I've got old faithful and every gun in the game! Seriously! I'm also the oldest Fallout fan. I'm 72yrs old and have played every fallout over and over until the next comes out! I carry four guns! Overseers Guardian, Delieverer, Tinker Tom (molded to 306 ammo) and my quad barrel fire and forget missile launcher! I only use the missiles in dire circumstances! Peace out,ya'll!
@@tonydabaloney Love to see old timers playing Fallout. I'm 76 and have played every Fallout game except Fallout 76. I don't play socially, I prefer to play alone and not on a shared schedule. I've played Fallout 4 almost daily since it's release, almost 9 years ago.
@edmartin875 Thanks, I've wondered about other old players. I have been gaming since forever and think it's great for keeping my brain going. It's not easy keep up with all the settlements, where you stashed what in what add-on like NukaWorld or Far Harbor. At my home base I probably have 20 containers holding different stuff. My ex wife and I had a convenience store with a game room back in early 80s. Have loved games. Wife just tolerates my gaming, but grandkids love it!
Here's a guide to get this weapon fast. Step one: have at least 6 charisma Step 2: get 10 by grabbing the black-rim glasses in the mole rat den under red rocket where you find dogmeat, grabbing a militia hat from the minutemen in front of the Museum of Freedom, and buying a set of clothes that gives +2. If you can't find a set of clothes, there are two daytrippers in the concord speakeasy. Step 3: Use your high charisma to get the max amount of caps for Solomon's, Moe's, and any other quest in Diamond City that gets you caps. Step 4: Start Diamond City Blues and get the chems. Step 5: Use high charisma clothes to enter Vault 81 Step 6: Use the caps and chems to buy Overseer's Guardian and anything else you need. Bonus Tip: You get half the mag whenever you pick up a weapon. Pick up all the submachine guns while rescuing Nick to get lots of .45 ammo Enjoy!
You could find some gold bars and some resources to sell near sanctuary, including the fusion cores the overseer gonna ask. Tho, cricket might also hang out near the cave entrance. So I usually try to find enough caps before going to Vault 81 for both Overseer Guardian plus Spray and Pray.
@@dbank6107 Thank god for that little submachine gun. Got ambushed by a full legendary Enclave patrol after doing Speak of the Devil. My only hotkeyed weapons were Righteous Authority and Spray N Pray, RA didn't do shit. But once I switched and started hosing them with explosive rounds, fight ended real quick
The Two Shot legendary effect is probably one of my favorite legendary effects. It is rarely if ever the best option for a given situation, but it is consistently a good option for lots of situations. The effect triggers with every shot regardless of your perks, your target, time of day, how addicted/withdrawn you are, in and out of VATS, or how many rounds in the magazine. While it doesn't actually do double damage like you might think from the description of the effect, it is still a nice damage boost for many gun types. I do think Furious and Wounding are better effects for full auto guns and Instigating a better effect for snipers, but Two Shot, and especially the Overseer's Guardian, is just a good enough gun for most situations that it becomes my most used gun.
I agree, it's pretty much my all round weapon to. Very handy, easy to get and plentiful ammo too. The only time I don't tend to use this is usually when I'm going full melee. I'm happy I'm not the only folk out there who thinks this is a pretty solid weapon.
@@Paulito941 That's the new update. Before the update, two-shot weapons like Overseer's Guardian just did double damage. Now there is a spread when you hip-fire or use VATS. So Overseer's guardian is good for a sniper rifle now, but not as good close range.
It's a solid weapon. When paired with the right perks this is a monster of a weapon. Add some sneak and your basically going to remain totally hidden and own everything.
You can gain access to the vault for free by making a speech check. Put on any CHA clothes, drink some alcohol that increases CHA and stims that do the same. Once you have done that save the game and do the dialogue. Say you got the pip boy from vault 111 and then that you want to do some trading. When the overseer comes on the coms, there should be a speech option. If it fails, just load and try again. Might take a few tries depending on how high you managed to get your CHA.
You can actually turn away during the dialogue with the overseer and drop the fusion cores then pick them back up. You still get the caps and access then you can pick your fusion cores back up.
I can get plus 5 Charisma with clothing, hat, and glasses, then drink a beer and take a Grape Mentats for 6 more Charisma. Since I normally run on 6 Charisma that puts me up to 17. But I usually just hand over the fusion cores since I have tons of them and seldom use Power Armor.
Yeah, I pretty much use the Overseer's Guardian with reflex sight 80% of the game. Then a 2 shot 10mm pistol for close range, 50cal sniper for long range, chinese grenade launcher for anything big.
Grape mentats, beer and cloths. Get charisma to 11 and skip the fusion cores. Grape mentats is 5, beer is 1, hat glasses and clothes is 4. Even with a base charisma of 1 you can get in for free.
That's an interesting thought, I have done that in the past but not straight out of Vault 111. I'll give it a try and see if I can actuget it practically for free. Thanks for sharing.
Upgrade ur automatic weapons to lever 5 and switch this to the short ported barrel instead of long and to the strongest automatic version and you'll be blown away with how amazing it is, I do that on every playthrough
Ah that's a great tip, why didn't I think of that for the video. I went with the Fusion core choice to show that path but I could have taken your advice. Ah well, I will remember it for my next round.
The spicy part is when you use the attachment swap exploit on a random legendary weapon like a pipe pistol and add things like mirv (so double mirv or a Gatling laser with double shot and weapon attachment exploit)
Your absolutely right. It's a great way to get some really unique weapons created. I personally created the Mirv Pipe Pistol. Its basically my crowd control helper.
I like using The Overseer’s Guardian as a powerful sniper gun. Although the Ratslayer will always be my favorite sniper gun, too bad they didn’t include it and some of the other weapons from Vegas that would have been great.
Me too, I do like to use it as a sniper weapon also. Until I get something a little better in terms of power output, The Overseer's Guardian serves a great purpose. That said it's even been part of my end game builds too.
For me must have guns in game are : 1. 10mm Deliverer , get for free from Railroad first mission , best start 10mm in game . 2. .45 Pray'n'spray easy to get , just need to get cash & luck to meet Cricket , issue might be ammo as she it it quickly , but this is most OP weapon in game that you can just get "it just works". 3. .308 The Overseet's guardian is great .308 sniper weapon , only issue can be having 3 fusion cores at the start of the game . 4. 5.56 December Child is much better that assault rifles ... as dont look as shit , but shoot 5.56 ammo . 5. shootgun Le Fussil Terribles , is best shootgun for vats and is pretty easy to get , aleternative is Justice . 6. 7.62 Splattercannon , I allways paint it deciples colors and call it "Tarantal" *** ... but most op guns in game are ... bolt action pistol .308 & .50 pistols + sneak built in vats , just op.
@@adammarcinkowski-ko3el That's a great list there. Personally I love The Delivered, OG and Justice. They work well with my personal build styles. I als pair up Power Armor with Heavy weapons and that really makes my games interesting.
Yeap, that's right. Further more this is a great weapon to have early game. If you then compound this with certain perks then you ate good to go early in the game.
The Kiloton Rifle obtained from Far Harbor's Children of Atom faction has the best bang for your buck, no pun intended. Ballistic, explosive, AND radiation. Plus, easily used in single shot for sniping or rapid fire for crowd control. Doesn't look like you've done a video for that. Though, The Overseer's Guardian is easily one of the best guaranteed obtainable weapons in the vanilla game, no save-scumming required.
I agree and nope not done a video for that yet. I am currently going through the base game for FO4 and once I feel I have a good coverage of most of it I will then start looking at DLC content. And yes, it's a solid weapon.
After the update, .308 double shot rifle is useless in Vats. It almost always MISS the who shots, incredible. For scoped rifle, the brst hability is "double damage if target has full life"
You can get three cores at the army dump just east of Sanctuary on the first day. Two from the assault bot you self-destruct and one in the chest next to it. After you help Nick Valentine there are 4 cores in the bedroom area of his apartment.
