You don’t need a perfect build to do Raids

You do need a reasonably specific build to solo the robot. I don’t know how people don’t do it without a full set of Troubleshooters. But even Troubleshooters only require 15 Legendary Modules each once you can craft them.

I think what’s causing the biggest logical problem for players new to the Raids is that you probably need a full health Power Armor Heavy Gun build if you are starting with them. But you can’t have a tanking mindset. There are things in the Raids that will instantly kill you. Unless you are running a full Troubleshooter’s set, you shouldn’t tank the EN-06 boss. Hide behind pillars when it focuses on you and fire on it when it is targeting other players.

I’d say if you can solo the Casino Quarter Expedition, you are ready to try out the raids with a Full Health Power Armor Heavy Gun build. Bring lots of Stimpacks. I’d suggest Union PA for the poison resistance. You can grind the expeditions if you want a boatload of legendaries to learn to craft mods by scrapping.

To be honest, I’ve done 50+ full raids and hundreds of first boss solos. And I’m still using Union PA with no four star mods but all parts have the Troubleshooter mod. Why? I’m indecisive. I’ve got 6 Reflective mod boxes and 4 Rejuvanator mod boxes, but I’m unsure. So, I’ve been collecting Power Armor frames filled with Vulcan Power Armor parts that dropped with four star mods. I’m up to six full frames and still thinking about it.

I have seen Bloodied builds work in raids but they seem much more complicated to setup.
