how did you ever kill robots with those weapons. Well anyways, my squad can butcher your squad :twisted:

Gifted, fastshot
Small guns, energy weapons, barter.

That's almost my standard setup. Take one point from AG and CH and add one to IN and LK.

I easily destroyed the robots. The pulse rifle kills them easily. I think my squad would desimate your's though. Seeing as I have got all my members to the experience cap. Level 50, with 300% in all tags. I don't think your squad would stand a chance. Especially if I brought in my back up weaponry, lying in the hummer for when my ammo runs out suddenly. :twisted: And no, I didn't cheat at all or use any hacks. All the experience was the result of hard work and killing enemies. It took me ages but I had the unbeatable squad.

Well Reaper, how did you get them to level 50?

Also Blackened, i like charisma and agility. I'm just gonna do Gain IN, so that its the highest of my stats then i'll do Divine Favor, so then i'll have an IN of 10. And since i don't have Big Guns tagged i have plenty of extra skill points to use.

I got them all to level 50 with a lot of hard work and a few thousand (maybe million) random encounters. To get all the experience I need. I forget how much it is. About 100million or so I think.

I'm at the level where you have to save the mayor and everyone else, and so far I've been doing just fine with just me, Farsight and Stitch. Farsights other tags besides small weapons are imo worthless. What sniper needs to sneak?

Personally, I'd say, "All of 'em." Stein is one of the few non-stealthy fighters that's worth a damn, IMO. Sneaking offers two advantages for a Sniper:

When a character is effectively Sneaking they will score extra damage on their first attack.
A stealthy sniper can get into places that the enemy doesn't want you to be and start unleashing from there.

But in the final analysis it's really a case of, "Do whatever works for you."

In single player the AI was too stupid so i never used sneak. I mean i use it in multiplayer all the time, but for single, its a waste of a tag IMO

What is this? Am I the only one on these forums that considers most fighters to only have two Tags? (Sneak is a given in my book.)

the humble sniper rifle rules all

i have my custom ghoul character pinging robots into oblivion with the sniper rifle only - targetted eye shots

OH i noticed something about Clarise, she has Small Frame trait picked, and she has a strength of 5, now normaly with small frame + ST 5 that makes the character have a carry weight of 100, but Clarise has the benifits of small frame, with none of the problems, she has a carry weight of 150. FYI

Yes, Ghouls have a higher perception...so i love to use them for Snipering!

:snipersmile: :halfrobot:

Yes ghouls do make good snipers, but that opinion would fit under the Favorite Races Thread, not the favorite recruit. Personally i only had a good ghoul when i edited Dillion to the stats i wanted, without going over the max number of player points of course.

The only thing I'd ever allow myself to edit on those recruits would be to remove the Glowing One trait. I can't really see why they added that. Ghouls suffer from enough disadvantages as it is, they don't need to fry your squad on top of it all.