That's true. Better yet you can also use another trick. Just before handing over the core, throw them out of your inventory and you won't have to hand over anything.
The gun is good for a long range sniper gun, but i prefer to use it in middle/close range, reflex sight, short stock, quick eject mag, even short barrel can decrease it's AP cost using it in VATS significantly, giving way more shots at full AP. (scopes, full stocks, big magazines, long barrel all increase all weapon's AP cost.).
It's a really solid weapon and one of my personal favorites. Most time when I am creating content, I end up using this weapon to help me take out enemies for content preparation. it really is a useful weapon and basically get's the job done.
Any gun with the Deadeye legendary effect is OP. The slow time feature lasts long enough for you to put in multiple head shots - no need for VATS. I've taken down Mirelurk Queens with a Deadeye .45 pipe rifle.
The Deadeye effect is one of my personal favourites. It almost feels like a hidden mode in the game that activates when you go into scope mode. Sometimes it's not about the power but the accuracy of your shots.
@@TrappedInFallout You nailed it. Deadeye gives you the time to line up a shot and two or three followups and do it again as many times as necessary. It makes the .44 and the Western Revolver much more practical primary weapons.
@@higgs923 Yeap, I even had a build specifically around weapons with the legendary effect. Chems are super useful when combined with this. Slow down time with Deadeye is sooooo OP.
Any new start of Fallout 4, I always pick up this weapon first thing. If you know what you are doing, other than dealing with a few bugs in Sanctuary, you can get it without ever being in a fight first.
Explosive combat shotgun is well above the overseers guardian. Overseers Guardian is a good gun in the early to mid levels. But can easily be outclassed later on. The explosive damage alone on the explosive combat shotgun outclasses the rifles double damage, as well as having AoE. The only drawback is you can't use it point blank or in tight quarters.
Wounding's DPS is better. Also the OG is only maximized on a sneak crit build, it can easily hit 1k damage a shot at high levels with the .308 conversion.
Fair points however playstyle and builds/perks play a part too. If your talking about just the raw damage then I'll give it to you. But with the right perks and playstyle (sneaking) you can get some impressive one hit kills on almost anything, even towards the end game. But to do that you would need to have a build centered around sniper weapons. I guess the same can be said for explosive weapons too.
@@TrappedInFallout funny thing with the explosive legendary effect is it applies to the bullet. The combat shotgun fires 7 bullets, which the explosive stacks to up to an extra 30 damage per pellet, which can all crit and do even more. Combine that with suppressor, sneak crit, and explosive skills, the damages is easily over 1000 and does AOE. Making it good for wiping out large groups with single shot even better then the Fat Man
Literally the only major issue with the explosive combat shotgun is you are absolutely not guaranteed to get it. You can spend HOURS save-scumming to get it. I've actually gotten bored constantly getting it each playthrough, so I started switching up what builds I try for. Last was melee only, and while tough at first, you can become surprisingly OP with the right build and weapons\armor combo.
My go to is the 2 round 10mm and rank up pistol damage to double plus the crit part. Everything falls but Super Mutants. I use the auto plasma rifle for that. Done son
Making the gun Simi auto instead of full auto increases its range to around 200. I love this gun, almost as much as my model out Delieverer. The overseers is my go to.
That's right, I probably should have mentioned that. I basically focused on perks that will get folks started but the Ninja should have been done that I could have said for sure.
The thing is, unless it was fixed, is any 2 shot weapon does 2 different damages 1 shot will be modified the extra shot will be base damage of what caliber it is...
You don't even need a high Charisma build. With Daytripper, Grape Mentats, and Cha clothing (a hat, glasses and trench coat) I bumped my Charisma from 1 to over 10. Passing the speech check at the door was simple, and I saved a ton on the cost of the gun as well. And I'll tell you, that stuff is way cheaper than a few fusion cores.
@@TrappedInFallout that's what I do. It doesn't weigh that much and I swap into my Charisma clothes before trading and such. (I just have to remember to change back to my armor before getting into combat! Sometimes I forget)
You can also use Charisma instead of 3 Fusion Cores, if u have Charisma 11 ( i use Grape Mentats and clothes with Charisma) when it comes of the Overseer in the vault
I would not say that. It's still a solid weapon to get early on and can still hold its own with the right perks even at end game. Most of the new weapons added as part of the Next Gen update don't actually replace this weapon although there are other options available but that was the case before the update.
Yeah, they really screwed the gun in VATS or for hip-firing. You can still use it for a sniper, or stealth build with a red dot. But no VATS, the bullets will go off in two different directions, it's insanely bad.
This weapon is waaaay overhyped, IMO. Its does a ton a damage, yes, but its also has a serious downside. The two-shot legendary effect make it almost impossible to use on VATS mode. Even with maximum hit chance, it still misses a lot of shots, like A LOT (more than 50% miss rate, at least).
I don't know. This is my go to weapon and I tend to land most of my hits with this. I do agree it's a little hyped though as there are better weapons out there for sniping. However its a great early weapon for sure.
@@TrappedInFallout Being highly unreliable on VATS is a huge downside for this weapon, IMO, cuz I use to rely a lot on VATS to deal with "I'm surrounded by a bunch of baddies" situations. Being ganged up by a pack of feral ghouls can be quite deadly at higher difficulties, so, being able to use VATS as a "crowd control" method (be it by incapacitating them of moving or just by one shoting them) it's an easy way survive.
The only thing I hate about this game is that the scopes do not align with the player's eyes. The players hold scoped sniper rifles as if they are holding regular rifles.
Yeah it would have been nice. To some it may be a small detail but honestly lots of small details always add up. I only found out about 3 or 4 months ago that you can literally see the bullets in weapon like revolvers when they are loaded in.
@@TrappedInFallout That's true about revolvers. 6 rounds are loaded separately into it's own chamber of the cylinder. Before a round is fired the cylinder rotates to line up a chamber with the barrel. But most of the guns in these games are FIGMENTS OF IMAGINATION of the developers, who may or may not know much about guns. All they really need to know for most of the guns is what it may look like on the outside. And obviously many are totally made up with no real-world analog.
Sorry for the silly question but is this enough for DLCs like Far Harbor and mods like Forest Village and Northern Springs? Or should I take something more powerful?
This should be enough. You can also get thr Spray and Pray that will also help - it can be found on Cricket who is found outside the same vault you ourchase this in. Feel free to checkout my latest video for some other great options.
@@TrappedInFallout Thank you. Some people say Spray and Pray absolutely shines when you no longer manage to keep yourself hidden from the enemy and as a result, get violently charged at by a large horde of feral ghouls or zombies especially when you aim at their feet and hopefully, also have full perks in Commando AND Demolition Expert (zombies are not encountered in vanilla game or DLCs but in some mods). By the way, I managed to find from Nuka World Explosive Handmade Rifle. Using it as a full-auto weapon for now.
@@TrappedInFallout Cricket may be found at Vault 81, outside the front of Diamond City, at Bunker Hill, or at the Settlement at the sewer plant east of Quincy, south of the Atomcats Garage.
I’m on a recent recent game. I got OG but have also gotten 2 double shot combat rifles. Gave OG to Cait and carry the other 2 where one is a sniper rifle and then the other small machine gun.
They are both very powerful weapons. Honestly, the 2 for 1 legendary effect is a very powerful one. Especially when you have so many perks and bonuses that can easily add up to damaging an enemy when they are at full health.
@@TrappedInFallout I love the 2 Shot weapons. Still waiting to get the 2 shot Gauss rifle. Had it in previous play throughs and it’s really overpowering.
@@sparks2spare782 Beat of luck. It's always a lucky find thing. I usually do that on my high difficulty playthroughs but it's pretty rare on survival mode.
Fully modded, this weapon is so powerful it feels like cheating. I also carry a Two-Shot Gauss Rifle for anything REALLY hard to kill. The only reason I don't use it all the time is because the ammo is way more expensive, although by that time I guess I could just buy as much ammo as I want.
