Well you are not wrong. These are really OP especially with Nuka World modifications. Top tier choice for melee playthroughs.

I never tried Survival mode . If your looking at mod weapons , The ''FN SCAR'' comes in 5.56 and .308 ammo and semi and full auto . the ''ACR-W17 is basically the same weapon (athough not quite the range ) , semi and full auto modes and even more calibers . Bth are on Nexus .

I get 1 joke, one saying the jokes serious, and one suggesting mods. Come on xDD

Um, I wasn't joking about the Swatter.

But OP it mostly depends on your playstyle too and perks you decide to choose.

These paired with appropriate weapons is what makes it click and turn you into a ultimate killing machine.

True there are few weapons that are trash but anything else ranges from servicable all rounders to overpowered God slaying weapons. Depending on your build.

'survival'. you will die if you aren't a stealth melee build so quickly, especially early game.

What is a stealth melee build? 🤨

[Alucard †]

Non stealth melee runs on survival are fun and challenging while no as brutal as people think. Just play smart early on :P

Counters and melee tackles help a ton. (They only work in 3rd person tho)

imma go with the spray and pray you can buy from cricket.

that is also op'd in regular mode and exploding bullets. Earliest you can get a weapon with explosive bullets.

One can also Beeline later to get the Kilton Radium rifle its better tho slightly slower version of Pray and Spray that also can be fitted for Rifleman playthrough. The radiation damage doesn't have much negative impact vs creatures immune to radiation or creatures that get healed by it cause the ballistic + explosive damage cuts through like through butter regardles.

It also as a bonus occassionally glitches out in terms of automatic mode firerate and fires as fast as a mnigun for as long as you don't save and reload after having this weapon stored in a container or dropped on ground (Tho if you use Unofficial patch this might not even happen)

It can be done. What you do is end up collecting melee weapons for specific enemies. General Chao I think it's called is a nice sword against robots. Kremvh Tooh is fairly good against everything. Atoms Judgement is very slow but can do a frightening amount of damage.

For armor it's pretty much metal armor early on, and power armor as soon as you can.

I've found that the best weapons to have is a combination of something for close up and something for far away. You can go with two guns. A sniper rifle and a shotgun, but I've found a medium sized melee weapon and a long ranged sniper rifle works out nicely.
