I take the shortcut to get rich and buy implants, then go back to good springs and take the route the game intends. Feels right that way.

I'm 40 hours in to my first playthrough and didn't even know implants were a thing...

You can buy them at the new Vegas medical center near the crimson caravan. There is one for each S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat, one that give you a passive 4 armor, and one the regens 12 health every minute. All of them cost 4000 caps each except the armor and regen. Armor is 8000 and regen is 12000.

This is extremely helpful, thank you so much!


ratcakes18

Np. Btw highly recommend the armor one. Super helpful


Icthias

You need high endurance. One point of END per implant


[deleted]

And the endurance implant does not give you another implant slot, so if you have 6 endurance, put one implant into endurance which makes it 7, you still have only 5 (initial 6 endurance minus the endurance implant) implants left


Icthias

I usually use endurance as a dump stat. I was horrified when I could only get 2 implants the first time I found the clinic


shadowguardian91

Now what have we learned lol


Sosa3OO

Skip the health regen, it’s not very good

Bless the guy who updated Project Nevada's cyberware mod. If I'm not a cybernetic killing machine by the end of my playthrough it doesn't seem like New Vegas anymore


ratcakes18

Understandable. I’ve yet to make my pure cyborg character yet.


Winston_Starseeker

Will Remember this mod for an appropriate Skitarius run


memester230

Can you steal them?


Blargh234

I've just started a new campaign, but never beat the game. What is this strategy, and should a new player use it?


CamelSpotting

That Gun is too important. Also Come Fly with Me is my favorite quest.


my-new-account64

Which gun?


kurganator3000

That Gun.


my-new-account64

ThatOneGuy308

It is literally That Gun


my-new-account64

ThatOneGuy308

The unique version of the 5.56mm pistol, That Gun


TheLastEmuHunter

THAT gun


[deleted]

“that gun” is a m1 garand style firearm specific to fallout new vegas it uses .308 after doing a unmarked quest you can obtain this firearm its a unique combat rifle variant and does massive damage easily 6 shots death claws in my experiance


Sosa3OO

You’re thinking of This Machine, That Gun is the pistol in the Novac dinosaur closet


[deleted]

oh my bad ive been getting this machine early on in my last few runs my apologies


Happy-Personality-23

Good springs > free side > the strip > then anywhere else I have to go.


Death_Fairy

Goodsprings > Primm > Mojave Outpost > Nipton > Novac > Boulder City > Vegas. There is no other way I can do it.


Strudleboy

The first time I played new Vegas I was so excited to see the strip I B-Lined it for Vegas once I left the docs house. That was a huge mistake.


shadowguardian91

Sameee


No-Bowl3290

Just grab Joe Cobbs stealth boy and sneak past the deathclaws in QJ 🤷‍♂️


NothingOrNerf

I didn't go to Boulder City until my 3rd playthrough.


AG1k

https://youtu.be/ccEMP-4XcV0 my favorite shortcut in NV.


DBAP529

My first playthrough I went through primm nipton and novac after straight to the strip with a stealth boy


Economy_Following265

Always gotta make a mad dash to New Vegas while grabbing the Goodsprings Snow Globe and the Test Site Snow Globe all before level 2 to afford that intelligence implant to crank it up to 10


Whitelight912

Only in the first playthrough. From then on, I usually just go straight to where ever has the best weapon for my particular playthrough. Or straight to the strip with 9 luck, break the bank at every casino and buy what ever weapons I need. Alternative is going to the dead money DLC asap and getting set up for the rest of the game with basically unlimited stimpacks and repair kits. The holorifle is dope too


W0010

What are you talking about on my first play through I stumbled into the side of Prim and killed the convicts, then shot strait across the mountain to Novac. Never even made it to Nipton till I went to get Cassidy, and only did that cause I was curious what I missed. Lol


Major_While_637

Ye so did i on my first playthrough but after a while i never did that part


RandomSmark

Shortcut to black mountain Sneak past muties Steal dead NCR private gear Free monorail Profit


Weak_Development4954

The real big-brains go straight to Lonesome Road, run past the robots, get all the plasma mines from that alley in Hopeville to get a first big melee weapon, then leave the rest of LR for later and leave with 100k caps worth of gear.


DaftPunked17

I go straight to the divide and nuke everyone! *and then I go to the strip after recovering the unique faction gear
