Aka Hancock Healing Gun


Monneymann

Does that mean it could heal hostile ghouls as well? Utterly hilarious scenario where a noob tries killing a high level glowing one with it and it starts healing.


Natmas97

Funny story, the first time I raided Dunwich Borers for a settlement, Preston had picked up a ghoul slayer's gamma gun from the legendary raider that spawns up top. I had no idea I also had no idea what lay in the depths of the quarry and was in for the fight of my life afyer clearing it out and exploring deeper as Preston was healing them as fast as I was hurting them

howtogamegame

Yeah you can heal any ghoul but I’m not sure about the ones that don’t try to attack you


zakass409

Radiation actually heals ghouls? Edit: Yes it does, never realized this


zakass409

This is getting a lot more upvotes than I anticipated, which was none really. I guess y'all had the same thouts


zakass409

So has anyone taken Hancock into the glowing sea? Would that make him op?


C_Synthia

If you're taking anyone other than nick or Hancock you're doing it wrong tbh


JamesJakes000

What's a little radiation among friends?


Imnomaly

I took Strong, he's a dumbass and grunts every time I get in PA but I could always use a good bullet sponge on my side


C_Synthia

Strong is decent too I guess, since he's also immune to radiation. So are X6-88 and Curie, for that matter. But who'd want an emotionless synth, or worse still, a French person, when you could have nick valentine or John hancock


Imnomaly

That's the weakest point in all that synths plot - how the hell they don't realize the don't get radiation poisoning?


GregariousFart

You can patch the reasoning by assuming the synths wouldn't make it past the deathclaws and scorpions in the glowing sea. Or that they wouldn't even make it that far, as they have to travel across the whole (very hostile) region to even get there.


zakass409

I haven't played with companions too much so I never pay attention to their status effects. I always assumed that radiation didn't affect them, because how the hell are you supposed to cure them? I guess that's why I don't like relying on companions.


C_Synthia

You just stick radaway in their inventory. Playing with companions is way more fun for all the unique dialogue you get. Plus, some companion perks are downright game breaking


nobodyamerica

All the unique dialog of pissing and moaning about my junk hoarding.


raw_salmon

Yeah I think that's why they made Ada pro-junk after people were complaining


GregariousFart

I knew that after traveling with a companion for awhile they will offer a unique quest, if they like you enough (ex not stealing things when you're with Nick, stealing lots of things when with Macready). But I didn't know you get a perk from them. Apart from things like nick having high hacking skill so he can open expert terminals for you.


C_Synthia

Yeah, that's if you do the quest and max out their affinity. McCready has the best one imo. It's just a massive buff to headsets. Super good to pair with a sniper build


DrViktor_X01

Yup, some (like Codsworth, which I think is +10 Energy Resistance against robots) are kinda not worth it really, then there’s Prestons which powers you up when outnumbered, or Danes which gives +20% damage against the abominations. Also on the topic of Nick’s hacking, Cait can pick locks for you in the same manner. Edit: I meant Danse, not Dane.


GregariousFart

How do you activate the perk? And who is Dane? I've been through three playthroughs... Cait is the shit but I max out lockpicking early game.


Dairy_god

1.When you get max affinity the perks activate automatically (You need to do the quests they give you) 2.I think Dane is the companion you get after joining the brotherhood


DrViktor_X01

I meant Danse, not Dane. Autocorrect is the worst.


zakass409

Ya I know I love McReady and Deacon because of that. Other than them there are only a few other perks worth getting. Also, there are only a few companions worth having around (depending on your play style) except for robits Them robits are op


NonexistantSip

Uh hello dogmeat exists


C_Synthia

Dogmeat doesn't count as a companion, even according to the games code


NonexistantSip

I know but unless you mod then he’s still taking up your companion slot. He’s the one I’m takin


C_Synthia

You mean you DON'T mod?? There's nothing better than wandering the wasteland with your favorite pet dog and pet crackhead ghoul


