What One Weapon Taught Me About Fallout 4 

He needs to face Chuck Norris in single combat to see who reigns supreme. Chuck Norris may be formidable, but can he handle two wives?

I like president Dave! He tastes great with a nuke cola and a side of Blamco Mac and cheese !

​@sanguiniusonvacation1803 have you tried a president dave stew?

@@gaelangaudette9576 One wife alone can make a man go crazy. Dave is everything and all at once. He has such an amazing mind, that one single wife can't handle it, otherwise she would go insane from him instead him getting crazy from her. He uses his mathematical wisdom to load balance himself on two wives, so they last a bit longer.

I hate Dave

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that the syringer we (didn't) use was the friends we made along the way?

Truth

yep. The gun is pretty rare to come by on low-lvl, THE AMMO IS ABSURDLY INSANELY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO GET, the results you get from using it are terrible and feel unfinished. You could say so about pretty much half the guns in this game (while not even counting the numerous useless pipe-guns) god this game is boring torture without mods.

To be fair Deacon does say "These days even being able to SPELL railroad is a good sign!" When the lone wanderer asks about the password being so easy

​@@1000drmanthe lone wanderer? Isn't he in the capital wasteland?

@@sliggoomaster7213 Oof you right I meant the Sole Survivor

Hehehehe password123

Maybe, but I think it makes sense that a syringe isn’t quite as powerful as .308 Winchester. I don’t think every play-style someone can come up with should be as viable as every other. Fallout already goes way out of its way to make melee and unarmed builds viable when they really shouldn’t be in a world full of guns. I don’t think the syringer was ever meant to be a full-on play style, just a situational sidearm. It can frenzy enemies to act as a quick distraction instead of having them all gang up on you, it can pacify or paralyze aggressive people you don’t want to fight or want to sneak past. The pacifist play style was certainly never intended to be viable, which is why every single pacifist play-through of Skyrim or Fallout 4 requires a bunch of bug exploitation and “I didn’t kill them, it was the blood loss from me whacking them with this spiked shield that killed them!”

@@QualityPen You are telling me that there couldent be more options for upgrades/ammo types.... Like we have poisons that kill with micrograms. In a setting with mini nukes, aliens, etc. It is not much of a stretch honestly lol.

Yup. In ever single one of my play throughs I end up primarily using a recoil compensated .308 combat rifle with a reflex sight

@@naodamdetsyon6929 I end up with 50 cal sniper with one of a few legendary mods for dam, a combat shotty with armor pen and a semi auto rifle with double shot or radiation dam.

I feel like the gear is balanced around legendary bonuses because of how common they are. the pickmans knife for example. I have it on me in my current playthrough and it shreds enemies with ease despite me having zero points in melee related perks outside of 5 strength. hell i took kellogg down with ease (though nick did help me track kellogg by constantly running up to him and pistol whip the bastard when he went invisible)

That sounds like it would actually happen in one of the Shroud Comics, lol

Same, threw it away after that though

There is no Syringer in FO3 only the Dart gun.

@@killzoneisa true, however it could have been functionally the same in Fallout 4. It would've been neat if it was ineffective against metal based armors, like Power Armor

@@pragimus1979 yeah never got how you can take on people in PA when it shouldn't work.

The FO4 syringer mod makes it MUCH better. More dart types and overall makes it actually fun to use

The Dart Gun in Fallout 3 was godlike, it crippled the legs of enemies, hitting a Deathclaw and watching it slowly come at you while you could unload a machine gun into it and killing it as it reached you. Shoot on melee enemies and they just lose.

Doesn't that apply to anything made by Bethesda?

More like moddo

that my motto as well. I listed a bunch mods i use in a comment up top that makes it feel more like Fallout.

no matter how much i mod fo4 the game still feels janky and looks kinda ugly, just that fallout 4 look on the other hand with new vegas, i swear with the right mods it can look better than fallout 4. game just looks so crisp idk how to describe it no enbs btw because im not gay

Hey man, "it just works!"

