Max DPS "Crit-or-miss"
Fallout 76
Min/Max, Bullet Storm, Onslaught, Cripple, VATS Crit
build
by Kotton
Published · Updated ·

Combines several high damage engines to achieve a VATS Crit DPS build. The main VATS mechanic is focused around ignoring accuracy by setting crit meter fill rate low enough that Four Leaf Clover proccs fill the bar, so every other shot is in VATS a crit, regardless of distance. We achieve this by combining 5/5 Limit-Breaker+Crit Savvy+Lucky Hit on top of a high Luck score from Unyielding. Keep Shooting!
