"Lincoln's Repeater is the most badass rifle in the game, partly because it starts off in perfect condition, and because the loading animation looks like you're tuning a radio"

It apperantly also has quite a few other abilities.

For example it is one of the FEW weapons with perfect aim (if your aiming it) and it has an ability involving heads but I forget what it is.

[Jackrabbit]

It should still free slaves on contact. And have double damage against slavers. Because that would be awesome.

[WorkerDrone]

...and it has an ability involving heads but I forget what it is.

You wanna know what it is?

IT BLOWS THE FREAKING HEADS OFF IS WHAT THAT ABILITY IS.

IT BLOWS THE FREAKING HEADS OFF IS WHAT THAT ABILITY IS.

Oh come on, it's Fallout. If it didn't explode heads, that would be cause for concern.

[WorkerDrone]

You know whats funny? At 100 Small Arms, you can turn that weapon into a FREAKING MONSTER.

Hell, at 100 Small Arms, I can deal 53 damage pershot with the Chinese Assault Rifle at full condition.

I don't even bother with Big Guns (Besides the MIRV and Fatman) and Energy Weapons.

Miniguns and all lazers just don't feel like your...SHOOTING SOMETHING. When I'm firing a Minigun, only if I'm using it outside of V.A.T.S is it a fun weapon, but it burns through far to much ammo. And lazers just feel, even if they arn't even at 100 Energy Weapons like peashooters.

At 100 Small Arms with the Bloody Mess Perk, Head shots + Dismemberment is entirely to easy at close range with a Chinese Assault Rifle.

[Neonivek]

I think the Linceon's head ability is it cripples heads with one hit... or is it that it always criticles against heads?

[WorkerDrone]

The latter, or it doesn't matter, because I always get headshots with the Repeater anyway.

[Jackrabbit]

Sounds kinda game breaking to be honest

No the Railroad Gun also can easily cripple limbs (4 times damage to limbs). Its weakness is that it is difficult to repair, quickly degrades, and doesn't do as much damage as the effort to get it would suggest.

The Game breaking ability (closest to gamebreaking that is) of the L-Repeater is that it has perfect aim outside VATS. Effectively means that it is the BEST Sniping weapon in the game since you can sneak snipe people as long as you can see them. Plus it has great ammo capacity.
-Its weakness however is that it runs on the rarest buyable bullet type in the game

Hm, looks like I can change the thread name back...

Dontcha actually get energy weapons for the plasma guns?

and "Bloody Mess"... does that actually do something in FO3, other than show you the bloody deaths?

[Neonivek]

It isn't so much that Energy weapons are horrible, some are rather powerful.

It is that they arn't significantly more powerful, and often weaker, with ammo much more expencive.

From the Fallout wiki.

As traits were completely removed from Fallout 3; Bloody Mess was changed into a perk.

Aside from people around you always dying violently, you’ll also do 5% extra damage with all weapons.

So it makes enemies more likely to gib, and gives you 5% extra damage.

[WorkerDrone]

Damn it, ninja'd. Yeah you get that nifty 5% bonus, and its just damn FUN to watch the death animations that way.

There are death animations?  I thought they just had ragdolls and over the top blood / gore.

Is the Bloody Mess perk seriously that entertaining?  I mean, it was fun to try it a few times in the originals, but after a while the total predictability made it kind of dull, and in Fallout 3 it's even stupider because you can loot character's armor...
