This is, without a doubt, my favourite Fallout information channel on UA-cam. There's plenty of lore videos, but few that focus on raw stats and gameplay in such an easy-to-watch format without ever being boring. Keep it up dude! :)
The Courier's Mile is the section of The Divide that Blood-nap is in. Even the game acknowledges that the area is ridiculously dangerous, since it awards you with a challenge just for going into the zone. Chance's Knife is a must have for any melee build character I run. Just watch out for the cazadores in the area.
Shishkebabs are very common in Honest Hearts at mid to high levels. I remember getting a lot of them with some anti-material rifles at a high level run at Zion.
Getting knock knock is actually super easy, you just can’t kill box cars in Nipton. If you kill him, it fails the quest and the guy who has the keys to the fire station and police station and search light disappears. You can roll into searchlight, kill the guy, take the keys, and knock knock is yours.
Machete gladius is good to sell cus u can get lot of it in nelson and cottomwood cove and its worth 1k caps each (at max health) and i can repair them with regular machete without jury rigging
Katana is fun because the upgrades feel like you are improving your weapon, which is something a lot of melee build don't get. You get your weapon and that's it lol
I would love to see you do a Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 version of these. Some dude is already beginning a F4 version rip off of this and I’d like to see you jump the gun and get to them all first
Love your videos and your ranking are usually very accurate. Only remark i might have is in ur ranking if you will put a weapon closer to a B+ or A- for example it is better to put it closer to the letter B on the list so we know in its own category it is higher than the rest of its respective category.
Great series! I think it bears mentioning, the knife spears mauler special attack seems to rag doll knock down many enemies into a near stun lock state, which really adds to their usefulness.
@@ReapeeRon True! I find the spears to really shine vs ghost people with the limited gear in Dead Money, coupled with the built in bonus damage to their limbs. Helps to make some tough as nails foes go down so much easier
I recently got a thermic lance early, after fighting the legion in nipton. And because of this video i gave it a chance. And it really lived up to that ranking! It does have long reach, and is very easy to use and abuse.
My favorite is the shishkebab, because I remember crafting a lot of them in Fallout 3. What's really fun is to give a shishkebab to a companion to light enemies on fire for you, so they are easier to see and shoot at night time.
Apparently they're rarely used outside of DLC but some mobs around Freeside and Fiends territory can spawn with them. To be fair though I don't think I've ever used a hatchet in the 10 years
Small semantic note: The Protonic Inversal Axe isnt unique. It has 2 spawn locations. Held by a lobotomite in The Cuckoos Nest location in the Big MT where you find the toasters personality and in the VR room of the x13 stealth suit facility behind a hard locked door. The axe was jammed into whatever was powering the vr simulation with a note that says "I hate the vr simulation." So yeah. 2 locations. If I had a nickel for every kinda unique old world blues weapon id have like... 2... 3... 4... I think 4 nickels. Maybe the steriliser glove idk.
This is the moment when Gehenna became Guyana Also the Blood-Nap is in the Courier's mile Also the chainsaw is my favourite partly because of DBD and the Texas Chainsaw series Also Also Also
Personally, I'd put Knock-Knock in S tier, way above the chainsaw; especially if it's on a Heavy Handed melee build. It's weight to DPS ratio is phenomenal, and it makes such good use of the Super Slam perk.
22:50 The weapon's name is pronounced guh-HEN-nuh (or rarely juh-HEN-nuh). It weirded me out when you called it Guyana. I mean, that is where Jim Jones and his psychos killed Leo Ryan and then themselves, but I'm not sure if that puts it on the same level as one of the original Hebrew words for ultimate suffering.
I can duplicate Benny in the casino by meeting him alone in bar then after talking I let him get up and head towards door but neat him out then turn around and go back in ,he will be at bar,I can do dialog over again and again or just Hidden kill him and take all his stuff. He will still be at the fort with all his stuff even though I took everything already already.
