pre-patch, the fatman svcked (well, it still kill most things.) whats different in this patch? is it any better? can it weaken a deathclaw more better?

Please answer my question, I'm just curious, because i find it very frustating to not have killed a deathclaw with my mini-nuke, and is the aiming fixed too? so if i fire it at other place, it won't hit you?

Anyone can answer this question, not just Mr. Sawyer.

From the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_patch_1.5:

i had no problem with the patch before this one it shot pretty far not sure if it can go even futher still waiting for my freaking power to come on so i can play. As far as i know it does more damage as well as the missle launchers

If you aren't killing Deathclaws with one Mini-Nuke, then there's trouble. Deathclaws have 250 HP I believe with 15 DT.

Oh, and the damage rating on the Fat Man - Just for looks; It still doesn't work on direct hit based on tests. Projectile Damage is what matters.

Is that outside of VATS? I think you guys noted the missile launchers did the direct damage in VATS, but not outside. Is it the same with the Fat Man?

-Gunny out.

I believe Quarry Junction deathclaws have 500HP. But point probably remains if they're doing 600dmg now.

I've never really tried a fat man in New Vegas so I can't really comment but, the only thing I can imagine it having trouble taking out in one hit is maybe the Legendary/Mother/Alpha Deathclaw.

That would be outside. Inside... well... I'm not sure if you can get close enough for a direct hit VATS shot without blowing yourself up. Course, tgm resolves that. All I know is, if it does work, I, apparently, give http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y123/celica62/New%20Vegas/enb2011_4_29_5_24_48.jpg with no Demolition Expert and 82~ Explosives Skill. So, I may as well find out... after I finish watching something.

The only thing the FatMan needs now: SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SELL AMMO FOR IT!!!!!!


If I got the caps, I want the product!

just did this test with the Legendary Deathclaw and...LOL..splash Damage..-shudders- the thing is truly a monster of all weapons..its even more dangerous then its old FO3 cousin..I commited a VATS attack towards it and not only did it blow it apart, but the other 2 deathclaws in that chamber, the Mercy flew beside me after ricocheting all over the chamber, while the Paladin body was stuck in the wall, his legs missing, as for me? nearly 4/5 of my health just vanished and I became crippled X_X the weapon is truly a monster, and if the demolitions Expert works, all three skill points make it whip out over 1400 damage per shot (if you hit them in VATS..if not, its just 1008 damage with the explosion ITSELF lol)

With awesomeness like that, you'd be willing to fork over $$$$ for mini nukes, right? I know I would! Let's see if we can get mini nukes for sale.....

I dont think even the NCR are capable of producing Mini-Nukes, perhaps the Boomers have the secret, but not the ability to make them... perhaps a quest where we establish some sort of agreement between the Boomers and the Gun Runners and the Gun Runners start having more Explosives and Explosive ammo in stock.

lol not at all, theres a lovely spawn glitch you can abuse to get unlimited Nukes XD (so far I got 101..going for 300, and when im insane enough..3000 :3) just go to Nellis, look around in their cornfield, one of the Boomers (usually a female) is (duh) holding the Fat Man on her back. Snipe her with a silenced sniper rifle while hidden, loot her corpse, leave, wait for 3 days somewhere else, rinse and repeat...ta-da, unlimited nukes for everyone!!

A word in advance:If she actually respawns and it works, you are my freakin' hero!

she does broski!! just snipe her (boomers somehow..have good perception..be careful on this part, make sure your very well hidden..) grab her [censored], go around Gun Runners (if you dont want to and want to be closer, FT at Nellis Hangars or the other Nellis point, but because of the proximity, you got about a 80-20 chance that she may still be there, her corpse being the 20%), wait for 3 days, come back, find her, rince and repeat, plus with all of these Fat Mans..well..im making a fortune as well ^^ I hope the Devs dont stop this glitch spawn D:

Use console cheats if you got PC? if you do not, theres a secret nuke cache if you wanna know more, just reply to this topic.

I'd like to know of this "cache", I thought there were only like 10 mini nukes in the entire Mojave? I do have a PC, but just giving myself free nukes feels kind of wrong. I want to either find them or buy them.

i think they mean by Xbox or ps3...wait a secret Nuke cache? where?...I mean its fun sniping her over and over..but getting to 300 is a bit rough..I hope im not being Trolled -_-

OK, near nipton is something like a broken vault door, it looks like it, but it isn't because it is much smaller and if you get at the right angle, you will have the option of entering it, and when you do it looks like a clean vault room, and it has 100 ammo in there each own container, behide a airlock, which can be un-locked by a nearby terminal which can be hacked with 30+ science.

Awesome description


Could you be a little more specific? If I FT to Niption, which direction is it? How long should I walk for approx.?


Sorry for the sarcastic comment.

South, behide the house, and I'm not sure, i believe 5 min-miles or something.

yeah im a bit confused as well...where exactly is it?..im in Nipton right now, and well..I dont see any Vault door..

Alright, I'm too lazy to boot up the Xbox with a proper file with 30 science, I'll just go on my PC version right now lol.

um...what house? Nipton is a town dude lol, which house is it? and south leads you out of the town itself.. :/

the southern house, go south and keep looking around, you should notice it.
