KC'S NV GPT

[Freelance Henchman]

Fake edit: Also, the "Confirmed Bachelor" apparently means "Confirmed Homosexual" because you actually use chat-up lines on guys. I thought it was going to be something like male bonding or whatever, but then my character flirted with like 5 different guys.

Fixed smilie.

Good skills:

- Guns
- Science
- Lockpick
- Repair
- Speech
- Sneak

Survival is useless even on Hardcore mode.

Basically all you need is a Sniper Rifle with silencer, All-American and 10mm SMG. Good weapons to make you deadly at all ranges. Did anybody say this game was difficult?

 

[Felix]

hotguns in this game suck, even with a buff mod I have. Service rifle is also disappointingly weak even at low levels.

I raped almost everything with Riot Shotgun + Shotgun Surgeon perk + Slug round at close range so my conclusion is you're just sucks KC.

Service rifle only good early on in the game, after I have Jury Rigging perk it became repair tool, and Marksman Carbine does far better job than the Service Rifle anyway. The M1 Garand is fucking good, I always love its reload animation.

Ranger Elite Armor is the best armor.


9mm ammo, just kill Bennie and get the Maria, and they have their use again.


I'm collecting guns in NV atm, does this mean I'm LARPing?

Most of those are useless against high DT enemies though, and armor piercing ammo is a bitch to find. So far "This Machine" is the best gun for high DT enemies in my playthrough.

 

[RK47]

Silenced snipers makes it easier to stay hidden after first shot, if they ever get to medium range just switch to This Machine.

Early game, 10mm VATS at point blank will kill most things, Varmint with full mods will suffice as sniper rifle. But always consider frag mines / powder charges when you set up sniping position. Place it on ramp or building corners, so that when you draw attention, you can just retreat to a cover...wait for the satisfying beep followed by an explosion before popping the remnants with the 10mm.

God damn, that was some good shit, FUCK.
BoS, remnants of the Enclave, Boomers and NCR vs Caesar. Seemed like a bit of overkill

 

[kingcomrade]

The gun mechanics & ironsights in NV are far better than in F3 so you don't really need VATS

The problem I have is just that when stuff starts getting medium to close everything besides radscorpions and geckos run too fast.

And yeah sneak sniping seems to be one of the best ways to do things when you're not in an enclosed space. Even the varmint rifle can often one-shot things.

I haven't tried slugs in shotguns, I'll have to look into how to make 'em at the bench since I don't seem to ever find any.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

I stuck with the lever action rifles and shotgun for most of my game, all american was a bastard to repair so i just sold it.

Windmilling in like a tard is a good way to get yourself killed. I also use companions as pets, let them take the damage while i start breaking legs.

 

[ksjav]

The fact that you can actually discuss strategies and not "lol i took the hunting rifle and killed the enclave" speaks a lot of the game.

Troof.

My character is a stealth/guns build. Varmint Rifle w/silencer and night scope (or Ratkiller) with armor-piercing 5.56 for night-time hunting. Fun.

Also: Silenced .22 pistol has sufficed for me (sor far) for Splinter-Celling Legion guys to death with a trio or so of VATS headshots.

I'd really like to play an Energy Weapons Diplomat Scientist and a psychopath Explosives and Melee guy, but I doubt I will see three playthroughs, much less two.

 

[RK47]

Best light armor found so far - Vault 34 Security Armor. 16 DT at full condition and costs less than 100 caps to repair. I think I found 2 at poor condition during my romp in V34. That place is a madhouse but the rewards and atmosphere was worth it.

 

[Black]

There are nice 2 pieces of Chinese Stealth Armor in Hoover Dam. +5 stealth, nice DT and looks. And don't require you to go through hell to get them.

 

[DalekFlay]

Pretty sure in future playthroughs I will head straight to Camp Golf and get the ultimate Ranger armor, then head to McCarren and get "This Machine."

God mode.

 

[SoupNazi]

The Combat Ranger armor (the one you're probably talking about - from the main menu splash screen) and the Veteran Rangers that wear it only appear once you're circa level 14. Camp Golf is completely empty until then.

You forgot unarmed. It is insanely powerful and requires no ammo. Seriously. Try some bladed gauntlet or power fist. The perks for an unarmed build feature the best offensive boosts to boot :

I thought the one on the shelf in the barracks was always there, the rest don't spawn until level 14 and you make your ending decision.

 

[SoupNazi]

Oh, if there's one as loot then I guess it is there. I just know that when I went to Camp Golf early in the game, it was entirely empty. I didn't really explore it for loot though.

 

[DalekFlay]

Yeah, there's one on a shelf in the back room somewhere... I didn't even know what it was at first.

 

[dermatologist]

as someone else said, unarmed is so imba that it trivializes combat.

 

[laclongquan]

Damnit! Now I really want to try this shit.

Should I abandon Big Bang Age? My current 3rd Replay is going well... Do or Dont?

 

[SoupNazi]

Why the hell is killing ghouls considered a good act and bumps up karma? Only "thanks" to killing a bunch (more like a few dozen) of ghouls am I considered a "hero of the people" despite otherwise siding with the Legion, stealing and murdering innocents.

Yeah, the karma system is shit.

 

[spectre]

It's only for feral ghouls if i'm not mistaken, and they are a (radioactive) pest everyone's glad to see gone, so there you have it. Same for escaped convicts.

 

[SoupNazi]

In that case, why don't I get good karma for killing Cazadors, Radscorpions, Coyotes and what have you? There's no excuse, Radisshu is just right. The karma system is shit as fuck.

 

[Digital Monocle]

I wish the NCPs would bow before their master after I kill the Powder Gang, Khans, Caesar, Vipers and Ghouls... NCR should just promote me to General after those expeditions of slaughter

 

[Zed]

Mods I recommend:
Shotgun performance buff
Cazador nerf (seriously what was up with them)
VATS buff (I use the 50% one, so that vats is not useless farther than point blank)
Realistic Repair (Pretty much so scrap metal->replacement parts)
Durability Buff (I don't use this one but I recommend it. Guns don't break THAT easy)
Oven Mod (makes ovens work like campfires)
I can't remember the others I use.

LOL game-altering mods. hahaha. just install the lighting fix (dark nights/good-looking lights) and you're good to go. no need to cheat.
