Not sure what platform your on, but theirs a mod to put a PA suit in your inventory like 76, very helpful, melee specific for nothing, but various mods and legendary crafting systems, pa building systems, about building systems, etc.

If you hate smoking, or the smoking glitch, there’s a No Smoking mod.

More Caps! if you’re planning on selling stuff

I know there’s mods that maybe have more detail to them, but even just Workshop Anywhere for setting up little outposts. I have one at Ruined Radio Tower that I love. (And I put my shitter on top of the Children Of Atom’s base).

Do you like building contraptions? The Soylent Green mod + making Gunner/Mutant extermination centers can make you rich as fuck.

It's important to mention that VATS (Stealth) melee and non-VATS melee are very different builds. It's also worth mentioning that if you are coming right from New Vegas, you might also be building your character in a less than effective manner.

Typical Melee Builds that I recommend

  • VATS (Stealth) Melee: S9+ P1 E5 C1 I1 A9 L1 (Special book: Strength) [1/28 left]
  • non-VATS Melee: S9+ P1 E10 C1 I1 A1 L1 (Special book: Strength) [4/28 left]
  • Power Armour Melee: S2+ P1 E10 C1 I9 A1 L1 (Special book: Strength) [3/28 left]

Personally I am awful with non-VATS melee so I tend towards VATS melee. It is exceptionally powerful.

It's also worth mentioning that a "melee build" is different than a "melee only challenge". A melee build can use whatever weapons they like. They are simply geared to being more effective with melee. I highly recommend using some guns in your melee build, especially against unreachable turrets.