Fair enough. It's worth getting this early anyway. Caps are tight early in the game but later on stops being an issue. Easy caps in settlements, selling random stuff, ammo as currency.
Sadly I'm not so lucky. However, just before handing over the cores you can actually drop them and then access the dialogue option and not actually have to hand over anything.
@@TrappedInFallout ah well fallout 4's dialogue checks are all charisma essentially if you didn't know so try a high charisma build, and oh man I didn't know you could do that either that sounds hilarious 😂
@@atomcatz69 I actually already have, sort off. I got my Charisma Special all the way up to around 16-17. After that I have never ever failed a single speech check in the game 😄.
After the new update Overseer's Guardian, and any other two shot weapon, is utterly useless in VATS or for hip-firing. You will have a spread worse than that of a shotgun. However it still works great if you use a scope or a sight, but no VATS. I turned my Overseer's Guardian into a .308 sniper rifle with a recon scope and glitched on the sniper barrel of a plasma gun for extra damage. You're going to nerf my favorite gun, I'll cheese it to make it better. My main gun is now the Problem Solver with a red dot.
The damage output of the weapon can change depending on some of your perks such as Rifleman etc. I probably had some ranks in some perks which would have increased the damage I do with the weapon.
I've never bothered with this rifle in my previous games, but I gave it a go in my current game. I'm glad I did! I almost wish I went to Vault 81 50 levels ago to get it, I suppose there's always 'next time' right?
Yes there is always that for sure. It's a solid weapon and getting it early enough will really give you a big boost in terms of damage for sure. It's almost always ends up being my own end game weapon.
I found a defiant gauss rifle at one point and its ridiculous how much damage it can do with one shot. Intentionally keep it with just one shot in the mag most of the time until i find something like a legendary enemy. Even without sneak multipliers etc I'm pretty sure it does close to 600 damage with one shot 😂
I totally agree. I am not too sure about the damage output right now but it does do a considerable amount of damage. Because it also doubles up as a long rage weapon, it also benefits from a range of perks etc. It's worth keeping that one for sure.
Yes, your critical meter will fill up faster but not twice as fast. I will explain this point in this Sundays video (sadly too complicated to explain here).
That's true, alternatively you can drop them from your inventory just before handing them over and the game will not realise that. You can then pick them right back up.
Sorry, but thoose Tips are plain and simple wrong. For the initial Ranged Shots from hiding there are better Weapons - like the "Ol Faithful" from Arturo (one of the best Guns aside the "Righteous Authority" from Paladin Danse. But the Perks and its recommedations are insaneley wrong. Choose ONE Type and stick to it - use the other Points to create Synergies (Bonus that add up - you will see what I mean later). First, some basic Mechanics: "From the Hip" means the shots you do without using the Aiming - just basic Crosshair. But, in VATS, this is determined by the Sights you have - Scope or Sights. This affects when using VATS if the "Steady Aim" Perks apply (Sights up to Reflex Sights) or the "Sniper"-Perks do (Scopes). Also, the AP-usage isn't fix - it changes by the Weapons setup. A short, light Barrel for example reduces the AP usage significantly. And Sights so use less significantly. Also, the Stock determines the usage of AP. Every reduction in "from hip Acc" also applys to AP-usage by increase it as well as Scoped increas in accuracy does - so there is a "aweet Spot" in the middle. The second Thing is the decision between "Rifleman" and "Commando" Commando is sureley a insane Damage boost, but the only way you get a Penetration Effect (ignores X% Enemys Defense) is the later Recievers, and thoose are not too high compared to the same Effect you get later in the Rifleman Perks. Yet, the Damage output overall from Automatic Weaponry is insane as well as the pure worth of Ammo you shoot and its weight when in Survival - just the "Damage per Bullet shot" falls off significantly. Also, Automatic Shots cost more AP again - and I prefer "lots of shots" each for them alone - as "clicking fast" I can do on my own and Jet is a good old Friend. So, for the *Setup:* - .308 is ok, alternativeley the strongest Damage+ Reciever you can get. - Short barrels - preferred the light and perforated Version for additional "Hip-fire Accuracy". - Reflex Sights (no Scopes!). - Short Stock (yeah, the basic shite, I mean it!) - Silencer Keep in mind, you can take the Mods out of another (same Type) Gun and put in in the one you want - you do not need the Crafting Perks to do so. This is needed to make this a insane Killer and work even with the Luck/VATS-Skills or without. Overall, this Gun now needs nearly no AP to be shot. Due to the Scope, it counts as "Shot from the Hip" in Vats - means, the Strengh:6 Perk "Steady Aim" applys - with 15%/30% Acc Bonus and a similar significant Damage Bonus later on when not using the "Aim" rather than the basic Crosshair or VATS. And that brings us to the *Perks:* - Steady Aim: Increases the "From the Hip"-Accuracy significantly - meaning, your Crosshair gets smaller and you gain +15%/+30% Acc in VATS overall plus the latter Damage Boon at 3rd Rank. The opposing Choice to this is "Sniper" when using Scopes. Also, Steady Aim makes up for the Accuracy Loss due to the shorter Barrel aka less range of that Weapon in VATS. - Rifleman: This is meant to ne the Single Shot version. Feel free to go "Commando", but I found it a hassle as constantly the Ammo was very costly and heavy. Also, Rifleman comes with a huge Damage Bonus later on due to its "Armor Reduction"-Effect in the last Ranks. - Mister Sandman: This Perk adds 15%/30%/50% Damage to a Weapon that has a Silencer Attached. Flat. - Ninja: Increases your Sneak Attack Multiplicator to x2.5/x3/x3.5 Times - Silenced Weaponry is harder to detect when fired so "get away and hide again" Guerillia is way easier as you can get much closer to Enemies without instantly be revealed when shooting. Also, you can potentially pick more than one Enemy in one VATS-Turn off with that Bonus as they do not reveal you before you hit them. - The whole Luck-stuff from 6-9 about saving up Crits and refilling AP/Crit-Meter. Makes you insaneley deadly when needed and allows you to constantly use VATS. - Bloody Mess: Little Damage Boost, but nonetheless - a Damage Boost. Advanced Perks: - Nerd Rage: Insane for a "last Stance" Situation. - Penetrator: First, you can now always hit Enemys behind Walls - basically a Wallhack for some decreased Acc - which is totally negated in the 2nd Rank. You shoot completeley hidden Enemies through Walls with VATS. - Concentrated Fire: Adds additional Accuracy when targeting Bodyparts in Vats - 10%/15%/20% Accuracy. And on the 3rd Rank, also 20% Damage. for the second, third and fourth Target. This means, as longer you shoot the same Part (like a Head), as more accurate you get and do more Damage. - Gun Fu: This adds Damage on targeting additional Targets in VATS. 25% for the second one, 50% for the third and from the fourth on - all Hits are Crits. This is not "Target-Bound; it just counts if you "swap" target. So, shooting A, then B and then A gain makes the Game count the third shot as "third Target". Most People know about Silencers and the Mr.Sandman Effect, but the most do not get the VATS-Mechanics and how insaneley powerful they are. As, Range is a "visibility"-Thing, and so "Penetrator" also reduces the reduction in Accuracy on range in VATS as well as Steady Aim haps a lot. You really become kinda Grammaton Cleric (if not knowing what I talk about, look up "Equilibrium fight Scenes") with this. BTW: If you are a Pistol user and need a Snipe - the Energy Weapons arew your Friend - especially the "Ol Faithful" and "Righteous Authority". Sharpshooters Grip (makes em a Pistol), Sniper Barrel and focussed Lenses as well as Reflex sights and a overcharged Capacitor. Have fun.
Wow this has got to be one of the most detailed comments I have had on the channel, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feedback. In terms of perks i basically mention all the perks that would help but I do mention if you go with automation or semi auto. I also tend to mention general perks too that would help. You comment feels like it would be much more suitable for build type content which is something I hope to do oneday. Thank you again for great comment. It will provide much food for thought for my future content.
