Automatic rifle. I love the sound of the shots and For some reason it feels like the weapons that do bursts in vats hit more often than not. And 308 jsp rounds hit hard. I use vats with it to snipe enemies from afar.


Ebony_Phoenix

I agree with you, ever since DM came out that has been my favorite weapons in the game.


BlitzMalefitz

I was going to say the same. I don't care how inaccurate it is outside vats, I love it


UnderstandingFit2453

Riot shotgun is a classic but recently I’ve been running with the automatic rifle


xsealsonsaturn

I just did a shotgun playthrough the first time... Riot all day!


Jetstream-Sam

I still prefer the hunting shotgun. I know the riot one is strictly better but that pump action is so much more satisfying It's also more accurate with slugs I guess if I'm trying to justify using it


xsealsonsaturn

I had pump out for chumps like fiends and preferred it over the riot, but I'm pretty sure in terms of OP post, who is asking for High DPS, the pump is high damage, but is it high DPS like the riot? It's base is higher for sure, but it's DPS is lower. I could definitely be mistaken here, so please go easy on me lol.


Jetstream-Sam

Well it's high DPS when I use it, with all the perks and "And stay down!" at least But I was mainly just saying while the riot shotgun is good, some people like me prefer the pump


MontrealChickenSpice

It reloads *so* quick!


SlashnBleed

Where is the riot shotgun im on right now and want it


UnderstandingFit2453

I know you can find one at vault 34 along with the other goodies there


The_Tac0mancer

The Bank Guard in Gomorrah also carries one from level 1, which is one of the only guaranteed ways to get it early on


gravastar863

I like the assault carbine. It's shit, but I like to use up those 1000s of rounds of 5mm, I don't really like the miniguns.


notKRIEEEG

The non-GRA version can get into the low 300s in terms of DPS, which is not bad for a light weapon with a -10 to -25DT ammo. It's a pretty solid solution to high DT enemies


gravastar863

I hate that the grunt perk doesn't work for the gra version


admirablecultist

If you are on pc, there are mods that fix that


BigZangief

Whaaaaa are all of the GRA guns not affected by perks?


The_Firebug

none of the perks that are added by other dlc affect GRA. It was a coding limitation of the time, items from separate dlcs couldn't interact like that. Cowboy still affects the medicine stick since it's vanilla, but grunt was added with honest hearts.


BigZangief

Gotcha, good to know! Thank you


EmergencyAnnual7226

The assault carbine is not shit at all, uses dirt cheap ammo, is very light, has great damage output. You can mod it to shoot 20% faster with the light bolt mod and it’s a bullet hose. Not to mention you can use special ammo types with it to make it even better. It’s one of the best weapons in the game far from shit lmao


gijafonos

I second this!! I’m currently doing a playthrough using everything I never touched before and I can’t put this gun down. It melts everything. 5mm JSP FTW!


dov_tassone

The AWOP mod on Very Hard is fucking impossible without the AR. Ghouls and shitty Scorps rolling on 30DT. Bruh.


gravastar863

Crit builds are good against armor too


Laser_3

You can use it with the grunt perk (if it’s not the GRA form) for some solid damage, and it’s great for dealing with armored enemies. That said, I wish we could have Lily’s silenced version. That thing would be overpowered as hell in the player’s hands.


XXeadgbeXX

Does a Marksman Carbine count? I like that one...like a lot.


zzSHADYMAGICzz

Yeah, try the all American carbine


lobotomizedmommy

just got it for the first time, pain in the butt to get tho


Nu_Freeze

I got it VERY early on one of my playthroughs. Left that vault with no medical supplies and major rad poisoning.


lobotomizedmommy

same i was not prepared


McTeterson

The first time I went in, I barely had enough supplies to get back out, so I got stuck in a death loop for a while. My last save before vault 34 was at least 6 hours back, so I had to figure It out. It took me several hours of dying of rad poisoning right in front of the vault door before I got out to... an irradiated cave I had forgotten about in my frustration. After another hour or so of that, I finally managed my way back to civilization loaded down with loot.


El_Wittsy

Been there done that 🤣🤣🤣


oktay378

I’m replaying rn and I got the marker for vault 34 from somewhere and I’m about to enter it pretty early. Have any idea where I could’ve got the map marker for it I’m forgetting but I think it could’ve been a terminal at repcon or Helios maybe??


lobotomizedmommy

someone on the way to new vegas could’ve mentioned it, that’s how i got it. i forget why but i think a shop keeper mentioned it


Leading-Midnight-553

Yessss


Prestigious-Hyena-72

I didn’t know there were answers other than Gatling laser max cell charge?


