Builds / First Playthrough SMG/Grenades build?
« on: March 05, 2020, 09:14:21 pm »
Preface: I've played a few rpgs like this in my lifetime such as the OG fallouts so I'm not entirely green to the genre but I'd definitely like some pointers to making an effective build.
I've looked around but I couldn't find anything more than a few threads that had up-to-date information. Some gave me a few ideas but not quite what I was looking for. That said, what I've gathered is that I think I would want to start with something like this...

Not sure what my endgame would look like build wise. Extra constitution and increased critical rate never hurt anybody is what I'm thinking. I've heard earlygame ammo can be scarce so investing up to about 50 effective pickpocket skill would do me well, but if it would lock me out of getting some nice things later I would probably skip it and just try to get by in another way.
I'd definitely pick up suppressive fire and then opportunist for when I level up a bit more though.
Questions I have:
-Is expertise worth it? If it's flat damage applied on attacks(which in theory sounds good for multi hit attacks like bursts from SMGs) will critical damage scale off the extra damage? Or am I just wrong thinking that stacking crit is the way to go?
-Breakpoints for certain skills: I know you need mechanics to craft nice weapon related stuff, chemistry for good grenades, biology for d R u G s. What should I take these to?
-Other skills: I don't know if I would need some investment in stealth or not, same for tailoring to craft some nice stuff even if I don't take it at the start. Are they necessary and what would be a decent stopping point?
-Dodge and evasion: In other games I've known dodge to negate damage and effects from a direct attack and evasion to be for avoiding area of effect damage. That said, I don't know what they do in this game. How important are they, if at all?