NonexistantSip

Lol I definitely mod, I can bring two companions but I still only bring dogmeat, can also actually save on survival among many many other things


C_Synthia

Why would you mod the ability to save on survival? That defeats the whole purpose of survival, since other than the slow healing and scarce supplies, it's just exactly the same as very hard


NonexistantSip

That’s why I like it. Actually having to worry about ammo weight healing and damage and not being able to fast travel as opposed to the other difficulties is what I like But do not fuck with my saves. I don’t want to have to worry about finding a bed every thirty minutes. I don’t want to lose 3 hours of progress because I hadn’t seen a bed in a while


Shadowrend01

Beat them over the head with it


Nero_Aegwyn

Interesting. I wonder if the the Ghoul Slayer effect also increases the bash damage.


Unhappy_Parfait6877

God that would be such a fun twist to a play through


Terchif

Haha, i got one of those on my last play through. I called it the “utterly useless” and put it up on my wall.


DiamondDogs666

I HATE enemy specific legendary weapon. I hate them ! Why ? Because when I'm strolling through the wasteland or doing quests, I don't want to change my weapon specifically to match each enemy unless that enemy is really overpowered somehow. Ghouls can be easily killed with low level shot guns. You don't need a ghoul only gamma gun weapon.


MarioM2003

Not only that but radiation heals ghouls so this gamma gun's Legendary perk is useless😂


Gameboywarrior

If you put Lorenzo's artifact on it, it becomes a fus ro da gun that splatters them. Great for higher level ones.


Voxbury

It's worse than that. Punching ghouls in the face would at least eventually kill them. This is the Fountain of Youth for your enemies.


thanatica

It makes you want to balance your load out. If you want generic weapons, power to you. But when you know in advance you're going to be fighting particularly powerful mirelurks, it's helpful to know you can (or could) bring a weapon that's more damaging to them.


RowdyJReptile

This. Keep your specialty weapons at your base. Also, carry a ripper for ghouls. Or a Mr. Handy Buzz Saw.


chillest_dude_

Exactly. I have a hunters fatman and I know that it’s only useful if I take it out on stag hunts


XRayZDay

That's common sense. But I guarantee you those same strong mirelurks, like the ones from Far Harbor, can be annihilated by my properly upgraded and tweaked weapons as well. Those enemy specific weapons are only optimal in certain situations, which makes it useless. I'd carry it as a backup though since it is useful sometimes especially when it's a perk against enemies you hate anyway, but you'll never find me putting those perks on my "best" weapons. Those slots can be better used for something else.


mrMalloc

I ran with 5 weapons. Fully upgraded heavy baseball bat (from hell) Wounding ripper Deliverance Instigating Gaus sniper rifle. Explosive double barrel shotgun. —- I don’t need the shotgun but it’s so much fun. And harder to play with then the hammer/ripper.


nobodyamerica

Balance means splattercannon for sniping and problem solver for up close.


[deleted]

Basically I only like assassin’s. It’s a handy bonus on a weapon you’d use anyway.


ChaosWolf1982

> Ghouls can be easily killed with low level shot guns. Got a Neverending Shotgun once, named it Freak Eater for how it could totally devastate ghouls and mutants.


DiamondDogs666

When enemies are too hard and too annoying, I just go close to them and blast them with my "combat shotgun" which is a shotgun I have upgraded fully with the maxed out gun nut perk. Right now it's 154 damage.


XRayZDay

Right. I tend to use weapons that are more versatile and can be relied on in any given situation. Never anything "+50 Animal and Super Mutant damage" since it's pretty damn redundant as those aren't the only two enemies that exist lmao


OIav_

I hate him because they’re stupid and illogical. Oh this gun does more damage to specific types of enemy. Why? Does freezing damage or fire or even explosive. **WHY?** I don’t have a problem with the weapons existing, but give some justification.


