Burster, sniper, gunslinger... Whatever, anything that uses small guns and that is relatively easy for a newbie to use and get used to.

Preferably something with FA, OTDM and no drugs.



I'm horrible at making characters.

[Giftless]

People are going to hate me for saying this; but for my newb build I said forget about first aid and went with the chem resistant trait. Why? Because without being able to "sleep it off," it's very helpful in clearing out the negative effects of healing powders.

Another decent combo is to have Bruiser as a starting trait and then counter-act its downside with Bonus Move as your first perk. I could show you more, but keep in mind I'm a PvE, turn-based builder.

[Giftless]

For your tags I'd say small guns, outdoorsman, and repair. Repair is actually pretty important in Fallout Online because it gives you a weapons, ammo, and armor base to work from; so even if you decide to start a new character you'll be able to outfit them quickly no matter what items are scarce in your area. It's also a good idea to keep a spare set of everything in case you get PKed--never wear what you can't replace.

Try Mad Max Wannabe char:

[DeputyDope]

there's too much outdoorsman skill 130-150% is enough.

[lucas.]

Thank you for all your answers, they all helped me, especially the Mad Max wannabe one. 


I ended up doing something slightly similar to what people told me:

S.P.E.C.I.A.L: 4 7 10 3 5 10 1

Traits: fast shot

Skills: sg 201%, FA 100%, OTDM 170%.

Perks: weapon handling, strong back, sharpshooter, lifegiver, action boy (2), lifegiver+, bonus rate of fire


Hasn't given me any problems yet, hopefully this'll be enough until I need one of those one-purpose builds.


Also... I know it's Off-Topic but I really don't want to make another thread just for one question:

I keep reading about spears and pelts giving a certain amount of caps and xp, are those caps fixed like shovelling shit is or they just use the spears' value as reference to what they're worth when trading?


A stable amount of real caps would be very useful to me this early in the game... Unless it involves shovelling crap.

I think that First aid is more useful than doctor for new

Traits: fast shot

Skills: sg 201%, FA 100%, OTDM 170%.

Perks: weapon handling, strong back, sharpshooter, lifegiver, action boy (2), lifegiver+, bonus rate of fire

Fast Shot working only with Single shot, it's not working with Burst. You want smg-single_shot character? Or Fast-shot not_aimed sniper?
4 STR + Weap.Handl=6_STR. For what? Such STR is necessary only for H&Kcaws, but this shit.
For Pistol, except .223 is required no more than 4 STR, for Good rifles, as Sniper, Assault, FN Fal and .223 pistol 5 STR, for all smg 4 str. What you want ?))

And if you want smg char I recommend to pay attention even to two perks Bonus Range Damage

About traits: small frame + chem. reliant(for drugs, nuka and cigs. it's working 1 hour with it, To get not difficultly)\ one hander(for smg-character or .223 pistol) \fast metabolism (for 100% non-drug char)

4 strg for carry weight.

Wep handling for two handed rifles.

[Zloj_Varg]

4 strg for carry weight.

Wep handling for two handed rifles.

You should be defined. Or smg or rifles. with 1 luck Very silly to create character for rifles, smg more better. For smg 4 str enough, without Weap. handling.
