As a note, coin shot’s extra projectile means that you have a better chance to trigger ‘and stay back’ and critical hits, which makes them fantastic.

"Throw money at the problem until it goes away" has become literal.

Are we really just gonna watch nerbit run around and spray people with his money shot for 22 minutes? Yes

Actually siding with the legion is a good idea for this challenge run type because they give you access to their stash area (AND IT ALWAYS HAS A LOT OF COINS IN THE BOXES FACING THE MOUNTAIN)

I know coin shot is supposed to be a regular shell but with the shot replaced with a few coins, but in my head the Courier is just shoving those paper quarter rolls into his shotgun with no primer or gunpowder or anything and it somehow works.

I find it ironic that nerbit uses legion money as ammo while at the end of the legion the courier gets their face on a coin.

"Don't say it, DON'T SAY IT!" He's already been here and cleared this place. I admit I'm excited to see the next part when it's ready.

That last NCR Ranger’s breakdance spin was immaculate.

The best way to get legion denarius is getting legion rept until you get the cottonwood loot box. The sheer number of coins they give you makes for a steady supply.

I’d love a “New Vegas with only unique items” run. Because while the unique items are good, I’m more interested in HOW you would tackle it.

This is really nostalgic for me because I loved using the coin shot in a build I used with the dinner bell. Since I was doing an NCR run at the time legion coins were everywhere so I was like, "It's free ammo."

A fun challenge would be doing New Vegas using only the Compliance Regulator, a unique laser pistol in HH that has the KO effect on crit hits, but deals pitiful damage.

I start a shotgun focused run in New Vegas and the next day Nerbit uploads a shotgun focused run. Coincidence? Yes.

Literally throwing money at people with great force for the win

Can you beat Skyrim as a scuba diver? Basically you can only use items that you find in or under the water. There's a few shipwrecks in the game that could be looted for items and a few chests that are located under the water as well. I'm interested to see just how much you would be working with.

I like the idea of this being a “shut up and take my money!” run where you don’t speak to anybody and just shoot them with pocket change.

The fact you've basically done a Hunting Shotgun run brings a massive smile to my face. And hearing it's your favorite of the Shotguns made it even bigger.

Salt-Upon-Wounds' headpiece is perfect for this run, JUST because on the back of his headpiece has all those shotgun shells on it, so yeah perfect for this run

Something I just learned yesterday, if you get an accepted or higher reputation with the legion they give you access to a bunch of boxes filled with stuff they don’t need. The boxes refill every few days and when I first checked them they had somewhere between 200-300 denarii.

I don't say this often but you're one of the very few people who I feel were born to make content. Even your old videos still hold up. You pump out high quality content like it's nothing. Always a fun time, Nerbit.

Can you beat fallout four as a synth? -use the playable synth mod -can only use the security baton or institute weapons -side with the railroad or institute

The kick that you got out of "gambo" made my day 😂😂😂

“Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Frank Horrigan?” Basically a kill everyone run, but you have to do Arcade’s quest and get Remnants power armor while also having your height increased. And you can only unarmed and Energy weapons. Finally, it has to be a Mr. House ending since he’s a pure human. Also kill as many Legionaries because their basically tribals.

Glad to see that Nerbit is cultured and recognizes that the hunting shotgun is the superior shotgun despite its stats compared to others. Lol great vid!

Silly idea, probably suggested a thousand times already but "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Frank Sinatra?" Completing quests while necking bourbon and looking dapper while at it.

Funny enough, when I first did a "focus on using shotguns" playthrough, that also ended up being my designated Legion playthrough. Fun bonus story: my resulting experience with And Stay Back! was in the middle of a deathclaw-infested cave I made a poor save in. I was just short of leveling up, so I merely needed to survive a couple deathclaws in close quarters with my weapon of choice and, after a few savescums, survived long enough to obtain the perk and trivialize the entire rest of the cave.

"Disgruntled roll of toilet paper" You did that man dirty, but I guess he has enough to clean it up.

