Hand to Hand build help

Post » Thu Feb 21, 2013 9:30 am

Hello everyone!!!

So im usually one to restart my games all the time, but i think ive finally got a character with a cool backstory and skills ill like. Im making a melee and unarmed build and had a few questions, well one actually, or maybe a few depending as i go

For the people that have done this how do you handle far away sniping enemies? Like do i need a weapon at all to shoot or just always charge in? and what about explosives? Ive never used them but have considered using them with this build, throw in some grenades and then charge in sword swinging.

thanks everyone

The only long distance weapons are guns of some type. So, for a pure H2H/UA character you can't snipe.

So, either you have to develop your gun skill, or as you suggested, Explosives. Explosives are more in line with a character that won't use guns. There are some Perks that put some distance on thrown weapons and bombs (area of effect) that can make them perfect for softening up foes from some distance away. Then you can rush in and get up close and personal.

The Mad Bomber Perk can let you make something that will take out enemies at about the same effective distance as an Assault Rifle or similar.