If I remember correctly, the difference is that with a blunt weapon, you can't act covertly. With the help of a bladed weapon, you can cut out the entire camp Hopeless Hope - no one will raise the alarm and the reputation of the NCR will also not suffer. Even if you use such a big weapon as the Blade of the West.
I find myself kind of annoyed with new vegas in that there are some key perks for melee or unarmed that should have a counter part along the other path. Slayer requires unarmed but applies to melee and unarmed, super slam requires melee but applies to both, piercing strike requires unarmed but benefits both. Would have been nice if there was some sort of either or option. Like if you have melee or unarmed you could get the perk. Having to level unarmed to 90 just to get the benefits for melee weapons feels like a scam.
Do all the weapons have the same range or are there some differences? I haven't really used them that much, by I think I noticed that the knives have quite considerable reach.
Some of these brings back memories for me. I miss Old World Blues. I cant play it. Not on my old PC or my new one. The game literally crashes every 2 minutes and idk why. Base game and all the other dlc's work fine, but OWB wont play for me and I have no mods installed. Also, is the thermic lance technically a bladed weapon? lol
BTW you do NOT have to cooperate with the raiders for chop chop I kill them but warning the game might bug so save for me it's usually fine (key's to the fire department is with the raider captain).
I have, it’s my base in my mod list. It really does a good job of reducing crashes so much so, with how I modded my New Vegas it rarely crashes. The biggest thing to remember is after you go through Viva New Vegas be very selective with what you add, but feasibly you don’t need to have anything else added. Either way I do recommend it.
Please re-upload these with a consistent high or low end within teirs. As in, higher end of a teir on the left or the right, and ordered among them. It seems like you do this some of the time, but switch between legt and right being higher or lower.
Well of course the switchblade is weaker, it’s smaller than the knife/kitchen knife, also they need to bring all these weapons back in fo5 if that ever happens
Loving these FNV videos. It’s truly incredible this game is living on 13yrs later.
Thanks, they are very fun to make.
14 now!
This is, without a doubt, my favourite Fallout information channel on UA-cam. There's plenty of lore videos, but few that focus on raw stats and gameplay in such an easy-to-watch format without ever being boring.
Keep it up dude! :)
Glad you like them!
@@ReapeeRonwhere is the super sledge
The Courier's Mile is the section of The Divide that Blood-nap is in. Even the game acknowledges that the area is ridiculously dangerous, since it awards you with a challenge just for going into the zone.
Chance's Knife is a must have for any melee build character I run. Just watch out for the cazadores in the area.
if we compare them to Skyrim weapons Chance's Knife would be on par with Mehrunes razor and blood nap is comparable to the blade of woe
Shishkebabs are very common in Honest Hearts at mid to high levels. I remember getting a lot of them with some anti-material rifles at a high level run at Zion.
Some Whitelegs will also drop riot shotguns if you like keeping everyone on the floor with the Stay Back perk.
Yeah but unfortunately after finishing the DLC the White-legs stop spawning :(
Personal favorite is Chance's Knife. Love the lore that comes from the All Roads graphic novel.
Yeah that is a cool little detail.
Getting knock knock is actually super easy, you just can’t kill box cars in Nipton. If you kill him, it fails the quest and the guy who has the keys to the fire station and police station and search light disappears. You can roll into searchlight, kill the guy, take the keys, and knock knock is yours.
Also radscorpion queen is super easy to cheese by going behind the desk
@@user-vx8br3vw4nhow dare you cheese our queen!!
Something about Figaro is just so fun to me. I know Chance’s Knife is objectively better but its so silly and fun
Timing for these set of videos is IMPECCABLE. Just literally revisted new vegas with mods the other week.
The proton axe falls into that sweet spot of amazing looks and fantastic utility. I love the OWB weapons but it has to be my favorite
The protonic inversal axe slays! I love the spin special move too.
Machete gladius is good to sell cus u can get lot of it in nelson and cottomwood cove and its worth 1k caps each (at max health) and i can repair them with regular machete without jury rigging
You can also get Liberator as a reward from Dead Sea upon completing We Are Legion
That is true.
