Kremvh's Tooth is particularly good as it's essentially a modified machete and the legendary effect follows the blade. So, you can remove the blade and then add it to a different machete. If you get a legendary machete with a good effect like, say, radioactive, and then change the blade out with Kremvh's Tooth, you'll have a machete with the wounding effect, the poison effect, and radiation damage. Once I got that in my melee only playthrough, everything was just stupidly easy, even on very hard difficulty.
That's absolutely right and I do recall mentioning that in the video. I try to get that blade as soon as I can and hold on to it until I get a machete I like. I actually use a machete as my go to weapon for melee weapons.
The piggy bank is actually a mod you can remove from the Fatman. It's extremely fun attaching the mod to BIG BOY and watching two piggy banks fly through the air decimating enemies around you. Also if you kill Suggs instead you can get a unique launcher called Flakker. Unfortunately has unique ammo that's supposed to launch Nuka grenades but it's bugged on consoles and the ammo for it doesn't spawn.
Yeah that's another weapon I wanted to add but did not due to that known bug. I have used it on PC and its a great weapon to have. Its a shame its not very accessible at the moment.
@@TrappedInFallout If you want a big blast but still accessible and easy to use, you can get piggy bank grenades from suggs as well as the mines. All of the wikis either miss them or have no info past them existing. But they are basically buyable nuka grenades for 120 caps. Great for clearing big areas early on and you have time to hide unlike with the launcher.
The Kiloton Radium Rifle. The Kiloton radium rifle is a unique radium rifle that bears the Explosive Legendary effect. It can be bought from Brother Kane in the Nucleus.
@@TrappedInFallout Mo I am excited to see what future content you will have for Fallout 4 and the DLC! You are a top tier content creator, and my favorite Fallout source. I am so happy to see your subscriber base grow.
If you haven't done the Sugg's part already be careful going back for the baseball launcher. Suggs got killed on one of my play thrus by the thugs holding the baseball launcher and finding his unique ammo's for the new weapons elsewhere in the game is harder, not impossible, but a bit more on chance.
That's right and that why it's important to keep Suggs alive. I really should have mentioned tinned that in the guide as its pretty important. Thanks for pointing it out.
The Chinese Grenade rifle is a absolute game changer, and makes getting the max level hellfire power armor by ironworks a breeze by melting that power armor in a few seconds!
I totally agree. On a new Survival game I get the Spray and Pray first followed by getting The Chinese Grenade Launcher and that sets me up for the remaining game.
when u come out of sanctuary via bridge and turn left then go straight u will find a disposal ground that has a fatman and 1 mininuke that can help with that guy. also once u take that guy's stuff, u can get loads of flamer ammo in ironworks + clearing the keeper's note stuff grants u another incinerator. then when u leave saugus ironworks u will get ambushed by another guy in a set of mk6 hellfire armor lol. u can legit start the game with both u and a companion in the 2nd best power armor with insane weapons.
I just got this 2 days ago after completing that quest. The pipe grenade launcher with the fast reload and fire rate is pretty badass too. I literally started playing for the first time 6 days ago I’m obsessed. I tried playing years ago and gave up after an hour or two. I just got bored of games like battlefield and COD and Assassins Creed and I’m happy as hell I gave it another try.
@@benjaminstearns7104 I feel this I was tired of my old games now FO4 is my 4th most played game. Now I'm trying out Cyberpunk 2077 despite the reviews. If you wanted some more games to try if you haven't I recommend Uncharted 1-4, Max Payne, Last of Us 1-2, Tomb Raider, Mafia 2, Watch Dogs, and Insurgency 1-2 (which is like CoD/BF, but once you play or watch you'll see its 10x better)
I got the Tesla Cannon by going through the glowing sea looking for Virgil and defeated some enclaves that gave me some crazy good power armors, combat armor gear and weapons and that tesla cannon relatively early on the game, this is the first time I ever played fallout so I was mad happy lol
It's a solid weapon especially if you can manage to get your hands early enough on it. It's a great crowd control weapon also and unlike the Fatman will not take you out in the process.
From the vanilla game itself, the Pickman's blade, Rockville slugger and The Last Minute are some of the top tier weapons that are awesome even in survival...But great list and kudos to covering next gen update👍🏻
Thank you, I appreciate that. It so happens that Pickmans Blade was something I was looking into today in hopes of covering I'm a future video. It's a solid weapon for sure and deadly in Sneak mode.
