God I LOVE New Vegas. Its my all time favorite game. Hands down.

The 12.7mm SMG is a blast to use once you get the silencer. A real hidden gem, because most people write it off because of sleepytyme, but its better than sleepytyme. Made me feel like a mix of a 40k Space Marine a Judge Dredd once I got all the upgrades. I dispenced high caliber wastlenad justice. It usually only took me 10-12 rounds to down a normal deathclaw, and 1 round for any human enemies with light armor. 5 for power armor. The only downside is the rarity of 12.7 ammo, but when each shot does that much damage, its easy to be conservative with even a SMG. Stop at the gun runners regularly, as they sell 250-300 rounds every few days. My favorite weapon, personally. Just fun to use.

The Laser Rifle is just dirty once you get focusing lenses and the beam splitter. Combine that thing with the meltdown perk. I've killed 5 deathlaws with ONE micro fusion cell. It just starts a chain reaction of death. The best part is that MFC is super common, and any energy weapon ammo can be easily converted to it. And you can get one at as low as level 4-5 easily if you want.

The GRA Chainsaw. What a monster. If you ever play a melee character, get this thing ASAP. The best melee weapon in the game. It does rediculous damage, at a continuous rate, and has massive durability. I'd guess that you could get one of these things to last you an entire play through without breaking.

Really though, those are probably the three best weapons in the game, for each of the three most common playstyles.

I've only got 43 but I'm saving! In Fallout 3 I've a thousand of the things. Always needing to be picked up, but never actually having any real value to me.. Except pencils were slight more useful to carry around! If you ever played a modded Fallout New Vegas and had the Willow Module they were definitely worth carrying around! I wish I could have played Fallout 3 in Hardcore mode. I loved attempting the Dunwich Building or the Capital Building/Museum of Natural History with no weapons and scavenging what I could find. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

Shooting railroad spikes with a crafted gun that would decapitate and impale a skull into the wall. Those adorable collectable bobble heads. And who could forget the intro song: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_intro Masterful. The only downside to it as a game was that the bobble heads and perks applied static % bonuses to your skills instead of the traditional Fallout Traits and Perks system allowing you to have 100% in everything. Beyond that the story, setting, dialogue, content, and all the rest was just so vastly different from FO 1 and 2 that I loved it. I liked being a Solar Powered Junkie hopped up on Psycho and Buff Out who ran around with a Shish-Kebab, Stab-Happy, and or a Laser Rifle.... Side bar.... I went to DC last year and was surprised by how much I already knew of the city just from Fallout. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

I did love the Lonesome Road variations of Combat Armour and the Rebreather. Which is what I wore. I chose Willow and a Baby Death Claw as my companions those mods were too good to pass up. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

I run guns, specifically 'that gun' or lucky and I tend to run around in sheriff's duster, sheriffs hat and sunglasses. Street justice Lol like the guy out of Justified. I can't exactly remember what my armour was called. But on PC it was a modded survivalist/gunslinger-esque Duster. In Vanilla I used to use a Re-breather and Riot Gear or something like that. All I remember was that I loved the Rebreather and Joshua Graham's armour. Strap and 45. Auto and an the B.A.R from Sierra Madre, with some Nuka Grenades and I was set. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

I figured if the game wasn't damn hard, especially in Hardcore mode with limited Ammo weights, etc I wasn't really playing a Fallout Game. Best times in Fallout are the pack ratting times. Me: Damn Cassidy's pack if full and he's carrying the 7.62mm rifle and the Pancor Jackhammer....... not to mention those rockets...... and I have the LSW, survival kit, Super Stimpacks, and the ammo...... but damn do I want that Avenger Minigun...... *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.
