I have a double-shot laser sniper rifle that isn't very accurate and a legendary double-shot Gauss rifle that does plenty of damage but is awful trying to hip-fire because of the charge up time involved.

Preston Garvey finally ran out of things for me to do so I am going around and fixing up my settlements and assigning supply line duties. The last time I was at The Castle I found a corpse lying there so IDK what happened. Last night I got a message that my quest to defend The Castle has failed so I guess I will find some more dead settlers there. I didn't even get a notice that The Castle was under attack. It is heavily defended with Maching Gun and Laser turrets so I have to conclude that the population there is a bunch of idiots and I didn't need them anyway. R.I.P. Castle settlers. LOL

 

I didn't think he would ever run out of quests to do. Then again once all the settlements are established what good is he. LOL
 
I have not done the Castle quest yet. I took a Queen Mierlurk out elsewhere and I WAS dancing from position to position avoiding her long range spit and that was tough.
 
Regarding the Fail notification. I am looking more and more at the Pip Boy for settlement under attack notices because I am missing too many of them.
 
Is there anything special about the Castle that it gets its own quest?

So it sounds like a one and done shoot and then you go to another weapon to continue the fight.

I gotta say, I'm stuck with Cait too. And the downfall too (SPOIL ALERT) ------------------ I cleansed her with that machine in Vault 75(???). So now, every time I take any drugs, she dislikes it....

I just snatch all of the Psycho so she doesn't have a relapse. LOL
I found a vid on how to get a secret Sniper rifle. I haven't tried to get it yet.
 

Hmm curious. I will definitely take a look at this.

Not the best in game, best against the sea creatures though... the best one is a random drop off of a legendary mod and thats random, normally the two shots... or those that increase damage on limbs.

got a sniper rifle that does double damage if out of combat, though maybe the two shots are better...

Looking at that pic it looks like the double damage was done to her arm. LOL

There are a lot of areas to explore there. I think it used to be a Minuteman Outpost that needs to be rebuilt. I didn't do a whole lot with it except build a generator for the recruitment beacon and gave it some new cannons along with some machine gun and laser turrets. It apparently need some more settlers after yesterday's slaughter. IDK how to get rid of the corpses. I can't vaporize them with my Alien Blaster. I can't pick them up or kick them out of the way either. I guess they are now permanent fixtures like full sized garden gnomes?

"Cannons"? I ask this as I am carrying around 10 cannon balls and they are classified as ammo and do not carry the weight penalty or display what the recycle break down is.
 
I tried moving those ghouls and was successful until they came back. LOL What I do now is after a battle, I then remove the bodies. If I had known then that I could remove bodies I would have done it immediately. The ash piles are there to stay.
 
One of the settlements I cleared out I took the bodies to the river and gave them a toss. They just stayed there, in the water, not going with the current. But I did find out that even though they are dead they still produce loot. LOL

I picked up a lot of cannon balls so I could scrap them. There is supposed to be a Naval Cannon you can carry around as a weapon but I haven't found it yet. It is probably in the Final Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution quest. I guess I'd better do that next before collecting my XP from the Institute or BOS for missions I already finished.

I haven't done that quest either. Maintaining settlements is a full time job and I do want them out of the way. Besides, when following the games story line, for me, it would end too early. It acts as an incentive to keep going and adds to the fun/entertainment value.

The USS Constitution mission was great. One of the best quests in the game.

Did you get the 'Broadsides' weapon for it? Supposedly you have to choose between siding with the crew or the Raiders. I sided with the Captain and the crew and I must have hit one of them with a stray round because they suddenly turned on me and tried to kill me. I just loaded a previous save and decided to go back to it later. I am about to try it again today. I hate Raiders so maybe I should just go around and kill all of them first before the battle begins.
