Plasma caster is literally a better version of the regular gatlong gun. Hits like a truck and basically prints ammo. Use it for trash, use it for bosses, doesn't matter. That it is merely an honorable mention is a crime.
I have a prime plasma caster and because it prints money I’ve given away 2k worth of ammo to some people
I've got a Holy Fire with Aristocrats and Pyromaniac that I call "Money to Burn", lol. Brilliant weapon.
LOL Love the name :)
Might give that a go I'm running vampire atm
Thats an awesome name haha
What perk cards benefit the holy flame?
@@_Phn1x_ I'm a heavy gunner, I use both master and expert heavy gunner, bear arms, lock and load and blocker, than I've got one gun army for staggering and crippling, making high hp enemies useless because their arms don't work HAHA
I agree with this top 5. The I think the holy fire is the most useful and well rounded that can be used for many different purposes
I really like to listen to these type of videos during gameplay.. Helps give me an idea of weapons and or quest lines I haven't run through yet etc. Very helpful content thank you!
As an Ultracite Gatling Laser enjoyer I've still yet to get the plan for that weapon to drop, I've been mashing out events and dailies in the bog for over a month. I had to find already built versions to scrap to unlock mods to finally get the configuration I wanted.
If I ever get my hands on that plan, I'm always going to have at least one built UItracite Gatling Laser in my vendor to lessen the frustration of any other players out there that want to run this weapon but can't access it.
I’m a big UGL fan too it’s just unfortunate that the DPS is so much lower than the Gatplas or gauss mini. Its like a long range laser pointer ❤
That's how I am with the Gat Plas and it's new mods. Always have one in vendor for 0 Caps.
All great picks! What i love specifically about the holy fire is that you don't have to be 100% accurate to hit enemies and with pyromaniac youre just a 1 gun army. I love my .50 ill always have one cause it's just an old fashioned hard hitting machine that looks ba and there's like only 2 mods you need for it. It takes a long time to break, has nice ammo capacity, it's great for long or short range, no wind up, the only thing that sucks is the reload
Out and about right now, I hope you have a good day MrWestTek!
You too buddy :)
I just want to say thank you for making these videos you have really helped me I have just started playing fallout 76 I have played fallout 4 but it still didn’t prepare me enough for 76 so thank you.
You're very welcome, glad you're enjoying the game! I thought I was going to walk threw this game coming from 4 as well lol.
Five years playing 76. I've had or currently have every big gun. The Cremator is by far my favorite at the moment. Vampire with 50% limb damage and extra AP. The holy fire and guass mini gun would be 2nd and 3rd on my list. Great video as always!
Fallout Tactics Gauss Minigun sounded so, so much better. Wish we had that instead of the popcorn machine we've got.
Gatling plasma plan is also sold in the whitespring mall from the bot in the back powder room, server hop until he sells it
My favorite heavy weapon all time is the Holy fire (Vamp), you basically become unstoppable everywhere, my second favorite weapons is the Gatling Plasma gun (AA). As always great video my friend.
Plasma caster for life!
Hell yes.
Yes
Plasma caster with quad and rapid and pin pointer for add clear with a gatling plasma for boss dps is the best weapon setup ive ever used in this game lol
Plasma Caster will always be my favorite gun haha:p
My attack everything weapon is the Holy Fire. Scorched queen or raids requires my gatling plasma. My main gun used to be the gauss mini though as you said it eats ammo like people breathe air. I did the airport crates to get the extra mods for the gat plas and under 100 tries, I got four mods including the stinging and the accelerated. I keep the cremator for tagging at the eviction notice event.
Just started a heavy gunner build this is perfect
Hope this helps :)
If you're on PC I have a bloodied gatling plasma for sale. 420 is my standard price for all weapons
@@corndog2098 if your PlayStation I could give you some legendary mods for free
Spin up times can be a real pain at public events if you need to tag mobs. Gatling plasma also has a bad habit of outright gooifying your target before you can trigger daily challenges like de-limb 10 ghouls.
I've got an explosive ultracite light machine that cripples in seconds, plus with one gun army perk in luck
@@katzunkaimoto8889same here, I call mine Melty, because it just melts their health bars lol
Explosive plasma caster and a nice crit vats build. Absolutely broken for dps, sniping, tagging, and printing ammo to change for whatever you need in the exchanger.
