Lol
You know when you access the pip-boy it cancels throw-a-ball weapons but I suppose it’s not much so it doesn’t matter that much I guess🤷 Also, you can do crit damage outside of vets providing you get headshot
We need Boomerangs in FO76.
That would be fun.
@@wiggle_plays Could even have Raider variants like in the Mad Max movie.
Use throwables in vats. That way you can target the head. Simply enter vats immediately after you release the throwable
I wonder if the effect kills surrounding creatures on minimum health during mutated events where only melee damage can kill them.
Not sure. Interesting idea though.
yes it does invisible damage
The weight of throwing knives is the deal breaker.
All thrown weapons assume the effects of your equipped gun.
Noice
Instigating thirst zapper with nuka😎😎😎😎
It seems to be super effective against robots. One shotting that sentry bot. Hints the name circuit breaker, I guess. And it being pre-war tech. 🤣

Secondary effects like poison, fire, cryo should all be doing more damage since the update since they are now affected by damage perks.

I'll have to try something with poison. I wonder if Kabloom is stronger too.
@@wiggle_plays wondering the same and just recently bought Strangler plans from Minerva on the shotgunner. Might be fun!
@@wiggle_plays I just got the kabloom for my ghoulfriend character. Gunna test this idea
I've confirmed that the effect will also trigger if you bash an an enemy with the empty circuit breaker.
Yep.
Would a molotov burn continuously pull off the circit breaker stun?
I didn't test that. Interesting idea though.
if i remember right this also works with grenades
Yep.

You did mention it in the video. If you get something in a legendary effect of weapons weight by X amount it will help reduce the weight.

Use sheepsquatch shards instead of basic throwing knives

Tomahawk is definitely stronger and would work with this. The reason I chose the throwing knife is that everyone knows that plan by default and the tomahawk plan is kind of rare.
Try tomahawks since there's a perk magazine that boosts the damage of them by 15 or 25% I don't remember the name of the magazine
Even as a low-level player, I never used throwing knives. But now...

Works with any throwable.
"Do it. And let the English see ya do it."
Use the sheepsquatch quill throwing knives
They must've patched it bc my throwing knifes act normally.
That is too freaking cool! Hello from a new sub and new player. Love the different Circuit Breaker builds I am seeing.

It's Fire In The Hole perk
@@wiggle_plays Ahhhh! Haven't gotten that one yet! Thanks for the info and for doing what you do for the community!!
Yeah, looks like fun. I'm always amazed at how much stuff is in this game.
I want to try poison quills in vats with hack and slash. I'm not sure if thrown counts as melee. If it does, im gonna shock and poison everything in my path
It turns out that you can just bash them with the empty gun and getr the stun effect, A new melee weapon!
Cool, I didn't even know this game had throwing knives.
when you start at level 2, crafting 10 is pretty helpful
Martial Artist in strength and armor with weapons weight reduction works on throwables.
wait martial artist actually works for them?
Throwing knives are considered explosives now.
My man forgets that TK are melee weapons affected by melee perks
They aren't melee weapons.
@@wiggle_plays This has been patched afaik, they're now viable against resilient mutation.
They work against resilient but don't benefit from melee perks.
Does 1-Handed Melee affect throwing knives & cleavers?
Nope.
Boooo!!!
While im glad people are finding creative builds around the Circuit Breaker. As someone who was hoping for a weapon that would really make gunslinger builds pop, Im disappointed with it.
If you throw near head and vats with concentrated fire on, you can head shot
Where do you get circuit breaker?
Rank 35 on the scoreboard.
@@wiggle_plays thank you
Very nice..Does this work with sheepsquach shards?
Any throwable.
Are tomahawk better ?
yes but he chose throwing knives bc its a default plan and tomahawk is a rare plan
if u have it and want to do this, use them instead
dose the tomohawk do more damage?
Yes.
you can use vats if you time it right. as soon as the throwing animation starts, you can enter vats :)
Also, i think throwing knifes count as melee too so Id try ninja perk for 90% more damage for sneak attacks lol
You can get it to auto prok with other ability s reflect damage works fast shooting turrets kill them self easy.
Thank you for making a video about this (idk if you saw my comment in the last video probably not but thank you anyway)
Does it also work with grenades?
Yep. Any throwable.
How are you able to see your trajectory?
Fire In The Hole perk under perception.
@@wiggle_plays appriciate that just curious! lol
Broooooooo what about sheepsquatch shards? Cus if it does that's op
Works for any throwable. I just picked throwing knives because it's a plan that everyone knows.
Would you call this an exploit which might be patched
I don't know if it's intended or not so I can't say if it'll be patched. I wouldn't consider this an exploit though. It's not exactly game breaking or over powered.
Not an exploit, no. All thrown weapons assume the effects of your equipped gun. If you've got an Anti-Armour weapon equipped your grenades for instance will also have the Anti Armour effect. Cool that it works on throwing knives as well. Throwing knives also count as melee weapons for resilient enemies, as per the last patch.
Full health without weapon weight reduction? What happened to your rolls lol
I don't carry that many weapons.
It's not about carrying but about owning. Honestly it's great for content creator like you.
Dang took awhile with Jeff
Death by a thousand cuts.
That's actually pretty cool 😂
Throwing knives should have mods, have flaming knives, explosive and flaming knives
600 with no xp buffs and no team play. Imagine how how the point would be with xp boost
oh man, they will patch the F outta this... does Last Shot on other weapons function similarly?
No idea. I haven't tested it.
It should do, yes.
@@wiggle_plays would make me think slightly higher of Last Shot if it operated the same across all legendaries.
genius!
You can use them in vats just prepare the throw and when you let go quickly go vats and normally it should work
lol - was doing this the other day.... you'll burn your steel out, kid. still very damn fun :D
He play every day he not losing anything lol
Prolly really only a concern for non 1st players, which does suck.
lol - yeah, i'm at 300k-ish steel bits. but i'm positive i don't have over 100 gears and screws :p

It will get patched because people post things like this on youtube.
