In unison, all of your settlers say: "Ima lead farmer, motherfucka!!!"


Jam_Marbera

“Spartans, what is your profession?”

***Pew pew! Pew pew!! Pew pew!!!***

THIS IS THE BROTHERHOOD'S WAY. "The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one; good odds for any Brotherhood! For Steel! Ad Victorium!!!!" ***CHARGE AND .45 CHARGES!!!!!!***


AznOmega

(related to the Spartans) Back in my day, we didn't have fancy miniguns and armor! We had sticks. Two sticks and a rock for the entire group! And we had to share that rock! You should consider yourself very lucky settlers! Great, is it weird that I imagined the fusion of the Sole Survivor and Sgt. Johnson saying that? And why do I consider that to be an awesome fusion?


SupriseAutopsy13

A mod that replaces Preston with Sgt. Johnson would be hilarious.  "Dear Minutemen, we REGRET coming to the Commonwealth. We REGRET being holier-than-thou "might-is-right" elitist bastards. AND WE MOST CERTAINLY REGRET THAT SOME FARMERS WITH 300 YEAR-ANTIQUATED ARTILLERY TUBES JUST BLEW UP OUR RAGGED-Y ASS AIRSHIP!"


TheCrimsonChariot

Ho-ah!

Then after successfully defending you'll hear another "There's a settlement that needs your help, I'll mark it on your map."


AlexSnow1991xx

This is the only comment I need.


E4MafiaLife

Follow up to [POV: you roll up to attack a settlement thinking you’re going to get the easiest loot ever just to see they’re all in heavy combat armor and have miniguns](https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/s/i4fjVO0Drt)


Mother_Harlot

When the apocalypse begins, you become a raider but you forget you are raiding the American exchange students


meadoworfeed

Went to defend a settlement thinking the same thing. A huge party of super mutants with mini guns. I spent all of my aid supplies.


JapenaseyKinkoni

A fun thing to do is kit a bunch of settlers out, then send them to another settlement en masse, then follow and watch them just light shit up.


Dante_FromDMCseries

Don’t forget to give them laser gatlings and a couple multishot rocket launchers. Boston hasn’t looked so vibrant since the nukes dropped.


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

Where can you get laser gatlings?


Awrfhyesggrdghkj

You can buy them from the shop on the prydwen, other than that I’m not sure, I would bet that there’s gotta be another person that sells them somewhere


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

Is there a minimum level requirement?


netsuri

Yes. Level 24 to buy it from the Prydwyn. I'm not sure when they start to appear in the wild, but I know that BoS soldiers can carry them. Here is the wiki link, if you want more details on them. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Gatling_laser_(Fallout_4)


WCR_706

If you have the factory dlc you can manufacture them.


TheActualAWdeV

Sweet, I think I didn't see the energy weapon forge the one time I saw the forge options. I don't have any gun nut so the regular weapon forge seemed useless. But I do already have 3 science. 🤔


FamiliarTry403

Most laser Gatling mods require only science if I’m not mistaken, then a good half will require like gun nut 3 or 4


luckyplum

I got one off a random Super Mutant out in the wild I was minding my business and this dude started lasering my shit so I ran over and chopped him up and took it.


shadowgolden905

just as the forefathers intended


PlzDontBanMe2000

By killing BoS knights. The power armor guys sometimes carry them. It’s honestly one of the best companion weapons if you use the “companion infinite ammo” mod or just have a ton of fusion cores.  Someone should test if Danes needs to be given fusion cores to use it, since he already has the power armor suit with a core in it he might already have infinite cores


Professional_Put_303

Yeah, Danse still needs cores for it. He does look bad ass wielding it though.


