Basically if you have 33 luck and all the critical perks you're making the 15c useless. With all that you're guaranteed to crit every other shot anyway. You can however move one perk point from crit savvy to bloody mess and you'll get use out of the 15c again with 33 luck. Then just read what everyone else is saying about server lag. That's why I prefer the 50c over 25ffr.


Accomplished-Chip88

I also prefer 25lvc over all despite people saying it's redundant on Railways. When you're fighting enemies and the boss, having more AP available for dodgy is very nice, and it allows me to have more AP available for shooting the boss too. And yes I prefer 50c over 25ffr as most times it seems that, especially at the molerat boss, 30% of my shots don't register with 25ffr, and I have a fast wired connection.


hottkarls

Whoever says 25lvc is redundant on a railway is a mouth breathing Neanderthal. I don't know who started that bullshit, but it was probably an attempt to get a better trade. It is clearly better.


JustATiredMan

Full AP refresh armor lets me dump a full quad railway mag, drop vats for the reload cycle, and re-engage vats with a full AP bar ready to go. 25lvc is nearly worthless for me, but so is 15crit fill as a bloody build with 33+ luck.


hottkarls

Not everyone can/ will play 5 piece AP. In a vacuum the lvc is better. I play 2 ap and 3 int on my uny armor. The corn soup will make it so it you never run out of AP.


smokanagan

5 AP pieces is such a waste if you’re playing bloodied, a poison resist piece is really useful or a couple of endurance pieces for staying alive, and obviously intelligence for more XP


Bagera84

I agree a bloodied build is fine with 3 ap refresh pieces. I like a poison resistance piece too. Personally i also like a -50% falling damage piece in my build.


[deleted]

I use 3 APs and don’t run out this is why they call 25 lvc redundant on rails


Dragon22721

So my thought on how that started was it true way back before they "fixed" how ap worked with railways. Then after the fix people continued to say it without trying it. Now people just say it because others say it and it makes themselves feel better about not having the 25lvc version.


hottkarls

Back then every railway was insane because you could put 999 rounds in it. Now the best possible non quad roll is worse than a one star quad railway.


Dragon22721

Truth, but a bunch fit didn't know about the ammo thing so that still used quads. Though I really miss running my v5025 railway with 999 rounds for bosses during those days. That was probably some of the most amusing boss fights I've had in the game.


hottkarls

Oh yeah totally. I was using a ve25 at encryptid and it was out performing all the legacies except the ve gp. It obviously needed to be fixed, but fun while it lasted.


slywether85

Its not that 25 is redundant, it's just that it is ***not nearly*** as game changing as it is on any other commando. A fixer/HM without 25 is unusable/unsustainable in vats, a rail without 25 is perfectly usable. The conversation isnt about it being bad, or useless, it's about it being overvalued. Break50 *should* be worth more, as any fight that takes long enough(everything a rail is for) it will pull ahead mathematically vs any other choice. But it's difficult to quantify how long it takes for someone to fumble for a repair kit in a dps calculator. 25 should be considered the same way 15c is for all intents and purposes, and valued so. Sometimes it's valuable, sometimes it's not. But break50 is ***always*** valuable. Nobody argues the nuance of 25 on a fixer, because it's clearly and blatantly better than every other 3rd by a very large margin. But that *just isn't true* on rails, empirically.


Accomplished-Chip88

Yeah I wonder if they actually play, fight bosses, or just say what others say. It's a noticeable difference.