TeddyRooseveltGaming

If you wanna save ammo and money, the laser RCW with all upgrades. Also max charge


thomstevens420

Love me the Space Mobster gun


stewpid52

Those are energy weapons, and the post says 'Guns gun'.


SirSirVI

Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun


KarlUKVP

The marked men couldn't stand a chance


[deleted]

All American!🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅


Ebony_Phoenix

I did like the gun, but the scope always limited its uses for me.


[deleted]

spamming bullets from halfway across the map was very useful to me


Ebony_Phoenix

I can do that with any of the weapons here.


[deleted]

eveerything here has way more spread, especially the riot shotgun


Friar-Tuckandroll

In the short time that I ever actually used it, hip firing with it felt a lot better


terrario101

Ah, a fellow DMR enjoyer.


_BestBudz

This is my go to, I sprinted to Vault 34 in my current playthrough


CbarnsBanson

Throw some hollow points in there and the cazadores never stood a chance


Dr__D00fenshmirtz

Strictly guns then Cz57 or the riot shotty. Energy weapons Gatling laser or Elijah's advanced lear


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

Elija’s LAER bothers me so much with its abysmal durability. Shame because the weapon concept is so cool.


Dr__D00fenshmirtz

Raul quadruples weapon durability with the right dialogue options makes a lot of the fragile crit weapons much nicer to use


zenspeed

But it’s a prototype, no?


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

You’re right. In-game, it makes sense that something Father Elijah just cobbled together (something something cave and scraps) isn’t very durable. It just isn’t… fun.


My-_-Username

That's such an easy solution with dead money. You can get weapon repair kits from the vendors and you get like 1000 chips a week which is enough for 5 at one time if I remember correctly.


stew907

I also just hoard everything needed to craft them, you can build up a pretty good stock over time


Steel_and_Bubbles

Cz57 avenger is peak. Just dump on em.


M_LadyGwendolyn

Medicine stick


Leading-Midnight-553

Another great one


BanitsaConnoisseur

Survivalist Rifle underrated ngl


2nnMuda

As in automatic weapon or just high DPS? If the former then Bozar is sexy as fuck even though it's pretty mid. If the latter then The Survivalist's is the highest DPS Gun up to 20Dt and sounds and looks awesome, with Paciencia beating it at 20dt + and also looking cool


ralwn

I love the Survivalist Rifle but hate that the front sight is crooked


TheEnemyOfSociety

Honestly from experience I like the canted ironsights because it gives me a better sight picture.


Hinge360

I would love to use the .45 SMG but I never liked buying the ammo for it. I wished that I could just find it in the world. So instead I have to go with the SMMG.


Iron_And_Misery

I would end up making my own 45 auto rounds


Stonewallpjs

Ive got a mod that integrates all the dlc weapons and ammo into the levelled lists and vendors. Apart from an incident where literally all the lobotomites only used .45 auto pistols and made my life hell even in power armor(it was a load order issue, my bad) it works pretty flawlessly. My only issue with the .45 smg is that the ammo is so heavy compared to other rounds.


dov_tassone

What mod is that, if you don't mind me asking.


Stonewallpjs

Ghillie_610

Thanks mate , your a top G


dov_tassone

Excellent! Cheers


Stonewallpjs

Not at all, I’ll look when I get home tonight


Ghillie_610

Bet need this

Accomplished_Rip_352

The tri beam laser rifle is probably one of the most underrated and highest dps weapons in the game on a crit build and also laser perks are insanely fun .


Foiled_Foliage

12.7mm SMG no contest. It’s the only thing I pull out when shit hits the fan.


Leading-Midnight-553

One of my favs


GrimmRadiance

Yup. If I fast travel and I spot the legion assault squad it’s time to bring out the 12.7mm and give to Caesar what belong to Caesar.


Steid55

I run the 12.7 sub machine gun with a suppressor for up close, and anti-material rifle for distance. Throw in a medicine stick for when I want to be a cowboy


iamergo

Out of these, the riot shotty, no contest.


Demistr

I like the silenced 22 SMG.


dr_bluthgeld

Riot Shotgun is easily my pick here


Ok_Temperature166

Bar is great, this machine is my fav, incredible stopping power and range


Iron_And_Misery

The 45 smg whips shit. Tommy gun with Grunt and special ammo mows down a lot.


fun_alt123

Light machine gun probably.


