Honestly it is crazy. I literally wanted to make an AFK build and this did it for me. As you can see in the intro it takes a while to take damage and then I just auto heal myself lol.

I'm baaack. Great job putting this together btw, this takes a lot of effort. I know I've already made a few comments and decided to spend last night experimenting with a fresh character. I also needed to fact check something myself so here's my take on the build just to make things clear for anyone attempting to do this. I'll address the major flaw first, everything else is personal preference or quality of life (QOL) related things and a few points that weren't specifically mentioned in terms of allocating perks: 1. Heavy gunner does not affect the Chinese Grenade Launcher, which I will refer to as the CGL going forward. The two perks that add bonus dmg to the CGL are Rifleman and Demolition expert. 2. The Sentinel effect is % based, whereas Rooted and Toughness are flat values that just fall off by the time you can maximize this build at around level 50. Ballistic weave itself has more DR potential than the 7 points you would need to put into these perks, so IMHO they are a waste of perk points. Just keep in mind you need maxed out Armorer (doable by lvl 39) to apply lvl 5 ballistic weave - so the points go there. This avoids dumping a whole bunch of SPECIAL points into Strength for a non-melee build, unless you just like to carry everything. Which leads to a suggestion, for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee ($5 US) you can purchase the military backpack from the Creation Club which can be modded to add a special stat, 5% bonus explosive damage, and provides additional carry weight. It's the only real life purchase I've made other than the game itself, I highly suggest it. There is also a life regen mod but you lose the bonus explosive dmg, so it's dealer's choice there if you are really bent on lvl 3 Lifegiver, which is redundant when you have maxed Medic and stims. I have 2 backpacks I carry, One Endurance+Explosives, the other Charisma+Life regen for when I'm dealing with vendors or for speech checks. 3. An alternative starting build would be 3 Strength, 4 Perception, 3 Endurance, 6 Charisma, 4 Intelligence, 3 Agility, and 5 Luck. Immediately put your "You are Special" point into whatever you want other than Perception. I chose Agility. The Perception Bobblehead is immediately available if you save the Minutemen in Concord, unlocking Demolition Expert. Take Idiot Savant (only to lvl 2) for save scumming quest turn ins and speech checks to level faster, this is why INT is at 4 - still allowing for Hacker. Charisma at 6 lets you invest in Local leader early for QOL. 4. I understand console can be drastically different from PC. I played the game at release on a PS4. Revisited on PC during Covid, and recently came back due to the mini-series and the update, which is why we are here lol. I'm a Commando/Demo build but wanted to check out the CGL anyway because why throw a molotov/grenade when you can have a grenade launcher, regardless of not being invested in Rifleman my CGL does something like 483 dmg. Most things take 1-2 shots. I still use my wounding laser rifle and explosive combat shotgun primarily though. Sorry, got off topic, but the point here is Auto-Stim. PC users can just tap Zero or whatever number key they want to re-assign stimpacks to, or K, E, Tab for a quick stim via the pipboy. I would be more inclined to just farm a Sentinel chest piece. BUT, this being an AFK build, there is a reason you have it there, but I don't know of any situation where I would just walk away and leave my toon idle for an extended period of time, especially during combat, vs just exiting the game - unless it's in Survival mode. 5. Gun nut is necessary. After visiting Suggs dozens of times for ammo or waiting in his chair to reset his inventory, I never saw a CGL with an existing Ballistic shield to remove, so I finally put the 4 points in Gun nut from lvl 50-54 as it requires lvl 4 Gun nut to build. But otherwise you can get away with no points in gun nut, it's another QOL perk. You will readily find all the mods you need on weapons you find just playing the game or purchase them from vendors, slap basic mods on them, then just move the mods over to your preferred weapon. 6. Otherwise, Lone wanderer is great and you get additional % based DR. Companions suck anyway, they just break stealth and get in the way. Plus Dogmeat is the best. I only really use him anymore when I need to carry 1000 purified water to a vendor though. Old glitches apply. Drop the water, tell him to pick it up, his carry weight is unlimited. &. Thanks for reading if you got this far, sorry for the massive post but I like to be clear for the new players or old timers returning that might be rusty. I've put in a lot of hours the past 6 weeks. It's no fun to dump 9 starting points into Strength to then realize 10 real life hours later that the only thing actually beneficial to a build like this Armorer, a lvl 3 perk.

