lack of holstered weapons is the most puzzling thing ever because even though modders have fully implemented it in Fallout 4 proving once and for all that it was indeed possible for such feature to work in bethesdas upgraded engine they still chose not to include it in 76 because reasons.

@@peckneck2439 it does have clipping issue with clothing specially with bulker armors and large guns look absolutely ridiculous, so it more a creative choices as they stated in book art of fallout 4.

I haven't played the other fallout games so I don't know how it worked then, but I think the "backpacks" for heavy weapons were avoided because the manner in which power armor is designed. The entrance and exit mechanism would be in the way, the fusion cores couldn't be ejected, and maybe they thought that players wouldn't expect being able to simply exit the power armor when having a pack on the back. At least from this perspective, I can see why they went with all-in-one designs for weapons. It's still flawed though

They wanna sell cosmetic bullsht so they can't have that obstruct your 3rd person view of the PC.

@@srt7248 It's for the most part fine: By and large, Fallout 4's fashion is garbage anyway, so a little clipping is hardly noticeable. As per the large guns, did we forget how 3 and Vegas did it? Big weapons (Chainguns and flamers, for example) simply disappear, but keep the backpack. Besides, that book simply shows they had better ideas than what they actually made.

the closest thing to shotgun in heavy weapon is flechette modification in harpoon gun.

There's actually a mod that does this and it's nice someone thought of it.

I never even thought of that but now I need it

I could imagine the fat man to be used as a nuclear mortar launcher, designed to wipe out bunkers and trenches full of enemies.

Still dumb, would be poorly designed for that purpose

Okay, but you say that as if trench warframe post WWI made any god damn sense.

@@TheTundraTerrorisn’t there a lot of trench warfare right now in Ukraine? It seems like a simple yet effective way to defend your troops in a locked down front.

@@YSleepish It's also a complete meme gun designed to mock the societal obsession with nuclear weapons during the cold war, I think the video author sailed past that point. Bethesda has a lot of dumb, poorly thought out weapon design but with this one they'd just be like... yeah that's the point.

That’s true of a lot of the weapons. My first NV build was a gunslinger, so what they did to the revolver and ESPECIALLY the lever action broke my heart. I’m now on a new Vegas game with a melee build, and that’s also way more fun than 4. If they wanted a new mechanic for melee, why didn’t they just use the Skyrim system?

@@srt7248 every single one of those weapons you named off are in fallout New Vegas. I think the most enjoyable one to use in fallout New Vegas would be red Glory

I think it's also inspired by the PIAT, a spring-powered antitank weapon from WWII with a vaguely similar design to the Fat Man catapult.

@@ChrisSmith-mi2zo it was inspired by the Davy Crockett

@@dannav_17 Its kind of a mix between the PIAT and the Davy Crockett.

You can argue it could've been used to breech large gates or destroy buildings like in Operation Anchorage or be used as some sort of short range high power highly portable motar. It makes more sense as it's only used by people with power armor in Operation Anchorage.

If you read through the terminals at Fort Strong you'll find that the Fat Man launcher was still very much in the prototyping stage and they were well aware that the fallout radius is significantly larger than it's effective range.

The 6000 rpm really bugs me off. That's only when the gun operates in (I'm fairly sure this is the actual term) "turbo" mode, doubling the firerate.

I don't think anyone has ever used the minigun in FO4 and thought "man, the rate of fire on this gun is terrible!"

In the original Fallout games the minigun item description said it should have a fire rate of 60,000-90,000 RPM. But who tf cares

minigun probably has a small RTG nuclear power core to give it infinite power but at the cost of low power output

@@groomschild1617 an RTG would be insanely impractical. fuel cells less so but still, not very good. it would be better if it came with a backpack for power and ammunition.

Plus, the nukes are crazy small yield. They’re still big enough that getting smacked by your own Nuke is a huge problem, but it’s at least the sort of “this is stupidly dangerous” that fits in with the 2070s US military

While I think that the weapon is stupid, FO3 treats it somewhat seriously unlike FO4. I believe there are 3 times that Fatman is used in FO3. Every time its carried by people using Power Armor and every time its used as a strategic weapon. Its used twice to breach enemy fortifications during final moments of a long fight(Anchorage and broken Steel DLCs) and once to defeat an overpowering enemy. Even when player gets to use a Fatman, they have to get it from the corpse of a Brotherhood of Steel knight. Meaning it was still supposed to be used by someone in PA.

