The Kiloton Radium Rifle inFar Harboris this build’s best automatic explosive weapon to pair with yourtype of Power Armor. However, it will take a bit to reach this point, so using a gun like the Overseers Guardian is a good alternative. You can purchase it early in the game from Alexis Combes in Vault 81. Another great alternative is the Spray N' Pray, sold by Cricket at Bunker Hill.

One last tip about using Power Armor inFallout 4. When aFusion Coreis about to be depleted, you must remove it before it hits 0%. You’ll want to do this because an almost depleted Fusion Core has the same value as a fully charged one, meaning you can sell it to vendors for lots of caps when needing to buy a new one.