@@Demone_PVP Yes and Yes. I ahvr always felt that they should have been a faction that you should be able to join. They are in FO3 but it's a little sad that you can't really join them. In a Fallout world, it would be nice if you could join literally any faction.
I got two shot radium rifle I use maxwell right now Get rad perk it double rad damage Problem with maxing perk can blow yourself up cause it tiled to to too many things
@@matthewgodwin6688 I found out they were among us when (at about level 10) I was running from a Deathclaw and almost went thru their camp east of the Slog. I curled around and let them help me kill the Deathclaw, then I sniped them from across the river.
At first let me thank you for the wonderfull video you made. The Overseer Gaurdian. My Former most favorit weapon and the only one in vanila gameplay. The Manwell rifleset from creation club beats it. If you use the Overseer Gaurdian as a sniper use; the best scope ofcourse use the single round option instead it saves bullets a lot and gives the best damage per bullet. And yeah like you said the 308 rounds is what you need. I prever the silenser. Note; if you can get your hands on a two shot sniper rifle that will do the best damage as a sniper. You must have a high real life luck to get your hands on this one, haven't seen one in years. There was a glitch to get them always, but they patched that glitch. If you use it as a combat rifle, my favorit, Use no scope at all, it will hinder you. I use the ring or dot. And again I'll use the single round 308 bullets and a silenser. In the vanila game, there is no any combat rifle better as the Overseer Gaurdian. Its pretty common to get a second or even fourth two shots combat rifle(s) leggit. High change a legendary enemy drops one. I laughed and got mad same time as you entered vault 88 and rushed to Alexis. Its no need to say that you'll missed out a lot of fun missions and lore wich you can only do at first arive. If you wanna be a completionist like Iam, you would ruin your change there. lol
Hi Herman, thanks so much for your detailed feedback. I actually use the weapon as both a Sniper and a Combat Weapon, depending on the play style. I personally go with a Sniper build and this usually keeps me happy up until the endgame. That said if I manage to find a wrleapon that out performs it then I do switch it out. Basically the OG is a very versatile weapon that you can modify based on your playstyle.
I've been using the OS and although not as high I have noticed that too. Then again I don't tend to us3 the OS in VATS that much. But it's happened to me plenty of times, before the update also.
@@Trsshpandasa7867 You will need ranks in perks such as Rifleman as you say. Ranks in others such as Bloody Mess also help. You can also attack suppressors and upgrade to a higher damaging ammo. This should help to make the weapon deal close to the 200 damage.
Charisma. Some magazines help. Some clothes, hats and glasses help. Drink a beer and use Grape Mentats help. Without all that I have 6 Charisma, with all that I have 17 Charisma. I bought the gun for about half what you paid and I paid with .38 rounds instead of caps. Plus a few extra .38 rounds so I walked out with the gun and all her caps.
It is so depressing people are forced to go this route. When most of us just mod it in. Someday education will be at a level that no one will need these accessibility devices.
I'll put my hand up and say that I'm a little confused y what you mean. It's a pretty standard weapon, easy enough to get and not everyone is able to use mods. With the right perks and kit this can also be considered an end game weapon.
Just because some people don't use mods does not mean they were forced to go that route. I prefer to play vanilla without a ton of mods. I like to PLAY the game. I play alone. It is not a competition to me.
Interesting video. But... I hesitated to watch the next recommendation because of one thing... How many times did you say "go ahead"? At one point you actually said the phrase "go ahead and keep to the right" 🫨 Please STOP! Then maybe I'll give it a like.

@edmartin875 Thanks, I've wondered about other old players. I have been gaming since forever and think it's great for keeping my brain going. It's not easy keep up with all the settlements, where you stashed what in what add-on like NukaWorld or Far Harbor. At my home base I probably have 20 containers holding different stuff. My ex wife and I had a convenience store with a game room back in early 80s. Have loved games. Wife just tolerates my gaming, but grandkids love it!
Here's a guide to get this weapon fast. Step one: have at least 6 charisma
Step 2: get 10 by grabbing the black-rim glasses in the mole rat den under red rocket where you find dogmeat, grabbing a militia hat from the minutemen in front of the Museum of Freedom, and buying a set of clothes that gives +2. If you can't find a set of clothes, there are two daytrippers in the concord speakeasy.
Step 3: Use your high charisma to get the max amount of caps for Solomon's, Moe's, and any other quest in Diamond City that gets you caps.
Step 4: Start Diamond City Blues and get the chems.
Step 5: Use high charisma clothes to enter Vault 81
Step 6: Use the caps and chems to buy Overseer's Guardian and anything else you need.
Bonus Tip: You get half the mag whenever you pick up a weapon. Pick up all the submachine guns while rescuing Nick to get lots of .45 ammo
Enjoy!
That's a great set of steps, thanks so much for sharing. I am sure that this will certainly help folks out.
You could find some gold bars and some resources to sell near sanctuary, including the fusion cores the overseer gonna ask.
Tho, cricket might also hang out near the cave entrance. So I usually try to find enough caps before going to Vault 81 for both Overseer Guardian plus Spray and Pray.
Spray and pray with explosives rounds with high demolition is insane.
@@dbank6107my all time favorite weapon.
@@dbank6107 Thank god for that little submachine gun. Got ambushed by a full legendary Enclave patrol after doing Speak of the Devil. My only hotkeyed weapons were Righteous Authority and Spray N Pray, RA didn't do shit. But once I switched and started hosing them with explosive rounds, fight ended real quick
The Two Shot legendary effect is probably one of my favorite legendary effects. It is rarely if ever the best option for a given situation, but it is consistently a good option for lots of situations. The effect triggers with every shot regardless of your perks, your target, time of day, how addicted/withdrawn you are, in and out of VATS, or how many rounds in the magazine. While it doesn't actually do double damage like you might think from the description of the effect, it is still a nice damage boost for many gun types. I do think Furious and Wounding are better effects for full auto guns and Instigating a better effect for snipers, but Two Shot, and especially the Overseer's Guardian, is just a good enough gun for most situations that it becomes my most used gun.
I agree, it's pretty much my all round weapon to. Very handy, easy to get and plentiful ammo too. The only time I don't tend to use this is usually when I'm going full melee. I'm happy I'm not the only folk out there who thinks this is a pretty solid weapon.
not quite as good in vats actually lots of times I had only one round hit instead of 2...still a great weapon trait overall though
I have a combat shotgun with the same effect. It makes clearing tight areas so much easier.
@@Paulito941 That's the new update. Before the update, two-shot weapons like Overseer's Guardian just did double damage. Now there is a spread when you hip-fire or use VATS. So Overseer's guardian is good for a sniper rifle now, but not as good close range.
This weapon is so clutch! Started the nuka world dlc at lvl 11 and overseers guardian carried me the whole way.
It's a solid weapon. When paired with the right perks this is a monster of a weapon. Add some sneak and your basically going to remain totally hidden and own everything.
You cant enter nuka world without level 30 bro....
I usually start nuka world at level 1 to get the problem solver 😭
How did you get to Nuka World at level 11 when the quest doesn’t appear until level 25…
@@Bruschi354 you can just go straight to the transit center, hell I've started it at level 1 before... don't do that it's hell
You can gain access to the vault for free by making a speech check. Put on any CHA clothes, drink some alcohol that increases CHA and stims that do the same. Once you have done that save the game and do the dialogue. Say you got the pip boy from vault 111 and then that you want to do some trading. When the overseer comes on the coms, there should be a speech option. If it fails, just load and try again. Might take a few tries depending on how high you managed to get your CHA.
That's a great bit of advice, thanks so much for sharing.
CHR
You can actually turn away during the dialogue with the overseer and drop the fusion cores then pick them back up. You still get the caps and access then you can pick your fusion cores back up.
I can get plus 5 Charisma with clothing, hat, and glasses, then drink a beer and take a Grape Mentats for 6 more Charisma. Since I normally run on 6 Charisma that puts me up to 17. But I usually just hand over the fusion cores since I have tons of them and seldom use Power Armor.
