    What about vengeance? Its the best gatling laser. The damage is considerable lower with an average of 23.5 but it fires multiple times and instantly switches targets when an enemy is downed. With dragons maw you're sometimes forced to waste a show on a low health enemy. I can't confirm this but it does seem to stunlock enemies too.
    Melee weapons also shouldn't be ruled out entirely. When you select your dweller to attack an enemy, the enemy will redirect its attack to the one with the melee weapon. Give that dweller a damage reduction pet and you got a pretty good strategy going.

    • @Pressingx
      @Pressingx  8 років тому +78

      Thanks, I'll definitely test out the Vengeance later today. The gun's target switching sounds like a helpful feature. :)

    • @InanisNihil
      @InanisNihil 8 років тому +14

      the vengeance is great for its switching target aspect... butt it easy to switch a maw user off of a near dead enemy to another target and switch anther dweller doing less damage to that near dead enemy... butt this micro managing can be annoying... >:(

      Strength -makes you more likely to hit that maximum damage of your weapon. For example: "Fire Hydrant Bat" with 19-31 will more consistently deal around 31, I need to make calculations if it's actually better to have +7 Strength than +7 Agility using this weapon which benefits the most of doing successful high roll damage.- It also helps your wasteland explorers with some events.
      In vault it's used for electricity production and crafting most of the best weapons in the game. Very useful stat and you can never go wrong training it.

    • @Laireso
      @Laireso 5 років тому +12

      Perception makes you more likely to hit the center of critical hit roulette. -Not worth equipping any Perception boosts if you are precise enough to hit the 5x crit damage even with just based 10 Perception trained.- However it may reward you in the wasteland with more rewards since all SPECIAL stats help you while exploring wasteland. It's not worst stat to boost.
      Later in the game, you can use Perception in your Vault to craft weapons/outfits/themes that require Perception.

    • @Laireso
      @Laireso 5 років тому +13

      Endurance is the most unique of all SPECIAL stats. It gets progressively less efficient the higher level your dwellers are. If you want to dig most from Endurance = max health possible, you need to train new level 1 dweller to 10 Endurance, give them outfit +5 or +7 Endurance and sent them to wasteland to level up, once they reach lvl 50, sent them back. Health of the dweller will be displayed once he starts taking damage, however don't expect to see a number, rather compare them with other dwellers that took same amount of damage but their health differs.
      It also makes your Stimpacks heal more HP since they restore % of your dwellers health, not the actual amount. Your dweller takes less damage but your stimpacks heal same amount everytime. Making stimpacks and radaway more effective.
      If you want your wasteland adventurers to last longer, make sure then have +11 Endurance from their outfits so they won't receive the random radiation damage events. With 11 Endurance you practically don't need Rad-away (unless you are on a Quest).
      Piper outfit fits this idea, it provides +2 Endurance which is enough to stop radiation and +6 other stats on top of that.

    • @Laireso
      @Laireso 5 років тому +13

      Intelligence is the most useless stat in combat, it doesn't make your stimpacks heal for more, nor give you any combat advantage (like accessing terminals with defenses, which would be cool). It only affects your performance while exploring wasteland.
      However you need intelligence in your Vault for numerous things. Namely stimpack + radway production and crafting.
      Since I made my Vault Institute themed I craft Virgil's Rifle a lot, and it need Intelligence for crafting so my vault is more Intelligence focused than would be optimal.

  • @unangwatataro7215
    @unangwatataro7215 8 років тому +80

    You actually skipped the best weapon which in some situations is - Vengeance. The reason for this is it changes target after the kill. With dragon's maw or fire hydrant killing target with 1 hp makes you lose all remaining damage. Vengeance would just target another enemy and deal damage. MIRV divides damage among all targets which is less useful if you need to kill boss quickly.

