Why Are Bloodied Builds So Popular Despite Being So Useless?

[Goodyear]

I don't see the point in being at 25% health just to get 10 more points of DR. Why exactly are there so many people running these builds? Not only do I deal more damage, but I also survive longer because I run at full health.

i enjoy the bloody overeaters pa lifestyle. fully irradiated and mutated. washed over with the warm embrace of atom. the rivers run red indeed.

Like steam mods have nothing better to do than closing topics that don´t violate any rule...

Maybe you should stick to your gourmand/nocturnal build full health. Unyielding wouldn't do great for you it seems. Jokes aside, unyielding gives so many special stats, it is well worth being bloodied. And bloodied done correctly is very tanky. Personally I have only legendary stat perk cards. With a high int, it is so much easier to get rank 100 fast. Because you will simply get more exp compared to the full health builds. Or the powerarmor variant of bloodied. What I've never understood is people using powerarmor on a bloodied, yes you get more damage, but you lose out on those extra stats. Unyielding is the way.

And besides, I rarely die anyhow, as bloodied done correctly is way tankier than a full health build. More of a skill issue and build issue, if you need full health to survive.

bloodied builds don't just use bloodied weapons, they also use unyielding armor and other perks/armor mods which reward low hp/high rads

I am playing full health and i only die if i don´t pay attention. Heck even when i wanted to die so my buddy could revive me in the water for the opposum quests, the scorched died before me due to armor perks on my BOS recon armor reflecting melee.

It´s not like bloodied is the only way to not die. Game is easy. Bloodied has a ton of other advantages but is basically easy mode regarding that.

10% DR??
90% for bloodied weapon, 95% if yo are -5% hp, dodgy, ricochet, serendipity and can continue ....

I play ultimate lazy full health, and when I die it's generally because I've caught myself in my own explosive fire. I don't do buffs or micro-manage anything, if I remember to keep my food/drink topped off it's a good day - and I have no problem laying waste to everything, and can solo end-game bosses they just take longer, I guess? I mean, it's not *fun* to solo an EGBoss, and I despise spongey enemies as a hard rule (poor game design IMO), but I can do it if I have to.

I can't imagine bloodied, or any of the builds where people go full Angry Turtle with a dozen food buffs, and rotate through a dozen god roll legendaries shot after shot to max DoT, etc... fock that - that sounds like work. I'm here to chill and play games.

The only real downside to dying is sometimes you have to respawn a short walk away - so annoying.

Bloodied has the highest base damage bonus and the condition is simple, you have to be low health. Thats better than instigating where you have 100% dmg bonus but you only have 1 hit. Bloodied you can go all day with 95% bonus. Thats just the legendary status alone.

It is not just 10DR, you definitely have it all wrong.

dont forget unyielding armor full set or edangerol or infinite things you can do 🤪 SBQ takes 964~1120 critical damage every 2 shots of 512 normal damage with railway rifle

Imagine making a game where you can't destroy a female robot with 6 NUCLEAR MINES, barely puts a scratch on it's health bar.

I'm pointing the finger at you Sheepsquatch ImposterBot.

What kind of sick twisted freak designed this game? 'Bloodied Build'? You call having to acquire all of that crap a 'build'? I calls it an OCD ADHD nightmare.

The calculations, must be precise.....(GTFO)

Card collecting, Legendary gear collecting (Unyielding Armor), leveling? The shopping list for such a build, the requirements to do it right are insane. Not to mention it makes the game look moronically difficult for the average player.

Oh no, you have to be a 'special' player to build a bloodied build, a persevering player, preferably a Fallout 1st Player.

At level 91, coupled with the fact I couldn't kill a stupid Assaultron Robot wearing a sheep costume with every weapon in my arsenal (all 3 star legendaries) 32 baseball grenade, 10 nukagrenades, 10 plasma grenades and later 6 NUCLEAR MINES.

Barely put a dent in it.

NOW....I'm hearing rumors that this 24 Gigabyte patch both giveth and taketh away.

Yeah, we're getting a new region, 'free DLC' but now the 'Free To Play' (I paid for this game already), players can only reach level 150.

When I paid for the game I could go to level 500, so wtf is the deal with Bethesda? What if they suddenly decide to monetize Starfield and limit everyone's level after adding a new 'Free DLC'? Imagine the outcry at that?

The disgusting greed and hubris of Bethesda astounds me.

I'll make a deal with them, they can keep their 'Free DLC' and I can play for 'free' (how about a refund so I can truly be classified as a 'free to play player'?", then I can continue to level to 500.

Here's my take on this: This game is WAY TOO EASY.

Going bloodied increased the risk (and the reward) and makes player input actually matter because you can actually get killed during Daily Ops and boss fights.

So you get the thrill of having to be careful and plan fights out AND the reward of increased offensive power.

I mean who cares i've done bloodied it was fun for like a week, playing a teletubbies game was harder than playing bloodied, but i respect the sweaty nature of it for min/max players, just play what you enjoy, and don't be a cry baby over what others enjoy build wise

[0Tempest]

can you 2shot super mutants consistantly? bloodied builds can. their glass cannons. we have damage mitigation but can still die easly. but we also kill things faster tan any other build
