    I am a Skyrim fanatic who is interested in Fallout 4 (both on the PS4), and my current favorite Fallout build idea is a sniper.

    Are there some good pre-made builds that favor the sniper?

    Also, what faction would you recommend?

    BTW, these builds need to be for Fallout 4 for the PS4.

    There are three sniper builds which come to mind: my Neuromancer, Albino's Heavy and Mason's Domino. My Neuromancer combines stealth, sniping and charisma's pacify perks to create a psychic infiltrator (mind control and telekinesis) reminiscent of the ghost units from Starcraft. The Heavy is a Railroad oriented sniper build. Domino is a VATS centric high sniper damage build.

    Personally I recommend the Railroad faction because they feel like the only good (-ish) guys out of the three factions (not including the Minutemen here).

    Awesome Jake! Yeah, the only other one I'd highlight other than Noodles suggestions, if my Huntsman. It's not a pure sniper, and a little more heavy in RP and requires the Far Harbour DLC. But it is def a good bit of fun with long range rifles and heavy on marksmanship.

    I am not sure what your time frame is on when you plan to start this character but I may or may not have a raider-centric sniper build coming out in the next week or so. ;-)

    Hey guys long time lurker first time poster here,

    I have recently had an itch to get back into fallout 4 and was looking to play a melee orientated build (preferably power armour focused) as my first character was Guns/Metal Armour focused. I will also be playing on survival difficulty if that helps.

    Thanks in advance!

    Awesome - welcome!

    First - you can check our Character Build Archives, specifically the tag "Melee".

    There you'll find a whole bunch. My personal favorites are The Atom Witch by Noodles & WuXixiang and The Boss (which is more focused on PA), by yours truly. Invictus by Mason is another PA / melee build - but only in that he uses bashing.

    Let me know if you need any help.

    Welcome Issac! I think you're looking for the Supersoldier by Raid. Link here: http://tamrielvault.com/groups/topic/view/group_id/14/topic_id/6906 I would drop the 25% health rule on survival though.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. After looking at all the builds I think i'll go with The Boss, seems to fit my desired playstyle the best.

    Cheers!
