Some major sources of income in this game are farming Bounty Hunters and Enclave Patrols. From Bounty Hunters you can loot Super Stimpacks as well as science piles of their low condition combat armors and weapons for crafting resources. From Enclave Patrols you will get Gatling Lasers as well as good amounts of Micro Fusion Cells and 5mm AP ammo. Gatling Laser can also be a good source of junk when scienced.
It is possible to farm both solo with the right builds.
Bounty Hunters - You can farm these easily using any build which has at least 12 ap or 10 + bonus move and either the use of Gatling Laser or Xl with More Ranged Damage Perk. However, the best build to use is a Pyro Tank which can also use a Gatling Laser.
The idea with farming bounty hunters is to do it in turn-based, enter unarmed so they don't attack you and get to cover before taking your weapons out. You can find them in San Fran Ruins.
When they attack, they will get close very quickly, when you see a group in a line, aim for the furthest one with incinerator and you will do serious fire damage to all (about 120-40). If any get close, hex them with the Gatling laser. Always end turn behind cover, take out the avengers first, then M60's then the laser snipers.
Alternatively a simple build like this will work, but it will be much slower and riskier as you won't be able dish out the same kind of damage to multiple targets but is still very do-able. Use a motion sensor to make things easier.
Enclave - This build works really well for farming the Enclave Patrols. Credit goes to Le Troll who posted this build on reloaded forum:
Looks crazy but it works very, very well. Wear full tesla gear and find a patrol, check their weapons. If there are more than 1 avenger user then don't attack, find another patrol. When you have 1 with just one in it, then rush over and hex him twice with Gatling Laser but BE CAREFUL he may push you back after the first hex before TB starts. So move in again and finish the job.
Once the avenger is down, if there are gatling users, try to move behind a plasma user for cover. The Gatling troopers will make your life easier but either moving to a better position (and so not shooting you) or bursting through the plasma guy. It is advisable to get doc to 100 or at least 50 and carry a paramedic bag because although cripples will be rare with MoS they will still happen occasionally, especially if there are more than 2 plasma users.
Happy Farming