    • @Pressingx
      @Pressingx  8 років тому +15

      Since this video came out I've used the Vengeance quite a bit more, and my opinion on the Dragons Maw still stands. I do plan on uploading a Vengeance V.S Dragons Maw episode of Vault Log, and I'll address the pros and cons of each in the upcoming episode.
      I do agree that the Vengeance is better in some situations, but the situations that it excels in are fights against lower hp targets, and those don't really pose much of a threat to a fully-leveled team. The Deathclaw staggering is also helpful, but I've found that the Maw seems to eliminate them faster. I'll elaborate more in the forthcoming episode. Thanks for watching. :)

    • @unangwatataro7215
      @unangwatataro7215 8 років тому +3

      You are propably right. But damage of Dragon's Maw isnt that much higher. 1-3 more. Now consider Strength adds also bonus damage. Not sure how it works but the higher total damage is the more hits you need from Dragons Maw to offset damage loss in case of overkill to be more effective than Vengeance (lower monster's hp=more difference). Works vs Deathclaws but you don't meet them often. I guess its personal preference, quicker trash fights or better tough fights. Or just the looks (Vengeance looks cool) :)

    • @salmasrac3351
      @salmasrac3351 6 років тому +10

      MIRV is an oxymoron of itself. An AoE weapon should be most effective against larger groups of enemies, but the fact that it divides a fixed damage value amongst all enemies results in the MIRV becoming WEAKER the more enemies are involved.
      smh

    • @Laireso
      @Laireso 5 років тому +5

      MIRV and other explosive weapons have amazing critical hits tho. Not only it deals damage to the one you target, but to everyone else in the room. When you hit 5x crit damage using Dragon's Mow, it kills the boss, but if you do 5x crit with MIRV, it kills the boss AND everyone else in that room.
      And against weaker enemies you meet on some quests, you rather want splash than direct damage to clear the rooms quicker.
      Maybe the best way to use MIRV is with +7 Luck outfit?

  • @VOLKAERIN
    @VOLKAERIN 8 років тому +26

    Actually, I think the dragons maw is better for vault defense and MIRV is best for questing -- REASON ---> If you have three MIRVs you can attack all enemies in the room at once and do massive damage. But in my observation, Vengeance seems to have the highest attack rate because it fires for so long, its best for clearing quantities of small mobs.

    • @TheArklyte
      @TheArklyte 8 років тому +3

      That is why MIRV is also a must have for Vault entrance where you can have up to 6 enemies, but only 2 defenders.

    • @Hairysteed
      @Hairysteed 7 років тому +1

      In vault defense the only thing that counts is the average damage output of the weapon and not the attack pattern (ever wonder why feral ghouls keep dying even when there's nobody firing at them)

    • @Andosier
      @Andosier 6 років тому +1

      I agree that Maw is best for vault defense. Best on door and best on most dwellers in other rooms.
      I also agree that MIRV is best for questing, but only in some circumstances. There is no damage loss from switching targets. The critical damage is never wasted on single targets. But in a room with a very strong boss and multiple smaller mobs, the MIRV and MIRV criticals are wasted due to the even split of damage between all targets.
      I think Maw for defense, and 2xMaw +1MIRV for quests is best for questing.
      Why 2xMaw on quests? At higher levels having 2xMaw focussing on 1 mob at a time doubles the kill speed and reduces the enemy damage output faster. There is some overall damage output lost on switching targets, but the kill rate is a steady progression instead of delayed multi-kill.

    • @planetmaxwell01
      @planetmaxwell01 6 років тому

      your are absolutely correct. the only thing thats hard about the mirv is when you have 2 or more of them in a room, the room is shaking when the grenades hit, and if you get a chance to do a critical attack, its hard to click on the target with the room shaking so bad

    I like how we can select each character and decide which enemy he or she will attack, especially in case of fighting a death claw. sometimes during quest there is a boss level claw along with 2 or more reg sized. i make all my dwellers attack the big one first. but it works best and fast if all dwellers fighting are level 50 and trained all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. with a better weapon like plasma rifle

    • @ZacksRockingLifestyle
      @ZacksRockingLifestyle 4 роки тому +1

      As @Cuck said, I’ll put in aslightly different wording. Legendary weapons generally have a wide spread of damage, like the Lone W. with the spread of 5 (7-2 = 5) and the MIRV with the same spread of 5, (27-22 = 5)

  • @ZearouAyedea497
    @ZearouAyedea497 7 років тому +24

    I prefer Virgil's Rifle or Vengeance during Quests. They don't waste potential damage dealt as much since they spread the damage over multiple shots and can move on to the next live enemy during fire. With high agility stats, they can really cut down enemies fast.

    @lockingfine Рік тому +2

    the fire hydrant bat is a melee weapon and as such will only allow a single person wielding one to attack a baddie at a time (dwellers with a ranged weapon can also attack at the same time), Dragon maw is THE top damage weapon in the game but fires only a single burst then recharges - i like many prefer to mix it up with the weapons to cover all bases.

