Rail(g/w)ay rifle

[Alumno Superstes]

..sorrry title, that w was originally typo..I thought to leave it for fun..

But to matter in my right hand..why ppl want to use railway rifle?

It's damn slow to shoot projectiles, and time for a spike takes to fly to target is too long for my taste..every second matter in fight...AT semi auto

Handmade wins it hands down, I have junkie version, semi auto again since I am rifleman..retiring from pure VATS ..saved my life already 3 times.

I know both would rock in auto fire but..doesn't all..but lets leave that topic to another time.

Handmade does less dmg but fires quicker..Dunno if junkie version of railway would do any better, handmade does 146 dmg (junkie) buffed (unbuffed 117)..so about 30dmg, for railway it might be near 200..THAT I would respect maybe...but then again it's still slow.

Low AP per shot as automatic (destined to change), high per shot damage, reasonable fire rate (destined to change), high crit damage due to high base damage.

It is one of the strongest VATS weapons due to those factors. Recoil makes it almost unusable outside of VATS, also destined to change.

It's a stupid weapon with poor design and balance. It was mostly overlooked till the YouTube Muppets promoted it. The sheep followed the leader and flocked to it. Bethesda took far too long to address it (but they are at least showing signs of that now on the PTS).

Seriously I never understood RR phenomen, and now when they gonna nerfed means nothing to me

Never been at an event where 3 or 4 guys with RR´s shoot everything before you even get a chance? That´s how effective it is when you know what you are doing. Annoying af. Nerf is welcome.

I love choo choo but since I cant roll or find a quad its kind of needy. God it decimates (centimates?) legendary big'uns though.
Since I've gone sneak/unyeilding, my AA fixer kills 99% of the game with a few shots. Honestly not sure I need to carry choo choo around but I like the feeling of girth in my hands when staring down a legendary. Maybe its good I haven't found a quad yet as they are apparently nerfing the fun out of it. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bethesda

Understood, future nerfing does sound that I should really drop it..but it only weights 1.5 so,,,I'll test it now and then.

It's VATS feature is awesome. For the one you get from doing Skyline Valley, anyway. Ammo's super-easy to keep up with because all it's made of is steel.

love this thanks for the lols

oh an yeah it is slow, but think weapon speed buff is a popular roll for this for that exact reason

Should be less steel and a bit of oil for quenching imo

There is speed increase at legendary table? That would change things ofc..but need to roll on blank weapon since I do not want to mess with new dlc weapon, since it is super light.

The profile should have been enough not to respond but anyway it seems like the railway rifle has already been nerfed from what I can tell damage wise but of course they might nerf it again.

because the ammo is cheap to craft it also @ PTS they nerf fire rate of railway rifle to balance and able to control it on ADS which is good

That´s not a might. They certainly will decrease fire rate and remove the faster AP regeneration.

At least that´s what the changes for the new Testversion say. Those are never 100% sure to come, but it´s the plan at least.
