There r so many guns in New Vegas and you cant carry all kinds of guns 'cause they are pretty heavy,

like i usually carry 3 kinds of guns, a silenced Sniper Rifle, the Lucky and an All-American.

Let's talk about what weapons you guys normally carry!



P.S. Thank you guys so much for posting with so many words attentively, i really appreciated!

Here is truly a good place to discuss FNV with such group of kind players!

P.P.S Riot Shotgun is awesome, i agree. Apparently, hunting shotgun is a great choice, too!

That's funny cause I carry those same guns as well, but while I have Lucky I prefer the Mysterious Magnum, cause I'm a svcker for the .44

Riot Shotgun



I try to be sort of realistic with what my guy can carry, and if i change it up, usually it is the Riot Shotgun being switched out. I also only carry about 200 shots of whatever weapon i'm using too

A sniper rifle (with all mods)
A grenade launcher
Maria

Depending on what I am going to be doing. Deathclaws/Super Mutants/Robots - I use a Silcenced Sniper Rifle, Silcenced 12.7 Submachine Gun and a Riot Shotgun. For everything else I swap out the Riot Shotgun with a 10mm Pistol, Silcenced of course.

Mysterious Magnum
Cowboy Repeater
Lever-action shotgun

WoW my guy has more weapons on him than a us marine platoon. Right now he has lol
.44 mag
a 10 silenced w lazer site
aer 14 lazer rifle
annabele
12.7mm sub
alien blaster
pew pew
this machine
Q -35 modulater
grenade rifle with long barrel
sniper carbon fiber
ratslayer
LMG with larger drum
tri beam lazer rifle
trail carbine
assult carbine
I think thats it for me right now. I just don t want to go down cause I was unprepared.

EDIT.. I carry a Super Heated Cosmic Knife as my lone melee weapon for this charcter. For chasing down cowards and gutting them. He has the pulse gun too. Im also going to leave laser spelled wrong so we can all laugh. It sounds like it should be a z not an s.

I don't carry guns usually.

Always a machete, always C4 and always an RCW+.

My "must haves":

For any character with Guns skill: hunting shotgun. This is pretty much the best weapon in the game, IMO. Other weapons are better in some ways (accuracy, sustained rate of fire) but nothing beats this for all around versatility and practicality.

For any character with Energy skill: laser RCW. One of Energy's gems.

For any character with Melee skill: fire axe

For any character with Explosives: Grenade rifle. A not too heavy, not too expensive weapon that can cause extreme damage at long range.

WIth Guns character:
Lever action rifles (using a better variant as they appear) - for mid range.
Hunting rifle, sniper rifle or AMR - for long range.
Maria, 9mm or that gun - for backup.
I never really bothered to use automatic or heavy (aside from AMR) weapons.

Haven't done a viable character with energy weapons, melee, unarmed or explosives yet.

I try to be prepared for whatever I might run into, so that means a long-range weapon, a short-range weapon, a melee/unarmed weapon, and a holdout weapon. It changes depending on how much ammo I have, what I expect to face, etc. For example, if I'm expecting to face Deathclaws, I've got the Anti-Materiel Rifle with me at all times as a long-range weapon, but if I'm sniping Legion troops or Powder Gangers, I'll just bust out a fully modded Sniper Rifle instead.

I pretty much always have Lucky and a Ballistic Fist on me, but my short/medium-rang weapon changes frequently as well, depending on ammo amounts. Sometimes it's a Brush Gun, sometimes a Cowboy Repeater, others a Riot Shotgun. I don't use the unique weapons much for some reason, preferring to collect them more as trophies than for anything else.

(Note, this is on my current character, who I have gone with both Guns and Unarmed as skills to invest in heavily, mostly because I couldn't make up my mind which way to go for a weapon skill. If I had a more pure Guns character, I obviously wouldn't try to pull off the Ballistic Fist as a basic Combat Knife would probably be almost as effective with minimal skill investment and less weight. An Energy Weapons character would...who am I kidding? If you go Energy Weapons, you're either better than me at the game and you wouldn't want/need my example, or so much worse than me at the game my example won't help. Melee and/or Unarmed characters are another case entirely.)