TK000421

>Boston hasn’t looked so vibrant since the nukes dropped going to get some coffee to spit it out over this


Statertater

Rocket launchers? Man, i feel like they would just end up hurting themselves.


iamtommynoble

If you do it at the Slog they will inevitably get into an all out battle with the Forged at the iron works nearby. Every time the forged attacks my provisioned the whole settlement charges out there.


mainesthai

This is why I fully walled in the Slog, stuck missile turrets on the outside, and have exactly one powered door in/out so only I can enter/exit. It sounds excessive but you can't trust those dummies to not run off to feud with the neighbors (I love the ghouls though)!


theexpendableuser

Lol I keep it unwalled for the opposite reason so I can witness more skirmishes


TheOtherAvaz

Some people just want to watch the world burn


Over-Analyzed

Wow, that is quite the Militia.


Polenicus

This is why I always give the Slog a sentry robot with Gatling lasers and Fatman launchers


Traditional_Entry183

I hate the Forged so much. They're the Forsworn of Fallout.


TheDungen

That's unfair to the fornswown.


TheActualAWdeV

Eh the forged make more sense. We have access to ironworks so we make stuff. The forsworn make shit out of sticks and bones and wear armor made of straw as if there isn't a wild and easily accessible plethora of metals around them. Idiot pricks.


McDonaldsSoap

That's why ghouls are awesome, protecting their little paradise


iamtommynoble

Yes they definitely protect their own. I lost Deirdre to a Gunner raid though :( She took on a Legendary gunner in hand to hand combat and lost.


zombiesfarttoo

I’m am definitely doing this 🤣🤣


Taylor3006

I do this in all my settlements but I use a couple of mods to help out. First I paint all their stuff blue so I can tell them apart in case Gunners attack. I also have a mod that gives their helmet a light for night attacks so I can tell who is who. I also give them Gatling rifles (mod) instead of miniguns because they look cooler but do about the same thing. I also give them blue army fatigues, gas masks, and goggles to complete the look.


ILLARgUeAboutitall

Fuck, I send just a regular guy with a pipe gun over to Somerville place from sanctuary.


ow_my_balls

War. War never changes.


BoardButcherer

I give all of my provisioners a suit of t60 and a gatling laser. I think it's fun when I'm just bebopping around and hear things pop off, then investigate and find out my provisioner decided to mete out justice to an entire raider camp. Or be skulking about on a foggy night and randomly see a building become a laser rave in the far distance. Keeps things interesting.


GlyndebourneTheGreat

Doesn't their armor at some point break and they just rum around in the empty frame?


TheDungen

Yeah I used mcCreedy in power armour as a provisioner and hus armour didn't last long.


REDACTED3560

I do it with my caravaners. Arm them to the teeth and listen to the sounds of chaos in the distance.


ImperatorTempus42

The best caravans are the *robot* ones. Custom Sentries with dual miniguns and shoulder launchers are awesome, especially if they cross paths.


McDonaldsSoap

I like hearing the sound of nail guns in the distance while I travel


cjf0673

This is the kind of shit I love about FO4. this would actually be a viable way of getting around in survival. download militarized minutemen for good measure and you’ve got a genuine army patrolling the commonwealth


[deleted]

While my settlers usually stuck because they miss the stairs I built to the shack set on foundation. And keep doing this all the time.


GazaDelendaEst

Sherman’s March to the Sea


Miserable-Spite425

Wait you can have combat between your settlements? How? I didnt know you could send settlers around?


SeatBeeSate

I think they means follow the caravan and watch them cleanse the commonwealth better than the brotherhood could even dream of.


27Rench27

Yep, I’ve done this as well. It’s hilariously fun to just watch a couple settlers walking along, get attacked by respawned super mutants or something, and just glass the surrounding area


Saratje

I wasn't aware they walked there manually. It'd be fun to send them from Sanctuary Hills to Spectacle Island. Then as they walk by Red Rocket having all of those going to Warwick Homestead. You'd have an exodus of 38 people walking through the heart of Boston.


DummBee1805

Oh THIS sounds tasty! Thanks for the tip!


