It' insane how there are so many different ways to play Fallout: New Vegas. I've been binging all Can you beat videos from all of you and I'm still certain that you're far from running out of ideas.
This was a joy to watch mate, the video was put together wonderfully. Feels professional compared to most other youtube channels that make challenge videos, not that I don't enjoy them all the same.
Let's be honest here. The most impressive part of this run was having 9 luck and still somehow losing money at the casinos. I honestly didn't know that was possible. Well played Jabo.
@@gladyspenaloza7722 really? Slots is how I cheat the casino win limit. Say the limit is 10K. I'll play blackjack until I have a winnings total of around 9,700. Pop a quick save and go play slots until you hit a jackpot worth 3K+ before losing more than 700. If I get to 9000 without hitting a big jackpot, I'll reload that save. Cool way to get the casinos for a few thousand more caps each
The mfc cluster grenades are devastatingly strong. Easily one shots a Sentry Bot and is one of my favorite throwables. To be fair, its basically the mfc Grenade but you throw like 8 of them at once.
While doing a house playthrough, I killed the Legate (with bombs) and then tossed like 75 MFC Clusters by the gate Oliver enters through. The General and his crew walk in but since it’s scripted it didn’t set them off. As soon as Oliver was done talking, all 450 or so MFC grenades went off at once. My computer nearly died too, and when it finally stopped processing explosions Oliver and the Ranger Vets were just gone. Nowhere to be seen. I like to imagine that they sailed back to California Didn’t work with Yes Man, the Securitrons set them off early.
I kept expecting him to turn on Caesar and take the Mohave for himself, would've suited an unhinged bomb toating maniac imo. I wouldn't imagine that a character like that would bow to a bunch of guys with sticks.
I think he should have just the retrivable throwables mod. I don't count that as cheating cause the biggest issue becomes getting the stuff in the first place
I remember watching the VOD during the Honest Hearts section, funniest part had to have been when one of the White legs, near the Red Gate, just snatched up the Survivalist Rifle and proceeded to bully Jabo, who at this point had close to non throwables.
@@House0Brick Consider not killing the Boomers, they have a vendor a lot of people don't even know exists in the building across from Loyal's workshop. I don't know how many times I played through the game before I made good use of the grenade machingun (spoiler alert, it wrecks motherfuckers.)
There are two things that make this run possible without Mad Bomber. The Boomers offer a really good stock of explosives, their storage has a bunch available. Also by going legion you doomed the throwing melee weapon part of the run. The best source of throwing spears is legionnaires. You could have farmed a bunch before getting the chip and then gone that run anyway, really. VATS with grenades is very helpful because it locks the target of the grenade in place, making it very likely for them to take point blank damage. Finally, you need sneak for throwing weapons
It is frustrating that you can’t buy Legion specific weapons from them; throwing spears, knives, anti venom and poisons, things that help them fight. It’s so lame
I always feel confuse that some player thought the strip robotguard will took away 2000 caps. The guard actually is just take a peek at player's "wallet" to be sure you are rich enough to gamble, not let any hobo sneak in.
One thing F:NV needed was a way to craft (melee) throwing weapons out of scrap metal or miscellaneous items at a workbench. If it's a balancing issue, then make it 'cost' a perk, like 'Mad Bomber' or 'Hand Loader/Vigilant Recycler'
@@smitegod2577 Sadly not. The _craftable_ Cosmic Knife Spears are the non-throwing variety you make by actually combining a throwing spear with more cosmic knives, making a 2-handed melee weapon
Agreed. The throwable "melee" weapons always felt like a really undercooked and borderline useless part of the otherwise amazing weapon sandbox. Surely someone has made a mod to flesh out this category of weapon.
Jabo runs across the desert, hassles a robot, commits a war crime, walks near a man, becomes more convincing to others because of it, hassles another vendor, throwing knifes 3 bottles, and then pins an old man’s head to a wall with a spear. Reward: 2 Sticks of Dynamite
Literally watched so many of these challenge vids (and love them everytime) and this was the first NV run (or video I've seen in general) to point out the just fucking leg it strat to get into the strip so kudos for actually showing me smth new
Loved at the end of the run that Jabo streamed where he almost pooped the bed fighting General Oliver when he ran out of healing items, and had to gorge himself on water and fight like a rat to win.
Incredibly interesting run, never even heard of mfc grenades. You should do more of the DLCs, Dead Money might be chalked but OWB would be cool I think.
Kinda disappointed that you went to Zion and didn't get the desert ranger armour, it's actually the best medium armour that you don't have to go to lonesome road to get
@SkullpunkArt it's in a cave in the northern part of the map. If I remember correctly it's right near the sorrows camp but I could be wrong on it The Armour is basically ranger Armour but it's factionless
Your first problem was not using stealth all the time; each throwing knife is worth much more when it's taking out an enemy with a single knife, even more so when you're using spear or tomahawks. :P
Just FYI, you can complete the tutorial simply by knocking the bottles off the fence, they dont have to be shot off. Punching them off works just as well, and while I've ever tried it with throwables, I have with grenade launcher (thanks NV Randomizer) and it did work. You just have to knock 3 bottles off the fence to complete the first step of Sunny's quest.
A tomahawk created out of a pipe and some blades is the most metal thing I’ve seen all day. Can’t believe I never looked at those in my hundreds of hours of playtime.
I remember watching the life stream of this it was really great, jabo and chat trying to figure out how the run wouldn´t die and where to get throwing weapons, it was great fun, everyone should check out the stream over at twitch
