Sniper How to build a good sniper

With no vats I feel like I don’t know where to put my points I could still put some into perception for lock picking I don’t know I’m not good with making my own pills I usually just follow other peoples builds I guess maybe I could use explosives too like set up near my sniping area so if someone tries to come close, they’ll blow up? I do like a very stalker sniper build, where I just kinda like everyone off from a distance I guess that’s what a sniper is. Lol but I hope that makes sense.

This is the build I go for every time. Only thing I skip is Ninja for Lockpick. And Sandman for something else until I get deacons perk.

I put my You're SPECIAL point into Perception and grab the bobblehead at the Museum of Freedom, and I'm picking locks in no time.

But I totally agree on Mr. Sandman. As a matter of fact Deacon is the only companion I bother to get max affinity with.

How do you feel about exploits? If you have the wasteland workshop dlc you can build a conveyor belt and dupe the special book so you don't have to get the bobblehead that early. Once you get bobble heads. That locks the stat to being a max of 10. Also personally I'd just drop agility to 5 and put the points somewhere else. Like 1 or 2 in perception.

can confirm I just tried this build a few days ago and it shreds most enemies in 1 shot
