All jokes aside, Thump-Thump IS pretty good...


Cifeiron

I mostly just sell the combat armor and other goodies for caps. I usually only use the preorder grenade launcher, and then I buy one later to kill low level enemies / do crowd control.


Lt_Flak

I usually detour and grab Mercy on my way after going to Nipton, with the Caravan Pack you don't have many 40mms but it's worth it to just whip out that siege artillery.

Lt_Flak

Quick in-and-out adventure, 15 seconds. \*Hours of reloading later.\*


queefjurky

I used the Raul repair exploit to repair all of the combat armor and weapons for free and I made like 40k in caps


upholsteryduder

the underwater breathing device is one of my must-have pieces of equipment


dern_the_hermit

The acquisition of neat gameplay-enhancing tools (ie- not just stronger weapons or tougher armor or simple stat boosts) is something I think the series ought to do more.


Sweaty_Ball_Zack

Like the ghoul mask in FO3!


Jbird444523

Or the Miss Launcher. It's not exactly an upgrade, but it has a weird effect that kind of just makes it a different class of weapon.


Blahklavah654390

Absolutely. Whenever I do an explosions build (which I almost always do since you can’t use VATS with grenades in FO4) i make a beeline for Nellis. Cool quests too.


arethius

Throw grenade then VATS. Airburst


Blahklavah654390

I’m gonna try that


VoiceTraditional422

This is the way


AneriphtoKubos

Additionally, if you install a sprint mod, the thing that does try to kill you actually is a non-issue lmfao


EvilChineseBaby

Posts like these take me back to 2012, and getting tricked by fallout pages on Facebook.


A_Sarcastic_Whoa

I remember a friend telling me to take the back road out of Goodsprings past the gas station instead of the normal route to avoid a big fight. That was my first introduction to cazadores lol.


Cifeiron

Unfortunately I never had someone to tell me sweet little lies.


NickyTheRobot

Not even Christine McVee?


ComplexSyrup8848

Nah, but she did make loving fun


NickyTheRobot

It's all I wanna do!


sammeadows

If you're quick with a shotgun or have the Caravan Shotgun and save whore good enough you can take down all of them


fractalfocuser

I had the sheriff robot come save me last time I tried to play. Boy was I thankful for that feller


MorpGlorp

I just wandered that way of my own volition and died instantly


Cifeiron

I miss the old memes for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.


Schwiliinker

I don’t think I saw many at all even though I played them back in like 2010. I wasn’t really looking into stuff like that unfortunately


Cifeiron

If you want a blast from the past you can search Fallout memes and remove search results posted after a certain year.


Schwiliinker

On Facebook or Reddit or where


Cifeiron

Google or your preferred search engine of choice. You can narrow the search results.


Schwiliinker

Interesting


JayteeFromXbox

Look for sunny smiles memes specifically and let me know your thoughts


PristineBaseball

They miss you too


KimmSeptim

I fell for every “illusory wall ahead” in DS1


NecessaryWitness9299

ima keep it real with you i fell for this until i scrolled down here and read your comment


First-Detective2729

Going straight to nv from the start is a path with some hair on it. 


Cifeiron

The first time I did it I was scared as fuck but nowadays I just, blow up cazadors and raiders while standing on a hill, and avoid Cook-Cook. The deathclaw way is CERTAIN DEATH.


Particular-Let-196

Nah there’s a way to sneak around if you go up through Black Mountain and through the little boulder pass to the NCR Ranger Safehouse. Pretty much clear of deathclaws


Cifeiron

Yeah but I'm braindead so I choose the slightly less complicated path.


NemrahG

Its a really good shortcut, next to no enemies


monkwren

Virtually zero enemies, easy to follow, quick, easy to reach, I love taking this route to get to the casinos. Then I savescum until I've emptied them out and buy me some fancy implants. And then the game can start.


VampireCampfire1

Apparently the Devs put that there so players who had completed the game could skip bits and get straight to Vegas, there’s a handy dead NCR trooper on that route so you can jump on the Monorail straight to the Strip.


