Double-muscled multiple-legged mutant would get there eventually. Hopefully heavier throwing weapons have better damage/penetration?

You'd rarely have much ammunition, though.

12 base pv 3d10+3 damage
I don't think you can mod them but maybe i can add the 2x weight reduction mods to it and make it like 80% lighter? maybe it won't ever break leaving me with no need for ammo. Oh boy what a dream.

You'll need to grind a lot of spheres of negative weight just to be able to carry one boulder around even if you have high STR and therefore high carry capacity.

hmm i was thinking of spheres of negative weight too. Such lofty goals

Just played around with it for a few minutes, very possible.

At character creation pump strength to 24, pick up double-muscled and multiple-legs, and pick marauder or warden.

By level 6 between the 2 strength from level ups, and the strength + carry weight from mutations; you should have around 550 carry weight which is enough for your boulder of choice and some armor.

I made a True Kin who auto hits with the large boulders, so he just picks them up and hurls them to squash snapjaws

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...

If only you could roll a boulder down stairwells... :D

I think i am going to have to work towards this dream

So....if we really want to optimize this, let's see....

Start with a high strength Chimera mutant. Double-Muscled and Four-Legged are a must. Rapidly advance double muscled whenever possible. Get tinkering during your early levels.

As a chimera you'll be hoping for extra hands so that you can wear multiple pairs of gesticulating ulnar stimulators. (+3 STR per pair) Wear gesticulating power armor as well. (+4 Strength) or any backpack. Each point of strength is 15 pounds of weight, whereas load-bearing equipment gives you a +% to carrying capacity.

If you find a relic for any other body part that grants +STR polygel duplicates of it.

If playing hearthfyre you COULD simply carry a handcart , but mind the malus to your movespeed.

If you can mod them, you could fit them with suspensors to reduce weight to zero, although that would be a bit absurd and would require Tinkering III.

this is potentially helpful also. Fingers crossed that i can mod a boulder lo, this run is going to be amazing

this is a tempting idea too with that starting mod that gives 100% accuracy to throw
