so I am working on a build, it's still in the relativly early stages but i think I have the general premise layed out, I was really hoping that you guys might be able to give me some input on it so far though because I am sill relatively new to the game.

the basic idea is that they will be sniper class (uses guns and sneak) and will use the sniper/AMR (spec for both because I use them both equally) and the big boomer (unique sawn off shotgun, let's just say I have a ... thing, for sawn off shotguns in the apocalypse), they will wear reinforced leather armour/joshuas armour (depending on whether I'm using the sniper or AMR) and re-breather + hat/1st recon beret (again, depends on which sniper I'm using).

SPECIAL:
Str: 6 (+2 OWB) [8]
Per: 6 (+1 LR?) [7]
End: 3
Char: 3
Int: 7
Ag: 8
Luck: 7

I always get my speech skill up to 100 eventually (It doesn't particularly fit my roleplay, but I like the options it opens up), but other than that I have no real need for charisma, and beyond implants I don't really care much for endurance as I usually try to avoid damage when I can. with the +2 strength from OWB I will meet the strength requirement for the AMR, better than using a point for weapons handling, my perception will be raised to 7 most of the time by my hat, and I like to have an intelligence of 6-7 because it opens up a lot of dialogue (and without said dialouge I always seem to feel like a complete [censored]), I was gonna have 6 int and 7 per but figured that a hat is a more reliable buff than chems, simply because a hat is practically a permanent buff. I'm not sure where I'll put my bonus point from LR, but I suspect that it'll go into perception. as for agility and luck... well it's always good to have a high agility and luck will be very beneficial for my sniper.


Implants : monocyte breeder, sub-dermal armour and implant M-5

for implants I just got whatever I thought would be useful seeing as how I didn't need any of the special implants.

traits: trigger discipline, built to destroy / kamikaze

I'm going to get trigger discipline because it's cons don't affect the sawn off and it's not all that bad on a sniper, the real issue here is that I don't know what other trait to get, I was thinking about built to destroy for the added crit chance, but the AP from kamikaze looks very appealing, I was also considering getting the small frame trait for the added agility, but I don't really need any more agility and crit chance is a much rarer bonus within the game.

Perks:
1) 2. rapid reload (guns 30)
2) 2. friend of the night (per 6, sneak 30)
3) 2. light touch (ag 6, repair 45)
4) 4. run 'n gun (guns 45)
5) 4. travel light (survival 45)
6) 6. gunslinger
7) 6. hand loader (repair 70)
8) 6. shotgun surgeon (guns 45)
9) 8. commando
10) 8. quick draw (ag 5)
11) 10. finesse
12) 10. and stay back (guns 70)
13) 12. silent running (ag 6, sneak 50)
14) 12. sniper (per 6. ag 6)
15) 14. jury rigging (repair 90)
16) 14. light step (per 6, ag 6)
17) 16.action boy 1 (ag 6)
18) 16.action boy 2 (ag 6)
19) 16. better criticals (per 6, luck 6)
20) 18. concentrated fire (guns 60)
21) 20. grim reapers sprint
22) 26. tunnel runner (ag 8)
23) 26. nerves of steel (ag 7)
24) 36. broad daylight
25) 50. just lucky I'm alive (neutral karma)

for my perks I am trying to get good crits and good vats, because while I don't use vats a lot, it is incredibly useful for a sniper (IMO) at mid range after your stealth has been blown, and since my main weapons are pretty AP heavy i want to have as many AP as I can, I was also considering getting Logans loophole and dropping all the AP related perks, in favour of a constant supply of steady, but I figured that I don't really need steady and addictions are fairly easy to get rid of. I also did a lot to buff my sneak and speed, I do love my speedy crouch.


any feedback you guys can give me is much appreciated.
