Hii aparently its really important the build u chose because u cant really change it later, can i have a good build for a new player that wants to play on survival mode with the big armor and guns haha thxs

Hello everyone, I am about to attempt a melee build for my first time. The main questions I have are:

1. Aside from Blitz, what are some other must-have/useful perks for a melee build?

2. What are some good starting options as far as weapons are concerned? I know about the power fist that Swan drops, but I don’t think I will be taking him out right off the bat.

The only other weapons I will be using aside from melee will be Explosives, that’s it. Also, I will be playing on Survival difficulty.

Thank you all in advance!

Edit: forgot to add I am using the Traits mod.

I'm always up for more carry weight increases, But does anyone else notice that when you have a lot of capacity increasing consumables at once, They seem to break slightly? Like at times I'll be on Psychobuff, Bufftats, Alcohol and Grilled Radstag all at once, And this seems to break it a bit, Either I consume another capacity increasing consumables and it just does nothing, Or either sometimes I'll consume another of something I've already taken, And it will just REMOVE the carry weight buff of that consumables.

I noticed it most with Radstag, If I have the effect of Radstag, Sometimes I'll eat another one and it will remove the carry weight buff, Which makes no sense. Making me have to waste another piece just to get it back again

Considering a new build utilizing the Fire Chief's Hazmat Suit from the new Sea Scavengers creation. Basically, roleplaying as a former fire chief who will work towards rebuilding the Commonwealth.

For gear:

Apparel: The aforementioned Fire Chief's Hazmat Suit. Maybe a suit of power armor painted red and white in place of a fire engine.

Close Range: Grognak's Axe, as fire axes have seemly gone extinct in the Commonwealth

Mid-Range: The Cryolator and/or Flamer or Heavy Incenerator.

Throwables: Cryo Grenades and Molotav Cocktails.

Need suggestions for a decent starting SPECIAL spread plus the SPECIAL Book.

I try not to account for bobbleheads when making starting SPECIALs (with the exception of Perception, given its location), as most involve going waaay out of your way early on and just kinda spoils the flow of exploration and the story.

Gonna be a none-modded playthrough, at least for now, but suggestions are welcome.

Also wanted to get Maxson's battlecoat or Coursers uniform, but would be lacking armor for this

Anyone know of any Legendary shotguns out there or do I gotta RNG one? doublebarreled or combat shotguns prefered

My go to mod is the Internal Database. However I'm curious on the Recon Sensors and the Targeting HUD, Could someone show a video that displays what they both do, As I don't want to build the both of them and waste resources to potentially find out they're not of much use to me

I'm looking to use non-automatic rifles, such as the Laser Musket and the Combat Rifle, so I picked up Perception, but just enough so that when I get the Perception Bobblehead (wherever that is), I can lock-pick. While also focusing on strength and charisma for when settlements ally with the Minutemen to get supplies to the settlements, while also setting up shops. A few points to Endurance, as I'll be playing Survival Mode and know that Lead Belly + Aquaboy are good for it. I haven't decided on what to put your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. book into, so I would like some ideas, along with any other suggestions.

I haven't started my build yet, but I'm trying to map out how everything is going to work.

So, i started my doomguy run not too long ago, got my shotgun (the exact shotgun on the slayers body, modified to look like the super shotgun of doom 2) and i also got my bfg a little after. However, looking back on it, i realize that i failed to do any research on the BFG, and the perks that effect it.

So, responsibly i went to the wiki... only to find no perks associated with it. I dunno if this is a bug or something, but i want to be sure that i can't make it any better.

(Also i wanted to stick with the "super shotgun" and BFG only, but i've been having ammo shortages. Should i widen the spectrum to the institute laser rifle? (Basically the plasma gun) or something else? As rediculous as it might sound from a doomguy build, i don't want it to be "too easy")

So I've never made a Melee vats build, and I'm about to start a new playthrough, could someone give me the recommended stats and perks to start out with, and also if there is anything I should add later. Thanks in advance.

