How Should I Adjust My VATS Rifleman Build After the Perk Changes?

-

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the recent perk changes, and I’m a bit lost. A lot of my previous setups seem less viable now unless I aim, which is different from how I used to play. Should I stick with my old build or make some adjustments? What are some strategies or new perks I should consider to keep my VATS rifleman effective?

I’m loving the ability to cripple enemies from a distance now. My old sniper rifle is back in action, and I’m hitting around 2,300 damage on headshots. It’s nice to see it being useful again!

Your rifle should actually perform better with the new perk changes! The damage for your guns is still there, but now the AP costs are lower and crit damage is bumped up. For your next level, check out the new perks—they add some nice options that can enhance your build.
