Bloodied Fixer vs Bloodied Handmade?

[Salem Graves]

Also got 50% limb damage and Faster reload on the fixer, 50% bash damage and +1 agi on the Handmade. Which do you guys like better? I've been using the handmade because I don't stealth, would I be insane to remove the suppressor from the fixer? xD It increases range right at the cost of stealth? Which I don't do? I assume I should stick with the handmade since I don't stealth. Also the main reason I don't stealth is because I can't figure out how to work the perks into my VATS build currently and I don't want half my build to be useless during most events.

Fixer makes slightly more damage and uses a bit less action points but Handmade is more accurate. In the end both use about the same amount of rounds and AP to kill enemies. If you don't use stealth just take off the suppressor, nothing wrong in doing so and you can always craft a new one if needed.

Out of these two? Definitely the Fixer.

But both are kinda meh and can be completely overshadowed by Quad railway rifle, for a whole lot of reasons. PLUS... Since the update is just around the corner (aka tomorrow from writing this post), there will be a quest-rewarded Bloodied Railway Rifle that also comes with an innate/hidden DUAL mag size. So it's half the Quad benefits, but also being Bloodied too, for extra damage. And not to mention the other two modifiers that it comes with, since it's 3-star... Just wait a little bit and you'll see that weapon being all over the "meta". Outperforming all of the possible Fixers, Handmades or even regular Railway Rifles too.

I know and I plan to get that + the Tesla Rifle that's coming. My current loadout consists of a Railway + Handmade + Tesla. Railway for power against bosses and such, I like the Handmade because I feel it's more versatile and I can aim down sights if I can't use vats for whatever reason and the Tesla for event tagging.

I personally enjoy the Handmade more for everyday use than the Railway, a little more satisfying than a modified train whistle in my opinion xD

Just started the video and doesn't the FFR on the Fixer give it an unfair advantage?

Edit: Nevermind, I see you're comparing damage numbers! I shall give the fixer a go once I figure out what mods I want on it.

Why? They each shoot 25 bullets dont they? The Fixer with ffr just shoots them a little faster, but that dosnt affect the overall 1 bullet to bullet damage.

EDIT: Right now on several servers FFR on vats weapons are actually a bad idea as servers wont register several of the shots, i show this in an upcomming video on the 13th June.

Yeah I thought you were comparing the guns as a whole but I see you're just comparing damage numbers, myyy bad.
