kill people with tools, bob the builder with attitude. the chainsaw is fantastic, especially the GRA one with carbide teeth, and the heavy handed trait goes a long way for it. the nailgun's honestly not great, but better criticals can help, and if nothing else, you could use it to cripple things, then saw them

Add the cannibal perk and you got yourself a Leatherface build.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

yeah, but it was pretty rare. the gun runners' arsenal DLC made it much more common by adding a second version you could put weapon mods on

this run i happened to be going guns and melee anyway, so i converted to this idea, and uhhhhh the nailgun is definitely the second wheel on the unicycle

I don't think it's called a chainsaw, and it's not like the typical chainsaw where you yank the cord back and hold it in two hands. It's called a Ripper and it's a one-handed weapon.

Yeah, when I read Nailgun I was kind of thinking that's not a strong choice to build a character around.

Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.

Oh. >_> My bad, it's been a few years.

I feel like the one-handed Ripper would be more convenient, but it's your play through.

At first I couldn't remember New Vegas having a chainsaw, but then Motor-Runner came to mind. Now it all makes sense.

the ripper's just a weaker chainsaw, the only thing more convenient is that it's lighter, but that's not a big deal

i'm oddly thriving with the nailgun, tore up honest hearts because the animals have no armor at all, and the white legs have very light armor, and i got an idea for another fun themed run:
a light shining in darkness
light machine gun
and greased lightning

and light armor, why not
