The Ultimate Modded Cowboy Build for Fallout: New Vegas

Start/Mods Required

Hey all! This is a guide to the ultimate modded cowboy build! Now you too, can be the true big iron wielder of justice! or Malice! Your choice!

Now, you need a few mods to do this. They are as follows:

- Starting gear overhaul: Allows for some extra items for your tagged skills. (Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/68721 )
- A trait mod: Adds some fun traits that make the game more fun! (Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/67885 )
- Perk every level: Because Fallout 4 got something right for once. (Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34707 )
- Cowboy perk improved: Adds weapons like the police pistol and sturdy caravan shotgun to the cowboy perk. (Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/63990 )
- Tammer's nif-bashed weapon and armor packs: Adds a bunch of cool weapons and armor using vanilla assets, so they all look real lore friendly and all are affected by different perks. (Link: http://fallout.firedrakecreative.com/doku.php?id=start )

Perks (Lvls 1-18)

I'm only doing levels 1-18, after that, you can pick what works for you. Also, since you're probably using the perk every level mod with this guide it will follow that formula.

Lvl 3: Intense training 1 (+1 AG)
Lvl 4: Educated
Lvl 5: Confirmed Bachelor/Cherchez la femme
Lvl 6: Comprehension
Lvl 7: Shotgun surgeon
Lvl 8: Gunslinger
Lvl 9: Hand loader
Lvl 10: Cowboy
Lvl 11: Toughness 1
Lvl 12: Sniper
Lvl 13: Life giver
Lvl 14: And stay back!
Lvl 15: Toughness 2
Lvl 16: Action boy/girl
Lvl 17: Strong Back
Lvl 18: Walker Instinct

Weapons and Armor

Note: There are more weapons than I can count added by tammer's pack, so I'm just showing a few that could work.

Weapons: .357 revolver/8-Shot Revolver/Tackle box revolver --> .44 magnum revolver/.357 under barrel revolver/police pistol --> hunting revolver/12.7 heavy revolver

Caravan shotgun/single shotgun --> lever action shotgun --> coach gun/vintage repeating shotgun/ double barrel shotgun/bolt action shotgun

Cowboy repeater/break revolver carbine --> lever action 5.56 rifle/ trail carbine --> brush gun


Armor: Caravaneer outfit/trailblazer outfit --> lead slinger jacket/outlaw jacket --> vagabond robes
Rawhide cowboy hat --> devilhound helmet.

Results

You should look a little something like this: (about halfway through, yes I'm a furry, don't judge.)

Just a heads up for everyone, the parentheses at the end of the mod links will be included if you outright click them and they won't work, so make sure you copy the link and delete the parentheses at the end.
