hoover dam stocked em fairly often

At least put a spike or something on the flat bit.

In-game, they actually do

Painting a gun camo green makes it shoot harder. Walking around murdering things and choosing to increase an arbitrary number once in while make it shoot harder. Being within 100ft of certain characters makes it shoot harder. Why shouldn't engravings make it shoot harder?

Shit gun. Reloading takes way too long
Slow fire rate, ammo is hard to come by, can't get it only from killing NCR rangers, brush gun outclasses it in every way

It kicks ass.

This one. It has a balance of moderate damage and high DPS. The best one bar none.

Take a look at other guns posted ITT and guess how many perks needed for optimized damage. Mine needed zero.

The Anti-Materiel Rifle is the best gun.

Load it up with explosive rounds and take ED-E with and take out Legionary hit squads in 1 shot before they even spot you.

Slap a suppressor on this bad boy and you can take out an entire squad of NCR in a single shot with no reputation damage.

damage isnt the problem, accuracy is
the spread is horrendous and unless youre heavily invested into vats bullshit or chaining steadys you will not hit anything with it

honestly auto weapons in general get the fucking shaft in new vegas, fucking nonexistent crit mod and huge, heavyhanded spread penalties for no good reason
and the damage you get out of most of them isnt even that good because of how dt works
then you add in the amount of ammo you have to carry, its all just unfortunate

It served useful to me though. Probably because most of my experiences in combat were close quarters. I never pick targets from afar.

Its ammo appetite becomes a problem on hardcore since you're using 0.5 weight per shot. Holorifle gives you both better DPS and far better efficiency per cell.

There's also Elijah's LAER that eclipses every other energy weapon at DPS, if you can afford a billion repair kits.

Who needs luck? Well you should because crits are everything but even if you ignore the casinos you can easily buy all the ammo you need

Level 50. Or at the very least have Lockpick, Repair, Guns, Melee Weapons and Energy Weapons skill at 100.

Pretty sure that's what he said.

There's only one choice

Attached: latest.png (2950x850, 971K)

whatever level it takes you to get like repair, lockpick, survival and shit to a good point, theres a bunch of stat checks that youll want to hit
and no, on a related note youll want some investment in melee or energy weapons as well

Anyone crying about ammo availability are turbo cucks, any character with any repair skill can make weapon repair kits and AP ammo for any combustion based guns in the game. Just buy out all the regular ammo and surplus and break the shit down at a bench, then remake it all into AP

The only thing I had to actively be careful with were pulse slugs in OWB, since you can't craft them or buy them

>Using the Hand Loader mod that lets you craft every ammo type
Based. However, it's a mod, so anyone playing the game without mods are sol

>Whats a good level to start dead money?
My rule of thumb is to get the Jury Rigging perk by level 14, then do the DLC from there. DM has some fairly high skill checks, but otherwise you should be fine at level 15 or so.
>Do k bring my player items with?
No.

It's not like you even need to carry ANY other weapon save for maybe a couple of grenades. There's also the fact that it can be obtained much much earlier than either the Holorifle or LAER.
Also, it's more accurate. The Holorifle's shots are quite erratic.

You can make AP's without the mod, you just need that one for the stranger types of ammo as mentioned. Also Jury Rigging is the worst perk in the game because the stuff to make repair kits are abundant within the game world and circumvent the need to have jury rigging in the first place.

>Using anything but melee
Yikes! Have fun with your jamming piece of shit while I smash your head with my super sledge

>gun

Is vanilla NV good enough? or are there essential mods?

You can't bring any items to Dead Money, aside from quest ones that are mostly useless.
The optimal level you need highly depends on your build.
- Having Light Step (level 14, PER 6, AGI 6) and 50 Repair (to craft weapon repair kits) makes your life way easier
- Having Silent Running (level 12, AGI 6, Sneak 50) allows you to just walk past most enemies
- Sneak plus high Energy Weapons plus being at level

no dude you gotta download the cute anime face and sex mods so you can have the ultimate roleplaying experience as a prostitute in the mojave desert. Just play the game you fucking homo.

jury rigging is actually overpowered as fuck, not because repairing shit is difficult but because it allows you to condense loot extremely effectively by just combining shit together to create extremely valuable full condition weapons at no cost

A light shining in the darkness, riot shotgun, and anti material rifle are the best choices for guns.

Ok cunt

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

Bugfix and texture mods never hurt. I also prefer to mod VATS to be less annoying.

terrible dps

Once you get the level 35+ everyone's dropping 8k caps worth in loot, you don't _need_ jury rigging to condense generic loot with other generic loot, you only need jury rigging to repair uniques, which, as I mentioned, is circumvented with the use of repair kits.

