Hello everyone, first time poster here.Fallout New Vegas - Sniper (& Energy Sniper) Build Guide by Captain-Oshie I just built this build of a sniper off the top of my head, so if anything's wrong with it, please let me know.
- 🗡️ Gatling laser is a weapon in Fallout Vegas Commands. Click to see and compare its stats, including damage per shot, damager per second, critical chance multipler and more. Find the best weapon for you.
- This New Vegas Edition is based on, and is a continued version from,.90 of that mod. All FO3 dependencies have been removed. Some armor/weapon items that are still in the New Vegas BSA files have been restored as items in the Geck and used.
I have been playing Fallout new vegas a lot and have finally got my hands on one of my favourite Fallout 3 weapons, the Gatling laser!
Unfortunately I've tried it on a number of different enemies and have found that compared to Fallout 3's GL it is surprisingly underpowered. With New Vegas' Damage threshold system on armor, a fully repaired GL with 100 points in energy weapons and the +3 damage mod firing max-charged shots is hopeless against any heavily armored targets like Deathclaws, Super Mutants and BoS Paladins as their high DT almost completely neutralizes the damage. I've literally shot all 240 ammo at a single Paladin and inflicted only minor damage.
Obsidian also seem to have boosted the fire rate of the Gatling laser by 10 shots per second, increasing the DPS but also increasing the ammo consumption. Those 10 extra shots per second don't help one jot against armor and make it good only for killing a few unarmored enemies before all your ammo is exhausted.
I don't have the better criticals or laser commander perks yet, but I suspect that laser commander wouldn't makes much of a difference since +10% damage translates into only 1 or 2 extra points. I'm not sure if better criticals would make much difference since I don't understand the crit damage calculations and I can't tell how frequently the gatling laser currently crits.
Any suggestions? Am I using it wrong? Would those perks help?
