Need help with my build idea, input requested
« on: September 23, 2015, 07:54:38 pm »
I am not worried about if this build is viable or not, it's more important to me that I have fun playing then making the game easy or too difficult. I want to make a character build that is basically Sam Fisher from the Splintercell series or Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. Basically focus on stealth, lock picking, hacking, silenced pistol, knife, and anything else that you could suggest to fill the role. I have only a few hours logged on the game and it has been a very long time since I last played. I don't really know what my possibilities are but I would like tips or suggestions on what skills and items to pick for his build. For example, go here and open this box for an armor that would work well, etc. like I said I am a total noob as of now and need all the help I can get in making this happen.

Skillwise go with something like this:
http://underrail.info.tm/?build=AwGlEYBYQJgVhAZhOZ5TIJxJA1DFQJE8SUzNwQB2akSIsETZa6CCeJxnoA

Weapons of choice - Shock sarrated tungsten steel knife and .44 pistol with rapid reloader (electroshock pistol would be better but it doesn't suit Sam Fisher). Your armor should be damage threshold focused tactical vest with 0 armor penalty plus tabi boots.
You also might want to play with oddity xp system as it allows you to sneak around without killing and still not fall behind xp wise. In that case you could focus more on stealth skill and swap Hit and Run with Interloper feat.

Basic strategy: When possible open up every fight with Cut Throat, if enemy is still alive and very though use execute on him, otherwise save it for your next enemy that gets incapacitated with Cheap Shots. On your second turn you'll have plenty of MP for Blitz. Eviscerate is a good finisher for tough enemies when you deal little damage but manage to stack many bleeding wounds. Applying Expose Weakness before that helps too. Make sure you eat an eel sandwich before combat so you have a total of 14 dexterity. You need those to maximize your attacks per round - 12 attacks for the knife (including Taste for Blood bonus) and 4 for the .44 pistol.
If something is unclear with the chosen feats just ask but look here first: http://www.underrail.com/wiki/index.php?title=Feats

I also made a custom Sam Fisher portrait you can freely use:


Just drop both files from the attachement below into C:\Users\[Name]\Documents\My Games\Underrail\CustomPortraits folder.

Bear in mind that the build I posted above is for the latest Underrail alpha version. In the release version pistols have been significally nerfed. By now it's probably a better idea to go for a SMG or if it has to be a pistol, a 9mm rapid reloader Neo Luger.

We now also have some very good unique weapons, especially unarmed ones which allow very quick stacking off Taste for Blood and Vile Weaponry so an unarmed hybrid would beat the knife variant in this matter.

It's not Sam Fisher without Spec Ops!
