No fucking kidding, if you were one of thoes BOS grunts you'd be shitting your pants. But if you were that NCR trooper that was about to be shwacked, you were probably as happy as you could ever be in your life. Especially seeing as someone just smoked two guys who were virtually invincible to everything short of a missle or in this case, anti material rounds.
When the literal only advantage you have against the NCR gets folded like it doesn't exist, you start to realise that maybe having numbers on your side would've been a better idea after all.
You were hit for no damage You were hit for no damage You were hit for no damage You've been critically hit for 999 dmg in the head by Veteran NCR Ranger
Super Mutant ranger is a thing. People need to realize that Super Mutants have known to be integrating into NCR, hence why there are anti-mutants voice in NCR Lobby.
@@RayleeRaven574 Maybe, but if your with someone waring that same PA and see your buddy's reinforced tank like helmet blow off you that would be the feeling your next after him, it's still scary feeling.
Paladin, not a knight, if any of the soldiers we see are knights, its the ones without any pre war armor. The pre war combat armor are likely initiates. And the ones in PA are Paladins. On the west coast Paladins are fighters, knights are engineers and mechanics.
Always loved that some of the vetran rangers were ghouls. Makes sense given that they can live for so long. Even if they were born post war they could still be half a century+ old.
It would track as a bunch of ncr veteran rangers in game are ghouls probably soldiers from the old world that became ghouls giving them hundreds of years of combat experience making them probably in lore some of the most dangerous people in the wasteland aside from main characters
The wealth of strategic and tactical knowledge that dates back to prewar probably makes most of these ghoul veteran rangers untouchable. They are the same flesh and blood as any other trooper, but their knowledge of themselves, their enemy, and available options at their disposal make them like vengeful ghosts of the desert. There probably ain't shit they haven't seen.
I think the Veteran Ranger Leader just became my favorite character. He and his boys exude so much power and badassery. And I felt the punch of each of the rounds as the punched through the helmets of those Paladins.
The Veteran Rangers are my favorite group in Fallout. People like different factions for different reasons. I always liked the NCR simply for the Veteran Rangers. They’re bad ass and I personally think their armor is the coolest looking armor in any game I have played
Given the lore of the model, im doubtful if it should make a difference If a big bullet was all you needed, that isnt exactly hard to make. And the chinese had some very big guns. Mounted on vehicles. Update: okay it seems like a lot of people are confused as to how the military procures things and what the basic parameters they set for any projects they our right direct or later take interest in as a third party independently develops. Meaning a technology can be made, but the army will take a look at it and ask for changes to be made to fit their needs. Now this is important for arguing means of minimum armor protection. So, anti tank rifles are WW1 tech and the chinese in our own world had access to examplea of them in WW2. Which led them to create their own anti material rifles with reconizable platforms being created in 2005. So it fits for the timelime split and can be assumed that in the Fallout universe they would still make improvements and self developments in that area. So making a "big bullet" isnt secret high tech stuff. We should all be able to agree that china would make and field their own. That said, "it was meant so they could carry heavy weapons" and? The military irl would recognize the men wearing these suits would be points of focused fire as they began to open up and become a pronounced threat to the enemy. It doesnt take a military genius to guess what the enemy would shoot these suits or armor with Any and all armor piercing and anti tank weapons Now of course, there are limitations. So the idea wouldnt be to be entirely immune, however there would be "immunity zones" at distances against certain weapons. Mainly man portable light anti armor weapons. You can bet your as that anti tank rifles would be on that list. "But they didnt have em" BULL, of course they would, why wouldnt they? Why wouldnt they have any anti armor? Does it need to be specifically stated that the armies did the basic things an army would do? What i am saying are not things you need to take a leap of faith to believe. Im not saying they were super genuises that thought of everything, no only that they would account for the bare minimum as they would. This includes the shock that would be experienced by being hit, hence the hydraulics on the FRAME being the thing to eat that so their neck or bones wouldnt break on impacts. Or be jellified on the inside. A 14.5mm (.50 cal is 12.7) AP penetrates 40mm (50 mm being 2 inches) of armor steel at 100 meters, FLAT. Now, the helmets, realistically would probably be closer to 2 inches towards the forehead and front cheekk and around the cranium, thinning around the side cheeks and rear. I do not think its crazy to say these helmets would have similar size porportions as to a Spartan 2s helmet. So theres space for that, and those helmets are that think This doesnt include the benefits of them being round. Not saying its impossible, but there wpuld be a minimum distance and the shot would need to be flush. And VERY spicy at that

I don’t think I can overstate how disastrous this is for the brotherhood, not only do they now have to contend with getting picked off by the anti-material rifles, but they didn’t even get to finish off the AT team. Once the NCR refocuses and takes out the sentry bots they’ll have gone from being bombarded behind a defensive line to being bombarded in the open. At this point all they could do is retreat back to their lines and be back at square one, or sacrifice the bots and try and break through one of the flanks and bail all together
The last thing that could help them is reinforcements coming but they would surely be rookies with T-45 armor that would be easily eliminated. They already lost
I don't know if anyone else noticed but some of the Veteran Rangers have very hoarse-sounding voices, just like ghouls. If this is the case, this is canonically accurate because in FNV a lot of the Veteran Rangers are ghouls in-game and its evens stated that many of the ones that "were chasing ghosts in Baja" are ghouls. It would put the fear of god in any Paladin to fight a man who has lived long enough to have shaken hands with the likes of Roger Maxson.
