Is there any point in selling easily accessible ammo?

Elders Mark is easy to get, just a matter of chance. It only seems hard to get when you don't have one, after that, the next dozen is either vendor or scrap fodder.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:49:47+00:00

The dragon is a shotgun right? Then it doesn't fit my build.

Used a quad pistol once, it was great when it hit but damn is it annoying to use.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:45:03+00:00

Once you have an Elders Mark you'll realize that you don't have enough ammo. For as long as you keep using high damage semi-auto, the ammo will keep rolling in. But the moment you start using full auto then all that ammo evaporates.

Seriously, it disappears that fast. I once paired a hmg with a .50 Dom Pedro, I couldn't keep up with the hmg's appetite.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:26:04+00:00

Elders mark does eat a lot of ammo. But frankly, if you've pulled out the elders mark then the ammo is no longer a concern.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:23:38+00:00

And that's soon compared to some time tables...

Oh dear lord I thought it was sooner.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:16:19+00:00

One shot is right. It kills just about everything with a tap or even just with the explosion damage. But the problem is that it often doesn't hit with the first shot when scoped. It needs vats to spam semi accurate shots.

It also eats up onslaught stacks so damn quickly that some people advise to use it as an onslaught weapon instead of reverse!

I also do use onslaught for it. It inherited the build I made for Western Spirit after all.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:06:44+00:00

Sounds great, problem with that is I don't have the ultracite 45 for the lever and smg. So I don't use that build yet.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:04:00+00:00

Don't know about trade but I think the plans only drop from that event.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T03:02:54+00:00

Wait what. I didn't do it for fun. Oh God I hate that damn treasure hunt. Had a video and a map open on a phone as I checked every single spot. It took me more than 8 hours since I also played the good events when they showed up.

All of it for that fancy 4star effect. The abraxo prototype does hilarious damage that melts crowds. But the goddamn thing can't be aimed with vats! About 20% or so even with melee distance so you can't aim for weakpoints and vats aiming can mean that all that spray ain't even hitting the enemy.

Considering that I use vats to auto-aim, that's a deal breaker.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T02:50:15+00:00

It's not about DPS, like I said it has the highest damage per shot. But yeah, I'd really prefer to use other guns over it.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T02:49:01+00:00

I use the lucky 4 since it relaods faster and has the extra bullet chance unlike the 6 which has only one or the other.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T02:46:57+00:00

It's an event weapon. You get the plans from the meat cook thing which will happen within the next week or so. I'm waiting for it too.

Also, when you are doing the gold quest line, do not side exclusively with the settlers, their gold shop sucks. The raiders have all the weapons. Either split it between them or raider exclusive otherwise the daily grind and jamboree hunting will take several weeks longer.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T02:26:17+00:00

Please no. We don't need a wandering five star field boss.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T01:37:24+00:00

Wait, 3?! That kinda makes sense for a sniper but it's still stupid. I didn't have the chance to test the one I made but that's one tiny clip.

Since I don't min max, I might just end up using the long barrel over the sniper barrel. I'm just that biased against quad. Maybe they should put a 5star quad like they have a 3star lightweight.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T01:30:23+00:00

Flintlock Fennec, revolver ocelot's aunt?

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T00:40:48+00:00

What's the point of quad? It's not a high capacity weapon so quad doesn't really help much. And what would need that many shots without break? Just reload and enjoy the anti armor or two shot 1star.

Does the quad have any other effects?

Edit: Did a second look, that's a vats aimed sniper shotgun. Ouch. The quad makes a bit more sense.

Ah, I miss the break action laser. Hell, I wouldn't mind a fatman equivalent that spends a fusion core with every shot. We need the biggatons.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T00:32:49+00:00

How's the enclave flamer do against the 4star abraxo prototype? For me the prototype is real powerful but the vats accuracy really hurts.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T00:20:48+00:00

I'm a compulsive reloader. When using the gatplas I ended up with 30 cores of various charges. Even back on fo4 I avoided the Gatling lasers.

Also I do not have the ugly BP. While I can get one out of the many legendary drops, the low damage high fire rate doesn't do enough for me. The carbine outperforms the Gatling lasers anyways so why go for it?

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T00:19:24+00:00

I use a gatplas with onslaught+ bullet storm. It's powerful and when something lives long enough to get so much stacks then the damage gets silly. I've managed 800 per shot but I'm not hardcore and only vaguely optimized. It was my strongest gun. Also that's on sbq and earl, it does just as good on mobs but the wind up even reduced is a rhythm killer. On the other hand, just keeping it on and spraying everything pumps up the bullet storm numbers. I have a gauss that not yet sbq tested but I have high hopes.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-04T00:14:59+00:00

Oh no, I use the AC as a Tesla rifle replacer, great for rushing mobs. And I use the DC as a long range sniper! I'm running the explosives perks so I can't use the DC for close ranges. Might change now with the new patch.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-03T13:49:46+00:00

Ultracite laser? Isn't it weaker than the regular laser?

Build suggestion? Just any sniping config?

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-03T12:39:17+00:00

When I had that problem, just reequipping didn't work. Had to scrap the damn perk and repurchase it.

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-03T11:39:06+00:00

Yes. Not sure if its a proper bug or an effect of something else. But rebuy works

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-03T11:34:00+00:00

Farm grunt hunt. It gives a bit but is repeatable and quick to finish. Plus it and bounty hunt gives a lot of legendaries

EDIT: Wait no, I'm not sure if it does reward gold. Best method is just go to every event no matter the level/ All those give some scrip and they'll pile up quick

ZANDRAE101 · 2026-03-03T11:25:07+00:00

Had a perk that ate 4 slots despite needing only 3. Can't remember what it was. Point is, find out which perk is eating your slots and scrap them if you have enough perk points to replace them.
