Fallout 4 Grim Marksman
 
 
A VATS Rifle built to decimate your enemies.
 
Built for damage, but not a glass cannon. Very lucky and agile, but not
 
that intelligent – Idiot savant picks up the leveling pace nicely.
 
Thank you to The_Internuncio on reddit for vats stats on the weapons,
 
it really helped to decide the weapons for this build.
 
 

Introduction

This build is specifically for VATS. Weapon, perk, and SPECIAL choices reflect that. Priorities were damage, and AP with some damage mitigation. Luck perks are just too good to overlook, so this build is focused on agility and luck. Perception would have been nice as it increases the accuracy in VATS, but it can be boosted late game. This means that this build will work best at short, and mid ranges from your targets. Not a sniper build.
 
 
Nice thing about this build is if you want to use it for pistols, just substitute “Rifleman” for “Gunslinger”. Favorites for pistols: Deliverer, Kellog’s pistol.
 
 
This build is not built around any role playing, but to damage output.
 
If you want a companion other than Dogmeat, don’t get the lone wanderer perk. Substitute it out using the recommended “further leveling” perks.
 
 
 

SPECIAL

Beginning Special Stats
 
S3 P2 E1 C3 I2 + 1 (SPECIAL book) A10 L7
 
 
Some stats will be boosted later, but this is the best for starting out.
 
 
 

Weapons and armor

Preferred Weapons and mods
 
Recoil Compensated Railway Rifle (Mods: Standard Receiver, Short Barrel, Reflex Sight)
 
Overseer’s Gaurdian (Mods:.308 Receiver, Short Light Barrel, Short Stock, Reflex Sight)
 
 
Armor: Light armor. Be sure to use mods that enhance your AP.
 
 
Weapons were chosen to balance number of shots in VATS and damage.
 
Really like adding +1 Luck and Gun fu after level 50 – the damage to multiple targets is huge.
