New Vegas weapons

[Alliesaurus]

Hi guys, what's ur favourite weapon in Fallout New Vegas? Mine is Thump Thump.

[TwisterCat]

The anti-material rifle. That thing is insane, especially with high stealth. It's an early-game killing machine. If you rob the casinos and go straight for it, you're all but unchallenged until you get to the DLC's.

Even late game it's pretty good, if you throw in explosive ammo and all the attachments.

Haven't played and gotten far enough to decide which one is my favorite. Most likely non of them. :/

I think the best all-around weapon is the Q-35 Matter Modulator with max-charge ammo. It does very good damage, awesome critical damage, has a 2x critical multiplier, large magazine, fast attack rate, and great durability. It's awesome for close combat. The best all-around long range weapon is Christine's Silenced Sniper Rifle. Use hollow point ammo for silenced sneak attack critical headshots on creatures with a DT of 20 or less. Use armor piercing ammo otherwise. In regular combat, the DT cutoff is between HP and AP ammo is 8. No need for regular .308 ammo or regular microfusion cells.

You will do tremendous damage in the game with very low ammo usage if you use Christine's Silenced Sniper Rifle at long range and then switch to the Q-35 Matter Modulator in close combat.

Riot shotgun with slugs is just crazy at close range. It even makes mincemeat out of those awful irradiated deathclaws in lonesome road

finally a quality thread


hard pick tbh every weapon in NV is pretty badass even if just a meme

if i had to pick top 5 from either one of the following:

-rat slayer = broken stealth build from the start of a playthrough makes cheesing stealth super easy

-that gun = quality pistol and early on too!!!

-riot shotgun = doesn't matter which one or the unique version but a riot shotgun with the right build can just tear through anything. Don't get me started on all the ammo types you can use

-anti material rifle = flex on the BoS deathclaws and legionaries with man's greatest meat mist maker. Again ammo grades aside are entirely different but bonus plus.

-Archimedes gun = quite honestly the weirdest yet coolest "gun". More a radar and the actual gun is a space satellite turned lazer motar. Basically a mini death lazer from above. Takes 1 day to charge but well worth the wait to literally obliterate anything and everything short of armored enemies. With mods you can pretty much store up more uses making it a fun weapon to troll around with.

May sounds bland but the sniper rifle, seeing people's head goes boom feels oddly good in this game.

I can agree to this, question I want to ask is if you use the antimaterial rifle as well, its basically a sniper rifle with more pow but rare ammo, to me that is xD

As weird as it may sounds I never had the same feeling as with the regular sniper rifle, I find it less satisfying, plus if iirc the viewmodel is way too big, or maybe I'm confusing with the Gauss Rifle? To be fair I would need to play it againt to tell exactly, I haven't played it for ages.

I really enjoyed the Hunting Shotgun combined with the Shotgun Surgeon perk. It allows shotguns to bypass 10 points of Damage Threshold (DT) of your enemy. It allowed them to be highly highly against lightly armoured targets and made them feel realistic and like what they should be like in real life.
The enormous variability in shotgun ammunition in F:NV makes them exceptionally versatile and enjoyable to use.
The tight spread with the choke also made this a very viable weapon.
12 Gauge Coin Shot also was very amusing to use.

I liked to use the AER-14 Prototype, too.

Hmm. Never tried the Riot Shotgun. But it's nice to have you quote me and not shred me. Heh. Yes, I remember the Lonesome Road Deathclaws. They -almost- took me down. I can't remember exactly where but I remember them being everywhere.

My main issue with shotguns is range. Typically too close for me - on average. I don't want to be near enemies. But again, never used the Riot Shotgun. I bet it's fun.

before i want to start playing it, i want to ask something

does it have c96?

[Polverrati]

Sleepytyme.

I love crit builds, I love stealth builds, this is incredible for both.

There is a mod for one, quite a good one, too. By a fellow called Millenia I think.

My current playthrough involves a high Agility/Luck build centered around Guns. It's a point and crit adventure, wherein the Courier (female) takes out a Police Pistol and just caps a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the ass or alternatively kills Benny with his own gun - Maria.

Normally I just use shotguns on everything and everyone because that's what I like in New Vegas, but I will admit there is something satisfying about using the anti-materiel rifle, chambered with explosive .50MG rounds, and yeeting everything in sight with long-range splash damage.

Either way I'm mixing it up.