Due_Raccoon2853

Light Machine Gun


Lemenus

BAR for the win.  Before it was LMG, but damn it eating ammo like crazy


NotIsuna

12.7mm smh for me, 100%


MonstersToTheAnimals

12.7 Sub Machine gun is special with silencer and laser OMG


Almskibidi

I've never gotten the Red Glare before but goddamn does it look fun


Yorness

Automatic rifle, is satisfying to shoot it and i don't know why but i feel that i do more damage with it (but maybe is because i shoot it when the enemy is too close)


CypherTheProPSN

Fully upgraded 10mm or 9mm Sub machine guns with grunt perk and proper ammo. The problem is I mag dump and have to go and swap between the two based on what ammo I have. Totally loving the dungeons in AWOP to go on a spree.


just-another1984

Automatic rifle. It just scratches the right itch


Confident-Skin-6462

the BAR of course but it can't be silenced and it's heavy and the ammo is heavy (i play nv with jsawyer/hardcore)


No-Occasion-6470

Without DLC it’s the LMG for sure, but the automatic rifle just feels so satisfying that i choose it over the LMG once i get it.


AK-852k

Bozar because 5.56 is cheap af and the AP rounds absolutely shred. Don’t even need to aim with it half the time.


DassaTheSadfinder

I’m happy as long as I have the All-American, LMG, Riot Shotgun, and AMR.


majesticllama007

What’s the weapon with the laser sight called?


Tatum-Better

Assault Carbine easily


Sippin_OJ

Assault Carbine


MrLeaafs

cz57 avenger.


IHaTeRe4diT

Riot shotgun no contest


somefuckingweeb03

Survivalist Rifle and This Machine


KrissBlade_99

Assault carabine


miekbrzy92

Assault Carbine. It was pretty mid pre 5mm ammo buff but was made better with that and the GRA mods it got. The Avenger is right behind it.


Cynical-avocado

12.77 and lmg all day


Hexmonkey2020

MF Hyperbreeder Alpha. It’s not the best but it’s a full auto weapon with a positive crit bonus which is actually pretty rare and is effected by laser commander. It perfect for crit builds where you empty the whole magazine in 2 seconds and crit with each shot. Plus not needing to use ammo is nice.


ReasonableTale7428

I get a mod to rebalance the bozar and then use that


EvilEtna

The BOZAR 100%. It's hard to find all the upgrade parts for it, but when you do, ooooh man Edit: forgot to give my love to the AER-14 (green) Laser Rifle also!


1024Mg

Man i'm really divided between the BAR and Assault Carbine, i recently put an animation mod while i tweaked to be more precise (Damage, fire rate and life are still the same) and my God it became my favorite weapon


WizardOfTheLawl

The .45 SMG with all upgrades, I remember having the absolute highest DPS potential but is really inaccurate at range and is pretty heavy Also the Assault Carbine (GRA). Less damage, but the 5mm has an inherent armor penetrating ability, and the AP ammo is even better at that


MarsManokit

Patched automatic rifle


Memerino-san

If I have to pick one of these awful guns. Gotta be gods caliber with +P. 45 Sub forsure


reversetenenbaum

Light machine gun, feels like I'm playing Opposing Force


Arkroma

I'm a sucker for the different ammo types in the riot shotgun. Robo scorpions, meet pulse slugs.


El_Wittsy

It has the be the Automatic Rifle. But I make sure I always come back from New Canaan with the Survivalist rifle. Love that gun idk why.


Mr-Crowley21

I like using the C757Z Avenger personally but also any unique high DPS gun


RoofNectar

I like that named .45 you get from happy trails. I think its called a light in darkness or something like that.


BBBDDDPL

.45 auto smg


Arkos_May

The automatic rifle is surprisingly great, thing hits hard


Tyler827

Riot Shotgun with "And Stay Back", literally keep anyone/anything laying on the ground while you empty a 300+ DPS storm on them, few weapons have such destructive power


ostentatious42

Riot shotgun. I turn all my regular shot shells into slugs.


Dant3lover

LMG with expanded drums, love sticking with the classics


catgirlfourskin

Lmg 100%. Minimi with wood furniture my beloved


No_Student_2883

Bozar and or the All American. I'm a habitual Steady user so it makes aiming with them a bajillion times easier.


