Fallout: New Vegas has many interesting weapons...but many of them often go without proper acknowledgement. I would like to dedicate this thread to the H&H Tools nail gun, for not only adding an interesting small arms alternative to the game but also providing a minor piece of lore!
Did I mention that it's completely silent?

Incredibly easy to make
Can be thrown very far
Huge explosion radius
Good damage
I have 400 hours in New Vegas and I've never heard of that. Neat.
War club and Slayer is a really funny combination
It's obscenely fast. Also interacts with the cowboy perk because cowboys and indians (native americans) go hand in hand.
Oh shit, I never noticed that Cowboy enhances its damage. I'll keep that in mind for my next melee playthrough.
I like how reliable the Varmit Rifle is for a starter weapon.
it's from lonesome road, maybe you didn't play it.
this fucking thing
i don't know why or how, i never take melee weapons or play high strength characters
doing the ultra lux quests and get caught with no weapon, grab this off a corpse
bearing in mind my .45 auto takes like 3-5 headshots to kill anything
i grab this and i start killing everything with a single power attack
it kills the fucking ugpraded robots outside in like three hits
combine this with rushing water, slayer, aint like that now and optionally turbo or GRX with the day tripper and fast times perk and this thing will win the game on its own for you
Which is funny because it was supposed to be .22lr but no one liked it so it got changed to 5.56
Melede Weapons in general seem under appreciated, but this is my favorite late game melee weapon. I love the scavenged looking items that are just pieces of scrap metal (the legion’s lawn mower machetes are good too).

What do you lads think about co-op play for New Vegas?
>sniper teams
>berserker duos
>heavy weaponed tanks blowing shit up
It was a good decision to make.
>there's a unique Lead Pipe
>there's a unique Straight Razor
>there's a non-unique, craftable Recompense of the Fallen
>there are unique Boxing Gloves
>there are Throwing Knifes and Throwing Hatchets
>there are Incendiary Grenades
How is its damage? It makes me interested in a handyman run
It was only changed because at the time .22LR was a shit round. When they changed it to not suck, they forgot to change the rifle back as well
It has low damage but an insane DPS, use it to cripple people like the Dart Thrower from 3
Where do you get throwing knives? I love looting the legion for their throwing spears
>>there's a unique Lead Pipe
and it's weirdly obtuse to obtain
They can be purchased from certain NPCs in low-numbers. I believe they're the rarest weapons in the game.
>handyman run
Jesus christ, reinstalling right now
Don't forget your hat
There's a unique variant for most non thrown weapons in the game.
Is the super version of the fusion cell grenade where you throw like 10 of them at once and they scatter and explode individually underappreciated? Because I loved that and bought all the explosive upgrade perks to maximize it.
Abilene Kid LE BB gun
>deals absolutely insane sneak attack critical damage
>decent crit rate
>next to no requirements to use effectively
>ammo is plentiful, cheap and consumes almost no weight
i always make a run for it at the start of the game
Pic related is under appreciated, used as an ingredient in the best craftable consumables.
I don't know what's under or overused but I love this son of a gun.
Heavy ammo probably pushes some players away.
I don't think I've ever seen someone even mention this thing. It's a flamer that shoots bolts of electricity.
I just constantly forget about it. Why use it when I can sling a fatman?
I remember using the named one that fires 40mm grenades at the area on the river with a mob of deathclaws, using the increased spawns mod so that it's basically wall-to-wall high level versions. I don't think there's anything in the vanilla game that's really worthy of using those weapons on to be honest, probably why they're underused.
Because Fatman is shit that does almost half its damage as impact instead of explosion
This thing offers huge damage in the early game if you just use slugs and ignore buckshot.
>add a variety of unique weapons and gear to your game
>also add a bunch of overpowered endgame items that are boring but effective
>practically shove the endgame stuff down the player's throat as part of the main quest
Why do devs keep doing this? I don't want to have to go out of my way to make the game interesting.
Melee weapons in my opinion have the worst animations, every weapon its the same lame unsatisfying wild swings, that's why i don't use them much
>posting the T-45d when you can use the T-51b
Why
Try the fire axe, you won’t regret it
Just as boring.
There are different animations depending on which way you're moving when you attack. Most will not realize this if they're playing in first-person while using melee.
Can you give an example?
this used to be the best weapon in fallout/fallout 2 for small arms characters, easier to obtain and more plentiful ammo than gauss weapons
I wish that was a thing honestly
>rushing in with unarmed while your buddy is covering you with a sniper
Meele builds are so fun.
Even unoptimised I pummeled the head of the Deathclaw mommy in, while being high on Hydra.
Bloody fist of the northstar "ATATATATA" in slow-mo while they are juggled in the air.
There are multiplayer mods for New Vegas, both for co-op and "MMO" stuff like this.
I re-call this gun in 2 tearing people, mutants and others apart like it was loaded with tank shells.
Utterly ridiculous to stomp around with power armour and blow someones torso in half with a BB gun.
How do I stop going guns, lockpick, speech every game?
Let your fists do the talking
Go energy weapons, science, explosives.
Yes
>posting the T-51b when you can use the chad APA
I've beaten the game a dozen times but this has been my favorite build of them all.
>20 dead NCR for one of these on each hand
I used to call it the leg breaker because every time I used it I sucked at maintaining a proper range with it so it kept exploding in my face and breaking my character's limbs.
The little rubber padding along the edges to make it easier to grip is an example of Obsidian's fascinating attention to detail.
based and legionpilled
No love for Pushy? No ammo, strength requirement of fucking two, and highest DPS for a melee weapon in the base game. I love this shit but it can be a bit game breaking.
>No ammo
Only because they couldn't get it to work in time
Yeah, that is a shame. I wonder if it's even possible with the game's engine.
Greased Lightning power fist was so fun to use with the knockdown melee perks, rushing water, slayer, and chems. When under bullet time from turbo, I'd juggle multiple enemies in the air and when they died and the effects wore off I'd watch their bodies fly sky high.
Honorable mention goes to the police pistol from dead money I just liked its aesthetic.
I loved incendiary grenades
Because it's terrible against anything that's not a robot