>It's not like you even need to carry ANY other weapon

Well that makes the game kinda boring.

Same thing could be said about Hardcore mode anyways. It doesn't make the game more difficult, just adds minor annoyances.

i think jsawyers fairly essential at this point
most/all of the shit it changes makes sense, although it is a fair deal different than vanilla so you might not want it on your first playthrough
youll also probably want something that fixes script issues and a goo/dust remover

varmit rifles taking 5.56 makes zero sense to me

It was originally .22LR but the dev team thought having a weapon using .22LR wouldn't do enough damage even for players at level 1.

Quartermaster Bardon and GK Armorer.

There I just solved all your ammo problems for any gun forever. You're welcome.

The weird mag ruins it.

I hate the reloading animation.

And I hate you, too!

The JSawyer mod made by the game director changes the ammo back to .22LR.

Looks like colored metal to me.

The Holorifle is a fucking joke! (In function, stats, and appearance).

Looks like something George Lucas would put together.

I love it, if only you could turn off the sound effect since it does get stake after a while. New Vegas is the best game for revolver lovers.

Too bad it can't hipfire for shit.

How is there so much discussion about this empty ass game? What is there even to do outside of the main story (which is like 2 hours long) The 2 boring ass sidequests per major location?

It's a jury rigged grenade launcher right? I mean that makes sense, since the imperial rifles are modified sten guns

The fully modded stock laser rifle is one of the absolute best workhorses with a crit build.
>very fast firing with quite a good magazine size, accurate to boot

You can't go wrong with this humble lil thing.

The gauss was boring and unsatisfying to use. Lacks the feel of a real gun, you just get the blue pulse. Reloading every shot is also an extreme chore. Scope also sucks dick.

In general the AMR is a much more fun gun that serves the same purpose.

I'm serious, what is there to do after the first playthrough, give me a rundown. Doing the 2 legion missions instead of the 4 NCR missions?

I do it with Hanlon. Shoot it while he's sitting then when he stands and draws it shoot it again. Pick it up, run then when they stop looking they're no longer hostile. Might need to leave for a few days. I forget.

In any case there's no NCR infamy, no one gets injured except you and the gun doesn't have the 'stolen' tag.

Just Unarmed because Beth's engine is stupidly inflexible.
Obsidian originally wanted them to consume ammo too, but they couldn't implement it in time for release.
The retarded engine is also the reason why GRA is nigger-rigged together as it is.

I didn’t even that high of an explosive stats or perks and this thing kicked ass, just gotta make sure your arms aren’t crippled or your shots are going to go wide.
I remember switching between weapons a lot especially in the beginning, honestly the service rifle, 10mm and 9mm pistols, and the hunting rifle were always there for me

The STR requirement is bullshit and even when meeting it it can get pretty inaccurate. Usually can get it for less than a thousand caps even on a low-ish barter build though, and its ammo variety is great. On a high crit character it's a good standby.

Ratslayer's crit multiplier is x5, meaning that you can have a 100% crit chance with it as long as your base crit chance is 20% or higher which you can easily achieve.
You have a ton of good handgun options for this as well, and no matter what you pick you should be getting The Professional since (contrary to the perk description) it affects all crits, not just sneak crits.

Literally too OP

>The Professional since (contrary to the perk description) it affects all crits, not just sneak crits.
Is there a guide or list for perks like this? Or is it the only one.

Better criticals is the other big crit perk. It's the sole reason people put points into perception

The only other case I know of where the description is wrong is with Heave Ho, which affects the arc on all projectiles whether they're thrown or not.
There's no list of it that I know of, it's just stuff I've picked up from the wiki while coming up with builds. I've spent an unhealthy portion of my life just coming up with builds for New Vegas.

While this means they dont benefit from crit multipliers, they also take no loss from crit losses like on full autos. You could have no luck and with all those, still have roughly 20% crit chance with a Laser RCW.

It was the opposite
using the explosive or barter skill to outplay him with the rigged chair makes him see you as a threat just like Sinclair, ruining his entire "redemption arc" despite it being the very first encounter with him

I love the idea of it, it looks sexy, and it feels good to shoot. It's dogshit as a weapon though and the stock laser rifle with mods is still the best (imo) end-game energy weapon.
But it is one hell of a sexy weapon

Superheated fist being a holdout weapon is one of my favorite bullshit stats in NV.

