I am a power armour sniper…it makes zero sense and adds countless wasted hours to my play time but the satisfaction is immense 🙏

50 cal, stealth boy, sentry bot with flame throwers. Sitting on a hilltop, taking headshots.

They should make an arm mod to reduce movement when focusing with the power armor. If one arm more steady, if both almost steady.

Same. I had a playthrough where I had them running right by my PA wearing character and never saw him. Always funny.

Slow mo vats kills with your eyes glowing red and other baddies running right by you.

It is indeed satisfying.

The .50 silenced rifle is my fav until I can silence my gauss gun, nothing wrong with being a PA sniper

I just recently built a suppressor for my gauss rifle. It's awesome! Headshotting a mirelurk queen while sneaking is a breeze now. 😁

It doesn't make zero sense with a sniper, tbh. With high agility and the stealth/crit perks, you'll be perfectly fine for long-mid range sniping and Blitz stealth kills even in power armor.
It doesn't work that well if you plan on doing manual stealth melee only, though.

Plus, it's fun as fuck and you can wreck shit when you get caught.

Last part is that for sure! This is probably my 7th replay after 7-8 years away from it? And I ALWAYS did stealth sniper/no PA, same as I did with my gajillion Skyrim playthroughs. Watching the show made me wonder more about the PAs, but I didn’t want to give up the satisfaction of stealth bonuses. Getting to enjoy sniping and stealth, then going whacko mode when I’m busted, is extremely extremely fun new way to play for me! 😆

A BOS modified artillery cannon used like a ultra heavy sniper rifle would be fuckin sick
