guns vs energy weapons fallout new vegas

I must be one of the few to find that EW are by far more deadly given any circumstance, with perks and a choice of 3 - 4 weapons they can kill anything, even quicker than guns will.Ĭase in point first game took on a famous deathclaw area, had to leave companions behind sneak carefully and hope to take them one on one with a sniper rifle died a few times when they came in pairs.Ĭase two energy weapons walked in kept companions a strength 4 pc boosted with buffout and weapon handling plasma caster max charge ammo it took me about three seconds to kill a single deathclaw.

The main problem most have is the price of ammo, the ammount of ammo they eat up, and lack of variety early of EW in the game. TBH if you use special ammo on most energy weapons they are far more powerfull and versitile than most guns due to low strength requirements, it's all how you use them. Some don't on certain enemies a laser pistol will have trouble with most armour, and a laser rifle with the beam spliter will have the same problem.
