I wear data-based helmets or a sharp combat armour piece with ushanka when out of armor. To this end I think I started with STR 9, Int 9, LCK/PER/CHA/AG as dump stats and the rest in Endurance which I focused on with your SPECIAL and adding to throughout the game. Also no lockpicking or hacking (just Cait and Nick) Also no making things easy via stealth and blitz (legitimate strategies people are welcome to use but I’m purposely embracing the difficulty). So very little VATS use (only really to identify enemy locations). In particular no minute-men stuff (until I finish the main game as Institute), focusing on the story until I reach the institute and playing it more like a FPS shooter than an action-rpg. On my recent starting of survival I decided to purposely play a different game to what I had when Fallout 4 came out. You’re a survivor, you know how to provide yourself with a safe shelter, water, and fire to cook the food you went out hunting for. Settlements are little personal outposts. road leathers, disciple’s gear, muffled leather, etc.) Give the highest priority to anything that makes you look more like a post-apocalyptic badass that kills from the shadows (i.e. Give priority to armor that has muffled/sneak-friendly mods. Always ask for more caps (hence the higher charisma, also gets you lower prices). Work/scavenge for caps as often as possible so you can buy better weapons, armor, and supplies when needed. don’t do that.)Īll weapons, armor, and mods are scavenged or bought from vendors/caravans. Do whatever, today is not the day you die! (unless you blow yourself up. Use mines to disrupt their plans of following you. If you do get yourself caught in a bad situation, that’s where Demolition Expert comes in. Only use VATS for Blitz (great for stealth killing high-level enemies). Take all perks that increase damage, especially stealth and silenced damage. Try to find a silenced long-range weapon ASAP. +END gear can help with this if you want, but you still need to be smart with how you approach an engagement to make sure you don’t get yourself caught in bad situations. Low endurance means low health, so you need to kill fast or be killed fast. You’re more brutal and uncaring, and do whatever it takes to improve your chances of short- and long-term survival. But it’s not the typical sneaky-archer type. This build has high agility, so yes this is more of a stealth type build. Recommended to get Perception bobblehead early too for Demolition Expert. Put extra point from You’re Special! into Agility (for Blitz). But anyway,įavorite survival build: Shadow of the Apocalypse (Survivalist build no mods required) And admittedly, I try to build a decontamination arch as early as possible. I never did a no-settlement survival build, might have to give that a try! I always end up building up at least a couple that I can retire to and re-up on water. Still got one-shot killed a fair number of times in the first two dozen or so levels but never lacked for resources. Stripped most weapon mods off of guns looted from opponents or bought from merchants so I didn’t need the crafting perks either. Rarely even used stimpaks, RadAway or Rad-X in order to avoid the side-effects and got by on cooked food and Refreshing Beverages for healing instead. I was able to avoid settlement building and live off the land. The other starting SPECIAL stats allowed me get the other perks that I though helped: Armorer, Rifleman, and Lone Wanderer. I also poured points into Endurance both for the hit points and because, in my opinion, the best perks to mitigate survival mode are on that tree: Toughness, Lead Belly, Aqua Boy/Girl, Adamantium skeleton and –especially– Solar Powered.