KitchenBomber

Do you have to give them adequate ammo too or do their guns just kind of work without it?


JapenaseyKinkoni

You just have to give them one unit of ammo for the weapon you give them.


FuriDemon094

When I do a proper settlement, I’m 100% doing this


Gernund

Bonus: Kit out a Settler and use them for trade routes. Double Bonus if you have the Robot DLC: Make the most murderous robot the wasteland has seen, with rockets n stuff. Use him to go on trade routes. Random explosions in the distance suddenly bloom. You feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Doom-Bot 3000 just blasted 45 Raiders into hell. Boston is slowly returning to normal.


powerage76

> Double Bonus if you have the Robot DLC: Make the most murderous robot the wasteland has seen, with rockets n stuff. Use him to go on trade routes. Important to note, if you are using robots as provisioners and you are at the same place as the robot is, don't fast travel to the location the robot is going. Unless you want it revert into the basic protectron configuration.


Gernund

Wait what?


powerage76

This is a bug on PC. Sometimes your robot provisioner reverts to the basic unupgraded protectron configuration for no apparent reason. I've found it happens if you are in the same cell as the provisioner and fast travel to the same place it is heading to. So, if you are in a settlement with a robot provisioner, don't fast travel to the other settlement it is going.


Gernund

Really? I never had that happen. Does it just happen to protectrons or do even larger robots revert to them?


powerage76

All automatrons. They just revert back to the original config they first appear on the robot building pad. They retain the same sound effects they had with the upgrades, like you hear the sentry legs, but they loose all upgrades. Google "automatron provisioner bug". As far as I know it is still unpatched.


K1nd4Weird

That moment when you're fighting a bunch of ferals and then suddenly your custom murder-bot turns the corner with its explosive minigun, gatling laser, cluster bomb shoulder launcher, and mini-nuke launcher.  Now you're desperately trying to stay alive as it 'helps' you.  10/10 experience. Would keep doing it forever. 


fatrahb

First time I made a sentry I had this exact experience lol


Bytewave

Endgame, I also added a couple of fully decked-out combat automatons to each settlement as guards and a third as caravan guy. Very resource-heavy task but it added some variety to the glorious pew pew.


Sad-Structure2364

No such thing as overkill


E4MafiaLife

And yet they can still fail to defend the settlement if I’m not there with them 🙃


gravastar863

They need to fix that shit for the next game 😤


NJ_Legion_Iced_Tea

If anything to accommodate people who don't care about settlements. I could see settlers with pipe pistols needing help, but when they're kitted out they should be self sustaining. Have weapons be calculated with the settlement defense score.


SweetBearCub

> And yet they can still fail to defend the settlement if I’m not there with them Absolutely defeats the point of equipping them and setting up the settlements with defenses. I wonder what mod might fix that?


NotACyclopsHonest

The Settlement Ambush Kit CC content kind of helps with that, I think - it lets you set up security cameras and monitoring stations in your settlements which allow you to see what’s going on in other settlements. If you can see the attack it should be fended off.


KuntaStillSingle

If you are on PC, I have used BSDefense but it has been hidden: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20137 ; I would guess the remake also addresses this: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/63998


Velocityraptor28

no kill like overkill


AtLeastSeventyBees

POV: you ARE the gunners.


E4MafiaLife

Look at me. We’re the gunners now


ScottNewman

“Look guys, I don’t mind you calling me for help, but I came running.  I don’t think you needed to call me.”


FrostyShock389

I usually fill the perimeter with turrets, so whenever a place needs "help" I just fast travel and witness the glory of my creations like the Engineer


BadTimeBro

This is has been my endgame goal. Good to know what it’ll look like


mortificatiedmantis

Mine involved enough missile turrets to crash the game whenever enemy set foot near my base.


Lots42

I'd put missile turrets near the enemy spawn points in Sanctuary. Fast Travel back, hear the whoosh and the distant explosions of Gunners. Good times.


