Their ammo is very easy to recycle and modify, they have high accuracy, are easier to maintain and just pack more of a punch. Simply put, it is just more simple and reliable to use energy weapons in game. After two full playthroughs (DLC included) I'd never bring anti-materiel rifle or other shit like that to DLC areas. The only reason I'd play regular guns in FNV instead of energy weapons with Efficient Recycler/Laser Commander/ect. The holy pistol has double the crit rate, 4 more damage, a significantly faster firing rate, cheaper cost in VATS, is more durability, and even zooms farther when aiming!Ĭlick to expand.Oh, those which eat ammo like hell, right, have fun carrying this stuff when playing Hardcore + Sawyer's mod. The unique variant, A Light Shining in Darkness, is in it's own category. 45 Auto pistol to be an upgraded version of the 9mm Pistol: if you like the 9mm, you'll like the.

It's also a decent choice for sneaky characters. 45 becomes a great choice for using in weapon restricted areas like the casinos.

The mods are a durability increase and a silencer. As for the pistol itself, it's boosted by the Grunt perk (25% damage increase), which is the Army soldier equivalent of the Cowboy perk. You're better off with the +P ammo, which gives a modest 105 damage increase and a -2 DT modifier with the wear rate of only being 20% which is quite manageable. This outrageously high wear rate will limit the use of the Super ammo to just powerful enemies like Deathclaws. The Hand Loader ammo, Super, gives a solid 30% damage increase and a -4 DT modifier but the wear rate increases by 150%. 45 Auto, which is fairly heavy and also quite rare. This semi-automtic pistol is found in the Honest Hearts DLC.
