Fun fact, the service rifle that Ranger Jackson gives you in Mojave Outpost is actually the 2nd service rifle that a new player can come across. A curious, exploring Courier might find a little unmarked coyote cave just a little south of the entrance to The Divide, up on a hill. In there is a fallen NCR trooper, you can get an early service rifle before you even tackle Primm, a dog tag, and free NCR faction armor. Also I love the Survivalist's Rifle because it's a bit of intentional character building. The Survivalist noticed that his gun was a little off, so he bent the sight to where it's actual barrel was shooting at.
@RedSntDK Жыл бұрын
While you're up by the Divide, it's worth going in there for a quick peak, because before you lock yourself into the story line, in the first bunker, you can a) find a good upgrade for ED-E (free weapon repair), but there's also a commissary terminal - but of course, most of the stuff you can buy there is pricey for a low level character. Anyway, the ED-E upgrade is a fine enough find, then you can just go back out afterwards - doesn't affect story in any way.

The cool thing about guns in New Vegas is they're built around the ammunition rather than the other way around. That means when you find a new gun you get a good idea of how it is going to handle based on what it loads. And early game rounds like 5.56mm don't drop off and become useless because they find new life in later game weapons that will most often fire them at a quicker rate. Adding in the different types of each round it just makes guns in NV so much more interesting than other games.

Always loved that Obsidian added real ammunition varieties, and a decent amount of them. Aside from military/etc sims you really don't see this. JHP's, JSP's, AP, API, Explosive, Match... It's just one of those things that put's New Vegas over the top (like on top of the rest of the 3D Fallout's) and FNV has a LOT of little things that give it character in this way. As someone that loves recreational shooting/hunting/etc IRL, it's just nice to see a game fairly accurately portray ammo variants (though different damage in different guns for the same round is a little video gamey, but I guess you could say they have different barrel lengths, so higher/lower velo's, though that's not really going to have too much effect on energy unless going from like a 5.5in .44mag to a 20in, for example. But I digress, lol) I almost always go for the Rat Slayer early, and because I have an 1895 Guide Gun that I adore, usually transition to the Brush Gun. Hard not to go for the Anti-Material Rifle at some point. I've never even tried energy weapons as I just love the gun system so much in this game. Great vid!

I've done a couple Energy builds, and as a gun guy myself they're still lots of fun. I run a third party mod called Weapons Mods Expanded, which adds extra attachments to every gun in the game (many are shared, like there's now a generic pistol suppressor mod rather than a separate one for the 10mm and .45, and it works on the Hi Power). Energy Weapons get cool integrated holo sights, while the RCW gets an ACOG, which combined with its high rate of fire makes it a very solid all around weapon, while the Holo Rifle from Dead Money becomes a solid sniper rifle. Energy calibers themselves aren't as common but with the Hand Loader equivalent, Vigilant Recycler you can make the hand-loaded cells significantly more easily. The AER-14 Prototype, the unique Laser Rifle, reaches a point very early on where it one-shots most foes due to criting on every shot. You should give it a go, it's a lot of fun.

Gonna get cowboy and grunt to boost Chance's Knife to extreme levels of damage.

Ratslayer is honestly very underrated imo by a majority of the FNV playerbase. 5.56, especially with good reloading, is really good at all except the really high end levels and with a good sneak crit rifle build, the Ratslayer is a fantastic stealth DMR, especially at night. It really gives you that roaming sniper feel and capability

Bozar is definitely underrated here. The thing about the Bozar is that it's kind of bad *until* you have Hand Loader. See...you never really want to use base 5.56 rounds with the Bozar. Once you are using Match rounds as your base round, and maintain a good stock of all of the different 5.56 ammo types, it is an all-in-one gun that has no trouble carrying you through the entire game, and unlike the marksman carbine, it is also really good when a big enemy is breathing on you. One of the big problems with the weapon's perception is that people see how you repair it and its description and expect it to be a combo of the LMG and a Hunting Rifle. It's actually more like a combo of the Marksman Carbine and 12.7 SMG. The shortcomings of that combination can be more than made up for by judiciously choosing your ammunition. My Bozar-only run was probably my easiest one-weapon-only run (I've done a lot of them...2nd place was the Silenced .22 Pistol...yes, really, but you have to stack every single crit and sneak perk in the game, and MUST also take the Trigger Discipline trait for the 22 run if you want to be doing well at midrange).

Ratslayer is S tier in my opinion because you can use it to do the jury rigging trick where you assassinate NCR troopers to repair their armor to full, then you use it to jury rig combat armor to make a profit. You will profit approximately 3k caps per repaired combat armor. Not to mention YOU can wear the repaired combat armor.

@JorjiCostava- Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the list; it's great work! How is the Medicine Stick lower than the Anti-Material Rifle? Anti-Material Rifle always struck me as a noob trap. It seems like people just look for the highest alpha damage weapon, then choose that. However, it's single shot; If you're going up against a lot of high tier enemies like the Deathclaws at Quarry Junction, or a pack of Cazadores, it's likely you'll get swarmed and killed. You see a lot of youtube videos of people rocking the Anti-Material Rifle where exactly that happens. However, with the cowboy perk, Medicine Stick does ~90% of the damage of the Anti-Material rifle, and has an eight round magazine. With hand loaded ammo, you're going to be one-shotting deathclaws with both weapons, except the former can gun down many more much more quickly. It has twice the DPS, and MUCH more burst with the initial 8 rounds before the reload. Medicine Stick is severely underrated compared to the Anti-Material Rifle.

It’s up to a matter of how these weapons feel to you as a player.

I agree. Personally i love the Medicine Stick with SWC rounds. Just blasts allmost everything in one shot. Anti-Material rifle is way too heavy and slow to fire as you said if against multiple opponents at once and the 8 strenght requirement is a lot. Medicine Stick also has really good sights and the cool factor of a lever-action it is so satisfying to shoot.

Just some thoughts on the Survivalist Rifle. One of the best guns, it really hits like a truck! With JHP rounds (Characteristics: x1.65 damage, x2 DT) or Hollow Point, it can still be effective since the weapon's base damage is high enough to render the DT multiplier irrelevant. The Survivalist Rifle goes from 48 damage to 79, allowing it to keep up with the big boys of .308--but it also benefits from Grunt, for a total of 99, third overall behind the AMR and Medicine Stick. Also, really good accuracy once you get the hang of it and good dps. Also, good condition and free (since you find it in Sion Valley)

I think Christine's CoS rifle is better than the Gobi rifle. Yes Gobi does more damage on a crit, but it's not by that much because of its lower general damage. With better criticals, the Gobi does 168 damage, and Christine's does 155. But Christine's has a significantly higher crit multiplier. On a full crit build, you can have a constant 28% crit chance and 5% from light touch (doesn't get boosted by crit multiplier). So with Christine's that's 75% crit chance, and Gobi sits at 61%. That means that Christine's does 62 damage 25% of the time, and 155 damage 75% of the time. Gobi does 48 damage 39% of the time, and 168 damage 61% of the time. With some quick maths it means that in 100 shots, Christine does consistently more dps, due to the higher crit chance. Add to it that it's a silenced weapon which means that you can take out entire squads of enemies without even being shot at. Which also means you will be dealing sneak crits more than once per encounter, and I think the only benefit Gobi has over Christine is that it will do slightly more damage per shot on crits on heavy armour enemies. But since they are both good against armoured enemies anyway, that really doesn't matter much. Anything hit in the head other than a death claw will die in one shot as long as it is a crit, and Christine's hits crits more often. Making it a better weapon for consistency and ease of use.