When u get the junk jet, right when u go into that room with that giant rocket looking thing, as soon as u walk in before you go down th stairs, if you look to your left there will be a set of stairs leading to a higher floor room. To access the stairway you need to jump on the rail and do a little parkour and jump onto the stairs, when u get to the room and kill the two synths there will be a fat man, an advanced safe and an expert level terminal
The Chinese Grenade Launcher is probably the most broken weapon in the game. It does a lot of explosive damage. Comparable to a missile launcher. The 40 mm Frag ammo is cheap. The ammo is available from the NPC that gives you the launcher (Stubbs), and it is also available from the other weapons dealers in game. Unfortunately most of the traders will only have 10 Frag ammo for sale at a time. What makes the Chinese Grenade Launcher broken is the extremely low VATS cost. You can use VATS to just delete any major threat to your existence. Due to the limited ammo you can't use it constantly, but when you need something gone now this is your boy.
I whole heartedly agree. Ever since I discovered it as part of the update I have almost always used it. I also combined it with the Ballistic Shield mod, Ballistic Weave and Dense modifications on my armor and practically take no residual damage myself.
It's stupidly OP and should be nerfed for the sake of game balance. The chinese grenade launcher doing more base damage then the missile launcher makes no sense given that the 40mm Grenade ammo is far lighter and cheaper. If they halved the damage it would still be a very powerful weapon without completely breaking the game. I am running an explosive melee build on survival and i just can't bring myself too use this gun because it makes the rest of my kit completely redundent. Me having too self nerf myself like that to not break the games balance is bad game design. I would be more understanding if this was some niche thing you have to go out of your way too get in the late game but you can littarally stumble into finding this gun 30 minuttes into the game and completely break the difficulty for yourself for the rest of the game even on survival difficulty.
The penetrating Chinese grenade launcher is already extremely overpowered but it stacks with the rifleman perk so you it can penetrate 60% of armor you can just imagine that…
I am kicking myself as I literally forgot about that one a a couple of others that would have been perfect to add for this guide. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
The best weapon by far is spray n pray. Early game, easy access, cheap ammo, it has it all. The only ones that are better in all scenarios you'd have to farm for them, like the explosive handmade rifle (a better version of spray n pray) or the instigatig gauss rifle
It's a great weapon for sure but it would be boring to say 'get the weapon and your sorted'. And that's why I tried to show a variety of weapons to hopefully suit different playstyles.
@@TrappedInFallout I understand. I figured after that maybe this weapon, due to it's long way of getting it wasn't really suited for a video like this. Very well put video, I recon the effort put ! Nice channel I discovered ;)
I love using them. I do wish that it was effect by the perk that makes you find more caps. Imagine thowing a tiny Piggy and then picking up close yo 1k in caps.
You could have mentioned you can grab a hazmaz suit in the room next to where you get the deliverer, as its the easiest way to get one early and you'll need it to get the last two weapons.
That's actually a fair point and I probably should have mentioned it in hindsight. Thanks for sharing. If I make any similar content then I Will try to remember that.
I have a VATS Crippling .308 & a Vats double barrel shotgun with a Lucky Sneak Build. I have to force myself to try other weapons cuz those two are working petty good for me.
If you happen to use VATs alot then these are great weapons to have on you. I know the feeling of using a weapon that is so effective but trying to use different weapons for difference experiences. Best of luck.
Oh man I was looking for Cricket the other day and went to each of her usual places, but when it came to Vault 81 I was looking INSIDE THE VAULT for her 🤦♂️
It's actually not a bad idea since it stands to reason she is a trader and the Overseer of Vault 81 does allow outsiders if they are willing to trade. But yes Cricket only stops by outside the Vault.
Wow thank you. I am trying my best to make content that feels useful and also trying to keep my content both informative and enjoyable. And I may also make content around facts too for Fallout ha ha.
i have a small problem with the piggy fat man, Marvin blown himself by shooting me in close range and now his weapon may be in the space or somewhere else
If your not able to find the weapon then its not a bad thing as you can craft one yourself. Just get a standard Fatman and try to mod it using a weapons workbench. You will have the option to add thr Piggy Launcher to it yourself.
the piggybank launcher is a weapon mod much like the striker so putting the piggybank (or the striker) mod on the big boy from Arturo will allow you to fire 2 piggybanks (or strikers) old faithful from Arturo is great early game as well
I totally agree and thats why it's on the list. I really should have mentioned putting the Piggy Bank on the Big boy. That's a good shout. You would not need to do anything extra st all. Just take it off from one Fatman and onto the other.
