Coupled with the fact that they're considerably less common then firearms, ammo included, they really require you take full advantage of their perk sets to keep yourself well stocked and not up ♥♥♥♥ creek in a fight with them constantly. Plasma chews through ammo faster then locusts in a greenhouse, and laser doesn't deal nearly enough damage too break through the DT's of even averagely difficult enemies, so you'll unload all of your ammo killing things anyway. But when you get to the later stages of the game, you will find some pretty powerfull energy weapons AND guns(ex Alien blaster, Gauss rifle, Q-35 matter modulator, AER14Prototype, Anti-material rifle, brush gun, the 44.Įnergy weapons are neat looking, but you'll be pressed to use them to any effective extent in the early stages of the game.
They are cheap, easy to find, and if you play on hardcore mode in NV, the ammo Is not as heavy as energy weapon ammo. In the beginning of the game, you will be using guns.
