Are they ever going to release the pre order packs on PSN or Live?(i know, if they release them now the wont be pre order packs any more) I wouldn't even mind paying a few euro's for it (with few i mean between 1 and 5 euro's per pack)
because the stuff you can get in there is pretty cool.

They always could might make some pre order people mad though.

Being one of those who put down $ to pre-order, I really wouldn't mind it being available as a purchasable DLC, especially if it means being able to get the pre-order packs that I missed. I'm sure the vendors who hosted the "exclusive" pre-orders, wouldn't mind a cut of that pie either. The only people I'd imagine getting really pissed @ the idea were the ones who 4 copies of the game from the various vendors to get all 4 DLCs.

I want that Vault 13 jumpsuit...

Considering Explosives are totally nerfed so the Mercenary Pack's Thumper is useless....and you can pick up a free set of binocs in the first hour if you go to Primm...the Classic Pack is by far the best. The Vault Suit is good for the whole game, from my experience.

that would be fine, as long as theyre reasonably priced. people who pre-ordered would have no reason to be mad. you didnt pay extra to get em or anything. you got one for free!

But I couldn't look down my nose at those poor mortals who didn't pre-order and get one anymore. The best thing about Dead Money for me was that the PS3 and PC players didn't have it.....losing my smug sense of superiority about having the Vault Suit and canteen when others did not would be the last straw. I'd have to make a wall of text rant about how I'd never buy a gamesas game again that I'd have to deny once it came out I pre-ordered Skyrim and FO4.

:cookie:

My point was not about what pack is good and what pack is bad. just wanted to know if people who pre ordered would mind, and most people say they would not.

In terms of armor, the Light Metal Armor of the Merc pack has the best DT of all the pre-order armors (12 DT). On top of that, it has the same DT as the regular Metal Armor and it's 2/3 lighter (20).

The Armored Vault 13 Suit has the same DT (8) as the Light Caravan Leather, but it's a bit heavier (15 vs 10) and has less durability (100 vs 150) making the Vault 13 suit the 3rd best armor and the Light Leather the 2nd best.

The Tribal Raiding Armor is the poorest of all the selections, offering no unique advantages nor difference in looks vs the standard Raider Blastmaster Armor (4-DT/100-HP/15-WT) other than the name change. Disappointing to say the least.

In terms of the rest of the gear, the Weathered 10mm is probably the best weapon, especially considering it was patched so that the Silencer and Laser Sighting Mods no longer glitch the gun. On top of all that, the extended mags and the 10mm JFP Hand Load Rounds (if you have the perk) make it a great side-arm to use all the way to the end-game given the suppressor sneak bonuses and the extra damage over the standard 10mm.

The only drawbacks vs the standard 10mm is that the weapon's shape is not updated with the mods (though the bonuses still apply) and unfortunately, it does not count as a holdout weapon so no sneaking it into the casinos.

The V13 Canteen gives a slight edge in hardcoe mode by reducing your rate of thirst. Although it may not seem like much, the thirst stat seems to go up the fastest in HC mode so slowing it down does help in the long run.

I suppose the Machete and the Throwing spears and bleak poison from the Tribal Pack would make good starting gear for a Melee build, but if you aren't going the Melee route I'd say the Tribal as the weakest offering of all the other pre-order DLC packs.

I think it would be nice to release them as DLC. I'm sort of a completest and was a little upset I couldn't get all the armor when the pre-order stuff came out. Ended up going with the Vault 13 Suit but wouldn't mind spending a reasonable amount of dough on the rest.

this they need to fix, i just want to see the silencer on it.
that it is not a sneak for casinos weapons balances it.

I agree. Although I'm glad the graphical glitch was patched with the mod additions, I'm wondering why they could take that extra steps to add the silencer and laser sight graphics to the modded weathered 10mm pistol.

i would love to get my hands on that machete in the tribal pack.

It's a great melee weapon, it always reminds me of the machete in far cry 2

This would be awesome, ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS OBSIDIAN?
Seriously listen to this though.