A 12.7 SMG (for raw damage)

A Light Machine Gun (for armor-piercing at short range)

A Gauss Rifle (for range)

A Machete Gladius (for melee)

And Annabelle (to make a bang)

Most typically a modded hunting shotgun or the Ratslayer. If i'm going to face some high-end mobs at low levels i'll pick up something like a brush gun.

I always bring the best( in my opinion ) of all category:

Silenced .22 pistol
This Machine
Lucky
Mysterious Magnum
Brush Gun
Anti-material Rifle
Light machine gun
CZ57 Avenger
Abilene Kid LE BB Gun
10mm SMG
12.7mm SMG
Vance's 9mm submachine gun
Riot shotgun
Lever-action shotgun
Euclid's C-Finder
Pulse gun
Pew Pew
Recharger pistol
Tesla-Beaton prototype
Laser RCW
YCS/186
Plasma Caster
Heavy incinerator
Grenade machine gun
Mercy
Fat man
Annabelle
C-4 plastic explosive1 + Detonator
Knock-knock
Chainsaw
Thermic lance
Shishkebab
Oh, Baby!
Throwing spear
Ballistic fist

Actually, I DO carry a myriad of weapons, but they'd be counted in the 'Small Guns' category if it was in the game. So my weight isnt hindered by weapons.

My prefered toys are

Silenced 10mm Pistol
Silenced Sniper RIfle
Modded Hunting Shotgun

All very deadly weapons.

I don't always carry it, but I DO us a 9 iron for a novelty weapon when bored.

I donot carry a specific weapon i make a choice at the very beginning which caliber or calibers i want to use and then either go get the named weapons that match the caliber choice, or hunt down the generic version. So in a sense i have uded them all at one time or another just not in the same game with the same character.

Asai

My default setup are a silenced sniper rifle, the mysterious magnum and a brush gun for each of which
I normally don't carry more than 50-60 bullets. The magnum is with me just as a holdout weapon: the brush gun
is deadly from close to medium range and I'd use that one, given the choice.

Just for fun, one of my companion is always carrying the C-Finder, the Pulse gun, a grenade launcher,
a LMG (for wasting a bit of those thousand of 5.56mm ammo I gathered along the way) and a heavy incinerator
which I just recently discovered to be a rather effective solution to large groups of cazadores.

I'm EW so I carry a Laser Pistol early on and then a Laser Rifle which is modded 3 times, then a Plasma Rifle and then the Q-35 Matter Modulator and that's a big favorite. I always get the YCS/186 and the Tri-Beam...and the Pulse Gun. Boone's always carrying the Incinerator and the Missile Launcher for me while he uses the All-American.

I end up carrying the Pulse Gun and the Tri-Beam. If I use a gun, it's the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.

Power glove and Plasma defender, and then any EW rifle.

Hunting Rifle (full mods), Hunting Shotgun and Maria.

My current character never leaves home without:

Annabelle
Sniper Rifle
Ratslayer
Lucky
Trail Carbine
Vance's 9mm SMG
The Humble Cudgel
And a bunch of different explosives.

"which guns do you normally carry?"

a: all of them :gun:

(I'm a Plazma Spaz, but a girl's gotta have choices. And a big backpack mod)

Typical loadout includes:

• Plasma Defender
  
• Ripper
  
• Machette/Liberator
  
• x4 Plasma Grenades
  
• x2 Plasma Mines
  
• Binoculous

Depending on the nature of the operation I may utilise any number of Energy and Conventional firearms, the most frequently used are:

• Gauss Rifle, typical primary weapon when I have nothing in mind planned for the outting from my lair.
  
• Multiplas Rifle, see Gauss Rifle.
  
• Fully Modded Sniper Rifle, for general use in assassinating (because it's for an ideological motivation not for money!) NCR personnel, citizens and caravans.
  
• Riot Shotgun, after the inevetable point where the NCR attack me for my Legion help nothing beats going absolutely ape-[censored] with a Riot Shotgun and a well of ammo!
  
• Fully Modded 10mm SMG, sometimes replaces Plasma Defender is SECs are a little thin on the ground or when I have to do a lot of indoor fighting.

Note that I caryy a lot of weapons with me usually, but these are simply my favorites

Guns: Riot shotgun + Mysterious Magnum
EW: Plasma defender + Laser RCW + Holorifle + AER14
Explosives: C4 + Grenade Machinegun
Melee: Shishkebab + Chainsaw
Unarmed: Ballistic fist + Love and Hate
