This is actually the gun I was looking for the entire game. It's a laser rifle, it fires blue lasers, it looks cool, has a large ammo pool, and get better the more you fire it. Perfect for my playstyle.
I really wish they could come up with something that is exclusively for full health builds that could compete with bloodied builds. I get tired of hearing every “best build” is bloodied.
Isn't that the point of bloodied though? The bonuses are a trade-off for having low health. I'd definitely prefer being "bloodied" at full health as I'd be near invincible in comparison
Idk if I’m doing something wrong but I just finished my Bloodied Explosive V63 and it just doesn’t do near as much damage as my Bloodied Explosive Enclave Plasma, even with the damage numbers being higher. Somebody help me lol
With my bloodied unyielding build with the V63 including relevant perks and food buffs I’m pushing 622AP…the new Endurance perks/build has been a revelation!
I found hip fire in PA a very viable way to play this build. Though I do switch to a plasma flamer for bosses/bullet sponges as keeping a high stock of regular fusion cells can be tough in the long run.
I always recommend getting 4 pieces of weapon weight reduction (80% vs 90%, you can't get 100%), and then get 1 piece with chem/drink/food weight reduction.
I've had it for a couple weeks, and have messed around with it a lot. And here are my thoughts: This is an energy automatic that is like a full-auto single shot rifle. It is in-between the two (auto rifles and single-shot rifles). It has very high damage for an automatic, but also very high AP cost in VATS. That means there are only 2 ways to play it. 1. A non-VATS open sights weapon or 2. A high burst damage VATS weapon with low staying power. You can use it in VATS, but that requires a HEAVY min-max into AP and food like Canned Coffee plus a VATS-cost star. OR you can use open sights and go for something like Aim Damage and a larger mag and rely on not using VATS. I like it best using Bloodied, Explosive, and VATS Cost, with a lot of AP boosting cards and armor and food. THEN it turns into a beast. Remember to use Tank Killer, all the Science cards, all the Commando cards, Bloody Mess, Action Boy, Tormentor, etc... You can push this thing to do stuff no other automatic energy weapon can, but it takes a good understanding of it, the right cards, and a proper build, and strategic usage with some AP boosting food and drink thrown in sometimes. But get the balance right, and you can go through West Tech zapping lvl 100 super mutants in VATS only taking a shot or two at heads to kill, never run out of VATS, and get more ammo back than you fire.
@AstralWaters You just wanna watch with that, I seen a video that said if you get the gun any other way than by getting it through the mission then the blueprint/schematics won't be there for you when you do finally do the mission to retrieve it. I'm hoping it was just for that person and not a universal glitch
They actually pretty much have the same stats. Brotherhood has one more point for ballistic and SS has one more point to energy. So nothing noticeable. Not to mention the SS is WAY easier to get.
Quad with Explosive is Excellent🤯 Real Men only Hip Fire or Aim Down Sights - Using the Built-in Auto Target Switching Aim-Bot (Vats, Gun Fu, Concentrated Fire) is for Gurls!
Yes! and no. With the right build, Plasma Caster is one shot, one kill in VATS. But you also might miss the shot because it's either sniper or a standard issue Storm Trooper blaster. This weapon is "weaker" but you don't notice because it's faster! Most weapons in 76 are like that though, power built on your customisation. There are videos that show how to increase your Plasma Caster damage specifically as well. It's my primary weapon now and does as much damage as my bloodied Cremator. Also remember that Bethesda tweaked the vulnerability of enemies. There are some even my strongest weapons are barely effective.
Dude I am pretty much always at Max caps, so i am using Aristocrat ( + 50% damage per totality of caps ) and Explosive (+20% Damage) and V.A.T.S. Optimized along with Overclocked capacitor and the Forceful Stock. i target the head of the enemy and pull the trigger and almost one shots most enemies instantly.
@@PikachuPizzaHiveMc you can do the caps stash farm, sell purified water to the vendors for the daily max and if you have anything cool and rare you dont need, you can sell it for a good amount. I now sell bloodied legendary mods for 20k caps and they sell in less than 5 minutes so pick your poison and you will have max caps in a couple of days
It is def high AP usage but with the new Endurance perks/reworked perks along with my unyielding armor/food buffs/perks I’m running with 622AP and insane AP regen, especially if your a herbivore silt bean soup/muttfruit juice/taro juice/company tea is a must now.
Hard disagree. With decent knowledge of the necessary buffs, mutations, gear, legendary effects, and perks there is no reason other than user error that a viable VATS based build for this gun can't be implemented and easily maintained. It can even be made possible in a PA build. We aren't in the mechanics of a few years ago.
@@HayastAnFedayi whether you do it or not was never part of the conversation so I’m unsure why you’re bringing it up. The comment and conversation was solely about the AP cost allegedly being “way too high”, not whether anyone is/will/wants to use one or another. So yeah, little lost with the relevance and need for your reply inside this discourse.
@@oTheMapleKind last time I checked I wasn’t having a discourse with you, I was commenting on someone else’s comment, so feel free to Ignore me or not ignore me, I can’t help you comprehend what I originally said and why it’s not “user error”.
I use quad on mine and I use it for bosses when you max out the heat bar it doubles the damage so it puts bosses like earl in the dirt pretty quick without needing a proper build to even use it. Plus the ammo is cheap as hell to make or convert for.
One general question about the armor. When in PA, the normal armor effects get scaled down some points. Doese the effects on my armor still apply or do they get overritten by the PA effects?
I like the gun, am having fun with it, but I'm glad I got it at somebody's vendor and didn't bother to grind for it. The player I got it from sold them with the Overclocked capacitor and the Forceful Stock. The lack of any sort of sight or optic isn't too bad, the hip firing is reasonably accurate, and the reload is quick.
that was probably me i've been selling them in my base exactly like that for a few days now ( for about 6K to 7K in caps depending on the daily demand for them )- :P
im done with bloodied builds, everyone and their mother is a bloodied, hardly see any other builds, on social media you get idiots gloating about how good they, but every time i see a bloodied build in game, they are high up using fixers and what not, thinking its a skill, when surviving on the ground requires more skill, all the builds need buffing and nerfing, the lacks variety these days
I have this weapon but struggle to find mods apart from the ones available from the dealer who gave me the plans- any suggestions good folk of the wasteland?
I came to the realization that this gun is actually in a good place right now. Not because its very strong or anything but because bosses arent really worth doing right now (except encryptid) and gameplay currently rather revolves around expos and public events.
Thanks for another great video my wonderful Canadian sausage! I was waiting to see a good representation of a b2525 to compare to what I've been using (q2525), and man the damage on bloodied really slaps. I thought mine already slapped, but bloodied just... well it slaps harder.. I reeaaally wish this thing had a reflex sight, not only for free aim, but for that sweet ap cost cut. I have a very ap focussed build from my years of rocking a fixer, so I'm actually able to get off a good 12-15 consecutive shots in vats with the Carbine. With gun fu I can just do 2 shot bursts and clear out at least 6 mobs before ap needs to refresh, which takes 2 seconds without buffs. And that's pleasant. Quick note too for all my fellow bloodied build fixer users - this gun is definitely NOT silent, so don't worry about stealth, just yolo and start blasting. Tonnes of fun with this gun, best new weapon since the auto axe imo. Thanks again for the content brother, hope to run across you again in the wasteland some time! Much love from Australia
A lot of people are saying this weapon is week and not worth using but I wanna see for myself 🤷🏻♂️🤔looks like a lot of fun I’m a bloody commando build I have demolition expert equipped and not science cards guess I’ll have t switch my cards 😢

