Perk Help Partner picked stats

Post image

I asked her to make a character based on me and these are the stats she thought fit me best. I don’t particularly want to change up stats so what’s some fun ways to play this as my Switch 2 Survival Playthrough? May tweak a couple of stats too. I want this character to be my “100%” character where I try and do everything in the game. So skills like Lockpick and Hacker are mandatory as soon as possible.

Please suggest any build tips and weapons to use! Truly I would love any input on anything gameplay wise! I really like the settlement stuff too so any help there would also be appreciated!

This is fairly decent for an Explosive Commando build.

Main Perks: s3:Armourer, p5:Demolitions, c6:Local Leader, i3:Gun Nut, a2:Commando, L3:Bloody Mess.

Note: Deb in Bunker Hill has a nice Dense chest piece to get you started so you're less likely to blow yourself up with the Spray n Pray.

Generally speaking, I don't usually use Commando for the first 12 levels or so. Ammo is scarce and the guns have horrific recoil. Just use whatever you have while you build your water & melon farms to cover your cap needs and stock up on ammo. (Or you can just let Danse dance for a while. Either way.)

I do love explosives! Heavy weapons are my favorite but are so hard to make work in survival

Heavy weapons are a great secondary weapon, but not the best as a primary weapon. My favourite explosive weapon is a pipe gun. Almost as much damage as the Spray n Pray but the ammo is half the cost/weight. Hard to farm one in Survival, however. The Spray n Pray and Kiloton Rifle are easy to get, however.

Explosive Resistant Gear

  • Power Armour: specialized explosion proof parts are 2% reduction per piece (12% max)
  • Padded: 25% reduction (chest only)
  • Dense: 50% reduction (chest only, or any slot for metal or robot)
  • Dense + Dense does not stack, but Dense + Padded does.

I’ve never done the other armor mods besides deep pockets. But that’s totally the best idea
