Sniper rifles are ridiculous in this game. Jake Easom Posts: 3424 Joined: Sun 4:33 am 'that gun' doesn't seem overly effective to be honest but it just looks coolĪny suggestions or is there another weapon out there I should be looking for at this stage in the game? Currently using 'that gun' and a 10mm SMG (the SMG is more effective) with the granade launcher (break barrel one, cant remember the name) as backup. Was also thinking though of maybe keeping the hunting rifle loaded with AP rounds and the repeater loaded with HP.Īlso not sure which side arm to use. I have been carrying them both around but was thinking about dropping one. I plan to play this character as a sneak/crit character only using vats when being overrun or if things get too close.Īt the moment I seem to have a choice between using the cowboy repeater (lower alpha damage but higher DPS and lower AP cost if it goes to VATS) and the Hunting rifle (higher Alpha damage but lower DPS and useless in VATS because of the high AP cost).

I'm currently around level 8 or 9 with about 80 in guns and 40ish in sneak.