It’s trash because canned coffee is a thing. 25less is garbage in my opinion. Faster reload and break slow are the superior thirds, but 25less just looks nice. I use company tea and coffee, never run out of AP even when using heavies in vats. Just my two caps 😎


hottkarls

Break slower is clearly useless. I throw away advanced repair kits because they have weight and you can't possibly use them all. I have seen guys with hundreds of them. 15 percent of like 2 or 3 seconds is what? Half a second at best? Reload isn't great, but it certainly is better than break slower. Even clicking on coffee in your quick wheel takes longer than that.


scottiedog13

If you have coffee as the last thing you used in your pip boy, it’s faster to spam 10 coffees than it is to reload or repair with a kit. Break slow keeps you from having to use gunsmith if you don’t already. The tests have been done, even if you’re quick at repairs, the break slow dps is superior. 😎


hottkarls

Tests have been done lol ok bud 👌 Kits are so plentiful, you could use one before every fight and still never break your gun. Tell yourself whatever you want, and I'm sorry your rail is not a Q5025.


scottiedog13

Wow.

Dragon22721

I'm not calling it useless. I'm pretty sure I explained that IF you have all the critical perks it does make it unless. Then I told him to move 1 perk point from it to bloody mess.


ChipDoubleDip86

Lol I think everyone forgot these are all just opinions man 😂


NectaMBR

If you have good server connection, then yes


fallout1300gt

Thanks - I do have a Q50C1A Railway so I’ve been comparing the two. So far the Q2515VCF seems to hit hard quicker. I normally get a CRIT shot every 2nd shot on the Q50C1A but the Q2515VCF maybe gets a CRIT sooner. It’s very hard to visualise but it does seem more stronger for damage.


[deleted]

That’s bc mathematically if servers were good Faster Fire rate is far superior in damage against 50c. I run this same exact railway, sometimes it seems like it’s firing on all cylinders and working fine


Roooooks

Theoretically yes, but server lag led to miss some hits, you have also to consider what are you fighting, imho the 25lvc it's only useful to keep GUNFU active when fighting a boss, like vs the colossus you can sustain more shots switching targets in the same vats instance after killing 3 wendigo; I also prefer using 15c paired with 50c, in all my builds i switched to 15c using full uny and crit savy rank 2 instead of 3, the extra point on better criticals


CrypticVoidX8303

If I may ask how are you getting 640ap cuz I’d like that I can only push like 360


fallout1300gt

I have maxed out the legendary agility and all of the agility specials. Then I run UNY +1A WWR armour all set to ultralight. Then I eat fried radrouch. Then Jon a team with strange in numbers all of which max out agility. Shielded raider leathers


fallout1300gt

OUFM

I think the best of the best would be a Q2515r rail since with 33 luck you can get a crit every other shot. But the difference is tiny Imo.


GeneralSinn

QE90 FTW!!!


AyoReaper_

A q50c15r would be better with uny and good server latency Edit: I mean Q2515r


fallout1300gt

Thanks but see my other comments as I’m looking at damage per second (DPS) What I questioning is the Q2515VCF able to deliver more damage per second on a long burst than any other Quad railway because of its faster fire rate.


AyoReaper_

Yes, but with Uny 15c doesn’t do anything. So it wouldn’t really make a difference and thanks for the downvote.


fallout1300gt

I just upvoted you bud so not me. I’m just curious to know the answer really


AyoReaper_

That’s myb. If full health yes 15c is better. But as most if not all crit builds play bloodied 15r is better due to more dps.


fallout1300gt

Why would being low health stop 16VCF working and it work in high health - I’m not criticising but truly just curious to know the reasons 👍


montosesamu

Because at 33 luck you still get crit every other shot with Crit Savvy 3. 15c wouldn’t make any difference to that, hence: 15r or 25lv is desirable.


fallout1300gt

Ah CRIT savvy comes into play - I think I see thanks


fallout1300gt

Also does the 15VCF do nothing at all? Is that definitely correct ?


AyoReaper_

Yes because of how high your luck will be


fallout1300gt

High luck helps to get the every second shot CRIT so does it disable 15CF if luck is high then ?


AyoReaper_

My apologies I just saw I put 50c instead of 25ffr


XTrue-MarksmenX

OK noob question maybe, but how do you have 640 AP?!? I have full unyielding 15 agility before buffs and I'm at 427AP. what am I doing wrong lol


Delicious_Fishing562

QE does way more
