This build is capable of dishing out damage and tanking, and is counting on it with maxed Tenderizer and Taking One for the Team. This build is not min/max’ed and is optimized for my game enjoyment while still being a murder machine. Use this a guide to help create your own build.

This build utilizes power armor for boss fights and daily ops but goes without otherwise. The weapons may also be considered a more endgame choice as the ammo can be expensive. If you find that to be the case, shuffle your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and swap Batteries Included for Bandolier or check out my Bloodied Heavy V.A.T.s build. I also switch out Stabilized for Demo Expert 2 if not in PA but using my gauss mini.

This build includes maxed out legendary perks for Endurance and Intelligence. If you don’t have coins available, or want to use something else, you’ll have to make adjustments. Additional legendary cards I have are Funky Duds, Power Armor Reboot (this saves my life in many bloodied unfriendly mutated events), Taking One for the Team, and Electric Absorption.

Armor

I am using heavy metal for the looks and ballistic resistance that is rolled Unyielding. The second and third stars have little bearing on this build so roll for whatever you like. I have modded them to be as strong as possible and ultra-light, except the chest which has the Asbestos mod. I use shielded secret service under armor.

Power Armor

Full set of Hellcat rolled Overeaters with Emergency Protocols and Calibrated Shocks. This set has various weight reduction perks to help offset the loss of my backpack.

Weapons

YMMV, here’s what I use the most:

  • Bloodied flamer, faster fire rate, reduced weight
  • Bloodied Cremator (still trying to get just the right rolls on the rest)
  • Bloodied Ultracite Laser Gatling (primed) with faster fire rate, +250 damage resist while reloading
  • Anti-armor Gauss Minigun (primed), faster fire rate, reduced weight

Mutations

  • Adrenal Reaction
  • Bird Bones
  • Chameleon
  • Marsupial
  • Healing Factor
  • Carnivore
  • Speed Demon
  • Herd Mentality
  • Electrically Charged

Food, Drink, and other Buffs

I only drink Nuka-Cola, I eat whatever meat I kill, and I use camp buff items. Chems and magazines would make this build even stronger but I don’t have any issues solo’ing Earl, Encryptid, or the Queen so I don’t bother with them.
