Same story here. I've moved on from heavies but I still have my first ever (decently rolled) gatling gun. QE50DR. The third is garbage but I will never get rid of this gun. Sentimental and all. Heck, it still makes a great and ammo efficient tagger 😊

Or use holy fire with literally anything else

I use this as my main weapon for every day stuff. Its extremely generous with ammo return and i use the excess ammo for my converter to turn into ammo for weapons i use for boss damage

This gun is insanely good with VATS. I have a bloodied/weapon speed/reduced AP it is really really good. I got lucky. Someone had in their vendor for 4k 😂

One thing you didn't "specifically" call out... it is NOT a spin up heavy. Like the 50cal, when you need to snap off a shot (tagging, etc), you get at least 1 shot right away. That is a big plus for both Gatling and 50.

Wiggles, thanks for doing all these videos about the various weapons as it really gets me to try different ones and see what’s possible. I too prefer full health builds so incredibly helpful to me. The Appalachian thunder pipe paint is still available from the Atomic shop if you go through Bethesda support, I bought it recently.

Good old gatling gun will never let you down. I loved it when i was using it. It was the best gun i had for a long time for many reasons. But now i have a bloodied plasma caster with +15ap per kill and -25% ap cost, calibrated reciever and sniper barrel. It is absolutely ridiculous, 2 hits per super mutant and i get a lot of shots with vats. I feel bad sometimes because im regularly stealing kills from people several times my level. I think i got insanely lucky with that roll and I'll probably not get that lucky again for a long time

I use to use that gun when it was bugged and since it got patched I just lost the pleasure of using it. Back then you would keep the firing trigger pressed and each time you'd press the aim trigger a shot would fire. That meant you could shoot that gun as fast as you want.

I’m so glad someone remembers that I built my hole build around that had explosive on my Gatling gun got my guy to lvl 200 and then it got patch and I’ve been struggling to find my next weapon sense

I don't use this gun often, but i have one with anti armor, aim damage, faster reload. It's good. Could definitely use something better on the last star, but at least faster reload isn't useless. Nice thing about having a skin on it is that it reduces the giant size of the drum mag. Btw the thunder pipe skin was on a scoreboard, but has since been in the atom shop a few times

Spot on analysis, Wiggle. The TSE gatling is my daily driver for my heavy gunner build. No spin up and great for tagging groups

I prefer the plasma caster, usually doing damage in the 400's, but the Gat is an excellent leveling heavy weapon due to both damage and ammo economy. I find it's best to use the Gat in 3rd person like you're doing, as 1st person aiming sucks. The Gat used to be EXTRA good a few years ago where the Gat would shoot as fast as you could click the fire button. On PC you'd bind fire to the mouse wheel and just spray rounds.

GG is my workhorse. I have a Vampires Explosive. With the biggest ammo capacity and mods and I’m virtually unkillable. In my PA I stand in the middle of a horde of creatures attacking me and I hold fire until everything is dead. It has 500 rounds and shoots slow so I just mow then down and for every hit they land I’m landing 5 times more and my health never dips below 85-90%. Yeah there are godroll weapons that deal damage faster but it’s the greatest feeling to be in soloing Moonshine Jamboree and have a sea of gulpers and charred ghouls literally swarm me and I’m like an unmovable mountain they can’t drop (until the poison hits). And at point blank range like that the explosive is causing damage to multiple enemies too. It’s wicked.

I have a fully modded version of this with vampiric, light weight, and 250 damage resist while reloading. It weighs 2lbs, and 3k ammo weight another two or three lbs with perks. I keep it in my back pocket for emergency situations because one day I was fighting Earl, and I had ammo still, but both my main guns went through 100 percent of their durability. Now, if that happens, I got the good old backup vampire gat.

This thing is perfect in combination with foundations vengeance. Use the gatling for normal enemies, and the minigun for bosses/legendaries

My go to heavy. I roll with either a two-shot explosive or anti-armor explosive. Sooo much ammo all over the place.

Maybe I'll respec my 10mm character to a heavy gunner, this looks more fun. Anything but a 4th stealth commando was sort of the point anyway, lol

Just respec and become the heavy gunner you want to see in the world. I have a build that is sneaky, and I have a build that is the exact opposite of sneaky. One uses silicenced weapons, and sneak bonuses. The other uses power armor and vampiric heavy guns. I am terrifying as both builds. They both come in handy for different things.

