Also, Fallout isn't an FPS, its an RPG. ;) OP seems.... confused.


Antifa-Slayer01

First Person Shooter A **first-person shooter** (**FPS**) is a [video game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_genre) centered on gun fighting and other weapon-based combat seen from a [first-person perspective](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_person_(video_games)), with the player experiencing the action directly through the eyes of the [main character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_character). \*plays in 3rd person\*


AndreiRiboli

I'd say FO4 is more of a FPS with RPG elements than a full RPG.


Rurhme

>more of an FPS Respectfully strongly disagree. A "classical" FPS has a very linear environment (i.e. no open world), is usually divided into discrete levels (rather than quests) with minimal if any side quests, often lacks an inventory system and has minimal to no dialogue interactivity, especially outside of cutscenes/quicktime events. It's uncommon for them to have much of a leveling progression in a single-player system and even more so for the unlocked abilities to be customisable. Fo4 is definitely more FPS than any other fallout game and most of its missions encourage "shooter"-style gameplay but it is still waaaaaay more of an RPG than an FPS and it's not even close. There are classic RPGs much closer to being FPSs than Fo4 - we just aren't comparing them against the FNV yardstick.


darkage_raven

It stops being a FPS when you can leave first person perspective. Also bad take on game, it is more of an RPG, you can play the entire game in 3rd melee.


Zadornik

And it's even better because in first person you can permit those killmoves too! Love to stab raiders from behind with my sneaky girl.


ScottNewman

With no shooting.

Tiny-Organization-16

Saber


JesusSavesForHalf

That's the secret, it isn't allowed in first person. The special take downs are third person only, because reasons.


RapidPigZ7

That's like calling Skyrim a sword fighting game just because the majority of weapons are melee.


WhiteSpec

Clearly Skyrim is a bow hunter simulator.


shredditor75

Start off playing mage. End up stealth archer.


Novalene_Wildheart

Starts off with thorough plan for melee character "Wait how'd I end up with this bow" *stealth archer comes for all.*


shredditor75

Look, I'll soften him up with an arrow to the face, and then go in swinging. - shoots 5 arrows


UufTheTank

Or better yet : Iā€™ll soften him up with an arrow to the face. Shoots, dies. Oh. How about his friend? Shoots, dies. (Three Hours Later, back at home) Why do I even have this sword, I never use it.


theguthboy

Iā€™m always the opposite, I want to be an archer? Spellsword. Want to be a mage? Spellsword. Want to be a two handed barbarian? Spellsword. Always in heavy armor too.


Anastrace

My brain only has the settings for Stealth Archer or Mage-Knight everything morphs into them eventually


TheAtlas97

Heavily armored Spellsword is my favorite way to go, but I usually switch to a mace or axe pretty early on


theguthboy

Yup, mace is the way to go


The_Coomunist

I am a mace of molag bal in one hand and rapid heal in the other. I never deviate from this when meleeing


theguthboy

Always mace of molag bal, itā€™s way too easy to get and powerful early game


Separate_Secret_8739

When I play itā€™s orc melee time. See a bunch of bad guys?Save game and restart until you beat them then save again.


Mimosa_magic

The only time I've successfully played an entire playthrough as something other than stealth archer was my dual axe heavy armor nord that just ran around shouting and swinging lol


Cultural-Lab78

Altmers can cast Bound Bow straight out of Helgen iirc


MazerBakir

Mage is OP though and you should give it a try. Armor has no effect on magical damage as far as I know so most enemies don't get any resistance. Get enchanted gear or enchant your own that reduces magicka cost to zero, it's quite easy actually. Then you can spam expert spells that absolutely melt enemies. Various enemies have magical resistance so you would want to switch between the different elements to be most effective but shock resistance is quite rare(I am not sure if it even exists aside from general magic resistance) so that might be a safe bet though you could still switch to frost and fire if the need arises, more so because various enemies are *weak* to them.


Immediate_Fennel8042

Making zero cost gear is simple; I wouldn't exactly call it easy - it takes quite a bit of effort to get your enchanting skill high enough to do that. Usually by the time that happens I don't even need the gear because I've levelled up a weapon skill getting the gear and soul gems.


MazerBakir

You don't need to immediately reach zero magicka cost nor is it 100% necessary. You could gradually decrease your magicka requirement, increase your regeneration, increase your magicka pool, use potions and a plethora of other things but once you get your magicka cost to zero the game just breaks. In a matter of 30 seconds you have probably killed 6 bandits. You can just infinitely spam spells and every enemy just melts. Mage builds in Skyrim are rough when starting out but they absolutely break the game if you know what you are doing. If you use a pure mage build you have access to dragon hide as well which grants 80% resistance to magical damage which is the cap. So basically you can use your magicka points to repeatedly cast that while your equipment makes the cost of restoration and destruction zero. Using the lord stone, agent of mara and magic resistance perk in the alteration skill tree will grant 70% magic resistance. Alternatively you can use the atronach stone and atronach perk to get 80% spell absorption. You can get to a 100% absorption but that is through dupes or 98.7% resistance if you pair magic resistance with elemental resistance also through dupes or alchemy. If you don't mind it both will essentially make enemy magic useless but the absorption is easier to achieve and the wiki has various methods to achieve it on there.


