    "Le Fusil! The true owner of the Commonwealth!"

    - Tommy Lonegan, owner of the Combat Zone

     

    I decided to participate in this event after skipping out on the last few because of RL problems and running my own events in the Hub. Seeing as most my builds are about good guys and vigilantes, the good guys if you will. So, now I'm rolling with a raider build, and my weapon of choice for this buid is the Le Fusil Terribles. I rarely used shotguns in Fallout games, if you exclude the Caravan shotgun from New Vegas, but come on, that's a classic. So this will be a pure bad guy build, no seeing his bad decisions or "growing up". I will keep the build locked at level 30 for the sake of following the event rules, but I will also add an optional part focusing on the Nuka World DLC, going on for about 10 or 15 levels. Anyway, onto the build.

    SPECIAL:

    Strength: 4 - Only four points in strength are needed as we aren't using any other weapons except the Le Fusil. Four is enough for some nice carryweight and weapon handling. Le Fusil has a really nasty kick. Honestly, I'm surprised my mouse didn't kick back a little.

    Perception: 5 - Seeing as we're rolling with a shotgun here, these five points are needed to spot enemies before they spot you. It'll be easier to get into a good position.

    Endurance: 5 - Just as the above line mentioned, if the enemies spot you from afar, you won't do much damage with Le Fusil. Five points in endurance paired with some good armor, will keep you alive while you get closer and introduce your enemies to the Terribles.

    Charisma: 6 - You're the man that will unite the raider gangs from around the Commonwealth. For that, you need some good negotiating skills. It will also help as you take on mercenary contracts in early game to earn some caps.

    Intelligence: 5 - You need to be a smart man to conquer the Commonwealth, being able to crack into terminals and turn of lights and turrets is a good thing.

    Agility: 2 - Two points in agility are enough for a bit of sneaking. 25% damage with the sneak multiplier will allow one shot kills or a lot of damage on sturdier enemies. A few more action points are also good for VATS.

    Luck: 2 - I only use this to have bigger chances in finding more caps and better weapons. I don't use VATS too much.

    QUESTS AND ROLEPLAY:

    When it comes to the main questline, you will first join the Railroad until infiltrating the Institute. You will then change sides and become Director. An army of synths and raiders is to big of a deal to turn down. Take down rival gangs, build settlements, without Preston Garvy, the Minuteman are your enemies. You will dress all settlers as raiders. Only about level 10 right now, so I can't give any further quests until I play them.

    MODS:

    Mods that I use for this build are Armorsmith Extended, Weaponsmith Extended, Raider Overhaul, OC Decorator, Extended Settlements, Raider and Criminal Armors and other various raider and Nuka World related mods.

    Can't say much for the build Delta, but I can suggest that it might be better to change the text (in the main picture) in some way. At the moment it's nearly impossible to actually read because it's just a pure black and the picture around it's fairly dark. Dunno what you used to edit it, but if you've got a way to add a 'Glow Effect' or maybe even change it to White with a Black border, then that might make it a lot easier to read.

    Or if you'd like, send me the picture and I can take a crack at making it a bit easier to read :)

    Le Fusil! Le Fusil! 

    I love this gun. I love all shotguns, they are my favorite weapon. Excited to see where you go with this.

    @Deebs, Don't worry, this won't be the main picture, I just took this in the middle of combat. The final pic will be him sitting in a chair with Le Fusil Terribles on a small table to his side and Dogmeat on the other side. Or Cait, the main love interest. Haven't decided on that part.

    @Liss, I know, right? This playtest is awesome.
