I battled Ulysses on Normal difficulty, non-hardcoe, and I actually had a pretty tough fight there. I used loads of stimpaks (actually, my stealth suit mk II did) but he was clearly a LOT tougher than Lanius or Graham were. Mostly because I didn't bother switching off his Eyebots, so he kept healing up.

Anyway, I was wondering: I know that quite a lot of people here play FO:NV on the Very Hard and hardcoe settings. Did any of you actually beat Ulysses with these settings on? If so, how? What kind of armor and weapons did you use?
