Honestly the best method is place a extra set of armor or frame stand on it with reflective armor never have to fire a shot then when shield it down you autoaxe Hella easy doesn't require a single buff. I use troubleshooter reflective armor. Waaaaaay easier and no specific spots required for the armor
You'll need to deal enough damage to it's fusion cores before it fully boots up. Having an Auto-axe with the right legendary mods, tasty meat buff (with carnivore mutation) for melee damage, and the perk cards mentioned should let you take it down. Feel free to pop any additional buffs that increases strength, bobbleheads, psycho etc. Can also use PA pieces which have strength on them (or even 4th star melee damage increase, have not tried this myself yet). Strange in numbers under Charisma could help assuming you're on a team with a mutated teammate, this is optional of course.
If you cant take his shield down in time no problem. If that happens you will need bullet shield rank 4 perk and ricochet perk, those will cause his own attacks to reflect back towards him and that will take his shield down. To stay alive while hes shooting at you you can either spam stimpaks, but a better way is to use a heavy gun with vampire. I like the 50cal but it also must have FFR to make sure vampire heals you fast enough. That clip will run out kinda fast however, so a minigun with vampire and the tri-barrel attachment might be better for you. Troubleshooter armor will make you more tanky but not essential. Hope that helps
I made a post about this on Reddit. Did you try this with the electrified mod and did it not get through the shield in time? I’ve been waiting from someone to duplicate my results to confirm.
I have tried it a few times and it certainly does seem to deal less damage to the shield. While it may potentially still be possible to take the shield down with electrified, it's not as effective. I think the same goes for poisoned/burning but cannot confirm.
when they nerf pounders there are other weapons that will destroy the shield. dragon can just be held without even firing it while in reflective power armor. sheild vaporized. same with baseball bat with same final efect as dragon or any other weapon that has that effect. shoot ive even seen people using a macrod gatling gun to vaporize the shield. furious weapons will do onslaught stack damage off the charts so im sure that guardian will be toast. im curious how revolvers will work really.
You don't even need the power armor chassis you just need one power armor run down there while in the power armor go and make sure sure ur power armor toes are on the tip of the black and yellow line leave ur power armor push the button enter the armor and ur done dont need to stand on it or leave it again

Oh, also something else I left out(I'm sure you know but I'll say it anyway just in case) putting 2 star strength on whatever armor you are using will help immensely as well.
haha nice :) thanks for sharing still when i solo him i dont care to jump on the armor - nothing changes from before just takes arround 10s longer each run cause of placing the armor default reflective pa with default autoax - takes arround 25sek (+25sek robot loading = 50s-1min10 on average for me even as a herbiv arround 1.4k dmg without any food) so nice to farm robot for super stims, ammo and sometimes 4stars
Pounders is not required. I can do it with Deathclaw Wellington and Tasty Mutant Hound Stew / Carnivore. I use an Executioners Auto Axe w Heavy Hitters. Best to be on a team to get a damage bonus from Twisted Muscles mutation.
With a true melee setup, you don't need any STR food buff or Tasty anything. Glowing Meat steak/Yao Guai Ribs/Mutuant Hound Chops as a carnivore on a team with SiN works just fine and is far easier to obtain.
Tell me this raid is pointless without telling me it’s pointless in the grand scheme of F76. Nobody is doing the full raid. Everyone is only farming the first boss over and over. And it’s only one meta. It’s pathetic honestly. 6 years later and this is what they came up with. 🤦♂️
You know something is poorly designed when half the people who do it are openly exploiting or cheating to get through it. Or when simply "using melee" is considered an exploit.
I don't know for controller, but on PC it's holding the same button that makes you enter the PA. Edit: I misread the question, read comment below for answer... 😅
It comes with a risk; sometimes there's lag in the boss starting so you can end up entering the power armor too soon and still die from the electricity.
