Suprised nobody's seen this yet. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/959557-fallout-new-vegas/60736193

It can turn the otherwise useless Laser Detonator into a fully automatic mininuke handgun with inifinite ammo and a true iron sight. :ermm:

awesome :flamethrower:

have to see if this glitch works on the PS3 (dont see any mention of it there).
edit: i think ill try this with the MF Hyperbreeder Alpha gun.

can someone make a walk-through video?

It does work on the PS3. I don't know about a video but I can tell you how to do it. Lets say I want to fire an unending stream of Low Yield mini-nukes from my Laser Detonator. First I have to equip a gun that can fire them, like Esther. Then, while still on the weapons page I hold the hotkey menu open, and use the joystick to move over to the ammo section. Select the Low-Yield mininukes and hotkey them. Now equip the Laser Detonator. While you have the laser detonator out use the hotkey to switch the ammo to Low-Yield mininukes. Fire and enjoy the explosion!

It works with other guns and ammo types too. Tiny Tots didn't work with the laser detonator though.

I'd imagine it would work the same with the Hyperbreeder, the laser detonator just has a significantly faster breeder. I used an implant GRX and it lagged the game I was firing so fast. I carpet bombed Freeside.

on the PS3, i found whatever ammo you hot-key to the weapon you want to use, you must have that weapon for the ammo you want to hot-key for a different weapon, and whatever ammo you hot-key is depleted, you do not have to keep the weapon once the ammo has been hot-keyed, i keep it in a box.
for example, im using the 3K microfusion cells that i have as ammo for the sniper rifle, there is no difference in damage and rate of fire, just that i have more ammo to use, i used a wepon that takes MF cells to get the ammo hot-keyed and put the weapon away in a box afterwards.
i was not able to get the MF Hyperbreeder to fire anything other than its own ammo, regardless of what i did, i could see the ammo was changing but the actual ammo it fired did not.
one great thing about this glitch is the C4.
i have the MF cells hot-keyed, simply equip C4, switch to the hot-key that has the MF cells, drop some C4, disarm and pick it up, rinse/repeat until you have enough you desire to sell or use.
just be careful not to drop too many close together, they tend to all blow up as it happened to me by dropping about 20 of them in a pile.
with this type C4 trick, you can essentially buy everything from the merchants and get your money back.
if you choose to do that, be aware the merchants have a limit on the amount of caps they can hold, i bought 40K worth of items from GRA and tried to sell the C4 trick back to the GRA vendor to get the caps back, the vendor was taking the C4 but i was not getting any caps at all.
i had to wait in-game one hour to reset the GRA vendor back to 8K caps, no biggie, ill reclaim the caps from the many other vendors all around anyhow, it wont take much time at all.
i think ill have Raul carry as much C4 as possible now, just for selling, LOL
also as a note, i do not lose the ability to hot-key different ammo to any weapon while teleporting, not on the PS3

allright thanks. deffinately have to try this. can you stick mini nukes into the red glare? that would be tight.

Can't hotkey ammo on Xbox just tried it

I can do it fine on xbox for whatever I want. You must be doing something wrong.

Equipped Esther, went to ammo, wasn't able to hold RB to hotkey. Ironically enough the Mod button is solid but the HK is opaque.

You have to equip esther then go to hotkey it, while the hotkey is up use the left thumbstick to go to ammo then use the dpad to hotkey the ammo I promise you it works. :thumbsup:

Sweet! Gonna fire a nuke with the Laser Designator...

The glitch doesn't work with tiny tots and the laser designator, but big boys (or w.e. their called) and the low yield ones do work.

I dont think this works on PC. I cant work it.

for PC, i think you can just use console commands

EliteData- Oh cool, how for example?

Tried sniping with a Mini Nuke, Big Kid. Did not work out nicely.
But firing explosive rounds from my Ranger Sequoia was pretty interesting haha.

Caution to all Xbox users, do not I repeat do not put the Incendiary rockets with the laser detonator. I did this and it worked for awhile, but upon trying to fire into a small group of NCR hit squad members my game froze. Now my disc is unreadable and has been for some time. :c

Fatman and microfusion cells are awesome...

use caution with the euclid finder weapon.
if you fire it too many times, it suddenly stops working correctly, appearing to fire but doing nothing at all until you teleport and boom, youre blown up.
the glitch has introduced other glitches like Raul not being stripped of any weapons you give him, while you are stripped of them, when entering certain areas of the game as well as using them in those certain areas.

Cool, i am firing rockets out of the AMR
