Senior initiate:

Analyze Fallout Tactics Senior Initiates like Ice, Kevin, Mandy, Rage, Rebecca, Stevie, and Sharon for optimal builds and perks.

Ice

• Stats: 6 STR, 7 DEX, 7 END, 2 INT, 5 PER, 8 LCK, 5 CHR (Total 40)
• Skills: Small Guns, Sneak, Outdoorsman
• Traits: Finesse
• Perks: Can gain bonus Rate of Fire (IN), Sharpshooter, Bonus Ranged Damage, More Criticals (LK).
• Notes: Good sniper. Farsight has better PE and IN, same AP when around a someone with the Leader, but Ice gets the damage and critical improving perks. She can take Mutate for the Fast Shot Trait, but that would remove the Finesse which is good too for a sniper.

Kevin

• Stats: 8 STR, 5 DEX, 6 END, 6 INT, 7 PER, 9 LCK, 6 CHR (Total 47)
• Skills: Small Guns, Melee Weapons, Repair
• Traits: Gifted
• Perks: Can gain Leader, Bonus HtH Damage, Bonus HtH Attacks, Slayer, Silent Death (gain AG).
• Notes: Has all the stats to become a good melee fighter but is missing a tag on the Sneak skill to reach his enemies alive, and the Repair tagged is a waste.

Mandy

• Stats: 6 STR, 8 DEX, 7 END, 5 INT, 9 PER, 7 LCK, 6 CHR (Total 48!)
• Skills: Small Guns, Sneak, First Aid
• Traits: Gifted, Skilled (Perk Rate 4)
• Perks: Can gain Sharpshooter, Bonus Rate of Fire, Bonus Ranged Damage, More Criticals, Sniper.
• Notes: Can be a great sniper or gunner with a medic side. One build suggestion is to keep her till the end, make her a Medic/Gunner by improving her Doctor skill to 100 without tagging it and tagging the Big Guns skill (with the Tag! perk). Her perks were: level 4 (waited level 6) Bonus Ranged Damage, level 8 (waited level 9) Mutate to replace Skilled by Fast Shot (perk rate back to 3!), level 11 Tag!, level 14 (waited level 15) Bonus Rate of Fire, level 17 Bonus Rate of Fire, level 20 Sharpshooter, level 23 Tunnel Rat. Beside a Leader, she has 9 AP (3 bursts), can carry a M2 when in Power Armor, can sneak to get in the best shooting position and can heal your squad.

Rage

• Stats: 5 STR, 8 DEX, 5 END, 2 INT, 8 PER, 7 LCK, 5 CHR (Total 40)
• Skills: Small Guns, Sneak, Steal
• Traits: Awareness
• Perks: Can gain Sharpshooter, Bonus Rate of Fire, Bonus Ranged Damage, More Criticals (Gain LK), Sniper (Gain AG), Mutate for Fast Shot (or other like Finesse).
• Notes: Has good PE, AG, and IN, thus can become an excellent sniper/thief. His starting perk is useful to your squad. A good recruit if you want a sniper and thief.

Rebecca

• Stats: 5 STR, 8 DEX, 4 END, 4 INT, 6 PER, 8 LCK, 5 CHR (Total 40)
• Skills: Small Guns, First Aid, Lockpick
• Traits: Scout
• Perks: Can gain Sharpshooter, Bonus Rate of Fire, Bonus Ranged Damage, More Criticals, Sniper.
• Notes: Another recruit that can make an excellent sniper. Lockpick skill is really useful to open doors and containers later in the game. She can be kept and developed as a sniper/scout.

Stevie

• Stats: 5 STR, 7 DEX, 4 END, 4 INT, 8 PER, 8 LCK, 4 CHR (Total 40)
• Skills: Small Guns, Sneak, Unarmed
• Traits: One Hander
• Perks: Can gain Sharpshooter, Bonus Rate of Fire, Bonus HtH Attacks, Bonus HtH Damage (Gain ST), Sniper (Gain PE), Mutate for Fast Shot (replacing One Hander).
• Notes: Can become a good sniper and provide HtH support if needed, although she will not become a great unarmed fighter (cannot get Silent Death or Slayer).

Sharon (Tribal)

• Stats: 6 STR, 5 DEX, 7 END, 8 INT, 5 PER, 6 LCK, 3 CHR (Total 40)
• Skills: Small Guns, Sneak, Big Guns
• Traits: Chem Resistant
• Perks: Can gain Divine Favor, Leader, Mutate for Fast Shot (or other, replacing Chem Resistant).
• Notes: Has very strange stats. You can give her Bonus Rate of Fire if she Gains PE, IN and AG (or Mutate for the Gifted trait, but that would lower her skill rate which is not high). She cannot have the Bonus Ranged Damage, thus Brian or Jax are preferred as gunners. Take her if you want to use drugs, it would improve her stats (but won’t allow her to take new perks).
