General / Ambush or Recklessness + Scrutinous?
« Last post by Vokial on Today at 01:57:55 pm »Allow me to provide more detail as the decision is not just what to choose between these two feats. First, a little context - I mainly use a sniper rifle while having a pistol to boost my Initiative and occasionally perform Kneecap Shots. Dominating run. Stealth is maxed out with each level up. 3 CON. The choice I'm contemplating is to choose between these two packages:
So on one hand, I have to devote everything to boost crit chance. Yet it's a quite substantial with around +45% passive increase that I can rely on regardless of the lighting conditions, enemy placement and I can also move freely without having to root myself to a dark spot. Or get Ambush and have a nice boquet of various other bonuses that can benefit make my character in different ways. What route should I take? Any rifle or crossbow users who took Ambush, how would you rate the usefulness of this feat based on your playthrough? Sharing your Ambush-tactics are also welcome.
- Scrutinous - flat +7% crit chance.
- Recklessness - another flat +7% crit chance.
- Infused Rat Hound Leather Overcoat - armor granting about +11-13% crit chance. Weak protection, but that's fine.
- Seeker Goggles - eyewear providing +18-20% crit chance.
- Ambush - very situational, setting up the stage for it is not always easy, sometimes not even an option. But when it happens, it guarantees crits so no further gear or feat required.
- An extra feat I can take instead of Recklessness. There are quite a few that are good contenders.
- Infused Pig Leather Overcoat - one extra CON and lots of additional HP on top with good protection.
- Smart Googles - can boost our special attack damage with +40%.
