The key to this character is versatility, as such he'll use explosives, big guns, energy weapons/small guns(one first then the other). His main goal is to get as much caps a possible so speech and barter should be one of the first to be leveled. Science and Lockpick should be the very first skills to level since they allow access to every part of the game. Sergeant RL3 makes a good companion to back a mercenary up especially with Broken Steel as he gets a massive health boost.

Combat Style
He'll be doing a lot of open fighting so sneak is out of the question. He'll still be crouching to take advantage of Robotics Expert since bots are tough as hell. Quest perks don't really matter but get the Crit Chance Version of the Survival Guru perk, just choose all the bottom/ snide options except for the one about mirelurks as that immediately locks you out of the perk. Crit chance is important as it lets you get big hits in normal fighting. Use xuanlong for close/mid range, missile launcher for long range/tough targets, grenades(pulse especially) to take out tough enemies, and a marksman weapon like the backwater rifle or a321s plasma rifle.
