Weapons to Get You Started
Fallout 4 is a very large RPG with many different types of enemies to take care of. Due to the abundance of baddies, there is also an abundance of different weapons to use. Naturally, some weapons do better against certain types of enemies than others. This is something you’ll want to keep in mind when going into Automatron.
You’ll want some mines for fast moving robots. They’re good to drop down during a retreat, just make sure you move far away. You’ll also want energy weapons. While explosives are useful against most adversaries, bots are extra sensitive to energy and pulse weapons. Cryo is also useful for slowing anyone down.
If you are still in the beginning of the game, though, focus on energy weapons. They are very easy to come by early on, so you’ll be able to build up a solid arsenal.
