Sorry Plasma Rifle, There's a New Gansta in The Vault
With 19-21 damage of AP BOS Assault Rifle vs 17-18 of Plasma Rifle, there's no competition here.
I always preferred Plasma Rifle over other rare weapons with damage in ranges 15-19 as the average was lower for them. But the maximum 19 of other weapons being the minimum for this new weapon, this is now the best rare weapon option for regular vault dwellers.
I had 150+ Plasma Rifles for my general vault dwellers, but after crafting a lot of Dragon's Maw for my Wasteland Explorers, HP levellers, and top floor vault dwellers / Vengeance for quest teams / Lead Belcher for stronger dwellers which I send for fighting creature attacks/fires in the vault rooms / and other top legendary weapons I crafted in 3s for quests that ask for them (e.g. Magnetron 4000 for Gauss Rifle quests), I will equip all remaining of my vault dwellers with this weapon now.
Awesome addition 🦾

Is it the new best in the game?

u/A2X-iZED 2d ago
Definitely not the best, but given how quickly you can craft it, it tops in terms of efficiency (highest damage gun in least time to produce)
If you wanna mass produce guns this is definitely the best solution.

Definitely not best overall, but something that doesn't cost much in terms of caps, junk, and time required to craft. Thus it can be crafted in large numbers for instances that are not extremely difficult, like incidents within the vault. So until anyone can craft great legendary weapons in large numbers, this is the best next weapon to equip for all dwellers.

I unlocked the recipe a week ago, but I waited till I had crafted more than 100 of them before gifting them out to my vault dwellers at once.

Someone’s been buying Quantum’s….

u/TCRGonReddit 2d ago
it’s not that hard to mass produce this, i have 4 weapon factories dishing one out every 1hr 50 minutes with a room of max stats +5 and pets

u/tonyisgaming 1d ago
Ahh ok didn’t know about that. I think it’s because I’m on PC. I’m not sure if there is a crafting pet because I have a lot of pets and never saw one.

u/problematisksild 1d ago
you sound jealous gang

u/tonyisgaming 1d ago
Not at all. I was actually correct. Dude literally just posted saying he had 700+ quantum’s to use. No one in the world is able to collect 700 quantum’s legitimately without literally losing their job. Quantum’s come from actively playing the game; so it’s not something you can do passively throughout your life in between work.

If you watch the ads you can collect 14 colas at a shot about 2 or three times a day if you religiously watch the ads every couple of hours.
I also send 24 dwellers at a time into the wasteland and I play the side quests which can net 1 to 4 bottles per side quest, then there are the lunchboxes they find can sometimes have bottles I can end up with 60 bottles on a really good day.1
u/problematisksild 1d ago
i literally dont care lmao i modded my own save to have max quantum because the game is too slow

u/tonyisgaming 1d ago
That’s even worse, but that’s my opinion. To each their own:

u/problematisksild 1d ago
how is it bad tho, how is it worse, how is it harming anything in the world
2
u/tonyisgaming 1d ago
That’s not to say there aren’t ways it’s better. For example the fact that it allows people who don’t have the means to afford quantum or the time to afford progress to enjoy the game. But this is not without its costs. Another option is to just play the game as intended, a passive game you don’t grind. But to each their own, I respect the love for grinding through games.

u/problematisksild 15h ago
yeah i get that, i just dont really enjoy gaming that much and i dont like sitting inside alone for hours so ill usually just play for 1-2 hours then go do stuff, so i dont have the time for it yk

u/tonyisgaming 1d ago
I mean you can argue it’s bad from a standpoint that you’re going to get tired of the game quicker. I’ve found that’s always the case when cheating.

u/problematisksild 15h ago
yeah thats why i dont just cheat in everything. the game has unimaginably horrible pacing because its a literal idle mobile game. such interesting gameplay to sit and click the resources once every 3 minutes while doing quests

Look at his other posts on his profile. Everyone of them crops out his quantum’s. Wonder why 🤔

Nope, didn't pay for any in-game purchase here.
I had five P+7 and one P+6 outfits, and also some crafting time reduction pet, so I cranked one out in under 2m 30s. No need to spend money for nuka cola on crafting. I do have 700+ of them anyways, and had 1000+ at a point, but I started spending nuka-cola to bring back explorers quickly from wasteland, so as to collect the required junk to craft those weapons at the earliest.
So in a way I did spend my nuka-cola quantums during the process, but did not buy those
As I had already read about the new weapon's recipe, I knew what junk is required to craft it, so I started saving those up (even before I had the blueprints myself). Also I had a lot of rare weapons and outfits that I scrapped to obtain the junk. So when I finally got that recipe, I already had a lot of the junk required, and started production very quickly, producing 60+ weapons within the first day. But after that I had no shovel junk left, which I had to collect over the next week or 10 days to finally go over 100+ weapons crafted.
So, this was not achieved by spending real world money, just a pre-planned production and a lot of time spent in the game earlier collecting resources.

If everything you’re saying is true. You’re basically proving my point. It’s either you bought Nukas or did the impossible… I don’t know if I’m impressed at collecting 700-1000 Nuka Quantum’s or sad about the future of this country when our citizens are literally handing away all of their attention to a silly phone game. Honestly, I’d rather you bought them. I was rooting for you. Now I’m sad.

Bro you got your first legendary twins 12 days ago and every post has your quantum’s cropped out. Now you’re admitting what you have because someone called you out. Stop trying to pretend you achieved something in a 2D mobile game. It’s not only a bad sign of character it’s also unhealthy for the rest of this Reddit. You’re encouraging people to attempt to do the impossible and hurt themselves in the process. Gaining Quantum’s in the game requires lots of time and actively playing the game. You can’t get 700 Quantum’s without literally actively playing the game for over 1000 hours. Tell me, why did you decide to post 12 days ago when you have that much time played?

Oh Yes, most Legendary weapons will outperform the AP BOS Assault Rifle, but it's just the best option for dwellers until we can craft a lot of legendaries.

u/PoorLifeChoices811 2d ago edited 2d ago
I’ve yet to even get one. Not a single blueprint either.
I have every single other weapon blueprint in the game but I keep getting duplicate blueprints from quests 😭
Edit: actually nvm. I got on the game immediately after making that comment and my dweller returning from the wasteland just gave me a bunch of blueprints for the gun

u/TheUndeterredAstral Vault 365 (normal) 2d ago
😅 exactly, the game just waits for players to rant about it somewhere, then gives it away immediately 😂

u/PoorLifeChoices811 2d ago
That’s how it was with Norm and Chet lmao. People were getting them so I made a comment like wtf and then immediately got them after logging on

I’m on PC through Steam and my understanding is no updates in years, so I will never see this
1
u/TheUndeterredAstral Vault 365 (normal) 1d ago
😔 Hope they do add updates everywhere.
But we don't know if there are enough players on other platforms for the developers to shift their resources towards porting game to other platforms. Revenue source limitations on other platforms will also be the reason, I am pretty sure mobile device ads make them more money than in-game purchases nowadays 😅
