question about the dragon

[Uncanny Moskvich]

does each bullet do the base damage or is that all of the bullets combined?

[Eriskumma]

Pip-boy's base damage is all bullets combined. If used in vats you only see damage from one projectile, real damage is 4x that. (5x if using Two Shot)

[Seithan]

Great weapon but at 10s reload (buffed) , its extremely underwhelming.

Is it possible to legitimately get Quad on it? I think I once saw someone with that (although it kind of looked like he could fire five shots or more without reloading).

None of the black powder guns can have quad. There was an exploitable glitch that allowed Dragons to have more ammo in "mag" but AFAIK it got fixed, they still can glitch a bit and occasionally you get 2 shots without reload.

Instigating on the dragon is pretty sweet.

Absolutely. I have an original Dragon with instigating/explosive. I wish it had a scope.

Dragons overall are slightly underrated weapons.

Put two or more on your weapon wheel and you can take down any small group quite well just remember once they all dead to reload all of them.

Yeah it was fixed. But yeah since more updates came to the game its back in the game didn't stay patched for very long. So yeah people can have a dragon with like 100+ shots with no reloading once again. Same with most weapons in the game.

How? The old ways don't work.

Well there has been few ways to do over the years so i don't know exactly what you would consider the old way as there has been quite few tricks to perform it.

I personally don't want to be the one who makes many users run around with no reloading weapons by spreading the info around, even more so that people will soon be likely to do this ammo glitch lot more with legacy on the way out not long from now. But the ways to do it can be found on youtube quite easy well if you know how to at least use the YouTube filters or looking on the right fallout 76 discord severs. The patch only worked for about 2-3 months and then we found out we can glitch the ammo once again.

Love the black powder weapons in this game but sometimes I feel like they need a perk just for them. That way they can justify better reloads and not break balance. Till then I'll stick with my instigating vats bonus one and pray for one taps.

All multi shot weapons go

Damage / Number of shots

this is why two shot on a shotgun is very bad, and all multi shot weapons is mediocre

Total damage ex. 100 / 8 = 100 / 9

That should be changed, I think. And the one-handed blunderbuss pistol should be a shotgun too.

All the BP guns are worthless.
