Question about the Junkie Legendary effect.

[Bahzero]

How decent would this be for a survival run, I've come across a Junkie Western Revovler.

On the Wiki it says + 165% dmg with 11 addictions. Whatever that means. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Legendary_weapon_effects
Junkie for me is one of the many many legendaries which immediately go to the next vendor. The only I use actually are explosive, wounding or freezing on automatics, two-shot or instigating on semi-autos and staggering on melee.

Well, since Junkie's modifier provides damage bonus the more addictions you have, you must consider if having addiction induced debuffs compensates for a higher multiplier in the damage output of your character, based on your current build.

welp I just leveled gunslinger max and compared the dmg between a VATS Western Revovler and the Junkie Western Revolver, the non junkie maxed out and 240dmg with no andrenaline and the Junkie Revolver jumped up to 300dmg with only 2 addiction debuffs without adrenaline.

Try 12 addiction debufg effects.
It’ll be 646dmg.
