First of all, almost every object you’ll find in the game may be used without any restrictions.

The only real exception to this rule are power armors.

This doesn’t apply to big guns or energy weapons and obviously you should use them from the start.

Here’s a short list of most useful armors and guns from each major category.

Aminigunis best in dealing with large groups of enemy soldiers, but it swallows the ammunition very fast.

Arocket launchershould be used for more precise shots.

PC

Finally we have afatman.

verify to preserve ammunition for this weapon, because there aren’t too many mininukes in the game world.

I would recommend using the fatman only to take down large groups of supermutants and to kill behemoths.

PC

Energy weapons- In this case only one weapon is worth your attention and that’s aplasma rifle.

One of the best plasma rifles can be acquired upon completion of The replicated man quest.

Small guns- This is definitely the largest category.

PC

There are a lot of interesting guns here, created for characters of different specializations.

If you prefer to attack your enemies from a distance, consider choosingchinese assault rifles,hunting riflesandsniper rifles.

Unarmed combat- Sadly you won’t be given a large choice of weapons for unarmed combat.

PC

There are a few types ofknucklesin the game.

Don’t bother using them unless you’ve found a unique weapon.

Explosives- My favorites in this category arefrag grenadesandlandmines, because there are tons of them in the Capitol wasteland.

PC

check that that you’re not carrying too many of them.

Usepulse grenadesandEM minesto destroy enemy robots.

There are alsoplasma grenades, but they’re expensive and rare, so you may as well ignore them.

PlayStation

Armors- I would recommend that you have two armors at your disposal at all times.

A stronger armor should be used during the battles.

Here you’re free to choose between models used by Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel.

Xbox

but there are also a few unique power armors.

As for the secondary armor, you should take aprotection suitwith you.

They may come in handy while trying to get to an irradiated area of the map.