@@edmartin875 same
Yeah, I pretty much use the Overseer's Guardian with reflex sight 80% of the game. Then a 2 shot 10mm pistol for close range, 50cal sniper for long range, chinese grenade launcher for anything big.
The Chinese Grenade Launcher is slowing becoming my favourite weapon.
Grape mentats, beer and cloths. Get charisma to 11 and skip the fusion cores. Grape mentats is 5, beer is 1, hat glasses and clothes is 4. Even with a base charisma of 1 you can get in for free.
That's an interesting thought, I have done that in the past but not straight out of Vault 111. I'll give it a try and see if I can actuget it practically for free. Thanks for sharing.
Upgrade ur automatic weapons to lever 5 and switch this to the short ported barrel instead of long and to the strongest automatic version and you'll be blown away with how amazing it is, I do that on every playthrough
I'll have to give this a try and see how it feels like. I usually go with long range as that's my go to based on the perks that I take.
If you don't want to waste your fusion cores drop them before you talk to the overseer, then pick them up again. You get in for free
Or speech your way in for nothing anyway, since no matter how low your charisma is you're able to pass any speech check
Ah that's a great tip, why didn't I think of that for the video. I went with the Fusion core choice to show that path but I could have taken your advice. Ah well, I will remember it for my next round.
@@HollowHighlander Realy, you can pass any speach check on any charisma lvl??
@@HermanBogaers yep just make a quicksave before it and if you fail, try again
@@HollowHighlander ah ofcourse the good old save load trick.
The spicy part is when you use the attachment swap exploit on a random legendary weapon like a pipe pistol and add things like mirv (so double mirv or a Gatling laser with double shot and weapon attachment exploit)
Your absolutely right. It's a great way to get some really unique weapons created. I personally created the Mirv Pipe Pistol. Its basically my crowd control helper.
I did this first time I heard of the attachment swap glitch. Crashed my game firing way too many MIRVs.
@@Craxin01 I am sure many of us have been there.
I like using The Overseer’s Guardian as a powerful sniper gun. Although the Ratslayer will always be my favorite sniper gun, too bad they didn’t include it and some of the other weapons from Vegas that would have been great.
Me too, I do like to use it as a sniper weapon also. Until I get something a little better in terms of power output, The Overseer's Guardian serves a great purpose. That said it's even been part of my end game builds too.
For me must have guns in game are :
1. 10mm Deliverer , get for free from Railroad first mission , best start 10mm in game .
2. .45 Pray'n'spray easy to get , just need to get cash & luck to meet Cricket , issue might be ammo as she it it quickly , but this is most OP weapon in game that you can just get "it just works".
3. .308 The Overseet's guardian is great .308 sniper weapon , only issue can be having 3 fusion cores at the start of the game .
4. 5.56 December Child is much better that assault rifles ... as dont look as shit , but shoot 5.56 ammo .
5. shootgun Le Fussil Terribles , is best shootgun for vats and is pretty easy to get , aleternative is Justice .
6. 7.62 Splattercannon , I allways paint it deciples colors and call it "Tarantal" ***
... but most op guns in game are ... bolt action pistol .308 & .50 pistols + sneak built in vats , just op.
@engineergaming8920 I agree, anything that has a great damage potential always helps.
@@adammarcinkowski-ko3el That's a great list there. Personally I love The Delivered, OG and Justice. They work well with my personal build styles.
I als pair up Power Armor with Heavy weapons and that really makes my games interesting.
a short barrel, a reflex aim, the suppressor and the stead hands perk for massive DPS, or a semi auto with long barrel for crits. Shine both ways
They both sounds pretty lethal. Yeah, in general with the right perks, kit and weapons many do become pretty dangerous very quickly.
I’m going medium range with it… semi auto but reflex sight instead of sniper and I went long barrel for free range since I will never be hip firing it
The fusion cores is the easiest option. You can persuade your way in there too if you have high charisma.
I usually start my character off with high charisma so I don’t really have to do that
Yeap, that's right. Further more this is a great weapon to have early game. If you then compound this with certain perks then you ate good to go early in the game.
The Kiloton Rifle obtained from Far Harbor's Children of Atom faction has the best bang for your buck, no pun intended. Ballistic, explosive, AND radiation. Plus, easily used in single shot for sniping or rapid fire for crowd control. Doesn't look like you've done a video for that. Though, The Overseer's Guardian is easily one of the best guaranteed obtainable weapons in the vanilla game, no save-scumming required.
I agree and nope not done a video for that yet. I am currently going through the base game for FO4 and once I feel I have a good coverage of most of it I will then start looking at DLC content. And yes, it's a solid weapon.
After the update, .308 double shot rifle is useless in Vats. It almost always MISS the who shots, incredible. For scoped rifle, the brst hability is "double damage if target has full life"
I do like to use instigating over two shoot. Just huts harder I think.
You can get three cores at the army dump just east of Sanctuary on the first day.
Two from the assault bot you self-destruct and one in the chest next to it.
After you help Nick Valentine there are 4 cores in the bedroom area of his apartment.
That's true. Better yet you can also use another trick. Just before handing over the core, throw them out of your inventory and you won't have to hand over anything.
You would STEAL from our buddy Nick ? How can you go so low ? I bet you steal from your family too.
The gun is good for a long range sniper gun, but i prefer to use it in middle/close range, reflex sight, short stock, quick eject mag, even short barrel can decrease it's
AP cost using it in VATS significantly, giving way more shots at full AP. (scopes, full stocks, big magazines, long barrel all increase all weapon's AP cost.).
It's a really solid weapon and one of my personal favorites. Most time when I am creating content, I end up using this weapon to help me take out enemies for content preparation. it really is a useful weapon and basically get's the job done.
And increases it's weight.
Any gun with the Deadeye legendary effect is OP. The slow time feature lasts long enough for you to put in multiple head shots - no need for VATS. I've taken down Mirelurk Queens with a Deadeye .45 pipe rifle.
The Deadeye effect is one of my personal favourites. It almost feels like a hidden mode in the game that activates when you go into scope mode. Sometimes it's not about the power but the accuracy of your shots.
@@TrappedInFallout You nailed it. Deadeye gives you the time to line up a shot and two or three followups and do it again as many times as necessary. It makes the .44 and the Western Revolver much more practical primary weapons.
@@higgs923 Yeap, I even had a build specifically around weapons with the legendary effect. Chems are super useful when combined with this. Slow down time with Deadeye is sooooo OP.
I use this weapon more than any of them.
Have the damage up 180 by maxing out the gun nut perk & rifleman perk.
It's a solid weapon. It almost always makes it part of my endgame kit.
Any new start of Fallout 4, I always pick up this weapon first thing. If you know what you are doing, other than dealing with a few bugs in Sanctuary, you can get it without ever being in a fight first.
It is relatively easy to get early which is a blessing. I still tend to have this weapon during my endgame.
Explosive combat shotgun is well above the overseers guardian.
Overseers Guardian is a good gun in the early to mid levels. But can easily be outclassed later on.
The explosive damage alone on the explosive combat shotgun outclasses the rifles double damage, as well as having AoE.
The only drawback is you can't use it point blank or in tight quarters.
Wounding's DPS is better. Also the OG is only maximized on a sneak crit build, it can easily hit 1k damage a shot at high levels with the .308 conversion.
OG can be used late game, it’s not the best weapon but it is certainly usable
Fair points however playstyle and builds/perks play a part too. If your talking about just the raw damage then I'll give it to you. But with the right perks and playstyle (sneaking) you can get some impressive one hit kills on almost anything, even towards the end game. But to do that you would need to have a build centered around sniper weapons. I guess the same can be said for explosive weapons too.
@@TrappedInFallout funny thing with the explosive legendary effect is it applies to the bullet.
The combat shotgun fires 7 bullets, which the explosive stacks to up to an extra 30 damage per pellet, which can all crit and do even more.