I've found a good marker is using the platform lights turning on. Once they start turning on, the EN06 is set to spawn at the same time rate. I lose out on some shield damage time but don't have to worry about getting zapped. If you still get zapped try entering at the next light trigger. Even entering at the fourth light trigger will get you in armor before EN06 fully spawns
Dude, if you’re going to do this, you should understand the mechanics. There are two things in play here one people claim, although there’s absolutely no source no evidence, but they claim that the shield is less resistant to ballistic damage. It is possible that the robot and his health, his body have one set of resistances, and the shield has a different set. People claim the shield goes down faster with ballistic damage from the auto wax at the same time when you put a mod on an auto wax you lose 40% of the ballistic damage you don’t gain back 40% more when you add the element so you’re dividing your damage between energy and ballistic your incisor part card is ignoring letting you ignore 75% of each resistance so anything more than that is going against health, but you’ve divided it if you put it all in ballistic or all in energy you’re going to be better off but the main reason is it takes the shield down a lot fasterand there’s absolutely no evidence that you can point to no source no and nobody is actually showed us time lapse both ways so that we can see the difference not that I’ve seen, but that’s the anecdotal claim that energy is worse than ballistic against the shield
I did compare it with and without electric mod on my own and it certainly seemed like no mod was superior. Good video idea tho if I can be bothered comparing all the auto-axe mods.
You don't need pounders to do this just fyi for any lower levels that haven't raided or gotten a pounders, you can do this with 3 star gear and 1 food buff which is how i did it when the raids first dropped
It's pain. I consider myself lucky since Pounders dropped under ten tries. Then again I'm still missing three of the Vulcan limb plans after around 200 tries.
I've been hunting Pounders forever. But I can still solo it with some prep work. Need Strange in numbers and be on a team with another mutated person even if they aren't in the raid, then Carnivore and Tasty Yau Guai Roast and I typically use Deathclaw Wellington and Seared Venison with Berries as well. Since I can't take the shield out before attacks start, I use a medic pump on armor, Ricochet and Bullet Shield perks, and fire a slow fire rate Vampire mini gun with a shredder mod (when that close, the shredder can do 10 to 20 damage to help out). Be crouching when attacking as sometimes the EN06 will stop targeting and you get stealth attack boost, so any perks to boost stealth damage are good too. I typically kill it just as the room goes dark but it counts. I think I got one of the 4 star mods that boosts damage by 5% or something too so if needed, use a magazine to boost melee as well until you get what you need.
You can solo the boss without any 4-star effects if using other methods, but ofc they have other requirements. Otherwise you could try your luck by trading with someone for a Pounders mod.
It is what it is. I farmed the first boss hundreds of times and got literally everything but Pounders, I don't think it even drops from the EN06 stage. What you do is trade with other player or friend that finished the raid multiple times and that's it.
You don't need pounders, I was doing this with 3 star gear when the raids 1st dropped.

If you cant take down his shield in time and he ens up shooting you and you die, you will need to equip the bullet shield rank 4 and ricochet perks, that makes his attacks reflect back at him and it will take his shield out pretty quick. To ensure you don’t die in the meantime, fire a vampire minigun with tri-barrel attachment at him until his shield is down, then switch to auto axe to finish his health bar. Make sure you are in3rd person while using the auto axe it does way more damage in 3rd. However only go to 3rd after his shield is down. Axing his back to take the shield down requires 1st person.
Saw a level 1000+ doing this last night..... he died every single time. Evidently it cannot be done in teams for what ever reason and must be a solo glitch. Edit: After testing it myself i can confirm it doesn't work, it wouldnt let me out of the armour it says "you cant exit armour here) then 1 shots. It may just be extremely finicky as a glitch to pull off which is not "easy" nor the "easiest way" The easiest way is to use the "mechanic best friend" (legendary blunt weapon.... it will 2 shot the shield then swap to auto axe and melt.
Yea u must be doing it wrong asf. Jump on the platform facing the button. Exit your armor on the ring. Go press the button Jump back in as the electricity starts or the 4th click of the platform. Hit the shield with autoàxe. If u dont have furious/heavy hitters/pounders your wasting your time. If u do crush him
It can be done on team. Guy showed me how to do this while we were on a team, then both of us were doing it at the same time on a team with no issues. With two of us, that thing melted so fast lol
The very idea of fallout game content having gear and team requirements is appalling to me. Why isn't role playing good enough anymore? If I can't role play my way through an RPG then there is no point in playing. The raid is bad for the game and it has ruined public events. It feels like a dying world. Just like many other MMORPGs it dilutes the core content and fractures the playerbase.

This whole game is ridiculous. Lvl 180 is so low, you need the perks and the stat and the items. Farming perk cards is a nightmare , if bad luck like me it will be around lvl 800+ to get all you need for the builds. Then you also need the luck or the money to get the items you need, some weapons which are OP is so hard to get. So yeah this game is just as bad as when I left it 4y ago. Ooh then you see a lvl 55 with super luck (or ebay weapons) that kills boss in a few seconds. Great fun 👍
Farming perk cards? You do realize you get a perk card for every level up right? You also get a pack of 5 perks cards for every 5 levels. That's 20 perk cards for every ten levels. Also, those level 50's you see running around with good gear is likely the alt of much higher level player. My main is level 790 and my alt is 300. However, when my alt hit level 50 I was able to craft them level 50 weapons and max level PA and legendary box mods to go with them.
@Flip86x yeah that's what I mean man. You can't farm them you can farm them through lvl up each 5 lvls after 50. Yeah that's probably right , makes game alot fun for us new ones. This ain't very beginner friendly and it's very hard to get those builds which makes the game more fun ;)
@@abcdefgcdefg5178 i mean I'm lvl 175 so not that new but yeah been doing that. What i lack most is cards for the builds i find , weapons i can probably craft soon enough
As per Angry Turtles method, I slap down an extra PA, just outside of the little orange strip/ring, hit the button, jump on top of the PA, w/ Bulletshield & Ricochet perks and my Vampire Mini-Shredder taking out the shields, then switching to Auto-Axe to finish it off. But I don't really mess w/ trying to take out the shields AS it's coming out. I just let him damage himself w/ my reflect perks, while staying alive w/ the Shredder. If u'r bold enough to try, the 2 perks and the Shredder are the ONLY things u need, going in w/ as few things as possible.... 🤔Smart ppl will See the Synergy here : Ppl WILL lose their jobs, Soon.

I'm using just incisor, no other melee perk, don't eat/drink or use drugs/bobbles/magazines, and I use poison mod. I'm 300+ a hit more than you, my 0 buffs against all of yours
They need to add a level requirement to even enter the raid. I'm sick of all these noobs taking up space or rushing endgame loot and expecting everyone to carry them.
toxic much? 700+ and I haven't done the raid yet. Despise raids in general. What would lvl requirement do aside from denying people the ability to play with friends or engage in new hyped up content? Hows someone supposed to learn mechanics and timing of encounters? Why not help those who actually are trying/want to give this garbage a chance? Taking up space??? In an instanced encounter requiring teams??? Some poor player isn't as fast as you for your speed run so they dont get content? Dont worry cause those lvl 50 boosters are coming and that will fix your concern, lmao.
Or...and I know this is going to blow your mind...teach them how to raid 🤯 I brought a level 63 through and taught him and he did great,he is now level 310 and does better than some of the random level 1500s I have raided with 😂 maybe just get over yourself and let people enjoy the game how they want
The devs should just not try to ddsign a boss with gimmcks to make melee not work. Melee should always work. Bad devs.
I agree you should be able to fight a boss with any build style, melee, shotgunner, sniper, commando heavy gunner though some may be harder it should be able to be done with enough effort.
I kinda agree. The only reason they’ve done this though is because of how Pounder’s interacts with the Auto Axe. At least from how I understand it.

