Fallout 4: Tactician Build Fallout 4 Guide
Last update: 17 April 2024
Fallout 4 gameplay is dynamic and fast. Rarely do you get any chance to plan your attack or to take a good aim. For those, who prefer a slower-paced gameplay, we have prepared a Tactician build that relies on using the V.A.T.S. system, which will make the game resemble, at least in part, the first installments of the franchise.
Statistics
You receive 21 points to distribute. Unfortunately, a character that mainly relies on V.A.T.S. Requires lots and lots points of statistics. You will not be able to raise certain statistics while leveling up. Your base statistics should be as follows:
- Strength: 2
- Perception: 10
- Endurance: 3
- Charisma: 1
- Intelligence: 2
- Agility: 10
- Luck: 9
Recommended perks
The perks that you pick after you level up, should be centered around taking advantage of the V.A.T.S. One of the key issues is the ability to score critical damage and the option to stack them. Perks from the Luck tree should be your priority.
