I think the Spider and Scorpion guns will be my new favorite : Fallout: New Vegas

As long as there is enough ammo for the spider and scorpion launchers, I will definately make them part of my travel arsenal. Who will be your first victims upon your return to New Vegas with these strange weapons?

They might not fire those strange projectiles though, or they might.

I like them for what they look like and are, two different flags, both of which made the Wasteland (well, there's that AI who might have started it, but whatever, it didn't make the nukes). Plus, the M79 is my favorite weapon ever.

I wonder how the scorpions from the scorpion rifle will work...

Will they just run at the enemy and explode like the spider rifle.
Or
Will they be like miniature robo-scorpions that follow you around for a short time.

I think they're supposed to be a very low health type of drones that can fire and claw at the enemy but is really more of a distraction. As soon as the player exit from combat, they self destruct or something.

I got a feeling though that these rifles won't really work the same way as they originally intended to in OWB, they probably just use the same textures or something.

No reason for two standard unique grenade rfle....

I really hope that you can only get one in a playthrough depending on how you play it. That would really anger some people.

I don't want to be a kill-joy but there won't be scorpion or spider rifle... what you've seen in the trailer is a unique grenade rifle but definitely not the spider or scorpion rifle...

Both weapons seen in the trailer look EXACTLY the same as the ones found in the OWB game files.
Also it's unlikely 2 unique varients of the same gun will be released, especially as there's already one in the base game.

Also it's listed as a weapon in the wiki, I guess we will know for sure on Tuesday. :celebration:

Why do people like you have to respond. Is it to much for people to be happy and exited?

Why thank you GodlyIXIGhost. How will you use these strange weapons to tame the wild west?

Depends on how they work. If the Spider Rifle works like Operation Anchorage and i can plop them down like mines and wait for enemies and if the Scorpions are like mini robo-scorpions I will probably create and insane obstacle course and force wastlanders to go throught it. :evil:

Thank you.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

OT - Probably the muties up on Black Mt.

EDIT - Holy crap, 2000 posts. :blink:
