Best stealth weapon?

[nurru47]

Does anybody know?

Depends what enemy you're facing.. I love my .50cal Two-Shot Hunting Rifle .. I've one shotted every single enemy

[Kodiak412]

For genreal use I love the silenced 10mm. This is better in buildings than out in the wild, but I do love this pistol.

[Autario]

Yup i use it all the time the damage on the .50cal two-shot this is very good...

[God Taint]

Anything with a supressor on it is good for stealth. You can attach one to the 10mm pistol relatively early on, and it pretty much stays good for the rest of the game.

Really though, the best stealth weapon will be different for each person, cause the legendary drops are random, and typically the best legendary you can put a silencer on will become your best stealth weapon.

Especially if you have rifleman perk maxed out and all stealth perks maxed, you will do insane damage. I'm at 256dmg with it right now, but just think of that times 3.5 for sneak

Thanks I will check it out.

Idk about the best, since I haven't spoiled anything for myself so far. But I like the Tinker Tom Special sniper I'm using. It increases hit chance in vats if you are undetected.

Just get the highest damage you can, really. Take legendary effects into account (for example double shot gets a sneak crit on both shots). Pretty sure melee has a better sneak crit than guns. Ninja perk is worth getting as well, at tier 3 your melee does 10x damage on a sneak crit.

Oh I really want one of those but didn't get one to drop so far. I have the Overseer's Guardian, which fires much faster and does only 30 less damage per shot, but I want to get some use out of my .50 ammo.

Instigating weapons will also be really good as it doubles damage on enemies with full health, so great for one shots.

i have a 6 Crank, Instigating laser musket. fully upgraded that does 57*6*2*2 damage, or 1368 damage on a stealh shot. uses 6 ammo though.

also makes you glow, so not great for the stealth part lol. use as a sniper only.

Putting a vote down for the "Old Faithful" you can buy it at the gun shop in diamond city. Does x2 damage if the enemy is at full health. I have a gunslinger build so fully modded as a pistol its doing 156 base damage. x2 for its legendary perk x2 sneak. 624 first shot damage.

Granted it doesn't do 1368 like Xander's musket, but its the best I have found for a gunslinger build. It isn't a random drop you can always find it. Also, I have never run out of fusion cells for it with all the institute synth missons surronding the main story.

Deliverer, or any silenced Gause Rifle..

[MindSkipperBro12]

deliver

[insolent1]

any silenced guass rifle is the best as it can benifit from the sandman perk, combined with ninja and cloak & dagger you can get a sneak attack multiplier of x6.3 provided the perks are taken in the right order(bugged)
so you are looking at +3k damage from a sneak attack
