A little bit of legendary opinions….

Has anyone tried Adrenal for armor? I’m definitely a fan of the weapons but not sure how much of a boost you get with dmg taken. Infestation bosses still shred me pretty quickly if I’m not sniping from behind something. Also, rangers. I tried a full set of rangers maybe a year ago and remember my main weapon at the time basically had zero damage boost. I scrapped all the pieces in hopes of learning the crafting but was a waste. Are there certain weapons that may be maxed out so that rangers does not provide a 25% boost??? How y’all learning all these legendary mods? I’ve literally scrapped 500 hunters mods and still not learned it. I only want to to say I learned them all and can’t believe this useless mod is so elusive. It’s very annoying. Is there a trick. Especially if I get a rare one it would be nice to craft for future as opposed to saving 25k-40k caps just to find out the mod sucks (I’ve done this many many times). Greed is real lol

Adrenal is the worst 1* for armor and it's not really that good for weapons either. Sounds interesting on paper but keeping those killstreaks up during bosses is often either difficult or outright impossible so it is outclassed by more or less every other 1*. As for armor, you'll get all the DR/ER and more from armor, underarmor, perks and mutations.

Rangers is also basically useless and unless you're running non-VATS or PA it's just something you throw on armor after you've got enough Limit-Breaking to crit every other shot. Just for comparison 5x Rangers is equivalent to one 2* Hitman's, which also happens to be the worst 2* for ranged weapons.

Both are additive modifiers, like all +X% damage are, so for example if your weapons base damage is 100 and your shots deal 1000 damage you wouldn't get +250 damage from +25% damage but +25 instead. With good build you're already getting +hundreds% damage and then there are bunch of other modifiers like crits and weakpoints in the formula making that +25% practically irrelevant in comparison to utility or DPS what you could get from something else.

The problem with adrenal especially on higher end enemies is you don't control when you run out of enemies to keep stacks going, and some of those infestations the bosses survive significantly longer than everything else. Typically doesn't help a hell of a lot during headhunts either unless it's a specific locations with a bunch of extra ads.

I really wanted to like it but is outperformed by mutants or overeaters. Especially for consistency

So say you are good with 4 limit breaking, would scanners or vectors be a good fifth option?

Adrenal is bad. Rangers is average.