    In my quest teams I try to balance the damage by having one rocket launcher / fat man and two ranged weapons. When I'm fighting tougher enemies I often combine the ranged weapons on one enemy so the received damage minimizes a bit.

    I agree the dragon's maw is the best over all, but when questing I like to take one melee weapon because if you switch targets to a enemy attacking another dweller the enemy will also switch targets to your melee dweller. Using this trick you can make a "tank" to absorb some stop some damage for a weaker dweller.

    really low dmg, when theres one enemy left it does like 1/4 the damage dragon maw does, its like its doing its same low dmg to one, two, or five enemies. like the dmg is not being divided and distributed amongst all enemies but instead distributed across the room in general no matter the enemy count in the room, were it 1, 3 or 5 enemies. it bugged me so much that i replaced it for vengeance and i find myself having a much faster clear time with 2 maws 1 venegeance insted of 2 maws and 1 mirv, if theres manny small things vengeance just keeps switching to the next. like i had 1 ordinary molerat that mirv took 4 shoots to kill while the maw oneshooted it

    3 fire hydrant can attack the same enemy, you just have to manually target after they kill the original target. All splash damage types benefit highly from +damage pets. Just like fallout games melee weapons deal bonus damage when strength is increased, 10 max +7 from legendary military apparel plus a pet with +6 damage turns fire hydrant into a one hit kill on boss death claws.

    It may have been said already by someone else here, but you can individually choose your targets. That way you can get a better idea on weapon damage with two dwellers attacking their own targets.

    In regards to the Fire Hydrant Bat if you change your attack target of the dweller using it the dweller will often switch places with another dweller, making it useful for changing who is taking damage at that present moment.

    I like to bring each of those three weapons on quests. The fire hydrant bat guy can be your most tanky guy with the most health so you go though less stimpaks when there is only one enemy left in the room. The dragon’s maw guy is good support for the guy with the fire hydrant bat so you can down 1 enemy at a time. Finally the guy with the MIRV is good when you have a room full of small or weak enemies.

    just so I don't read 331 comments, may I ask if you changed your opinion from this video, to, I think, your 8th video, where you say you prefer the Vengeance over the D.M. ... am I correct in assuming this? A group of Vengeance x3 questing is better than 3X D.M. questing... ?
    So basically 'The Vengeance' is the best weapon for a team questing.
    Let me know, sorry I just joined the party, thanks for your time, anyone reading this.

  • @Nathan35077
    @Nathan35077 Рік тому

    I know this is old, but dragons maw is NOT the best weapon! And I will die on this hill forever! It may TECHNICALLY do the most damage, but it only fires 1 shot. So you’ll waste a lot of that damage. Compare that to vengeance that does nearly the same damage but in multiple shots, when one enemy dies it’ll finish up that damage against the next enemy. If you were to actually break down the amount of time it takes to clear rooms between those two weapons, you’ll see vengeance does the best. The MIRV does well but only if everyone in the room has one. Otherwise it keeps too many enemies alive for long periods, dealing too much damage to you. But vengeance is by far my favorite. My secondary weapon I like, mostly for vault dwellers, in late game are the alien blasters. Destabilizer. It’s not insane damage, but for just equipping all dwellers with? It’s great. But of course it costs a lot to craft those too, so most end up with just plasma rifles until I can get enough crafted. But if you’re going for the most useful gun for quests? Vengeance is it. Period. Dragons maw would probably be best for vault security. As it doesn’t show their health bars, so idk exactly how that works. So throwing them in your vault entrance, or top floor might be beneficial. Especially if you already have some of the weapons. I wouldn’t craft any, but if you have some use them there.

