Is Furious or Quad Better for the Plasma Gatling?

-

I’m currently using an Onslaught build and want to maximize the Plasma Gatling’s performance. I’ve got a Plasma Caster outfitted with Quad and VATS Enhanced, yielding around 2,000 rounds from one Plasma Core. However, I’m contemplating switching to Furious in combination with Explosive and Bully’s. This might allow me to skip the VATS accuracy bonus (which isn’t crucial for the Raid) and really melt down the EN-06 Guardian. What do you all think?

Furious is definitely the way to go for increasing your overall damage. And honestly, 500 rounds is plenty! For your fourth star, I’d recommend something like Polished or Stabilized, depending on your play style.

Just a heads up, using Explosive with Bully’s isn’t ideal. The explosive damage spreads across multiple parts, which dilutes the benefits of Bully’s damage buff.

The 500 shots you get from a Gatling Plasma should be enough for most encounters, so I also favor Furious over Quad. If VATS is your playstyle, you’ll get more damage with crits than from Bully’s, but if VATS isn’t your thing, then Bully’s can be pretty solid.

StealthSniper12 -

Totally agree! If you’re not going VATS, Bully’s can still be helpful, but why not maximize damage with Furious?

I’d definitely go with Furious, especially if you aren’t using reverse Onslaught. It really boosts your damage potential.
