I want to replay Fallout: New Vegas as a sniper

I want to replay Fallout: New Vegas as a sniper.

Which SPECIAL-Stats should i choose for a proper build?

Also general NEW VEGAS THREAD

New Vegas??? more like NUDE VEGAS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Perception is the only one that really matters. Consider the Trigger Discipline trait as well

Luck and perception

Also, put charisma at 1 for extra points. Charisma is super useless, even if you're going for a speech character.

Unless you are some kind of clown using VATS, just dump everything into Endurance and Strength. Get like 4 Int for SP perk.

Perception, agility and luck on the higher ends

commando perk
better critical perks
bloody mess
concentrated fire
finesse
sniper

It really doesn't matter, just take the perks that make the most sense.

Perception, Agility and Luck at least at 7, and this is correct, charisma is useless

Exactly y'all cucked if you pickup Anti Mat Rifle w/out enough strength to hold it steady.

Ok, i try my best

You can lower the STR requirement by 2 with one perk + get extra STR from power armor, implant, and OWB dlc

STR is a waste of special points

this

I recently did a sniper playthrough of new vegas, specifically modeled off the TF2 Sniper, it's easily been one of the most fun playthroughs i've had:

STR 5
PER 9
END 4
CHR 4
INT 5
AGI 6
LCK 7

Tag Guns, Sneak and a 3rd of your choice ( i chose survival considering TF2 sniper is australian)

You will not use any weapon this isn't some form of bolt action rifle, sniper rifle or an SMG (yes this involves using the varmint rifle for a large portion of the game). Your Melee weapon is the machete until you can get the machete gladius. Any weapons and ammo that you cannot use, sell at the first oppertunity (you will quickly become the richest man in New Vegas)

Your playstyle is to hang back and get sneak attack crits from a distance, so take perks that will help fit that playstyle. When you get the oppertunity, take the lighter weapons perk to drop the STR requirements of all weapons by 2 and buy a STR implant from the New Vegas clinic. This will let you use the Anti-Mat rifle. At that point the game becomes easy mode.

>and a 3rd of your choice
maybe repair

High enough perception and agility for all useful perks, you can also start with the small frame trait. Extra crit chance from luck is irrelevant for guaranteed sneak attack criticals but you probably won't snipe all the time, there are occasional choke points and corridors that will make it useful.

If your charisma isn't 1, you're doing it wrong.

Strength depends on the ST requirement of your endgame weapon and if you'll pick the weapon handling perk. 3 or higher at character creation, 2 from reinforced spine, 1 from the implant aim for 6 or 8 at endgame. Gwet the must perks like better criticals.

Improve guns, sneak, and peripheral non-combat skills like lockpicking, science, speech, whatever you think you'll need.

>get a spiffy new monitor
>suddenly borders all around the screen
>do some searching
>it's so common there's a mod to fix it
This is such a stupid fucking problem to have.

>all these people not using CCO to make Charisma useful
It's like you want one stat to be utterly useless

>CCO
?

Cirosan Classic Overhaul mod
Many great changes including being able to recruit CHA/2 companions at the same time like in Fallout 2

So what happened to /cfog/?

S 1
P 7
E 1
C 10
I 10
A 1
L 10

Rate me

>not breaking down ammo you can't use to make ammo you can with your tagged survival skill

I can't really rate unless I know what kind of character your playing.

since you wnat to play as a sniper you should pick ed-e and boone as your companions

>Clipboard
>Pack of Cigarettes
>Scrap Electronics

I guess that would work with Energy Weapons if you stick with the standard pistol and no VATS, and pick up a companion or two to carry your shit
7/10 interesting because limiting yourself makes for a more memorable playthrough

Ok here is my sniper build
S 5
P 8
E 4
C 1
I 5
A 8
L 9

Just finished Dead Money last night.
It's time for the long walk again.

I picked up a mod that made stats affect skills less from the beginning, and it nerfed barter (i can buy a stimpak for 220 caps), and even just with picking the normal shit up in a playthrough, I'm rich as hell and have never sold a gold bar. Only did that walk once, never again
this game just throws caps at you without a good dump for them.

>always go for stealth/ranged in fallout games
>extremely bored because all i do is taking distance and kill everyone off before they can even reach me with their tiny guns

is it any fun to go full dakka and big guns in NV? i already made a melee character and i felt pretty OP

>play shitty nofun build
>bored because it's shitty and nofun

Well, at least you're learning

You can't quite do big guns because it's not a stat anymore, but yeah it's fine if you spend a couple days (in-game) buying up enough ammo

To be fair I had precisely 120 caps to my name after buying Two-step goodbye so it felt in-game appropriate to go risk it in some toxic trap full of assholes for loadsamone. You're right in the game needing more stuff to spend in. All I think Im missing is augmentations and some furniture for a new Lucky 38 mod.

Time for Honest Hearts and see if I can actually finish Lonesome Road this time around. Fuck OWB.

>can't stop "powergaming" ever
>by level 5 i'm 100 pounds under the limit with full repaired leather armor and plenty of ammo for a good gun
i just can't STOP knowing where to loot things, and to not do it tickles my autism

Explosives and repair for bombmaking. It's very effective to play like a trapper or just bombard everyone once you get a nade lawnchair. A melee weapon helps if they get in close but you should set a minefield to defend you beforehand.

You'll find the Detonator is your best friend.

What overhalls should I use?

Also is there something that disables VATS? I never use it.

You fucking retard, leave some of that shit behind and fast travel a couple of times.

Use the good old combo of jsawyer, CCO and Project Nevada (sans the rebalance mod),
With PN you can use APs for bullet time instead of vats

Maybe you can unbind the v key?

>With PN you can use APs for bullet time instead of vats

If that exists, it should be a HEAVILY nerfed Perk. As in, you can only get that if you have certain special for it, and it takes several perks to upgrade ti to be half decent.

Just random max payne powers on a character is pretty OP.

Is there any mod that amkes people move more realistically in Fallout? Everyone has perfect four way running and it makes people hard to hit. Real world people are much easier to hit.

It's pretty shit m8, it's not Max Payne tier. If you use every possible cyberware module to upgrade it it becomes good

Which DLC should I do first?

this actually sounds fun as fuck, never really made much on the workbench because i found the UI for crafting to be the opposite of intuitive

>I want to replay Fallout: New Vegas as a sniper.
>Implying you can play as anything else

My prefered order

Honest Hearts (level 8ish) > Uninstall Dead Money > Old World Blues (level 15ish) > maybe lonesome road if I'm using ED-E

The bullshit about OWB is that enemies just blatantly spawn in front of you, the robot scorpions have SO MUCH HP, and they EXPLODE when they die, damaging you.

who /can't play another build even if i tried/ here

shotguns 4lyf nigga

>He has never gone unarmed only

Get a load of this losah.

Thanks!
