My first gun was a minigun when I went to the Mall. It was funny for awhile to kill people with wads of money, or plates (which veer annoyingly, best to stick with roundish ammo like coffee cups compact things). There was a time when I was into the Rockit Launcher, but meh. I wouldn't worry so much about Endurance as I would about Strength, but I see you have covered that. I'm playing with some restrictions, but my Endurance is only 6. I'm currently rolling with a Big Guns, Unarmed, Explosives guy. Is the Rock-It-Launcher a decent weapon, or more of a joke? I was thinking of getting it early on while big guns and their ammo are scarce. also it is a lot easier than navigating the city ruins with all the super mutants in it as well.

Nothing can fight in water at swimming depth, not even a mirelurk lol. Swimming is the safest, quickest, and easiest way know to get there. Since I do the radiation quest for moira right after I do that I'm not worried about the radiation. I also plan to take a swim down the pontimac river to rivet city to get the intelligence bobblehead before I reach level 3 lol. I think I will go with the setup I listed. I typically take it for the first 2 level ups as the other perks are lame, and lady killer just doesn't seem good enough being that most enemies are male, or genderless, and it is only a 10% boost. Also, being that I have the GOTY edition with Broken Steel will I be alright to take a few intense training perks or would I miss out on some good perks. You'll also want a STR of at least 6, so you can get the Strong Back perk big guns are heavy. Also, a good Repair skill will allow your character to fix up sellable weapons and sell them high big guns (except for the Rock-it Launcher) are expensive to feed. I'd recommend also tagging Unarmed (also runs off Endurence) and relying on a weapon like Deathclaw Gauntlet or Fisto! for up-close work Big guns' chief weakness is that they run out of ammo a lot. High Intelligence, so that his/her skill points will rise faster. High Endurance, since that directly affects Big Guns.

Different Special layouts, recommended perks to take, and any other advice you think of. I would like any advice and recommendations I can get. I have actually thought about bringing it lower, but i might need it for some perks. when something is multiplied by 0 you get 0 which means no criticals with the mini gun and a few others. Some people may make a point for luck being good, but in reality most big guns have a critical multiplier of 0.

Endurance because each point of endurance equals 20 health. Strength would be for a little extra carrying capacity so I can haul around a minigun, a missle launcher, and other goodies as well as use heavier armor. is pretty much useless for big guns, and pretty useless over all without being within like 10 yards from my experience. I feel that charisma is pointless, and agility only gives 2 AP points per 1 agility points so I only lose 8 AP points, and V.A.T.S. I have read on the fallout wiki about the effects of different special skills. I know that big guns are more scarce to begin with, but I can get by. I have found that running in guns blazing is more my style. Also, a lot of the time you end up in a close range firefight anyway. I have tried the sneak and snipe method of combat and have found it to be rather boring and tedious. I'm thinking one that has high strength and endurance and uses the thickest and strongest armor around. I was thinking of making a character that uses big guns as his main weapon type. I also pack a minigun in my main profile for when i get pissed off lol. I have used a lot of small guns, and some energy weapons as well. My first and farthest character I have found has a lot of flaws due to me not quite knowing how everything worked, and what to expect. I have been playing fallout for almost 2 weeks now after my girlfriend got me hooked on it lol.
