Fallout 76 Melee builds
Builds for blades, blunt weapons and bare fists. Skip the ammo entirely and end fights within arm's reach.
Melee/meme build, but Works with true melee weapons
The idea is to be a tanky wolverine that can afford all the jank that comes with playing melee in FO76 until bethesda reworks it.
This may not be meta but it is the most fun i've had playing melee as i laugh off damage from Big foot and other known heavy one-shotters. A lot of damage with Nerd Rage and unlike Feral Ghoul no toxic goo spam.
Feel free to swap out non-powertool perks for powertool perks if ur running power tools.
Feral ghoul automatic melee attacker.
Purely focuses on melee.
Build focused on Face Tanking anything on the game, the Excavator Power Armor is just for carrying stuff if overcumbered after doing events/bosses... The foods its optional but can help on min/max dps with Auto-Axe, just choose one.
A build that lets you become a wasteland werewolf. (More or less)
This build uses The Pain Train perk and sprinting in power armor to do damage. The Choo Choo's mods are added to the PA to inflict big bleed and trigger Wound Salter and Bloody mess. Exploding Palm and Hack and Slash provide further AOE. Bosses or other high health enemies are dealt with by locking on in VATS and continuing to sprint, causing the player to run a tight circle around them causing repeated BIG hits. Bring canned coffee for longer sprints.
This is build is my chill tank roleplay build. You will see that i wear T-51B but ideaily if you wanted to really max this out. I would wear one of the big 4. Union, Vulcan, hellcat or T-65. But i like wearing T-51B due to the nuka cola skin. Your flex spot here is healing hands. it barely heals you. so i like to replace it with inspiration when i want to get more exp. This build also very good at handling infestations.
High health, high regen, human melee build making use of Farmhand's double-dipping on strength and endurance for AR. All Rise decent substitute due to the unique weapon mod and synergy with the regeneration. Can also apply DOT with Farmhand then do 4 power attacks with All Rise before switching back for marginally more DPS.
This build uses various hidden buffs to optimize Pain Train damage, especially regarding the weapon. To get the best results, you should bring down the durability of the Gatling Plasma to 1%. Note: firing into the air to get bullet storm stacks does NOT cost any durability, just ammo. Notes on the armor: Vulcan is the BIS for this build, but any PA that can have Tesla Bracers will do (no Excav/Ultracite!)
When he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
When he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