The old fat man tried to fire them normaly, but just could not get the thrust needed, so they swapped to the launcher, snd that worked a lot better. Edit:, fort strong has all the lore on the M82 fat man. Or, I THINK it was M82.

and its based of a actual historical real life US military development. problem was that even thought the nuke was a lot smaller then a regular nuke the launcher could not send the payload far enough to not radiate the crew. like the only way to semi realible not get yourself killed by firing it was to drive somewhere turn the car around. fire the mortal (or what it was mini nuke) quickly jump in the car and floor as fast as possible the other way for a chance to not get radiated.

Reminds me of its real life counterpart, the Davy Crocket, a Recoilless rifle/mortar hybrid made to fire small scale nuclear warheads, for obvious reasons it was never actually accepted into service

And it looks like it belong to Fallout universe. I don’t really like how some modders bring ultra sleek guns/ guns that are awfully slim and real worldly. In fallout universe they never invented that that thing I could not remember at time of writing this but without that computer part computers are clunky and primitive but yet so sophisticated that pre-war world created AIs and portable computer systems, power armors, etc.

Also, the PIAT existed (British WW2 anti tank launcher), a spring powered anti tank gun, so a pneumatically powered nuke launcher seems legit imo

@@normaaliihminen722 your talking about circuit boards? Or microelectronics?

@@lilmancc35 transistors, which were only invented in something like 2075 and despite that they massively proliferated through the entire USA within the span of two years I believe integrated circuits were prototyped just before the nukes fell so that means if the war didn't go nuclear, Fallout lore would've very much turned into a more modern society and quickly at that, at least tech wise.

Well, the Davy Crocket also couldn't fire it's own warhead outside it's own blast Radius, so units firing it were committing self-die too.

I'll add in a score for you. 0 bottlecaps. The cryolater sucks

It’s fun for two seconds until you run out of ammo lol

@joshbarton9513 I'm gonna rant here because it upsets me about how ignorant people are about the Cryolator and I have free time. The danage actually is nutty if modifyed and get not only big guns but also the explosive perk as it values from both. This due to the AOE increase can lead to a single shot hitting multiple limbs at once. This leads to you having a ranged rapid fire gun with multiple damage types that's able to get several times the damage than listed per shot if you know where to shoot with the benefits of high stagger, slow, freeze on crit (for most things), and surprisingly solid VATS accuracy. For example, my Lv. 38 character with the perks maxed out and no other damage bonus still nearly one taps themselves with it if you shoot right underneath yourself. This is while having 10 endurance + high end power armor and no other damage modifier. It can burn most enemies down constantly in a small amount of shots if you hit that sweet spot and as a bonus needs no gunnut to upgrade as well ammo is abundant & efficient early on if you can afford it (200+ every 3~ days / low weight + high damage per shot). As a bonus it breaks power armor / shells / limbs very well in the process. The downsides however are: 1. If you don't hit that sweet spot the damage is much lower and can struggle against higher level enemies if that happens. (Ex highest ranking gunners) 2. Arc is awkward to get used to (unless you use VATS). 3. VATS is sometimes less effective because a large amount of enemies can die in a couple of shot and VATS forces a 3 shot burst so depending on the enemy it can be wasted ammo and if it misses then that's maybe 36+ caps wasted per burst. 4. Ammo is uncommon outside of certain vendors and can be very expensive (12+ caps depending) 5. Unmodified it actually does suck dookie as damage can't stack / is ammo unefficient with short range. (Though can freeze a lot of enemies without crit if I'm not mistaken) With this said it's overall a very strong gun if used properly. Even more so if you have any other damage boosters. This makes it really shine in survival for example. It's just most people give it a bad rap because despite all the pros it's not the best in the game, as I said before it can struggle against really high level enemies if you don't get that damage stacking effect. Combine this with people overlooking it due to its weak starting state and hard to supply ammo early game it gets judged super harshly. Despite all of this It can very easily act as a main weapon for the majority of the game and can be satisfying to use. I would highly recommend giving more of a shot if you still play the game / like heavy guns.

