If you find an M24/SVD, go for rifle first, if you find an HK, M16, AKs first, tho that will likely be an AK or Vintorez go auto I just raise speech/barter + whatever skill the most powerful long term viable weapon i come across uses. THere are little to no endurance checks to my knowledge and you can boost it circumstancially, and you can still pass PER checks by boosting it too with consummables. note that you can't lower PER & luck further. STR 8 END 4 DX 10, INT 10 AT7 PER 4 LCK 4. stats can't be earn, skills can, it's just about farming extra XP, easy choice

you are handicapped an equally spread 6 levels worth of skill point but get the best stats ever possible. You just need to grind a bit for XP and skills but it's worth the wait, if you don't want any stat-dependent shortcomings and miss stat-check based content. I made an 'OP stat generalist', aka 'gifted build'. you can't see them coming most of the time, just keep at 7 unless you go melee or close burst only, 7 makes you deadly at range and not miss checks. You can dump luck low without too much trouble as said, personnality can be set low without too much trouble and you still benefit high speech & barter.Д®ndurance high only for close range/melee to tank those armor piercing bursts at point blank otherwise, it's like fallout, mid-low is ok, especially when you sport expensive armor. Int makes you gain more SP, you need this high unless you want a very limited set of skill and avoid generalism. low strength is really a pain regarding managing weight in inventory honestly, if you like to hoard or if you want to use shields (no backpacks) set high Strength has many checks in dialogue, allows you to carry a lot and is required for handling most powerful guns wether decent sniper or bigger.

high dex, high intel and reasonnable strength will make your beginning less miserable.Дex is the most decisive stat for combat (max dex allows you to shoot 2 times per turn 5 ap, AND reload for low AP ones, or both snipe and shoot/burst with the remaining AP depending on your combo of weapon.
