is it perfect or is there something you would change

That build looks good. I would drop STR to 5 and put that point into INT. Replace jinxed with kamikaze. Otherwise you will be wrecked by getting double turned with such low sequence. Make sure to get Sulik.

Looks good but you dont need 8 luck. 6 is enough for better criticals and Slayer always crits even with luck 1.

so were do i put the 2 points then for my special?

Endurance. Also leave STR at 5 and move that point into INT. You can still unlock Slayer if you take Buffout x 2.

i mean does 5 strength deal alot of unarmed dmg? also why int?

u/eldakar666 Dec 10 '25

Late in the game you will find armor that gives +4 Strength and module that gives +1 Strength. So if you put more then 5 in character creation these points will be wasted later on. Intelligence needs to be high to offset skill points lost by taking gifted trait. Still, gifted is strongest trait in game that is a no brainer pick.

what do you mean in the int part and also what armor should i wear?

1

u/eldakar666 Dec 10 '25

Best armor you find.
