Hello! I was playing on Reloaded a couple of years and i want to share some good stats for your first character. So here I'm gonna show what stats ([[SPECIAL]]) [[traits]] and [[skills]] you need to make a strong playable character. This is gonna be the character who use [[Small Guns]] but it can work same with [[Big Guns]] or [[Energy Weapons]]:

==SPECIAL (stats)==
* [[Strength]] - 5   
* [[Perception]] - 6 
* [[Endurance]] - 10 
* [[Charisma]] - 1  
* [[Intelligence]] - 5
* [[Agility]] - 9 ([[Action Points]])
* [[Luck]] - 4

==Traits==
* First trait: [[Fast Shot]]  (minus [[Action Points]] for the gun shots). It can work against your accuracy at first, but if you rise up your weapon skill you will be able to do more bursts or single shots with crits without aiming.
* Second trait: Pick [[Bloody Mess]], or [[Good Natured]] if you don't want to be a [[slaver]], or [[Fast Metabolism]] or nothing. The rest of the traits are bad for this build.

==Skills==
* [[Small Guns]]
* [[Repair]] 
* [[Lockpick]]

==Perks==
Check the [[Perks]] and choose what [[perk]] you gonna pick when time will come ([[Levels]] 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24), but  must-have perks are [[Bonus Rate of Attack]] at level 18 and maybe a [[Lifegiver]] for more [[HP]].

==Drugs==
You can use many [[drugs]] and get no addictions. There are some drugs that you will need for you build: [[cigarettes]] and [[Nuka-Cola]].
*[[Cigarettes]] can be crafted as many as you want at [[Tobacco Farm]] at the [[Cigarettes Crafting Machine]]
*[[Nuka-Cola]] can be found or crafted or you can buy limitless amounts of Nuka-Cola in [[Junktown]] at the Skum Pitt bar for 100 [[Caps]] each.

==Tips==
MAIN thing!!!! Be sure you play in [[Turn-Based]] combat mode (FOConfig.exe -> combat). First [[skill]] you need to improve is [[Small Guns]] (or your other main gun skill) to least to 120%, then [[repair]] at least to 60% and find/buy some [[tool]] to [[repair]] your gear. This server has no loot drop in most locations, so the hardest thing is to get started. When you come out of the cave to [[The World]] map, go to the [[Gun Runners]] (Zone 30:45) and speak with [[Marshal]]. Then come to the [[Hub]], you need to find 100 [[Caps]]. Search the lockers around the town and sell items to [[Gun Store Beth]]. Then find [[Iguana Pete]]; he will give you a first level [[XP]] for the 100 caps iguana. Dialogue option with him is:
*1. Id like an iguana on the stick please 
*2. Yeah id love the iguana on the stick
*3. Okay here you go. Now give me my Iguana
Then you can go to the bar (right from Pete) and order some food from bartender to get some more [[XP]]. 
Also you need to get [[Gecko Skinning]] perk for 500 [[Caps]] from the Traveling Merchant near Beths Gun Shop.

==Tent==
Now its time to get you your [[Folded Tent]]. Head to [[Shady Sands]] (NCR) in zone 34:27. Enter the city and go back to [[The World]] map, and you'll see a new yellow location nearby. [[A Tent in the Wasteland]]. There is a family there  and you need to help them. Ask [[Evelyn the Farmer]] (P.S. don't play cards with [[Hasso the Farmer]]). Kill all rats on their farm and you will find the [[Red Ryder BB Gun]] and will get a [[Folded Tent]] as a reward. Also that quest is the start of the long and interesting main quest, [[Blood-Soaked Heroes]]. After you get the [[Folded Tent]], build it near the [[Hub]].

==Scout Dog==
There is another cool feature. The Scout Dog, with 100-129 [[Hit Points]] that gives you 120% [[Outdoorsman]] skill when you travel with him. Go to New Adytum (Zone 30:46) and speak with [[Dyer Greenberg]]. Ask about places nearby, and about Salvagers and then you will see [[Salvagers]] (Zone 29:46) location on [[The World]] map. Go there and speak with the Dog Trainer. You can buy a Scout Dog from him for 500 [[Caps]]. ''WARNING''!!!@!@! do not buy the 700 caps dog - he is much weaker. To travel with a dog, you need 40 [[party points]] (use '''~pp''' command in game to check your party points). 1 [[Charisma]] and every 30% of [[Speech]] gives you 10 party points, so I usually use [[beer]] + [[mentats]]. There are commands for NPC [[followers]]: press alt key and click on the ground near you, and you will see a menu with commands. '''Flee''' and '''Regroup''' are the main commands. Use Regroup if the dog gets stuck or does not follow you. Use Flee and the dog will run out to exit, which can save his life in combat situation if he is hurt. If the dog dies, he's gone for good.
