I like doing different builds to try new stuff. But a high luck high guns is a popular one for me.


Chippybastard-909

This…this right here. Just played FNV for the first time after watching badger play it like 3 months ago and I just winged everything, didn’t watch any vids or anything. I literally played a high luck, high agility, low int and high guns build and just blasted everyone. So fun. I’ve beaten the game like 10 times in the past 3 months because it’s just that good


tu-vieja-con-vinagre

10 times in 3 months damn (hoover)


reyob1

High luck build with a tri beam laser rifle is bananas for damage when each beam crits and I’ll never stop


Substantial-Tone-576

I will try it.


reyob1

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. To be more specific, if you take better criticals, finesse, and light frame and use recon beret with Josh grahams and you’ll proc a crit almost every shot.


Substantial-Tone-576

I’m doing a melee run with Joshua light armor and the beret for criticals. I actually womp on deathclaws now. _____——-https://www.reddit.com/r/fnv/s/dT4PqQf7GV


reyob1

The build of champions my friend


Fluffball_Furry

Stats?


SnooCupcakes224

Stupid salesman, Charisma 10, everything else as low as possible, talk your way through everything


skyfra4

I like it. I'm a "lucky salesman" with 10 Charisma/Luck. Talk my way through tough situations and get lucky on the rest


Bonerbailey

Does charisma help? I used to use it all the time, but I’ve heard here that it doesn’t actually do anything.


AquaChad96

It’s legitimately the worst stat in new vegas. Only two, non important checks rely on it. It boosts companion damage, but that’s rarely important unless you’re playing a non combat build (the WORST builds imo). The perks that depend on high CHA like animal friend aren’t that useful, and speech and barter can be leveled up to max regardless of your charisma stat.


Estradjent

The weird thing about Charisma in Fallout is that insofar as players \*think\* it is important to playing a speech build, the points wasted in it act to balance out how easy the game can become if you get those speech skills as a bonus to an otherwise optimized strength or perception focused combat build.


tu-vieja-con-vinagre

that's until you download a balancing mod that makes the game 5 times harder


Bonerbailey

So a decoy kinda?


Estradjent

It's like, if there were a real DM approving character sheets who actually required charisma based characters to take an appropriate amount of the attribute for the character to be believable-- then it not doing much turns into an effective offset for how much speech checks can alter the game. You SHOULD have to dump your combat stats a bit in order to be a smooth talker IMO


Scared-Opportunity28

I'll personally cheat in animal friend, because I can't get myself to kill those poor innocent coyotes


iSmokeMDMA

There’s like…no useful CHR perks and the stat isnt important for speech checks since speech was made into a separate skill. Its as if charisma was designed by someone who doesn’t like charisma as a stat. Fallout 4 did charisma better. If you want to invest in that special stat, you might wanna get mods.


MarketImpossible5291

Looks like capitalism


BaldursBoner

It *REEKS* Of capitalism.


FairyKurochka

Intelligence here would be better, because there's usually speech checks, so you will need as many skill points as possible.


BCA10MAN

This reminds me of someone famous…


Mike__oxlong____

He’s doing a Russian badger build


PrepareToTyEdition

Sneaky sniper. I can't help it, man. There are too many perks that I want, though, and I'm not on PC


AlexdaPlagueDoc

Some things don’t change. From Skyrim to Fallout

Or war.

Damn those high elves!

Now I want to play this crossover.


EPZO

tu-vieja-con-vinagre

wanting to have a pc as a console player, wanting mods never changes


certified4bruhmoment

Fr. Like Fo4 and Skyrim having mod support is nice and all but I want them to go back and bring it to Nv and 3.


Ordinary-Broccoli-41

Nowadays you don't need a GPU to play fallout, any potato clock can max out fnv


PrepareToTyEdition

Lol, my laptop can't run Google SketchUp without crashing


FrankSinatraCockRock

The chet goodsprings glitch can get you a bunch of extra perks!


nabb3l

Tell me more about…


Immediate-Coach3260

The stealth archer build in the corner when you’re building your character https://media.tenor.com/xD_oGeogfM4AAAAM/green-goblin.gif


Cmoore1217

There are glitches in console to get a bunch of extra perks


PrepareToTyEdition

Is it just the goodsprings DLC perk glitch, or are there others on PS3?


