difficulty of switching builds

[FaithfulNerd]

so recently i bought 76 on steam. I starting playing a heavy PA build(on steam) and i love it more than my bloodied unyielding stealth build(on ps4). so i have decide to to switch my stealth build to a heavy pa build cause i have more fun with it. the problem is switching special points around, acquiring the new perk cards needed, and getting rid of mutations that are no help to heavy pa build. OR start a new character while going through all the quests again, losing all learned plans, and losing my lunch boxes, repair kits, and scrap kits.

it would help if stash box inventory was a shared account inventory like some other games use.

Wait for the upcoming respec system and see how that plays out.

But personally I think it's better to create a new character rather respecing.
I run 3 characters with very distinctive builds. Last character I made 8 days ago and she's close to 90, so leveling is certainly not a difficulty.

If you are on Fallout 1st you can transfer plans and items easily between characters anyway.
Alternatively ask someone you trust to help transfer the items.

sadly you cant drop or trade the lunch boxes, repair kits, or scrap kits. so that leaves me with 2 options, respec or new character

also how can you transfer items between characters?

You can join a friends server and put stuff in a cigarett vendor machine. Then logout and rejoin with the other character. However its risky as hell and you can lose the items. Safest way is to trade a friend or second account to transfer stuff between character.

Doing it on private worlds are very risky aswell. The server have a high chans to crash when you swish characters.

OT: Next patch comes with a respec system, it will save perks and specials. You can have multiple builds on one character with different special stats and perks.

Ive done a respe around lvl 120
Stealth autorifles to heavy guns PA...

While it took around 20 levels to readjust the SPECIAL to the new build, i had most of the cards and some guns ready for the new build

I just switched cards around and played with less than optimal SPECIAL and a few missing key cards from lvl 120 to lvl 140

You know what ?
Game is easy enough that it didnt matter at all
Stuff was dying fast anyway...


Now, real fast respes or saved loadouts would be of course much better and less frustrating
This is coming 'soon'

The game is not designed to switch builds. Just designed to do a few tweaks here and there.

Sure, once you have 350 levels under your belt, without too much experimentations, you have enough perk points to switch build.
