    Scrapper, Fortune Finder and Scrounger have their uses, Scrapper in particular. Fortune Finder to gather more caps, Scrounger more ammo and Scrapper to get screws and circuits.

      Early Scrounger so you don't run out of ammo, later it helps to buy anything by selling excess ammo. Scrapper good for modded armors and weapons scrapping, ok to get around lvl20 when they start to drop in bigger numbers, not urgent. Personally i was ok without fortune finder, selling extra ammo gave enough.

      If I remember correctly there are 2 perks to help loading your wallet with caps. Fortune Finder is 1 and I forget name of the other. To me they are worthless to anyone that does not have a max cap thrill. My present character level of 63 has 20K caps and more salable ammo than that. I don't buy super expensive stuff from the traders so I have more than enough caps to not waste perk points on gathering more.

    As a Survival player, Aquagirl and Medic are the only ones that go on every build. Swimming is Survival’s fast travel. And the increased Stimpack healing speed in Medic Rank 4 is a game changer.
    But one of the most game changing combo is Strong Back 5 & Moving Target 3. Together, you can run Overcumbered for long stretches. Clear a dungeon of enemies first, then go back and pick it clean. You’ll be bringing back tons of equipment and junk.

      Hazmat suit is enough to swim. Faster heal: favor for quick use 3x food/drinks too, with stimpack 3x-4x faster heal (for me it's 7,8,9,0 and all used).
      Strong back super, to carry loot home lone wanderer is good too: fill companion, dismiss home then grab the rest and go.

  • @MolnarG007
    @MolnarG007 6 месяцев назад +6

    Lone wanderer helps carry home loot even with companion. Once full and companion is full with loot, even told him/her/it to grab some heavier ones from the floor one by one you still have the backup option to talk to your companion, dismiss him/her/it back to base, then with the extra carry capacity grab the rest of the loot, 100 lbs.

    By level 27 (I think), you should definitely max out the healing perk so it slowly heals you passively, as well as getting the second level of the solar perk, as that will melt your rads away while outside during the daytime. You should heal as fast as the rad damage dissappears. As a side note, I noticed that sleeping in a bed (at least during the daytime) and fast travelling greatly reduced my rads level, but you don't seem to heal while fast travelling.
    Include the Ghoulish perk, and you'll trigger more healing while taking rad damage, which, should slowly disappear thanks to the solar perk! This means you heal even more when eating radioactive foods, lol.

      Only issue with Idiot savant it gives level fast.

For first playthrough i recommend not taking it, or after level 25-30 when got used to things.

    Early Scrounger (luck2) so you don't run out of ammo (they spawn everywhere, bodies, crates, safes, wardrobe any container.... (Rank 1 40% Rank2 70% Rank3 100%...)
    Later it helps to buy anything by selling excess ammo (38 early, but soon you will have 1000+ ammo per type if you check locations with many containers like the Concord Corvega factory). From level 5 you find .308 and .45 ammo, and soon fusion cores in heaps, etc. Superb.
    Scrapper good for modded armors and weapons scrapping, ok to get around lvl20+ when they start to drop in bigger numbers and more complex weapons, not urgent (i get screws etc from traders buying cheap junk every time too). Personally i was ok without fortune finder, selling extra ammo gave enough, and making grape mentats.

    Commando is the best damage boost as it includes all automatic weapons although automatic shotguns
    Are a bit of a dud as automatic shotguns have their effective range reduced all companions get in the way no matter which one you are with but are usually useful as they may have a high level skill that you may not have on your build as you can't put everything on your character at an early stage as you have to focus the build in the direction that you want to go

    Strong Back and Lone Wanderer carry weight bonuses stack, most people don't seem to realize they do.
    Chemist 1 unlocks poisoned caltrops for crafting if you have Far Harbor. They sell for approx 40% more than regular and only require the same 5 steel you use for regular.
    Life Giver is a great early game pick. That 20 extra HP at an early level can come in handy. Rank 3 gives you a very minor passive healing
    Medic will allow you to heal more from each Stimpak, so you can more freely use them for trading if needed.
    Scrapper is the best way to get screws early by breaking down weapons.
    Fortune Finder and Scrounger can alleviate your money/ammo problems entirely.
    Locksmith R3 (lvl 7) can get you access to expert locks. That means every safe in Sanctuary and Concord is available to you. Concord has 3 or 4.
    Being lvl 6 means you can trigger legendary enemies to spawn. Loot lock the Civic Access in Concord and you can farm legendaries safely and easily

