Alot the more int you have the more xp you'll end up getting. You can get way over 15 int with armor sets / mutations / chems. Some people can easily hit well over 40++. 99 Will be the max on any build

does anyone know of a decent int build?

iirc 1 INT = +2% EXP

It depends on your build / play style. I mean you can look up many builds out there, but I would highly recommend to make a build to your play style. It be pointless to have int build if your not going use mutations, or bother with V.A.Ts

Here a auto rifle blood build example > link [nukesdragons.com]

I used to hold that, my 1xxx+ friends told me that its always been 3% and the math was redone proving that

As for the cap... I think with everything accounted for high 8x's is the most you can get

15 base + 4 team + 15 unyielding + 5 armour with +1int also + Live and Love 3 + Brain Blast (11.5?) + Drugs (+5?) + bobblehead+2 + night person (+2?) + ???

57 there and I know it isn't to hard to go higher + 2 herd mentality + various int mutations (and no negative ones) + stronger mutations when teammates have them is probably 70

i have a character build for my main toon but i want to try an int build (a play style im not used to)

[Ben O Ver]

Most int builds rely on heavy mutations / chems to work. Also want make sure you end up on team with strange in numbers is shared, "Positive mutation effects are 25% stronger if teammates are mutated too."

I run a power armor intelligence build it's very fun but time consuming cause I had to hunt for basically every mutation cause I wanted to run a xmen intelligence build

INT builds are for PA tank builds

Yeah, those still exist. Depends on what build you want to go, though. Anti-Armor is useful against stuff like Scorchbeasts, but most people opt for extra damage through Bloodied or Junky.

I haven't tested Explosive myself, but I've heard mixed things about it. Apparently, the bonus damage is directly affected by the distance of where your aiming Vs. the target's feet, and the game calculates your damage with severe diminishing returns based on that distance, and the damage itself applies to areas "around" your initial shot.

Headshots do supposedly extremely low "bonus damage" with Explosive (the bonus provided by the ability is calculated as 20% of the "Base Attack" of the weapon, by the way), because of how far away the head is from the feet. Some people swear by Explosive weapons, but from what I've gathered from reputable YouTubers like Angry Turtle, their better off on rapid fire weapons while aiming at the torso.

If your talking about The Fixer or automatic Rifles, then Explosive should be fine, but I don't think it would work well on a Hunting Rifle or Lever Action Rifle.

Pretty much what happened was

-Legacy two shot was 100% damage x2 with accuracy loss
-Legacy explosive was 100% (and you could get 100% more from perk cards which is changed to 'only' 60% more)
-Current two shot is 62.5% x2 with accuracy loss
-Current explosive is 20% (and you can get 60% more from perk cards)
-Currently energy weapons cannot get explosive anymore, so two shot explosive telsa rifles don't exist anymore, but you can get legacy ones
-Currently the rule of thumb is all conventional ammo weapons (bullets) can have explosive
-Currently some weapons (eg. tesla) have had mods removed from the active pool, so the only way to get a gun modded (in this case with electrical traps) is to get a legacy one that someone put the mod on [and generally those mods were considered inferior and not commonly used so seeing them now is ultra rare]

You CAN trade for legacy weapons that have energy + explosive or that have the 100%/100% damage on them, but you cannot obtain them from drops or events anymore

are fusion cores harder to get or can you still farm them easily?
