Hey everyone, I’m running a flamer commando build where I mostly hip fire, and I’m curious if the Gunslinger Master perk, combined with Reverse Onslaught, would work well with the EPR flamer. Also, can someone explain how Concentrated Fire operates? Does it improve the accuracy of the flamer?

As for Reverse Onslaught, it’s not really meant for DPS-focused weapons. It’s better suited for high-damage, slow-firing builds. So, for your flamer, I wouldn’t expect it to boost your damage output significantly. You get or lose a stack every second, and how fast you gain or lose stacks depends on your weapon’s fire rate.
In my experience, running a furious flamer setup works decently well for events or against several weak enemies, but you’ll burn through stacks fast if you’re facing tougher foes. It could be quite powerful against lots of weaker enemies spread out, but don’t expect it to hold up against stronger ones.
Gunslinger Master is definitely a great pick for fast weapons like the flamer! With a solid build, you’ll find that you just need to tap the trigger once for each enemy, consuming about 2 stacks to take them down—even the tough Wes Tek super mutants! Just keep those stacks around 30 if you can. However, I wouldn’t recommend using Gunslinger Master against bosses, as you might end up draining all your stacks super quick. Oh, and remember, Concentrated Fire is strictly for VATS, not for aiming manually.