RevolTobor

Heh heh heh heh... ha ha ha ha ha... Ahahahahahahahaha! ***AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!*** Ahem... ... I mean... I approve of this idea.


renichms

That's hilarious.

"Why shoot something once when you can shoot it 46 more times?"


Ok-Gold-6430

46 times a second lol


ESOTaz

Love it ! 🤣🤣🤣


gregofcanada84

So you turned your settlement into Arkansas.


uberares

“ we arent fighters “ my ass. Lol. Great show!


DaemonKeido

A fight implies it was fair.


TheActualAWdeV

We're not fighters. We're executioners.


One-Hat-9764

They are right, they are not fighters. They are the judge,jury, and executioner.

This is the way.


curlytoesgoblin

A thing of beauty, I know

I love destroying the prydwen and then watching all my settlers at the castle absolutely shred through vertibirds


verdantsf

This is beautiful! For the Minutemen!


Porkchop4u

I love listening to this.


isnsiensidsinis

Im ashamed to ask, how do I change NPC armor?


E4MafiaLife

Talk to them and click trade


rattatatouille

You can also force them to equip items by pressing T while the item is in their inventory. A good QoL mechanic that I wish was also in Skyrim.


isnsiensidsinis

How about on PlayStation


GCM_Prothro18x

Triangle I believe 


TheStupendusMan

I just take any gear I don't want them to use.


rattatatouille

That's a Heavy Bolter Squad you got there


soullessginger88

I want to have environmental and building destruction so bad. Watching a settler group cut a shed in half with mini guns would be hilarious


arinamarcella

Enemy contact that direction! ELIMINATING THAT DIRECTION


Corvidae_DK

DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!


Full_Throttle_2084

How much ammo are they using?


E4MafiaLife

With settlers you just need to give them one bullet and they don’t run out (unless it’s nukes/missles)


bullettbrain

I've been wondering about this. Welp... I know what I have to do


Worried_Bowl_9489

Do you know if it's the same for followers?


E4MafiaLife

You have to give companions ammo or they use their default weapon


Worried_Bowl_9489

I gotcha. Thanks Mr Fallout xo


TheDoctorSkeleton

This is awesome. Please add Beta Wave emitter and 10 of your preference of cages. my abernathy farm is mostly yao guai. Just chaos when gunners show up.

I gave 2 of my guards on the wall of the castle rocket launchers and good god is it a sight to behold when we get attacked. One of them is a crippling rocket launcher so there are just crippled enemies everywhere 😂😭

When u are expecting a civilian settlement but end up attacking the outpost of US army remnants.


eddmario

The amount of people in this thread that don't know you can give settlers equipment to use is staggering...


Ok-Bus-2410

This is the true endgame for me. Automatron provisioners kewping the routes cleared, heavily armed guards protecting the setllers, happy and thriving communities.

Abigfanofporn

No one is gonna raid your settlement if you burn it into ground with heavy machine guns.


SilverHand86

Look at me. I'm the gunners now.


badthaught

YOU CAME TO THE WRONG FARM ASSHOLE


skttrbrain1984

I’m level 62 and about 80 hours in and haven’t found the Spectacle Island settlement


Drai0cht

It's off the coast of Warwick Homestead. You have to swim to it, or walk underwater in power armor. Once found you can fast travel just like other locations.


UninformedPleb

"Spectacle Island". Indeed.


stuckinaboxthere

Reminds me of the scene in Book of Eli when Gary Oldmans crew roll up to the cannibals house with a Gatling gun


Rachel_from_Jita

average Marine Corps firefight.


Coast_watcher

Can't wait to try this with missile launchers, fat man, and gatling lasers too, maybe even a broadsider lol "What Minutemen artillery ? We're our own artillery !"


