  • Fallout New Vegas has 79 unique weapons that can be obtained across all the DLCs. These weapons typically have different stats, have unique affects, different models, and a different name. Today, we'll be going over every unique weapon that exists in Fallout: New Vegas and explaining not only how they differ from their standard counterpart, but also where they get their unique name from. Buckle up, folks, it's a long one.

    That Gun not being in Fallout 4 is a damned shame. It could have been a legendary weapon that does 30% more damage to synths. My number is a bit arbitrary, but it should be a great weapon to have, but not overpowered either.

      Best 2hander anyway. Chance’s knife with Grunt+Cowboy is higher dps, and if you mod grunt to work on dlc weapons you got bloodnap that is higher than chance. Oh Baby!’s primary advantage is perk economy, as it’s much stronger without those two perks

    Old glory isn't a flagpole, it's actually the staff of the Congress. Long ago it was an actual weapon used against unruly assembly members, but these days it mostly functions as a talking stick on the rare occasion they actually use it. Also, weapons with randoms women's names like Annabelle and Esther are references to the US military tradition of giving your weapon a woman's name (or in more recent times, a man's if you're gay or a female.) The tradition goes back further than our country's history into obscurity and is most prevalent in the Marines and army

      I think he meant that originaly this weapon was much weaker and was called a flagpole back when Ulysses was supposed to be a companion in the base game but sadly that idea was cut. However if this idea had made it into the game the Lonesome Road dlc probobly wouldn't exist.
      Interesting fact though.

    The holorifle is technically a heavily modified grenade rifle.
    That ‘useless’ durability upgrade, when applied at max durability, actually makes it so much more durable it’s actually Unbreakable
    The Q-35 also has a detail you didn’t mention. It consumes less ammo per shot than the standard plasma rifle, meaning it’s lower base damage is also offset by its ammo efficiency

    • @Mr.TamOShanter-em6jm
      @Mr.TamOShanter-em6jm 27 днів тому +2

      Q-35 is always my go-to workhorse rifle. Another thing to mention is the Q-35 also fires much faster projectiles. This, combined with the ammo efficiency, makes it much more friendly to down-the-sight shooting. The faster projectile means you don't have to lead your target like with a normal plas and the ammo efficiency means it's less of a big deal to miss sometimes.

    A little extra detail about the engravings on the Survivalists Carbine, the fact that it is chambered in 12.7mm (which is .50cal) and is called a "Checkpoint Carbine" suggests it was used mainly to stop vehicles at border crossings/checkpoints, similar to how .50cal rifles are used in the real world.

    I remember playing Day Z with a dude back in the day (like 2010 oof) He always called the Shotgun the "Dinner Bell" because you shoot it once and all the zombies in the area come around for a meal. I always assumed it was from something but I never looked into it, especially because the FNV shotgun had the same name. Hopefully that can maybe help your search.

    Here's the thing about Fallout. I hate this whole "I want better graphics" type gaming now. The beautiful gritty feel FNV graphics gave us was the best. Example of FNV deathclaws vs F4 deathclaws. FNV deathclaws gave me jumpscares. F4 Deathclaws looked too polished. It would be nice to have a Fallout New Vegas 2 with the option of old and new graphics. This game can't be beat imo. Great video btw

    • @MintyLime703
      @MintyLime703 Місяць тому

      People have been saying this well before New Vegas came out, let alone today. They were even arguing the same thing comparing Fallout 3 to the original games claiming that the graphics had too much focus put on them. Graphical fidelity isn't mutually exclusive with other qualities found in a game. Especially with AAA games considering larger budgets and huge dev teams. Don't forget that these games were considered good looking at one point. Off the top of my head the Battlefield games are another one that people used to say they focused too much on the graphics. That was back when we thought games couldn't look much better than BF4; it was new and so took a lot of player focus. Today you can easily tell it came out in 2013 as it doesn't look as good as we all thought and is pretty easy to run on a modern PC. It's the gameplay that players have stuck around for and it's unhindered by all those who wanted the cutting edge in graphics back in 2013.
      For some reason people act like AAA dev teams don't have specialized workers organized into departments and are instead this equally skilled monolithic group that can only work on one thing at a time. It doesn't help that so many AAA games today release in a poor state but still usually look good. It has a lot more to do with the business side of things and stuff like micro transactions than it does resource management. That really only comes into play with indie games, or at least it should.

    39:00 Or maybe the Red Ryder BB gun is a reference to the actual Red Ryder Carbine BB gun, since the Red Ryder BB gun came out almost 50years before A Christmas Story was released. And because basically every kid from the 1940s to 2000s will never forget seeing that long thin box in wrapping paper under the Christmas tree.
    As a kid most of my best friends were girls and they also got a Red Ryder, no doll houses for those badass little girls, 20+ years later most of them are either Soldiers or Marines now and still my closest friends.
    There's a reason why A Christmas Story used the Red Ryder, I don't know anyone who didn't get a Red Ryder BB gun and yes, everyone who had a Red Ryder at least once got hit with a ricocheting BB, usually to the face or neck but the Red Ryder shot BB's at a very low velocity so it wasn't dangerous is just stung. Hell, we used run around the woods playing war shooting each other but we always wore safety glasses.