I havent played fnv for a while but ive done damn near every playthrough you can think of on xbox 360 (no mods ever) mostly cuz i had the thick ass book for the game and i tried every build and wanted to get every single ending. Throwing weapons only (NOT counting explosives) was fun to me. Took a while to get use it tho.
I've been watching a whole bunch of yours and Nerbit's Fallout videos recently. I really need to play New Vegas. I have a couple hundred hours in Fallout 4. I needa go back in time a lil to New Vegas, your videos just make it look so fun and a great game!
I love these kind of challenges, and to see you do one is awesome, just love your commentary anyway, great video as always! Early Congrats on 50k subs!
This sounds like a really fun playthrough You craft a ton of MFC grenades, pair it up with the cannibal perk so you never run out of health and also sell all of the loot you are not using to fund all your chem reserves You could also try to kill all of the powder ganger camps at the start of the game to get more dynamite, maybe even kill everyone at the correctional facility
For the early game there’s an encounter between traveling merchants and legion. Usually the legion soldiers carry throwing spears and they almost always lose.
I got deja vu. I did most things in the same way in my legion playthrough, I even killed many of the npcs you did, and used melee/throwables most of the time, to fit in with my fellow legionaries. The only major difference was that I spared benny after sleeping with him and then crucified him at the fort lol.
I love challenge runs like this cause more often than not the anwser is 'yes'. Cause New Vegas has no real fail-states. Long as you're good enough (or in this case aim well enough and hope that the game doesn't screw you over with not counting hits) you win.
The fuckin guy man... My challenge is to not die of starvation Plan 1- lick windows for moisture Plan 2- stay really really still for a long time Plan 3- do some research on my challenge and... Oh it's... It's actually that easy
Ya got a sub from me on the "Fun Facts with Jabo" section alone, great work dude! That was really cool! I've been a fan of the franchise since high school when FO3 dropped & I've never looked back.
When I saw "Big Arms?" as the character's name, I was reminded of a quest in Runescape called "My Arm's Big Adventure" in which a troll named "My Arm" (As for some ungodly reason trolls in Runescape are named after the first thing they try to eat) learns to be a farmer on a mountain growing what are basically super potatoes. (I haven't played this quest in ages so I have no idea how accurate I was with the summary but it should be somewhat close.)
Another easy way into the strip, when the securitron is rolling toward you, just back away far enough that the others won’t see you, kill it, and take the key and just waltz in. The others will attack you but not once you’re inside
I really like thrown weapons in New Vegas for ranged stealth kills while focusing on Melee / Unarmed, so I knew it was a mistake to go Legion if you wanted their throwing spears. Best source is looting Legion corpses. That said, I had no idea about the MFC grenades.
That's so funny because i tried my hand at this challenge, before my only controller broke, all while having both pairs of hit squads after me lol Mad Bomber and the Brotherhood's tribute crate were my best friend. Anyway great work on the video!
2 years late but small tip with the monorail bypass. If you waltz in with NCR armour on you can get into the strip with no one firing at you at all. There’s a dead NCR trooper out near camp mccarran you can loot. And if you can’t find him it’s pretty easy to bait fiends into gunfights with the NCR. Sometimes resulting in a trooper death.
I've done strange runs in this game. I always go with like 3 INT max because that means the character will be a specialized character instead of having points in everything. Makes the game interesting. Creating a trap/bomb character is super fun
My initial thought was, god save you from CTDs. But the thrown crashes mostly happen when people throw spears at you, with the worst place being Dead Money.
I sorta saw the lack of spears comming when you said you were going Legion, if you had gone NCR instead the constant Legion attacks would have gotten you a steady supply from looting the corpses.
Nice video as usual, Jabo :D Just wanted to say that you can even beat FO:NV only using the 10 throwing spears that you get thanks to the Tribal Pack from the Courier's Stash. Kind regards 😊
For an even bigger challenge, try completing all the DLCs in this way! Dead Money especially would be insanely hard as you would have to do a lot of crafting.
This video really points out how underutilized thrown weapons were. I really wish someone with a bigger brain than me would make a mod that simply increases the amount of them in boxes and on bodies. Retrievable Throwables is great, and so is the old (defunct?) mod Skirmisher, but if someone made them as viable and common as other weapon types the game would get so much more dynamic. Another supplemental mod is the grenade hotkey mod which also hotkeys other throwables
4:00 you can even ignore the guard aggro if you wait till the guard shift change and approach during the brief period of the day / night cycle where the door to the monorail is unguarded. There are day and night guards, so there are two of these shift changes each in game day.
4:30 but when you sneak thru black mountain you come across a dead ncr soldier whose outfit you can take an wear to access the monorail without being shot
the MFC cluster grenade is a huge gamble if you toss many of them consecutively cause it might cause some of them to land near you, also they are proximity based unlike the normal MFC grenade but the damage they do is amazing
God I love MFC clusterbombs. My last playthrough years and years ago used all crafting skills, explosives and fist weapons. I wanted to see how useful survival could be but I ended up just dropping satchel charges everywhere, I even made a couple of nuke mines. There are also some sweet chems that I doubt many people have ever played around with. Like Rushing Water that gives a huge boost to melee attack speed, that one was a life saver against some of the high end deathclaws in the DLCs