I really hope that the ghoul update shifts thing around. I'm also tired of that.
I agree, I am full health and yes bloodied would be the way to go but I much prefer full health especially as a stealth commando
Juggernaut's needs a significant buff. That or Gourmand's. That'll definitely help out with a full health build if that were to happen
Isn't that the point of bloodied though? The bonuses are a trade-off for having low health.

I'm curious how the overheat feature on the carbine works with furious.
I haven't upgraded the merchant yet, but got lucky and found someone selling these for 2k caps. It's my new favorite weapon.
Don’t have it with you when you go to unlock the weapon, you won’t get the schematic.

Just got this gun. Having some fun with it not gonna lie even with the high vats cost.
Bought one and added 3 random legendarys. Got a medics 25% weapon speed and 15% reload speed.
I learned that i rather build for a vats crit laser rifle and have an explosive carbine for long range tagging at events.
Cool! Was waiting for this!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Was wondering, what perks would you change on the full health build since the new update and perk changes
It's 2:00 am 💀 lol. I'm loving the new weapon.
Brotherhood recon armor is better than ss armor, more damage reduction for the Brother
They actually pretty much have the same stats. Brotherhood has one more point for ballistic and SS has one more point to energy. So nothing noticeable. Not to mention the SS is WAY easier to get.

Might be a dumb question, but why bandolier if we're using fusion cells?
Bloodied is way too much maintenance. Full health is brainless and mostly stress free.