Danke!
❤️❤️❤️
Oh that’s good to know, I’ve only been looking at the Plans catagory in the vendors when looking for the mods for the Gatling plasma, I’ve probably passed so many and didn’t even know ;~;
What platform? I know the plans and can craft one for you for free.
The crank fired Gatling is literally the Swiss Army knife of heavy weps, never leave home without it. Glad to see it included in this list.
.50 cal is definitely 💯 percent better now with the reductions to AP cost. Whatever prefix works for your build, plus vital or rapid, and vats optimized is a beast.
I want to like the gauss mini but the blinding blue explosions just makes it less enjoyable for me.
You hit my top guns. The Holy Fire tears everything except scorch beast to pieces. Only gripe is how it works or rather doesn't work on the Lost. Don't know why, but 200 shots per. My numero uno is 50cal vampire with exploding rounds. I can stand toe to toe with Ledgendary scorch queen and never use a stim pack. Wonderful. But beyond all is my four shot missile launcher with the fire and forget. Aim at the queen, it beeps and no matter where you aim, it hits her. I killed one Ledgendary queen and two regular alone last night.
I love the heavyguns, here's some of mine if you want a good legendary combo for the guns. Holy Fire: Anti-Armor/FFR/Durability/Pyromaniac's .50: Aristocrat's/Explosive/Something/Polished GP: Aristocrat's/Explosive/Something/Stabalized Pepper Shaker (I call this one the "Cripiller": Aristocrat's/50% limb damage/Reload speed/Fracturer
Holy Fire, with Vamp, Explosive, Light Weight, Pyro. Followed by the .50 and Gatlin with same legendary stats...except fracture for 4th. These weapons and combos that works real good for me.
As you mentioned the Holy Fire, a mutated beasts of burden event came on 😎
This is a good list but with the reduced AP cost my favorite To use is the LMG with AA, rapid, -25 AP cost and pin pointers.
1. Holy Fire has to be there’s no set backs at all to it.
Honorable mention is the light machine gun with the right build. It obliterates as well. And it has good range
when ive been using the gauss minigun sense it came out pretty much and never knew those explosive perks worked with it
Finally subscribed because I noticed I haven’t but your videos always helped out. 💪🏼💯
Thanks for subscribing and watching! Glad you find them helpful :)
It is a hell getting the mods for GP.
I can't argue with this list at all
Thanks I just started but I will keep all this in mind have a good one
Let’s go Mr West! Thank you sir ❤
Much appreciated!
Definitely a nod to how bad the gleaming depths heavies are. 1.GatPlas only downside is the wind up 2.Holy Fire 3. Plasma Caster 4. Didnt know there were any other heavy guns in the game...
Have all BIG weapons, my top 3 is Gatling Plasma, Gatling Gun and Holy Fire. Have every weapon from Raid and plans too, those are okay, i guess. Honestly i scrap them.
@@mr246-bw4uj Either weak bait or you come off as jealous.
Pick your fancy.
LMGs and 50cals still being slept on ..
Plasma caster with quad for add clear with gatling plasma for boss dps is the best setup ive ever used and ive been playing heavies for years
shout out to LMG , its a very fun gun
I have all these, and I often find myself switching back to my .50-cal and my Gatling Gun.
You can get the plasma caster from Minerva before you complete the main quest. I got mine way before I finished. My favorite weapon, The range is amazing.
Good heavy top 5 list For the squad part of rad it would be good to know how it should be set up for deadliest effect to those enemies
I agree with no 4. Gatling guns are the best starting heavy guns to have in this game and it's good for ammo farming. It's also aperently a high dmg gun when primed on a scorch beast queen or maybe I'm mistaken
It's power really isn't bad at all, but there are just better guns for damage..
@MrWestTek true. It also depends on ledgendary mods for 1 and 2 star I think.
