sniper damage can be massive...

[Ichthyic]

I built a sniper with with the sadomasochist quirk, and noticed that when maxed out on awareness and luck, megacrits were giving me 1500 damage on a sneak attack, even at level 6!

now, that same character is level 11, using a red dragon sniper rifle (the standard level 6), and with a silencer on it to increase sneak damage, and a wastewolf as a pet... I just did 5595 damage to the ice worm in the warrens. kinda overkill, but those big red numbers are fun.

Now I'm wondering... how big do these numbers get in the end game? what is the highest damage number people have gotten on a sneak attack with their snipers?

nice... no problem for you beat the game. I guess the game need a look about not be op for easy!!!

I guess much better have 2 or 3 snipers then another example pistol and shootgun not so good.


are you playing on easy?

The auto shotgun is excellent and can take out multiple enemies by late game.

Autoshotgun is ridiculous. It WIPES out entire squads if you get the drop on them and have decent sneak-attack.

Maxed out Sneaky-♥♥♥♥ on Scotchmo and gave him a Jackhammer. If I lined up people before an encounter and managed to get 3-5 people inside the cone before I sneak-attacked, ALL of them die. I managed to take out entire squads without even starting combat because Scotchmo basically deleted the entire encounter on a sneak-attack.. Add his Drunk-fu into the mix (50% more damage) and he has become death, destroyer of worlds.

Shotguns get SO broken late-game it's ridiculous.

The sniper damage is okay, but what are you going to do with 14000 damage overkill when the target only has 4000HP? You can't split it among several targets so it all goes to waste.

Basically, a Sniper can guarantee one, MAYBE two kills in a turn. A shotgun can wipe an encounter off the map before the encounter even starts, if the enemies are clustered together, and even then it will easily delete 3 people before the encounter starts giving you a massive advantage.

Pistol is in a weird spot. On a crit, it can do some decent damage, like Snipers, and if you have the quick-mag mod, you can easily take out more than 2 people in an encounter depending on your crit-rate. It never feels like it quite reaches the potential it promises though.

We're talking late-game though where balance get's thrown out the window. The game feels alright for the most part.

it's just for fun.

I use flamers for aoe instead of shotties, but am planning to build a shottie dude for later.

oh look, I just walked into my base... and there's scotchmo.

Mine was around ~16k, oneshotting a Boss. Was hilarious^^
Also oneshotted several 5k HP Scorpitrons with ~13k Hits.

[Qiox]

Biggest Sniper hit I've done is 47000.

[PhamTrinli]

Nothing else compares to a direct hit with a Nuka Zuka at 10/10 explosives and 10 awareness, though - especially with the explosives perk that makes direct hits always crit

You can take out crowds of baddies that each have 3k+ hp

Golden Scorp. It's armor/resistance were insane on Wastelander, so that might not have even done it.

[Commander Gorda]

Highest i done is 8.6k i think on supreme jerk. Sado, mark target headshot ;)

[Anarch]

I crit with my sniper for 20k really i am not joking i didn't expect it to screenshot it but it was the best moment for me in the game in supreme jerk difficulty after all the strangle to get to that point. But yes i agree sniper needs a bit nerf and buff other weapons especially Assault rifles the rest are balance i think. Even the hobo npc late game was a killing machine with an auto shotgun.

[Kaerius]

Assault rifles feel really weak. SMG is ok, pistol is ok, flamer is pretty good, heavy machinegun is pretty good, shotgun is great, sniper is great. As for the weird science weapons, I haven't found any super-good ones yet.

[BigRockWall]

Ignoring sneak attacks,, Sniper is super reliant on crits once things get thousands of HP. 2 shots per round at around 200 damage a shot (on non crits) makes the sniper damage fall off majorly compared to 2-4 AP attack users who get multiple bullets per shot multiplying barrel mod damage increases.

Doesn't mean you can't build appropriately to make it work. Just something I noticed that made my sniper go from "god mode" earpy game to "relatively balanced " late game

[fafilose]

Here you go. Overcharged Neutron Projector at 2.4x crit damage on SJ. You can get even higher if you get a sneak attack lucky mega crit with the rank 10 perk.
