      @@Eric-gd6fr i just go straight for the explosive radium rifle in the nucleus because its less than 1000 caps. You can buy it with sanctuary gold bars. Plus everything you see on tables in the nucleus is free and can be sold back to the vendors there. Its just like nuka world market in that sense. Then do the mariners quest for 4k caps. Theres a guy carrying like 4k caps during the quest. All you gotta do is take it. Hes the guy who approaches you and tries to buy the tools. Do not sell him the tools. You have to kill him to get all the caps, but you can not just kill him outright. Attempt to pickpocket him and fail. This will aggro him, allowing your kill to be considered "self defense". This way you wont be locked out of other quests for killing him and you get an easy 4k caps. Also, little known fact, but the robes of atoms devoted you get upon entering the nucleus offer radiation immunity, AND give you full hp while sumultaneously allowing you to max rads. You can exploit this for double damage AND keeping full HP when using the perks "crusader of atom" or "inquisitor of atom". Its much better than walking around with 10% HP. The robes can accept ballistic weave as well. So youll still have at least halfway decent armor while having full HP. You can always use mods that allow for clothing layering with armor if you really want to, but its not actually needed for the build to work. It also scales with junkies weapons. Another fun fact, junkies scales all damage types. A junkies gamma gun with lorenzos artifact on an inquisitor of atom character can one shot literally anything without stealth or crits. It even multiplies the explosive range of the explosion. Its unbeliebably overpowered. Especially with the repeater on it, which makes each vats shoot 3 shot bursts. It makes the explosive combat shotgun look like a toy. Ive compared them and its not even remotely close. Junkies automatic lorenzos artifact gun blows every other weapon out of the water. Just keep in mind that it even though its called "automatic", it doesnt benefit from commando, but instead uses gunslingers.
      Btw, its technically possible to end up with both inquisitor of atom and crusador of atom perks, which quadruples your damage, BUT its glitchy. Im not entirely sure how it happened. I was playing on survival and died and lost a bunch, then when i redid the quests i did them differently the second time. Then noticed my damage was INSANE, so i checked my perks and saw i still had the other perk too as if i had done the quests the other way. So aslong as i kept the robes of atoms devoted on i had full HP, full rads, and rad immunity, plus 4× damage, times the 2.8 times damage from junkies. I was doing well over 10 times normal damage per shot, not even including the fact that the artifact gun benefits from demolition expert, and gunslinger, AND nuclear physicist. ALL of those perks scale together too. It gets to like 30× damage or more compared to a lvl 1 character

    I loved my survival playthrough. Couple of tips:
    - Creating settlements and having caravans between them is useful.
    - Get rid of all molotovs. If you equip them by mistake and throw one thinking it's a grenade in close quarters, you are pretty much done.
    - Joining the institute will let you teleport to their headquarters, which can somewhat mitigate the lack of fast travel.
    - Strong back is a must.
    - Companions are useful as extra carrying space.

    Excellent video! The "no Sneak" was an interesting wrinkle. It's pretty much a given for me on Survival.
    Challenge ideas:
    Institute Laser only (an easy one, since the Danse quest gives you so much ammo).
    .44 pistol only (no silencer and rare ammo early on)
    Finish Nuka World with Raider gear only (raider armor and pipe weapons to get through the Gauntlet, then anything you can get in the park itself)

    I love playing games at high difficulty, and for that, sniper builds are THE way to go for me, if I wanna have any kind of immersion. - Otherwise enemies are just bullet sponges, and game balance then turns automatic guns into pretty much just... airsoft rifles.
    Playing sniper actually makes bullets feel real, plus it plays into the whole idea of "ammo is supposed to be scarce, make the most of every bullet".
    And when resource management becomes a thing, it also becomes the only viable way to play. - Look at Elden Ring, where you have a maximum of 198 arrows you can carry on you at a time, if you want to play primarily with bows or crossbows, you end up -needing- to play for maximum damage per unit of ammunition, otherwise you might kill things fast but you'll end up not being able to kill as many things before needing to refill.

      But avoiding stealth doesn't make much sense. So no sneak skill but sneaking seems right. Because even with a surpressed rifle and stealthing about enemies will find you, so every dungeon quickly evolves into "stealth is optional"

    A few things:
    1. There is a guaranteed Pipe Bolt Action Sniper Rifle in Concord. To find it, stand at the door to the Museum of Freedom (as if you’re about to go inside). Turn left. The last house on the right at the far end of the street can be entered. Upstairs is the Rifle. No ammo, but it’s an easy and quick way to get a starter Sniper Rifle.
    2. Non-ballistic damage is bugged. It only uses the weapon mods to determine damage. Perks, Magazines, Bobbleheads, etc, are not included. A mod was recently released that corrects that (Energy Weapon Calculation Fix), which I highly recommend downloading immediately.

    @rmartinson19 Před 6 měsíci +3

    At first I was like "What do you mean 'Can I survive'? Stealth Sniper is like the easiest build to run with!" But then I saw your rules, and I stood corrected. Some of them aren't so bad though. I almost never use VATS (too immersion-breaking and annoyingly unreliable) or power armor (too clunky, and it adds complications to your logistics and capabilities as a player that outweigh the benefits, imo) in my runs anyway, so I just shrugged there. But yeesh, nothing BUT sniper weapons and no Sneak Perk? That's painful.

    • @WillowPlaysGames
      @WillowPlaysGames  Před 6 měsíci +2

      power armor makes runs so much easier once you learn how to stock up on fusion cores, it does make stealth impossible but the way it allows you to tank damage is really really useful. It feels less clunky when you use it enough and get around it's movement. VATS isn't immersion breaking to me as it is a part of the lore and overall I find it extremely reliable as long as you build correctly.

