cc o (____\ I started playing Fallout 4 and I

(_________) decided to commit a genocide against the Gunners. Who wants to help me destroy every Gunner controlled area until the Gunners have more in common with the post Fallout 3 Enclave than an actually organized group.

Listening to MacCready's lines make me realize how young he is. Like he's 22ish in canon (around my age) and has like a small child. I know life for Little Lamp Lighters isn't easy and only gets harder when they grow up and are thrown out but you can 100% tell that MacCready is a product of no adult supervision and having to make your own moral code and he really shouldn't be at the club but idk playing minecraft with his kid or something.

[artbyblastweave]

One theory I've never seen advanced as to the origins of the Gunners is that they might just be descended from the remains of the local U.S. Military detachment. The city was textually under martial law in 2077 and the game draws attention to the corruption, graft, and anti-civilian brutality of that situation at several points- the rationing site and the associated second Boston Massacre, the "will you comply" encounter, the ubiquitous checkpoints, the storytelling in the state house about Lieutenant Governer Graham's attempted coup. Hell, the sequence at the start where army personnel are the ones determining which of your friends and neighbors get to survive the apocalypse. I don't think it's insane to assume that the occupying forces just carried on as stationary bandits without the thin veneer of legitimacy, and in a better game your former U.S. military protagonist might be given some opinions or self-reflective moments in regards to the Canadian Treatment coming home, so to speak

Commission for @madammeouff of her sole survivor Calamity and MacCready facing off against Winlock and Barnes. Thanks so much for commissioning me and introducing me to your character!

Bonus:

[ghostly-smiles]

Something so poetic about the sole survivor killing Clint (former minutemen turned gunner that led the attack on Quincy), especially after he says in his personal logs how the minutemen have no strength anymore and "this is how the world works" when addressing trying to convince to seee his side col. Hollis. He talks about how preston wont be an issue with wounded children and women- and no, preston wasnt an issue, but he sure as hell found someone who was gonna be Clints next problem!

the moment somebody calls preston garvey something to the extent of a "soft angel cinnamon roll boy"

is the moment i know they have not spent any significant time with him in-game

What The Companions Say About... Gunners!

I'm posting these just because I find the companions in-game reactions to things rather interesting. You might be surprised by what some of them have to say about certain things.

These are just their dialogues for during combat and after combat or walking through areas inhabited by this enemy type. It does not include anything from specific areas, quests, or other dialogue.

⌨ Ada

⌨: Gunners carry serious military-grade hardware. We should gather whatever we can. ⌨: Gunners favour laser weaponry. Perhaps we can find fusion cells among the corpses? ⌨: Judging from the skull-like markings emblazoned everywhere, Gunners are exceedingly territorial. ⌨: And here I thought that Raiders were the lowest form of humanity in the Commonwealth. ⌨: I trust you'll never associate yourself with these mercenaries, ma'am.

☘ Cait

☘: Mixed it up with these nobs before. Not exactly the please and thank you types. ☘: Gunners. I hate these guys. ☘: Remember, Gunners don't take prisoners so give it everythin' you've got. ☘: Tattooed cretins. ☘: First there's trash, then there's the Gunners. Easy to remember, eh?

⚙ Codsworth

⚙: Gunners incoming. This should be fun. ⚙: Angry mercenaries up ahead.

(All of these lines have the {bravado covering nervousness} note) ⚙: I dare say, Gunners are scant more than Raiders with shinier toys. ⚙: {Nervous} Eyes out, mum. This may be Gunner territory. ⚙: Are they called "Gunners" because they fancy guns? Seems a smidge obvious. ⚙: Gunners, little more than murderous thugs in my book. ⚙: Gunners must make a healthy sum for all their murdering.

⚕ Curie

⚕: These Gunners should be careful. Some of their actions, I think, are illegal. ⚕: I would stay clear of the Gunners. They seem a most surly bunch. ⚕: Gunners. Common mercenaries. Of little interest to science. ⚕: I do not like the Gunners. They have no thirst for science. ⚕: Why aren't these Gunners in prison?

♞ Danse

♞: Gunners are extremely dangerous. Kill on sight. ♞: {Disdain} The tattoos on their heads make for a nice bullseye. ♞: Remember, Gunners can't be reasoned with, and they don't surrender. ♞: These fools are nothing but cold-blooded murderers. ♞: If you have a Gunner in your sights, pull the trigger. They won't hesitate to do the same to you.

🕶 Deacon

🕶: Gunners are one step above raiders in my book. 🕶: Don't underestimate the Gunners. 🕶: Who's pulling the Gunners' strings? No one knows. 🕶: Gunners give mercs a bad name. And that's saying something. 🕶: Gunner's have had bounties on me. Well, me under different names and faces. I want to see how many slots I can fill on their most wanted list.

☣ Hancock

☣: {Neutral} Gunners. All firepower, no finesse. ☣: {Neutral} Always thought those letters on their foreheads was how much of the alphabet they'd learned. ☣: {Neutral} I'll give 'em this, fightin' Gunners is rarely dull. ☣: {Neutral} Not a lot of folks make me question Goodneighbor's open door policy. But Gunners… ☣: {Neutral} These guys have some serious weaponry. Lots of caps to be made from a Gunner camp.

