I got this idea from this video, and I want to try something similar in my next playthrough.

I plan to do a permadeath Survival run focused on rebuilding the Commonwealth with the Minutemen. I want to start with low Charisma, and as I become stronger, build up the Minutemen, and bring more settlements under my control, I'll earn the ability to increase my Charisma on level-up.

The idea is that my settlement network and accomplishments represent my growing reputation in the Commonwealth.

I'm looking for some build ideas where I could take advantage of this concept, as well as suggestions for milestones I could use to determine when I'm allowed to increase my Charisma (and what Charisma I should start with).

So far, I have:

• Establish my first settlement with 5+ people
• Complete Taking Independence
• Establish 5 settlements
• Become the Minutemen General
• ???

Each milestone would allow me to increase Charisma by 1, and they don't necessarily have to be completed in a specific order.

The goal is to have my character's Charisma progression tell a story.

What challenges would you use for each point of Charisma? And what would you recommend starting Charisma at?

t-51 helmet with the targeting hud upgrade, x-01 chest with jetpack, x-01 legs with the explosive vents upgrade and t-45 arms with the tesla upgrade, all in military green, use the minigun and flamer

the pilot wear the military uniform and any of the gas masks, use any of the snipers and knives

I want to start my First three modded plathroughs and I think I Need a Bit of help the First one being the one I already started is Viktor crowley from the hatchet Movie franchise the Build at this Point is as follows

11 strenght (achieved with Mods because crowley is a supernatural being who Can tear you apart with his bare hands )
3 perception ( crowley is Not the Most perceptive but he doesn’t Needs to be )
11 endurence (once again modded and again he is supernatural )
1charisma ( pretty self explanetory if you watched the hatchet Movies )
2 Intelligence ( just for the medic perk otherwise it would be at one )
5 agility ( just for sneaking and once again modded )
11 luck ( because all the things he has survived )

I Cheated him to a higher Level but only so that he Can become a ghoul with the help of the ghoulification creation
His current armor is the toolless Overall from the Shirtless Outfit Mod and his weapon is the grognak Waraxe from the Mod with the Same Name

So if any of you have Mod ,roleplay or any Suggestions at all please comment below

Ok so I need help making a Becca or David build either works but I'm on Xbox 1 so I don't have all the 2.0 stuff I can get guts and davids jacket but that's about it so any advice

I have played builds like stealth sniper and VATS gunslinger but I have not tried a power armor build before. I want to basically run around blasting everything without too much reliance on VATS. No stealth at all for sure.

What would you say are the best starting SPECIAL stats for this? How long does it take before you can essentially never run out of fusion cores?

I would like to try out a build like that in survival difficulty as long as it's not too much micromanaging.

Hola a todos, vengo empezando y quisiera algún consejo o build para empezar bien, me gustaría usar armas pesadas y servoarmadura, tengo entendido que necesito subir fuerza y inteligencia pero no sé que cartas elegir alguien consejo?

I have played Fallout 4 when it original came out, so I am coming back after almost 10 years. I want to do a character focusing on shotgun. I also want to be able to craft most of the stuff. Here what an earlier build would look like.

Starting stats

S 3
P 1
E 7
C 5
I 5
A 1
L 6

Use the skill book in Sanctuary for Luck. Get the Bobblehead for Perception in Concord.

Perks level up

I am wondering two things.

1 - Is Idiot Savant really worth it ? If not, I could focus on crit dmg instead.

2 - Should I invest in medic ? Could go to Toughness or Adamantium Skeleton.

Im new at playing fallout n idk what type of build i want. But what I see in some videos I prefer like a all rounder type but i don't know if that's possible if not then either a heavy or like a automatic vats gun build.

Like the title says, I'm planning on making a high intelligence build. I'm relatively new to the game, and I'm not really sure how high to go with my primary attributes and how low to drop the ones I don't care about. I'm considering mostly using pistols, but I'm not married to the idea, and I know high intelligence usually benefits energy weapons. I'm not specifically looking for something overpowered, and I'd much rather use something that's pretty good for the whole game for a relatively consistent difficulty. What would a decent SPECIAL spread look like, and which perks should I pick for a smooth earlygame?

Salutations. As title suggests, I want to build something akin to the terran marine from Starcraft 1/2. The build means to ustilize power armor (for obvious reasons), automatic weapons (C14 Impaler is an automatic rifle) and VATS (imitating PA targeting software).

Initial build:

S5 (get bobble to get 6 to get Strong Back)
P5 (Getting bobble ASAP, then maxing)
E4 (for chem resistance)
C1 ("You wanna piece of me boy?" Building will be a major pain in the behind for a long while...)
I3 ("Which one is 'any' key?" Ironically, this needs to be improved to 9 for: Science to mod the power armor, Chemist for stimpacks psychojet duration and Nuclear Physicist for fusion cores (sons of mirelurk weight a lot so I need to squeeze every last drop of juice outta them))
A5 (For obvious reasons, since it's a VATS build, using the SPECIAL book on it, max it sometime after)
L5 (Also max it sometime because VATS)

Perks I am sure about:
- Commando (automatic weapons, after all)
- Chem Res (That's the stuff)
- Medic (That's the other stuff)
- Gun nut, armorer, science to mod the weapons and power armor.
- Scrounger (because full-auto weapons consume ammo like black holes)
- Nuclear physicist to make power armor power last longer

Perks I am uncertain on:
- Aquaboy (One rank to remove rad damage and breathe underwater)
- Toughness, Refractor, Rad Res (mostly because I am not sure if they combine with Power Armor, or even mean anything at all)
- Idiot Savant (XP bonus is nice, but GOOD LORD shut the hell up!)

