VATS-Fixer/Perfect Storm/CE/EXCAVATOR
Fallout 76
build
Published · Updated

Easy build based on quest reward gear and minimum grind. The Fixer can be upgraded to a legendary later when plans are acquired (player vendors are the quickest and easiest way). After Civil Engineer Armor and Excavator Power Armor plans are learned, they can be upgraded as legendary versions are found or awarded.
