This is my type of build, some good tips, thanks! I've been running full health build since I started playing, with some differences though. Mainly in armor, which I have a mixed batch of Auto Stim, Chameleon, Life Saving, Regenerating and Weightless. Especially the last one isn't the most optimal, even though it has nice secondary stars. Might have to try Vanguard's or Overeater's, since I have other fully fed buffs too. Weapons wise it's pretty similar, AA Handmade + Quad Railway (less AP cost than the Handmade). I don't exactly love playing with V.A.T.S. though, so I have a similar but a bit sneakier Rifleman build with AA Fixer and AA Gauss Rifle to play without using V.A.T.S.

Been playing casually for the past few months, just hit lvl140. Now I haven't as of yet put much thought into my build, thankfully perk points etc can be reworked. I have seen loads of low health builds and for some reason, they just didn't appeal to me... This build though is right up my street and from this point forward, this is how I want to mould my character. Thank you for sharing, great video 👍💪

Company tea fills your thirst meter like crazy. Strongly recommend

Something to add as well, if you are Carnivore instead of Herbivore you can still use company tea but it reduces it's effectiveness down to +10% vs herbivore which can place it at +25% as shown in the video

Nice build! I like using Party Boy and Sweetwater Special Blend for the +PER buff on all commando builds. With a freezer, I tend to not run out of the stuff between dailies. It helps with damage quite a bit!

Nice build, I find no matter how many builds I try I always come back to holyfire/excavator PA build. Its just so comfortable. Hardly ever die, nice carry weight, PA rad resistance. If only I could get poison resistance as well everything would be a walk in the park.

@@spacequack5470 Union's 150 poison resist is overkill and it's frankly not worth the farm for most. Roll 25-50 poison and fire resist on your armor or just run the legendary perk cards (Funky Duds + Sizzling Style) at lowest rank until you no longer need them.

Helpful tip,stack your level up points and your extra special card you may have then upgrade them to max then scrap them for your “perk coins” to upgrade your legendary cards👍👍

So for the handmade anti armor , does it drop anywhere as a legendary or am I speccing into myself and crafting one ?

A different take on a Commando full health build I use: Grim Reaper, Gun Fu, Adrenaline and rank 3 Concentrated fire + rank 3 Quick Hands. Once you stack Adrenaline, Gun Fu with Grim Reaper is a full-on onslaught, you basicly never run out of action points and do pretty good damage. Both my Fixer and Handmade are modded to get the lowest possible AP cost with the best VATS accuracy the low AP mods will allow, it's super fun. I also run rank 3 Evasive and rank 5 Ironclad for survivability (+95/+95), and rank 3 Fireproof. Mutations: Marsupial, Grounded, Speed Demon, Adrenal Reaction. I'm level 105 as of today. Gonna go Herbivore too, the tea tip is very good.

I use a very similar build with a Railway Rifle mainly. Super fun and the regen is fantastic! I use what rads legendary, no starched genes since I never need to use radaway so stack them luck cards like a boss!

Would this be a good build as a power armor user? Specifically the enclave x0-1 power armor? If so would you swap any perks to benefit power armor use?

Great video, it's just the build I needed. Thanks! I've been playing full health since I first started playing 76, and have been trying to figure out a non-bloodied Commando for a while now. This build has me rethinking all my builds both SPECIAL and perk-wise. Gonna see if I can adjust my Full Health Pistol build to give it more survivability.

Will try this build out with groceries backpack mod, what u use when beeing in a nuclear zone btw?

Great video, Mr. WestTek! I just started playing last week and have been working towards this build. I do feel like I missed something because I'm currently level 57 and am still very squishy.

It's just a level thing. When you're lower leveled you just get steamrolled by stuff. Event enemies have more health and damage to um as well. So don't get to hung up on it. It'll come. I'm level 123 and still struggle with some enemies occasionally. I can kill anything (except earl) but it takes a whole mag.

@JesseKosten

Armor penetration (especially on bosses and big enemies) is better than just more damage. Earl has 90% damage reduction (iirc) so armor penetration is more effective. Either add tank killer or a perforating magazine and you will be around 90% armor pen (cannot go past 100).

they fixed one for the team?

Nice! I just started playing again a month ago, I haven’t played since the wastelanders update, and have been trying to figure out what works well these days. I tried going back to my old gunslinger build that worked back then, but it doesn’t do the damage that people do these days. And it definitely doesn’t fire as fast 😅 I also like to be at full health and wanted to try a commando build, so this helped a lot! I’m currently running a plasma flamer, but need a good rifle to get the ranged shots in. This helped a lot!

MrWestTek: You mention that if you are a VATS user with this build and you aren't using company Tea, you'd be constantly running out of AP. But let me posit this legendary star combo: Anti-Armor/Mutants + whatever secondary star you like + 25% AP Cost Reduction. That third star has to be AP cost reduction if you want to use VATS with or without Company Tea.

I'm confused... If only 50 perk points are allowed. How do you have all those cards equipped in that first build? Sorry. Starting new here

I am confused. M fairly new (3 weeks or so) and I’m lvl 57, I do not have enough points in my special to make it 15,15,3,6,12,15,15….. What am I missing here? Sorry for the noob question