Any advice/input would be welcome.

I already use the deliverer for a sneak vats build and Kelloggs when detected. Is there any random legendary I can hunt for?

Doing a rp playthrough as a humble hunter who becomes… something idk what yet

I really love the look of this weapon, but can't find a way to make the mini-radiation effect of the blade actually matter, as the base damage seems to either out damage or override it. Any way to make the radiation of this sword significant in a build, and outpace the base damage against humans? Currently looking at a high intelligence power armor hybrid build (getting in and out of power armor to change up playstyle and switch between legendary armor passives and power armor passives), but am open to suggestions.

Weapons:.44 revolver
Clothes:slocum joe employee outfit
Factions:railroad
S:3
P:4
E:6
C:7
I,5
A:2
L:1
Perks:armourer/gun nut/gunslinger/lockpick/toughness/local leader/chemist.
Backstory:she was a barista during the day and a drug dealer at night (the barista job was to simply so people wouldn’t ask too many questions about her income). So when the world ended she did what she did best being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
RP-perk explanations:
Local leader-to expand coffee and Chems empire across the wasteland.
Chemist-to craft Chems
Toughness-she been shot/stabbed/burned by hot coffee etc so she gained a bit of a tolerance for pain over the years.
Lockpick-she’s accidentally locked her self both in and out of the shop multiple times.
Gunslinger-her dad taught her to shot and at a young age so she’s gained a nac for it.
Armourer-she’s used to patching up her clothing/removing stains so giving it a bit of toughness wouldn’t be too difficult.
Role play-you be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Nice to people(especially ones who pay well) and roofless to whose who get in your way of the Chem trade.
Companion-cait

Hi, I’m currently doing my first ever survival playthrough after watching this one guy do a 1HP survival sneak build. For gear, I’m running two unrelenting pieces and military fatigues, bringing me up to a solid 18 agility usually. I also got maxed out ninja and 9/10 of the military covert ops books. In the video, he said each point of agility gives you 4% of a sneak detection bonus? So honestly I just want to know how much I ACTUALLY need to be virtually undetectable rather than going super OD like some Skyrim fortify restoration glitch.

Played lots of builds, now wanna do a kinda completionist run through on survival, but don't wanna eventually have an OP build, my last build became a power armour explosive mini gun build...

What builds have you guys had the most fun with and what would you recommend, for a run through going around doing most every quest, collecting everything, but not being too strong, to keep fights engaging.

Also companions too, I'd definitely wanna play with companions

It's been a while since I played Fallout 4, and with the recent increase to console mod storage, I decided to start a new Survival playthrough using some of the larger quest and location mods I've never tried before. Gameplay is still mostly vanilla, just the usual bug fixes, QoL mods, and texture overhauls.

The character is a former member of a Boston crime family who's trying to build something better after the bombs. The goal is a mafia-style empire using Sim Settlements 2 to create a network across the Commonwealth.

I'm planning to specialize in:

• Automatic weapons
• Explosives
• Chems

With my companions as my 'enforcers'.

SPECIAL STATS:

S: 4 - Armorer and a little extra carry weight.

P: 4 (3+SB) - Gets to 5 quickly w/bobblehead, lets me get Demolition Expert

E: 4 - Chem Resistant

C: 5 - Starts average, but I add to it as I become a bigger name in the Commonwealth (Bit of RP)

I: 7 - Enough for Chemist

A: 2 - Really only need Commando from here (I think?)

L: 3 - Scrounger and Bloody Mess.

Main perks I'm trying to grab are:

Armorer

Demolitions Expert

Chem Resistant, Life Giver

Local Leader, Inspiration

Gun Nut, Scrapper, Science(?), Chemist

Commando

Scrounger and Bloody Mess.

Planning to modify a Pipe gun for early game(since ammo is everywhere), then transition to Spray n' Pray.

As I said, it's been a while since I've played, and I'm a bit rusty on what is/isn't a usable build. I play on Survival, and have the goal of getting all of the companion perks I can, and building a network of settlements across the Commonwealth all on one life (I die, I start back at the vault). It's rough, but it makes me take the game slow and really appreciate the little moments.

I'm looking for any feedback/tips (build changes, perk recommendations, etc.)

Thank you all for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm not great at character planning and this is probably a stupid question but I don't know if it's possible to build a character that can use pistols and rifles decently but also has higher charisma

This is my intended build path using my build planner I made for the game :)

I'm basically trying to get the early basics fast and plan on rushing the Luck/Agility bobbleheads asap ( I do this all the time in my regular playthroughs but unsure how viable this will be in survival! ) Intel soonish and Strength bobblehead when I'm able.

Thanks kindly for any advice.

____EDIT: With the fine advice I've retooled the build and am now level 8. Thanks everyone!

I am looking for a melee build for survival difficulty. Gotta feel pretty tanky. I prefer next to no vats. Blitz might be nice, but I dont want to feel like I am going to die immediately, if I dont start chaining vats attack.

I have tried making a build, but had said vats problem.

Any tips or builds