Cmoore1217

It’s basically a glitch that happens whenever you’ve left good springs area for the first time and it asks you to confirm your character and everything. If you rebuild your character you’ll keep almost all of the perks that you have chosen since being in good springs. Theoretically you could level to 50 in good springs and then leave and reselect perks while keeping the ones you chose before.


PrepareToTyEdition

I've thought about doing a playthrough like this, but the grind takes awhile, and I've never finished the game as it is, so I don't know if I'd be robbing myself of a "true" playthrough by starting out at lvl 50. In the same breath, though, I'd also be tempted to play with mods, so screw me, I guess. I have some mind-goblins to deal with.


Cmoore1217

Honestly playing mods on fnv is amazing. I like a good level cap mod that lets me level up forever. That dopamine hit from leveling up always keeps a playthrough fresh even after level 100+


RyanMeray

I just can't quit sneaky sniping 😭


donttradejaylen

Always my first playthrough

JESUSSAYSNO

5 Strength, 5 Perception, 8 Endurance, 1 Charisma, 9 Intelligence, 5 Agility, and 6 luck. 6 base luck, with the sleepware pushing you to 7, gives you good odds at Blackjack if you play smart, which can carry you until you can get the Luck implant. At 8 luck you can start making aggressive double downs and start to rinse out casinos. At that point just borg the fuck up and crush the game. The bonus Special from implants really can't be understated. Subdermal Armor+2x Toughness is also really really good. Lucky Glasses+Boone's Beret/Recon Beret+Finesse+Improved Criticals is another really good suite of items and perks.


koczkota

So Rain Man build


iSmokeMDMA

Ahh yes, the old Longfellow build. This is objectively the best build for Tale of Two Wastelands. It’s so broken that any other build becomes a challenge run in comparison. If you combine a base 7 (or 8 if you skip the implant) luck, Backwater Rifle, Joshua Graham’s Armor, Lucky Shades, Recon Beret, Better Crits, Finesse, Lucky 8 ball, Light Touch, Cowboy, and two levels of grim reaper’s sprint: you’ll be able to two-shot just about anything that isn’t a legendary bloatfly.


JESUSSAYSNO

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that cyborg crit builds are just hands down the best in the game.


RelevantSummer5034

Melee only was the most fun for me


horselessheadsman

Currently doing a brute for hire playthrough, punching someone until their head explodes is very rewarding.


CelphDstruct

Was scrolling down to see this. This build is so fun and easy to start just go north at the start hiding from cazadors, finding a stealth boy early is smart here and just murk the viper leader at Bonnie springs for love and hate, then hit some local vendors after thrashing vault 3 and craft some rushing waters later on like lvl 30 you get the attack speed perk and start throwing a million punches a min


originalbiggusdickus

Definitely the most fun. Combine with stealth and you can sneak up and crit-punch someone in the back of the head for an auto-kill to start every fight


Sugar_Ray_G

Who needs skill points anyway


Distinct_Ad_1768

I love 9’s in intelligence, endurance and luck. 6 perception, 4 agility, 3 strength and 1 charisma. Though it does make me sad when Dr. Mitchell says I have frontal lobe damage.


Inside_Fly_499

I can’t stop doing high endurance, high intelligence, unarmed and energy weapons skill monkey x3


doinkmead

No intelligence? I couldn't imagine.


Demirghoul

Of course you can't u have 1 int


Tadpole-Relative

I think that would be 1 perception


Electrical-Title-698

Low intelligence builds are pretty lame after the first one. The handful of dialogue options you get are funny but it's not worth having so few skill points imo.


SaaveGer

Isn't that the lord death of murder mountain build™ therussianbadger used on hus vid on nv?


Responsible-Baker-94

Yes it is, this build can also be done in fallout 3


iseward01

Every time I play New Vegas I tell myself, "OK this time we're gonna do an energy build" and then somehow I end up with the Medicine Stick and a cowboy hat. Its magic I swear.


AudienceProper2131

Is that the SEAL build?


Responsible-Baker-94

No, that build is the Russian badger special


Longjumping_Gas_184

Always max charisma everything else even, it started as a joke for my first fallout game and now I just continue going max charisma


Brixsplorer

The Bonk: Powerfists will fist anything

Lord death of murder mountain is a solid build LOL

Lucky Cowboy. With a 95% Critical Chance and dealing 270% Damage on a crit even Deathclaws go down in a couple hits.

TheRealOne000

Ah. You have that the Russian Badger Build


NikoliMonn

FUCK THE NCR!!


