the fast shot and bonus ROF) and blasted them asunder.

Learn how to effectively use the 'fast shot' perk and bonus Rate of Fire to blast through enemies in Fallout Tactics. Get tips for the Great Bend level and beyond.

Alright, let's talk about taking down enemies in Fallout Tactics, specifically focusing on how to really maximize your damage output. We're going to cover the 'fast shot' perk and how it plays with bonus Rate of Fire (ROF) to absolutely blast them asunder. Some folks argue for doing the Coldwater mission first to snag power armor, which is a solid choice, but honestly, it's up to you. What's more important right now is that you're prepared for the fight ahead.

First things first: bring MINES. And I mean LOTS of them. Trust me on this one.

Now, let's dive into the Great Bend area. When you first insert, head south of your starting point. You'll find a house with a woman named Noelene inside. You'll need to navigate around some sparking cables to get to her, and then you'll have to unlock the door. She's got some valuable intel on the Pac-bot for you, and conveniently, she also has a bookcase stocked with some decent medical supplies. Definitely worth the detour.

The game doesn't give you a map for this next part; you're expected to infiltrate it yourself. And let me tell you, a lot of death awaits if you're not careful. Once you're in, make your way around the tanker to the northeast. You'll find a guy named Jake there. Talk to him about three times. He'll spill the beans that any surviving humans are hiding underground, and the robots are in disarray, almost like their leader is missing.

The robots you'll face are dug in up the street. They're armed with automatic rifles and don't take much damage from standard ballistic weapons like rifles unless you land a critical hit. Because of this, your best bet is to rely on explosives and targeted shots. If you've got energy weapons, now's a good time to try them out, though their effectiveness can vary depending on your skill level.

Regarding energy weapons in Great Bend, some players have found success with high energy weapon skills (around 105-115%). While the effectiveness can be debated, if you've invested in this skill, don't hesitate to use them.
