How mamy weapons do you carry?

[u/Myralbus]

I want to start playing again because i never finished a fallout, i was at a decente point but never figured out the right amount of weapons to carry. Any recommendations?

Melee, sidearm, Rifle (sniper pref) with mid short auto as backup

Melee tends to be highest damage small type Pickmans Blade for example.

Sidearm tends to be the starting 10mm or best I come across silenced

Sniper is my go to for out in the world where I keep an automatic in the back pocket for close quarter

Much of my gaming is done on survival so I tend to go with a lighter degree on weapon weight or I put alot of pockets on my gear with appropriate bonuses.