A lot of the schematic weapons in F3 just aren’t worth the time. The junk jet in particular is useless. The railway gun has a certain humor value to it. The only one worth making is the dart gun. Excellent for crippling deathclaws.

There's a really expensive rifle at the gun runners in New vegas that does nothing but waste ammo

@@CorvoFG The Shishkebab is arguably the best melee weapon in base FO3.

@@ratman2580 the Bozar, I think, I actually bought it in my first playthrough cuz I thought it sounded powerful, it was about as good as the Assault Carbine in terms of damage but it had no durability, definitely not worth the price tag

Recharger Rifle in NV is definitely ass. Kinda weird how the Recharger Pistol meanwhile is pretty good.

Even being able to do missions like taking out Raider areas for the Gunners to see them take those areas over and giving you "safe zones" to be in for helping them and more trading areas.

+1 for both of these ideas

@@natelarrieu7437 or hire a squad to defend settlements. They are mercs after all.

They had bounties board in DC but never used it They have great ideas and even do bring them in but for whatever reason never expand on it

Again, modders doing a better job with the Gunners. KingGath's Sim Settlements 2 makes them actually interesting.

Literally stealing my jokes from other videos

@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 you don't own Chuck Norris jokes lol

@@Kiralmao Got ya. Just fuckin with ya

That reminds me of when I threw a grenade in such a way in call of duty that it rolled on a prone dude enough times to kill him. I even have the video on my channel lol.

The way i see that weapon is the same way as i see illusion magic in the elder scrolls, a utility tool best used for stealth

Yes, and it still sucks at that unfortunately.

dart gun is not for stealth its for deathclaws

True. Thank god for mods. Make the game better

@@fumothfan9 Absolutely.

I occasionally use it for the Frenzy effect until I find a ranged weapon with the same effect. Pretty good for Supermutants, they can rip each other up when they decide to.

Dump yourself in atoms glow. Prove yourself to the king ☢️

@@dirtywookie9868 thus as requested i shall do for atoms gift

Thanks for the kind words, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I never thought my videos would help people cope with such tragedies, but I am happy that they have helped you. Stay strong, friend.

@@Rad_King No, thank you for your content Fallout is something i always wanted him to learn and play- so i feel like in someway hes watching these with me, learning what i always wanted to teach him Stay Radiated And walk upon adams glow!

I had the same problem. I realized too late that the ammunition wasn't classified as ammo, so they won't use it. It's too bad, as a support weapon it could have been really useful.

Back when microtransactions weren't even possible. Times were good. I personally like Rise of the Reds more but yeah Shockwave's pretty spicy.

Probably the best way to think of F4 overall.

I also live like this. Can be bleak but makes the bright moments brighter.

No matter the the shortcomings of Fallout 4, I always find myself going back to it every few months. Same with Skyrim. Obviously Skyrim is on another level than Fallout 4, but they’re the 2 games I could play forever.

Hello, fellow stoic.

I too use a pistol that fires large orbs of radiation as a utility tool and not to melt the flesh of any human, synth or robot that gets in my way. the radium rifle also exists, but it’s just the best of both ballistic and radiation.

could have been in the beta tho, my stepdad secured a limited time closed beta test role for me back then. not originally, but I took one look at the game and took over, he preferred the round-based entries by interplay way better anyways. pre-ordered FO4 the moment I could ^^

"Pete The Wargamer" commented 3 days before you about making such mod but he did not know if it still worked after the latest updates. Is it still usable?

I'm tempted to second this motion. Tks-Mantis was my go-to for a while, then I kept looking and found Omega Initiative, and finally the King here. Pancuronium is a rising creator, just under 10K subs, made a few F4 vids.

⁠​⁠@@Gyrfalcon312I read your name and that Tks Mantis sounded really familiar and went to look at his channel. Did Tks Mantis delete bunch of videos or something? I remember him being a commentary channel. Omega Initiative and Radking are awesomesauce