Legion usually have the Thermic Lance during their hit squad attacks.
Did not know how good it was, usually Jury Rig repair it, and sell it for lots.
Man, melee is lowkey great in this game
Yeah it is very strong. New Vegas does a great job of making all the weapon types pretty strong.
6:40 I like how the "ok DPS" line is shown together with a scorpion blowing up into the air with all the limps flying off
13:59 "Cosmic knife superheated"
Flashback to the period of time when youtube was spammed with all those bad "1000C knife vs x" 😆
I killed 3 death claws at lvl 10. Wearing power armour using the straight razor. The perk that gives a chance to knock them down is useful
Katana is fun because the upgrades feel like you are improving your weapon, which is something a lot of melee build don't get. You get your weapon and that's it lol
Now I wanna do a Katana build and run thru the Wasteland like I'm Duncan MacLeod.
There can only be one!
Definitely a Yes Man guy, MacLeod.
I would love to see you do a Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 version of these. Some dude is already beginning a F4 version rip off of this and I’d like to see you jump the gun and get to them all first
I will probably be making those ones too.

iirc dead sea gives you the liberator if you clear out forlorn hope
lol doing a legion run
@@OhNoTheFace W
9:22 I like selling the Machete Gladius. Very good value to weight ratio. ⚔💰
That is very true, the value to weight ratio is pretty great!
Great series! I think it bears mentioning, the knife spears mauler special attack seems to rag doll knock down many enemies into a near stun lock state, which really adds to their usefulness.
Thanks, and yes that does help, but the fire axe also get the mauler special attack.

Chance's Knife is fun for solo-ing the NCRCF in 3 to 5 minutes.
I still play fallout new vegas and everyday I find a new fun thing
Broad machete, my beloved
I love that weapon for the early game.
My favorite is the shishkebab, because I remember crafting a lot of them in Fallout 3.
What's really fun is to give a shishkebab to a companion to light enemies on fire for you, so they are easier to see and shoot at night time.
I fucking *LOVE* the juggle at 20:36.
Just finish my first hundreds hours gameplay. Nice content. This series is helpful.
they should have added bows in the game as well as let you stab with the spear
I'm pretty sure you can mod the game to have those things.
There is a crossbow mod that is pretty cool.
After discovering your channel, Ive really loved your content! Keep it up!
Awesome, thank you!
i don't think i've ever seen a hatchet before 😭 idk how, i have hundreds and hundreds of hours in this game
Apparently they're rarely used outside of DLC but some mobs around Freeside and Fiends territory can spawn with them. To be fair though I don't think I've ever used a hatchet in the 10 years
Theres a straight razor in the game? 💀 Oh dawg its time to do a Sweeny Todd run
Don't forget to collect strange meat pies.
My laptop broke, I’ll be back to watch this video when I can play new Vegas again 👀🤙🏼

This is the moment when Gehenna became Guyana
Also the Blood-Nap is in the Courier's mile
Also the chainsaw is my favourite partly because of DBD and the Texas Chainsaw series
Also
Also
Also
Poisons Tier List! Please!
Made a stealth assassin character who is only allowed to use suppressed guns and knives, so this should help immensely
Very cool! Hope that this does help!
Get the katana and go ninja!
How can you go wrong with knock knock it's basically a post apocalyptic battleaxe
My favorite type of weapons
Best way to get Thermic Lance is Legion Assassins
And super sledges. Can repair both with pool cues using Jury Rigging for insane profit.
i am keen for my favorite weapon class, the fist weapon tier list. goddamn are they OP in this game
I rarely get Knock Knock because the Wheel of Fortune quest is always bugged.
Yeah it can be a bit of a pain.
Personally, I'd put Knock-Knock in S tier, way above the chainsaw; especially if it's on a Heavy Handed melee build. It's weight to DPS ratio is phenomenal, and it makes such good use of the Super Slam perk.
Chances knife is my favorite meele weapon of all.
It is very strong!
