The penalty of -2 AP is offset by the large investment into Coordination, and the -15% Hit Chance will only apply to your Pistol shots.

This Quirk essentially gives you an extra Reload for the first two rounds, allowing you to fire another Rocket. Quirksīy far the best Quirk I’ve found for this Build is Two-Pump Chump. It also helps to raise your Perception when you are wandering through enemies, making you aware of traps you might trigger. I’m reasonably certain Awareness will also boost damage from Rockets, but it certainly affects Pistols, and you won’t regret taking it either way. Once Intelligence is maxed out you’ll aim to max out Awareness to increase the damage from your Pistol. This really helps to take down the toughest enemies there are, especially on harder difficulties. Once you gain the High Impact Perk your direct hits will automatically Crit so you want to make sure you have the highest Critical Multiplier you can get.

Once Coordination is maxed out you’ll want to boost Intelligence for increased Critical Chance and Critical Damage. That is a great amount of DPS to say the least. You can get up to a total of 14 starting Action Points with the Anabolic Injector later in the game, allowing you to fire 4 Pistol shots or 4 Rockets per round. You need to max out Coordination as quickly as you can in order to fire off the most Rockets you can each turn, or most Pistol shots if you don’t need tons of Rockets for the encounter you are facing. Every Rocket you fire will benefit from this boost, as well as any Grenades you use, so it’s a no brainer for a Rocket-based Build. Recon Rocketeer Build Character Creation & Stats Backgroundsĭuring Character Creation you’re going to choose the Explodomanic Background in order to gain 15% increased damage with Explosives, which is not a small amount. However, you want to aim to kill the most enemies or hardest to kill enemies with the first shot if you can, because it will gain bonus damage from Sneaky Shit. If the first Rocket doesn’t kill your target, no worries because you can just reload and fire again thanks to the Draw! Perk. The Recon Rocketeer is aptly named because it not only uses Rockets to demolish anything its path, but also uses a bit of stealth to get into a good position from which to execute the most devastating attack possible.

In this Build Guide I’ll explain just how to make this Build, including what Weapons to use, what Skills to take and which Perks to pick up. Wasteland 3 can be extremely overwhelming for new players, and can cause confusion for veterans alike.
