The Minutemen are a Weak Faction #memes

I'm sorry Preston Garvey.

I really just made fun of my favorite faction...bruh

[gtaisstillcanceledsoz]

I always hate that the minutemen will still use pipe pistols and clothes even after we just got down fighting the institute

[zp]

I find using the minutemen to get into the institute very comical.

"Hey General, what was it you needed again? Oh yeah, a molecular relay. Just go speak to that country bumpkin who's been hitting that same wall with a hammer for the last 6 months.
He'll get you hooked up".
Now we are a bit short on resources and man power so just gather whatever shit we've got lying around the neighbourhood and we'll build it in the back yard. Good luck General"

The BoS: “NOOOoooOoo we need our special robot to take out the institute.”

The Minutemen on their way to deal with the most technologically advanced faction on the east coast with some farmers armed with sticks:

[thegrayowl]

*Laughs in seven artillery cannons per settlement*

[CursedMoistMan]

Railroad: *"we let you upgrade your basic clothes"*
Institute: *"we give you a free bed and grenades that summon synths"*
Bhos: *"we give you a free power armor set and let you ride a vertibird"*
Minute man: *"hehe funni building"*

[Aldhardt]

Hey man, even the NCR started out as just one building, then Shady Sands. Even the legion started out as a guy captured by some Tribals. Anything can happen.

[CorvoThePlagueDoctor]

Hence why I, as the sole Survivor, go out of my way to max-mod (like in-game gun modification) several different weapon types, along with two armor types, so I can arm every one of my settlers to be able to look and fight like a minuteman

[lemonguy]

*Artillery, the flare gun, and minutemen vertibirds have left the chat*

[Josh-fjhi]

The minutemen was just the game's excuse faction to have you participate in the settlement building mechanic. Now slap my cheeks and call me General because I love me some settlement building

[iceman]

Preston Garvey is basically Yes Man from Vegas. The minutemen exist so that you can say fuck the world and still finish the game.

[doughnutlord]

He gave us plenty of… settlements that need our help god fucking dammit

[mrofficial]

They start as the weakest with not even a single settlement and end as the strongest with artillery factories killer robots giant forts a monopoly on all clean water and standardized equipment (at least in my playthrough)

The minutemen are about what YOU bring to the table. And they’re also the only faction you can side with that have the ability to get along with the Brotherhood AND the Railroad when taking down the Institute.

[asteroidrules]

Brotherhood of Steel: we have Liberty Prime, an airship, and the largest arsenal of Power Armor in the Commonwealth.
Railroad: we have eyes and ears everywhere.
Institute: we have teleporters, an army of cyborgs, and a fortified underground bunker complex that survived a nuclear war.
Minutemen: I got a musket, a howitzer, and a beer, and I win.

"He who mocks the pipe rifle has never stared down the barrels of 100 fired at once"

[BTG]

The minutemen give you the easiest route to defeating the Institute. No fetch quests to get Liberty Prime up and running.

The minutemen give you map control. Establish settlements, build artillery. The more you have the more fire support you can call upon and the more value you get from your flare gun (summoned NPCs are decent enough decoys, valuable in Survival Mode when every mole rat bite might necessitate anti-biotics or a visit to the doctor.

I like to make Boston Airport into “Fort Preston” and send him there. Even gets a neon sign.

[TheArklyte]

Me: throws down artillery flare.
Also me: tries to remember how many damn mortars I've build everywhere, when will it end and maybe it was too much...

Problem of having Sole Survivor as faction is that by the end of the game we make Institute obsolete. Seriously. They developed 3 Gen 3 synths(Nick, DiMA and "Mask"), two of them rebelled and escaped, last one caused massacre in the Diamond City. Institute shat their pants and NEVER developed another synth. They've stole Vault-Tec cloning tech, stole Shaun and mass produced his clones. Forced control chip into the skull of each one(give me Mesmetron and bomb collars and I can also "produce synths"). They're not even cyborgs despite Institute being able to produce bionics for Kellogg.
Meanwhile what does Sole Survivor do? Recovers secret joint RobCo/General Atomics production line, recovers lead pre-war scientist on Robobrain project, recovers several Vault-Tec reactors from an unbuilt Vault, recovers Nuka World robotics mainframe that prevents the same problem that Mechanist faced. Now I can mass produce humanoid "Robocops"(assaultron body and legs, robobrain head and arms), name them after killed named characters and pretend that they can use human weapons and armor just like Calculator robots. My robot army is cooler:P

This is slander, the minutemen did bring something to the table. Unfiltered DRIP.