    • @rmartinson19
      @rmartinson19 Před 6 měsíci +3

      @@WillowPlaysGames Yeah, by about the mid-game, fusion cores are not a problem anymore. As for the rest, I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I know that VATS is a real thing in the lore, but, as ridiculous as this might sound considering that I'm talking about a video game, it's too "video gamey" for me. It just doesn't FEEL realistic to the setting or the environment, even though it genuinely is.
      As for Power Armor, it just doesn't fit my preferred playstyle. I tend to play fast, stealthy, skill-and-strategy based character builds. Power Armor is a blunt instrument made for brute force, which is anathema to the way I like to play. The added annoyance of keeping up on fusion cores and part repairs, as well as the major crimp carrying broken or spare power armor parts puts on your carrying capacity, is just the icing on the cake of why I don't like to use it.

    Of course it's possible! Things can go sideways when there are too many enemies very close to you and snipers are very low on speed when it means to take down folks in close distance.

    Dead could make sense if the safehouse doesn't know who or where anyone from the main base is.
    They would only know where the dead drop is and could have some long-range signal to indicate a message ready for pickup. Whether our flag is raised or if a certain light is on.This would provide a long distance signal to indicate the dead drop is ready for pickup.
    Im this scenario the dad drops me set up for a long time and if the super mutants moved in after we set up the railroad outpost we have no choice but run the dead drop to that location anyway.

    CHALLAGE IDEA- Can you beat fallout 4 with only power armor

    Only armor you can use is power armor
    good luck :)

    I'm a little surprised you never attempted to get a Gauss Rifle. I understand that the ammo is heavy in survival mode, while also being rare and expensive, but it really would've come in handy for some of the tougher encounters towards the end of the game. Oh wait, is it because it never technically gets the word "sniper" in the name even if you mod it into what is effectively a sniper rifle? Or maybe you felt it would've made the end-game too easy?
    Also, this was a great video, and I'm impressed that you beat the game as a sniper, while on the highest difficult (plus survival mode) in addition to having so many self-imposed restrictions. Great job! 😄👏

    • @WillowPlaysGames

    No shot I would do this run as anything but brotherhood, traveling with vertibirds is invaluable, also when he laid out the rules for the run I honestly thought he was gonna be a true psychopath and use vanilla scopes, which are ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE... The lines are so thin you can't see them even on the best backdrops, and anything even slightly dark?... So like... The whole game... Yeah those lines disappear, and from any true range you can barely tell if you're dead center even when you can see the lines, so I definitely understand modding scopes I do the same thing even on PS4, I use a hand painted style scope (no idea how they did it either cause they can only use vanilla assets which makes me feel like Bethesda had all these better options and then just consciously used... THE WORST FUCKIN ONE EVER IN ALL OF HISTORY), also when he mentioned which guns can get the sniper suffix I immediately thought of the handmade lol, fully decked out it hits the hardest with the fastest fire rate (truly as fast as you can pull the trigger) with a quick eject 75 round drum mag, suppressor and no recoil lol

    While many suggestions are fanciful, this one I’ve actually done-> No Aid items consumption. No Power Armor. No Companions. Survival.
    The last 3 are pretty standard. The interesting twist is no aid items. No Stimpacks, RadAway. No Chems/drugs. No Stealth Boys. No Nuka Colas. No water. No food. Anything listed in the Aid Items section.
    (I did allow for noodle cups, to heal hunger and thirst fatigue states. If you use them to clear both states, you won’t heal hp).
    It’s not a crazy hard challenge. It’s fun. You look at perks differently when they are what you use to survive. You also have to adapt to a different playstyle. If you want a little extra challenge, kill the institute-> can’t eat synths 👹👹👹

  • @mitechko
    @mitechko Před 6 dny

    Sorry for necroposting. Tinker Tom sells a unique sniper rifle. Its special feature relates to VATS, so it would not be useful in this run, but it comes with a silencer, so doing sneaky sniper shots is a lot easier with it. You would have a lot less trouble sniping people in many locations. Even without the Sneak perk.

  • @somberskies4050

  • @richardmiller4055
    @richardmiller4055 Před 5 měsíci

    i will say the best weapon in all of fallout for a sniper option would be the handmade rifle( nuka-world dlc), once fully crafted out with all the top notch mods and scope you prefer and also having furious on it makes for one heck of a sniper style rifle cause its accuracy on it is phenomenal and it barely recoils. im tempted to try this challenge myself. also another good sniper based weapon would be the manwell carbine/rifle from the manwell rifle set creation club content, it has the same recoil config as handmade rifle.

    @semajniomet981 Před 6 měsíci

    `21:45 Fun fact: The usual armaments of a sniper typically consist of a pistol as well as a rifle. Using a pistol in CQC wouldn't violate the run in my books, so long as you don't have a pistol build.
    Someone actually tried using IRL sniper tactics in a FPS. It worked out rather well for him.
    `38:35 Next challenge: Can I beat Fallout 2 (other than the Temple of Trials) with just a Solar Scorcher? Answer: No. You'd run out of ammo too often, and you can only charge it in really bright light. In addition, you'd have to cheat in the Scorcher, as it's only available in a unique random encounter that's unlocked at level 12.
    If you cheat one or two in at the beginning of the game in or around Arroyo, then I don't see a problem with that.

    I have an idea for a challenge run... A Legendary Challenge Run. Using the following rules:
    You can only use LOOTED Legendary weapons and armour. Which means no mission rewards or legendary items bought from vendors.
    You must use the Legendary Apocalypse mod.
    You must also use the War of the Commonwealth mod.
    And of course, you'll be playing it on Survival Difficulty.
    I have already completed this run twice, including playing through the three main DLCs (Far Harbor, Automatron and Nuka World). Although I have no video to prove it, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
