  • Fallout 76 - The Gauss Rifle Got Even Better
    With science perks now giving a damage bonus to energy rifles and pistols, the gauss rifle is even better. If you are using Demoliton Expert and have no addition perk points to spare, you can still get better damage.

    Fun fact: the legacy explosive prefix on gauss rifles did less damage than the normal gauss rifle explosion. So when the removed explosive legacies, any explosive gauss got buffed. And with this, legacy explosive gauss rifles have gotten buffed twice.

      @@logancollins3223 gauss rifles have really strong explosive rounds that do a lot of damage. The legendary effect would over write it's normal explosion which made the gauss shots explosive. In short:
      Gauss rifles with the explosive legendary effect made the gauss rifle do less total damage because of how explosive effects worked.

    Very nice, thanks! Playing with a mid-health stealth character the Gauss rifle now pairs nicely with a plasma flamer. Mine is bloodied ffr and It one-shot kills L100 super mutants when charged, just shy when not charged.

    Something worth looking into: When I use VATS and aim for limbs I almost always get a hit and it only does a tiny bit less damage than a head shot. I think the percentage of hit chance is bugged on head shots.

    The better mod for anti-armor is prime capacitors
    The rest including quad, bloodied, aristocrat, junkie, etc. is perforating capacitors.
    The (new) anti-armor truly shreds after the update.

    I personally like instigating for bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles. Combine that with these perks and you regularly score 1700+. Combined with a critical it is a guaranteed kill on anything short of event primaries.
    I just wish our sneaky, scout-sniper Gauss rifle had a skin that was sneaky and stealthy and not bright orange!!!

    • @rzwitdauncut

      Yea but instigating is not to good for stronger enemies. Especially if its a public event. Once the main enemies take damage instigating is useless even if you run solo

    Hmm...
    I've been meaning to fully switch over to energy rifles for my commando character, but have resisted doing so completely due to having a couple of good Fixers...
    Might need to have a little experiment with the neglected science perks, now. My tesla is already a bit of a beast, but it doesn't have quad on it, so anything that reduces my need for constant time-consuming reloads would be good.

      Damage can vary based on lots of factors. Enemy level makes a difference. Follow Through and adrenaline can make a huge difference as well. Different legendary effects. It's also possible that things in game are different since I recorded this video.

    So I dont have the exact Gauss Rifle build like yours, I don't even have any mods for it actually.
    My current setup, 's damage is at 281. I only have Rifleman maxed out, that's it. I am still working on Demo Ex and the science perks as well.
    With all that said, I am still not doing nowhere near the damage you are.
    What am I missing from the build besides what I have already mentioned?

    just take out gunsmith altogether, sure you have to repair more frequently but the trade off is more DPS. We get enough scrap in the game that you dont have to worry about it that much unless it is time you'd rather be doing other things. I may have to repair mine once or twice per day

    DOES ANYONE SNIPE in this game... out of vats?
    I run my main weapons as The fixer.. two shot explosive, aanti armour explosive, and quad explosive for sticky situations. They're all prime automatic. I run the comando and explosive and grenadier perks.
    I know i would have to change to rifleman in game to use and get bonus for single shot "sniper" type of weapons. I'm happy to do that manually contextually just as I'm playing casual in the wasteland.
    I want to run the gauss rifle for fun as my sniper. I'll be using prime capacitor. I'm very confused if i should go with the two shot or instigating prefix. I could go with free aim 2nd legendary but I'm looking at both them being explosive obviously because of the default weapon explosive bonus plus the added one i from the legendary explosive prefix and the perks.
    I'm looking to ONE SHOT the super mutants at west tek just for fun or in other missions in open world be able to similarly ONE SHOT level 75 enemies.
    Instigating seems the most logical
    II have a bad feeling there's no such capability in this game to one shot level 75 enemies without mutations... even with all the right perk cards affixed. In my case sneak - explosive (AND i would have to change to rifleman for one shot bonus in the gauss )
    I don't normally use VATS. I want to free aim hand aim my gauss rifle sniper with the long night vision scope. I'm sick enough of going into vats for everything else i just want to have some fun out of vats with the gauss but not sure which prefixes will help the most in a sniping sense to ONE SHOT the super mutants.
    Anyone here running this weapon for a similar purpose and what's your tips?