So which one is the best? Bloodnap I'm guessing
after the melees can we get a companion tier list !😅
When the melee build finds himself in a Cazador pit, the thermic Lance is his best friend
In honest hearts, a lot of the white legs have shishkebabs if you're mid level. Like, a lot. And they sell for a good amount too
Im surprised you didnt mention the mods for the katana as well from GRA
That is a good point because that make the weapon even better!

I ise the knife spear clean in dead money because of the mauler attack
That is true, and Mauler is pretty awesome!
blade of the west and blood nap are insane
Oh Baby! Is my all time fav
Wait, is there a mechanical difference between blunt and bladed weapons or is the choice to separate them is entirely arbitrary?
I’m sure he just did that to make the videos a decent length and not too long.
If I remember correctly, the difference is that with a blunt weapon, you can't act covertly. With the help of a bladed weapon, you can cut out the entire camp Hopeless Hope - no one will raise the alarm and the reputation of the NCR will also not suffer. Even if you use such a big weapon as the Blade of the West.
@@MrKommunarpretty sure you can still do stealth kills with blunt weapons
It's just for making the list less cluttered. They are also listed differently on the wiki and that is easier to read off of for me.
Ron’s back must hurt from carrying the community.
you missed one of the bumper swords.
I find myself kind of annoyed with new vegas in that there are some key perks for melee or unarmed that should have a counter part along the other path.
Slayer requires unarmed but applies to melee and unarmed, super slam requires melee but applies to both, piercing strike requires unarmed but benefits both.
Would have been nice if there was some sort of either or option. Like if you have melee or unarmed you could get the perk.
Having to level unarmed to 90 just to get the benefits for melee weapons feels like a scam.
I had no idea this game had hatchets
Yeah they are very rare.
Oh Baby- weapon beats them all. Works against all enemies.
The thermic lance does have a longer reach than the chainsaw
I feel lame just smacking ppl around with a lead pipe. Recently got a sword from a nightkin in the basement at REPCONN
Do all the weapons have the same range or are there some differences? I haven't really used them that much, by I think I noticed that the knives have quite considerable reach.
Any chance of covering armour & clothing?
I probably will, sometime soon.
Until this video, I didn't know that hatchet was a thing in fnv
Yeah it is a really rare weapon for some reason.
@@ReapeeRon now I can role-play lumberjack.

Also, is the thermic lance technically a bladed weapon? lol
Alot of the early weapons are completely useless considering u can get a fire axe as u leave good springs basically if u don't mind a few casidories
BTW you do NOT have to cooperate with the raiders for chop chop I kill them but warning the game might bug so save for me it's usually fine (key's to the fire department is with the raider captain).
I’m gonna be sad when this series finishes 😢
what about melee crit builds?
Those are good too!
Blade of the West. It's busted like a Stay Back riot shotgun.
The chainsaw has high hp? That thing breaks down fast! Still a lot 9f fun when using it though.
For knock knock just kill raiders 🤷
have you tried the Viva New Vegas modlist?
I have, it’s my base in my mod list. It really does a good job of reducing crashes so much so, with how I modded my New Vegas it rarely crashes. The biggest thing to remember is after you go through Viva New Vegas be very selective with what you add, but feasibly you don’t need to have anything else added. Either way I do recommend it.
It's not Buoy knife, it's *BOwie* knife.
No it actually is pronounced BOO-ey, it’s namesake Jim Bowie’s name is pronounced that way.
Confirmed, it is Boo-ee, not Bow-ee.
Well this has taught me I've been pronouncing "Bowie" incorrectly for the entirety of my life.
Me seeing the guns at the bottom of the screen- 🤔
Gehenna, that's my opinion
No knock knock in S?
I think you forgot driver nelphis golf club
blunt weapon, obviously

"Guy in a"
I just use whatever weapon I think fits my build and console command it into my inventory or plan accordingly and pack the right weapons for the job.
Well of course the switchblade is weaker, it’s smaller than the knife/kitchen knife, also they need to bring all these weapons back in fo5 if that ever happens
Re-upload as sharp or pointy
