| So me and my friend have been arguing over what's more effective in fallout 4, i find the projectile speed far more valuable and a superior combat choice to the plasma despite it's higher damage, but i was wondering if any one here had a counter argument as to why i should sacrifice speed for raw Damage, or prove me right so i can end this argument with my friend haha _________________ ![Me again?

| I've always preferred ballistic myself, though the base game's guns are pretty lackluster.
I think before I got my mitts on the handmade rifle I was using the combat rifle from Far Harbor with the "M4 Carbine" legendary effect.
But now my FO4 is modded up the wazoo, and though I handmade rifle its been modded to look like a bunch of different AK variants. |

| @Dmitri2033 i've been using the .45 auto mod for fallout 4, best pistol in new vegas (personal opinion) as for rifle mods have you tried the CROSS_break action laser? _________________ ![Me again?

| @Kaiser Atlas briefly, but in terms of energy weapon mods the one I use the mist has been the E-11 on Nexus cos I’m a huge star wars nerd. Most of my weapon mods are still ballistic ones though, like the MP7 and UMP |

| @Dmitri2033 well then if you're pistol man like myself i HIGHLY recommend the .45 Auto pistol mod (there's alternate versions by other authors usually renamed like the colt M1911) _________________ ![Me again?

| It really comes down to what type of playthrough I'm doing. Sometimes I want the wacky, zany Pulp Sci-Fi aesthetic going, thus I choose energy weapons. Other times, a want to go about as a hardened veteran who specialises in ballistics( maybe a sniper, other playthroughs it may be automatics). If I truly hate myself, I do a gritty survival( and I mean mods that decrease spawn rates of ammo and caps by a lot) where anything is of use if I have ammo for it.
That being said, there are so many cool and fun conventional ballistic weapon mods out there that typically don't do energy playthroughs that often. _________________ "Time and tide waits for no man" - Geoffrey Chaucer

| With the cross-gore crit mod, I think plasma weapons become ... more fun. They "feel" more powerful, even if it's not that simple. I tend to like energy weapons because they're interesting-looking, even though I know I should probably not be thinking that way alone. Whichever weapon I choose, it's more than enough to disassemble the raiders even in a character with no weapon specializations. So yeah, I go for visuals. That being said, it depends on your enemy and the distance. If the enemy is side-stepping your shots, you need something that shoots fast. |

| @Sirdanest it's why i love laser, especially converted into a sniper, the fast projectiles aer a must for me but i also prefer ballistic to both, usually any high caliber pistol _________________ ![Me again?
