Taking down Sinjin with the Syringer [SILVER SHROUD SPOILERS]

[kelleno]

Anybody tried this? I'd really like to play this confrontation as the Shroud AND save Kent, but even at level 28 with fully modded weapons/Psycho/Jet/crits/etc. there's no way I can do enough damage to take Sinjin down before he takes the shot.

I got the idea that the Syringer's various disabling ammos might do the trick if I could get in a shot fast enough. No luck so far with the Yellow Belly or Pax Syringe; they both work on Sinjin, but apparently don't interrupt his "kill Kent" script. My last best hope is Lock Joint, but I can't find any stingwing barbs... so if anyone else has tried it I'd be interested in the result, else I guess I'll hang up my silver SMG and just talk him down.

Don't know about the syringer, but it can be done "conventionally" wothout the need to talk:
Required:
- a helluva mother of a sniper rifle (silenced, large recon scope, .50cal...)
- a perk or 2 in rifleman
- good sneak skill
- a stealth boy
- a dose of buffjet, psychojet, or any combination thereof (really can't drug too much for this)
- most important: a dose of calmex !!! (doubles your sneak damage)
- anything (food) that gives extra AP will help
Just prepare, sneak in from the elevator, enter vats, make 4 headshots to sinjin and each of his goonies. All 4 die from massive (x4) damage.
Oh, and: of course Sinjin should be the first one targeted...

Psycho and two nicely aimed shots to the head with a sniper rifle in VATS took care of him for me. Had to try it 4 times because of bad dice luck. Now that i think about it, Jet could have worked too instead of VATS.

Or you could just use charisma to convince him to kill you first...

Is it that hard? I thought you could kill anyone with a Laser Musket while hidden.

Base Laser Musket x3 +critical +headshot +sneak attack, then you can use Psycho and most people could one shot the guy without even a perk to help. And that Calmex stuff.

Psycho, Jet and about 3 seconds of AR fire to his face seemed to do it for me.

Too easy. I did it with a .44 pistol that was only halfway modded. I was using Kellogg's pistol, but you can use any weapon that you have perks for to increase damage, like Rifleman. If you are talking to Sinjin and you make each response as "The Shroud" then you can get his cronies to run away without any Charisma at all. Then right when action resumes take a shot of Jet to slow down time. Run up REAL close to Sinjin where you can see his head and enter VATS. Pump as many shots in VATS into his head as you can and no more Sinjin. Use Psychojet for an even better turnout due to the extra 25% damage.

lol, Idk what I've been doing, but I've done this quest in level 51 and they just drop dead easily. Critical banker used on 2 named enemies at the top then normal vats hits on the 2 remaining enemies

You dont need high charisma just say , kill me instead. You might have to reload once or twice. I tried the syringes and after 8 reloads I just did the chat option with better results.

[TheEvilNoob]

I used the harpoon gun + a critical shot on his head in vats. Took him down with no problems at all.

[Reverend Belial]

I just unloaded Kellogg's pistol into his brain after I scared off his goons. Good times.

[jeffy]

i used JET AND PYSCO............POWER FIST PUNCH EM DEAD

[The Spirit of Jazz]

I scared his goons off with my awesome shroudyness, then I ran up to him as fast as possible, stuffed the muzzle of my combat shotgun in his ear and mashed the trigger until he fell over. Kent was saved.
