Also be sure to have something for in case the enemy gets close like a lever action rifle or pistol. Once you get a sniper rifle be sure to get a silencer for it as well.

Sneak shots guarantee a crit more often then not. One thing you have to remember about this Fallout New Vegas sniper build is that is relies heavily on you sneaking. At level 30 you should be dropping hordes of enemies without much issue anyways. Lvl 28: Tag! (At this point you have the key sniper perks for buff something up) Lvl 26: Nerves of steel (Faster action point regeneration) Lvl 24: Concentrated fire (Increases vats accuracy even more per body part selected) Lvl 22: Grim Reaper’s Sprint ( A kill in vats will refund some action points) Lvl 20: Better criticals (Increases your crit damage by 50%) Lvl 18: Acton boy/girl (More action points) Lvl 16: Jury rigging ( Being able to fix you sniper with something similar that isn’t a sniper is a big help)

Lvl 14: Silent running (Being sneaky the key to a good sniper this helps you move quicker while you’re in stealth) Lvl 12: Sniper (Increased chances for headshots)

Lvl 10: Finesse (More crit chance is always nice) Lvl 8: Commando (Increases accuracy in Vats… Yup) Lvl 6: Bloody Mess (More damage overall and gruesome deaths) Lvl 4: Educated ( Maxing out you skills quickly is very nice) Lvl 2: Rapid Reload ( Honestly at level 2 there isn’t much to help your sniping ability so why not reload quicker.) Here is how I would level up my perks as well. So that’s the base for the Fallout New Vegas sniper build. Remember you can go the the New Vegas Clinic and get a couple permanent stat upgrades if you want. (The last one is really up to you but I like to keep my guns repaired) Luck: 8 (Better chance to crit and who doesn’t like to win at the casino all the time) Intelligence: 5 (The bonus points per level are good but you will max you key stats no problem with the default amount.)Īgility: 8 (This is key for the bonus accuracy and action points) Perception: 7 (The earlier you notice the enemy the better.)Įndurance: 4 (You shouldn’t be getting hit that much anyways)Ĭharisma: 3 (This can vary depending on how you want to play if you don’t care about talking to people that much drop it to 1 if you do keep it at 5)
