Universal Crafter

A multipurpose PvE build, efficient crafter/miner/gatherer with max Carry Weight 196, allows tier 2 training in all 6 Professions. Skins geckos gets his own Safe House and 15 support perks. Ends with 80% Poison Resistance, 62% Radiation Resistance and increased Healing Rate. Tough, repairs, dismantles, fights, heals, disables traps and opens locked containers, and best of all he crafts everything.

Leveling

It is important to boost Science up to 100 at Level 2 and immediately get Educated to make this build work properly. Get Awareness and Swift Learner early and use jobs and quests to get early levels. Gather, mine and craft to level up, then test your combat skills against the environment once you get Even Tougher at level 12. Get Gecko Skinning and start piling up armor materials. Get some tier 1 training and start making your own leather armor and better guns and ammo. Get tier 2 pro training only as you get blueprints - then craft the best gear in the game.

Other Weapon Skills

As shown here, this build uses Small Guns, but you can optionally choose any of the other weapons skill instead and still end up with the same outcome as long as you're okay with a slightly lower First Aid skill. This slight difference should not affect any perks or anything else about the rest of this build. So tag Big Guns instead of Small Guns and use an M60 if you want! Or tag Energy Weapons and use laser rifles and Magneto pistols if you prefer, but don't expect your FA skill to quite reach 100 if you do.
