good builds arent really secret after one and half year long season, normally i wouldnt share informations like that but whatever..
you need 2 in to pick sharpshooter at lvls 9-11 so you can go with 1 in but then you have to take even tougher at those lvls and later take one less lifegiver
skills 300 sg > 100+ doc > 200 fa > rest... always doc>fa because you can heal yourself with stims but you cant fix your crippled limb without doc
from drugs i recommend not using buffout as other ppls do.. 10pe + 300 sg + sharpshooter must be enough for everything except gauss rifle and bozar.. for those you can use buffout and wear some AP/AG armor or PA so there is no reason to use buffout as regular drug, you can rather save that point from AG which it takes
jet is must have for sniper, high rate of fire for him is really needed, especially to have 2 shots in a row to eyes with all weapons
i also recommend using psycho .. depending on your SPECIAL (im really surpsrised that noone mentioned psycho in this topic wow)
traits smallframe as first
as second trait go for bonehead if you plan to get implants (so you will have enough special anyways) or something else (up to you)
perks are fine .. more crit, even more crit, sharpshooter, lifegiver 2x, brof, right between the eyes, better criticals .... or if you want to go 1in then even tougher and 1 lifegiver
special is completely depending on how much implants you plan to get
if you plan to get implants in future then i recommend you going with
1 st + 1 implant - 2 jet + 1 psycho = 1 <- regular using for gauss/bozar -> with +1 st armor = 2 or with PA = 4-5 (dont remember how much PA gives atm ^^) or with buffout = 3
10 pe + 1 cigs + 1 implant - 2 psycho = 10 (y, 10pe on psycho !)
9 en + 1 implant = 10 (hp will be same as with 9en !)
2 in
8 ag + 1 implant + 1 nuka cola = 10
9 lk + 1 implant = 10
thats special with bonehead btw
more/less viable build even without implants them and probably best build with them !
without implants 221 hp, 11 ap, 53 FoV, 40 DR (in CA)
with implants 271 hp, 12 ap, 56 FoV, 48 DR (in CA)
if you wont go for implants any soon then you can change/sacrifice something like not using psycho so you can take 1-2 points from PE or not take bonehead and put them to AG etc..
so if you are new to game and you are sure that you wont have implants any soon then you can go with ..
1 st
9 pe +1 cigs = 10
10 en
1 ch
2 in
9 ag +1 nuka cola = 10
9 lk (yup, better take point from LK then EN, you can fix it with implant later)
without bonehead, without psycho
not any best build but maxed most of stats, mostly max FoV and 12 ap which are most important
from other stats .. 241 hp, 25 DR
it lacks bonehead and has very low DR (no psycho) so its weak against snipers and sneakers .. so against everything
Around what level would I get to science 100, I would have to balance science with SG to get all my perks getting sg to 100 before level 3 then 125 before 6 ect.
200 sg for perk requirements, then its up to you
in final its always same so im usually not mentioning skills.. 300 weapon skills (which you want to use), 200 fa, 200 doc, 175 outdoorsman and PvE skills which you want