Not the fastest method though
im confused the bot just attacks me then i die is there a special thing to do/need for it just to sit there like in the vid?
fr same
You'll need to deal enough damage to it's fusion cores before it fully boots up. Having an Auto-axe with the right legendary mods, tasty meat buff (with carnivore mutation) for melee damage, and the perk cards mentioned should let you take it down.
Feel free to pop any additional buffs that increases strength, bobbleheads, psycho etc. Can also use PA pieces which have strength on them (or even 4th star melee damage increase, have not tried this myself yet). Strange in numbers under Charisma could help assuming you're on a team with a mutated teammate, this is optional of course.
If you cant take his shield down in time no problem. If that happens you will need bullet shield rank 4 perk and ricochet perk, those will cause his own attacks to reflect back towards him and that will take his shield down. To stay alive while hes shooting at you you can either spam stimpaks, but a better way is to use a heavy gun with vampire. I like the 50cal but it also must have FFR to make sure vampire heals you fast enough. That clip will run out kinda fast however, so a minigun with vampire and the tri-barrel attachment might be better for you. Troubleshooter armor will make you more tanky but not essential. Hope that helps
I don't recommend with low health or no pa because those turrets do a lot of damage
Here to watch people to tell him to be in 3rd person to take the robots health bar down 🍿
I made a post about this on Reddit. Did you try this with the electrified mod and did it not get through the shield in time? I’ve been waiting from someone to duplicate my results to confirm.
3300-3500 damage with electrified, took me 49 secs but I literally didn't do anything until the shield was down.
I have tried it a few times and it certainly does seem to deal less damage to the shield. While it may potentially still be possible to take the shield down with electrified, it's not as effective. I think the same goes for poisoned/burning but cannot confirm.
@@prizmere I can confirm this as I have tested it
when they nerf pounders there are other weapons that will destroy the shield. dragon can just be held without even firing it while in reflective power armor. sheild vaporized. same with baseball bat with same final efect as dragon or any other weapon that has that effect. shoot ive even seen people using a macrod gatling gun to vaporize the shield. furious weapons will do onslaught stack damage off the charts so im sure that guardian will be toast. im curious how revolvers will work really.
I stand on the first ledge instead of on top...takes a minute to take it down.
You don't even need the power armor chassis you just need one power armor run down there while in the power armor go and make sure sure ur power armor toes are on the tip of the black and yellow line leave ur power armor push the button enter the armor and ur done dont need to stand on it or leave it again
I love when you guys say, "just need pounders." Why TF you think i'm trying to farm this thing? To get Pounders FFS.
You don't need pounders, I was doing this with 3 star gear when the raids 1st dropped. If you are having trouble with dps you can get food buffs from the mall that increase melee damage, you can get mire magic moonshine from moonshine jamboree that increases melee damage or any other alcohol will increase strength, you can go to nuka world and get a gulper stuffed foot from Betty hill that increases strength, or you can buy jasmine or maul as an ally for gold bullion, jasmine gives food buffs for melee damage, maul with give you an ally boost for strength thru dialog. You can also buy the weight bench for gold bullion which gives you a strength boost for 30 min, so depending on how much trouble you are having with dps you can do one of these or a mixture until you get the level of boost that you need. Long winded but I hope this helps you in some way. :) !
Oh, also something else I left out(I'm sure you know but I'll say it anyway just in case) putting 2 star strength on whatever armor you are using will help immensely as well.
haha nice :) thanks for sharing
still when i solo him i dont care to jump on the armor - nothing changes from before just takes arround 10s longer each run cause of placing the armor
default reflective pa with default autoax - takes arround 25sek (+25sek robot loading = 50s-1min10 on average for me even as a herbiv arround 1.4k dmg without any food)
so nice to farm robot for super stims, ammo and sometimes 4stars
Pounders is not required. I can do it with Deathclaw Wellington and Tasty Mutant Hound Stew / Carnivore. I use an Executioners Auto Axe w Heavy Hitters. Best to be on a team to get a damage bonus from Twisted Muscles mutation.
