> Does JR work on armor? Not sure, but Legion has medium armor. Not much of it in the game.

> Kill. Loot. Repair. Sell.

>Ammo caliber and cases are rare, not much you can do here. As for the named rifle, head to Fallout wiki for help. Will also tell you where to get it, if it exists.

>None. Anitvenom is the only way to stop the poison, which does more damage than the actual hit. Because the hit and poison stack, poison should be dealt with quickly. Also, learn how to snipe them from distance. Their movements are not as random as they look. Be patient, and watch one at a time. They'll often return to a specific point, stop, then move. That point is what you want to focus on. Timing the shot takes practice, but the reward is worth it. Even if you can't one-shot kill, plenty of distance to kill it on approach.

That's all I can answer. Sorry.

Medium armour- go to the gun runners and kill the guards, you get combat armour/helmet plus hunting rifles and .308 rounds/cases

If NcR-kill legion, take their weapons and armour and sell and vice versa if legion. Same goes for any faction you font like.
If you get HP and AP ammo but don't use it, sell it. It's worth a lot in large amounts.
Sell ammo you don't use. Example, I sell .44 as I don't use it's weapons, I sell them.

Sell ammo when you have too much- I had approx 120 missiles, sold 100, went home about 1-2000 caps richer. If you have a few thousand rounds, sell some. 5.56,9mm,10mm,MF Cells,Energy cells and EC packs are more common than FO3 so you can easily get them back.
Sell hollow point and armour piercing ammo like I said above, I use standard apart from incendiary and explosive for AMR.

If you get combat armour/hunting rifles from gun runner guards, you can sell them at the shop, they're worth about 1-2000 caps.

Play Old World Blues and choose to keep your new artificial heart - it makes you immune to poison.


Yes, it's craftable with a Survival skill of 65. You need one flour, one purifed water and one sacred datura root at a campfire.


Having a high Speech skill is very helpful. A good Science skill is also very useful.


Compared to the regular .45 Auto pistol, it has a smaller spread, is more durable and fires faster.
ETA - oh, and BTW, the name of the DLC is Honest Hearts. Happy Trails is the name of the caravan you traveled with at the start of the DLC.

Ooh, thanks for the info on the JR perk. Will invest in the future.

As for what to kill, everything. Okay, not people you want to favor, but Fiends and Legion/NCR are a good start. Fiends are particularly profitable because you can upgrade their armor for 300 caps (valued) as well as some good weapons. Hitting Legion/NCR is extremely beneficial because they eventually send out assassins, and their loot is to kill for.

However, in order to maximize your trade value, a high barter skill is mandatory. Otherwise, you're taking a 75% loss. Use those mags, too! Every boost matters.

As for the Cazadores, they don't appear out of thin air, per se, but you need to keep a watchful eye. They live in hives, no different than bees. Look for cone-shaped hives in the landscape, and that's a good warning sign some are nearby. Cazadores are generally found in the SE part of the map, so be extra cautious in that area. Also, watch the tops of hills, as you'll often spot them flying on the other side.

Most importantly: keep an eye on your compass. If those red blips are moving fast, you've found Cazadores.

I can never find enough medium armor to keep it repaired. Usually just horde all the combat armor I find, steal some from lockers from the Boomers and use caps to repair medium armor as much as I can. Light armor is just too easy to repair and has many perks that benefit with it. And Power Armor is just too durable (except enclave remnant armor).

Jury rigging should give you a ton of caps. Remember what guns can be repaired with what. And repair low health guns like a broken Brush gun with the cheap guns like varmint rifles.

Just have high survival and/or health when facing cazadores. Spam stimpacks. Or in hardcoe mode as soon as the battle starts eat 1 of every food item you have so their healing abilities stack. (Don't eat 20 cram; eat 1 cram, 1 salad, 1 nuka, 1 fancy lad, 1 steak, etc.)

I thought you could craft it with high enough survival. But the materials are mostly found in the happy trails DLC and I never go back to a dlc area once I finish it.

DM doesn't require you to have 100 survival and 100 unarmed. I did it at lvl 30-33 when it first came out with only 100 in Lockpick, speech and guns. My Energy weapons were at 30, and my melee I leveled it up to 50 during the DLC. You do find guns in there. Mostly it's a police pistol but that's enough to kill the enemies. I mostly conserved my ammo so I used melee on a 1 on 1 fight. And used explosives and any energy weapons I found first to make sure I didn't waste ammo.

A Light Shining in the Darkness doesn't really have any stats per se. It just does a huge amount of dps, especially if you have the Grunt perk and use handloaded ammo.

Unless you're willing to trigger the Legion hit squads coming after you (which can be rough early in the game) then NCR troopers are pretty much the only reliable source for medium armor in the game . If you don't want to kill them there are a lot of dead troopers whose bodies you can loot. For example:
-Several in the house north west corner of Nipton.
-One on the road up to Black Mountain from Neil's Shack.
-Two in one of the buildings in Nelson.

Failing that you can get them repaired by an npc, but that can admittedly get expensive.

Next step up from the Cowboy Repeater (if you want a Cowboy perk gun) would be the Trail Carbine, a lever action in .44 Magnum. You might find one at the Gun Runners. If you don't mind a hand gun there's also That Gun sold by the merchant at the Dino in Novac. If you don't mind a shot gun there's the Lever Action shot gun.

If Cazador poison is giving you trouble check a Campfire for the Firey Purgative and Snakebite Tourniquette recipes. Both will cure animal poisons and have low Survival skill requirements to make. Also check out the recipes for Rushing Water and the Weapon Binding Ritual. These can make a big difference for melee fighting.

Killing Cazador's can be a little tough. Big thing is they have no Damage Threshold so shotguns and smgs will really shine against them as will most flame weapons. If you have Ed-E as a companion his laser weapon seems to do decent damage against them. Alternatively, if it's still just the little ones, you can melee them. Get a fast one handed weapon like a Lead Pipe or, best for this, a War Club. You have to get close enough for them to charge at you then back away swinging the club as they get close. Do not go into VATS. If you enter VATS your character will stop and the Cazadors will be all over you. The Large Cazadors have a longer reach to their attack so don't try this trick with them.

If you're doing a Cowboy build a fully modded War Club with a dose of Rushing Water and the Weapon Binding Ritual will do an insane amount fo dps outside of VATS. Add in the Superslam perk and anything that doesn't kill you in the first two shots is pretty much dead as once you knock it down it's rarely getting back up again.