2/21i recommend helping Trudy by offering help. I never buy chems, and if you kill Wolfgang the chem dealer Trudy will permanently give better prices. She is easy to go to sell and got good selection of resources .. aka junks.
That's a good point. If you don't see yourself using chems then you may as well get better prices from Trudy. That said you would lose access to Wolfgang - you may not purchase any chems but it is another vendor that you can sell stuff to.
@@TrappedInFallout My thinking is i can buy chem in Diamond City for regular price too (never did), there aren't many vendor you can have better prices with. And she is easy to find 24/7 not traveling. Note Trashcan Carla is another one, just say sarcastic when you meet her.
Honestly, getting that on Survival early on will set you up very nicely for the long run. You can mod the weapon also if you need to to help set playstyle.
They are solid weapons and when thinking about it there are some really good options even at level one. The Spray and Pray will carry you until at least mid game even on survival difficulty.
@@johnw391 Also easy to get, but you may have noticed there are no DLC weapons on this list. It is the bigger badder brother of the Spray n' Pray though, and more flexible since it can be modified to semi-auto for non-Commando builds. Plus it not only gains bonuses from Rifleman/Commando and Demolition Expert, if you have the INT for Nuclear Physicist you can boost the radiation dmg as well making it even more of a powerhouse weapon. Definitely a game changer.
Can't take Dogmeat into Vault 111 anymore. Literally started a new play through 4 days ago, and the game wouldn't let him come back in the Vault with me.
I did manage to get Dogmeat to go down into the Vault with me but he did not follow me. Instead he actually teleports inside after I spend some time on the surface.
It is a bit hit-and-miss. I have noticed that if you are still using the base-start VT jumpsuit and using the first weapon you picked up, he seems more inclined to follow you in. Dunno why. If he doesn’t appear immediately, try going into sneak mode. It might kick the game AI into moving him up close to you and spawn him in.
It's a solid weapon for sure. Would have been great had it been included as part of the base game. Still that does not take away from how versatile and powerful the weapon is.
Man I was sleeping on this game for years. I really enjoyed the TV show and right around the time PlayStation Plus was having a sale on the Fallout game so I picked up part 4 and 76. Part 4 is all I'm playing right now.
Ah I think I just replied to your comment on another video - sadly you can not remove any quest items so you will have to work around it. Instead of naming your weapon the single letter, you can try naming your book the same name as your special book and that should help make the book appear instead of anything else. I hope this helps.
I'd caution getting Spray and Pray early it really makes the game too easy even on hard I still use it at lvl 95 cuts through everything like butter same with the kiloton and problem solver but you have to aim with those lol
I totally agree, it's a solid weapon. I still get it but keep it in my backpocket. There are times when it either using the Spray and Pray or losing about 2 hours of gametime because I could not find a bed to sleep in ha ha.
I don't know if it's my character or if there was a nerf or something but I feel like the Tesla Canon is complete trash. My reason for this is it takes at least as many shots to take out a Gunner as my Kneecaper Laser Rifle and it doesn't have the added benefit of completely crippling your opponents while weighing quite a bit. I know it requires a blessing from the RNG Gods to get Kneecaper on a ranged weapon but in my opinion that is the superior weapon perk if you want to play on very hard and have it feel like it's on easy or normal. After a few moments of introspection I think I'm just really really disappointed in the Tesla Canon because not only does it have an appearance and name that seem powerful UA-camrs constantly call it the "most powerful weapon" and in my experience that is categorically false.
In my personal use I have found it to be very strong. It does a significant amount of damage and gets boosted with the right perks. It never needs to be reloaded and with the Beaton perk it even jumps from enemy to enemy making it very devastating. In my view it needs a little nerf.
@@TrappedInFallout I have it fully modded as far as what you can do at the workbench but what perks are best to use with it? I don't actually know it's weapon type and I am using a Rifleman build which I doubt boosts it but I feel like even if I pick up a pistol or and automatic weapon I'd still do more damage. Today when I get home from work I'll try playing with it some more and try going through any wiki pages I can find on it to see what I'm doing wrong.
