Gatling Lasers used by NPCs seem to be extremely powerful and "useful" in their hands but as soon as you use one, it's.well it's crap. This is Bethesda not Obsidian, they chose to make energy weapons do more damage and generally be superior to guns instead of placing them on equal footing, and it shows with the damage, I guess. I'd sooner use an Institute Rifle with beam-splitter and automatic configuration instead of a Gatling Laser - not to mention it uses Fusion Cores for ammo.

Have you used a Gatling Laser though? It feels incredible lack-luster, like a giant laser shotgun that's using up the last squeezes of energy from a battery, chugging out lasers randomly for no real reason. Getting one with Explosive Bullets, Two-Shot, or Furious is pretty damn decent though. This is the reason for the lower damage on the minigun compared to the Gatling Laser, anyway.
Fallout 4 plasma gatling mod#
Seems the minigun fires faster with the Tri-Barrel than the Gatling Laser does with its associated mod which I don't recall at this very moment.
Fallout 4 plasma gatling update#
Whether or not this is in the form of a player made mod or an official game update doesn't matter much.īoth of them seem to gain damage by slowing the rate of fire which is kinda counter productive. I would recommend a receiver mod to make the gun do similar if not the same damage as the gatling laser, because as is it is almost useless mid-late game. But then the easy solution would be to be able to modify the reciever, similar to the gatling laser and require a high level 'Gun Nut' perk to build and install. I guess the one argument is that you find the minigun really early on and it would be a bit OP to have it actually be worth something that early. Unless I just got really lucky and happen to have gotten hundreds of fusion cores from buying from vendors and finding them all over the place. And they have the same size of magazine.Īnd while one might argue that fusion cores are rarer than 5mm I would argue that it would cost the same amount for 500 rounds of 5mm at a vendor as it would for a single fusion core, if not more. Is it just me, or does the minigun (non exploding) seem like complete garbage on hard/very hard/survival? It seems to have the same rate of fire, less range, accuracy and worst of all its damage is 1/3 of the Gatling laser with overcharge mod installed.