    I always go for a high luck build in survival mode with intelligence 1. First pick always idiot savant. Skip pistols and go for rifleman with bolt action pipe rifle, high luck means I tend to find better equipment, legendaries and gun mods. You want to balance your special skills and delay intelligence (for scrapper, science and roboticist) until level 40. By that time you’ve amassed a huge horde of modded gear that can be scrapped.
    Am currently playing at level 30 and have an advanced suppressed assault rifle which rips enemies apart, explosive 10mm.
    Other skills include strong back, local leader and assorted critical hit/stealth short skills.
    I avoid aquagirl and stealth level three as with previous playthroughs I’ve found that swimming everywhere and not triggering mines kind spoils the jeopardy.
    Find an explosive compact shotgun and then get explosive expert and adamantium skeleton for maximum fun!

All long shots have to be manual. In VATS 95% shots sometimes miss. If I'm in a rush, Vats takes it's best shot then I'm often in retreat mode. One thing that ticks me off is the reduced damage inflicted by my max damage weapon at longer ranges. Close and his head explodes like a watermelon, far and same gun takes 3 hits to the head. Real guns puts a bullet square in the bridge of the nose and its a kill shot, period.

      Percention and Agility, if your doing long distances manual aim works better, also you want critical banker. Their guaranteed critical hits. Also crouching and getting sniper perk helps. For sniper builds starting with a perception of 7 or 8 is a good number but generally 5 or 6 is good enough. Key thing is paying attention to your weapons range. Good stats won't help they are outside of the guns range spec and take accuracy penalties.

    Aqua Perk feels like a waste early on.. you could just cook Mirelurk Cakes which will let you breath under water.
    Survival Mode for me.. most important perks imo:
    ★Intelligence 9 + Nuclear Fission = Fast EXP & Fusion cores lasting longer.
    ★Unstoppable (in Survival you are so weak.. a damage buff is necessary).
    ★Riffleman or any of the other weapon damage buffs
    ★Locksmith/Hacking & Gun Nut/Armorer/Science
    ★Sneak (No more pesky traps or mines going off on you)
    LATER ON
    ★Chemist (Ability to Create Drugs + Antibiotics + Drugs Lasting Longer) Hint: Psycho Jet + Upgraded Shotgun on Survival Mode = RIP Legendary Deathclaw in less than 5 seconds EASY..
    ★Medic 1 = Assign Doctors to settlements for cheap healing and health fixes like Addiction/Radiation Poisoning/Sickness.
    ★Bloody Mess + Critical Banker (Helpful Later on)
    ★Scrapper (When you have more caps than you know what to do with instead of selling armor and weapons you dont need, instead destroy it for aEXTRA building parts).
    ★Strong Back 2 (past 2 on Survival is pointless since you cannot fast travel.
    I don't always like using Power Armor cause
    1. Its loud and clunky, gives up my position
    2. It Burns out Fusion Cores
    3. I like being stealthy and fast
    Buuuuut..
    It is helpful in some situations aka JETPACK 😁✌🏻
    1. So I removed the Fusion Core while ordering my companion to enter the.. so i always have a suit of Power Armor close by whenever i need it.. just tell them to get out when you want to use it.. companions dont even need a fusion battery to use it.
    2. Upgrade both legs to Carry more weight.. keep dumping all the loot you find on your companion.. when they cannot carry anymore tell them to get out of the aromor and wear it yourself for a carry weight boost lmao.. companion still has to hold all that weight you dumped on them when they had the armor boost lololol..
    3. Generally I don't like my companions fighting my battles for me, ruins my fun so if i know shits about to go down I'll tell them to wait at a safe distance.

    I just had my Assaultron pick the master lock in the Overseer’s quarters, of vault 75. I got .38 ammo, 12 pre-war money, corn, a stock 10mm pistol and a silver spoon. There is absolutely no good reason to max out either of the lock-picking, or hacking perks. Those are fomo perks. The anticipation of what’s in every single safe I’ve unlocked, has been better than the actual loot 10/10 times. It’s pretty much the same with terminals, except expert and master terminals are far less common. Master terminals are actually extremely rare and you can do entire playthroughs and only see like 1.
    Also, you can just take a mirelurk cake and the hazmat suit, plus some rad x and boom.. no need to take the aqua boy perk. That perk is one of the most useless in the game, aside from leadbelly.

They aren’t even top 20 and lead belly is arguably the worst perk in the entire game, unless you’re playing on Frost, or some other hardcore mod, like that.
