    Very nice, excellent run! Justice is a pretty good weapon, makes you feel like a badass. I'm glad it holds up on Survival.
    If I did this challenge, I'd ditch Per and Agi. Shotguns are one of the few weapons I prefer not using VATS with. Instead, I'd get 2 Luck for Scrounger right away, and enough Str for Steady Aim. That way I could have a reduced spread without slowing my speed to aim down the sights.

    • @TheValiantBob
      @TheValiantBob ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'd say str and agi for rooted and moving target. You do need to get close to your opponent after all. Sprint up to them, and then stand still while firing, and then sprint to next target

      A typical Survival run without the use of the Vertibird grenades will have far less time pass than a comparable Very Hard run with Fast Travel. I was surprised how little time had actually passed in my first Survival Playthrough when I compared it to another playthrough with similar hours played.

    Just recently found your channel and love the fallout vids. I have a few suggestions for runs to try. 1. An unarmed play through. ( fists, knuckles power fist....etc) another is one I like to do though not on survival. I call them mountain man runs . Only leather armor/ clothing, chems, helmet, pre war food semi/ full auto weapons or terminal hacking . Just bolt, lever action, double barrel shotgun or revolvers and possibly a combat knife. You can only heal with a stem pack if you cripple a limb.

    Man, I once used a bottomless double barrel shotgun.
    Normally, the double barrel is very slow. It's balanced to fire as quick as you pull the trigger, but you can only get two trigger pulls before reloading. But with the bottomless modifier and some jet, an advanced double barrel shreds literally everything in the game to tiny bite sized chunks.
    There was only one name for such a beast. I called it the Super Shotgun.

    Great video. The double barrel does have some advantages over the combat shotgun but they are subtle.
    Iirc the high end receivers do more damage. The RoF is also much faster for those first two shots. Sometimes that can make all the difference.

    • @WillowPlaysGames
      @WillowPlaysGames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It has less damage on every receiver, at least that's what I saw on the wiki.

    • @gilgamecha
      @gilgamecha ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Maybe the higher damage receivers drop earlier than the corresponding combat shotgun receivers? Or maybe I just remember wrong.
      But that ability to get two shots off very rapidly can be a reason to use a double barrel rather than a combat shotgun in a tight spot.

    from experience the combat shotgun is top tier when dispatching raiders and gunners alike, even the occasional deathclaw.

    I would've counted energy weapons with Splitters as "shotguns" just for variety. But anyways, great run!

    I'm doing a "Grandpa with only a double barrel and a sledgehammer" playthrough, but I think it would be fun to watch you do a sledgehammer only run, maybe throw in some quirky stuff too like explosives or something!

    The Double-Barrel has 1 important advantage over the Combat Shotgun, which is lower AP cost in VATS.
    Couple this with Quick Hands rank 2, and you can fire many times in one VATS activation. This basically makes up for being only 2 shots.
    In addition, a good Double-Barrel build will have PER 10 for Concentrated Fire, since you can take so many shots in VATS.
    With 8 AGI already, for Quick Hands, may as well go to 10 for Gun-Fu. The Double-Barrel is one of the few powerful weapons with enough VATS activations to make this perk worthwhile.
    If your starting build is 9 PER (+PER Bobblehead), and 9 AGI (+special book), you’ll have 5 points leftover. I would recommend distributing them however you see fit between STR, END and CHR.
    Gun Nut is not necessary, since heavily modded Double-Barrels are sold early on, and the best versions not long after.

      Nice build idea. Alternatively, go high agility and luck. Go watch Fudge Muppets Gunslinger build. Just replace the double barrel for the Pistols.

  • @Ricardo_Rick

    About survival: something i always hated is that you can't customize it, i wish i could add some of the survival things but keep others thinks as in the other difficulties, sadly you can't do that (at least on PS4), so yeah, i'd say it's ok to enable fast travels.
    About the run: i really hate that apparently nobody realises the enrgy weapons are shotguns, just like you can mod them to become pistols, machineguns and rifles you can actually made them be shotguns, surely the legendary one you had might be better but i think the energy ones might have helped in conserve ammo.
    Don't get me wrong tho, i'm not talking about you specifically, it's just something that always bothered me in every video where people list "shotguns" and forget the energy weapons.

      I knew they could be made into shotguns, it's one of my favorite ways to run a laser rifle, in my crafting run I build my favorite version of a laser rifle. Automatic shotgun. I didn't use them in this run because I plan to save them for other runs.
