EMP weapons and where to find them

Post » Fri Sep 03, 2010 1:28 pm

Hello all,

I desperately need EMP weapons to take down the BoS, in my terminator character play-through. I allowed a suicide bomber to destroy the Silver Rush, so they are no longer in business. Where else can I find them? If I can't find sufficient amounts of EMP weapons, would AP rounds do the trick? I have rex with me too.

thanks

If you have enough Rad-X/Rad-Away for Vault 34, when you get to the armory, there's a Pulse Gun down there (and maybe some other Pulse related items). Also the YCS rifle is pretty good against them (or the Alien Blaster I guess if you have Wacky Wasteland or whatever).

^^^ This.
Except the Pulse Gun (in a 100 lockpick skill box) is all that I've ever found in the armory of 34.

I put off dealing with the BoS until I could manage enough Sneak (in one playthrough) or Science (in another playthrough) to trigger the self-destruct system in the bunker.

Haha, perfect I am just working on vault 38 right now, basically killed most of it's dwellers. Funny how the story of fallout new vegas seems seems to adapt to your character, rather than the other way around.

Zap glove is an EMP unarmed weapon, and some of the BOS carry it and you can pickpocket it. Don't know how well it works with low unarmed, but you could try it.

Get a key for the footlocker by obtaining it from one of the cabinets in Pearl's room at Nellis.
