Well I think I gotta try haha! I hate to hear that I can't soak bullets up on the sprint towards an enemy, that was trademark for my character. I basically have only run one real play through and I'd like to recreate it as best as possible to suit survival mode. If you have ever played Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, that's about what I did last time lol. Sneaking, being tactical, and being a badass in short bursts. Maybe if I nail it I can post the build- been awhile since Ive been active here

You're going to have to have a lot of patience. Positioning, sneak, kill, reposition, sneak, runaway, kill...get killed... a lot.

I wholeheartedly encourage you to try - Just warning you :) 

Oh and a lot of Jet/Chems!

I'm taking a break from Bloodborne currently so conceptually this sounds fun... xD edited: English

look up many a true nerd on youtube. he did only melee, no guns and sneak with blitz on a lets play. worked pretty well, he died a bunch though.

he also came up with the challenge that is things are permanent

With Mods on the horizon for all - is anyone interested in starting/building/up-keeping a Fallout 4 Mods log/list help thread? Do we have one already? Thoughts?

I think the Modern Weapons (gunsmith Edition) could work for a soldier type. I am running it with Charlie.

The modders conclave ought to be able to handle that. It already has a fallout 4 mod watch list. It may as well continue to be the one stop for all mod related needs

oh sweet thanks curse

I am currently running with a survival mode "Commando" build, automatic combat rifle and pistol (and commando perk), but also carry a sniper rifle to soften up harder encounters from afar before moving in.

It's still a very sneak focused build, with silenced weapons etc, but it's been very challenging using auto.

Only level 18, and it's starting to be pretty difficult. Wondering if it's even going to be viable at higher levels.

Anyone tried it? Any suggestions?
