Help!! Old World Blues

[arwenfluff]

Hi i have no stimpaks no ammo for my weapons and im taking a ton of dmg and the general mobs are kicking my arse because of those reasons.

The think tank man in useless not selling me any stimpacks or anything of value I can use to finish this dlc and go back to the Mojave.

I seriously screwed and I need advice on what to do is there a way for me to return to to gather things and then come back because its looking really bad reallly really bad. The weapons i got from this place barely bites the scorpions. Im considering starting a new game but I dont want to!

I remember this dlc being boring but not this hard and I made it through

I'm guessing you didn't save before entering the dlc.

Take this as a lesson that's been said since computer RPGs became a thing: DONT RELY ON 1 SAVE.

Also, you didn't think to bring supplies with you before starting?

To add to this probably you do not have armor piercing bullets and you are using guns therefore you do no damage to the robots; I am having no problem because of the Hand Loader perk it is so good. Its my first playthrough and I am on Survival Hard pretty cool enjoying it a lot. Try getting the proton axe ASAP from the lobotomites it is very good against the robots and scorpions.

I'm using the weapons to break their armor and i have the proton axe its not very effective on the robot scorpions. If there is like 4 scropions on me i takes 5 hits to kill 1 scorpion my health is gone and no stimpaks.

I thought I had enough and i know I would get new weapons but i didnt think the ammo would run out fast. And yes I have more save files but I dont want to go all the way back .

Follow Father Elijah's survival strategy and stick to the high ground.. Namely the pipes running overhead everywhere.

What level are you? Going into the Big MT too early can make for a painful experience. It's also essential to have high levels of a few skills that compliment one-another with their respective perks. What is your preferred weapon style and do you have perks that are helping you get the most out of your combat ? Lastly, what is your difficulty? Try bumping it down a couple notches to make it through the difficult parts.

Both Christine's rifle and an LAER are not too far from the SINK. Pick them up and they will help you a lot.

they are both near the Little Yangtze prison camp.

I'll give you an exploit that earns you a perk anyway:

If you can make it to the edge of the map, use it to circle the place and pick up fast travel markers to go farther and farther.

The reason to stay next to the edge is if you run into something you CAN'T HANDLE- (or at least not yet) all you have to do is go out past the perimeter and it transports you right back to the sink with nothing lost at all

You can use it to fast travel back to the sink EVEN IN COMBAT OR IF OVERLOADED

I found it every bit as useful as staying next to a large body of water in skyrim, wherein almost nothing follows you into a river, lake, or sea. This has the added advantage of dropping you right back in your main base


I've done Big MT at all levels and on survival as early as level 2 (two)

The way I take it down is in a series of RECON sorties heading first directly south to the antenna you have to steal, but I don't take it until after I have gone around counter clockwise and done a few things such as get my hands on the super duper stealth suit and going through the testing to max it out

You can get to almost everything quickly from fast travel points around the edges of the map

Be advised though: what you need to repair that stealth suit you have to have brought with you when you started the DLC. I recall that you don't find much to repair it with


If you grabbed the chinese stealth armor(s) from Hoover Dam, those can be repaired with patient gowns

(?) I think its a kind of legion armor that can repair the stealth suit
