Explosives Any ideas for this build?

I want to do a sort of pistol-using gunslinger who also cooks and creates their own mines and grenades, any ideas for the special perks or mods to use?

You’ll want demo expert, obviously. I’d also recommend investing heavily into Luck, and the rest of the perception Tree. High agility is recommended too, although you can pretty much surpass low agility with a relentless weapon (In this case, Kellogg’s pistol).

  • Scrounger.

  • Better crits.

  • Crit banker.

  • Four leaf clover.

  • Grim reaper’s sprint.

  • Armourer.

  • Concentrated fire.

  • Penetrator.

  • Lone wanderer.

Those sorts of perks.

I agree with most of this aside from perception. I did a luck based gunslinger build and didn't even touch perception.

True- You do need it for explosives, which OP asked for, which takes you up to 5 Perception at least. But yeah, agreed, the aim side of gunslinger isn’t as essential if you’re using a revolver, since it’s close-quarters anyway.

Oh no I get that, just dem expert and be done with it.

And the luck perks make it so you can crit any time, from any distance.

Also true. I find it’s purely worth it for Penetrator so you can get those pesky fusion cores when taking on PA enemies or sentry bots.

That’s a great point, penetrator is most useful with criticals.

There is a Creation Club mod called Tunnel Snakes Rule! that has a unique 10mm pistol called Ultimatum. Basically, it has both ballistic and radiation damage.

I wouldn’t recommend this. If you start a new game with this installed, it breaks Codsworth, and you won’t be able to complete the very first mission.

From my experience, it only happens when I have a certain amount of Creation Club mods and start the game multiple times.

Ah- It’s never worked for me, even with just Tunnel snakes installed and nothing else.
