I can see why it would be good with depleted uranium shells, but would regular 0.50cal be any good, given the bots high resistance to damage? People keep telling me how great the Browning M2 gun is against bots. Hopefully I'll be able to afford some acid/EMP grenades and armor piercing rockets. The robot levels of Act 4 didn't turn up much in the way of loot. Since I fucked up and lost an energy weapons specialist, I might as well recruit someone who has *some* combat capabilities. A few good grenades have been made available. I've got a few canisters of acid, so I need to hunt down that special encounter where you can acquire an acid gun. She died fighting a security bot, and I accidentally saved instead of reloading. One of my energy weapons specialists bit the dust. No joke, it took me about a dozen reloads to take out two of these security bots without dying, because they have what must be a 100% accuracy.

The only real threat were Tank bots (which you can easily avoid in Act 4) and security bots with laser rifles. I'm getting the impression I'll need it later down the track. Although it should do electric damage, I suspect it does normal damage instead, since the overload feature only does about 12 damage. For some reason, the electric prodder is useless vs. EMP shells aren't available in Act 4, but I have found that slug shells (with their 80% penetration) are better at hosing bots than energy weapons! A few people have been mentioning EMP shells with a shotgun to waste bots. With power armor and psycho, a character's resistance to normal damage is a ludicrous 105%, meaning that they shrug off virtually all of a humanoid bots damage (unless they score a critical hit ) Ok, so I attempted the first robot level with energy weapons, and it wasn't too bad.
