Low damage?

[Fox]

I feel like i am doing hardly any damage

Im playing on survival (which i know is supposed to be almost impossible) i have a fully upgraded combat rife and the perk that gives you %100 extra non automatic rifle damage but it takes like 100+ shots to kill anything other than a rad roach is it just me or am i missing something?

I also noticed that survival mode is kinda hard xD to the point that it's not even fun :/ I like challenge but.. NOPE!

Would be better if the difficulty would do other things than just lower your damage and rais enemy's damage. Like more enemy's, higher prices and less ammo, more random encounters and stuff like that O.o

yep survival sucks, i love hardcore mods and modes but i actually play on easy and debuff my health to 50 to make gunplay less spongy

I downloaded a mod that removes the 50% damage penalty from the player. Much more fair this way.

Survival mode reduces your damage by 50% )while increasing the damage resistance of enemies) and boosting *their* damage by 200%

Bethesda is notorious for this kind of artificial difficulty.

I just use a mod that sets the damage caps/buffs the same as vanilla while keeping everything else about Survival.

Sounds good :D don't think I go back to survival tho O.O it just does not change game enough... Although dying quicker makes sense xD

Think there will be difficulty overhault among the first mods. Maybe then survival is worth playing :)

Are combat rifles really non-automatic? o.O

Such a lame ass way to add difficulty.

It's more fun for sure. I don't mind getting killed alot, but I cannot stand shooting a raider in the face with a shotgun at point blank without it dying.

I'm playing on Normal and still relativly early in. But people wearing dirty army ftigues and a few scraps of leather are tanking lots of Explosive pipe rifle shots. Even multiple headshots (sweet I crippled their head in two shots-oh they still have most of their health bar

I admit I have no weapon perks, because I am focusing on other things. However I'm grabbing gunsmithing. So I have a modified with a "powerful" reviver pipe rifle dropped from a legendary synth that deals 15 explosive damage on hit (so, 19+15 explode = 31?) and I thought I'd be all set for casual combat.

But nope. I'm fighting people wearing T-shirts wielding security batons that can tank a good amount of them. The few super mutants I fought died about as fast as those "Gunner" people.

Overgrown (non baby) Mosquitos are tanking mutliple modified double barrel shotgun shots too. "There, I gave it a damage upgrade reciver and a long barrel so it's almost 70 damage now... oh I guess that's just kinda okay damage then? At least my vats 95% aim at the torso didn't miss"

stealth headshots with my .308 sinper rifle are just kind of inconveniencing these people as if I shot them normally. But sneaky shots with my modified 10mm pistol will drop generic raiders with a shot to the head.

Im so glad there was that bit of road guard rail to break the AI of that bear I fought by a campsite. Lost track of how many times I shot them with my "as upgraded as rank1 gunsmithing can make it" shotgun before it died, long after I crippled it's head nearly instantly.

Crippling enemy parts doesn't seem to really inconvenicence them all that much. "Hah, I crippled his head! with exploding bullets! oh he's still not missing me with his laser pistol at all. maybe if I cripple his gun arm... no, still shooting me okay then"

Maybe I'm running into invisible level differences? I've mostly been traveling east, still at the north end of the map in my random wandering and procrastinating from heading to Diamond City.

But it's always a bit odd when Guy In filthy T-shirt and scraps of leather A, is vastly less durable than "Guy in filty T-shirt and scraps of leather, but he's named Gunner instead of Raider" B
