Everything has been nerfed into the ground!

[Matticus]

Coming back to the game after a LONG time away... Pretty much every weapon I have has been nerfed into oblivion!

I realize these things need to happen for balance reasons, but holy hell, it definitely makes me want to just turn the game off and do something else.

Two shot explosive handmade rifle is now a turd
Two shot explosive .50MG is useless
Two shot explosive plasma Gatling is now a green flamethrower?

Those are obviously just the TSE items.. but yeesh...

Everything has been made better. You are the kind of player we do not want, it is boring for boss events to end in less than a second because people use legacy items to instakill what is meant to be a challenging fight. If you don't want to play a balanced easy game, go find a different completely broken game to exploit.

Do play since day one, yes explosive weapons have less damage then the old times but... ther are tons of good weapons now all depends on you build and the weapon Legendary roll.

This game is a Glorified Phone App. The entire game is set to Games Journalist Difficulty now..

Bloodied hasn't been nerfed enough or Juggernaut hasn't been buffed enough to = the damage bloodied can do since there is no gear that does what unyielding does in a positive way.

Its the only Fallout content which will see any development for the next 10 years, and I am a Fallout fan.

The nerf was needed, even for the legacy removal. They can't balance the game in the future if they didn't nerf them. I lost 8 legacy weapons, even a BE25 fixer got removed, maybe the stats was created with a cheat tool before.

Their only concept of balance is making things more spongy.. If you lost items in the purge they were deemed to have been hacked. Simple As.

Some legendries I looted myself like the TSE gatling plasma, it got the explosion effect removed. For the fixer, I trade 3 top tier weapons for it, but the guy who sold it had weapon with perfect stats and it was likely a cheat item since it lost the bloodied stats. All the other weapons with perfect stats I still got.

The cremator got nerfed in the pts.

I wish they remove VATS and add realistic damage, meaning you can one shot ghoul if you hit it in the head (with proper aiming without VATS), but also a ghoul can rip you apart easily if it manages to come close. Right now I can stand in the middle of the pack of feral ghouls doing nothing and still kill em with my armor "magical" effects. For you complaining that weapons are "turd" after all buffs to players and nerfs to enemies is quite funny.

All this is already a thing. +25% while aiming is a thing for a reason. If not 'Armored' a pack of ghouls will rip you apart in close combat.