Thanks so much for sharing your detailed comment, a lot of it makes sense depending on one viewpoint. A couple of things, agreed in the Ballistic Weave but I kept it optional so some may go ahead with the perk points instead. In terms of Heavy Gunner, in my testing it did seem to effect the weapon. I had put in some ranks and did notice the damage increase on the weapon itself. The Auto Stim is also a fair point but really is was to somewhat show off the almost immortal state that one can be in so no need to administrator a stimpack manually. But I think all your detailed thoughts are pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Not trying to tear apart the build and fully get why the auto-stim is there for a true AFK build. It might be worth testing again yourself, but Heavy Gunner was what I was specifically testing by going back to a Vault 111 save, getting to lvl 10, saving a perk point, then doing When Pigs Fly and investing that point to see if I got any dmg from it. Online research indicates the CGL isn't a heavy weapon and only benefits from Rifleman and Demo Expert, but I don't always trust the internet so I wanted to do it myself to really make sure.

Yeah that's right. I did also think about that in a similar way but sadly that was after I had already starting post processing. Still, thanks for sharing as its helpful to others.

Sleek doesn't stack. Take Muffled or something else of your preference on your other leg. Stabilized does stack but some armor types also offer Dense on arms (metal and combat armor if I remember correctly). Honestly don't really need 20% additional stability to aiming when you mostly shoot from the hip with the grenade launcher. Even aiming down sights, the ballistic shield is just a modified reflex sight for aiming purposes, which won't suffer. Stabilized is for scopes.

Ha ha yeah. I do find find it a little worrying as this build does break down if you somehow manage to take a lot of damage very quickly which is something the MIRV weapon can do to yourself if your not careful especially if you lose the Ballistic shield. But in principle your right, it would be devastating. That said I wonder if you can get the shield of the MIRV????

You can't find legendary Chinese grenade launcher variants. Maybe they will patch it in but the only legendary CGL is the one in the vid that you get as a quest reward from Suggs after completing When Pigs Fly. Well, I guess that's not 100% true as Suggs has one you can pickpocket or kill him for that has the Kneecapper legendary (think it's called the Flakker), but if you kill him you will lose your main vendor for 40mm grenade ammo. The quest reward (Penetrating) is the better choice.

It's good, but sadly doesn't work well on the only proper gameplay mode: Survival. Stimpacks will kill you via hydration loss if you go afk in that mode. You'd have to take off auto-stim and put a different legendary, and manually heal when close to death. Best way to do that is use speciality Nuka Cola, like Grape. So basically you end up with a tank build, but not afk.

@asherandai1000 Vats currently will target enemies through walls and floors on the Xbox version. Plus there is massive stuttering if you have any mods that alter the appearance of any npc. There is also the problem that if a mod is removed then you're not allowed to access the mod menu at all, unless you delete and reinstall the entire game. Mods being deleted can happen without warning for the smallest bit of BS from Bethesda (It just happened to Skyrim players as they banned all of Morrigan Hellsing's mods and nuked the load order of thousands of players, causing the deletion of several playthroughs), just off a single report from a malicious person with very little research done to confirm whether the report is genuine or not. Normally that just means the mod is removed from your load order and you have to make a new character and find a replacement mod, but with Fallout 4 on Xbox currently you cannot even access the mod page if this happens. As for the patch, it is supposed to make the game run better and fix a bunch of glitches, but currently just makes it worse (only on Xbox mind you). As for the content, that is fine. It makes me fairly sad that I cannot play it currently because the content looks fun. They added new weapons, armor, quests, and building kits (Enclave and Halloween). I really want to update but I am waiting til they fix the bugs that they caused.

It's certainly one waynto go about it. The focus really here is that if you want to you can go away and your character will almost not get killed. Its basically an AFK build that heals itself. And if you then decide to play properly you will be able to take out enemies easily while they will not be able to do much damage to you.

Not sure if anyone has heard of this exploit before but it's a great way to get thousands of caps every minute in FNV. Basically what you're going to wanna do is get 1 C4 plastic explosive and a bunch of any type of ammo (9mms, BBs, Energy cells, flamer fuel, or 5mms) then what you do is use the ammo swap glitch (yes, the ammo swap glitch also works on mines and grenades) while the C4 is equipped and you'll be able to effectively create a new C4 from thin air, then you can sell those cloned c4s to any vendor that has a ton of caps like sink and you can get 10K - 20k caps every few minutes