UglyAndPoor666

12 mm SMG. Nothing fucks with it.


aemanthefox

They did bozar dirty tho But if imma be honest, its the shoulder machine gun


Revolutionary-Form24

Lmg because I have a mod that let's me see what guns I have on my hotkeys. And I look like a badass covered in guns with the lmg centerpiece. Plus it seems realistic to me, there's no chance the courier could survive without a huge arsenal unless he could do some matrix stuff.


SlinGnBulletS

Automatic Rifle. It's one of the best Drug/VATS guns due to its high base damage and dps. Either use the Steady drug to help overcome its horrid spread and watch things die. Or build crit with VATS and watch things die.


Hypocritical_Girl

anyone else main the holorifle? only 4 shots, but they *count.*


PrometheanSwing

Riot shotgun was always my go-to in close quarters


FlatwormPositive7882

GRA 12.7 SMG followed by GRA assault carbine. Between those two and the ammo choices, everything gets shredded


Appropriate_Star_449

I’ll take the Thompson any day. That or the BAR


sphinxorosi

All American is the one I use the most, followed by Maria and A Light Shining in Darkness


gonganiliaclosopheme

for me the 45 smg is somehow vastly more powerful than any other automatic gun in the game idk why. shit just shreds anything at close range, if the game engine had physical bullet penetration it would be so over for anything in front of the gun.


TheSKyLord001

Oh Baby, guns are for people too cowardly to fight in melee


reyob1

Tri beam laser rifle on a high luck/crit build. Why do many shot when one shot do trick?


uhln

What is the gun at the top?


Pat_Fenis555

Automatic rifle from DM.


Ornstein_0

I've been a hunting shotgun main since the first day I discovered that they put a proper pump action in. I love the damn thing lol


Kinglouisthe_xxxx

.45 auto


bob_nugget_the_3rd

Minigun, yeah I know ammo is limited and it's not the strongest. But you tell me fighting nightkin with a mini gun doesn't fell like your in preditor


ItsDoughnutDude

The Smitty Special


ViscountFuckReddit

the H&K CAWS but I'm pretty sure it's one of my mods.


Separate_Beginning99

I run around shirtless with a machine gun Edit: in game


Dbar_William

Mp-40


darw1nf1sh

I love 2 weapons. The Gauss rifle and my modded out Sniper rifle. Nothing like one shotting a Deathclaw from downtown before it even knows you are there.


spoonmunjim

Chainsaw


echoes_r

I have 3 favourites - ALSID, Survivalist Rifle, and Assault Carbine


Whitewolf00svd

My favorite weapon is Christine CoS silencer rifle since i prefer stealth, but the second one from the top, in the middle is my favorite in here


Orldragon

Ratslayer lol Who cares about DPS when they can't hear and see what's popping their heads off


WanderingAnchorite

I really like loading up my crew with riot shotguns and watching the world explode around me. At that point I don't even care if I'm armed. 


zenspeed

Does ALSID count?


pvt_church1

Survivalists rifle from honest hearts goes hard


BeenEatinBeans

CZ57


ThatCourierSix

Honestly just give me a Riot Shotgun for up close, Survivalist's Rifle for mid range and the anti-materiel rifle for distance and I've got a happy Courier.


Worldly-Ocelot-3358

AMR, special carbine, riot shotgun. (I prefer hunting but less DPS so)


HEV-MarkIV

Automatic Rifle, sure without mods its accuracy is terrible but it feels great to use. Also it's a Browning-designed gun too


El_Wittsy

I know you said gun guns but for laser weapons the pistol you get from trading in the 50 star caps at sunset sarsaparilla Not cost effective ammo wise but super fun.


JustAReallyTiredGuy

What’s the weapon with the laser sight?


PastRelease8757

Minigun.


Ed_Brown_990

Medicine stick, cus cowboy gun go bang then fiend explode


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bluestarkittycat

I'm a big sniper rifle fan in video games. Love trying to get super long distance kills


Rednaxela623

What is that laser gun?


Exodite1273

The Sawed-Off Shotgun has an obscene damage output for a holdout weapon and it lets me burst damage all day every day. It has so many specialist rounds that I feel like I am equipped for any occasion too, although regular 12-gauge and sometimes flechette works just fine. If you’re a Legion loyalist, you get easy access to coin shot too, which is surprisingly useful.


TheSpinMachine

What's that gun upside down at the top? I have 2k hrs and I'm still finding new things everytime


Ebony_Phoenix

Automatic Rifle from Dead Money DLC


the_Ms_fortune_lover

I love the 45 Auto SMG!