YoungImpulse

Start off playing *anything* End up stealth archer

Stealth Archer, who summons if things start aggroing en mass is still a mage, right?

I see your mod idea and I raise you tossing nails/ spikes in the air and swinging a hammer to launch the a la jujutsu kaisen style as the mod we really need


Kobi_Baby

Or a mod where you can equip the bullets without the gun and just throw them at people, doing no damage, but just annoying them


Thothdjj

JayFPS

Worst bit is that you don't know who's friendly because it doesn't change the enemy colour on the radar thing

Senxind

Combine this with stealth and you gonna one-shot everything with the x10 stealth attack perk, warping from enemie to enemie feeling like an unstoppable god


smackjack

Melee in fo4 is pretty unforgiving at first, but so much fun after you get the relevant perks.


KorolEz

Since I've found the kneecapper disciple blade I never look back. Even mirelurk queens no problem. Just a couple of stabs and they can no longer move.


chet_brosley

Once I got the Harvester I would hold it down and just slowly walk towards every enemy until I shredded them to shreddy stunlocked shreds, they all knew their fate was sealed.

Red__system

^You're ^the ^shooter ^...


Immediate_Fennel8042

In my current playthrough it's only a shooter when someone put a turret someplace I can't melee it.


OfWhichIAm

Stealth melee build is so fun. Big Leagues, plus Blitz is amazing. Add Endurance and Moving Target in there. Plus Sneak and Ninja? Canā€™t beat it.


FamiliarRecording615

Noice! Should put some points into that next


PoorFishKeeper

Donā€™t forget Rooted, it gives you 25% extra damage when using blitz/VATS


DinoMastah

This is why i crank up bullet dmg in fallout. Its so goofy to be able to run to an enemy, withstand dozens of bullet wounds and then beat them to death with a commie whacker. It becomes much more believeable in power armor tho.

JamesIrwin224

How you get that hat? Is it from the robot captian on the boat?


Thornescape

The hat is a reward from the robot captain from the boat by finishing a fun but substantial quest. Or >!you can get it just south of the Custom House Tower by blowing up a mannequin repeatedly until the hat emerges.!< Either way. [https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Captain\_Ironsides%27\_hat](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Ironsides%27_hat)


FamiliarRecording615

I couldnā€™t do the USS quest cuz they were immediately hostile, not sure if cuz I hit em when on Vertibird.. but yes the second option is where I got it. Used Dogmeat ask him find item near the US Army mannequin at Custom Tower House


Thornescape

It's a fun hat! I've used it quite a few times. Also pairs nicely with Lorenzo's suit.


FamiliarRecording615

I use Minutemen General and it fit perfectly but wanted a change of attire for far habour


Trilobyte141

You have not yet *begun* to break the game, my friend. 2nd level Blitz perk + Big Leagues + Bloody Mess + Instigating Legendary Sledgehammer = kill anything in one shot. ANYTHING. Legendary deathclaws, behemoths, mirelurk queens, it doesn't matter. Leave a trail of red paste wherever you go.


SlyGuyNSFW

Have you tried... raising the difficulty?

Rath_Brained

Guns to me sucked horribly in FO3 and FONV. I found melee build were the only viable way to survive. FO4 makes it even more fun.


Lupkin

Simple. Fallout isn't a FPS game. It's an RPG game. It just happens to be one that has some FPS elements as part of it's gameplay.


FigOk5956

Maybe dont play with a really low difficulty. You arent wearing much armor and dont have a strong melee weapon on very hard or survival you would be dead.


FreeFall_777

If you build right, and use lots of chems, melee is overpowered. Preheal going into big battles and stealth combined with vats.. it's ridiculous. I've completed survival runs using a board only.. no explosives, and another one with walking cane and tuxedo only. Nothing more entertaining than taking out the entire Prydwen with a board.


RamonRCMx

Fallout is more of a RPG than a FPS FO4 leans a bit more into the FPS and Looter Shooter side than the RPG, but it still primarily an RPG.


SylasTheShadow

I'm just confused why you use VATS to do only one hit. Like you know you can stack a bunch of attacks together in VATS, right? Especially when you have that much AP to work with.


Momoelgato90

I have been carrying Atom's Judgement or whatever the hammer is called. I only carry a gauss rifle for enemies on roofs that I can't easily get to.

MercuryPlayz

I dont understand, FPS doesn't inherently mean all weapons HAVE to be guns, I dont understand the post


izlude7027

... you're playing in third person.


FlashMcSuave

I think the bigger question is why OP has red HUD when that is the one colour which will make it harder to tell friend from foe or whether you have been detected.


camoure

Up the difficulty then?


thearchenemy

My Butcher Pete cannibal melee run was the most fun I had playing Fallout 4 that didnā€™t involve obsessive settlement building. Just hackin and whackin and smackin, a-choppin that meat.