With a true melee setup, you don't need any STR food buff or Tasty anything. Glowing Meat steak/Yao Guai Ribs/Mutuant Hound Chops as a carnivore on a team with SiN works just fine and is far easier to obtain.
Tell me this raid is pointless without telling me it’s pointless in the grand scheme of F76. Nobody is doing the full raid. Everyone is only farming the first boss over and over. And it’s only one meta. It’s pathetic honestly. 6 years later and this is what they came up with. 🤦♂️
What is the location of him?
How comes a raid team buffs your specials, its just an xp buff for completing raids
He is probably running herd mentality, being on a team even by yourself gives you the buff
A Raid team only buffs your weapon's durability. It's also not "just an XP buff" as Herd Mentality increases your STR = more damage.
You know something is poorly designed when half the people who do it are openly exploiting or cheating to get through it.
Or when simply "using melee" is considered an exploit.
The shield is most vulnerable to physical damage, that is why ‘no mod’ is more effective.

Great video!
Might be a dum question lol but how do you quick exit the pa
I play pc on controller btw
I don't know for controller, but on PC it's holding the same button that makes you enter the PA.
Edit: I misread the question, read comment below for answer... 😅
It's only when your character is in combat, you can quick enter and exit power armour
Can’t the ponders mod to drop….😑
Yo if you're on playstation I can with u one for free
It comes with a risk; sometimes there's lag in the boss starting so you can end up entering the power armor too soon and still die from the electricity.
That's a good point, hadn't thought of it as I only tested this on a private server. Certainly can be an issue on public servers.
I've found a good marker is using the platform lights turning on. Once they start turning on, the EN06 is set to spawn at the same time rate. I lose out on some shield damage time but don't have to worry about getting zapped. If you still get zapped try entering at the next light trigger. Even entering at the fourth light trigger will get you in armor before EN06 fully spawns
In 3rd person view you do three times the damage with autoaxe. It just works.
Holy shit this comment was the difference between completion and death.
I am now one of the exalted cheesers
Wow
I didn't notice you drinking coffee or anything. How do you not run out of AP?
Not needed at all, the auto axe has low AP use so unless you have very few perk points in agility you shouldn't run out of AP.
Optimized Bracers: Reduces AP cost for power attacks...which is what every hit from an auto axe is. Thing spins forever.
Im dieing instantly soon as enter power armour
This just brilliant, thank you sir!
Dude, if you’re going to do this, you should understand the mechanics. There are two things in play here one people claim, although there’s absolutely no source no evidence, but they claim that the shield is less resistant to ballistic damage. It is possible that the robot and his health, his body have one set of resistances, and the shield has a different set. People claim the shield goes down faster with ballistic damage from the auto wax at the same time when you put a mod on an auto wax you lose 40% of the ballistic damage you don’t gain back 40% more when you add the element so you’re dividing your damage between energy and ballistic your incisor part card is ignoring letting you ignore 75% of each resistance so anything more than that is going against health, but you’ve divided it if you put it all in ballistic or all in energy you’re going to be better off but the main reason is it takes the shield down a lot fasterand there’s absolutely no evidence that you can point to no source no and nobody is actually showed us time lapse both ways so that we can see the difference not that I’ve seen, but that’s the anecdotal claim that energy is worse than ballistic against the shield
I did compare it with and without electric mod on my own and it certainly seemed like no mod was superior. Good video idea tho if I can be bothered comparing all the auto-axe mods.
You don't need pounders to do this just fyi for any lower levels that haven't raided or gotten a pounders, you can do this with 3 star gear and 1 food buff which is how i did it when the raids first dropped
You need Pounders but you cannot get that unless you can finish that boss multiple times. C'mon man. This is bs.
It's pain. I consider myself lucky since Pounders dropped under ten tries. Then again I'm still missing three of the Vulcan limb plans after around 200 tries.
