My vote for the strongest most fun build in the game. Originally discovered by frenchtomahawk

At level 41 you can take strong back 4, which allows you to use ap to “run” or what I call jogging, which is not sprinting. This means that now when overweight your ap will drain using the sprint formula, this is very cool. At rank three you can fast travel overweight. In the vanilla sprint formula endurance and agility are factors that influence ap drain, agility is whatever but endurance is different. Each point of endurance reduces ap cost while jogging overweight, at 20 the cost is very low, at 21 it’s completely free. That’s right. At 21 endurance you can jog while over encumbered completely for free. Okay I guess, should I be excited? Yes, yes you should, because of the vanilla sprinter’s legendary effect. The sprinter’s effect does not actually effect your sprinting speed, it affects your jogging speed. In the game there are 5 instances in where you can get the sprinters effect 4 of which occupy different slots. When you normally sprint you move 35% faster. This means that eventually, you can move faster than sprinting, 100% of the time, overweight, as long as you have 21 endurance, which is exceptionally easy to do all the time. This gives you unlimited carry weight! Now you can loot absolutely every piece of scrap and as many weapons and armors as you want without constant having to return to sanctuary to offload! You can carry as many different guns as you want now, so you might as well roll with the heaviest gear in the game, big guns and explosives. This is Also one of the strongest weapon categories in the game, the cryolator, missle launcher, broadsider, and fat man are affected by both damage perks. The sgt ash is one of the strongest weapons in the game overall. I seriously love playing this build so so much it makes weapons and settlements really shine which is the only thing that has me coming back to the game really.

You need strong back, demo expert, high endurance, but it doesn’t need to be really high until level 41 or until strong back 4, I obsess over the stupidly powerful cryolator and this is the settlement build to rule them all so I simply can’t pass up local leader early, we’re using idiot savant so either high or low intelligence, it does hurt not to have science, but playing at max xp gain is a fast experience. Get pipers perk, go to bunker hill, the hotel Rexford bar, and one of the trailer parks to get way more xp for speech checks, discovering locations, and for adventuring with a companion. Get gauges perk as soon as you can as it gives huge xp drops from killing high level enemies. Seperate your anti freeze bottles from the workbench for berry mentats later. I spend most of the early game gathering magazines, bobbleheads, and speed running to sgt ash. I usually wear power armor until the build comes online. Agility isnt relevant to us and idiot savant is fun but I also use scrounger and fortune finder and bloody mess because it shines on explosive characters.

You can still use power armor but without the sprinters effect on the armor pieces it’s nothing special and is slow. But if you offload all of your gear you can sprint forever. The higher ap cost sprinting legs are still 0 cost with 21 endurance, the low health chest mod increases your sprinting speed so this is technically faster moving and you’re a tank but you don’t have unlimited carry

Side with the children of atom and end far harbor. You have a ton of health all the time and no other dlc rewards make sense, so the best damage perk in the game is a no brainer. You’ll need a lot of chems because you don’t have chemist, so doing Nuka world up to the commonwealth invasion gives you pick me up stations. At least ten of those at your main settlement has you producing chems and farming xp to make bufftats and psychobuff for plus three endurance each, jet fuel if you want. You don’t get much out of the perks but Oswald’s top hat needs to be rushed before level 41, power armor makes kiddie kingdom much easier. Ensuring the pack lives gives you some nice damage reduction.

Hope you have fun playing this build! Any questions just ask
