A heavy weapons build mainly for being a ghoul and using energy weapons but can use whatever you need and have some cha perks thrown in for team content. This is also not using power armor.

Commando Bow Leveling
Fallout 76 Just a full build I can use to level using bows and later commando build

This is my current build for leveling as bow up to level 200-300 before switching to a commando build. No idea how good it works.

I will probably later add a fourth tab how I would start early on without special points or minimal ones, just to get a feeling.
