[SOLVED] which damage perk affects Plasma Throwers?

[Alucard †]

title^
before i blindly invest into heavy weapons (i assume since flamer benefits from heavy weapons perk and plasma throwers function similar to a flamer)

i want to know for sure

EDIT: Rifleman does ... Rifleman increases Plasma Flamethrower damage lol

Save. Unlock rank 1 of heavy perk. if it goes up continue on, if it doesn't reload and try another.

That works, if you have enough Special for the perk you want to try. If you need to level up a special stat first 2 levels before you get to try, its not as easy as you make it sound!

Well you should probably at least have access to commando/gunslinger(I think? the pistol one) and rifleman, they're all pretty early on, so even if you don't have access to big guns you can try those and if none of them increase the damage it's either heavy or none.

Alright i slayed few super mutants and leveled up didnt have much xp remaining till next level and i'm speechless
you know what perk increases plasma flamethrower damage?

Rifleman (semi auto rifle damage perk) ... oh Bethesda :))))
Heavy Gunner dosent even affect it .. just the Rifleman

i knew it was suspicious that it had such high damage without a single perk point in Gunner

The plasma gun ( thrower ) is a heavy weapon. When you attach the flame barrel mod to the plasma gun it becomes a heavy weapon.

Yeah I was looking at the prima guide and it says it's a heavy weapon but I checked the wiki and it says that it can be ethier a pistol or a rifle depending on if you use a grip or stock. So it should work with gunslinger also if you use a pistol grip.

its funny i wonder if its soposed to be like this or its a glitch

i think it counts as non automatic. because i had points in the non-automatic pistol perk. and changing my plasma flamer to a plasma pistol flamer increased it's damage.

So what are the pip guns classed as then since you can chance them form a pistol to a sniper and or a semi auto depending on what mods you use at the time..

Have not even put a single point into any wep skill as of yet because of this

Bought a plasma pistol and turned it into a plasma sniper rifle..

would it get the bonus from the pistol skill and the rifle skill.. or just the one, I would guess the one since its now a plasma rifle.. this damned crap confuses me and it shouldnt really lol

Next lvl up I am going to have to screw around with all this myself and see what happens with a few diff guns I have modded since I havent place any points into any wep skill as of yet lol

They are classified as whatever stock/reciever combo they are equipped with at the time.

plasma thrower is pretty hilarious
it's like a flamer
except ammo is less rare (plasma ammo is rare, yes, but flamer ammo is just ridiculously rare), it deals more damage and it has more range
why is flamer even in the game

actualy i just hop around vendors and sell my stockpile of purified watters and i have 600 flamer ammo dialy that way

however gamma cells are pretty rare and pricy
but yeah i agree an flamethrower with armor penetration and ballistic damage (rifle stock plasma thrower) that's just crazy op
