Fallout : New Vegas

[Christopher]

Sorted the Power Armour. Loving it.

Looks badass with the AM Rifle on your back. Boone's also rocking the T51-d Power Armour.

What did you do to get the armour and training? Also where can I get an AM rifle?

 

[Christopher]

If the BoS like you, speak to Eldar McNamara about joining the Bos. He'll send you up the Black Mountain to install some radio equipment. Once you've done that, you're in with them. He'll then train you on using Power Armour.

You'll need to have done the previous quests for the BoS, though. To build your rep with them.

The Anti-Material Rifle can be bought from the Gun Runners, or from the Armoury in the BoS bunker.

 

[st3ve]

Whatever you do don't go in there dressed as the NCR lol.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Yep.

Although if you do the mission for them, they'll agree to a truce with the NCR.

 

[Vincec79]

I screwed up the Brotherhood quest and really can't be bothered to go back again, basically sorted McNamara but also told the other guy everything and now all they say is come back later :dapprove:

I got my power armour training else where and now have both T-51b and Remnant Armour, but after going through all that I am still prefering to wear the NCR Ranger Combat Armour and & Helmet just cos it looks the nuts especially with the Gobi Scout Rifle

 

[Scutch]

I'm currently on The House III quest.

Spoiler

I uploaded the robot upgrade sequence at Caesar's place, and made it look like I'd blown all the droids up. So I've obviously gone down the route of siding with House. Hopefully that won't cause too many problems.

 

[Christopher]

Best of luck...

 

[jam.]

I spent hours and hours and hours of my life in fallout 3. So I was hesitant to get this, as I didn't want to become a recluse again.

Well, I couldn't resist - and I got it the other week - but purposely haven't been on it that much, yet when I have been on it, I've found I'm not drawn in to it anywhere near as much as I was in Fallout 3. I can't be bothered doing half the missions so I just wander about, then get mauled to death as I'm such a low-level guy at the mo. This makes me sad. In more than one way.

 

[Scutch]

I've completely lost ED-E. I've been doing stuff with Rex, including his side quests, but when I came to get ED-E back, he's nowhere to be seen. Not at Primm, not at the Lucky 38...

I didn't even get to test his new laser upgrade

Also, when you come to do the Render Unto Caesar quest, don't go with Boone. Jesus.

 

[wozzaa]

He takes a few days to come back scutch. Then you should find him in the store at Primm. Will pop up a message saying he has returned before hand though.

 

[Christopher]

Just got the Remnant Power Armour. F*cking awesome and the rarest armour in the game.

Good luck getting it though.

I went through 40 Stimpacks, just to get the Armour. Another 10 to get the Power Helmet. (It's in a different place)

30+ Deathclaws (not joking, and in a small space, too) for the Armour Body, and it's located off the main map. lol
10+ Cazadors for the Power Helmet.

I've given Boone my T51-b Armour now. E-DE's rocking the upgraded armour from the BoS.

It's been ages, mate. I was told ED-E was repaired ages ago. He still hasn't returned.

Bloody hell. Stroll in the park, then. That's if the park was situated in HELL. Next to HELL Mk2.

 

[wozzaa]

Strange message popped up on mine. Went to Primm into the store and it cuts to him straight away.

There is the possibility he is lying in bits in the wasteland somewhere then. Followers when moving between locations on their own can still be killed.

Something else to try

"#2 Returning Lost Companions

If you are unable to find your companion despite waiting or fast traveling, go to Vault 22 and take the elevator to the second floor (oxygen recycling). Your companion will be directly in front of you when you step out. It even works when the companion has been told to "Wait here." This can only be done if you have a repair skill of 50 or if you have completed the quest in that vault."

[Scutch]

I'm not playing on Hardcore, though. I might check the Lucky 38 again, later. I got the message on screen saying he was back.

 

[Christopher]

Sure he's not in the shop in Primm, mate?

Weird one, that!

 

[Scutch]

Nah, been there a few times. Nash is there, but no robotics in sight. Unless his wife is one. Probably.

 

[Goodj]

Good work chris.

Just got my Euclid C-Finder, not as impressed with it as I'd hoped to be. It wont even drop a lone deathclaw!

what's the crack with "blind deathclaws" too!? they still seem to know exactly where you are

 

[Scutch]

I think you have to kick them in the nuts while they're sleeping.

Hangover from the Enclave's experiments, IIRC. Remember in Fallout 3 when they were fitted with masks to 'train' them?

These fellas are the same fellas. Sans masks.

Anyone come across Vikki & Vance yet? I picked up Vance's 9mm Uzi last night. That's another Unique Weapon off the list. Found it completely on the off chance, too.