My first heavy was a vampires explosive gatling gun. It was awesome.

The ideal legendary attributes of choice for the Gatling gun are: vampire, faster fire rate and cheaper VATS. Of course the mod that increases Faster Fire Rate is important to that.

I agree that this is a great heavy gun but I have a stalkers plasma caster with vats accuracy that blows this away for range & damage and the ammo reclamation is phenomenal.

The best roll for this weapon are either bloodied or antiarmor with ffr and speedy receiver, anything else just slowmo gun.

I like aim damage. FFR depends on the base fire rate, so you don't get much for it with this. You only get like 5 more fire rate. Explosive or aim damage are way better

I have a Vampires with FF. I almost never die and ammo is unlimited just from looting it.

I carry 2 of them: one is quad explosive reduced weight with prime receiver and the other is instigating faster fire rate with speedy receiver. It be cool to see legendary crafting on this one.

I do gatling gun for normal mobbing but switch to mini gun for boss so I never actually have trouble with ammo

Vampire and explosive is my new favorite thing for everything other than bosses

Love this gun. Can't wait to pick up one of the skins to give it a better sight.

Still have my crafted one roll TSE Gatling gun today love it.

Ive used a gatling gun for a while now If i remember right it has both faster fire rate and armor penetration and that thing is terrifying especially with headshots ♡ Just a few is all it needs. Yeah its way slower than a minigun but i think it has a MUCH greater damage output in the long run

I ended up using the gatling gun after liking the civil war weapons like the black powder pistol (had like 5 on quickswap for instant high dmg) and after using it, I went straight for a heavy weapons power armor style and I've been using it since the B.E.T.A. I absolutely love heavy weapons and nothing is quite as reliable as ol Gatty.

It's fun if you have a faster fire rate one and it's also extremely ammo efficient but there's many heavy gun that are way better like the 50 cal

I have 2 cremators for dot stacking then switch to Gatling to chew on the target while the dot runs, 10secs in switch back and reapply dots

Love this gun. Have a bloody explosive. Miss the aiming glitch. Been trying to roll a vampire one but no luck yet.

I got given a prime bloodied gatling with some ultracite 5mm by a absolute saint of a player when i was abit over lvl 50 just before a alien event, i still carry this gun, love it and the bullets are free. I have others that do more damage now but this i use for normal enemies

I have a bffr15, and it's my bloodied pa build workhorse. Can take on anything short of earl or sbq. Sure, it doesn't have the dps of a q5025 fixer or the flash of a gauss mini with grenadier, but it's my old reliable.

Ive Got a bloodied ffr, with snappy receiver gatling gun.. i run it on a bloody commando build in VATs and having some fun with it.. sure i could do a better build but even with a non optimal it does great.. that thud is awesome. I get numbers close to 800 on hits.

I'd love to see a good farming guide for these guns, plans, etc.

I think the front ring sight reduces AP.

Gatling gun is so good because it feeds my other ammo hungry guns. Run it for a day when I'm doing normal stuff and the next I can convert all the spare 5mm to 308 or 50 cal when I'm doing stuff with my buds. Helps I managed to roll one with explosive and executioner's.

Max out grenadier you get a larger blast radius is the gun has explosive bullets

Plasma caster is my favourite unlimited ammo high damage shoots like a sniper just wish it was a bit more actuate

Run this weapon with all my heavy gun builds. It is more than just ammo efficient it breaks alot less often in my opion over other heavy guns.

Gatling is great for an "overall" weapon. But I love the quick dmg the railgun does. Though the rail ammo is heavy, and sometimes rough to obtain. If the rail ammo was less weighty and more drops from mobs, the railgun would be better.

Nah, definitely like my instigating cremator more, besides ammo issues there's nothing I don't like about it, range is great and easy to arc shots to targets as it doesn't really miss like a straight shot does usually catch targets because of the spread and explosions 2nd star for mine is 50% vats hit chance so vats shoot move on to next target

When you know how to make a build you don't need vampire to survive even with loud out of vats weapons (and you can survive too even if you are low health)

I wanted to like this one, got a anti armor, faster fire rate but felt it was kinda weak compared to some of the other heavies i've tried. Maybe I need bloodied explosive? Love the look and sound of it though.