Hope you have a repair kit for every full reload.

Oh wait, if you played Dead Money properly, you do

The redemption arc for him is kinda bullshit because it's hardly a redemption arc at all. Sure he lets go of his obsession with Sinclair, but now this asshole is at large in Nevada instead of being harmlessly holed up in Sierra Madre.

Honestly you get enough weapon repair kits if you just remember which items craft into them when looting normally.

>consolefags with auto-aim
You're speaking generally, but New Vegas didn't have auto (or even assisted (unless you count VATS)) aim on consoles.

It is possible to do well in shooters with a controller with no assistance at all.
It's just that causal players make up the majority of the console market, so developers just add it by default.

Where the fuck would i even get this?

The only choice

Doesn't it only stun enemies?

Based .357 chad. It's just so much fun to shoot. Something about it is just so satisfying.

Too much weight to carry all that scrap metal around. If you won enough at the Sierra Madre casino, you get up to 50 kits every 3 days, which is fucking ridiculous.

the shooting was meh, but the reloading animation was kinda cool

Just got done with my fist/melee playthrough.

Boone is so broken that any variant of anti-materiel or sniper rifle is good.

Holorifle is just the best. It is unique in multiple ways: it's not merely the only weapon in the game that uses Sierra Madre's hologram tech, it's also the only pump-action energy weapon in the entire series, I believe.
The thing also has rich lore and meaning tied to it. It's the thing that the technological savant Elijah cobbled together from Sierra Madre's tech: it's what allowed him to survive the Ghost People and the Holograms.

And mechanically, it's similar enough to YCS/186 so it's a certified beast of a gun. Certainly more satisfying than that Gauss turd.

Attached: dead_money.jpg (800x450, 50K)

The hunting rifle is probably my number one choice for New Vegas. Taking aimed, purposeful shots that tend to be 1-2 shot kills on everything is really satisfying, and bolt action rifles in general are really cool.

Yes and that means a free attack with any other weapon

I just like it because it fits my playstyle well. Namely - I or Boone spot a bunch of legionaire soldiers in a far-off city, which is also burning. Upon closer inspection we come upon a fucking dude wearing a fox' head who starts running his mouth off about crucifying people.

So I just point the weapon at the dude's head, squeeze the trigger - and BANG. No more dude. No more problem. I didn't bother approaching Legion gus after that point, I just fired whenever I saw one (or more) on the horizon. Fixing the wasteland one insect at a time. I recommend doing this, it's the thinking man's playstyle.

Why don’t you read the fucking thread retard?

Are there good, viable energy guns in new vegas? Other than the gauss rifle. I remember using pew-pew a bit but I'm not sure if it was a noob trap

now I want to go for another playthrough, havent played in ages and never tried the DLCs other than owb.
but I'm most likely going to play the same way I always play fallout and especially nv, stealth and shotguns. reading this thread I dont remember half the weapons, all I used was ratslayer or dinner bell.
whats a decent all around starting build?

any laser rifle variant with enough perks

Holorifle. Elijah's LAER. I remember the one you find in Repcon being pretty good early on, and the prototype you find in Vault 22.

100% knockdown chance AND you can take it into casinos

Attached: Sawed_off.png (2000x1000, 775K)

hijacking this thread to ask for a mod without any configuration that adds more than one gun to new vegas in a seamless way in the leveling loot pool or spread across the world, the most vanilla-like possible. I know that are a lot of good individual gun mods but I'm not seeing myself downloading tons of singular ones plus it ruins the surprise if I already know they're in the game. perhaps a compilation mod with tons of those?

What is the mod of the outfit?

That was only during the beginning of new vegas. Don't know if people remember but there was a patch that made them way easier to come by. Even the Hoover Dam vendor never had much back then.

I came here to laugh at you.

Maybe at level 3

Is that a fucking .50 AR-15 in wood furnishing?

I still love the sound effect every time

It says "sawed off" but it doesn't look like anything was sawed off to make the name accurate.

Underpowered.
Needs a mod to fix, otherwise cool as fuck.

