Rocket Launcher Crafter

<< < (3/3)

headshot:
I'll post the build of my crafter. It could be used for some PvE fights. It could be kinda hard to do some harsh PvP with such character, but it's good guide, car repairman and 3rd grade Big Guns Crafter. Oh, also I can make some jackets. ;)


Some people would ask "200% Big Guns? What for?"  As you see, this character's Strenght is 6, while Rocket Launcher requires 7. As you surely know, while your character's strenght is below the minimal for weapon you have -20% of weapon skill penality. So the "real" skill of B. Saltwater is 180% of Big Guns while using Rocket Launcher. It's enough to fight effective for max range with Launcher.
7 Perception gices you 41 hex sight range. It's enough for rocket launcher, cause it's range is 40 hexes. Sharpshooter gives you additional 6 hex of sight range.
7 Agility definitely wouldn't make him a TB ape, Nuka-Cola gives him 1 Agility and in this case one additional action point. It's enough to fire, reload and move one hex. (with Nuka-Cola, without only fire and reload)

fuzz:
I like it. Level 14 as I'm posting this, build is the same as in the calculator. I'll probably start with something similar after the wipe, rather than my usual Small Guns and Armorer Crafter.
So far I've always started the fight first. Flamer was amazing, only trouble was finding that god damn Still in Junktown. Spending twenty minutes looking fir it to get shitfaced wasn't fun at all. Also I wish I knew earlier that there is a Fruit patch in Modoc along with Wood to chop nearly, was shooting rockets already when I made the trip there. Flamer's Heaven I'd say as you got Workbench along with the Still in the nearby Farm. During the scorchin' phase I was roaming the surrounding areas of Theme-Park, gathering and hoarding batches of Electronic Parts for crafting rockets later.
Pack Rat saves the trips to grab High Quality Ores. Oh, and 80% Science is enough, saved points went into Big Guns.

EDIT: Didn't see headshot's post.

Also worth mentioning is what TheGreenHand has stated in other thread: "lower ST not only gives a skill penalty, but also increases the chance of critical failures.".
As for the high BG, the % chance of hitting is lowered when you're aim is blocked and you want to hit a target behind someone.

Stick:
Wearing decent armor you will most likely survive 2 lsw bursts from range, which is a very common attack in TB - and yes, take 2x bonus move, it's important in city maps and good in other maps aswell.
