Solo Sniper
Fallout 76
Hybrid VATS Sniper
build
Published

WORK IN PROGRESS! This is a build centered around my ability to solo play as a sniper. It is hybridized for using VATS and scope. It was built for the Hunting Rifle, then adjusted for the Gauss Rifle. I find it works well for both, at least for now. I'm still missing my 4-Star Legendary prefixes. I imagine this build reads like many other solo/sniper builds.

Tried this build? Add a badge for what it does best, or agree with one that's already there.
