Oh well in that case, the minutemen can't do **** for dick against deathclaws and make you do all the work. They have zero security on their own, all it took was one traitorous bastard to doom them. If the Sole Survivor didn't come along they would've had their asses handed to them by the raiders. Their only high point was a single battle and that's when they were first created so they weren't even actual minutemen, they're just taking credit. They're a bunch of rag tag losers that bring shame to the term "minutemen".
>One traitorous bastard
When they were already very weak after the death of the last general and the many Minutemen groups split apart due to arguments over the ideals of the Minutemen.
>Can't do **** against Deathclaws
Most ************* can't.
>Ass handed by raiders
Because there was literally one Minuteman left, and he still held that **** like a pro cunt.
>Only high point was one battle where they weren't even minutemen
They were minutemen at the time though, thats just when they became well known and prevalent.
They're not strong, I'll give you that. They don't have amazing weapons or armour. But they are heroes because they are normal people trying to protect innocents for no reason other than to help them. Who does the Institute help? Themselves. Who does the Brotherhood help? Themselves. Who does the Railroad help? Synths, and that, as has been seen, can go completely tits up.
What do you mean they don't have good weapons?
Those laser muskets can pretty much be classified as laser cannons if you upgrade them right.
I gave preston a six crank one and he can pretty much kill anything below a death claw in 1-3 shots (except for mirelurks and their ******* bs shells. Seriously, how the hell can a crab shell stop a direct hit from a rocket launcher?!?!)
Now imagine twenty minutemen armed with six cranks, 10 have focused beams for precise strikes, 10 have scattered for suppressive fire.
I recommend watching tyrannicons raider vs mirelurk queens vs minutemen vs supermutants video. It shows how the minutemen can beat most enemies with the right circumstances.
I know the old lady who unlocks the castle armory spawns with a six crank. And I know the normal ones can spawn with at least a 4 crank. Not sure about any higher cause they refuse to ******* spawn in my game.