Combine that with suppressor, sneak crit, and explosive skills, the damages is easily over 1000 and does AOE. Making it good for wiping out large groups with single shot even better then the Fat Man
Literally the only major issue with the explosive combat shotgun is you are absolutely not guaranteed to get it. You can spend HOURS save-scumming to get it. I've actually gotten bored constantly getting it each playthrough, so I started switching up what builds I try for. Last was melee only, and while tough at first, you can become surprisingly OP with the right build and weapons\armor combo.
My go to is the 2 round 10mm and rank up pistol damage to double plus the crit part. Everything falls but Super Mutants. I use the auto plasma rifle for that. Done son
That's not a bad combination at all, sounds good. At later levels with the right perks you will also br able to take out Mutants with the Pistol also.
Making the gun Simi auto instead of full auto increases its range to around 200. I love this gun, almost as much as my model out Delieverer. The overseers is my go to.
Mime too. Its virtually part of my end game kit on most of my builds. It's too good to pass up.
As with any stealth builds, you will want the ninja perk as well.
That's right, I probably should have mentioned that. I basically focused on perks that will get folks started but the Ninja should have been done that I could have said for sure.
The thing is, unless it was fixed, is any 2 shot weapon does 2 different damages 1 shot will be modified the extra shot will be base damage of what caliber it is...
That is true. That said the base damage of the guardian is pretty high so it's still worth having th3 effect on this weapon.
You don't even need a high Charisma build. With Daytripper, Grape Mentats, and Cha clothing (a hat, glasses and trench coat) I bumped my Charisma from 1 to over 10. Passing the speech check at the door was simple, and I saved a ton on the cost of the gun as well.
And I'll tell you, that stuff is way cheaper than a few fusion cores.
Your right. What's lovely is that you cannjust carry this stuff around and equip it or use it to get that bump across a number of special stats.
@@TrappedInFallout that's what I do. It doesn't weigh that much and I swap into my Charisma clothes before trading and such. (I just have to remember to change back to my armor before getting into combat! Sometimes I forget)
@HeadHunterSix Its just a nice way to get around not having to have high special stats for something you may not use as often or can do later.
@@HeadHunterSix Been there, done that.
You can also use Charisma instead of 3 Fusion Cores, if u have Charisma 11 ( i use Grape Mentats and clothes with Charisma) when it comes of the Overseer in the vault
I agree, it's an easy way to get past the speech check for sure.
Looks like an awesome rifle to have and great guide showing how to get it and modify it buddy!😃🤘
Hey Reckless, thanks so much for your comment. It's a great weapon and one of my personal favourites.
Warning!
After the next gen update this weapon is completely useless
I would not say that. It's still a solid weapon to get early on and can still hold its own with the right perks even at end game. Most of the new weapons added as part of the Next Gen update don't actually replace this weapon although there are other options available but that was the case before the update.
@@TrappedInFallout sure
And what you said that was valid
It's just sad what they done with my little baby
@@Derhone Reminds me of The Godfather movie. "Look what they did to my boy" after Sonny got ambushed with tommy guns and shotguns.
Yeah, they really screwed the gun in VATS or for hip-firing. You can still use it for a sniper, or stealth build with a red dot. But no VATS, the bullets will go off in two different directions, it's insanely bad.
Just got it last night. Loved that armor that vault had for 7 +k too. Didn’t have enough at lvl 4
Thankfully you will be able to visit again so should be able to purchase it later.
@@TrappedInFallout great channel thank you very much you saved my azzz with this video!
Also before the conversation dump all your fusion cores in a box or something except the three most empty.
That's a great tip, I wish I had thought of that.
This weapon is waaaay overhyped, IMO. Its does a ton a damage, yes, but its also has a serious downside. The two-shot legendary effect make it almost impossible to use on VATS mode. Even with maximum hit chance, it still misses a lot of shots, like A LOT (more than 50% miss rate, at least).
I don't know. This is my go to weapon and I tend to land most of my hits with this. I do agree it's a little hyped though as there are better weapons out there for sniping. However its a great early weapon for sure.
@@TrappedInFallout Being highly unreliable on VATS is a huge downside for this weapon, IMO, cuz I use to rely a lot on VATS to deal with "I'm surrounded by a bunch of baddies" situations. Being ganged up by a pack of feral ghouls can be quite deadly at higher difficulties, so, being able to use VATS as a "crowd control" method (be it by incapacitating them of moving or just by one shoting them) it's an easy way survive.
The only thing I hate about this game is that the scopes do not align with the player's eyes. The players hold scoped sniper rifles as if they are holding regular rifles.
Yeah it would have been nice. To some it may be a small detail but honestly lots of small details always add up. I only found out about 3 or 4 months ago that you can literally see the bullets in weapon like revolvers when they are loaded in.
@@TrappedInFallout That's true about revolvers. 6 rounds are loaded separately into it's own chamber of the cylinder. Before a round is fired the cylinder rotates to line up a chamber with the barrel. But most of the guns in these games are FIGMENTS OF IMAGINATION of the developers, who may or may not know much about guns. All they really need to know for most of the guns is what it may look like on the outside. And obviously many are totally made up with no real-world analog.
Charisma is the way. Though, wish i had that high Charisma in real life.
It helps for sure lol. Or having that quicksand option in real life would have also helped.
Excellent video, thanks!
Thank you for your feedback and comment.
I literally have a two shot 10mm, Combat Rifle and Hunting Rifle in my newest play through! Hahahaha
That is amazing, nice one. It will help a lot.
Sorry for the silly question but is this enough for DLCs like Far Harbor and mods like Forest Village and Northern Springs? Or should I take something more powerful?
This should be enough. You can also get thr Spray and Pray that will also help - it can be found on Cricket who is found outside the same vault you ourchase this in. Feel free to checkout my latest video for some other great options.
@@TrappedInFallout Thank you. Some people say Spray and Pray absolutely shines when you no longer manage to keep yourself hidden from the enemy and as a result, get violently charged at by a large horde of feral ghouls or zombies especially when you aim at their feet and hopefully, also have full perks in Commando AND Demolition Expert (zombies are not encountered in vanilla game or DLCs but in some mods). By the way, I managed to find from Nuka World Explosive Handmade Rifle. Using it as a full-auto weapon for now.
@@TrappedInFallout Cricket may be found at Vault 81, outside the front of Diamond City, at Bunker Hill, or at the Settlement at the sewer plant east of Quincy, south of the Atomcats Garage.
I’m on a recent recent game. I got OG but have also gotten 2 double shot combat rifles. Gave OG to Cait and carry the other 2 where one is a sniper rifle and then the other small machine gun.
They are both very powerful weapons. Honestly, the 2 for 1 legendary effect is a very powerful one. Especially when you have so many perks and bonuses that can easily add up to damaging an enemy when they are at full health.
@@TrappedInFallout
I love the 2 Shot weapons. Still waiting to get the 2 shot Gauss rifle. Had it in previous play throughs and it’s really overpowering.
@@sparks2spare782 Beat of luck. It's always a lucky find thing. I usually do that on my high difficulty playthroughs but it's pretty rare on survival mode.
Fully modded, this weapon is so powerful it feels like cheating.
I also carry a Two-Shot Gauss Rifle for anything REALLY hard to kill. The only reason I don't use it all the time is because the ammo is way more expensive, although by that time I guess I could just buy as much ammo as I want.
This weapon almost always end up being part of my end game kit, it's too good not to use.
I have the kneecapper 308 combat rifle, works like a charm!
Honestly, I love the Kneecapper effect. I relish the moment I get my hands on a weapon with that effect when playing in Survival mode.
For a weapon that's fairly easy to get . the legendary effect can be gotten on any 45. Rifle. Save your caps. Play more
Fair enough. It's worth getting this early anyway. Caps are tight early in the game but later on stops being an issue. Easy caps in settlements, selling random stuff, ammo as currency.