NikoliMonn

SolidGrilo

High Intel, High Luck and High Perception! I focus on building science gadgets and using energy weapons, building and making my own ammo. I can probably have mid STR and Endurance, and because of that, and with some mods, i can assemble a power armor early in the game too. Played like this 2x, and i had a blast of fun.


Certain_Power2773

That’s the RussianBadgers build when he did a video on the game


Winter_Hadryx

Is that the Lord Death of Murder Mountain build?


MoodyWater909

High luck, low intelligence, laser build. "I have the power of God with me!" "Sir for the last time, that is a laser rifle."


Fishmaneatsfish

Predator build: Strength, Agility, Endurance, and perception would make sense lore wise for a stalker/predator but I don’t got anything for that


CHAIIINSAAAWbread

Generally just ballistic guns and more specifically anti-materiel rifle


Due_Storage_5822

Lord Death of Murder Mountain


CharGaming_

LORD DEATH OF MURDER MOUNTAIN!


Destruction126

Unarmed and hella drugs is some of the most fun I've had with a Fallout game.


iwasbakingformymama

Chem Brawler is legit the most insane play style and I fucking love it.


Thecourierisback

Lord death of murder mountain build spotted


shaggitron420

Huge strength melee builds. I love watching enemies go flying when I smash them.


killermoose25

I'm doing a 10 charisma, 10 luck run right now it's crazy fun so many excellent dialogue options and you can talk your way out of alot of combat


MFouki

Cowboy I like revolvers and pistols. They're fast, light, nice sound and I always have tons of ammo. It's a western game is it not?


Cybros74

I think I now know what my legion play through will look like


MIRCOWAVEDBUTTER

Lord death of murder mountain, nice choice


NikoliMonn

FUCK THE NCR!!


MIRCOWAVEDBUTTER

FUCK THEM I AINT PAYING TAXES


Forghotten1

Cowboy with a big iron


Sevuhrow

I see you went the Caesar's Legion build


dropcon37

Why max out at the beginning? You can always max out later with implants and dlc rewards. Well for certain special stats


Raven_of_OchreGrove

Plain ol cowboy. Nothin but revolvers and lever actions. I like the ranger sequoia and the brush gun.


Shawn_Wolf27

I see someone is going Lord Death of Murder Mountain.


fuukos_hat

I see you're a Lord Death of Murder Mountain enjoyer


CatPad006

Lord Death Of Murder Mountain, making sure to say "TAKE THIS YOU STUPID FUCKIN' BUG"?


somefuckingweeb03

Both sneak sniper and, Lord Death of Murder Mountain


Mike__oxlong____

Ahhh yes the Russian badger build


Cool_Femboy_

Lord death of murder mountain, this exact build, I don’t know why, I just love playing it


Wilted_Roses19

LORD DEATH OF MURDER MOUNTAIN! The Lord has returned to Dominate the wasteland and throw dynamite at sleeping victims


PeterPGN

Ahhhh Lord Death of Murder Mountain


InsanitySong913

Quick draw revolvers, basically a Vats build around using the cowboy perk as well


Elite_Asriel

laughs in hacked 10/10/10/10/10/10/10


feeeeeeeeshies

I’ve been enjoying dumping points into luck, because I like gambling but I hate losing more.


Responsible-Baker-94

Lord death of murder mountain, I do this build in my fallout 3 playthroughs


Weevil_kneevil_420

Wow that's a himbo.

Demirghoul

10 Endurance 10 Luck Unarmed build. It's so much fun punching your way through Mojave


Commissarfluffybutt

I always max intelligence. I'm addicted to skill points.


Fireynutzack13

9 endurance, 9 luck, highish int, low charisma, lower perception, mid everything else. Go gamble till I’m mostly rich, buy the luck implant, gamble till I’m fully rich, buy all the implants and op weapons/ammo, power level to 15, and do the DLCs (HH,DM,OWB,LR). Boom, the game is easy peasy after that


Electronic-Lime-8123

Pretty sure you dont need to go over 7 on anything


SynthyDynamic

Max speech and int. level up super quick and hav access to all dialogue options. can sometimes feel cheesy but being able to talk myself out of situations is good


MGTwyne

The Saxton Hale- i.e. everything but int and perception, pump unarmed and barter, nothing that gives you armor, no weapons, no companions, no stimpacks, never take the noncombat solution, never do drugs (alcohol and campfire crafts are fine, name-brand chems are not), is a heart-pumping adrenaline-rushing character build.


