Your post just reminded me of F3's stealth armor. Sorry Loverevolutionary, I'm not trying to argue my method over yours. The reason for sneaking is to gain an advantage other your opponent, not trying to get as close as you can and then have them see you.

Though back to chameleon, having the extra bonus when not moving is huge, especially when you're not a high enough level to have 4 points in sneak. You don't even really need perks in sneak to do this, even one helps. Then by the time they make it to where you were you've already set up at your next point (maybe even dropping mines in front of your 1st position).

take 4 or 5 quick shots then move (2 or 3 seconds apart, enough time to aim after loading the next shot), if you're far enough away you can even sprint and they wont see you. Well yeah I move, that's kind of how sniping without cover fire works. When I am using chameleon armor, I can snipe with impunity. Let me ask you, when you find a good sniping position, do you move from it? Because I am usually completely still while sniping. Originally posted by loverevolutionary:Chameleon armor is one of my "must have" effects when playing a sniper. If the idea is that we cannot aim or use the pip-boy while in stealth, while offering us less protection, then the armor is useless. Don't make us stand up to read the pip-boy. Don't make it so bright you can't even aim at anything. Even if using your pip-boy breaks your stealth, don't make it unreadable. I can understand that maybe they put a downside to the armor (but I know of no other pieces that have a downside to them, other than general damage protection trade-offs), but this is ridiculous. Its positive is stealth right? Well its downsides are:ġ) Weaker/less protection than other forms of armor, so should only be equipped if stealth is usefulĢ) Super bright when hidden, making it impossible to do anythingģ) Pip-boy unaccessible without breaking stealth, you either have to stand up revealing yourself, OR use tab twice which can take valuable time and end up letting you get killed, and even then your pip-boy is far too bright to read So lets take a look at the Chameleon armor.