2 shot or Instigating Gauss rifle are both better. Last Minute is also not available early since you need to unlock the Castle then do a quest for Ronnie before having her as a vendor. Everything on this list is easy to get under lvl 10.
Yeah, I could have mentioned it. In my guides I tend to stick to the video topic as best as possible and try not to digress which helps to keep thr videos as short as possible but it's still a valid observation.
The Manwell Rifle is stupidly good. The models look nice and you have quite a good amount of customization options. Its a short quest thst nets you two legendary Manwell rifles and a pet you can send to a settlement (or its unique meat). More Manwell rifles can be purchases from weapon vendors and are great weapon to give to your settlers. Nice video, TIFO!
For the purpose of the video I basically had some stored up but you can get a significant amount of caps by building something like a water farm or by using the caps glitch.
O came across the last one in the glowing sea at the onclave building and stole it from an npc that rocked me with it almost took me out in one hit still I think the quad penetrating tracking missal launcher is the most powerful weapon still
The Chinese grenade launcher rifle outperforms the missile launcher in every aspect. The missile launcher isn't bad but the Chinese grenade launcher rifle is just beyond broken. Cheaper ammo, bigger mag, better base damege, higher rate of fire, blast shield, Lighter ammo, lighter weapon and it ignores 30% of armor (60% with rifleman 5). The only thing the missile launcher can do that the Chinese grenade launcher rifle cant is the targeting computer which doesn't come close to making up for all the other downsides. It's no contest. If you want to use the missile launcher then you have to ignore that the Chinese grenade launcher rifle exists.
It's actually a great question. No idea. I have seen it in fair places that don't make sense for them to be there. I would have thought they may have been therefore pre-war but then they also seem too clean. Including ones found in beds with skeletons.
Stopped watching after first two. Just because it’s unique doesn’t mean it’s good. Old Faithful (as a sniper setup), Overseer’s Guardian, Spray and Pray, and Pickman’s Blade are the game breakers IMO. All available early, all will absolutely shred early to midgame enemies. (Edited, confused old faithful and old reliable, which is good but takes a while to get because it’s in Far Harbor, even if early in the DLC).
@@TrappedInFallout I played a long time ago and started the game back up and that is when I found my old account that I was just messing around in had Overseers Guardian. Love that rifle and after I got enough ammo, I went after it early on in my new start
I got lucky and found the wastelander pretty early. 50% limb damage. Running around the Commonwealth just creating cripples. Your a cripple...and your a cripple.
Actually, some of the weapons can be very effective in certain specific circumstances; for example, the Crippling Wrench BIG JIM could allow you to cheese certain fights against powerful melee enemies. In Concord, I've actually used Big Jim to attack, and cripple, the Deathclaw that pops out from the sewers; yes, I waited until it was distracted by a Raider, at which point I ran in close, took one or two swipes with Jim, then ran back to safety. When you see a feared Deathclaw belly-down, completely unable to attack you, you appreciate Big Jim.
Overseer's Guardian is FAR more powerful as an automatic, than it is as a sniper. Extra damage does more extra damage, when you fire more times. Anything that gives a flat amount of bonus damage, you want to do it more often, in any RPG.
@@TrappedInFallout There is also the accuracy issue of that weapon. I think there is some hidden math on the automatic weapons in VATS. They say they are less accurate in the display, but they seem to never miss, so long as you are in range. It's like you are getting three chances to hit, with the three round burst.
I agree, it's phrases I've been saying all my life and I am working on it and trying to limit/remove them from my everyday vocab. Suffice to say its been very hard but I am trying. Thanks for you feedback, much appreciated.

Can't take Dogmeat into Vault 111 anymore. Literally started a new play through 4 days ago, and the game wouldn't let him come back in the Vault with me.
I did manage to get Dogmeat to go down into the Vault with me but he did not follow me. Instead he actually teleports inside after I spend some time on the surface.
I'm a new Fallout player in 2024 and I just did this and Dogmeat grabbed it for me 🤷
It is a bit hit-and-miss. I have noticed that if you are still using the base-start VT jumpsuit and using the first weapon you picked up, he seems more inclined to follow you in. Dunno why.
If he doesn’t appear immediately, try going into sneak mode. It might kick the game AI into moving him up close to you and spawn him in.
