with the relevant perks and tactical application, the MF hyperbreeder alpha feels like having a gatling laser in your pocket with no ammo consumption

One correction is that companion suite was also supposed to lower companion damage by I believe 25% but honestly it sucks and it's the biggest downside of VNV, fuck companion suite it's awful. Companion nerve does work though, you can test it with damage numbers mod and see the difference. Characters like veronica will do insane DPS with max charisma and all of her upgrades, same with Raul and his cowboy perk or Cass with a hunting shotgun and her damage buff it's crazy.

Drugs invalidate heavy armor. Damage cannot be reduced by more than 80% and a combination of battle brew, med x, and slasher gives you more than enough DR. You can be just absurdly tanky while naked on any difficulty it's quite silly. Even on hardcore, med x and slasher don't weigh anything and battle brew is easy to craft. Sneak is broken because it's stealth in a Bethesda game but also because the sneak attack damage multiplier is several times higher on melee weapons than ranged. The highest damage single hit in the game isn't the fat man, it's a sneak attack from old glory with its vats special move.

It's not strictly broken, but using CRIT builds makes Hollow Point ammunition the best in the game thanks to the 1.75x DAM multiplier together with crits ignoring DT. Paciencia, the .308 rifle, firing HPs, has ~80% crit chance with every crit buff, and if it does proc it does more damage than even an ANTI-MATERIAL RIFLE CRIT. It's pretty amazing.

@joelfilho2625 this is somewhat inaccurate. Crits don't ignore DT, they just add their damage before DT and DR are calculated which is fairly unique. The crit damage on paciencia is simply so high that the DT multiplier of hollow points reduces the damage far less than the 1.75x multiplier increases it. Especially on a sneak attack critical. I am the nerd emoji don't mind me

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Unironically I actually think that NV is balanced very well, it’s just insanely easy to break. (Does that mean it’s not actually balanced then..? idk)

@@ClLunaits more balanced than any other fallout game honestly

@@LucyWest370 My experience with fallout 4 is very limited but compared to fallout 3, NV is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more balanced, end game fallout 3 there’s like… 3 viable weapons lol

@@ClLuna almost all endgame fallout 3 weapons are viable, just so viable the game stops being fun

Game is broken as much you want it to be. Choice is yours really

*giggles in laser rifles with 2 beams and basically 100% crit due to finesse and laser commander*

Fromsoft fanboys when the gameplay isn't hitting a dummy thicc demon with a broken broken hilt sword for 4 hours because it deals 2 damage and the boss has 900000001 hp: "booo this game is too easy!"

@@CallMeMimi27 Bro, Armored Core is their new thing. You should be joking about Epilepsy and autism regarding min-maxxing in robotics good enough to get you a job at Lockheed Martin lol

Not even fromsoft is safe from this. Ever heard of bleed builds?

imma be honest, fromsoft games have shit weapon balancing

I used to love Necromancer builds on Dialbo 2 for that reason. Before they nerfed the class, you could have an ungodly army of skeletons just beating everything around you into submission.

yeah it kind of sucked seeing RTgame use it so much in his playthrough

hotkeying mini nukes to a shotgun is allways fun

​@@gorderumsi6424 turn the mf hyper breeder alpha into an infinite regenerating mini-nuke machine gun

where would irony enter into this

Or putting Big Kid mini nukes on a Melee Weapon...

Lore (headcanon) reason: ultrajet in nv is myrons original recipe which needed an antidote to cure

Funniest thing was using that to sneak past Elijah with all of the gold, zero sneak skill, and no stealth boy. You just walk out the way that you entered the vault and you're almost to the elevator when he finally gets trapped. As it turns out, stealth really is overrated (you'll be entertained by your own laughter as you escape with zero effort).

@@destruction6124 fo real? Im gonna test that sometime

​@@destruction6124did something similar, but the long way around, with full ranks of grx, and the chemist perk. Add daytripper, and you live your life in SLO MO

Finally another turbo implant connoisseur

Implant grx?

All that cash goes straight to the commissary, I need that riot gear

Bethesda didn’t make new vegas

@user-yg6jg2mi4h no, but the vats system was in fallout 3, the game that precedes new vegas and is the foundation new vegas was built on. I don't think I would say "the creators of new vegas didn't do many things right"

That's awesome

Ikr, I love it when devs rewards you for completing the game by giving you op weapons. If you don't like them then don't use them 😭

Unless it's a game made by Bethesda. Seriously people complained about how you can get the best Power Armor and weapons early in Fallout 3 if you do Operation Anchorage right after leaving Vault 101. But no ones complains that shotgun builds in New Vegas are stupidly OP.

@@hermos3602 meh who cares if it's in DLC it's not exactly meant to be the first thing you do. Fallout 4 on the other hand is stupid giving you a minigun and power armour 5 minutes in to kill a deathclaw because it defeats the purpose of the deathclaws being a terrifying difficult threat

@@lewisbirkett4428what’s even worse is they made all Miniguns in the game horrible past like level 5 just to make it balanced

I don't even use those and I still have power trips

Bro out here mastering the weirding way Atreides maxxing fr

They're lower damage individually but do incredible stuff and the prox detonation is amazing.

thank you so much, that made my night

In a realistic scenario, many of the most powerful weapons and armours in the game would be nightmarishly high-maintenance. So high, that the player would bleed money trying to keep them in working condition. Think about how many man-hours of maintenance it takes to keep a modern battle-tank in working order. A suit of Power Armour is an order of magnitude more complicated than that. And you're one person, stomping around a post-apocalypse where replacement parts for your priceless military relic are practically non-existent. There's a reason why only two factions in the Mojave have functional Power Armour, and neither can afford to lose it. In a realistic scenario, shooting someone would be very likely to destroy the valuable items and equipment they're carrying. Blasting someone apart with explosives, or burning them to ash, or melting them into goo, or even just riddling them with bullets or buckshot. All of these things would make looting dead enemies far less productive, because you would destroy so much in the process of killing them. In a realistic scenario, enemies would not rush to their deaths like lemmings. They would assess the situation, and judge whether they actually stand a chance at surviving, let alone winning a fight. They wouldn't mindlessly rush a guy with a gun, when all they had was a pool cue. And if they got hurt, or saw a buddy get hurt or killed, their confidence in victory would tank *fast.* They wouldn't even need to be injured to lose confidence. Suppressing fire - shooting near or around a target - could be enough to break their will and force a retreat. During World War 2, an estimated 45,000 rounds of ammunition were spent per soldier killed. That's how much suppressing fire was employed. In a realistic scenario, the player's ability to profit from combat would be vastly lower. Players would be spending more ammo while killing fewer enemies; those enemies would be dropping less loot; and all the best equipment in the game would be massive money-sinks. But that doesn't happen, because New Vegas is *not* realistic.

Thankfully I have a mod that lets you have Rex and ED-E simultaneously (Charisma alters Companion limit).

I agree, NV is my favorite game of all time and I wouldn’t change anything about it, still doesn’t mean I can’t poke fun though ;)

lol gotem

Load .50 cal explosive rounds into a shotgun. It shoots 6 explosive projectiles per shot and will one shot anything.

Yeah the AP regen also helps somewhat offset some of the downsides of rad poisoning.

i think the only mods he's using is the mod to take the orange filter out of the game and maybe NMC's texture pack, though the last one i can't immediately tell just from glancing at it.

Looks like Nevada skies or another weather mod.

The big ones are Desert Natural Weathers, DN Weathers Redux, NV Energy Visuals Plus 2, Lumen, Lumen 2.0, SILO, Simply Shade and High Resolution Bloom. Hope this helps! ^^
