Honest hearts

[SØNNE]

Imma gonna do the honest hearts DLC first, and because of the weight cap ( and i'm on hardcore ) i'm stressing what kind of weapons to bring. i have the choice of the 50. cal sniper, All-american or medicine stick, don't tell me to bring all of them.

Don't bother bringing any.
There's a duffel bag with guns and other supplies right out of the gate

As mentioned you don't really need any.
Though taking either Medicine Stick or All American will ease the start of the DLC a little.

If theres anything I would advise taking it would be your favourite pistol calibre SMG as high DPS and JHP rounds combine to dominate Zion Canyon (as well as being useful almost anywhere).

Though theres plenty of great guns to be found there, I would rank the .45 auto pistol (which you find extremely early), .45 SMG and Survivalist Rifle amoing the best weapons in the game.
If your at a high level the human enemies will have top tier weapons for you to pick from.

Take a generic weapon with light ammo and decent range capability, and mid-long range is the only range that you will have trouble with at the start of the DLC, as you can get a .45 SMG at the beginning and you can buy a .45 Pistol (and the mods for both) from a Very Important Person. The Survivalist's Rifle is hidden in a place by a bag and a corpse and is extremely powerful, but the ironsights are bent and the ammo is rare (12.7mm).

You don't really need any guns, you'll get a lot of useful guns in honest hearts

HH can support player in both gun and melee style but not that good for energy weapon build. So prepare your gear to the remote area with no shop. But you can loot a bunch of gear there. Many heavy-light firearms or fire sword from the white legs, Graham's gun shop, Crafting unique item.

1911 pistol and ammo can purchase from Graham and Survivalist Rifle is a good unique weapon for gun build.

War club with mod make it hit harder and faster is pretty nice. Fire sword and Bear/Deathclaws weapon are also good unique weapon in dlc for melee lover.

So at least bring 1 for your handy gun and a grab of ammo to survive the first few round of encounter. Reach the Dead horse tribe and you will be fine. I personally advice your choise, Medicine stick since it has a real kill per shot and not waste ammo too much. But Imo, I'd bring more 12.7mm ammo with Li'l Devil at first because it share ammo with Survivalist Rifle. I use them until I gain Graham's perk and then switch to 1911.

Actually what's stupidly good in this DLC is just a good old 9mm SMG. The enemies have like no DT at all and the grease gun and ammo weigh next to nothing.
