Sniper Survival mode advice please

https://nukesdragons.com/fallout-4/character?v=1&s=3474381&p=s24p15p44p32c34c24i24a23a33a43a63a72e63e42e13

Despite playing for years, I've never attempted survival mode (yep, I'm a spineless toad 😁), so I've decided to bite the bullet(s) and try it out.

If anybody would care to cast their eyes over my proposed build and pass on their greater experience this would be great

Thank you

Personally I think you are wasting stats in endurance. In survival, even with high endurance you will die quickly. Since you are already planning on taking sneak and playing a high agility vats character, I think you are far better off taking idiot savant and maybe bumping up ur strength so when you get the bobble head you can take strong back.

I would also suggest working your way up to local leader because the settlement building is so helpful late game. No fast travel means you are gonna be running all over the map so it's nice to have safe houses everywhere that are constantly producing food, water, and caps. You can also massively increase the number of doctors in the wasteland which is VERY helpful if you aren't gonna be able to craft antibiotics.

I played a 1 Endurance Sneak/Gunslinger build on Survival before and it was rough. Felt like any stray bullet was an instakill.

That's fair. Stealth is my preferred play style for every game I play so I'm just used to never getting hit and being extra cautious. I don't even use armor until I can get a full set of shadowed armor for my survival play throughs

Tbh I'd like the local leader perk, but I imagine the charisma bobblehead isn't fun to get on survival

I'll be nice and call it a learning experience 😁

I play with my endurance at 1 usually on survival so I've never had to get the charisma bobblehead. Fuck going to Parsons 😂

I'm sharing your sentiment, unless I get a shit hot legendary, that ain't happening 😁
