    Greeting Vault Wanderers! 

    We continue on with the regular segment here in Fallout Character Building. We now have 85 builds and counting between the 3 games! We've recently completed an amazing Building Event - Comic Books which brought interest from all over the site into our budding building community. Moving forward to pass the time until our next character building event,  Noodles and I will be posting weekly themed Fallout character build spotlights with the purpose of shedding light on awesome builds.

    Up next are a few favorites from the melee tag. With a wide variety of brutal weaponry, melee is one of the more popular (25 builds!) ways to navigate the Fallout world. 

    Melee

     

    ATOM'S BULWARK - Amornar

    Meet Atom's Bulwark, a monstrous build tailored to my favorite of all DLCs, Far Harbor. In the vanilla game, our interaction with The Children of Atom left us wanting more. With Far Harbor, we not only learned more but got the opportunity to join this...unique cult.

    Enter Atom's Bulwark. A rad infused zealot chosen by Atom to protect the Holy Fog, cleanse heretics from the land and usher in a new era of division. 

    Amornar cleverly presents three paths for your playthrough, The Zealot, Inquisitor and Cleric. Beautifully presented, well thought out and full of options, Atom's Bulwark makes our Melee spotlight easily, using the one and only Atom's Judgement. This huge irradated power sledge gets a double dose of destruction by pairing Nuclear Physicist with Big Leagues, reaching borderline ludicrous levels of damage. 

    Take some time to read through this epic build and drop Amornar some love and a like!


    THE ATOM CAT - Albino

     Sticking with the theme of "Atoms," Albino gets a nod here in the spotlight with The Atom Cat. I've been a long time fan of Al's work as he really set the standard in FO4 Faction builds within his 9 (yes 9!) Fallout builds on the Vault!

    This build is no different as he takes a relatively small faction, The Atom Cats and masterfully crafts a Shiskebob slinging, Power Armor slaying greaser. 

    When it comes to melee, you can't help but be drawn in by the Shishkebab (I mean, just look at that screenshot!). This flaming sword makes it's way over from FO3, and looks right at home in the hands of the hot-as-fire-painted Atom Cat.

    I hope you take time to look through, not only this beauty, but all of Albino's builds.

     

    THE BLACK WIDOW - Daryl Sawatzky 

    Roleplay as a spider in Fallout 4?! Why not? There is so much to love about this unique build from Daryl. While the Sneak/Blitz/Melee combo is well know to assasains and infiltrators, The Black Widow elevates this combat archetype to an artform.

    Seamlessly weaving cannibalism along side the posionous Kremvh’s Tooth leads directly into the epic "Path of the Spider". This deadly hunter reads and plays as deep as a roleplay build can get. And I love it.

    He even took the time to update the build with Nuka World content! 

    Show Daryl some love for his sleek monster.

    Man, awesome feature. Hadn't seen the Atom Cat before, but I'm glad I did. The aesthetic in that build is off the charts.