@leewiz8092 I'm taking a bit of a break at the moment but my usual playstyle tends to be heavy weapons guy.

​@@leewiz8092 honestly ive never struggled with the cryolator. Ive never even considered the "sweet spot" that you mentioned, so apparently its not that hard to hit. I usually aim just below the head so I dont over aim and miss. Maybe thats the sweet spot? Idk though, i frankly LOVE the cryolator. The only issue I have is ammo. Like you said its not the be all, end all gun. Gauss rifles, the CC antimaterial rifle, and frankly even a good plasma rifle can surpass it pretty easily do to their increased range and accuracy. By the time I have enough ammo to consistently use the cryolator, I have 1 or more of the above mentioned weapons ready to roll.

It's also clearly gas powered rather than the liquid fuels military grade flamethrowers use, hence the short range and low damage.

Handmade just like everything else in 4

@@professional1298and crap

Isn’t that a war crime?

fucking bethesda

Wait, at that point why not just let em all keep their health, up the minigun's power, and then keep the ammo rare so you cant spam it? that way it stays powerful even late-game but balanced early with less compromises. Hell, you can even upgrade the death claw if you have to so it has enough health to make the fight with it be about as long as it is normally.

@@dooplon5083 don't talk logic

Ooooooh I had no clue what people were talking about, cause the minigun just shredded the normal dudes

That would explain why survival playthroughs with higher outgoing player damage feels so anticlimactic.

Honestly the piat would be such a great fallout weapon. It's goofy, it's retro, and it's a pretty close in weapon compared to other launchers

Same, I was like "so basically an angry version of the Piat"

It's equality. 🙏

There are a few ways flamethrower fuel can be made without crude oil, like ethanol produced from crops such as corn through a distilling process. I don't know how well it would work as flamer fuel, but it's not impossible.

I thiiiink if you separate Kerosine and Gasoline from crude, you're still left with some combustibles before hitting Plastic ooze.

Petroleum fuel was still plentiful before the great war... just not enough for cars, planes, and other transport mediums. The cost ratio for fuel was higher for cars but it wasnt prohibitively expensive for weaponry. That's why in the wasteland at least in fallout 4+ homemade generators and turrets used obviously diesel or gasoline. Even lore wise this works out even if you considered the experation date for fuel (yes fuel can expire). Plastic can be broken down back into the hydrocarbons of diesel and gasoline by heating it in a zero oxygen environment. Which can easily be done if you have access to any sizable metal container, pipes and blowtorch. That's how wastelanders can make fuel after it expired 180 years ago.

@@thecosm7152 dont forget plastic. Plastic is just a solid form of petroleum (not really but hang on with me for a sec) with extra steps. You can break down said plastic back into diesel and gasoline by using pyrolysis. Which is simple enough relatively speaking if you dont care about your own health.

Alcohol.

I belive it is also a late-war last-ditch weapon, made when they were pretty starved for resources and were getting cheap with things. That and 200 years have not been kind to them.

@@plantainsame2049 correction, 210 years old. My point was that its extremely old for a modern based arnament Still older than any military based weapon in service, and it still functioning with all those parts is amazing, it look like it was built with a ricketer set, it should have rusted or have had malfunctions by now if not already in the wasteland. I wasn't trying to be exact just trying to say a prototype of this age will have trouble.

The fella making the video doesn't Really care since he pinned the design errors on fallout 4

Or bring back the condition feature and your have to repair them to use it again

It never left prototype stage. It was a last ditch weapon for soldiers in power armor

I would agree with you, it was in prototype phase and not developed which is weird. The fat man looks like a kids toy not something from the army. I wonder why it wasn't rocket mounted, doesn't take a rocket scientist to use basic logic. Or at least a mortar so it doesn't make sense that this is a prototype of anything legit

@@ravinraven6913 the weapon it's based on was actually mounted. Kinda weird the only thing they really only took from it was the air propulsion and the mini nukes.