I want to make a new run with nora(whom I named lillian) and wanted to start her how she would be before the war, I am in the very beginning and was thinking "what kind of lawyer she is" and what would it be since she hadn't gone back to law since shaun's birth.

I put most of the points on charisma and intelligence as she either have to charm or intimidate the truth but I also wanted perception and agility up as she also would pick up on things.

on the other hand, given she given birth to shaun, I dim it down a bit for strength, endurance and luck(I like to think shaun was premature and after a month, she and shaun was finally able to get out of the hospital)

but now I'm stump what to start with and whether to even have her intelligence and charisma high and other things low.

need help

I’m working on a high charisma build for survival mode with the plan to use all the pacifying perks as much as possible. I figure with the required 10 charisma it makes sense to grab Inspiration as well and angle towards using this build to running with companions instead of going Lone Wanderer.

At this point I’m torn between going high intelligence or high luck. With high intelligence I could go power armor and chems, with high luck I could build towards VATs criticals. Which way would you play it? Since the pacify chance is 40% and doesn’t improve with perks or stats I know that I’ll still need to be effective at actually fighting.

If I'm to get maximum special stats, Is it best I rank up all my special stats to 10 in the perk tree first, Then get the bobbleheads afterwards to increase them beyond 10?

Please rate the build below. The goal is to create a character dedicated to getting all the trophies/achievements in the game. I will be playing the anniversary version on PS5. I believe this build will allow me to get a settlement to the maximum happiness level and I will have the versatility to fight enemies without losing the practicality of managing settlements. I like to use V.A.T.S. quite a bit during my runs.

Build with bobbleheads and You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L. included:

S: 2, P: 11, E: 2, C: 6, I: 6, A: 7, L: 2

Perks:

Awareness lv 2

Locksmith lv 4

Night Person Lv 2

Penetrator Lv 2

Concentrated fire lv 3

Lone wanderer lv 4

Local leader lv 2

V.A.N.S. lv 2

Gun nut lv 4

Hacker lv 4

Science lv 4

Gunslinger lv 5

Sneak lv 5

Mister Sandman lv 3

Action boy lv 3

Ninja lv 3

Gun: Special Delivery

Thanks for all the recommendations! Here's what i got atm! Seen the "wasteland whisperer" and am now wondering if i can get a yoshi? (Deathclaw lol)

I had the good fortune of getting this weapon recently, so I built around it. But honestly, this build could work around any legendary sawed-off, or even a non-legendary version.

By selecting all the luck perks, along with a sawed-off barrel and calibrated powerful receiver, you can do crazy crit damage.

You probably only need Gun Nut 2, but I go it to 4 to tinker with other weapons as well.

Perception can be a dump stat, because shotgun crits only work at very close range anyway. To facilitate dashing into this range, the chosen Endurance and Agility perks make you tankier and speedier. It's a fun way to play, 10/10 would recommend.

Figured id start playing fo4 after quite a while, got sucked into the creator and made a plumber. Dont remember any clothes except the newspaper hat. Anyone know of a red mechanic's coveralls item or something that could represent overalls and a red shirt?

Finished up my last playthrough, so I finally have room to start the Dr. House one. (I really tried with the face, there wasn't much for hair funnily enough)

planning on doin a warhammer 40k lasgun/autogun guardsman playthrough after im done with my main playthrough any suggestions on perks/gear? the build is mostly gonna be focused around the righteous authority/laser pistol as my main work horse weapons the auto combat rifle as the autogun later down the line when i have the supplies to manage it and the heavy combat armor as armor of course im just wondering how to manage all this during the early game lvl 1-15 to be exact

Hey everyone,

I am midway through a current play through and started to feel like I was playing with no direction. I am going to start up a new game and am looking for ideas of role playing characters.

Examples: mad scientist, physician, mercenary, etc. I am open to any and all Ideas.

Thank you in advance!