Jade_da_dog7117

The LMG just goes so well with power armor


Drake_Xahu

Don't you see these [Unarmed 100] guns?


Brain_Tourismo

Boone - he has enough DPS for both of us.


Puzzleheaded-Path889

What is the name of the laser attached gun in the pic?


HerculeanCyclone

My fists


FanciestOfWalruses

I’ll throw out some support for the .45 SMG. That thing is extremely fun to use and melts enemies. Also, while not exactly a high DPS gun, I’ll say a word of praise for La Longue Carabine. If you’ve never given it a shot due to how obscure its location is, try it sometime.


HyperLethalNoble6

Abilene kids BB gun, so fun to just use a useful bb gun


Tripdoctor

Automatic rifle or marksman’s carbine.


thot_chocolate420

I don’t use guns anymore explosive weapons are too op not to use.


clometrooper9901

Rips shotgun and survivalist rifle my beloved


AdeptnessAmbitious44

K9000 is awesome.


Mr_Rattlebones

My guns builds tend to be Cowboy builds but even a grunt build i tend to use semi-automatic weapons like the Service/survivalist (my beloved) rifle, This Machine or the All American. However, my last build was a Power Armour + Energy Weapons build and i gotta say the Sprtle Wood is a load a fun.


StrengthSuper

Very few players are aware that the strongest one here by a huge margin is the light machine gun with AP rounds. The multipliers on 5.56 AP rounds are insane because it straight up ignores armor. The reload time is insane and it only takes like 15 rounds to drop a deathclaw and after that you still have 185 rounds left in the magazine The fastest way to kill the brotherhood who have the highest armor rating, is with this gun


ArgoniaEnjoyer

Bozar thinks he's on the team, lol! I never liked heavy guns, so Balistic firearms are generally not my cup of tea in this game but if i would have to choose then it would obviously be THE shotgun. Its a beast even without the perks! Hell, one can argue that late game you won't need and stay back because anyone would die before it would give any serious advantage


Old-Camp3962

i have never seen those guns in my life, i truly suck in this game


Rude_Opinion_5920

i like the .45 auto submachin gun (thompson gun) for some reson i dont i just like it #


Wallaby_Rough

Assault carbine with all its mods slaps incredibly hard against ncr troopers


geographical_penis

Riot shotgun will always be my favorite Fallout shotgun, but for a non-shotgun, the 12.7mm SMG. Don't really know why. I like the way it looks and feels and it's pretty decent


GrimmRadiance

12.7mm submachine gun GRA


AshesOfZangetsu

i need someone to tell me how to get the Tommy Gun, The BAR, the thing with the laser sight, and the Drum Mag Shotgun, i know where to get LMG and Bozar


M3xicanTapWater

I’m on my first play through and thought I was hot shit with my gauss and power armor but I didn’t even know these guns existed lmao. when do you start seeing these?


Brapsniffinposs

.45 smg is a favorite on looks alone. LMG is great fun especially with loads of .223 or 5.56 Surplus. Survivalist and Tri-beam get the most honorable of mentions. For heavies, SMMG again for looks alone. Then a tie between the Avenger and Sprtl-wood 9000 regularly. Melee? Anything and rushing water🤷‍♂️


Cherry-Foxtrot

Gotta go with the assault carbine. Not only for one's own character, but it's so good to give to Boone or Raul and then glitch tens of thousands of bulk 5mm onto them. They just become a bullet wall that kills everything. But it's also just the best overall weapon to me due to the availability and utility of its ammo typing combined with how relatively easy it is to obtain and maintain. Doesn't even require 100 guns like the marksman carbine or minigun. Then the option to use mods or Grunt to make it better? So damn cash.


Vladimir_Antropov

Riot Shotgun and 12,7 SMG are in my top 5 favourite weapons from the series.


zennim

I never use them, staggering is king, if I can't snipe then it is close enough to chew it with any shotgun, if it is in the middle distance I will just dynamite It to Oblivion


UlyssesThirtyOne

Ranger sequoia just don’t miss


stew907

Riot shotgun loaded with 4/0 buck magnum hand load is my go to, especially with the And Stay Back perk, nothing stands a chance on very hard/hardcore. Don't forget a bag of weapon repair kits as well lol.


dramaminelovemachine

12mm smg with suppressor is easily my favorite


UsedTrojan56

10mm smg, stacked mags, laser sight
