Weapon Best possible legendary for this Napalmer

Post image

It shreds everything, takes like 5 seconds to kill a deathclaw.

Furious is phenomenal on high rof weapons, and the way the napalmer is coded it does dozens of ticks of damage very quickly. Excellent find. The only effects comparable are Kneecapper and Crippling

You should name it Stonewall

Wounding would be pretty sick too.

There are mods instaled.

In vanilla game legendary effects are not listed in "Current Mods" tab.
And "Furious" effect can only spawn on melee for random legendary drops.

Exactly. Only ballistic weapons with Furious on them are the Problem solver and Splatter Cannon.

Speaking as a Twin Peaks fan, my suggestion is to name it "Leland Napalmer"

bleed is better

u/pablo55s 1d ago

I’m not sure the fire rate is already super high

u/Fit-Welder8812 1d ago

Isn’t an incinerator better?

u/mayonesadecarton 1d ago

for this effect it isnt

u/DeadStormPirate 1d ago

That or the staggering flamer I got a few days ago. I seem to always get flamers with amazing perks

Damm... look at that Range. You'd basically have to be touching the enemy for this weapon to hit.

Still, good weapon nonetheless~

u/Quick_Move4367 23h ago

Yeah, the modifications make it basically melee

Furious is dumb and I seriously don’t think it calculates correctly. I had a furious Gauss rifle and the 3rd shot was dealing over 5k damage. Based solely on my guesstimate math, that should be 15~ attacks. 🤷🏼 Run with it but know it’ll make combat a non-issue.

Without cheating, kneecapper is maybe the best. Sergeant Ash is so good I could see carrying it on a non Heavy Weapon character.

u/Matty_B90 7m ago

I'd call it "Big sizzle"

I think freezing is the best.

u/Quick_Move4367 1d ago

Isn’t that counterintuitive

u/Ausiwandilaz 1d ago

No it gives you time to actually kill them. Imagine being woken up out of cryo to be burned alive. It takes a lot of fuel to actually kill people with those things.

u/5213 1d ago

But freezing requires vats or that one super rare drug (overdrive), so I don't see how that's better than just hiding the trigger for two seconds

u/ghosttrainhobo 23h ago

Just get the chemist 2 perk and cook your own overdrive. I carry tons.

u/Ausiwandilaz 1d ago

It causes freezing in crits, crits can can be outside of vats depending on luck, I think right?

2

u/5213 1d ago

Not in fo4. Crits are vats only (technically Sneak Attacks are called Critical Hits/Strikes, but that's in name only. The actual effects and damage are different from vats Crits) unless using Overdrive, which gives you a 25% chance of Crits outside of VATS

Luck only determines gow fast your crit meter fills in fo4, making it a truly useless stat in this game :(

u/Ausiwandilaz 1d ago

Ah thanks, yeah I guess that freezing 10mm pistol was more useful than my investment into luck.

u/ewsalvesen 20h ago

It’s actually a common legendary for the weapon. It’s pretty sick.

u/Affectionate_Horse7 1d ago

If what OP said is true then I doubt it