I always pass the speech check and keep my precious fusion cores but that's just me 🍄🐢
Sadly I'm not so lucky. However, just before handing over the cores you can actually drop them and then access the dialogue option and not actually have to hand over anything.
@@TrappedInFallout ah well fallout 4's dialogue checks are all charisma essentially if you didn't know so try a high charisma build, and oh man I didn't know you could do that either that sounds hilarious 😂
@@atomcatz69 I actually already have, sort off. I got my Charisma Special all the way up to around 16-17. After that I have never ever failed a single speech check in the game 😄.
After the new update Overseer's Guardian, and any other two shot weapon, is utterly useless in VATS or for hip-firing. You will have a spread worse than that of a shotgun. However it still works great if you use a scope or a sight, but no VATS. I turned my Overseer's Guardian into a .308 sniper rifle with a recon scope and glitched on the sniper barrel of a plasma gun for extra damage. You're going to nerf my favorite gun, I'll cheese it to make it better. My main gun is now the Problem Solver with a red dot.
Yes, VATs has somewhat become very unreliable. Shots tend to miss often enough now. But aiming down the barrel works wonders.
@5:04 The .308 receiver shows me just 90 damage ? (ps4) Why is that?
The damage output of the weapon can change depending on some of your perks such as Rifleman etc. I probably had some ranks in some perks which would have increased the damage I do with the weapon.
I've never bothered with this rifle in my previous games, but I gave it a go in my current game. I'm glad I did! I almost wish I went to Vault 81 50 levels ago to get it, I suppose there's always 'next time' right?
Yes there is always that for sure. It's a solid weapon and getting it early enough will really give you a big boost in terms of damage for sure. It's almost always ends up being my own end game weapon.
By a stroke of luck I got a two-shot lever action, but I have yet to start Far Harbor so I don't have any ammo.
Ah, feels like a great reward just out of reach. Sounds like your really lucky. Just a waiting game now ha ha.
Also Cricket the caravan trader stops by there at Vault 81 n you can buy the Spray n Pray off her
That's absolutely right - you may get lucky and be able to get both - both of which are amazingly great weapons.
Cricket can also be found in front of Diamond City, Bunker Hill and the Settlement at the sewer plant (can't remember the name).
I found a defiant gauss rifle at one point and its ridiculous how much damage it can do with one shot. Intentionally keep it with just one shot in the mag most of the time until i find something like a legendary enemy. Even without sneak multipliers etc I'm pretty sure it does close to 600 damage with one shot 😂
I totally agree. I am not too sure about the damage output right now but it does do a considerable amount of damage. Because it also doubles up as a long rage weapon, it also benefits from a range of perks etc. It's worth keeping that one for sure.
This is the only weapon I carry, other than grenades. But I use it as an automatic.
Same here lol, it's my go to weapon and almost always is part of my final end game build.
Now I am wondering if it counts one shot as two hits in vats for crit building purposes...
Yes, your critical meter will fill up faster but not twice as fast. I will explain this point in this Sundays video (sadly too complicated to explain here).
Question, is a two-shot handmade rifle from nuka world better, worse, or the same as the Overseers Guardian?
Well it depends on the base damage of the weapon. If its lower than the OS then no, and if its higher then yes.
@@TrappedInFallout Which of the 3 options he asked about do the 2 yeses apply ? LOL.
Thxs again Moe ❤
No problem at all Darkness, I really appreciate your support 😄👍
If your charisma is high enough you can get in without giving up precious fusion cores
That's true, alternatively you can drop them from your inventory just before handing them over and the game will not realise that. You can then pick them right back up.
This is my number 2. My rus556 is number1
Ha ha this is a solid weapon and it usually makes it on my end game builds.
Sorry, but thoose Tips are plain and simple wrong.
For the initial Ranged Shots from hiding there are better Weapons - like the "Ol Faithful" from Arturo (one of the best Guns aside the "Righteous Authority" from Paladin Danse.
But the Perks and its recommedations are insaneley wrong.
Choose ONE Type and stick to it - use the other Points to create Synergies (Bonus that add up - you will see what I mean later).
First, some basic Mechanics:
"From the Hip" means the shots you do without using the Aiming - just basic Crosshair. But, in VATS, this is determined by the Sights you have - Scope or Sights.
This affects when using VATS if the "Steady Aim" Perks apply (Sights up to Reflex Sights) or the "Sniper"-Perks do (Scopes).
Also, the AP-usage isn't fix - it changes by the Weapons setup. A short, light Barrel for example reduces the AP usage significantly. And Sights so use less significantly. Also, the Stock determines the usage of AP. Every reduction in "from hip Acc" also applys to AP-usage by increase it as well as Scoped increas in accuracy does - so there is a "aweet Spot" in the middle.
The second Thing is the decision between "Rifleman" and "Commando"
Commando is sureley a insane Damage boost, but the only way you get a Penetration Effect (ignores X% Enemys Defense) is the later Recievers, and thoose are not too high compared to the same Effect you get later in the Rifleman Perks.
Yet, the Damage output overall from Automatic Weaponry is insane as well as the pure worth of Ammo you shoot and its weight when in Survival - just the "Damage per Bullet shot" falls off significantly.
Also, Automatic Shots cost more AP again - and I prefer "lots of shots" each for them alone - as "clicking fast" I can do on my own and Jet is a good old Friend.
So, for the *Setup:*
- .308 is ok, alternativeley the strongest Damage+ Reciever you can get.
- Short barrels - preferred the light and perforated Version for additional "Hip-fire Accuracy".
- Reflex Sights (no Scopes!).
- Short Stock (yeah, the basic shite, I mean it!)
- Silencer
Keep in mind, you can take the Mods out of another (same Type) Gun and put in in the one you want - you do not need the Crafting Perks to do so.
This is needed to make this a insane Killer and work even with the Luck/VATS-Skills or without.
Overall, this Gun now needs nearly no AP to be shot. Due to the Scope, it counts as "Shot from the Hip" in Vats - means, the Strengh:6 Perk "Steady Aim" applys - with 15%/30% Acc Bonus and a similar significant Damage Bonus later on when not using the "Aim" rather than the basic Crosshair or VATS.
And that brings us to the *Perks:*
- Steady Aim: Increases the "From the Hip"-Accuracy significantly - meaning, your Crosshair gets smaller and you gain +15%/+30% Acc in VATS overall plus the latter Damage Boon at 3rd Rank. The opposing Choice to this is "Sniper" when using Scopes. Also, Steady Aim makes up for the Accuracy Loss due to the shorter Barrel aka less range of that Weapon in VATS.
- Rifleman: This is meant to ne the Single Shot version. Feel free to go "Commando", but I found it a hassle as constantly the Ammo was very costly and heavy. Also, Rifleman comes with a huge Damage Bonus later on due to its "Armor Reduction"-Effect in the last Ranks.
- Mister Sandman: This Perk adds 15%/30%/50% Damage to a Weapon that has a Silencer Attached. Flat.
- Ninja: Increases your Sneak Attack Multiplicator to x2.5/x3/x3.5 Times - Silenced Weaponry is harder to detect when fired so "get away and hide again" Guerillia is way easier as you can get much closer to Enemies without instantly be revealed when shooting. Also, you can potentially pick more than one Enemy in one VATS-Turn off with that Bonus as they do not reveal you before you hit them.
- The whole Luck-stuff from 6-9 about saving up Crits and refilling AP/Crit-Meter. Makes you insaneley deadly when needed and allows you to constantly use VATS.
- Bloody Mess: Little Damage Boost, but nonetheless - a Damage Boost.
Advanced Perks:
- Nerd Rage: Insane for a "last Stance" Situation.
- Penetrator: First, you can now always hit Enemys behind Walls - basically a Wallhack for some decreased Acc - which is totally negated in the 2nd Rank. You shoot completeley hidden Enemies through Walls with VATS.
- Concentrated Fire: Adds additional Accuracy when targeting Bodyparts in Vats - 10%/15%/20% Accuracy. And on the 3rd Rank, also 20% Damage. for the second, third and fourth Target. This means, as longer you shoot the same Part (like a Head), as more accurate you get and do more Damage.
