  • Grab Spray n Pray from Cricket to start, as early as outside Diamond City

  • Kiloton Radium Rifle is a guaranteed upgrade in Far Harbor

  • Explosive Combat Shotgun is best, but requires luck or farming

    If you get one or want to farm one you could take Rifleman instead, or just use an auto receiver

Don't shoot at your feet or you will blow up, too

Other crafting and qol passives are up to you

HP/Regen/Rad Regen recommended for Survival mode

WastelandOperator A beginner-friendly, close-range build focused on exploration, crafting, and practical survival. As a Quartermaster, you make the most of the equipment and resources you find, modifying and maintaining your gear to stay prepared for whatever the wasteland throws at you. Rather than relying on a single specialised playstyle this build gives you the flexibility to explore, fight up close and use crafting to steadily expand your capabilities
