You can get the Assassin's light armor in Dead Money, which isn't any higher in DT, but gives some +sneak and looks kinda ninja-ish. In vault 34, you can get the best light armor in the vanilla game (vault 34 guard's armor), which is around 16 DT. Also tell him to hang back and he'll provide good backup.Īrmor- early on, it's easy to get reinforced leather armor, which is +10 DT. If you want a companion use Boone, you get the spotter perk which helps when scouting the are. Build your lockpick up so you can get this (). But as with anything you can change the build to suit you better, but it's a good starting place. (but if you wanna go badass use this ), Sneak needs to be high, for a list of perks look here (), It is a basic sniper build. I use the Merc Adventure outfit for the moment, that with the 1st Recon beret which add per +1 and 5% chance of crit hit. I would use light armor, the point of being a sniper is to stay away from direct confrontation. I use this purely for the silencer but it has grown on me. I use the Ratslayer, which is a unique variant of the Varmint Rifle, fully modded with silencer and night vision scope (). I would also prefer to wear a helmet over a beret. Obviously I will get a sniper rifle when the time becomes available. Right know I have a hunting rifle which I like a lot, and I'm saving up caps to buy the scope mod. I was wondering though what armour should I use? I want to use something thats has a DT of 10 (forget what type it is.) Also whats a good sniper weapon? I want something with a scope but nothing like the Anti-Material rifle.

I've decided to test a sniper character archetype as it seems like a fun idea.

Plus when paired with cowboy it can take down a deathclaw in a few shots and even one shot one if you have a good crit build. Fairly large magazime size and fast reload. Readily available base models of the weapon for repairs and if you have jury rigging it's even easier. Abundant ammo, and the hand loaded ammo isnt half bad either. La Longue Carabine and I go way back and up until extremely recently was my go to scoped weapon. The armor is simple, around 10-15 DT and relatively low weight PLUS rad/poison/fire resistance. And If you're looking for a good sniper weapon and dont mind killing or maiming a named NCR character, i'd suggest La Longue Carabine. Well, If you've got a high survival skill i'd sugest gecko backed leather armor (or the re-enforced model if you want, but this requires HH).