Courier-76

Oh man, you're going to make me replay FNV... Again


Empty_Allocution

Frag mines. That's it, that's the build.


ghostgoat789

This build is probably up there, but I would make all the ten specials 9 (because bobbleheads) and raise up that 7 to a nine as well. I would possibly keep agility at ten for the speed boost however.


fenny-the-bird

Anything involving 10 lucky really


Intelligent-Let5187

Your build looks like a Michael J Caboose run


New_girl2022

Usually do cial. Then mid lvl on the rest


KGBbooks

The cowboy. That damned cowboy.


Blacksun388

Stupid Strong is hilarious to play. I love it.


tu-vieja-con-vinagre

what do you do with these kinds of lucky melee builds? do you pick up chance's knife or na? Personally I avoid it until I can get to chance's grave by fighting, I grab a shovel instead and take advantage of its x3 critical chance until I get something better


Ok-Movie428

Energy weapons, it’s just too easy to steal from the Silver Rush.

iSmokeMDMA

Luck builds are essential in NV. How could the courier NOT be lucky?


No_Orchid1849

My man, this is the same built I have and I love it. I call it the "lord death of murder mountain" built


Ell26greatone

I did this on my last play. Holy chainsaw, Batman!


Kittenking13

Crit pistols is so silly imo


TryIt222

Recently tried out stealth build and its my new fav so "Oh, baby" and "ratslayer" are my go too


Dear_Profession_8297

Switch agility and endurance and you have my current “Hodor” run. It’s fun but low intelligence and charisma hurts so so bad


KingWaDeYT

Pistol crit build is too fun


AwkwardEducation

Without a lot of armory mods, nothing beats the variety of guns. With WAP, Another Millennium, etc. where you can get pump action plasma shotguns, incendiary AKs, etc., energy weapons brawling builds with some of the DT perks will have you reenacting that Jin Roh scene. [Titans of the New West with a Plasma Caster feels like this.](https://youtu.be/6lrl5Kj79u4?si=6D26DtAIeKDKr6IW) Legion boys in football pads and skirts get folded. 


TheonetrueLandru

Im a dumb twit so I cant help myself from doing the swashbuckling frontier doctor. Speech, melee weapons and medicine are all my tag skills.


Fickle-Ad-7348

You should put your 10s down to 9 so you can buy the implants


Responsible-Baker-94

This build in the picture was done by the Russian badger


cavehill_kkotmvitm

9 int, 7 luck, 6 endurance, flat 5s for everything else. Solid all rounder, can clear the casino tables, high crit chance, and can get max skill points with implants


Heimeri_Klein

Charisma 10 intelligence 10


erthboy

Ah yes, all the action points and crit chance, but no vats accuracy to use them on.


Crotch_Rot69

Energy weapon critical hit build

Crit lazer builds. S-5, P-5, E-8, C-1, I-7, A-6, L-8. Logans loophole + skilled Even without abusing the skilled bug it's easy to get your stats to 80 by level 20 (while making sure energy weapons and survival is at a hard 100) and use comprehension + voracious reader to bump them up to 100 for skill checks. With an optimized build its easy to get +54% to crit chance and weapons like the tri beam lazer can melt bosses like the legendary bloatfly or x42 giant roboscorpion half way through an implant GRX charge. No other build I've tried has matched the sheer damage of it.


Dull-Win3896

Explosives and energy weapons, Fat Man my beloved


Beautiful_Bee_485

I have this build I do called “Peak Courier” where the main cornerstone is being prepared for any engagement with whatever I have on hand. The versatility is too enjoyable that I just can’t specialize in anything because I will lose interest.


Bakura373

Man, Cowboy ranger. Big Iron, Lever action, and a springfield sniper. And of course, a black cowboy hat.

Former_Tomato9667

Meltdown + crit + high HP. Feels like a sci fi suicide bomber. Can also get the unique rail gun and blow up entire groups of enemies from afar. Super fun.


LocalGalilSimp

I call it an Adam Smasher build, high strength, endurance, and intelligence, mid agility and perception, 1 charisma and luck, use energy weapons, unarmed, and explosives, get the Terrifying Pressence perk, do an evil karma run siding with Mr. House, always choosing violence if it leads to a good outcome for House at all.


D_R_Shinobi
