Standard kit for me is the Hunting rife (fully modded), varmint rifle (fully modded), sturdy carvan shotgun, anti mat rifle (fully modded), broad machete and a shovel.

Really ? I always assumed it was shit.

Currently doing OWB and I must admit I'm pretty stuck. Dropped mu Combat armour for Christines Recon Armour and it's bollocks, keep dying all the time. Bloody robots.

Loving the talking furniture though.

Standard kit for me is anti material rifle, ratslayer, hunting shotgun and assault carbine.

Lucky 38 > Penthouse > Antechamber > Private elevator


Though not sure if you can do this outside of a quest where you're assigned to do it. And killing house doesn't knock the Securitrons offline, from what I remember.

Run past the robots.
They're so slow I just strolled past them.
But they're easy to kill anyway.

Go for the Mark 2 reinforced combat armour - Gunrunners guards are perfect for bitch slapping to get this, they respawn every few game days, and you don't lose karma/faction respect for doingn them.

Plus any extra bits you can get, sell to the Vendortron outside. My last playthrough, I think all the humanoid companions had this setup, looked like a bunch of colonial marines wandering around the penthouse :lol:

I'm using the recon armor with a valence on my head.
I'm silent and my health regens.
Every now and then though I shit myself when she says, "Initiating combat......... just joking."

That gun is quite powerful when you're perked up etc. Same as all american, although that can be quite weak unless you score criticals with it. The amount of shots that can be fired through vats makes up for its weakness though. I usually wear joshua graham's armour because it increases your critical chance, plus its light and can be repaired with any suit or shit piece of wasteland clothing (if you have the perk that is). My favourite rifle is probably this machine or the survivalists rifle. I'm getting back into this game again, i haven't fast travelled once so far and i find it adds to your immersion in the game. I have stashes all over and i can't remember where i put my set of the unique desert ranger armour.

I haven't stashed a thing.
I just gather to sell sell sell.
I have 1 more mod to buy from The Dish.
And 1 more to get from the medical center in Mojave.

I had it but I used it to repair the shitty recon armour which is now on 11 DT, big regrets. I've got the jury rigger perk but i can't find any usable armour in the big empty. 18000 caps to repair.

Not got any companions and not using VATS at all, I found it too simple like that.

Im pretty sure that there are a few sets of combat armour in big mt mate. I think i ended up wearing the hazmat suit because my gannon family armour was broken.

On a side note, Arcade Gannon annoys the shit out of me and I'm looking forward to selling him into slavery this time round.

Gonna have to start playing this again, only saw about half of the map before I completed it last time so a full wander is needed.

Grabbing the Explorer perk is a proper eye opener, so much stuff I'd missed.

Not to mention some of the locations only appear when you've accepted certain quests.

Vault 34 and Vault 22 are both stnuc, even if you've got a 20+ character. Those fucking spore carriers in 22 still scare the shit out of me.

I stopped playing this game when I picked up FF7 again. The complete bug when it comes to Veronica really put me off.

That said, I actually didn't do any of the add-ons at all so for sure ill jump back into this when I've defeated Emerald and Ruby for my first ever time.

Emerald is a piece of piss once you get the Underwater materia to disable to the 20min time limit. Ruby is and will always be a tnuc.