  • @ilno
    @ilno 4 місяці тому

    Now maybe I'm just spitballing here but to be fair Gatling and Flame thrower type weapon seems to be the highest DPS of all. When your dwellers in quest swap target, they usually do this moving animation of repositioning themselves.
    Now here's the catch, any other weapon resets their attack interval after they reposition so they have to wait before attacking again. But for Minigun and Flam thrower type, they count the moving animation as their "reload" animation to so they will immediately attack again after repositioning. You should test it out in 2024

  • @fraillames
    @fraillames Рік тому

    "What has been stated is incorrect, given that when a dweller reaches 10 in strength, as written on the wiki, the assigned weapon will always deal the maximum available damage. Max "Dragon's Maw" = 29; Max "Fire Hydrant Bat" = 31; therefore, the "Fire Hydrant Bat" is the best weapon in the game. However, this is only true in the vault and wasteland explorations. During quests, the damage is randomized within the weapon's limits, which would mean that "Dragon's Maw" is better in quests. In fact, "Dragon's Maw" is a heavy weapon, meaning the reload time will be long and not influenced by the dweller's agility. From 14 A (agility), the weapon will always have the same firing rate, whereas the "Fire Hydrant Bat," being a melee weapon, has no reload time, making it faster and better in terms of long-term damage compared to "Dragon's Maw." Of course, the point about gameplay during quests is valid; it's a weapon that is not suitable for solo quests.
    P.S.: This gameplay mechanic is only present in quests and not in the vault (where the total room damage is taken into account)."

  • @Wyr3d
    @Wyr3d 7 років тому

    @ 2:40 - I would imagine that's because its a melee weapon. Basically you're trying to play three different weapon types off against each other, which is pointless. Would be better to focus on type: "Best of Melee/Ranged/AoE" and provided details for these instead.
    The game mechanic probably only allows one melee fighter per enemy, so this will apply to all melee weapons. This doesn't matter that specific ranged weapon "better" than the melee weapon, it's just proof that ALL ranged weapons are more useful in groups.
    The third is an AoE weapon - stands to reason it does less damage, since it's applied to all enemies. You're right it saying it's annoying to seen over and again though. As for "best" weapon, it's kinda situational. For example, the AoE might be more useful than the ranged when a wasteland explorer finds a solo quest location:
    I had one dweller enter Redrocket with a rifle. There were a pack of ghouls inside. She still beat them down with her rifle, but it would have been more efficient if she'd had an AoE weapon available.

  • @BrentHollett

  • @phnxkyplace
    @phnxkyplace 5 років тому

    In my opinion, all of those are not the most powerful. If you have your agility maxed out and have a armor that gives you 5+ agility and you equip Vengeance... there’s a average reload time between fire that is 0.5 seconds or less meaning your dealing around 50-70 damage in 2 seconds.

    Because of that game mechanics may change, Dragon Maw will be on the 2 place, after the MIRV. So if Bethesda adds area damage, 2 vault dwellers with MIRVs will easily kill any mutant or and raider within the matter of seconds. Still, Dragon Maw is a great weapon, and I respect your opinion.

  • @InanisNihil
    @InanisNihil 8 років тому

    with the Hydrant... you have to actually click your dweller and drag them onto the next enemy... so they wont just stand their... butt thats the downside... constantly having to manage them... T-T
    as far as the Mirv goes... vs the Maw's... in my testing.. they seem to clear the whole room about the same time... it just that how the damage is dealt between the two... the perception of how fast a room is clear is different..
    best set up for me is either two mirv's and a maw or two maw's and a mirv's... lets not forget the vengeance... its not the strongest... butt it does not waste damage.. cause if you kill an enemy it transfers its attacks to the next target...
    lol Mirv's are great if you have all maxed stats plus 7 agility outfit... xD it makes for a good fireworks barrage show... >w<
    not sure how defense works exactly... i know based on what's attacking and how many attackers... all your dwellers lose health regardless... like one deathclaw causes all dwellers to lose health in a room.... what im asking is.. do the enemies also lose health when in a vault room regardless if not being directly attacked.. if so... maybe the hydrant would best used as a defense weapon... i hope you understand what im saying...

    • @Pressingx
      @Pressingx  8 років тому +1

      I think the weapon with the highest damage average is the best for vault defense. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that defense damage is dealt even if the invaders aren't being directly attacked. It's kind of hard to tell since the attack animations aren't as clear as the questing ones. I wish the developers had a F.A.Q. where they addressed all of the game's mechanics. :p

  • @Elretotrinidad
    @Elretotrinidad 6 років тому

    I just started playing this game so forgive the late timing. I recommend one Dragon's Maw (or Vengeance) and two MIRV's for fast annihilation of enemies on quests. The MIRV's damage will assist the person with the Dragon's Maw when damaging ALL enemies. When the character with the Dragon's Maw switches to another target after killing an enemy, the remaining enemies are already reasonably low and quickly killed.Basically, it is like ganging up on an enemy without micro managing.