Funnily enough, you would of gotten a good supply of throwing spears by killing Legion instead of joining them.
Not to mention a very specific Challenge in-game: "Even A God-King Can Bleed".
True. But legion is to tanky.
Thats exactly what i was thinking, siding with yes man wouldve been the better idea

Most fun I've had on nv was melee and explosive build.mfc clusters were probably my favourite
I think all these "Can you beat New Vegas with just" type challenges should treat the speech skill as a weapon, it's that overpowered.
Speech is for nerds
That's my first playthrough basically. Trying my best to mix guns and speech to have the Blondie from the Dollars Trilogy build.
Speech, repair, and lock pick are always maxed out for me. I feel naked without them
The speech skill is so strong, that it is its own type of weapon. They do treat it as a sort of weapon. So, it's excluded from these challenge runs.

That's super easy. All you'll need to do is to spec into melee/energy weapon or explosives.
I tried a pyro build and they're actually pretty damn powerful. Super-Heated Saturnite fist and Cleansing Flame put in work with the Pyromaniac Perk.

4:00 you can even ignore the guard aggro if you wait till the guard shift change and approach during the brief period of the day / night cycle where the door to the monorail is unguarded. There are day and night guards, so there are two of these shift changes each in game day.
Wake up honey new Jabo just dropped
4:30 but when you sneak thru black mountain you come across a dead ncr soldier whose outfit you can take an wear to access the monorail without being shot
W vid L for not taking Loose cannon trait
Mad Bomber is a ridiculous perk, and iirc there's a grenade you can craft that tosses a bunch of tiny grenades. Absolute room clearer,.
damn, that easy pete kill actually made me feel bad. He was just minding his bussiness
the MFC cluster grenade is a huge gamble if you toss many of them consecutively cause it might cause some of them to land near you, also they are proximity based unlike the normal MFC grenade but the damage they do is amazing

Tip: You can use poison on your throwables, like spears and knives.
God I love MFC clusterbombs. My last playthrough years and years ago used all crafting skills, explosives and fist weapons. I wanted to see how useful survival could be but I ended up just dropping satchel charges everywhere, I even made a couple of nuke mines.
There are also some sweet chems that I doubt many people have ever played around with. Like Rushing Water that gives a huge boost to melee attack speed, that one was a life saver against some of the high end deathclaws in the DLCs
Look how much your channel has grown
This challenge becomes trivial (but also still kinda challenging) if you use the ammo hotkey glitch with the Holy Frag Grenade. Infinite nukes