The Manwell rifle, first thing i get and the only thing you need
It's a solid weapon for sure. Would have been great had it been included as part of the base game. Still that does not take away from how versatile and powerful the weapon is.
The BIG BOY modded with mirv launcher is overkill.
It totally sounds like it will be. I have not tried it but now you have me thinking, I probably will try it now.
Man I was sleeping on this game for years. I really enjoyed the TV show and right around the time PlayStation Plus was having a sale on the Fallout game so I picked up part 4 and 76. Part 4 is all I'm playing right now.
I know the feeling. Sometimes it feels like it's the only game I play which for the most part is true.
I feel like I'm listening to customer support
Lol thanks for the feedback.
I feel like I am watching Little Somalia listening to customer support !

How to store my keys so I can do the u are special perk. It won't let me do it because the keys are in my inventory.
Ah I think I just replied to your comment on another video - sadly you can not remove any quest items so you will have to work around it. Instead of naming your weapon the single letter, you can try naming your book the same name as your special book and that should help make the book appear instead of anything else. I hope this helps.
I'd caution getting Spray and Pray early it really makes the game too easy even on hard I still use it at lvl 95 cuts through everything like butter same with the kiloton and problem solver but you have to aim with those lol
I totally agree, it's a solid weapon. I still get it but keep it in my backpocket. There are times when it either using the Spray and Pray or losing about 2 hours of gametime because I could not find a bed to sleep in ha ha.
I don't know if it's my character or if there was a nerf or something but I feel like the Tesla Canon is complete trash. My reason for this is it takes at least as many shots to take out a Gunner as my Kneecaper Laser Rifle and it doesn't have the added benefit of completely crippling your opponents while weighing quite a bit. I know it requires a blessing from the RNG Gods to get Kneecaper on a ranged weapon but in my opinion that is the superior weapon perk if you want to play on very hard and have it feel like it's on easy or normal. After a few moments of introspection I think I'm just really really disappointed in the Tesla Canon because not only does it have an appearance and name that seem powerful UA-camrs constantly call it the "most powerful weapon" and in my experience that is categorically false.
In my personal use I have found it to be very strong. It does a significant amount of damage and gets boosted with the right perks. It never needs to be reloaded and with the Beaton perk it even jumps from enemy to enemy making it very devastating. In my view it needs a little nerf.
@@TrappedInFallout I have it fully modded as far as what you can do at the workbench but what perks are best to use with it? I don't actually know it's weapon type and I am using a Rifleman build which I doubt boosts it but I feel like even if I pick up a pistol or and automatic weapon I'd still do more damage. Today when I get home from work I'll try playing with it some more and try going through any wiki pages I can find on it to see what I'm doing wrong.
Last minute? Best I believe 👍
Ha ha I hope it helps.
2 shot or Instigating Gauss rifle are both better. Last Minute is also not available early since you need to unlock the Castle then do a quest for Ronnie before having her as a vendor. Everything on this list is easy to get under lvl 10.
Let us not talk about the fact that you just picked up some flame prove legs for your raider power armour......
Yeah, I could have mentioned it. In my guides I tend to stick to the video topic as best as possible and try not to digress which helps to keep thr videos as short as possible but it's still a valid observation.
Its weird that you include some CC content and yet skipped the Manwell Rifles
The Manwell Rifles, I probably could have included them but will need to double check.
The Manwell Rifle is stupidly good. The models look nice and you have quite a good amount of customization options. Its a short quest thst nets you two legendary Manwell rifles and a pet you can send to a settlement (or its unique meat). More Manwell rifles can be purchases from weapon vendors and are great weapon to give to your settlers. Nice video, TIFO!
Not everyone has it, since you have to buy it extra
I'd say not "weird" since the CC content mentioned is free and included with the patch so you don't even have to download it.
Where are you getting all those caps in the early game?
For the purpose of the video I basically had some stored up but you can get a significant amount of caps by building something like a water farm or by using the caps glitch.
You get you a knife make it seraded with a perk, and you can two shot most things under 15 and one shot everything at level 10 to 0
Yeap, melee can be really OP in Fallout 4 if done right.
I loved the video, thank you
Thank you for checking out my video and for your comment.
I got that a different way on the same quest
Nice, as long as you managed to get your hands on what you wanted then that's all good 😃
O came across the last one in the glowing sea at the onclave building and stole it from an npc that rocked me with it almost took me out in one hit still I think the quad penetrating tracking missal launcher is the most powerful weapon still
It's a solid weapon for sure and a real contender to be one of the strongest in the game.
