So I thought to save confusion in the Elder Scrolls thread I'd create one for Fallout

So I am efficiently killing Super Mutants now, and they are easy to do if you have a Hunting Rifle, Mini Gun, Combat Shotgun or Scoped .44 Magnum

another good weapon that can be obtained early on - sniper rifle/reservist's rifle (super sniper rifle)

also the chinese assault rifle is pretty good (okay probably the best all round non named weapon in the game but...) 
or my personal favorite - the 10mm pistol  :D (i killed a behemoth with this weapon of awesomeness ;D)
Only mostly AWOL.

Speaking of the 10mm pistol, I used it to take down 3 Super Mutants to gain a mini-gun and .32 ammunition for my Hunting Rifle as I had known when i encountered them

I'm at the point in the game where I just use Plasma weapons (or more accuratly, Alien weapons) because they just deal more damage. Assault Rifles and the like have become superfluous...

...except for the combat shotty. No matter what i fight, how far in the game I get, that weapon still OWNS!  8)

I can't use heavy weapons at all (my skill level is shocking) so I've never tried using a Minigun.

is it really worth the amount it weighs?

correction: energy weapons suck in close range situations. bring an SMG (sydney's if you can) or the terrible shotgun (not the most accurate weapon ever but is amoung the most powerful)

The only problem with combat shotguns is that they break pretty quick and the chinese assault rifle does more damage per second than the plasma rifle
the plasma rifle is better at range however (AKA very near pin point accuracy)

i dishes it out in the damage sector but it is a bit heavy so if you use it you are not going to be carrying around as many weapons and the other problem is the spool up time can cause a few problems at close range

if you want a chaingun head north out of megaton... and keep going across the river... you'll find a church with a sniper in it. Kill him and nick his gun (the reservist's rifle more damage and higher rate of fire over the standered sniper rifle but only a 3 round clip) keep going north. If you encounter death claws thats a good thing

about 3/4 of the way up the map (maybe a bit more) you'll find the deathclaw cave (or something like that) now inside there there is several deathclaws, a bobble head, And Vengeance. a SUPER laser chaingun. it is one of the best weapons in the game as the only weaknesses it has is 1)weight 2) ammo can be a bit hard to come by near the beginning of the game

Chinese Assualt Rifle kicking arse at the moment, I havnt bothered with the main quest so i;m wandering around doing some side quests

i have the gauss rifle and its the only weapon i use. OMG its to fricken powerful! at 100% with heavy weapondry, it can kill anything lesser then a super mutant in one shot. with an overlord it only takes like 10 or so shots. i havent tried it on a behemoth cause i havent fount the other two yet. the only problem im having is finding microfusion cells for my ammo.

Yeah, that weapon is awesome.

In fact, all the gear you get from Operation: Anchorage is fantastic (Stealth armour, Power armour, loads of ammo, 'nades and the Gauss rifle)

I have about 100 shots for it left, 'cos i over-use it  :D

i like the gauss rifle too but
A) it is useless in close range combat
B) it can only be repaired by shops and items found on mother ship zeta

i generally use small guns over energy and big guns because they look cool  :D
(especially the infiltrator/perforator)

they are shops
Only mostly AWOL.

Eana Taw atsawl

as in it can only be repaired by:
1) shops or
2) Items found on Mothership Zeta

not shops found on mothership Zeta. Easy mistake to make, let's not be patronising

@ tawtewng

I agree, using those 'Ye olde weapons' actually feels much cooler than using energy weapons, but hey, I go for whatever has the most power.

Recently, I've been using the Shock sword which I got from Operation Anchorage, because it's just no fun sniping with the Gauss rifle. I just wish there were more options when it came to good small weapons (.44 scoped magnum is the only 1 handed small gun that can match energy weapons.)

I never bothered to get the sniper rifle (why bother when you have the Gauss?), and that is what it always comes down to. I WOULD use the 10mm pistol to look badass, but after fighting for 6-7 minutes wasting my ammunition, i just end up saying "Screw this" and nuking the blasted enemy with an energy weapon.

In short, to those people who use small weapons all through the game, I salute you!  >:(

*pulls the range trump card*
the problem with ALL energy weapons is that they are all long range weapons. (apart from the metal blaster...but that's a special one and the tri beam laser rifle which is sh*t)

and the xuang long chinese assault rifle is the best weapon for all round useage i have found (36 round clip 57 damage easy to fix rapid fire long range reasonable accuracy and takes forever to break)

and it isn't even very hard to get.

(but i still use the perforator over it. because..)

... Silenced Assault Riffle? á la COD6...

Sir, I am converted. I will aquire that weapon immediately...
*looks out of the window, out onto the Earth*
...just as soon as i can get off this blasted space craft!

I went to the Mothership in search of cool laser weapons. The best thing I've found is a plasma weapon that fires Exploding Green Goo... (Technical name there...):
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Drone_Cannon

but the other alien weapons, for all their power, look a little silly...  ;D

Only mostly AWOL.

CulBlu

yea, i guess i'm spoiled on the weapons department. all i do is wander around post apocolyptic D.C. with a plasma rifle, the alien blaster (for rare occasions) and Enclave power armor

oh, did i forgett to mention my friendly, unkillable partner in crime Fawks??  ::)

Fawks=oped, but hey, i'm not complain. His impossible to killness just saves me money on stimpacks :D

(ps, never had any dlc for the game, and only played on 360)

i have dog meat and the Mr gutsy (sergeant something or other can't remember)
then i have the perforator (scoped assault rifle with a silencer)
the terrible shotgun (super powerful combat shotgun)
the reservist's rifle (high power sniper rifle)
the xuang long assault rifle (super Chinese assault rifle)
a scoped 44 magnum (keep forgetting to get the named one)
a hunting rifle (haven't gotten round to getting old painless)
and a railway rifle (dunno why... but it is fun)

and a shed load of other stuff in my locker of doom (fat man, firelance, shocksword ect)
i would say i'm armed fairly well but........... missing a boomstick and the kneecapper and..... the mega fat man.... ect)
Only mostly AWOL.

hmmm... would you happen to hav the mirv :o??

I have pretty much all the named weapons except for a few (the chinese assault rifle and the kneecapper) I even decided to keep butch's knife after I slaughtered him, I keep all the heavy ones in my own bunker of doom. I hijacked the bunker/fortress where you find the t-51 power armor, it's so cool down there. I occasionally go up to muh spaceships to see if they found more stuff for me. I got all area found too the hardest one was probably that one vault where there's like 1000000000rad per second, it was a real bi*ch to do XD. So now all I basically do is going around killing everything I find with an occasional side quest here and there. Just sitting and waiting for New Vegas.