Siding with House would have been a great joke. Both of you solve your problems by throwing money at it

21:11 Mans figured he’d let it rip one last time before the end. And it was impressive.

get a good enough rep with the legion and they drop off some supplies for you every so often in a certain spot including the coins needed for coin shot

Irony of you having to blur the tomato soup you made of that Paladin man made it more visceral. 🤣✌️ Great video as ever pal!

Since you're following the road, I just wanna point out that there's a Hunting Shotgun at the Nuclear Test Shack, near Primm (or Nipton, can't remember), and close to the Legion Safehouse - the catch is that it's surrounded by ghouls - SO MANY GHOULS. That's the path I usually take when getting a shotgun for my build

I saw coin shot and immediately my brain went “YOU CALL SHOOTING A COIN A MARTIAL ART” “you try doing it then”

Shooting someone with Coin Shot is a alternate way of saying "Violent Donation"

This is something I love about New Vegas- it has all sorts of tiny things that I'm somehow only discovering after playing it a bajillion times. Had no idea this was an ammo type. Heck, I only found out that the pocket sand melee skill was a thing even though I've definitely done what's required to obtain it before.

All these years i never knew Bandage Man was a vendor npc

Honestly, the best part about challenge videos like these is how they can put a magnifying glass on more niche gear/mechanics, exploring how practical they would be to incorporate or build around in a more practical playthrough-perfect for when you're looking for a reason to play through the game again.

I've never heard of the coin shot so this should be a learning experience ❤ Hope you are well man!

My favorite aspect of Honest Hearts is the terminal lore from tracking down the Survivalists Rifle. Good stuff.

I think it's a testament to your love of melee builds that in all your time in New Vegas, you'd not tried disassembling enough ammo to know you can't break down the non-standard varieties. Or at least the GRA varieties. You did get an NCR Ranger to breakdance at @21:13 that was neat. Also a silly suggestion: can you beat Fallout 3/4/New Vegas as the Mysterious Stranger? Hat, coat, revolvers only (preferably .44), must third-party every combat encounter you come across. Probably easiest in 4 because of the luck build type, just pop in with a VATS attack and disappear into the night.

This is the Fallout equivalent of a Gil Toss only run in Final Fantasy.

Never even knew this was a thing, guess you learn something new about Fallout New Vegas every day lmao Edit: Gambo First Bet may be one of the funniest misspeaks I've ever heard and it caught me COMPLETELY off guard

Has a hard time finding 12 Gauge hulls, seemingly leaves behind 6 of them while talking about it. Classic nerbit.

Speaking of coins, how about "Can You Beat [insert game here] as Two-Face?" Basically, you have to flip a coin, an irl coin, to determine which decisions you'll make in the run and whether certain critical npcs get to live or die.

I still have no idea how And Stay Back got farther than anyone’s minds. Absolutely broken.

It is not if it can be done, it is about how you end up doing it. That is what this one was all about.

I get that, in terms of dps, the riot shotgun is objectively better but the hunting shotgun is just so much more fun to use. It FEELS better

Can you do fallout 3 as a communist. You can only use chinese pistol , assault rifle and sword. You can only use Chinese stealth armour.

Can you beat Fallout:New Vegas as Dr.Klein? You have to use all of the Dr.Klein named items in OWB and spec mostly into science.

In one of my playthroughs, Coinshot is the ONLY ammo I use for Big Boomer, it is stupid powerful and a ton of fun.

21:14: Holy crap, that soldier is like "Welp, if I'm gonna die, might as well do a quick breakdance!"

Have you ever considered a run where you can only use items you picked up off the ground? Meaning you can't loot or buy gear, only use what you can pick up without entering a loot menu in order to get it. There is a SURPRISING number of weapons, ammo, and armor you can pick up through the game for such a run. Depending on how you wanna stretch it, you can count weapons that enemies drop from their hands when you kill/disarm them for the challenge, too.

Joshua: You call shooting a coin a martial art? Courier: Shing! Sparkle Sparkle! (Can you beat the Outer Worlds as Teddy Roosevelt?)

Kudos to Nerbit for always finding a way to make even the most mundane challenge fun and entertaining to watch

Coin Shot is just really funny to use when you're NCR allegiance. You give the Legion a refund on the bullets they spend on you.

