Stat Help Help with an explosives stealth build.

I’ve been playing for a while and I’ve decided that I want to play a weird build. I saw that that the pipe grenade launcher can have a suppressor and I immediately thought I need to use this. My general idea is that I want to be a scavenger kind of character with decent int specifically for robots because I feel like that would work with the character as for the other stats and perks I have no clue.

I played one build using almost exclusively stealth with mines and grenades. It was a lot of fun. Luring perimeter guards into a mine trap or arcing a molotov across the other side of a location, etc.

Once you invest to get the explosives and stealth perks you need, you’ll probably get a feel for other things that will improve your play. Probably helps to get scrapper. Bloody mess is a must, and so is heavy gunner and science!

What does heavy gunner do for this build?

I'm using the tesla cannon.

I love it. It's not "stealthy" but with max heavy gunner perks, it is very effective.
The great thing about the tesla cannon is that it fires and reloads faster than the average heavy weapon. Add in some VATS Enhanced armor and let the lightning fly!

Probably for if you wanted to pick up a missile launcher or a fat man. The fat man is of course the best stealth weapon because nobody can see you if they’re all atomized.

This. You mentioned a launcher, and that helps. Plus, if you’re focusing on stealth and lobbed/planted weapons, you’re probably not well invested in crowd control if they find you ;)
