First Trip to Nuka-World...Tips, Tricks, Suggestions?

[LuckyHare87]

Title says it all...
Just finished the main game (siding with the BOS) and already played the Far Harbor DLC. I'm about level 70 and with the DLC installed I've already found some nice Nuka-World armor and two Western Revolvers (not sure if I should bring them along or not).
Should I wear Power Armor in or leave it back at my settlement? What guns would be best to bring?
Any help would be awesome so I don't go in regetting something I should have done!

Well, in Nuka-World you'll find new sorts of creatures (that are mostly base game creatures reskinned) and a tougher, and better armed and armored, breed of raiders. The only recommendation I could give is that you chose only your favorite weapons and armor to travel to the new map so you are able to loot more before you become overencumbered, lol, because you'll find cool new weapons and gear there.

Once you arrive in NW and make it out of the first building then get to the park entrance, you can fast travel back to the Commonwealth. So, you can always go back and get anything you think you want while in NW.

Once you're in the park proper head back to the Commonwealth and swap out your armor and weapons, travel light when exploring Nuka World because you'll wind up with about half a dozen sets of X-01 power armor and several metric tons of good (but heavy) weapons and armor from the raiders.

If you don't wear power armor (I don't use it myself, just collect it) I'd advise bringing along a rad suit, there are a few areas in and around the park it comes in handy.

If you like the custom rifles in NW, buy as much ammo as you can. The shops in town are the only place you can get it (aside from looting Nuka raider corpses that is).

Buy Throatslicer from the shop area ASAP. Its one of the best melee weapons in the game, super fast, bleeds on every hit and does insane damage. If you use companions hand it to your favorite companion and watch them go complately psycho on anything stupid enough to attack you.

Prepare
to die.

Seriously. At least once. Place is full of lovely surprises like stumbling off a cliff and landing on a behemoth's shoulders.

Nuka-cola. Tons of it. In every flavor. If you're into NC, you'll be in pop heaven.

Other than that, being the Overboss while formerly being Preston's lackey and killing off those sorry settlers was refreshing. That and Redeye telling me how awesome I am after restoring the power and placing some outposts out in TC.

Bring 50 pounds of stimpaks

Some may consider this blasphemy. But. I believe I like Nuka-World better than Far Harbour. Far Harbour has better quest lines and certainly has the tone right for the dark and dank place that it is.

But at the same time, the unabashed way that the developers took an amusement park with all of it's cross-branding and thematic elements and turned it into a radioactive wasteland with raiders is fantastic.

A little spoilerific, but:
If you help the raiders, eventually you will get 2 out of 3 possible and very powerful perks. The Pack has the best perk, and the Operators perk is good for ranged builds, while the Disciples one is good only for melee. It really is a substantial boost to your character, and I definitely recommend getting the perks.

So IMO definitely get the Pack perk and then whatever suits your character. You will not get the perk for the faction you have given the least areas.

If you do Open Season (kill all raiders) before getting the perks, you will never get the perks. However, when you do get the perks, Preston will permanently hate you. Additionally, even doing part of Open Season will make the new DLC companion your enemy, so make sure you get his companion perk first.

So, most importantly, to min-max either:

a. Get Preston's companion perk first then go get those raider perks.
b. Get the raider perks before even meeting Preston, go find Preston and he can be your companion if you do Open Season.

Other than that min-maxing stuff, the hardest part of the DLC is the very beginning of it. Bring your best stuff.

Bring lots of rad away and stims.

The first part of the game is hard for new comers who play on survival/very hard.

Make sure to bring with you the Silver Shroud outfit, if you completed that quest and wear it when you get to the (forgot the name) the dust area with the cowboy protectrons.

My advice if this is your last DLC with quests take your time and enjoy it. I went into it with a lot of negative comments from others in the back of my head, but found it to be fairly deep and enjoyable.

watch every season of ''mash'' the tv show then start whereing double denam and grow a handel bar stash then go to kmart and just hang out, then only then you will be ready.

Pretty much the same as as what kaffekoppen said , but to add, I havent not long finished nuka world and only did it to giving them a part of the city , didnt want to lost settleement I'd put a lot of time into , got gages perk , felt terrible about killing him in open season, But there is light at the end of the tunnel where you can do ALL..
There a gage mod made by elianora which chnages his looks, but its actually a certain post I want to refer to on the mod page , where Rhiannon has posted you can do all raider quests and still keep gage as a companionat the end if you so want to and go do open season and at the end go back and clear out the now owned parks and wastlands still owned by raider groups , and still explore ...
Have a look here on this at rhiannon , but depending on the style play you might not want to... just exploer read wiki on nuka world quest which give a good clue as the which way you might like to go http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18116/? gage mod

Take over the red rocket there. The building up the hill from there spawns groups of baddies that fight, every day. Usually there is a legendary involved making it a great place to farm them, if that is something you might be interested in doing.