- Gun Fu: This adds Damage on targeting additional Targets in VATS. 25% for the second one, 50% for the third and from the fourth on - all Hits are Crits. This is not "Target-Bound; it just counts if you "swap" target. So, shooting A, then B and then A gain makes the Game count the third shot as "third Target".
Most People know about Silencers and the Mr.Sandman Effect, but the most do not get the VATS-Mechanics and how insaneley powerful they are.
As, Range is a "visibility"-Thing, and so "Penetrator" also reduces the reduction in Accuracy on range in VATS as well as Steady Aim haps a lot.
You really become kinda Grammaton Cleric (if not knowing what I talk about, look up "Equilibrium fight Scenes") with this.
BTW: If you are a Pistol user and need a Snipe - the Energy Weapons arew your Friend - especially the "Ol Faithful" and "Righteous Authority".
Sharpshooters Grip (makes em a Pistol), Sniper Barrel and focussed Lenses as well as Reflex sights and a overcharged Capacitor.
Have fun.
Wow this has got to be one of the most detailed comments I have had on the channel, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feedback.
In terms of perks i basically mention all the perks that would help but I do mention if you go with automation or semi auto.
I also tend to mention general perks too that would help.
You comment feels like it would be much more suitable for build type content which is something I hope to do oneday.
Thank you again for great comment. It will provide much food for thought for my future content.
Nice tutorial👍 but now im going to get it
Keep it up love your content
Thanks so much Demone. I really appreciate your support as always brother.
@@TrappedInFallout no probleme its normal but i have a question for you : do you like the enclave and should it be in the next fallout as a faction
@@Demone_PVP Yes and Yes. I ahvr always felt that they should have been a faction that you should be able to join. They are in FO3 but it's a little sad that you can't really join them. In a Fallout world, it would be nice if you could join literally any faction.
I got two shot radium rifle I use maxwell right now
Get rad perk it double rad damage
Problem with maxing perk can blow yourself up cause it tiled to to too many things
Sadly yes, its a thing. You can get done by your own weapons.
@@TrappedInFallout yes new update with enclave looks nasty
@@matthewgodwin6688 I found out they were among us when (at about level 10) I was running from a Deathclaw and almost went thru their camp east of the Slog. I curled around and let them help me kill the Deathclaw, then I sniped them from across the river.
Make it a .308
That's not a bad idea. There are more ammo around at the cost of slightly less damage.
@@TrappedInFallout.308 does more damage than the .45 that it uses originally
At first let me thank you for the wonderfull video you made.
The Overseer Gaurdian. My Former most favorit weapon and the only one in vanila gameplay. The Manwell rifleset from creation club beats it.
If you use the Overseer Gaurdian as a sniper use;
the best scope ofcourse use the single round option instead it saves bullets a lot and gives the best damage per bullet. And yeah like you said the 308 rounds is what you need. I prever the silenser. Note; if you can get your hands on a two shot sniper rifle that will do the best damage as a sniper. You must have a high real life luck to get your hands on this one, haven't seen one in years. There was a glitch to get them always, but they patched that glitch.
If you use it as a combat rifle, my favorit, Use no scope at all, it will hinder you. I use the ring or dot. And again I'll use the single round 308 bullets and a silenser. In the vanila game, there is no any combat rifle better as the Overseer Gaurdian.
Its pretty common to get a second or even fourth two shots combat rifle(s) leggit. High change a legendary enemy drops one.
I laughed and got mad same time as you entered vault 88 and rushed to Alexis. Its no need to say that you'll missed out a lot of fun missions and lore wich you can only do at first arive. If you wanna be a completionist like Iam, you would ruin your change there. lol
Hi Herman, thanks so much for your detailed feedback.
I actually use the weapon as both a Sniper and a Combat Weapon, depending on the play style. I personally go with a Sniper build and this usually keeps me happy up until the endgame. That said if I manage to find a wrleapon that out performs it then I do switch it out.
Basically the OG is a very versatile weapon that you can modify based on your playstyle.
@@TrappedInFallout OG???
@@HermanBogaers Overseer's Guardian 😄
@@TrappedInFallout Ofcourse I knew that, just wanted to be sure you did🙄
@@HermanBogaers ha ha fair enough. I thought you would, in fact I thought you may be referring to something else and I'm missing something 😄
*Since the next gen update any 2shot weapons like this miss almost always in vats even at 95%*
I've been using the OS and although not as high I have noticed that too. Then again I don't tend to us3 the OS in VATS that much. But it's happened to me plenty of times, before the update also.
Pray & Spray seems better.
It is a solid weapon and I think it will take out stronger hordes of enemies more easily and quickly.
Three - Oh - eight calibre. ;)
As long as it works and gets the job done.
@@TrappedInFallout No criticism intended, just letting you know.
Awesome.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
You can talk your way in with charisma mods having to unload fusion cores isn’t correct
Are you sure. You can persuade the vault dwellers to let you in without having any Fusion Cores. You need to pass a speech check for that.
Is the 308 barrel your using the non- auto one
Yes, for the OG I tend not to use the Auto modifications to help preserve ammo as much as possible while taking advantage of single double shots.
I habe this weapon, but for some reason mine only shoots 1 round.
That's right. When it shoots, it shoots two bullets but only 2 bullet is removed.
I just got my weapon how do i make its damage do 207? Do i need both the rifle man and commando?
@@Trsshpandasa7867 You will need ranks in perks such as Rifleman as you say. Ranks in others such as Bloody Mess also help. You can also attack suppressors and upgrade to a higher damaging ammo. This should help to make the weapon deal close to the 200 damage.
@@TrappedInFallout ahh ok I think I got rifleman max rank and .308 too! It's about 137!
@Trsshpandasa7867 Yeap, that sounds about right.
0:06 I literally thought that was Preston Garvy at first 😂 getting killed. You fooled my eyes MO!
I would never ever kill Preston, like ever ..... And show it on video, never.
@@TrappedInFallout
LIES! ALL LIES!
Just messing with you.
@@thehunter5607 😂👍
The best sniper
I would agree, it almost always part of my end game kit.
Only suckers have to pay the fusion cores to get in. 😂
Ha ha if you can't talk your way in then there is that option lol.
Can I get a discount in your dad's shop?
Lol I'm trapped so not sure how to communicate with the outside world.
Why is it so cheap for you? They wanna charge me over 3000 caps.
Barter is directly affected by Charisma as well as any skills that affect barter. So the higher your Charisma, the lower the prices at vendors.
Charisma. Some magazines help. Some clothes, hats and glasses help. Drink a beer and use Grape Mentats help. Without all that I have 6 Charisma, with all that I have 17 Charisma. I bought the gun for about half what you paid and I paid with .38 rounds instead of caps. Plus a few extra .38 rounds so I walked out with the gun and all her caps.
This is the Nerf version to the original
I will have to look that up, I'm still using that gun. In fact was using it today for the Next Gen quests.
Me who uses a plasma shotgun. 😁😁😁
As long as it gets the job done ha ha.
It is so depressing people are forced to go this route. When most of us just mod it in. Someday education will be at a level that no one will need these accessibility devices.
I'll put my hand up and say that I'm a little confused y what you mean. It's a pretty standard weapon, easy enough to get and not everyone is able to use mods. With the right perks and kit this can also be considered an end game weapon.
Just because some people don't use mods does not mean they were forced to go that route. I prefer to play vanilla without a ton of mods. I like to PLAY the game. I play alone. It is not a competition to me.
Technically this weapon is a Two hit. Lol
True, it's just too good to not have in your inventory.
Interesting video. But...
I hesitated to watch the next recommendation because of one thing...
How many times did you say "go ahead"? At one point you actually said the phrase "go ahead and keep to the right" 🫨
Please STOP! Then maybe I'll give it a like.
Probably a phrase that I used instead of something like 'do this, do that'. Point taken, thanks for the feedback.