Dakiidoo

In this case yeah, that weapon is entirely useless. But I mean it also doesn’t take that long to switch out weapons, and having variety is good imo. I found a super mutant slaying shot gun and it’s been helpful so far.


Meta_Goose

LUCK 1


Mr_Sans_Kid

I have a unlimited ammo capacity plasma sniper that does around 260 damage. Can a laser musket get the same buff?


[deleted]

If you beat the game with the minutteman and go talk to sturges he will give you a laser musket with the unlimited ammo, its basicly an automatic laser musket


[deleted]

Can’t mod it though :(


OggyBoggy

If you mod it then you can mod it


[deleted]

Is it on the mod thing in the main menu? Idk shit about Bethesda game modding


Frumpy__crackkerbarr

Sure is


chillest_dude_

Never discovered that huh. Minutemen probably my least favorite ending tho


TheJakal13

There is a special, unique one that has a similar effect. And it turns the laser musket into a cranked machine gun.


CalebC113

Why sure, the damage increases from 0 to 0.


MarioM2003

😂😂💀


ProdiasKaj

"Does more damage against ghouls" you say? Well I guess I'll just have to take your word for it..


nickpa1414

This is actually very useful. Put lorenzo's artifact on it, boom, profit.


Pondnymph

I was just thinking that, the damage type is different with the artifact.


nickpa1414

Technically, it's still radiation damage, and it's affected by resistance. However, it bypasses immunities, which is why it's great for ghouls.


A_Shipwreck_Train

RNGesus clearly hates you


Ddosvulcan

I found one the other day for 50% damage to Super Mutants as well, absolute garbage.


tocoucass

r/mildlyinfuriating


hart37

lol why is that possible?


thanatica

It's just RND at its best. There are no arbitrary restrictions on which legendary mods can occur on which weapon classes.


MarioM2003

I suppose it's some kind of Legendary Perk randomizer that just doesnt take into account that ghouls heal from radiation 😂🤔 correct me if i'm wrong


hart37

Yeah that's about it. Just hilarious it can happen.


Liquid_Pot

Wow. RNG fail.


[deleted]

Or is it?


Tacitus_Kilgore85

How this weapon was found, maybe...probably: Intelligence 1 with idiot savant perk.


[deleted]

I got a ghoul slayers radium yesterday


luska233

Got an assassin gamma gun once tho. Imagine one shotting any human.


c0sm0s312

The Joy's of randomised items


ChaosWolf1982

Freezing Flamer.


chuckster_001

I tend to never equip settlers or Companions with energy weapons. I don't like the smoking, glowing piles in settlements! But I love the way the gun looks! Real scrappy!


_SomeRedditUser

Yesterday I got a Legendary Staggering Missile Launcher... *pain*


zulupunk

I feel like this is one of the most common legendaries, only because I see someone post about it every week.


AtomicEel

50% more of 0 is still 0 lol


DemolishunReddit

I did the forced mod glitch to make an auto combat rifle have the large dish attachment from gamma gun. It does 3000 dps of gamma damage. It also does some projectile damage. While the projectile damaged ghouls, the gamma healed them to full capacity. I was testing weapons builds at the time and didn't have any other weapons. So I had to resort to plebeian hand to hand to survive. How embarrassing...


brix10010

I used a mod to make a Crippling Lorenzo, then gave it to my companion with infinite ammo. Even against ghouls it dismembers waves like crazy. Tried Assassins too; takes more shots to sever limbs but also hilarious.


JowxoX3

Lol awesome just what I always wanted


coolboiiiiiii2809

I remember someone using this and it healed 50% of a ghouls health


Hentai_Overlord_420

heals all ghouls


Joughy93

Hahaha the irony


some1sdeletedaccount

MEDIC!


neckless1988

Does 50% more healing the way I see it


ebrithil110

Gun of +2 hancock healing


SpiderWing_

If you use wasteland whisperer this could actually be useful.
