Aim for enemy limbs or their head when slicing away so as to hamper their ability to fight back. Since VATs only allows you to target the enemy in general you’ll need to do things manually. You’re going to need to use strong weapons, target enemies vital points and then slice away at them. Playing this character can be somewhat difficult if you’re not good at the game.

Other than that you’re basically focusing on making sure you character excels at using his small gun to destroy enemies. Night Person will help you with this as well by making it easier for you to detect enemies and shoot them from a good distance or sneak past them. Friend of the Night makes it easier for you to see during the nighttime hours which are when you should be actively moving around the Wasteland or dungeons. Taking a look at this build you can clearly see one of the primary purposes of the perks: making you an absolute beast at night.