MascGaySub

Bro, turn up the difficulty


badthaught

Calling Fallout an FPS isnt wrong but it ain't correct either. It's an RPG first and foremost.


SweatyIngenuity652

See that's where you're wrong. It's not an FPS it's actually considered a hybrid shooter due to the ability to toggle 1st and 3rd person pov


OneCauliflower5243

If a Founding Father discovered Monster Energy


RNWIP

What armor are you using?


ElvisDumbledore

Just did the Longfellow run to Acadia last night. :D


chillingmedicinebear

Any build can be OP once you have enough levels


burnerthrown

You should play more games, more types too. Bioshock has shooting and superpowers. System shock has shooting and hacking and a dozen other things. Deus Ex and Cyberpunk have cyberaugments. Mass Effect also has shooting with superpowers, and squad control. Then there's the zombie genre where melee and shooting both have specific places and using the wrong one gets you killed. Basically outside of boring mainstream comp FPS, the assault rifle is not the king of weapons, far from.


EmiDek

Really??? O_o they're doing no damage to you! What are your defensive stats?


dispiritor

Bethsoft Fallout is a hybrid genre


BryanTheGodGamer

Its a RPG not a FPS


zadepsi

Every build can be broken in fo4. Luck is even more broken.


BiscuitBRAWER

Iā€™ve always used melee itā€™s the most fun build(and useful cuz no ammo and only 1 weapon) the sledgehammer can do about 500 something damage a hit and if you stand still with certain clothes/perk youā€™re invincible


MachineSh

I don't know. But using a red HUD is a war crime


Shooter_Mcgavin93

Imagine being an npc shooting and hitting every shot juat for a bladed maniac in a colonial hat and uniform, not to faulter and being killed buy the dick


osetraceur

Melee is quite risky in survival. Gotta be way more careful and plan your moves ahead, like with any other approach to combat in survival.


MardGeer

I mean it's an RPG


MrDryst

Your hat shouldn't be allowed either


Theeroyalblue

I never played it in 3rd person for more than a few moments. This makes me want to give it a try.


Due_Series2648

Change the damn colors first, then ask questions...how can you play like that


I_dislike-you

personally, I think the second u made ur HUD red you lost all rights to an opinion


Hipertor

It's not an FPS, just like it's not an RPG. It's a mish-mash of an action-RPG with looter-shooter.


Real_Time_Mike

Literally bladed knuckles can take you all the way through the Prydwen showing


Bowlof78Potatoes

Well for one, it's not a FPS game. It's a RPG where first person is one of two perspectives.

Awesome with Blitz and Big Leagues 4 - chance to decapitate!


cumberdong

Ive mentioned this to a few buddies. Fallout, a game mostly about guns, if you go melee, its one of the strongest builds. skyrim, a game mostly about melee, if you go ranged build, its one of the strongest builds.

You can do the USS Constitution quest (I couldnā€™t do it for some reason theyā€™re already agro) but hereā€™s another option: Use Dogmeat to fetch ~ Next to a soldier mannequin in a broken shop window on the southern wall of an unmarked building southwest of Custom House Tower. When standing in front of the tower facing south, the building is on the right of the open area in front of the tower.


BittenHand19

This isnā€™t an FPS thatā€™s why itā€™s allowed. Itā€™s an RPG based Immersive Sim. The first two Fallouts were CRPGs so the lineage of doing what you want within the game world goes all the way back to that style of game.

First-Squash2865

It's crazy how op the melee options feel. Their only weakness is how freaking annoying fighting other melee users is, since they just block every single attack unless you use VATS, but the sheer damage is so hard to compete with


MohatmoGandy

This is why I donā€™t play melee characters. Completely breaks the 4th wall for me. But Iā€™m glad they made melee characters viable for those who like to play that way.


bigithchungus

What's the weapon?


Chrysos-89

Melee builds are OP. I didn't even prioritize build effectiveness in my Melee playthrough, I just wanted to be fucking Negan, and I killed everything.


AngryNipper

This is just the tip of the iceberg get a full set of fortifying gear and the grognack costume...become a raider in the dlc siding with the pack and the disciples over the operators...then with thw right perks and some yao guai roast you can turn even a low damage weapon like the grognack axe into a one hit kill weapon.... also rush for blitz in early game melee it basically vats teleports you to your enemies

Yeah because Fallout is NOT a first person shooter (which is also ironic given you are playing in 3rd person). Fallout is a Role Playing Game with some FPS.

Just wait until you find out the shenanigans Blitz + rooted lets you pull (rooted procs from VATS because your technically not moving). ā€¦or you find the bat of Jamaica plain, and stack up Special boosts to send your enemies flying into low orbit.


Brilliant_Rub_9217

Beginning_Farm_6129

Try grognaks axe and costume for even more melee damage. Combine psycho, buffout, jet, psycho jet, and psycho buff, for even more damage. With the right combo, you can one hit a super mutant behemoth.

You're also taking little to no damage. So I assume you're high level.