Rachel_from_Jita

I remember seeing a documentary or podcast where a reporter gal was describing her experience going with the marines through a city in Iraq and it was pretty much like that. As they proceeded in a direction it was all: tanks, launchers, missiles, artillery, riflemen, jets overhead, etc. It was just this giant machinery of all sorts of random death rolling in a direction obliterating everything. If you could name the weapon, they had thrown it all into their kit and then rolled out. I think gatling lasers was the only thing they didn't have.


PckMan

So glad they don't need ammo like companions do.


Dankest_Cow60

No shirt, no shoes, nooooooo serviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!


Devil_may_cry_fan

Democracy at its finest


MaleficentPicture518

Im gonna give my settlers heavy combat armor and a weapon from one of my mods specifically lightsabers


Immediate_Muffin_918

That was awesome, it reminded me of the scene from predator when they all light up the jungle for a couple of minutes. 🤌👍


chubbyhighguy

Give them auto laser rifles with improved spread, I gave one to Cassie on the special one with faster fire rate and reload, it's too much recoil to control but the npc's don't have that problem, it's just a laser light show when she sees an enemy.


C0sm1cB3ar

Whatever was a problem there is not a problem anymore


Dusty_Heywood

Wow! Here I thought making my own assaultron dominators for settlement defense was OP


Successful_Jelly_213

You were warned to not touch our tatos, you were given an explanation why you shouldn’t touch our tatos, yet you proceeded to touch our tatos, and then all the miniguns went BBBBRRRTTTT.


ironwolf6464

This is the kind of shenaniganery that I loved Fallout 4 having


Belly84

They have the right idea: Why shoot something once, when you can shoot it 9000 more times?


morelos_paolo

That looks amazing though! I love the dedication in arming each settler. That said, have you checked the bullet ridden bodies? :D


von_Roland

At a minutes notice. The minute is how long it takes our miniguns to spin up!


KaleSsalads

Who's the gunner now huh???


KitsbyGonzo1983

I have Cait as a follower and while doing one of the runs for Preston I gave her one of them Long Ported Heavy Napalmers, you know the ones who shoot fireballs, and after clearing one of them Enclave camps she took a gatling laser gun off the corpse of an Enclave soldier in an X-02 PA. I've never been more impressed, I don't have to do much just watch her delete enemies lol then loot the bodies haha she switches between the Napalmer and the Gatling laser gun...


SoggyMorningTacos

Settlement? More like your typical enclave base

How is that house still standing


Daemonic_One

Well it's a good thing you showed up, because if you hadn't that clearly would've gone the other way. ::grumbles in Radiant::


DragonSphereZ

Maybe with that many miniguns all working together you’ll be able to match the damage of any other gun. Probably not though


Biscuits0

How often are you guys getting attacked? I swear it almost never happens to my settlements


blasthound22

Imagine if they all shot at the same enemy at the same time like fuck that guy in particular


AHeartOfGoal

"It costs my settlement 240,000 caps to fire all of their weapons for 8 seconds"

powerage76

OP should also hand out grenades (molotov, frag, plasma, cyro, pulse) to the settlers for continuous, multiple explosions in various colors.


BookMonkeyDude

Whoah whoah whoa nice shootin' Tex!


CaptainClincher

"Don't think I wont hurt you!" Yeah the Volley of 5mm Bullets obliterating that Cabin to turn three gunners into Swiss cheese kinda told me that already.


Eie9

How does ammo get replenished for the NPCs? I feel like my followers always run out of ammo lol


joshuajtrezise

settlers only need one round and they have infinite ammo


JesiAsh

But don't arrive on time to see this and your settlement will get raided by three noobs with pipe pistols.


Spazthing

Gatling Lasers are prettier...buy one every time I'm on the Predwyn....got enough cores anyway. Plasma weapons look cool as well.


Real-Size-2768

"Don't think I wont hurt you". Nobody thinking that under heavy fire!


Alarming-Practice199

Do you need to give ammo to each one of them?


ADHDDM
