He may be speaking of the models looking the same. My modded out shotgun is the exact same model as my modded out combat rifle. I can't tell what I even have in my hand sometimes without firing a round off...
Umm, theres like ten thousand different weapons in this game.
No mods m8, just playing F4 vanilla , no cheats/mods etc....
Works for me. Not many sleeping enemies i find though. Sneak up to them and you get a option to pickpocket or sandman killI can't actually get the sleeping enemy kill thing to work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but there's no "kill" option the way there was in New Vegas.
That said, the 50% bonus is worth it by itself because it multiplies with other bonuses. Sneak + Level 3 Sandman + Level 3 Ninja = 5.4x damage. Which means that my Gauss Rifle is hitting for 3600 points of damage on a sneak attack, which one shots anything, including Behemoths. I haven't had an opportunity to test that on a Mirelurk Queen yet, but it should one shot even those.
I find Idiot Savant to be very useful even for a character with high intelligence. For the first two ranks, it won't trigger often at all with a high intelligence, but the last rank, the one involving combat, still seems too.

Once you find ammo for weapons like the cryolator some vendors will limited quantities. It's just a matter of finding the caps.
that's no fun.

You know my main problem with ammo is too much of it, like 4000+ of virtually every type, enough for a small war lol.
Other guns also make little sense like the .45 round guns. Of which only pipe revolvers, combat rifle, and the Submachine gun use. The damage from those platforms if very low when compared to the output from others similar style guns.
Only for .38, 10mm, and later fusion cells do you find a crap ton of ammo. Ammo types like .50 cal, .308, and even shotgun shells remain relatively rare to find.
Which means using a modded Combat rifle to use .38 ammo for much of the early game along with a laser rifle/pistol combo. I do use my .50 cal though to pick off targets while I can with long range sneaking most of the time.
My understanding is that they produce Fertilizer. It's not something I've taken care to observe, as I have with food production.What do Bramain (the cows) actually do in settlements? I know you can put tubs out for them to be around, but i don't see a actual harvesting purpose for them..
Some vendors do sell the limited ammo types, like cryo cells, and cannonballs, but hardly enough to allow either of those weapons to be a main weapon type to use throughout the game.

Fertilizer's required to make drugs and explosives. I don't recall ever having a shortage of it.
I have the perk that gets you extra ammo(perk is maxed out) and I've plenty of everything, my favourite weapons now are the plasma pistol, laser sniper rifle, reason being fire rate and damage (over 100)they do, nice seeing them get melted to ashes lol .
Problem I've is selling ammo,grenades, I've to give half of it away due to the vendor not having enough caps and yes I invested the 500 caps into each vendor store.
Even grenades add up in weight, I don't mind selling it all cheap since easy to find more.
There are SEVERAL plugins at NexusMods with ammo crafting.
Oh I know. I mentioned that already in my post. But not everyone likes to use plugins, which if you don't sort of makes using automatic or heavy guns as your main weapon types almost impossible to do in this game as is.
Fusion cells are one of the most plentiful ammo types there are. I mentioned that. Next to .38 it's the second most. 10mm and then .45 are the next most plentiful.
As far as grenades I use mine. Those grenades and mines do work and work well if you like to prepare to harder encounters. Since I am the sneaking type, it's nice to be able to sneak around and area to look at everything inside before deciding how I want to engage. I use grenades, mines, and even nukes when I have to.
I haven't bother with buying or selling because I haven't found a need to do so. Nothing any vendor I have seen selling stuff has been like "OH WOW MUST HAVE!!" in this game yet. There were a few nice pieces when I was starting out where vendors sold some legendary stuff when I didn't have any, but the prices were down right ridiculous at like 20K caps or more. By the time I saved up near that, I have found as good if not better gear. That and most legendary prefixes aren't really all that great to begin with. That and they tend to be attached to lower level gear that sucks. Really hard to find good legendary Heavy Combat or Heavy Synth armor in this game. Most of the legendary weapons I've found tend to be melee weapons.
So I tend to hoard everything for now and toss them into boxes near my workshop in sanctuary if I don't break them down entirely. Caps so far literally have no point for me except to make stores for my settlements. Even then that is only so I can get the 100% happy achievement in the game for a settlement and it literally does nothing else for the game at all to get a settlement that happy.
IME, .45 is far more abundant than 10mm
Far more rounds of 10mm for me than .45 found. You can't even start finding .45 ammo until you reach level 12 in the game, but 10mm is found from level 1 on.
What do Bramain (the cows) actually do in settlements? I know you can put tubs out for them to be around, but i don't see a actual harvesting purpose for them..
and yet I've still found roughly 10% for 10mm what Iv'e found for .45, nearly 120 hours played.
I am finally up to 650 or so 10mm rounds stashed (when I was almost always out).
But this is only because I have moved to my assault rifle as my primary shooter simply so I can start using up the 2k+ rounds that I have. And that total never, ever drops. Because all I find is .45
