When deciding on what to use, it’s important to pick guns or melee weapons that fit your playstyle. If you’re focusing on close quarters combat make sure to the Shotgunner perk to buff your shotgun’s damage. Balancing your perks, weapons, and playstyle is critical to developing a strong Vault Dweller in Fallout 76. Make sure to always consider how your character can benefit from the different weapons you find.
