We could use a RPG and AK47 in Lonesome Road. : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:42 pm

I've been thinking about how in the upcoming DLC it would make no sense for them not to include a Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher and a AK47(or AK74). The Chinese Assault Rifle was already in Fallout 3 so the model exists, simply re-model it and change it to a regular soviet AK47 or keep it chinese to show they were involved in the mojave somehow.

We need an RPG because missile launchers are simply too expensive and hard to find for low-level players. Make the RPG damage 3/4 the damage of the missile launcher plus a mid-level spread. This would keep it balanced.

An AK47 or 74 would allow us to finally have a fully automatic rifle with higher damage than the assault carbine, and lower spread than the light machine gun and automatic rifle. A damage of 20 compared to the Assault Carbines 13 would make it worth it. Also since in the Fallout universe the Soviet Union had good relations with the US it would make sense logically that one could find it in America. This works with the RPG as well.

EDIT: Possible reasons for Soviet/Chinese weapons being in the divide: Joint American and Soviet military exercise, Chinese agents in the divide, Russian/Chinese immigrant with schematics producing them there.

What do you guys think?

How did Soviet made weapons get into some place called "The Divide"?

You can justify an AK-47s appreance anywhere!
Not sure about the RPG though.

as much as i loved The Chinese Assault Rifle (it was the only weapon i used beside the double barle shotgun) but i see no way it would be there
there IS always a way for the makers to put it in but i dout it...

I'd prefer a return of the AK-112.

That gun proves the existence of an AK-47.

No real life weapons, please.

I'm sure there will be some unique weapons or some good pre-war era weapons in Lonesome Road.

It proves that it was replaced and continued to be phased out by newer models, and was never made in such large amounts as in the real world.

Not sure about the RPG though.

The RPG-7 is equally, if not moreso, dispersed as the AK-47. Mainly because it's easy to produce, didn't cost much, and a 5 year old can fire one. Add in the fact that these have in service since 1961, and have been used in every major conflict since the mid-1960s, starting from the Vietnam War to the present, a RPG's existince can also be explained in virtually every corner of the globe.

No.

H&K CAWS should be in instead.

Not sure if sarcastic, or just really dumb. :spotted owl:

I see what you're saying, but at the same time...there are a lot of weapons throughout the Fallout games that are "real life" weapons. Especially in Fallout New Vegas. Like the China Lake Grenade Launcher, the Assault Carbine, the .45 Submachine gun and its pistol counterpart to name a few...so what would be the big deal to include real world weapons?

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:06 am

The RPG launcher WAS in a previous Fallout, if only the semi-canon Fallout: Tactics; theoretically it could fit in. And the Assault Rifle/Chinese Assault Rifle could fit in...I'd rather see new stuff though.

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:55 pm

I wouldn't mind either of those. We could use a assault rifle that is accurate at longer ranges that can kill squishies. As for the RPG, i'd actually like that over the rocket launcher we have now.

id rather have sumfin like soviet combat armor then or more varients of medium armor in lonesome road with new perks for it cuz the assassain suit mark 2 is pretty amazing but it uses too much drugs XD

» Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:04 am

People, I just don't see it happening! :no:

» Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:10 am

Id like a Spectre, an M1 browning, this M-45 MEUSOC pistol, http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2009/12/31/m41a-pulse-rifle-from-aliens/ , http://humanistisles.weebly.com/weapons.html , a sterling submachine gun, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_trench_knife ,thats all I want with guns, I would like a new combat armor and type of power armor XD

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:24 pm

m1 browning *drools*

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 8:24 pm

I don't know if it could fit in. Anyway instead of "Recycling" an older assault rifle , i think we should get a new one. Anyway the DLC is supposed to be released in august , i think they've already finished the development process , so there is no use in asking for new weapons and armors now.

By M1.do you mean M1919 or M2?
Also The HIT Nova DES cannon is property of the 501st Legion.
