Yeah, I used the wrong word. They are weak, meaning they hit like wet noodles.
This means even a high hp won’t make their life easy if they have to fight, because they’ll take ages to finish a fight. As their melee dmg modifiers are bellow 1, they will lower the actual base dmg of the weapon.
You can mitigate this with the right perks, but they are not a good choice to fight. This doesn’t mean you can’t use two of them. In most places, they are enough, as long as you do the killing.
