I like how you can use a firearm as a melee weapon. I had a super mutant master attack me up close, I was armed with the Fatman at the time because I was nuking his buddies from afar. I couldn't be bothered to switch to a gun that is better suited for up close and personal battle so I just used the Fatman and beat him with it. It took a while to kill him, but down he went.
I actually think minigun are kind of sh*t now. Unless you max out in the right perk, they do barely any damage and just eat through your ammo. I would suggest opting for a Gatling Laser, but they use Fusion Cores as ammo so...
Or just fully upgrade a missile launcher to fire four rockets and track targets. Mmhmm. Damn good gun, and that's without any perks or buffs assisting it.

I agree that miniguns aren't that great. I rarely even use my Ashmaker. I usually just use my three chambered missile launcher or a Fat Man to take out bosses and mobs. And lots of grenades.
I always invest in armor and weapon modding perks regardless of what type of build I may be playing. You have to be well armored and I can craft better weapons than what you find in the game.
One of my favorite weapons happens to be a crafted 10MM pistol. The first time I ever found a 10mm pistol worth keeping in a Fallout game. Usually I just sell the worthless things. This gun, I've taken deathclaws out with. Its a gun I always carry with me. I'll swap it out for something different if the battle I am in demands it.
It's not worth looking anywhere until I've seen it as the only way not to get spoiled is not to go where the spoilers might be. I'd thought here might be safe.... fortunately it was pretty mild so far.

Damn sleep! I missed all the FO4 talk. I'm loving the game, I can hardly put it down.

I'm playing on hard and I'm level 23 at the moment. I've spent a lot of the game sorting out my settlements and doing the side missions. I'm relying on 3 weapons, my sniper rifle (Dave) which I've just picked up a long scope for yay! My beast of a combat shotgun (The Berminater) and my fabulous VATs hit enhanced 10mm (Bobcat - I name my weapons ) which also has 25% reduced AP cost. I have 2 power arms which also speed up the regeneration of AP. I generally only use VATS in close quarter situations. The damage of the Bobcat is only 31 but can get 11 shots off in VATs which I usually use for blasting the lower legs off enemies and then finishing them off (if necessary) with my shotgun. The critical meter fills up very quickly with that weapon so I can usually kill some (normal) enemies outright. I don't generally use the big weapons because they are too heavy to lug around, and I have a couple of weapons I force myself to bring along that use .38 ammo and fuel cells because I have so much of that ammo that I just can't bear to leave them behind. If I have really nasty enemies, I use plenty of mines to cripple them.
