Possible OWB Energy Weapon Perk? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Sep 05, 2010 9:36 pm

OWB should really cater to the EW community, we got 2 best light armors in the past DLC's, now it's time for them to get a new set of Power Armor or something. I think Power Armor is UGLY and even I realize something new is needed!

Hologram Armor.

Hologram Armor.

That sounds cool but how would it work?

You mean like a Digital/Glowing type texture, kind of like the blast from the Holorifle?

More like it projects a semi-opaque field around you that looks similar to the holographic security in the Sierra Madre, or the energy fields on the aliens in Mothership Zeta

Ahhh, maybe give it some resistance effects too?

Rads, poison, wind, fire, all that kind of thing!

It's a 204 year old military combat uniform. No denyin' it.

So Combat Armor or either of the reinforced models? Combat Armor at least we know was used before 2077 by the US Army, and the winterized model in Anchorage. It's possible this was the standard Marine combat uniform at the end of the Chinese campaign.

Dead Money gave us the best light armor
Honest Hearts gave us the best medium armor
I have to believe Old World Blues gives us the best heavy armor, and by a mile.

The best light armor was already in the game, it's called the All Purpose Science Suit. 13 dt 2 pounds. Also I wouldn't mind some exoskeletons that you can put on light and medium armor. It could add strength or other things like speed and agility.http://postapocalypticearth.blogspot.com/2011/03/exoskeletons-will-see-combat-by-end-of.html

You can't wear a 1st Recon Beret with the APSS.

The Sierra Madres Reinforced suit gives more DT, and you can wear a helmet to stack even more DT, which you can't do with the Science suit. If you're going for all out protections a few extra pounds means nothing.

I want like a gobi-campaign combat armor reinforced complete with camouflage.

And a desert camo ak would be good to.

I thought the ganon family tesla armor was still the best medium armor?

Okay yeah, statistically. I kind of forgot about it since I hate that quest.

Yeah, I never thought about it but what is up with no AK type rifles? You'd think those would be common/ideal in the wasteland.

Energy weapons are already the most powerful weapons in the game. If you want to make them more powerful, just use max-charged cells.

Have we seen what a tri-beam laser rifle or a gatling laser can do with max charged cells AND laser commander?

Have we tried using plasma weapons with math wrath+plasma spaz+action boy 1+2+commando+sniper+better crticals?

Gauss Rifles and Tesla cannons are already one-shot kill weapons.

What bothers me bananas more than anything is how fast energy weapons decay with max charged cells EVEN if you got Raul sitting at base.

Most of that only counts towards V.A.T.S. use, the exact same could be said for Guns. The Gauss Rifle is nothing. My Grenade Launcher does 270 DAM, holds 3 more rounds and has a high AoE , it's unstoppable. The Gauss Rifle is hardly overpowered.

I mean the idea I proposed could be lowered even further to 15%, but at 20% it would be balanced.

And yeah they do decay really fast. Good thing I'm a Guns guy lol.

The Gauss Rifle is hardly overpowered.

Dude, I use the YCS with max charged cells. It's a beast. If they released a perk that eliminated max/overcharged cell weapon decay, that would be my favorite perk in the world.

I agree! I didn't mean to act like it was weak(It's a monster), I'm just saying it wouldn't be overpowered with the perk.

The ak-47 and SKS both fit into PA thems as they are reliable guns and are just so sixy. Plus they both came out before the timeline split.
