Fallout 76 – Heavy Gunner Build
Heavy Gunner Build
The foremost affair we’re going to embrace inwards this Guide is Stats, as well as how they deport on Power Armor Builds. Something many players are non aware of, is that each Stat adds a passive bonus. For example, each indicate of Endurance increases your Max Health yesteryear 5% as well as your Sprinting AP drain is reduced yesteryear 5%. The iii primary Stats you lot quest for a Power Armor Build are: Strength, Intelligence as well as Luck.
Unfortunately none of these Stats, alongside the exception of Strength, actually benefits a Power Armor Build inwards whatsoever straight way. Strength volition increment your Melee Damage if you lot usage Melee Weapons, but the entirely argue these are the Stats you lot quest is because of the Perks you lot gain yesteryear selecting them, which isn’t ideal. Whereas many Builds exercise goodness from the Stats they select, Power Armor Builds actually exercise not, at to the lowest degree non inwards a straight manner. Many of the bonuses you lot gain from these Stats are only prissy to receive got on whatsoever character.
Power Armor Basics
The fun begins when you lot foremost uncovering your foremost laid of Power Armor inwards Fallout 76, as well as you lot receive got to figure out how it “works”. Power Armor is made upwards of vii pieces: the Chasis, Torso, Helmet, Left Arm, Right Arm, Right Leg, as well as Left Leg. Any actor tin usage the Chasis, but the remainder of the pieces are score locked to the specific type of Power Armor it is. This agency that you lot cannot add together actual “Armor” to the Chasis until minimally Level 15, equally that is the lowest score you lot tin usage Raider Power Armor (which is the lowest score Power Armor).
In addition, each Power Armor uses a Fusion Core to Power it, as well as cannot run without one. This agency that you lot quest a steady provide of Fusion Cores thus that you lot tin proceed to operate your Power Armor. You tin uncovering Fusion Cores inwards other suits of Power Armor, you lot tin uncovering them inwards Fusion Core Generators, or you lot tin Craft them. The exact amount of fourth dimension that you lot tin operate Power Armor on 1 Fusion Core is non currently known, but their mightiness is consumed faster yesteryear Sprinting as well as moving about. Estimations arrive at from almost xxx minutes to two hours depending on gameplay. This tin hold upwards increased yesteryear taking the Perk Power User in 1 trial you lot achieve Level 50.
Players wearing Power Armor volition also receive got their Strength automatically increased to eleven on their Stat sheet, although this volition non permit you lot to slot to a greater extent than Perk Cards. It does, however, increment your Melee Damage as well as Carry Weight if you lot receive got less than eleven Strength. Unfortunately many of the best Heavy Guns Perks are inwards Strength, important that this exercise goodness is wasted at afterwards levels of the game (when your Strength is higher than 11) for this Build.
Perks for a Power Armor Build are non overly complicated to choose, but many of them are non unlocked until much afterwards inwards the game. Unfortunately, this agency that you lot volition non actually hold upwards playing a Power Armor “Build” until you lot achieve almost score 30, fifty-fifty if that is your destination from the offset of the game. Since you lot entirely quest 37 Perk Points for this Power Armor efficient Build, I strongly suggest using your early on leveling points to select things that you lot want to play alongside inwards the meantime. This agency for the foremost twenty levels of the game or so, only play how you lot like, making certain to set the bulk of your points into Strength, Intelligence as well as Luck. The skilful tidings though, is that if you lot are already playing the game, as well as you lot desire to “convert” your Build to a Power Armor Build, it is non difficult to do, since at that topographic point is a lot of wiggle room.
