I think my weapon skills are at like.
45% small guns
48% big guns (tagged)
Gonna work on them next levels some. Only level 4 atm.
Didn't have a specific build so I just went with what I generally pick for my Fallout 1 and 2 character.
Has been going pretty well so far.
Built a tent, scavanged around New Reno for scrap, turned those in BB's, sold for ammo/weapons.
Lol, been just upgrading a CQC gun... snagged a flamer, a SMG, round for the SMG, some stimpacks and just been stockpiling. Got about 2k caps now, but have to be extra careful.
While I was in Vault City, this one player kept trying to steal my stuff. Stole my old shovel, got caught, but my flamer didn't have the range to get her.
So I snagged the SMG and put some flint/broc flowers in my inventory as bait. She stole, got caught and I shot her for 14 damage but she got away.
I figured "She wouldn't try it again now."
She did try again, lol. I stood there, SMG out, burst mode on, and just waited. She walked around a bit, then ran up and tried to steal my broc flowers, without relizing I already had her targeted and waiting for the red text. She got caught by the guard, and as she ran I shot her in the back with a burst, did 31 damage, killed her. Felt good.
I'm mostly just looking for some armor now.
Kinda get the feeling i'd not run the risk of being shot at as often if I'm not just wearing a newbie jumpsuit.