Pre war corruption. Easy.

@Nightmarejester A terminal in Fort Strong actually details the development of the M42 Fatman, it goes into on how it works. Even includes a nice entry on the MIRV module having a malfunction and evaporaizes two soldiers. They sent a can full of sand to their next of kin.

Or just don't give the raider one. Maybe a flamethrower, easier to build and the ammo can probably be made from scratch

What boggles my mind is that they had a solution already built into the game. With the upgrade system requiring certain perks/levels, you just should have had "refurbished chambers" that would jack the stats up to where they should be, with the materials/level requirement serving to keep the gun from being OP at the start.

@LunoeShadow yep, instead you can barely upgrade the minigun

Yeah i kinda stopped watching brandy boy for this reason, all the whacky cool guns that make fallout fallout, dating back to fo1 are according to him "not immersive". Like fallout isnt a milsim, the entire point is to be retrofuturistic and goofy 🤦

*Yes*

Meh consistency

Yes. They're meant to be used with Power Armor, which would make it easy for you to do so. Wouldn't make sense without it though, and that's the real issue.

I mean honestly dude the Standard Assault rifle is a Maxim gun bolted to the pistol grip and stock of an FG42.

also..reloading i just noticed that as u basically hold them at hip height in fps view u use your offhand to reload and your main hand holds the back of the gun, strongarming it with biceps and lower arm for that time....

Honestly the skill reqirements to mod the minigun alone balance it imo. The ammo is ridiculously rare without high levels of scrounger, and the very few bosses with miniguns drop a paltry amount of ammo. It could easily do triple the damage and only have had 200rds when you first get it and it would have been just as effective

i use craft framework to convert a rifle to 5mm to use the ammo that comes with the minigun. Google stop removing my comments!

Honestly, it also wouldn't have been hard to make that one scripted scene unique. You get the Damaged Minigun, which has the lower damage, and enemies in later parts of the game have normal miniguns with normal damage. Face it, it comes down to sheer laziness on someone's part at Bethesda.

Explosive legendary effect put the minigun right with the shotgun as best weapons in the game

There’s a mod for that. A few actually, because heaven forbid Bethesda gives players choices.

That sounds more reasonable than the pathetic rate in real time 😂

Or tap the trigger. Your dmg will be x times more and save alot of fuel

Thankfully they upgraded it somewhat with that kneecapper variant in far harbour

so that's why the forged, a group of maniac raiders, used it. They got high, like all raiders do, and went out to raiding

Literally. No one else has mentioned it also

Bueno, el Fatman en fo4 pesa entre 16 y 20 kg, no es imposible pero si que debes estar en muy buena forma física y contar con cierta fuerza para sostener esos 20 kg mientras recargas una bomba nuclear con la otra mano

That bugs you, and not the fact that you can instantly heal crippled wounds with stimpaks? Or that you somehow have the time to fire rounds off faster than the speed of sound with VATS?

Your brain doesn't worry about it because the only thing it has to compare to is other games.

Yup!

Yeah but i feel the 5mm/ 5.56mm minigun should be scaled down a hair add the power pack back from Fallout 3/NV for a player out of Power armor to use but you been to be in power armor to use a .308/7.62x51mm version of the minigun and higher.

@@bendynamic2150 the 5mm gun from that modpack feels plenty scaled down imo, its roughly the size a minigun of that smaller caliber should be to ensure its man-portable the 5.56 model however, I do have to agree with you on that thing's scaling being a bit janky, though its trying to follow the Fo3 and NV design for the minigun and I super appreciate that thought. I hate-hate-HATE how the fallout universe keeps treating the tiny 5mm cartridge like its this super military cartridge and put that into the vanilla minigun when the minigun's design looks like it was uilt to fire 20mm cannon rounds. Fallout 4 is full of so many bad decisions.

What’s the mods name

@@apollo1462 Miniguns Standalone (Legacy) Mod author: Skibadaa they also have a modpack with multiple heavy weapons (miniguns included) but that's the standalone mod for just the miniguns

That's actually really clever. I like this this

I think that it is compressed air because you hear a hissing sound when your character reloads it.

