If you use a smaller sidearm for close encounters as I recommend, you can pop a few off on a close opponent then have a crit ready for a ranged opponent. On my Critical Hit Guide you can see how many shots it will take you to fill the crit meter. Luck - Scoring a massive sneak attack critical hit against a Supermutant Behemoth and watching its health plummet is incredibly satisfying.

Whether you need that or not is dependent on the above bit about manual vs VATS sniper play. A mere 5 points would take a 75% hit rate and turn it into a 90% chance to hit, and that's average Perception.

Perception - Each point gives a roughly 4% increase over base accuracy when in VATS.

As stated above even an entirely manual sniper would want a high agility score to sneak like a pro.

Anything you do to increase your stealth capabilities, from armor mods to the Sneak Perk itself is going to play off your Agility score and be amplified. Agility - More than any other, because it will help you to remain hidden while supplying Action Points for firing your rifle in VATS.There are huge gaps that allow you to pick other Perks and raise SPECIAL in between. Rifleman is available from PER 2 Level 1, Level 9, 18, 31, and 46. Some Perks you find super-desirable will only be available once every 8-12 levels, so you have room to tweak your SPECIAL and raise it to unlock Perks and get the boosts that come with them. Like the rest of this guide, this is meant to give you ideas, do what you will with it. All that said, I will probably write this more for a heavy VATS user, but this does not render the guide useless to someone playing as a sniper with little to no VATS usage. Nonetheless, your Agility score will be highly important to remaining hidden and thus should probably be picked more often than other stats. Playing manually, the role of Agility will diminish as well, because AP would not be necessary. Perception only gives you an accuracy boost inside VATS.įor that matter, without VATS Luck becomes less important as Critical Hits are only used in VATS aside from one chem (Overdrive), and Overdrive gives you a 25% crit chance inside or outside VATS. A little will help in order to unlock Perks, but it's not required if you're going to do all the shooting yourself - even the Sniper perk itself is possible to overlook (Perception 8) as it gives a knockdown chance and better breath-holding that you may not need, depending on your own ability to aim. If you want to do your sniping manually, you don't need Perception much at all to play a Sniper. I'm only writing this part to instruct new players on how important or unimportant stats are depending upon whether you want to play Fallout 4 like a shooter or tactical RPG. We can grow a character so sneaky that even indoors we can become a menace with a silenced weapon, and that is necessary because we'll want to enter Fallout 4's many buildings. Everything else is optional and a bonus to your character in order to suit your playstyle. So we want to be sneaky (Agility) and be able to shoot from afar to remain unseen (Perception). Sniper (noun): Someone who, while hidden, tries to shoot a person with a gun someone who shoots at people from a place where they cannot be seen source. I'm listing the Perks you'll need to accomplish the following and roughly outlining the priority you should place on each of them.

Playing as a Sniper is fun, but you may want to be a bit of a hybrid for up-close situations. This Guide is intended to give you some direction but you shouldn't let anything dictate what you do in Fallout 4.