Mine for example is a vampire explosive
For ammo like the gauss mini just switch do it after you complete a section of the raids it’s what I’ve been doing since I started using a gauss mini and I’ve been able to stockpile loads of ammo
50 cal my number 1🤝🏻🔥
Okay now I need to get the Holy Fire flamer, I am just running around with a regular flamer at the moment lol
I tested after long time again my cryolator
Damn it rocks now would recommend to try it again
In my opinion plasma caster is better than the Gatling gun
Have a two shot plasma gatt which does amazing but would like to upgrade or mod. Any new players should look out for any vampire LMG which is only legendary 2 star and will help keep you alive during most events.. any full auto Railway Rifles are awesome too and infinite ammo with crafting any steel. I'm going to head out and get a holy fire now after this vid so thanks :)
That heavy gun build is quite nice, but what armour are you using? I'm assuming secret service but what legendary perks?
So far at level 130 my favorite gun is the quad fixer. So much fun
So glad I had enough gold for the plasma castor
Enjoy :)
Gatling is my daily its extremely overlooked ari ex and lightweight with polished 1 taps most 3rd person spam fire for more tanky enemies.
@1:28 mods for cremator are at raiders as well?
I've had zero luck with the mods for the Gatling plasma, even after running the missions listed about a dozen times. We need mods for the .50 cal
What is your opinion on the nuka launcher
I got the nuka launcher recently. It's amazing. I'm struggling to figure out the target locking, especially for scorchbeasts. For most others, I can fire almost straight up, and the grenades find their targets on the way down. I love mine.
another 50 cal can be found near the shooting range in back of pickup truck heading towards scout camp area
I'm sorry, but I have to put the plasma caster above the Gatling gun. It's my go-to gun, and it kills everything. I go Melee with the autoaxe for bosses, other than that, plasma caster all the way.
My list isn't a top heavy list, it's a list of guns that work well together to handle every situation in the game. I've also gone full heavy energy so that I don't need Bandolier: 1. Gatling Plasma, 2. Holy Fire, 3. DC Tesla Cannon, 4. Plasma Caster, and 5. Pepper Shaker. That being said, I use Plasma Caster and DC Tesla Cannon more than any other weapon on my list.
The reason I use the Plasma Caster and then DC Tesla Cannon the most is simply because most mobs in the game can be grouped up and one shoted with the DC Tesla Cannon, then stragglers can be picked off with Plasma Caster. The work very well together. I fire my DC Tesla Cannon into a group then switch to Plasma Caster for easy pickins. If someone else kills my stragglers that's even better, because I can focus on tagging with the tesla cannon. If I'm surrounded and can't use DC Tesla, I switch to Holy Fire and burn everything -- And when I'm up against a bullet sponge, I switch to Plasma Gatling.
It's funny that for how powerful the Gatling Plasma is, I use it the least in my daily grind. I only really use it for boss mobs at the end of events and raids. It's the kill weapon for sure, but you don't need to carry a lot of ammo for it.
Plasma Caster fills a sniper niche and fires instantly without needing to spin up. You need a weapon that can instantly snipe long range targets without requiring time to spin up.
Pepper Shaker is great for crippling, especially Scorchbeast wings to force them to land. Pepper Shaker also synergizes with the DC Tesla Cannon because both can use Fusion Cells. That's why it's on my list. It's a synergizing tool that no other heavy weapon fulfills as well as this one. I use it to cripple then switch to one of my kill weapons.
I found a pyromaniac today but it was 15k and I only had 12 😢 hour or two later I had 30k but they were gone lol. Even did a bunch of raids and got a bunch of other 4 stars. This one eludes me every time 😂
Best 76 tips in the game
My best Heavy
1. CREMATOR
2. GAUSS MINIGUN
3. .50CAL MACHINE GUN
HANDSUP GUY
hey MrWestTek, i have an AA 50% crit 25% cost gat plas and Im just not seeing the numbers you’ve got. Is it because Im not buffing? I have stinging core receptacle and use your build for it.
Can you do a top 5 commando build guns?
I just may 😁👌
@@MrWestTekthat would be awesome 😎
When you talk about the sound of a weapon perhaps you could turn the background music off nice as it is in this video.
Light machine gun
*Quad or 2 shot
**Explosive
*** -25 Ap
****Recoil and Stability+50
Is there going to be anotehr of these after the perk card change?
Exactly which mods do you reccomend for the Gatling Plasma Gun?...
Thanks in advance.