I've been hunting Pounders forever. But I can still solo it with some prep work. Need Strange in numbers and be on a team with another mutated person even if they aren't in the raid, then Carnivore and Tasty Yau Guai Roast and I typically use Deathclaw Wellington and Seared Venison with Berries as well. Since I can't take the shield out before attacks start, I use a medic pump on armor, Ricochet and Bullet Shield perks, and fire a slow fire rate Vampire mini gun with a shredder mod (when that close, the shredder can do 10 to 20 damage to help out). Be crouching when attacking as sometimes the EN06 will stop targeting and you get stealth attack boost, so any perks to boost stealth damage are good too. I typically kill it just as the room goes dark but it counts. I think I got one of the 4 star mods that boosts damage by 5% or something too so if needed, use a magazine to boost melee as well until you get what you need.
You can solo the boss without any 4-star effects if using other methods, but ofc they have other requirements. Otherwise you could try your luck by trading with someone for a Pounders mod.
It is what it is. I farmed the first boss hundreds of times and got literally everything but Pounders, I don't think it even drops from the EN06 stage. What you do is trade with other player or friend that finished the raid multiple times and that's it.
You don't need pounders, I was doing this with 3 star gear when the raids 1st dropped.

Hehehe insane now I need unlock autoaxe on my mule
Everyome always makes it look so easy. I just copied every. Same build, weapon and a full set of power armor and get fried every time
is like me when i want do the apple cake from receipt from youtube
@@gypsy6964 Yea I get the same with apple crumble 🙂 But the bot is still as easy as before
If you cant take down his shield in time and he ens up shooting you and you die, you will need to equip the bullet shield rank 4 and ricochet perks, that makes his attacks reflect back at him and it will take his shield out pretty quick. To ensure you don’t die in the meantime, fire a vampire minigun with tri-barrel attachment at him until his shield is down, then switch to auto axe to finish his health bar. Make sure you are in3rd person while using the auto axe it does way more damage in 3rd. However only go to 3rd after his shield is down. Axing his back to take the shield down requires 1st person.
Saw a level 1000+ doing this last night..... he died every single time.
Evidently it cannot be done in teams for what ever reason and must be a solo glitch.
Edit: After testing it myself i can confirm it doesn't work, it wouldnt let me out of the armour it says "you cant exit armour here) then 1 shots. It may just be extremely finicky as a glitch to pull off which is not "easy" nor the "easiest way" The easiest way is to use the "mechanic best friend" (legendary blunt weapon.... it will 2 shot the shield then swap to auto axe and melt.
It can be done in teams.
I do it on a team all the time... even teammates do it at the same time as I do, which takes EN06 down twice as fast.
@@damianp1758same. I’ve solo’d the guardian at least 30 times while in a casual team.
Yea u must be doing it wrong asf. Jump on the platform facing the button. Exit your armor on the ring. Go press the button
Jump back in as the electricity starts or the 4th click of the platform. Hit the shield with autoàxe. If u dont have furious/heavy hitters/pounders your wasting your time. If u do crush him
It can be done on team. Guy showed me how to do this while we were on a team, then both of us were doing it at the same time on a team with no issues. With two of us, that thing melted so fast lol
The very idea of fallout game content having gear and team requirements is appalling to me. Why isn't role playing good enough anymore? If I can't role play my way through an RPG then there is no point in playing. The raid is bad for the game and it has ruined public events. It feels like a dying world. Just like many other MMORPGs it dilutes the core content and fractures the playerbase.
I had to rush to repair the rad scrubber to start EN the other day because only a few other people were around and it was about to fail to even start.
one day i will have 4star mods😅
I hear ya, but after a few tries trying without pounders and finally got some 4stars I was relieved it worked lol

This whole game is ridiculous. Lvl 180 is so low, you need the perks and the stat and the items. Farming perk cards is a nightmare , if bad luck like me it will be around lvl 800+ to get all you need for the builds. Then you also need the luck or the money to get the items you need, some weapons which are OP is so hard to get. So yeah this game is just as bad as when I left it 4y ago. Ooh then you see a lvl 55 with super luck (or ebay weapons) that kills boss in a few seconds. Great fun 👍
Farming perk cards? You do realize you get a perk card for every level up right? You also get a pack of 5 perks cards for every 5 levels. That's 20 perk cards for every ten levels.