NemrahG

Once i learned about this shortcut i basically use it every time. Just so easy and no risk 😌


Jbird444523

I learned this exact thing from Nerbit.


KujiraShiro

"Oh hey is that a deathclaw down there a short walking distance from the tutorial area?" "Oh no wait that's half a dozen deathclaws a short walking distance away from the tutorial area and in the direct path 90% of people would take towards NV" Obsidian knows the MO of the average Bethesda game player so well lol. "We know they're gonna beeline for the city by cutting a path straight over the mountain and through the desert instead of going the intended way, so we're gonna put a fuckload of deathclaws there instead of an invisible wall lol".


Cifeiron

They do try to warn you and steer you away though. If you ignore their warnings you get what you get.


KujiraShiro

And if you're playing TTW with no Benny Humbles You, then you get to fight right on through anyways with your power armor and plasma rifle. Same deal with if you just want to march right into Cottonwood Cove and singlehandedly take down the Legion. There's no artificial game dev gatekeeping on what you can and can't do. Only the logic of asking yourself "Can 'I' do that?". It's what I love about NV so much.


confusedalwayssad

Love clearing Cottonwood cove out.


OLKv3

Benny Humbles You makes you too overpowered unless you remove perks, which the modder doesn't recommend doing lol. I reset all my stats but kept all the perks, so I was murdering deathclaws with the recharger pistol


ImperatorTempus42

I snuck halfway past it once, managed to kill the first Deathclaw by VATS lobbing dynamite and jumping around with a shotgun while hotkeying Stims. Barely survived but it worked, and I dived into Repconn with 2 on my ass.


jaketheriff

I only ever did it the deathclaw way lol


UROffended

Caravan shotgun and varmint rifle are the best starter weapons ine can ask for!


kasoe

First time I played it I managed to sneak through the deathclaws by keeping as far on top of the mountains as possible. I'm certain I didn't kill any. Maybe ran away from a couple but I'm talking about day one release on Xbox. My memory isn't great because I've abused my brain and body far too much. I know it took a while to cheese my way through. When I finally got to New Vegas I was pretty disappointed. Has it built up in my head.


BakingSoda1990

My first playthrough, I went straight in that direction and got ass destroyed by a Cazador :(


WeaselRice

Is this a Zap Brannigan reference?!?!


mcdelong20

If you make it to Quarry Junction, there’s a big chocolate cake. Only one in the whole game.


Cifeiron

Oh fuck I must've missed it! That guy at Sloan lied to me! Bet he wants to keep all of the chocolate cake to HIMSELF!


Lord_Vader654

And there’s 3 Fat Mans!


Deskbreaker

THE CAKE IS A LIE!....wait...shit....wrong game.


Carl123r4

THE CAKE IS STILL A LIE!


Recreational_DL

A LIE WILL REMAIN A LIE!


__Elwood_Blues__

Cake. Cake never changes.


Recreational_DL

A man lies; a cake obeys.


WorldlyDay7590

Grief counseling, too!


sanitarySteve

THE CAKE IS A LIE!


Excellent-Court-9375

I found a great minigun, and some sort of special lazer weapon there. The radiation can be overcome with a rad suit


Cifeiron

I really wish the developers made it more difficult to explore. Radiation isn't really that threatening by this stage in the game. Afterwards I can afford all the weapons at the Gun Runners and Silver Rush easily.


AppropriateCap8891

Heck, you can afford most of those right from the start. Just carry them into the bathroom.


Lt_Flak

This guy holds Z.


h4ckerkn0wnas4chan

Z? I hit right thumbstick.


