Atom's Champion
Fallout 4
Radiated Melee Executioner
build
Published

Pick up your weapon Dweller and bask in His glow, for only He can save you in this new world...

A build I made for myself, a real Leroy Jenkins kind of style, possibly not the best build for survival and no so OP but feel free to change things around and have fun. This was mainly built without using VATS in mind.