Got the M2 modded into my game currently, it even has back tanks that even work with power armor.

Ngl makes a bit more sense than disconnecting/reconnecting gas tanks constantly

Which M2? The M2 Bradly IFV, the M2 half track, the M2 light tank, the M2 medium tank, the M2 heavy machine gun, the M2 carbine, the M2 flamethrower, the M2 mine, the M2 mortar, the M2 tripod, the M2 compass, or the M2 target rocket? I assume you mean the flamethrower, simply by context, but the US military really has a bad track with using that deisgnation.

That never ending effect with the Gatling laser was actually a bug Bethesda never bothered to patch. You can also get an automatic laser musket at the end of the minutemen questline. I believe Preston gives you it. You can get one almost immediately tho if you have the gunners vs minutemen creation club mod. The mod just gives you one if you follow the quest which you get immediately after leaving the vault. It's shit btw. Only thing worse is sub machine gun

crossbows don't use springs they use a rope, but I think I know what you mean. It's not really clear how the harpoon gun even fires, because no matter what's inside it, if it stores energy to release later, it would need to be muzzle loaded. Like the OG harpoon guns.

What I mean by the hypothetical spring or rope or whatever it uses in the Harpoon gun, is primed when you close it after you place a round in. Like how you prime a crossbow before you place an arrow/bold on the track.

@@Nerobyrne If this was made in real life as it looks there is most likely a spring kinda under the barrel which sends it flying. You could also set it up so that the when you pull the lever back it will push the notch that send the harpoon flying go down with a notch on the chamber door and pull it back. Once the chamber is closed the notch on the chamber door gets pushed up with allows the firing notch to rise into position waiting for the trigger to be pulled allowing it release. It for sure would be a mounted weapon for instance on the walls of the towns in far harbor to defend against the huge crustaceans that live there. Other wise it shouldn't be usable for unless you in power armor or ripped as hell. Just thought of another way it could would make use of a pulley type system that would make it so can even be primed with the opening of the chamber but my mind is too sleep deprived to be up for typing that out. Main reason real harpoon guns are muzzle loaded is cause of the arrow head shape, the ones we use in fallout are just sharpened bars of metal so most likely they changed the harpoon guns for convenience of use and making ammo.

Also quite literally they were trying to find a way to get rid of the stockpile. So brandy kind of described exactly what happened

That would explain why it was used in so little numbers in Operation Anchorage. You only see guys in power armor using it to destroy a large gate near the end of the dlc. I guess you could argue it could've been in field testing, it also explains why the gun and ammo is so rare

yep i mean he doesn't seem to understand they were shipping out prototypes. just so infantry could have a devastating weapon. not like generals cared about their troops, as long as the job got done.

I wouldn't call it test phase, it seems like the guys had the time and were bored so made it themselves.

YES dude! Im glad i'm not the only one who thinks this. In my opinion, it almost seems like they were planning on doing this but then decided against it at some point. When I look at the Fallout 4 Minigun and Gatling Laser, it looks like they were originally supposed to be weapons that you could only use in PA and would be stronger while the original models of these weapons (FO3/NV) would be the standard versions we're used to but they could be used outside of PA.

It was based on the spigot mortar system; instead of using a propellant to directly fire the round or missile the spring was cocked and tightened, when the trigger was pulled it released the spring which pushed the spigot forward into the rear of the bomb, detonating the propellant and launching the projectile TLDR: The PIAT used a spring that hit a charge on the back of the munitions that when detonated expelled the munitions. You are “literally” incorrect.

Thank you for informing “those who don’t know” hopefully i was able to actually inform them.

@@williamwinstrop3918 Thanks for catching my mistake there.

Fun fact, supposedly the coloquial meaning of PIAT for soldiers was "Point It At Tanks" Source: Idk lol, just remember it from somewhere, maybe forgotten weapons

@@Oliver-ku1tf You would have to point it at tanks anyway for it to serve it's purpose

I interpreted it as being a standin for FN 5.7mm ammo in 3 and NV

5mm was not a stand-in for 5.56 as the OG games had .223 (5.56 basically). In Fallout-Verse the standard issue firearms of the US army used 5mm for rapid fire weapons and .308 for their rifles (original sniper was chambered in .308 but rechambered to .223 due to the rarity of .308 in the midwest)

5.56 and .223 are the same thing

@@mr.bobcyndaquil4214 why would a minigun fire pistol rounds?