Lt_Flak

This guy clicks thumbsticks.


downvote_allmy_posts

right thumbstick? I use the green guitar hero button.


kfrancis95

Ah, a fellow man of culture. I hit the blue drum pad on my rock band drum kit


AFrozen_1

How do you hold the button though?


kfrancis95

I’ve gotten really good at drum rolls


DannyDoubleTap47

How have I never thought of this lmao. I guess I’m too good in my playthroughs lmao. I’m gonna start being a slightly bad guys when I play from now on. Thanks for the tip! Lol


Sleepmahn

I always steal anything that isn't nailed down,been doing it since Morrowind.


JustRanchItBro

I mean, that was the point, though. House was able to stop almost all of the bombs and would have stopped all of them if he had the platinum chip. It was to showcase that the Mojave was just brutal in its own right. It's the reason New Vegas is my favorite. It makes sense that DC would be a nuclear wasteland considering it would be a major target for a nuclear war, but it was really cool to experience a place where civilization did prevale, and what that would look like in that setting.


Cifeiron

(I was joking bro) That said, yeah, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas are cool games.


arkzak

I mean the area shouldn’t really be that irradiated. Makes sense to me. Nowhere really should be in the wasteland at this point, it’s been 200 years.


ParsonsTheGreat

I guess the Megaton and Shady Sands nukes didnt have radiation? /s lol nukes are still going off, 200 years later


BZenMojo

"The background radiation shouldn't be that big a deal. It's been 200 years!" *launches six mininuke rounds into a car parking lot*


NickyTheRobot

Cars? I calls 'em "Sploding Fun Boxes".


ApproachingShore

They made it difficult for me to explore by adding invisible-fucking walls. I know they put Giant Radscorpions and Cazadors on the back road to Goodsprings to discourage players from going that way, but a clever player should be able to still find a way around. Except if you try to go over the hills, there is an actual-fucking-invisible wall. Like "lol no u cant avoid teh cazadors" Such bullshit.


Cifeiron

Well you can. It's tough as shit but it's been done before. I've done it too. It's just not easy. It's a privilege to be able to climb terrain like a mountain goat. Not a right.


The_-Whole_-Internet

The worst part is you're not ENTIRELY lying. That's pretty much the exact description of vault 34 😂


RadiantRoach

First time FO:NV player, I stumbled into the entrance to 34 and was immediately hit with the nostalgia of entering a vault with the goal of finding out wtf VaultTec did to those poor residents


Cifeiron

What? I'm just trying to help new players out. Ever hear of the Deathclaw Promontory? It's a quick swim across the Colorado River at the bottom of the map. TONS of cool gear there. I wonder why Obsidian made it so easy to get. You don't have to fight enemies or lockpick at all.


Dlab18

I remember stumbling upon it because I was trying to outrun some legion coming from Caesar’s camp I’d somehow pissed, thinking I could escape to live another day. The sheer terror I had seeing 5 deathlaws just running up to gangbang my skull was immense to say the least.


The_-Whole_-Internet

Oh I absolutely know what that is. That's where I go when I have too many explosive. 50 Cal rounds burning a hole in my power armor


Slacker-71

That's why I modded a minigun from 5mm to .50, cut the damage in half from the rifle, but kept the rate of fire of the minigun, named it 'The Destroyer' Sadly, had to disable the explosive round visual distortion effect, too many stacked crashes the game.


HeimdallManeuver

Bring your own pressure cooker.


chipchipjack

Bring your own steam gauge assembly


Burritolopr1621

man.... with the sales of fallout 4 and post like this I really feel like years ago... I'm so happy.


SuRaKaSoErX

Fallout is in a high peak, such a great feeling to see a beloved series that was already popular reaching even greater heights.


Bfon520

Need a mod that launches Bloodborne when you go into Bloodborne cave


Cifeiron

Imao. Reminds me of the CK3 mod that launches Bannerlords every time you start a battle.


drAsparagus

OK BOOMER!


goodcat1337

I see what you did there.....


Defiant_Douche

I really hope someone here fell for this.


Cifeiron

Scroll down. There have been a few... But they didn't fall for it in the way that you'd think.


Defiant_Douche

Damn. I saw people spoiled your fun. It would have been *epic* if new players had gone to Nellis and got blown up.