I always thought the gauss minigun was better than the gat plasma. With the major downside being the ammo cost making 270 per flux sucks. If you are running a gat plasma with accelerated stinging and rapid the recoil is crazy unless you run a vats build. I find the minigun is far more accurate at long ranges getting you more consistent shots that being said my heavy gunner build is a non vats build.
2shot/Exploding Prime. 50 cal for the WIN
What would be the best legendary effects for holy fire?
hello mrwesttek are you going to update your 1-50 new player guide?
How do you keep the gatling plasma on target. I find it's really hard to keep it on target. The gatling laser is easier to handle.
Lately ive been messing around with the fatman or rather the Overkill, mainly for boss kills or just finishers
Still trying to figure out how to use the other mod the MVR or whatever its called
Out of curiosity, have not seen anywhere but can you craft and sell 4star legendary mods? Would love an Pyromaniac mod for my Holy Fire aswell
Yes. You can craft and sell 4 star effects. The chance of learning the mod is a gamble to say the least and crafting will cost 120 legendary modules. So you might not find many players willing to sell 4 star mods for caps.
Im lvl 156 and stil using gatling canon with right mods and legy mods its deadly weapon
Wait. Plasma cores are gonna go in the ammo box? Did I miss something? Does that also include Fusion cores?
Mkay, I just hopped in the PTS for the first time and verified...yes...Plasma cores and Fusion cores can now go into the Ammo box. I don't care what else they do, as long as this makes it to the live game!!!!
.50 cal is my favorite.
It's a beauty
If I can find a vampire's .50 I'd be set.
I run vampire explosive durability on my .50 I love it I run over eater hellcat Armour it's not the the strongest set but it's my favorite looking power armour
@ Buy a vampire or try to scrap some to learn.
I got the gauss minigun myself from Minerva recently
I would rank the Plasma Caster a lot higher for regular enemies as I one-shot even super mutants with my build and mods on it.
Gatling guns are so slow and ive got an aristocrat's, i haven't really figured out the best box mods or other mods to make it actually efficient
What Gatling gun build are you using, does not look my basic Gatling gun? Have you found that the Gauss gun does not work at times? Thank you.
What it reputation and how do you get it?
Cremator is great, it is absolute replacement for grenade launcher for me
Gatling gun I dont like much, gun just didnt clicked on me in this game
Gauss minigun is surely fun, but it is so ammo hungry so I havent been using that much really, it needs ton of dedicated ammo farming/crafting and it is spinup, which I find annoying in this game
Holly fire is amazing, it is flamer with insane reach, I woupdnt say it is rare drop of event
I would say, tesla canon belongs on list too, at least as honorable mention
How do people have so much ammo for the gatling plasma ?
Just in time!
How can we find or get icon legendaries so we can grind the mod for it? And where can i find canned coffe machine or company tea machine?
You can get company tea machine and Coffee machine from the atoms shop. I am not sure if they are seasonal or not. The legendary mods are best to run the raid with a group of people and run eviction notice whenever you see it for the legendary mods. Be sure to scrap all the guns and armor for the legendary mods that you are missing.
How do I get the fire on a short flamer blue?
I bought laser caster and gaus minigun from minerva thanks to you but what about the mods of it ?
Is Blood build dead ?
Love the list, but I must be doing something wrong ,because the plasma caster is a real dud for me. Just don't work more than a 10mm pistol.
How do I get mods for the creamator?
I use the Nuka Launcher! It destroys everything 😊
I’ve just got it but haven’t had a chance to use it, is it that good?
Gus mini gun is op but it eats amo like niko kado avokado
I have 3 plasma casters for different situations hehe
Gatlin plasma my main and holy fire my daily
I have mixed opinions on the holy fire maybe I got bad draws for legendarys but I have a bloodied flamer with explosive and 3rd star intelligence and it does way more dps then my holy fire even not using the bloodied part of it only draw back is way less range then holy fire
Gatling plasma consumes to much ap for me
Def dont show up a with a Gatling gun to a raid unless you are low level
gatling gun and plasma caster do not deserve to be on this list lmfao
I got it wen it was in season pass
Scraped holy fire :l
We'll get another one. I did the same. Do Beast of Burden whenever possible
Yo
Hahaha never doubted ya....
Anyones fixer get dwarved. Mine is doin way less damage
