Wasteland 3 Builds: Submachine Scientist

Wasteland 3 Builds: Submachine Scientist
In this Wasteland 3 Builds Guide I’m going to be showing you my Submachine Scientist Build which uses exclusively Submachine Guns to waste its enemies in a flurry of elemental bullets. Wasteland 3 can be extremely overwhelming for new players and can cause confusion for veterans alike. In this Build Guide, I’ll explain just how to make this Build, including what weapons to use, what Skills to take, and which Perks to pick up. If you’ve been looking for a Submachine Gun Build then check this one out!

The Submachine Scientist uses Submachine Guns that deal Energy Damage and Fire Damage to do increased damage no matter what enemy type they are facing. Energy Damage is excellent against machines, and Fire Damage is brilliant vs. organic enemies. No matter which you face, you simply swap weapons to get the added increase to damage.

On top of that, you’ll gain even further damage by investing in Weird Science, which gives you a 3% damage increase per point with these damage types. And on top of that Microwave Research boosts your damage even more! You simply do a ton of damage with this Build!

For anyone coming back to this guide in 2024, Wasteland 3 has had a lot of patches and updates, namely a lot of these perks now work with assault rifles (Stormer), or straight up don't work with SMGs anymore (Gopher Hunter).

[ImmaJellal]

One correction: Gopher Hunter only works on Assault Rifles and is therefore wasted

[JonnyPeace]

Loved your Divinity 2 builds. Loving your wasteland 3 builds. Keep them coming.

[olivers]

I love these guides if for nothing else the clarity around all of the information the game throws at you. The builds are usually a blast and you get me thinking outside of the box for my own builds.

[HelmutKohlrabi]

Would be nice if you made a guide for an entire party that covers all the skill checks while still being decent on higher difficulties

[fakeigniz]

You can do this with HMG as well, might be better for it as you don't need to be as mobile.

Also, 7 points in toaster repair gives bonus fire damage

I like the explosive version more. The PDW-01 (from Massacre Site location) is a unique SMG with explosive damage. I use it with the -1 AP magazine mod on a character with Explodomaniac (+15% damage), Serial killer and Explosive skill (+50% damage). I can finish whole fights in the first round just with this character. Kill an enemy for +6 AP, move 5 spaces for another free shot and shoot more until the strike meter is filled up and then kill the whole room with Torrent Strike ability.

I'm waiting for your assault rifle build, leader, and Melee 🙌🏽

[codenamedeth]

Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes another awesome build as usual. I can’t wait to see a melee one. Thank you guys for all your hard work!!!

[Neonmirrorblack]

This is extremely close to the build I came up with on my own with my own "Mechanic" build who is primarily a mechanic with equal subs in Nerd Things, and Weird Science. Those were also the same stats I focused on too. I maxed out Coordination and Awareness first, then raised Intelligence. Kept Automatics at 3 though while I built up the other skills, and he's actually been using submachine guns primarily since there wasn't really anything else (unmodded) great against organics, and for inorganics I ised the Mesa Cannon until later. Also the gun you can find early that allows you to make enemies go crazy was pretty useful too when swarmed.

[NolaGamer]

Another excellent guide. I play the same type of games that you play. I always use your guides and the least I can do by subscribing to your Twitch channel. Plus you're the only person I subscribe to on Twitch.

[iamtheblackwizard]

I'm loving every build, keep 'em coming.

[WooBunny]

Great build and watch as usual, thank you for your hard work.

Only thing that can improve this is actually Toast repair 7 for the +fire damage. Tho not as necessary as your other stuff, its a good one to have.

[Noogi]

Id like to see a good leadership build.

[blvcfrday]

I like that you included a written guide 👍

[jonathanbernardi]

Another excellent build, keep ´em coming! Loving this game, perfect while waiting for CP2077.

[ThePerro]

Thanks for these guides! Such imaginative builds, I’m over here with a basic assault rifle / rocket launcher combo lol

[cursedmonkey]

A rifleman leader would be super helpful. Thank you for these. They will help a lot.

[hey_i_am_nero]

Try out serial killer for more ap per turn and adrenal enhancer for the +1, 0 combat speed, which is like 9 points in speed :)

As long as you kill something this results in more speed and action points, per turn than with your quirk + anabolic injector. Also you don't get negative stats on evasion

[yangmattisson]

I think serial killer + trigger happy is better for this. Make sure u try and always get the last hit and u can move around alot and shoot alot.
