[Matulaak]

I want to play a sniper character who is never seen and gets one hit kills if not two, I know I need high perception, intelligence and luck but how high are we talking? also does anybody know the build Roman is using? Right now my  build is:
S 5
P 6
E 5
C 1
I 9
A 5
L 9

Tags: small guns, first aid and sneak.
Perks: small frame and four eyes

let me know what you think pls!

[Matulaak]

do I even need that much agility? and should I get the finesse perk?

[Myakot]

Make PE higher, lower ST (use Weapon Handling, this perk should be nerfed IMO).
You won't need four eyes, since the latest patch sneaking with a rifle is a suicide. If you are building a sneaking-glass-cannon then why the heck are IN and LK are not both 10?

Spoiler for Hiden:

P.S.
With such PE when using sneak you're basically like:

Sneak sniping is very hard to manage at the moment man. If you walk around with your rifle in hand you lose 15% of your sneak (thats 30 for 200 sneak) and 30% when running (60!) so you basically can never run while sneaking with your rifle, and you have to keep it in your inventory while running around.

Not to mention that holding a rifle with ammo, will currently put you over the weight threshold, which will make secs burn at double the rate (or triple or more).

Plus on top of that sneaking reduces PE by 3 so you will need mentats or a very high natural perception to compensate.

Impossible.

[Matulaak]

lol, okay F the sneaking then. I just stick with a sniper.

[Matulaak]

I ended up making a character with the following stats:
S 5
P 7
E 5
C 1
I 9
A 6
L 7

Tag: small guns, first aid and sneak

Perks: four eyes and small frame

Is this good or should I start over again? thank you three for the advice, greatly appreciated

Luck at 9 doesn't make as much of an impact as lower numbers so 9 luck is livable even for a crit character, though I would suggest 10 int and 10 pe.

It is also true that you will never be able to 1 shot someone with a sniper rifle (besides maybe bluesuits, maybe), but 2-4 shots is possible depending.

As for finesse, that is a big NO do not take finesse imo. And in regards to strength, 6 is for heavy snipers and beyond, 5 is the biggest SGs, having 3 st and weapon handling though will make you very vulnerable to KOs and weapon drops.

[Myakot]

Carefully read what "Weapon Handling" perk does, and consider swapping those 2 ST somewhere else.
LK is needed for you, since it doesn't only give you base crit\aimed crit, but also Crit.Res AND crit. strength (crit-roll). Which basically decides whether or not you'll live.

And also, what's up with the lack of perk-list? If you didn't decide with which to go, this build is not even remotely though out. (Besides just start the game, you'll be able to re-roll later anyway).

and weapon drops.

Every1 targets head\groin =\. No one aims for hands.

IMO drop AG to put luck at 9, int at 10 and pe as high as you can. Then take critical agility as a perk to compensate your low AG.

That is just my opinion, though. To be honest I value bruiser more than small frame as, knockdowns are extremely common and will get you killed frequently, where as a sniper you will often be standing still to regenerate AP anyway. Plus it is an extra special point.

[Matulaak]

To be honest I haven't even leveled up ever nor do I know how tom so, I never really took a look at the perks I could get. Guess I should eh?

In normal PvP I would agree, but in ZC I get my arms shot at frequently. Big guns seem to get shot in the arms a lot too, but as a sniper I found crit st to be one of the best investments because of the frequency of weapon drops I had, even with 4 st and weapon handling.

[Matulaak]

I should also say I plan on using the M1C as a weapon therefore I require 5 ST, I never knew there was a perk that gave you an extra 2

umm, there are two perks that give me +2 PE, so why does it matter if its at 7 right now?

[mAdman]

Specifically you will definitely want; Bonus rate of fire, Silent hill death, hawkeyes, bloodthirst.

Then its your choice  for the others but i would suggest choosing between; living anatomy, sharpshooter, psychopath, fast reload. Or some defensive perks like critical agility or strength, adrenaline rush or armor efficiency.

The main point is to make sure your sneak gets to 200 and SG to 250, which can be done with 9 int i think, but it will leave your FA quite low.

Hawkeyes is the critical choice here, sharpshooter is good, but hawkeyes is a more important choice IMO.

Hawkeyes = Sight range
Sharpshooter = Very small gun range buff, but shooting people outside of effective range (but still within max range) is easier.

I dont think I'll take Silent Hill Death because I do not do melee combat once so ever, unless I should as a sniper?

[Myakot]

Stop reading the description, goddamnit!
It's an Omage to the Pyramid Head ><, it means nothing gameplay-wise. This perk works for every type of weapon.

[Matulaak]

I should also say that the reason Im choosing sniper is because I only play with one other person and we tend to keep a distance so I thought it would make sense to be a sniper so I could scout out the area without being seen and possibly take out some targets.