☸ Longfellow

☸: {Derisive} Only difference between trappers an' gunners is that gunners ain't realised they're crazy yet. ☸: {Derisive} Think all them weapons an' tattoos make these gunners feel safe? ☸: {Derisive} Gunners like to think they're tough, but they die just as easy as everythin' else. ☸: {Sarcasm and derision} Best thing about killin' gunners is all that ammo they kindly donate. ☸: {Sarcasm and derision} Guns an' armour can't hide cowardice, and that's just what gunners are. Cowards.

⨁ MacCready

⨁: I can't believe I was stupid enough to run with these idiots. ⨁: What was I thinking joining these clowns? ⨁: Doesn't get much crazier than these jokers. ⨁: Killing these morons is doing the Commonwealth a favour. ⨁: So nice of them to paint that bullseye on their heads.

♥ Nick

♥: {Question} Safest way to deal with Gunners? A rifle and distance. ♥: {Stern} You kill a Gunner or they kill you. ♥: {Neutral} If they were willing to see reason, they wouldn't have joined the Gunners. ♥: {Amused} Bet these dolts weren't expecting to get wiped up by the likes of us. ♥: {Neutral} Gunners pack more bullets than brain cells. Though they do pack a lot of bullets.

✉ Piper

✉: {Neutral} Gunners. All the combat training of the Brotherhood of Steel, all the moral character of your neighbourhood bully. ✉: {Neutral} Oh, story idea. I get a tattoo on my forehead and cop a bad attitude. "Gunners Undercover." It'd probably actually move some papers. ✉: {Neutral} Gunners pack a punch, but they're not coordinated. They're like Super Mutants without the charm. ✉: {Irritated} Gunners are all based out of the GNN Building downtown. What a waste of a newsroom. ✉: {Neutral} Gotta have some serious issues to think an organisation requiring facial tattoos is the place for you.

☀ Preston

☀: {Angry} I still owe those bastards for what they did to Quincy. ☀: {Disgust} Cold-blooded murdering bastards. ☀: {Angry} Gunners don't deserve mercy from us. ☀: {Disgust} I'll be happy to help you kill some more of those Gunner bastards. Just point me to them. ☀: {Disgust} We should wipe out every last one of those Gunner bastards.

☢ Strong

☢: These humans use tough armour. ☢: Strong smash puny human gunners. ☢: Gunners good fighters. ☢: These humans worthy foes. ☢: Maybe these humans have milk of kindness.

☾ X6-88

☾: {Hard-edged} Shoot to kill, ma'am. You can't reason with Gunners. ☾: {Disgust} These guys are vermin, the lowest of the low. ☾: {Disapproval} I've heard stories about what Gunners do to their prisoners. Yeah, you don't want to know. ☾: {Disgust} Gunners… they're all the things I hate about the Commonwealth, rolled into one. ☾: {Urging caution} The best-armed Gunners are usually the leaders. Watch out for them.

My notes:

Cait spent time with Gunners. At the Combat Zone? Before then, sometime after killing her parents? Doesn't sound like she ever joined them, just hung out.

Danse and Mac both making the comment that the Gunner tattoos make good targets. Nothing to say, really. Just amusing.

Deacon likes keeping things to himself, but as someone who makes information gathering his whole life his statement that no one knows who is behind the Gunners noteworthy. If the Institute were connected to them he'd probably have a small idea of it -additionally, the events of Hunter/Hunted within Greenetech make it rather unlikely that the two organisations are working together.

Hancock's bit about Gunners being allowed in Goodneighbor. We already saw this with Mac and his encounter with Winlock and Barnes, but it's nice to have confirmation that those two weren't outliers and that Gunners may make regular appearances within the town.

Gunners are one of two enemies Preston claims to actually enjoy killing. The other being Super Mutants.

Strongs comment about them having the Milk of Human Kindness is negligible. He says the same thing about raiders, and just seems to be a response to seeing humans work together in any form.

Cait says they don't take prisoners, but X6 implies that they do and we do see them holding the synth Jenny hostage during the Hunter/Hunted quest. Probably just a rarer occurance, they'd likely need some reason to want to take a hostage over just killing you, like a bounty specifying taking you alive.

Additionally, the fact that X6, the guy who loves terrorizing and torturing his enemies, is put off by how the Gunners treat their prisoners? Horrifying.

I love awful women :]

[awolfinpeopleclothes]

Still replaying Fallout 4.

[lynettethemadscientist]

Thinking about how cool it’d be to restore the Starlight Drive-In and show old films on it. We could host big events where everyone in the Commonwealth is invited.

[danseinthefallout]

hello my lovely people! Here is another would you rather/question of the day!

would you rather:

join the gunners OR join the Nuka-World raiders

[slocum-dodson]

Here is our dearest girl, Marcy Long, modeling a reclaimed set of armor from a gunner she murdered herself. As a gift of valor, the armor was repainted and fitted for her. She looks much more at home in it now, doesn't she, friends?