Ive played new vegas a million times and ive never seen that

just because someone sawed off most of the barrel doesn't mean they made a shitshow of it
they sawed if off then cleaned up the edges nicely like a pro

the term is used for short barrel shotguns too, without being shortened with a saw

Gauss rifle or YCS/186 for highest single shot damage and sniping
Elijah's LAER for highest DPS
Holorifle for most efficient use of ammo
MF Hyperbreeder Alpha for cleaning up trash

every shotgun is viable in the game, so just alternate between the lever-action shotgun and dinner bell
just download the Classic Fallout Weapons mod from nexus. It adds a fuckton of weapons from the older games to the leveled list (for example fiends might have pipe guns or double barrel shotguns)
nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/37002

Weapons of the New Millenia also adds Millenia's guns to the leveled list. They are really well made, but might crash your game if you try to add mods to them
nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55008

I also recommend installing this mod for better, more fluid gun animations
nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64339

requires the mad bomber perk which was introduced only in GRA and explosives/repair is not a common choice anyways

>stg44
technically they already have the volksturmgewehr in 4 and 76 in the form of the radium rifle. Though the typical normie might not be able to tell an STG44 from an AK

thanks user

why did fallout 3 / 4 / 76 butcher the lore so hard

It's a retarded weapon, but extremely fun to use. Just make sure to quicksave.

I dig it, but trying to use it to take out a Ceasar's bitch squad outside of Red Rock Canyon was a chore.
>crit build
>ap rounds
>doing fuck all save for one bar of damage against those fucking assassins

>ribbed magazine

No.

How? It does more damage than the sniper rifle

I don't know if it's base game or one of my mods, but I had meltdown trigger off one of these for an ungodly glorious explosion

Fallout 3 and 4 didn't butcher the lore at all. Fallout 76 is arguable depending on if you like the retcon of how early Roger Maxson was thinking about starting the Brotherhood of Steel

Bring back the Chinese assault rifle or some sort of an94
I really never realized how few lmgs we have. We need a proper m60. Or maybe a stoner 63

Can you pickpocket it? I wanna side with ncr

the only real flaw F3 had in terms of lore was the super mutants thing which really should have been it's own new brand of mutant instead
Brotherhood was explicitly a rogue chapter on the other side of the continent

It's the worst way to play the game but also the most fun

The hand-made rifle is basically an AK, in Fallout 3 there was that Chinese shit... type... something I forgot

Absolutely no clue. I was surprised too. Even the sneak critical hits, plus steady and psycho, weren't doing shit. Sometimes this game just likes to fuck with you.

it's probably the most unique weapon in the game.

thrown like a grenade but it actually splits into a bunch of land mines in the shape of grenades that detonate upon contact. but when you collect the un-detonated ones up off the floor, you collect grenades instead of the land mine counterpart.

You can take any gun into the casinos.
It's just that you might have to use the language of physical violence to convince the owners.

Vanilla is pretty good. Find some guy who wants you to go to vault 22 where you will most likely first encounter a cazador. Find out if it gives you a phobia, and then use insect replacer if it does. I put off the game for the longest time because of that shit.

Asurah is no longer compatible with New Millennia. user is better off downloading Classic Fallout Weapons, Tammer's Standalone pack, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pack and Upgrades From The Commonwealth.

>mfw just beat New Vegas for the 5th on PC time last Sunday

What do now? The Frontier will be released never ever and I can only dress up my cute courier up so many times before I get bored. Fallout 4's modding scene is nowhere near as good as New Vegas and Fallout 3 is basically just a big DLC for New Vegas at this point. Any other games out there that can satisfy that itch that ain't S.T.A.L.K.E.R or Mad Max? preferably letting me play as a cute girl too

oh good to know

Have you updated Asurah recently? Mod author says that the meshes and textures don't match up anymore so they get all fucky. There's some compabilities mods out there for some of the weapons though, I always use the AK reloads for example.

why do the guns in new vegas all feel like shit to shoot? why is burst fire limited to vats? everyone shits on fallout 4 but at least the guns weren't so awful to shoot.

They're modding New Vegas into the fo4 engine. Be patient.

Because bethesda and zionmax forced them to use their piece of shit engine and jewed them out of money during development so they could buy the studio from under them. They also bribed game reviewers to lower their scores so they wouldn't have to pay obsidian a bonus.

There's a full set of slow motion NV reloads on Youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=gOvGFT3Fgd8), but I only recorded the one webm.

Nobody has ever said that New Vegas has amazing gunplay, just better than 3's. That's why you mod the shit out of it by adding better sights, recoil, gun movement, reload checks, fire settings, better visual effects, etc

>Realistic Damage mod
>Can use any gun right into endgame
Game might get a bit easy because of it, but it's worth it just to take a Cowboy Repeater all the way through Lonesome Road

The fuck is this trash? I'm American and I'm insulted at how it pisses on a good Russian gun.

Energy weapons aren't viable in New Vegas due to their scarcity throughout most of the game.
