Generic Raid Build Alpha - Since I see people struggling

[Phantom]

Power Armour = Union

1* Troubleshooters OR Overeaters (Phase 1 being the only real concern for incoming damage)
2* Poisoners OR +2 Endurance (you want to ramp poison resist up for Phase 4 and 5)
3* Thru - Hikers (sentinel is still bugged, and damage isn't a concern, so free up the 3 strength perks for traveling pharmacy and 2 endurance perks for thru-hiker)
4* Rejuvenation (+hp and ap regen to team) OR Rangers (+25% damage self) or Tankys (+1000 ballistic and energy resist to self 50% of the time... again incoming damage isn't a concern)

Recommended
Troubleshooters
Poisoners
Thru-Hikers
Rejuvenation
Why?
Immunity to damage, immunity to poison (300 + 150 + 125 = 575 base poison + endurance bonus of 44+ for over 600), passive group HP and AP regen


Weapon = Gauss Minigun
1* Anti Armour
2* Weapon Speed OR Explosive OR Vats Critical
3* Vats AP cost
4* Conductors (5% ap returned on hit) OR Polished (60% damage)

Recommended
Anti Armour
Weapon Speed
Vats AP cost
Conductors
Why?
High damage output, Vats AP cost was reduced from 30 to 14, ap cost brings it to 11.2, conductors regenerates 20++ ap per hit, you crit every other hit, Rejuvenation on armour gives you constant passive ap regen all told = infinite vats machine

Builder is broken for mutations on this one but add in
(things in brackets are not recommended but often used)

Adrenal Reaction
Bird Bones
Eagle Eyes
(Egg Head if serum, and mostly because a lot of you will multipurpose this with an int exp build)
(Empath with serum if used, its not needed for damage reduction but is a frequently run mutation)
(Healing Factor with serum if used - with its rich history of being bugged I avoid this like the plague and don't use it)
Herbivore
Herd Mentality
Marsupial
(Scaly Skin again use a serum, only on here because again this fits multipurpose)
Speed Demon - a serum is recommended to reduce food consumption or just fill up before the snake section


Then the generic food recommendations for herbivores

-Blight Soup (high 125% critical damage)
-Tato Soup (minor poison resistance) OR Cave Fungus Soup (minor poison resistance)
-Infused soot flower tea (major ap boost) OR Tato Juice (minor ap boost) or Simple Sootflower Tea (minor ap boost)
-Gourd Soup (some vats accuracy)
-Company Tea (high ap regen)
-Silt Bean Soup (minor endurance boost)
-Chew Stick (minor luck)
-Pumpkin Pie (major health increase) OR Tato Salad (minor HP increase)
-Swamp Tofu (minor hp regen) or Sweet Tato Stew (minor hp regen)
-Mutafruit Juice (minor agility)
If you wanna go real crazy take a herbivore serum and eat some carnivore stuff that is slightly better for some of these


The other buffs
Psychobuff - Damage +25%, STR +3, END +3, Max HP +65
Bobblehead - Big Guns (kinda rare) 20% damage
Tesla 9 - 100% crit damage


Naturally lunchboxes, scouts if possible, and as many camp buff items as you can


Now obviously you don't need to go hard on the food, or drugs, or temp buffs

When its all said and done

You are looking at
Effectively FULL Physical ballistic immunity
Effectively FULL Physical energy immunity
Fire damage mitigation (its barely used in raids anyway)
FULL Poison damage immunity
Cold damage mitigation (its barely used in raids and only for the slow effect)
Absurdly high DPS, with infinite vats use
Absurdly high mobility
Absurdly high SPECIAL for power armour
Absurdly high health
Very high action points
Absurdly fast AP regen

And if on further testing taking one for the team doesn't work against mr snake, you gain an extra 5 special to use

When you want to switch to full int / bloodied / unyielding / exp its only missing 9 points of int (4 and 5 over) and has plenty of space to slot your regular armour stuff in

uppies

[thedevilfrog]

the build link takes you to the site, but is empty of your build info

[Exoni]

Looks good cheers ...But lost Interest already

[Dandelion]

i can see that for the first room it might work but for the 2nd one, forget it, it ends up having 12 enemies that can't die and one hit you regardless of your stats

[Mooman]

How is a specific build generic?

[lockwoodx]

I'll buy that for a dollar

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Hell, by the time I get all of that and eat it in the right order and fix the cards and get the Armor-I will be playing Fallout 5.

[AtmaDarkwolf]

I'd love to see a non PA 'base melee but modified for raid' builds too if possible (as in card layouts using typical melee special layouts, which I figure would prob be shotguns or heavy due to high strength and low per)

In that its not a min/max or specific build for someone its just something to consider


Also weapon of choice has changed to the new gatling plasma (it has a couple new mods that break it but they are a pain to get)
