Unarmed/ Melee hybrid Explosive build.
l am aware anything is possible in this game. However, given your experience, would you say it is possible to such a build? Any comments on that?
Use explosive for big targets or crucial ones and the other for most encounters.

Ive tried this but its not possible to Min-Max if youre into that. For Unarmed youll need Endurance, For explosives you want Strength and Perception.

Sure, as you said yourself everything is possible.
I'm currently doing an unarmed build and for some perks it basically requires me to max out melee weapons as well. Despite this I've had more points to spend than I really need for a while now, even tho I still have 12 lvl left before I reach lvl 50.

So yeah, absolutely possible, unless you want to min-max the crap out of it, in which case you may want to decide to go with melee only, as unarmed combat improves with endurance, not strenght, and explosive weaponry tends to require good strenght to be wielded correctly.

attributes dont matter for skills only int does. since high int lets you max out every skill.

it just doesnt make a ton of sense generally you pick 1 combat skill unless youre going for a perk. But it only matters if youre playing highest difficulty.

So being hybrid hurts you unless the skills co-exist. Well, l am only playing normal or hard, with hardcore mode(always). Perhaps being hybrid hurts unless you know anything else?

It's ok, but really not as much fun as I thought. Explosives are also bit underwhelming imo

Unarmed and explosives is one of the most powerful combat builds you can do, and really fun. There's a unique GRA ballistic fist that was made specifically for it, and because fist of the north star is eternal.

The key component is to remember that the game has physics, and that most areas in the world aren't flat surfaces. Preempt combats by throwing microfusion clusters around corners, in front of the enemy, into their escape path, and so on, roll time bombs and bottlecap mines down slopes, etc.

The ultimate solution to any problem is the fat mine, which you can tank if you min-max damage resistances, but nothing else in the game can, and one detonating usually sets off everything else you've thrown out, which makes for great screenshots.

The only 'guns' of interest for this playstyle are the red glare, 25mm APW, and GRA version of the fat man.
