1 : Wasteland Farmer
Description:
The shotgun and hunting rifle are the main weapons and the scrap of the waste land is your main ally. Attack dog and Lead Belly gives this build the special touch allowing you to carry more and save stimpacks (using them on dog meat makes him that much more helpful). A significant part of this play style is settlement building. To counteract the lack of damage the armorer, life giver and toughness perks are taken. Although you dont have high agility your accuracy in vats will be good because of the high perception. Most of the combat will just be upclose shotgun and hunting rifle while dog meat is holding the enemy down. In addition to dog meat the basher perk will help save some ammo.
While playing this build try to avoid visiting markets for scrap. Instead enjoy scouring the wasteland with your dog, hunting and cooking. The lead belly and strong back perks should help with this. As a challenge try not to use any chems.
2 : Big Mama
Description:
This wastelander has a history of a demolition expert for the army. Waking from the vault this lady is out for blood. She is tough with a free spirit and looks to punish raiders and thieves of the commonwealth for the death of her kid. Her desire is to make sure tyrants pay. The people should be free to make their own way and be secure. As Hancock says, the best type of anarchy.
The build starts out focusing on getting damage from explosives and rifles using gun nut. Then around lvl 11 pivots to big guns. After freeing the synths in the commonwealth do the same in Far Harbor. This build is a mix between sustain and damage. The first part is about managing resources but once you get a missile launcher damage is not the problem. Just make sure you have enough ammo and youll have enough fire power to rain down justice.