@@koroplays3200 They aren't. They have very minor differences.

Agreed, the Charging Barrels makes it what it should have been imo. And looked more like imo, given we don't have FO1 or 2 style laser weapons anyways. And oh God does it sound and feel nice to fire

The only heavy weapon that's worthwhile is the Explosive minigun, for acting like an actual minigun. Only good for bosses. Any other day, just give me the alien plasma pistol and a coilgun.

@@JoshSweetvale not realy: i had a explove ammo minigun and trown it away because low damage except on myself if the target comes to close

not really, it shouldn't shred deathclaws or super mutants, but humans should be shredded instantly.

its based on the REAPER shoulder fired MLRS system from vietnam era. Really cool rambo stuff. Wish Ian would find one and show it on forgotten weapons

@@brettalexander220A few things my dude. No such launcher exists, unless you're using some video game's name for a real world weapon. You don't need to say "system" at the MRLS. That's what the S stands for. The launcher you're probably thinking of is the M202 FLASH, which is incorrectly depicted in a large number of video games and movies as a normal rocket launcher with four barrels because it looks cool. Notably for example, Resident Evil 2 Remake features it as an "Anti-tank rocket launcher." (The original RE2 used a Stinger, which was even more wildly wrong.) The M202 FLASH is a replacement for the M2 flamethrower, as weird as that sounds. It only has incendiary rockets filled with TPA, a chemical mixture that makes Napalm look like baby formula. It's such a fantastically hot substance that just being in relative proximity after ignition can cause skin burns and melt anything plastic or polyester based on your person. In terms of battlefield roles, it fills the same one the flame thrower did in decades past. Putting lots of flames into a confined space like a cave, bunker or building filled with enemy combatants. It just delivers this flame from a much safer distance for the operator though use of rockets instead of compressed air-fuel mixture.

@@wolfehoffmann2697 go back to reddit

The issue for the quad launcher is it basically takes the design of the M202 Flash and shoves it onto a M20/RPG7 tube launcher. The lack of 4 tubes or even a rotating design just breaks the model.

@@5RndsFFE that is indeed exactly what is visually bothering me aswell.

The only real difference I can see is sealing. The space between the magazine (not often I get to talk about missile launchers and say magazine lol) and the actual barrel would cause so much hot gas to come out, like a revolver where gas escapes between the barrel and cylinder. Sealing it would probably make inserting a new magazine really hard, and not sealing it would cause damage to the user. I see the rest as feasible tho.

No, it wouldn’t, watch the tubes the rockets are in, they just disappear, IRL you the wielder would be behind the blast when the launched off

​@@5RndsFFE the "three barelled" upgrade is way worse though

bro they had no problem with your character clipping through goddamn power armor as if it wasn't an obviously noticeable problem within the first hour of gameplay. its clear they just didn't implement it out of laziness because youre either fine with clipping or youre not

ehh i prefer final judgement/rapid gatling laser, the charged barrels are good against single large opponents but are annoying against smaller, fidgety enemies, so applying them to a rapid gl and still getting 25% bonus of the base fire rate is amazing..also with perks in late game u can swim in power cores even with jetpack+power armor

@@exoblade7620 I remember ending a survival run where I actively used both the Gatling laser and power armor with over 100 spare fusion cores, I've really never had any issues obtaining them (and yes Final Judgement is great)

Why does a battery powered laser gun even need to have rotating barrels

Aren't a generator and an engine the same thing though?

@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 not exactly, no. Notably, in this context, a compressor is being connected to an engine to rapidly create pressure in a chamber. Likewise, A Generator is a machine that generates electricity through kinetic motion, while an Engine is a machine that makes kinetic motion through typically the use of combustion. Hopefully that made sense, I just woke up. lol

seriously 1:59 whats uup 🤣

he's probably into dudes therefore he wants his male character to have a wagon, i don't see any other explanation lmao