God, the hunting shotgun *chick chick* pump is the most satisfying thing ever in FNV

Actually, coinshot is a great way to go to the stripclub on a budget

Seeing you go a shotgun build was very interesting, as I’ve said before I’ve never played Fallout but your videos are so damn good. When you said “Super Slam, but for shotguns,” I knew it was gunna be a hilarious play through.

Coinshot is unironicaly the best reason to become vilified by the legion as every legionary will carry some coins and they absolutely gore anything that bleeds

I *THINK* the coin-shot also has a unique projectile model you can see if you get that one VATS crit-camera, which is a neato touch if so.

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the Chosen One? You must only use guns that were available in Fallout 2, get the Enclave power armor (and kill the remnants immediately if you want lmao), do all the Jacobstown related quests (bc of Marcus), recruit Boone (his voice actor is the same as Myron from F2) and side with the NCR

I love the Hunting Shotgun and the Dinnerbell, probably my favorite shotguns in NV.

* At the battle of hoover dam * " Hey bro I'm out of bullets, mind giving me your wallet? "

I misread that as "Can you Beat FONV with only One shot?" and I thought "Well you'd better make that shot count."

Has waiting and watching a Nerbit video every friday become a part of their routine for anybody else?

I think a better challenge might be the bean bag rounds. Doesn't it only do fatigue damage? Also... day a lot asking for an exploding pants only run in any fallout

I wouldve just bought 100 chips at a time dropped the 1 got my denari, rinse and repeat until out of money picking up the singles when done instead of making many little piles. Love your content keep up the good work

Great video, Salad boy pays mad good once you start getting the legion drop boxes at "liked". Plus the lucky shades, salad boy's the man

Thought this was an Ultrakill themed run at first because in my years playing this game I had no idea these rounds were a thing

I'm glad you did this run. A couple of videos back I suggested you try a run where you can beat Fallout with only money. With my idea you could have picked 3, NV, or 4 with NV only using the coin shot in NV or only using pre=-war money as ammunition in the Rock-It Launcher / Junk Jet for 3 and 4. You didn't exactly go with the money theme as I was hoping but you did go through the run with the weapon I was thinking so I'm happy! Great Video!

The moment i heard Armstrong i lost it. Watching your uncut play through of Rising made me buy because of how fun it looked and damn is it fun. Im only at Monsoon but ive loved every second of it.

"It cost 96 legion denarius to fire this weapon, for 12 shots"

I love getting back from a long run to see a new nerbit video

Well, while we're on the topic of crafting, remember that run where you used only crafted weapons? What if it was only crafted items overall, only healing with food/powder/etc. only using crafted weapons again (maybe different ones to mix it up) and if you want armor, you have to go for the gecko-backed armors. You can buy/loot/harvest materials, but you can't use the ingredients themselves. And maybe no auto-inject stims as an extra little challenge, since those would be rather easy to amass.

12:50 "When I get to the disgruntled role of toilet paper. ." this line had me dying

On an unpatched version of the game you could do the casino caps glitch where you grind up 35500 caps then turn them all into casino chips, drop said chips on the ground and then the number of chips are in the negatives, turn the chips back into the casino teller and suddenly you're able to do turn them in infinitely, which means you could hypothetically have millions of Legion Denarius

Always look forward to 5pm on a friday for these videos

You have played as the heroic Mechanist and now it’s time to embrace your evil side and find out: Can you beat Fallout 3 as the AntAgonizer?

This dude is funny as hell, why have I never seen these videos.

“And Stay Back” makes me laugh everytime I use it, all I can think of when using it is the old Hana Barbara cartoons where someone shoots a shotgun and they go flying. ACME definitely comes to mind, Loony Toons or maybe even some old Donald Duck cartoons if you go back far enough are what I’m thinking of. It’s just such a gag type of attack y’know? Something a cartoon character does, but when placed in such a serious environment like FNV, the contrast just makes it really funny to me. It’s not too much where it’s immersion/tension breaking, but it’s enough to get a chuckle out of me.