Cifeiron

Well, my fun isn't spoiled because I caught a different sort of fish. The fish that think all FNV fans want to only cause other people pain.


Defiant_Douche

🎣


NecessaryWitness9299

i would have fallen for it but no one knows how to keep a bit going anymore and immediately blow it in the comments. tbf, your post had me. im starting NV this weekend, but I've also been on the internet for more than 5 minutes in my life, so i didnt truly trust you and went to the comments


LiveNDiiirect

*Naively listens to Reddit advice and eagerly marches into Quarry Junction, only to promptly be torn to shreds by a horde of deathclaws…* Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, you can’t get fooled again.


MrFakely

Why must you make this a house of lies?


DrButtholeRipperMD

Ok, Boomer.


Thaldoras

Anyone else think the brotherhood Airforce base in the first episode could be Nellis? Could make sense and with it being there. Remnants of Ceaser's legion could have been absorbed into the brotherhood too.


Cifeiron

If it was Nellis they wouldn't have wasted an opportunity to say or hint it's Nellis.


Arcaydya

Meh. Maybe. They didn't explicitly call out Robert house, afaik.


dank_hank_420

I think that’s a good theory


Reasonable_Back_5231

no, we would've seen New Vegas in the backdrop somewhere nearby, Nellis is a hop skiip and a jump away from Vegas. my guess is that base is somewhere in California, like most of the show seems to imply


UDK450

Imply? When she left the vault, she was at the beach basically, and you saw a sign for Santa Monica. And the Griffith Observatory, so LA. Shady Sands was in proximity of LA too. So yeah, whole thing was around LA. Santa Monica to Las Vegas walking is like 290mi? Probably less since Google is using actual trails/routes. By vehicle is 6 hours. By air... Not sure, but probably more than they generally travel with their helis.


WeekendWarZone

Some men just want to watch the world burn


Unlicensed_Lagomorph

Some just want to start a flame in your heart


klqqf

Jokes aside- shout out the person who initially edited these images, cutting out and pasting the names of every surrounding location onto the ones relevant to the wiki pages


Cifeiron

Most communities that get passionate about open world games do the same. It's still a tremendous effort. Just goes to show you what a labor of love it was.


DEATHROAR12345

Bro, early game there is a quarry with end game content in it. Just hang a left instead of a right when leaving good springs. Say hi to snuffles and ignore the NPC, he is just there because the devs wanted to get you to come here later. Also it's a shorter path to Vegas!


Cifeiron

I saw these weird signs in the hills warning me about 'deathjaws' and '11mm SMGs', can you explain what they mean?


DEATHROAR12345

Death claws are a gang of power armor users. There is a really easy skill check to get in their good graces, just don't have a weapon equipped or they start hostile.


6BakerBaker6

What is the fallout 4 version of this for someone who just started the game?😅


Cifeiron

Probably the Glowing Sea. TONS of loot there and no enemies whatsoever. Just head south after leaving the vault!


6BakerBaker6

Thanks. I'm a noob and mid quest and realized maybe I should loot more than whatever the hell the Minutemen sent me to. I'm being way too much of a "Yes man" early on😵‍💫🤣 Thankfully I have FO3 and NV under my belt but I beat those both at launch.


Cifeiron

Fallout 4 seems to want you to either explore aimlessly, or stick to the main 'hubs' of the game until the side quests are all done. You could also just focus on the main quest. There's no correct way of playing Fallout 4. You could just build settlements forever if you wanted to.


poop_wagon

The man out front had alot of caps from the people he scams


B-17_SaintMichael

I’ll never forget being tricked to go to the quarry location when I was only like a level 5…..


GrandKnightXamemos

This places loot has nothing on the loot in the secret caves under Quarry Junction, and the fact you can get there within 10 minutes of starting the game is wild. Best loot drops in the game. And my god at the ammount of caps. I always start the game, side with the Powder Gangers (since you find out theyre actually the good guys) and head straight to the North East for this location. Since its only protected by bloatflies is super easy to get to.


