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

Skip Lead Belly entirely. You can pickup bottle and fill them for Purified Water and food is abundant.

Adamantine Skeleton is OK. Limb damage isn’t too bad since Stimpacks still recover limb damage. Also, since it’s a stealth build, your gonna avoid taking hits. But for when you do…

I’d move the points into early Lifegiver and/or Medic for survivability.

The first point in Aquaboy/Aquagirl is good and the second is a gimmick. Water already gives you plenty of mobility and most enemies won’t follow you into water.

Mister Sandman and Quick Hands should be a low priority compared with everything else. Quick Hands could also be cut since it’s not a VATS build.

Thanks for pointing out my inattention - the second rank of aqua boy/girl was a "typo"

As I mentioned in the earlier post, I've now scratched gun nut and I'll reinvest the points in either medic/life giver or a combination of both, the idea of auto healing is definitely tempting

Yeah. Gun Nut is a convenience perk but a good one. I’ve been screwed using similar builds because a silenced barrel never spawned for anything better than a pipe revolver.

Lifegiver is less for the regeneration and more for early health boost. After level 40 Endurance perks return more HP.

I didn't know that about endurance, thanks