Also, those level 50's you see running around with good gear is likely the alt of much higher level player. My main is level 790 and my alt is 300. However, when my alt hit level 50 I was able to craft them level 50 weapons and max level PA and legendary box mods to go with them.
@Flip86x yeah that's what I mean man. You can't farm them you can farm them through lvl up each 5 lvls after 50. Yeah that's probably right , makes game alot fun for us new ones. This ain't very beginner friendly and it's very hard to get those builds which makes the game more fun ;)
@@xGamehix do expeditions then, you can get 100k xp solo if you do it right and get plenty of legendary items to scrap
grinding is how you earn the right to this stuff, we all started where you are...
@@abcdefgcdefg5178 i mean I'm lvl 175 so not that new but yeah been doing that. What i lack most is cards for the builds i find , weapons i can probably craft soon enough
Anyone willing to do this with me? On xbox!
you should use furious. You'll do way more damage.
At 0:53 he said it was Furious!
You should get glasses
You should turn your ears on.
In Luis’ defense I couldn’t smell that it was Furious
Yea, somethings off. Damage should be over 3000 even without any melee damage buffing foods. In a team though.
I’m pretty I would fail doing it😂
Practice makes perfect!
@ it’s true that I have nothing to lose! But I’m level 83 so I don’t know if it would work and I also have to do expeditions to get the auto axe
@ Oh right. Well, there's no reason to rush endgame, just enjoy the ride! :)
As per Angry Turtles method, I slap down an extra PA, just outside of the little orange strip/ring, hit the button, jump on top of the PA, w/ Bulletshield & Ricochet perks and my Vampire Mini-Shredder taking out the shields, then switching to Auto-Axe to finish it off.
But I don't really mess w/ trying to take out the shields AS it's coming out. I just let him damage himself w/ my reflect perks, while staying alive w/ the Shredder.
If u'r bold enough to try, the 2 perks and the Shredder are the ONLY things u need, going in w/ as few things as possible....

do it without pounders wussy. bethesda literally screwed everyone who doesnt have pounders with this patch. i could solo it without poundsrs it just took me using all the bunkers but i could do it, now i cant even jump up there after i get down and people cheesing with the broken mod are sweeping this shit and charging outragous prices for mods
Pounders is really easy to get?
What's the problem? Raids will give you plenty of Pounders.
Umm you can do this without pounders in 50 sec...are you ok?
😅👏👏👏👏👏
I'm using just incisor, no other melee perk, don't eat/drink or use drugs/bobbles/magazines, and I use poison mod. I'm 300+ a hit more than you, my 0 buffs against all of yours
Upload a video then.
Another TH-cam snitch
They need to add a level requirement to even enter the raid. I'm sick of all these noobs taking up space or rushing endgame loot and expecting everyone to carry them.
toxic much? 700+ and I haven't done the raid yet. Despise raids in general. What would lvl requirement do aside from denying people the ability to play with friends or engage in new hyped up content? Hows someone supposed to learn mechanics and timing of encounters? Why not help those who actually are trying/want to give this garbage a chance? Taking up space??? In an instanced encounter requiring teams??? Some poor player isn't as fast as you for your speed run so they dont get content? Dont worry cause those lvl 50 boosters are coming and that will fix your concern, lmao.
Or...and I know this is going to blow your mind...teach them how to raid 🤯 I brought a level 63 through and taught him and he did great,he is now level 310 and does better than some of the random level 1500s I have raided with 😂 maybe just get over yourself and let people enjoy the game how they want
I join raids with low levels just to help them out. And get them all rewards fast.