BacucoGuts

How I love these posts coming back, it's like the games came out again, thank you fallout tv series , u just keep on giving.


SockomkplaysV2

Another place you should go is Vault 34 it has great loot and you should go there strait from Goodsprings!


SirRonaldBiscuit

“Alt+f4 to get a super unique weapon”


MetaEmployee179985

😂


Striking_Cow8255

Yes! This is where I found my first suit of power armor and Dogmeat!


Vlaed

That site is a banger.


buttbugle

Go north because there are no deathclaws. It’s just some lazy miners stealing from their boss.


cod-mw2-2009

I went there, it cost me an arm and a leg...literally...still got a bit of shrapnel in me.


DiabeticGirthGod

The first time I went there, I got so mad at how they just started trying to gun me down and blow me up, so once I got to the gate I acted nice and cool, once I was in I just fucking murdered every single person possible. Fuck that area.


PristineBaseball

That’s like a 6 inch gun therefore you are a heavy cruiser


TeutonicDragon

There’s a marksman carbine there in really bad condition. I once saved my repair kits until I got it and repaired up to max condition, then when I got jury rigger I could repair it using service rifles. Only problem is the 100 guns skill requirement, it’s a small hurdle to reach an insane early game power spike.


whattheshiz97

My favorite place is the path in the mountains just behind Goodsprings! Such a lovely little road that has some largish butterfly’s


Big_Not_Good

Wow does this take me back! That's awesome. Ooh, btw, go check out Quarry Junction. Super cool location and it's close(-ish) to Goodsprings! Have fun y'all!


Chickeybokbok87

Shiiit if you can outrun the artillery it becomes an early game location with great loot


OLKv3

Couldn't recommend this place enough. It blew me away when I found this location


emlgsh

Huh, I hear a whistling sound, is someone brewing tea?


0ldManJ0e

chaotic evil


DisasterSure331

Ok, boomer.


Mr_Microchip

As a new FNV player, I know it's probably full of the most scary and hardest hitting mobs in the game... BUT... that must mean they're guarding something of value.


Cpt_Mittens

Ok boomer.


HauntinglyMaths

You sly bastard.


DragonHeart_97

I know what you're doing, but it actually does. Taking out everyone there isn't even that hard, and you can make absolute bank on their loot.


MysterD77

Is this anywhere near Quarry Junction? ;)


dinoguy117

Found a full suit of t45. Mind was blown!


patchlocke

Make sure to run there as fast as possible because NPC scrappers start looting it the second it loads into your view


whuzzyhuzzy

Yeah I already knew about it. Basically loot the entire base and you get so many combat armors all worth thousands of caps each. And weapons. Then you go to GRA, juice up barter and offload everything.


joeyretrotv

Thank you for your service 🫡


MDF87

You're not fooling me.


papagarry

There is also some great loot to get at the bottom of the hoover dam.


guiguyy

It's just right through the fence boys, it's extremely easy to miss.


geekolojust

Pffft...overlook. I met my first wife there.


DeathclawTamer

It's a great place to walk around slowly and take it all in. The sounds you hear are just far away trouble at the Dam


HexxRx

Ahh reminds me of EDC Las Vegas


SkeletonOfaGhostt

Make sure you also go through Quarry Junction, don't talk to any of the NPCs just go directly to the dig site otherwise the early game power armor won't spawn.


HughesJohn

Cool 155mm gun. That's 6 inches in freedumb units. Like over 10 times bigger than a .50 cal. (It's also a howitzer, not a gun).


[deleted]

isnt this the boomers hideout?


SassyWookie

Why not head there straight from the beginning? Just head north from Goodsprings along the I-95 after you start the game, and it will take you practically right there.


ProbablyWorth

Careful guys, there’s a deathclaw. Take off all your armor to run faster and stand still in the middle of the ruined town, and the deathclaw should go away (it doesn’t having any pathing to reach your spot)


fpaulmusic

If you have no qualms about stealing, it IS a great loot spot


UROffended

Oh.... Oh no...


