I know what you mean. I try to keep my carry load fairly light and realistic. Usually one maybe two pistols, a rifle, a melee, and a handful of grenades. Also, I love gadgets. So I try to bring nightvision/thermal devices, a mod that lets me deploy a gun turret drone, binocs, the TAC, a radar device, and a toothbrush.

I'm the hoarder type of character. I dread every DLC where I loose my items. I carry around 180lbs of weapons and armor I never use and the rest ammo for said weapons I never use.

I usually bring whatever is my favorite armor (DT/DR doesn't matter I'll adjust my tactics)
One of each type of energy weapon,either a Fatman,Annabelle,or Red Glare,my Selenaire AMR, one or two grenades (frag and plasma),one melee weapon (it varies),and whatever I've picked up in between visits to my Vault..

Bring a power armor, any assault rifle, maybe a shotgun and one pistol. A couple of grenades and stimpaks and doctors bag.
I like to travel with just what I need, so I can pick up a bunch of loot and sell it.

Hehe,i use 1 set of power armor with the impervious power armor,then i'd carry a caravan shotgun,but i don't worry about chems,and i play on hardcore while using TTW...

Very impressive guys, I didn't expect this thread to have answers more than 3 lines per post.

Ugh, let me see:
LAER with tons of microfusion cells + 2 same LAER with good condition.
Sunset Sarsaparilla, maybe 50x of them.
Some Weapon Repair Kits and Stimpacks.
3x Gecko Kebab
5x Doctor Bags
and a Power Armor, likely T45d one.

Using one weapon, the LAER likely my favourite energy weapon.

This guy..

FNP-45:

Though, more like trying him out. Finished putting him together, but not liking how he's turning out. :O

I LOVE the look of that bad boy, I am currently using the same pistol but in a tanned version which i got from the nexus, that wouldn't happen to be yours would it?

Oh no. Eprdox's mod has an FNX-45. I'm modding in an FNP-45. In 2 other frame colors, too.

Make sure you tell me when you release it (if you do) i'd love to have one, it looks great.

MoDDeRAus, we'll see. It'll maybe be after I figure out what I want to do with a new weapon pack I'm working on. Weapons that wouldn't really have anything in common with each other or belong to specific families of guns would go in it. I won't be doing single releases, but maybe something in the style of Dragbody's armor packs. Just a big mod for exotic weapons.

Yeah it also depends if it'll be a public release, but i reckon as you said an "Exotic weapon pack" would be nice, anyway we're getting off topic here ;d

For my main character, I usually carry a pistol and a sniper rifle or a DMR. I typically use my pistol first before the other weapon. Recently I've switched to carrying a carbine, but I've carried a shotgun before as well. Slugs of course.

For chems, I carry stimpacks, Rad-X, and Radaway, and I also carry some Antivenom if I'm using my normal heart instead of the mechanical one you get from OWB.

More recently, I've downloaded a gas mask mod from the Nexus for when I go into irradiated areas. I tend to carry light for a more realistic feel, even though almost everything I use is pretty much lore-breaking or just impractical in terms of protection.

If I go into the wasteland and I think about playing like a survivalist, then I travel light. For armor, I wear the desert ranger combat armor from HH. For weapons, I run with big boomer, a light shining in darkness, ranger sequoia, survivalist's rifle, and the spitfire's thunder mod (I've never seen a better unique anti-material rifle mod). I bring rad-x, radaway, and stimpaks. That's my loadout when I feel like playing a survivor.

A large capacity handgun (Maybe like a Beretta?) and a double barrel shotgun (Like the Duplet from
Millenia, easy to maintain and reloading it would be quick with enough practice) would be the weapons I would carry. I would try to avoid any radioactive beasts so I won't have to carry around some heavy weapon and it's ammo.

I would just wear the Light-Geonox Riot armor, because it's tough but nothing that would hinder one's own agility.

As for consumables, stims and radiation supplies. A canteen too probably.

That's what I would bring if I was trying to play as a "Survivalist".
