not legendary) members being tougher than the ones wearing power armor? I went to Quincy and I was more afraid of the random no named ranked gunners than the ones running around with power armor. What's with their higher ranked members (like, military rank.
And something that can tank 20+ laser sniper shots to the face, is still gonna tank 10+ plasma shots to the face, I like plasma, but I get a lot of confrimation bias on how 'weak' it is because I always bring my plasma out for enemies that don't die in 1 or few shots from everything else I own. So nailing every single bit of it is more iffy than spamming even the laser shotgun. Main issue I'd figure is it's stuck with moving projectiles instead of hitscan. I know my plasma rifle has a slightly higher damage for BOTH it's energy, and ballistic damage compared to my laser rifle. Plasma weapon's damage is 50% ballistic Valid, but that ballistic is also usually as high as most rifles. For an example: Most raiders is going to take 100% of the energy damage but only *shrugs* 90% of the ballistic damage. Gooified enemies have a chance to spawn Nuclear Materials in their inventory. This weapon's damage IS affected by the Commando Perk. You need the Science Perk to improve this Weapon.