Day made. Thank you for all the amazing content

I may not have thought of this being a video I'd watch today, but I'm interested in this. Coin Shot makes me think of one of the new characters in Mortal Kombat who can ricochet a bullet off a coin to kill the opponent... But, this should be entertaining and informative as always! 😁

Excellent editing gags in this one. The monkey paw bit had me chortling.

I love you and nerbit. I’m so glad you’re making these awesome fallout challenges

Just seems like a watered down and balanced version of Money Shot from BL2

Idea for a Fallout 4 Challenge Run: "Laser Golf" Premise - In Fallout 4, there is a Legendary weapon effect called "Endless" which basically means your weapon has no maximum magazine size. This typically just means no reloading is necessary, but it has an unusual interaction with a few weapons that use non-standard magazine formats. One of these interactions is the Laser Musket. The Laser Musket must be manually loaded for each shot in the magazine, but the main feature that interacts strangely with Endless is the way it fires: every round loaded into the Musket is fired in a single shot, with the damage of the shot scaling based on the number of rounds loaded. Due to the way Endless works, this allows and Endless Laser Musket to be loaded repeatedly ad infinitum as opposed to stopping at its magazine capacity (well, it can be loaded until you have loaded every round into it anyhow), allowing for a single shot to deal up to an arbitrarily massive amount of damage. The run: somehow, some way, (mods, commands, whatever) start the game with an un-upgraded Endless Laser Musket and 1,000-5,000 rounds for it (a large but finite number). You must complete the main story of Fallout 4 (any ending), using only the Laser Musket, and you must kill every enemy you encounter (stealth is allowed but only for sneak attacks). You may only deal damage by firing the Laser Musket - no companions, grenades/mines, bashing, etc. Environmental hazards such as other enemies, hacked turrets, or environmental traps are permitted, as well as upgrading the Laser Musket and perks as long as they don't deal damage separately from the musket. You may bring companions as pack mules and cheerleaders, as long as they are somehow unable to deal damage, such as unarmed robots or modded companions (yes they can tank too, just no damage). At the end of the run, count how many rounds you consumed - lowest score wins. Speedrun optional. Caveats and edge cases: environmental allies like those present during various story quests are obviously inevitable and permitted. Grenades and other weapons are not permitted, but they may be used to complete quest steps ONLY if those steps do not require you to kill an enemy with the weapon in question (such as testing the artillery a trhe Castle). As with the weapon exception, companions required for specific steps in the main quest are also of course permitted, but must be dismissed asap. Settlement turrets and traps are also NOT permitted. The ban on non-musket weapons includes mines and grenades that summon allies (including vertibirds), affect enemy AI such as berserk effects, the Minute Men Flare Gun (except where a quest explicitly requires its use to progress so long as doing so does not deal damage to an enemy), power armor auras/sprint slams and ejected cores, "command enemy" perks (including both surrender and berserk effects - Ghoulish 3+ is also NOT permitted). Damage bonuses from chems, perks, and other passive effects ARE permitted, as long as the damage is dealt exclusively by Laser Musket shots.

"This one man bank..." Reminds me of this iconic line. "I'm gonna take you to the bank...The Blood Bank, General."

A Nerbit video just in time for my birthday? Yippeeee

As a Mistborn reader, this challenge run was extra gratifying for me to watch lol

I don't know exactly what it would be, but I'm CERTAIN that "Gambo: First Bet" has the potential to be another good gimmick run

3:45 Even with the knowledge of how lucrative this fun game can be, That honestly caught me off guard 😂

Resident evil movies reference was a lost opportunity xD. Nice video!

The power of Capitalism!

Always a good day when nerbit drops a vid

This is honestly one of the funniest vids you made, it sounds like someone slowly losing what sanity they had over the course of 22 minutes.

This video was a nice little surprise when I got home from work. Now ill have about 15 minutes to relax before I start crying for the rest of my night.

To be fair, a shotgun is basically a melee weapon, you might as well have your Superslam on it.

"...with Benny and the boys, but let's cool our jets" I see what you did there

Very strange how Vegas has so much Legion coin on stand-by in case some legionnaire strikes it rich at a casino and somehow doesn't realize gambling is outlawed by the Legion

'And Stay Back!' A perk that literally turns on the law of physics! 😂