The Chinese grenade launcher rifle outperforms the missile launcher in every aspect. The missile launcher isn't bad but the Chinese grenade launcher rifle is just beyond broken.
Cheaper ammo, bigger mag, better base damege, higher rate of fire, blast shield, Lighter ammo, lighter weapon and it ignores 30% of armor (60% with rifleman 5).
The only thing the missile launcher can do that the Chinese grenade launcher rifle cant is the targeting computer which doesn't come close to making up for all the other downsides.
It's no contest.
If you want to use the missile launcher then you have to ignore that the Chinese grenade launcher rifle exists.
These vids are nice, but clickbait-ish, in that, they fail to say that some weapons are ONLY attainable by doing a quest or questline...
Is it? The title suggests weapons that can help you have an edge which I think holds true. And I do try to make my titles as accurate as possible.
Whats with all the mannequins in this game? Like they are literally in every area, it makes no sense.
It's actually a great question. No idea. I have seen it in fair places that don't make sense for them to be there. I would have thought they may have been therefore pre-war but then they also seem too clean. Including ones found in beds with skeletons.
very creamy
Thank you......I think 😃
useful 100%
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
Stopped watching after first two.
Just because it’s unique doesn’t mean it’s good.
Old Faithful (as a sniper setup), Overseer’s Guardian, Spray and Pray, and Pickman’s Blade are the game breakers IMO.
All available early, all will absolutely shred early to midgame enemies.
(Edited, confused old faithful and old reliable, which is good but takes a while to get because it’s in Far Harbor, even if early in the DLC).
It's OK not to watch the entire video, many thanks for checking it out and for your comment.
So your title is "weapons that change everything" while then showing weird weapons that are barely used because there is something better.
These are a solid set of early weapons that can change the course of the game for most players.....well I think so anyway.
@@TrappedInFallout I played a long time ago and started the game back up and that is when I found my old account that I was just messing around in had Overseers Guardian. Love that rifle and after I got enough ammo, I went after it early on in my new start
I got lucky and found the wastelander pretty early. 50% limb damage. Running around the Commonwealth just creating cripples. Your a cripple...and your a cripple.
You have to remember, most of these videos are not for seasoned veterans of the game.
Actually, some of the weapons can be very effective in certain specific circumstances; for example, the Crippling Wrench BIG JIM could allow you to cheese certain fights against powerful melee enemies. In Concord, I've actually used Big Jim to attack, and cripple, the Deathclaw that pops out from the sewers; yes, I waited until it was distracted by a Raider, at which point I ran in close, took one or two swipes with Jim, then ran back to safety. When you see a feared Deathclaw belly-down, completely unable to attack you, you appreciate Big Jim.
I found 3 of those nuke launchers and I have 6 mini nukes I'm level 9 I also have three missile launchers.
Nice one. It's rather easy to stock up on a number of the weapons shown in this video at a relatively low level.
@@TrappedInFallout dude these videos have helped so much because of these videos
Overseer's Guardian is FAR more powerful as an automatic, than it is as a sniper. Extra damage does more extra damage, when you fire more times. Anything that gives a flat amount of bonus damage, you want to do it more often, in any RPG.
I think so too. I personally love the manual approach but I can see how damaging an automatic Guardian can be.
@@TrappedInFallout There is also the accuracy issue of that weapon. I think there is some hidden math on the automatic weapons in VATS. They say they are less accurate in the display, but they seem to never miss, so long as you are in range. It's like you are getting three chances to hit, with the three round burst.
It would be a blast indeed if it wasn't always broken... Sorry needed to complain
No that's OK. I'm lucky enough that the weapons in this list are working on my side and it sucks the it does not work for everyone.
Hey Dude.
Instead of saying 10 m m.
Try 10mil.
Thanks so much for that, I've been saying it wrong then lol. I appreciate that.
@@TrappedInFallout Well yes.. mm stand for Millimetre so the slang way is just to say 'Mil'
Bro you need to lay off the "what you want to do is" and "go ahead and"
I agree, it's phrases I've been saying all my life and I am working on it and trying to limit/remove them from my everyday vocab. Suffice to say its been very hard but I am trying. Thanks for you feedback, much appreciated.
@@TrappedInFallout no biggie bruh!
