Screw on a Silencer : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:52 am

Before the gun junkies come in here, I understand it is called a suppressor. But a) silencer is faster to type and B) everyone else will think "wut?"

So of all the guns that can be made quiet, which do you prefer? I have to go with the Ratslayer, because I kept it all the way until level 20. Such a great little gun...

EDIT: Where the hell did my poll go?!

.22 LR is the only one i ever use, mainly as a hold out

12.7mm is good against humans and animals and the sniper rifle is better for super mutants and deathclaws

10mm silenced for an all purpose gun

Silenced Sniper Rifle pre-patch for high ridge sniping.

The Ratslayer was a weapon I kept with me at all times.

What the game really needs is a silenced energy weapon.

Best ~~candy cane~~ gun in looks and feel 10mm, man I grew a sixth toe with it...
Silenced shhh, sneaky, ~~hand up~~ hold out weapon, fully ~~enchantable~~ modable, just a great gnu.

One that really is fun to use the 71.2 smg, powerfull, ott, and completely misses the ~~planet~~ target.

I have a lot of fun with my silenced, scoped Varmint Rifle. It just feels more satisfying than the more powerful guns.

I voted Sniper, but I really wanted to vote Varmint Rifle. Sadly (again) not all options are accounted for :sadvaultboy:

I love the Sniper Rifle, but by the time I manage to find myself a silencer, I'm doing just fine with the modded VR.

(I don't like Ratslayer. The AP cost is too high. Not a good trade-off for DAM in my opinion.)

Throwing knives/hatchets/spears are silent too :sadvaultboy:

My favorite suppressed firearm must be the 12.7 pistol, followed by the 12.7 smg.

I cleared Deathclaw Promontory, Quarry Junction, Gypsum (?) Trainyard, Dead Wind Cavern, Silver Peak Mine, Guardian Caves, and The Fort with a 12.7 SMG+. It is a beast of beasts.

Ratslayer is a fully modded Varmint Rifle, so you can all vote for that.

I prefer the silenced sniper rifle because I like to pick out deathclaws from the top of the quarry but when it comes to CQ I prefer the 12.7mm smg to obliterate anything that moves

Suppresed sniper rifle > Anti material rifle, that's why I have Boone carry the AMR with incendiary ammo

12.7mm because when I truly need silence, it's usually when I'm close, not far away looking through a scope.

I just wish the 12.7 SMG would carry more bullets (is there a mod that mods that in?). However, I would prefer the 10mm SMG could be silenced, just for that reason.

I also wish I could put a suppressor on the 44 Magnum, but somehow that gun just needs to be loud.

I don't know about mods ( down loadable ones ), that add mods ( equipable ) to grant the 12.7 extra ammo per clip.
However using the GECK you can mod ( change ) the basic weapons amount yourself with just a number swap no fuss needed.
Or just keep using the same meshes for the base model, and modded versions, then copy paste them to look as if granting extra ammo when upgraded the second time.
Really needs to be more deviation to accronyms with these games.

I've never found a silencer for the 12.7mm pistol and I've never put one on the sniper rifle.. but the Ratslayer is my favorite silenced weapon otherwise. The .22 pistol blows.

I use the Varmint Rifle [plus scope] (same thing as Ratslayer, really).

Whilst I see the massive potential of the suppressed Sniper Rifle, I think the rifle itself looks ugly as sin with it on, whereas it looks good on the Varmint Rifle to me.
