Description

Want to have fun with fire? This fighter has crit perks too, and can lead 2 NPC Human Companions by Level 33. He gets a third follower by Level 38 with the proper items (Mentats, Beer, Mirrored Shades, etc).

The obvious choice is the Incinerator, but you can use any Big Gun anytime and still benefit from the crit perks. The Solar Scorcher is a rare weapon that most people assume is an energy pistol, but it works with Pyromaniac, so if you can find one, you can do some serious surprise burn damage. Otherwise, use the Incinerator to send devastating fire bursts at your enemies. Meanwhile, your NPC followers can do damage from more range. Try not to burn them!

His drug plan is important; he needs to use Buffout, Nuka-Cola, and Psycho at all times, to have enough Strength to wield flame-throwers. Beer will boost resistance to incoming damage. His Perception is only 1, but Incinerators are an up-close weapon anyway.

The last Perk shown here is basic Toughness, which should be a good choice for anyone fighting enemies so close, but you can optionally choose Action Boy for a little more speed, or another Lifegiver, or whatever you want.

NOTE: No implants were planned for this build, but if you get some implants, you can Reroll this fighter to take advantage of them.

NOTE: All builds benefit greatly from getting the combat Implants (not available at this time) so this build does not reflect any stats from them. In addition to the ones indicated in this build, it's up to you to decide if you want to add theses:

• Nemean
• Dermal
• Phoenix

Leveling

No tricks in leveling, other than focusing mainly on getting Big Guns to 180 first, to get Bonus Rate of Attack by level 18. Traditionally, many players have had a lot of fun leveling with fire weapons in the western desert on centaurs and floaters. Do not, however, try to kill fire geckos with fire.
