Best rolls for each weapon type and armour

[Arcanix]

Ive seen some threads about this, so i decided to make a thread where we could put all of it in a list of sorts. Save people hassle to find the info.

Its simple. Best rolls for small arm, energy, heavy guns. Full health and bloodied. Any oddball

Like rifle for example. Is it AA, Instigating, Quad, Bloodied. Oddball Berserker, suppressor, stalkers.

If you go to the discord of market76 you will have the same as you are asking, also take in mind depends of the build you want.

PS: And another thing, we dont have any community manager to pin messages, only zenimax workers in hidden profiles to put their news, so, for me is losing my time if i can find it in another place.

Rolls are going to be build and playstyle dependant.

Aim damage for heavies is useful but useless on VATS builds, for example.

Personally I'm an Aristocrat lover. Don't use caps (vendors) and play full health. Any weapon with that first prefix is preferred over anything else. This will vary for other players.

I hate explosive effect so avoid that whereas others love the effect and will collect everything with it.

You have to tailor the gear to you to get the most out of it. Learn what the effects do to make your decisions.

This for what to choose, but it's worth a word to discuss what to avoid - sometimes the RNG will throw things together that work at odds with each other. For example, a 'last-shot' (double damage on the last round of a magazine) doesn't play that well with Quad, since that would quadruple the amount of shooting to get the use out of that star. Another great example would be Furious+Explosive (Furious = extra damage per consecutive strikes on a single target, but Explosive is area effect which would reset the consecutive strike counter), or Vampire on a slow single-shot weapon.

Any other examples?

Two-shot are good on

Rocket Launchers
Grenade Launchers
Auto Grenade Launchers
Miniguns
Gatling Laser
Fatman
LMGs
Flamers
Really fast firing laser rifles and guns. So fast youve got no time to read this.
Gamma Ray guns with a big AoE.

Bad on signle target non automatic guns and pistols. Includes the Gauss guns.

Good points.

Stalkers and medics on anything are garbage. Medic used to be good on shotguns but it was a little known victim of the legacy purge for some reason.

Another bad set - Hitman (+25% dam while aiming) is useless with any of the VATS-enhancement stars.

[Max]

+50% dmg to ghouls or 50% dmg to robots on Gamma gun

Cha but now when we have a question pop up about rolls we can res the thread for em by simply typing "best rolls" into the search. Saves time later :) and I have a lot of information stored so I frequently forget small details and specifics for things deemed unimportant - like what the best roll for an imaginary item in a video game is. (i'll delete this post shortly, sry Arc - and thanks for the post.)