Wandering FTW.

 

[Christopher]

If anyone wants the Remnant Power Armour, let me know and I'll do a quick walkthrough.

The version I followed was sh*te.

You'll need to be a hero, though. And Power Armour, ideally. And 60+ Stimpacks. And a gun that can 'one-shot' a regular Deathclaw.

Pretty basic stuff, then.

 

[Christopher]

Oh yeah. Crack on, straight from Goodsprings.

That Alpha Male won't know what hit it, I reckon.

Laughing fit, perhaps?

Would the BB Gun sort it right out?

 

[Vincec79]

Sounds like you picked up the Remnant Armour from the same place I picked up my first suit, though I knew it was there and what to expect so packed accordingly lol

The first first bunch of deathclaws almost had me as I thought I'd try using a Stealth Boy, which did f**k all, luckily got a few shots off with the plasma rifle despatching them with Criticals the main horde though I thought I'd be a bit sneeky so I crawled my way around on the rocks and then let loose with the missile launcher loaded with HE rounds then just mopped up the rest with the Gobi Sniper rifle and a bit of helpful baiting on ED-E's part lol

Went through around 30-40 HE Missiles, 5x .308 rounds for the Gobi, and 4 StimPacks. Level 28 with Re-enforced combat armour

Think I'll start hunting out the some more of the unique weapons to now

 

[Christopher]

Just throw some Scrap Electronics at it?

IIRC, that's how the Legion took Nipton. Crafty f*ckers.

LOL. Yep, that's the job.

I didn't do that. I just strolled straight in there like a baller with my AM Rifle. On my own. I left E-DE and Boone across the river. lol.

 

[McBunny]

i got the gobi nice gun but still lacks a bit of punch cant find a AM rifle

 

[Christopher]

Gun Runners once you get to ~Lv20.

One in decent nick is 8000 caps.

That's the badmuthaf**ker, on my back. Goes from my ankles, to over my head. lol.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah I got the AM rifle and gave it to Boone. I have the Gobi Sniper. Takes out most things with one shot, especially from distance as it counts as a sneak critical.

The gun runners have got loads of cool weapons. I bought most of them and then sold the s**t ones back using the money glitch to get more caps than I paid. LOL. Idiot droid.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Spill dem beans! how'd you manage that?

 

[McBunny]

think im only level 16 do i really need to wait till level 20 ?

 

[Christopher]

You'll be waiting a while. I'd suggest earning XP by killing stuff and doing missions.

But yeah, around Lv20 is when the fun begins.

 

[McBunny]

ah well will keep plodding along

 

[Scutch]

LOL. Spill dem beans! how'd you manage that?

Spoiler

Look for a specific weapon the trader has two of. For example, a Hunting rifle. So in his list it will say Hunting Rifle 1400, and underneath it, Hunting Rifle 700 (or whatever the cap worth is). Now, purchase the cheapest Hunting Rifle (always buy the one in the poorest condition). When you purchase it, go to your inventory and you'll notice it's condition is now 100%. Simply sell it back to the trader, but because it's 100%, you'll get more caps than you paid for it. Now, the trader has the item back, it will still be worth the same caps you bought it for (say, 700). Buy it again. Sell it back for more caps. Buy it again. Sell it back for more caps. Add infin. Or until the trader runs out of caps. You can then buy anything else from them but leave the Hunting Rifle (or whatever else they have two of and are quite expensive), and you can always get your caps back.

Works well with the Gun Runners robot, as it has some expensive weapons and a pretty decent kitty.

 

[Christopher]

LOL!

Sounds like he's spent too much time giving financial advise on CS.

I'll try it later.

 

[The Boosh!]

10+ Cazadors for the Power Helmet.

I've given Boone my T51-b Armour now. E-DE's rocking the upgraded armour from the BoS.

Do a guide you spoon? Where is it?

 

[Scutch]

That mask is f*cking mental. Looks like Jeff Goldblum on acid. In his fly guise, of course.

 

[Christopher]

This guy's done a superb job at a walkthrough. Better than the one I followed.

When he says 'a few Deathclaws' he means 'f*cking loads'

I counted...

10+ Young Deathclaws
10+ Deathclaws
1 Deathclaw Alpha Male
2 Deathclaw Mothers

If you thought clearing out the quarry was tough, this is ridiculous.

You'll need...

Power Armour (or at least Combat Armour in good condition)
Minimum of 50 Stimpaks.
A gun with a Damage of at least 80. I used the AM Rifle @ 102DAM.
Grenades.
Balls.

Oh, and if you have any companions, leave them behind. They'll die within four seconds. Guaranteed.