Unless they come up with a cursed version that increase the fire rate by 50-75% not worth your rolls or time

Got a 2shot limb damage 2 star Gatling gun at like level 35 or something and it carried me all the way up until level 100

The best gun is a reliable gun. Plus a two shot explosive Gatling is super fun and satisfying.

I got all the mods, currently using +25% damage against scorched +25% weapon speed and ultracite ammo I called it scorched killer

get the faster firerate one and get the mod on nexus that gets rid of the crank animation and it becomes a pretty insane wep

I mained the gatling in nuclear winter and sunk w after w.

I love my vampire gatling gun. I try to only carry 3,000 rounds and keep 10,000 in reserve. The rest I put in my vendor for 1 cap.

Gatling gun is more a useful tool than a 'best' weapon. Its excellent at picking off weaker targets at a distance and building up ammo for the Minigun. Minigun can then handle the tougher foes. I run a heavy/demo build with an AAE Gatling gun and TSE Minigun, couldn't ask for more from both weapons.

Shouldn't the fire rate be faster or is that a different heavy gun?

I can’t say I agree.. I roll my eyes whenever I see anyone using this gun and especially at events. I can kill 4-5 super mutants with my fixer before the guy next to me can kill 1 using the gatling. I had a BE15FR one that I put in my vendor for 15K and it sat for two weeks before someone bought it. Edit: There is nothing wrong with the gat for regular every day solo use.. and you can make any weapon work with the correct build.. but the gat is insanely inefficient overall compared to other heavies and it’s ammo efficiency doesn’t offset its other inefficiencies in my opinion. I recommend the gauss mini if you’re a heavy build. That or the plasma caster.

Gathers ammo faster than I use it. Explosive is nice. Vampire would be helpful.

My first heavy gun was the .50 cal, been using it ever since, tried the Gatlin but it has gotten me killed because it fires so slow, never had that problem with the .50 cal. The one I have used for years is a double shot explosive. Yesi carry 20,000 rounds with me cause it just eats ammo. That mirelurk Queen you were struggling with takes me about 30 seconds to take down. I go there all the time to collect cranberries for cranberry relish. Hey not saying anything bad about the Gatlin gun my buddy swears by it, it's just not my favorite.

I miss being able to slamfire it, it was hilarious!

The Gatling Gun is a very good weapon but I prefer the plasma caster because is very powerful. I have the Q2525...it's a monster weapon

Someone in game gifted me a furious gatling gun and i am forever grateful. has gotten me through alot.

So far my best weapon is the quad gause rifle vampire legendary mod with prime receiver. Poppin 1000k minimal..

to me this gun is ok, nothing crazy and the attack speed drives me crazy haha, amazing video but i'm sticking with my 50 cal, gattling plasma, gauss minigun that i've been lucky to roll with bloodied, attack speed in all 3 of them, insane damage and speed from all 3 of them (the 50 cal is the weakest but hits for 160 per hit and the GP hits for 240 per hit)

looks and sounds great but dps wise its 3x slower then Holy Fire, which is the REAL best heavy

99% of the time i end up selling or converting my extra 5mm as I'm constantly around 20k rounds

Plasma caster is the best heavie weapon in fallout 76 overall… It doesnt break fast Ammo is free Hits like a truck Can solo earl in around 50 seconds with a good roll about same as railway Covers all ranges Can be use out of power armor and still hits hard Just best heavie weapon overall Less ap cost and more damage than gatling gun

While the gatling gun is my favorite heavy weapon, it is NOT the best. Yes you're correct about it being great for beginners due to it's amazing ammo economy and reliability to unalive whatever you need it to at any range. But i only use it as a backup weapon for the most part, since i feel as though my holy fire gets me through any content alot more reliably and hastily and i mean much much more. I just with the gatling was a bit faster, feels horrendous if you dont have speedy receiver and speedy legendary effect.

It's not you're aiming bro. All the guns fire from the gun off center towards the bottom left of the reticle in third person. It's been a problem since oblivion that only Skyrim modders have solved the problem in a roundabout way to my knowledge.

The +50 crit mod is far superior to explosive mod
