Factions

In my playthrough using this build I sided with the Railroad, however I believe the Brotherhood of Steel would also be a great faction to play with using this build.

Companions

Deacon and Dogmeat are really the only companions I would consider using with this build, specifically because of the Lone Wanderer perk. Overall, run without a companion if you're comfortable with that.

This build feels like a troll

Machineguns and Miniguns rebirth are great mods if you want to do a heavy gunner build

WHERES YOUR POWER ARMOR?

[runestyr]

If you like heavy guns, try the mod that lets you salvage a sentry bot minigun when you kill a sentry bot. It can be chambered in .38., 5.56, .308 or 12 gauge, depending on your ammo supply. Note that the mod does require Idiot Savant, but a few minutes in the CK can fix that. I love putting the Explosive legendary on miniguns (you'd need the mod for craftable legendaries), for mowing down groups of ferals. Or use Two Shot for miniguns that your followers will use, because followers can't be trusted with anything explosive.

Also remember, only the author of a thread can delete stupid irrelevant posts such as Doge or Bob the skeleton. The rest of us can only "hide and report" those posts.
