Since you’re going to have to load up on weapons and armor you’ll want to do your best to minimize whatever else you’re carrying. Sneaking around with a Stealth Boy and laying down some mines can do amazing things. This will prevent enemies from rushing you or in the least leave them entirely crippled by the time they reach you. Dealing with melee enemies will be made much easier indoors by using frag mines to line a path. For example you can use Guns and Explosives (Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers) or abuse the crap out of a variety of Energy Weapons (even Flamers).Įven if you’re not planning on using too many explosives you’ll still want to put a good bit into the Explosives skill. But you’ll have to be careful because you will be prone to running out of ammo if you aren’t making good use of multiple skills. If you’re going to put a lot of effort into using Explosives, then take Hit the Deck and Splash Damage to tear through enemy offensives.
If you are planning on using lasers then you’ll find Vigilant Recycler, Tag! Science, Meltdown and Laser Commander to be the most helpful. Your perk progression here is heavily dependant upon how you’re going to play the game.