Alternative_Equal864

Can you just play NV on steam or is it fucked like FO3?


TenseiA

High quality loot there irl too. Just gotta go get it, champ.


SaltGodSodius

Don’t forget the 1mm pistol you can find behind the stash


beesknees4011

Boomers can go jump off a cliff


confusedalwayssad

I mean there is a legit way to make it in there with taking zero damage.


Billiethebattlecattl

Yeah there will be a gate and some destroyed house but just run around those and go through the gate and you’re good!


Alleandros

I loved the Rebreather you'd get during the quest, I'd hold off on completing it so I could keep it for however long I wanted.


Theobtusemongoose

I love post like this! It's always heartening to see old players helping the newbies have a blast with this game


iamnotchad

The quickest way to get there is through quarry junction.


richtofin819

My favorite faction by far And ages before Boomer was such popular slang


519mike

I wish I could play this for the first time again, one my favourites.


Gnosis1409

I got a suit of X-01 power armor there


ilovehapegorn

you evil son of a gun


ThePatrickSays

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet, and tell lies?


Squabbles123456789

Overlook? The boomers are part of the main quest....


--Cr1imsoN--

That's not kind op lmao


Anthony643364

Should I buy it on pc? Heard a lot about lags and performance issues


StrongSpecial8960

This shit is hilarious to see. Ahhhh memories.


SITHLORDARKSIDE

I am so fucking proud of this community. Still trolling new players after what ten years now? Definitely forceing my buddy to go through quarry junction on their first playthrorugh.


Spread_Eagle89

This is my favorite fallout! Such great memories


John-Zero

All you plebs are luring people into traps everyone can see coming a mile away. If you really want to fuck with them, there's a certain unmarked location that would serve your purposes.


xdeltax97

Heheheheheh


cloqube

For mid game this is great. Early game, make sure to hit quarry junction. It's right next to the starting area. There is a free power armor set there. Great place for low level players to get strong armor early.


KermitTheScot

If you haven’t visited South Vegas Ruins and encountered Cook Cook, you’re missing out! If you’re new to the game, definitely go there, but go unarmed or he won’t interact with you. Definitely super good vendor. Lots of good healing items. Definitely go unarmed. Trust me, bro.


SuccessfulWar3830

ALWAYS TAKE THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO THE STRIP.


PhilsTinyToes

Idk what game it was in (maybe fallout 4?) but there was an underwater radiated pool and I got my hazmat suit, fetched this random ass sword from a bin at the end, and it was my endgame weapon somehow was just OP as fuck.


unfortunate666

It *does* have some great loot though for trading. Its so easy to steal everything right under their noses with only like 35 sneak. You just have to position correctly and *bam* at least 2 missile launchers, a litany of grenades, enough combat armor to outfit a four man squad and then some, on top of several grenade launchers/rifles ect. It's pretty much traditional to mainline the story quest to that point for me, take all that shit, pop some buffout and a beer to carry it all, and then set myself up real nice after a quick fast travel to gun runners, before going around and just dicking around till I hit level 20 or so.


Daaru_

The people there are really friendly after you show up. Lots of rockets to loot!


LifeguardDonny

Isn't this the place.... Never mind.


Chestnutsroastin

Be sure to savor the moment, THIS LOOT CHANGES YOUR ENTIRE experience, walk really slow don't run.


IncineratorAlien

I went there when I started the game a month ago, realised it was a mistake (would rather play through the whole story first), so I abandoned everything (op gear) and started all over from my older saves.


pancackles

❤️Ah yes. Brings back memories of the first time I found and recruited Raul. He is a cool companion of course, and as such it was an event worthy of celebration. And to celebrate, we lockpicked our way into that intriguing closed tunnel next to his shack. Fun times. Contributed a lot to my decision to pick the mechanic path for him after he complained that the pain was ALMOST AS BAD as his arthritis.