I imagine a pre war ghoul with US military experience that’s survived 200 years after the bombs dropped and is now a veteran ranger is just about the most deadly man in any situation
Im not saying you are wrong. But where does it say most Veteran Rangers are ghouls? In fact when I loot dead Rangers (That the legion killed) They are all human.
@@Wesley-1776 "A noticeable number of Veteran Rangers are ghouls, appearing randomly wherever other Veteran Rangers are stationed. This is in contrast to normal Rangers, where the only ghoul members seen in the game are limited to three ghoul Rangers at Ranger Station Echo and at Camp Golf." Taken straight out of the game wiki.
@@danbackslide2957it would be even more deadly if the ghoul is already familiar with situations like the Master and the Enclave and even took part in defeating them. (This is me being imaginative and may be inaccurate as I haven't played Fallout 1 and 2)
The other paladin looking down at the dead one by his side, realizing he was now no longer immune to incoming gunfire must've been a hell of a panicking thing. "Oh. I'm dead."

At that moment old lady Gipson was just sitting on a chair and looking at this fight through binoculars, not forgetting to pet the dogs, and on the table there was a radio with music: Jingle Jangle Jingle
Popped their heads like a rotten tomato. God damn fucking beautiful Also those BoS troopers are definitely getting shredded without their Paladin cover
@@Theholdguard The inept NCR lost so many people for the facility they don't even know how to use,that they became permanently crippled and stretched thin in the Mojave.So much so their troops are attriting hard by just defending from the Legion,Fiends and powder gangers.Without the courier's help they would scatter to the winds...
To the BoS, this is a fight for life and death that can quickly go to hell in a heartbeat, To the NCR Rangers, this is a unique training exercise Edit: The worse part for the BoS (from what Sodaz shared in his profile community page) the main force is still ignorantly pushing forward and the decoy squad will draw them even further into a ATM rifle killzone. Not a good day for the BoS.
0:13 nice touch on the super mutant NCR trooper, in the game there was supposed to be a super mutant Ranger named chauncey stationed at foxtrot he has voice lines and everything you can put him back into the game through mods and console commands. Also 1 or 2 of the rangers have voices that sound like a ghouls which makes sense in the game you see a ton of ghoul rangers like at ranger station echo hell the majority of veteran rangers tend to be ghouls. Neat reference to the lore on how parts of the NCR views super mutants and ghouls
Yeah, those rounds are turning everything they meet inside that armour to red jelly. I pity whoever has to recover and clean those suits out after this fight.
The BOS are definitely able to take the NCR in a war they’ve been fighting each other for years at this point. This time the BOS loses next time they’ll win. I love both of these factions because to me it’s a perfect example of quality vs quantity. I also like just how well the animation displays that.
@@stranger5675 It's the difference between Rome and Epirus. One side might have better tech, troops, and leaders, but those Romans (NCR) can replenish their numbers easy.
The BoS can't win protracted siege battles where the NCR can bring their numbers and resources to bear. Father Elias made a mistake trying to take and hold Helios.
For people surprised by the Super Mutant being with the NCR, after the fall of the Master. Many super mutants were left bereft of purpose and goal. Many did like Marcus and created their own independent community, others just wander the wastes aimlessly, Nightkins often gather together to find Stealthboys or have lost their minds altogether, like the one near Novac, in some instances, some super mutants find themselves integrating within the NCR. Generally speaking, Ghouls are at best tolerated by the NCR, super mutants, even less, so being in the army is pretty much their only options, though they'll be kept mostly on the frontiers, essentially, out of sight, out of mind, so it works out for both parties, mutants get a purpose and the population don't have to deal with them. The brass may not like having mutants in their ranks, but their value as shock troops or their lengthy experience in warfare is invaluable, so they'll give lip service about it, but will rarely do anything about it because they're too valuable, basically, typical politician move, say something, do the opposite. As for the Rangers, they are an independent branch of the NCR military, they can recruit whoever they want as long as they make the cut, Ghouls are often part of their ranks due to their experience before the Great War until this point and in some instances, Super Mutant can also make the cut, though it's usually the smarter ones that do, first gen, as 2nd gen aren't all that bright, they make for great shock troops but that's about it, kinda like the Ogryns from 40K.
Power Armor is good and all, But AP .50 Cal is like a fucking can opener to that thing, I bet that's what the Chinese Soldiers used to combat mechanized American Troops before the bombs fell.
I remember playing operation Anchorage, and in the last mission they used an EMP field to take out the American power armored soldiers. Although, it is stated that the whole operation was possible just made up, so take it with a grain of salt.
@@KriegerChristi everything you see is absolutely made up to make the General or colonel or whatever look good but there's grains of truth to telling a lie about a real event.
About 18 years ago I studied playwrighting. One of the most interesting concepts is one that I only selectively remember, and it was something like the TPRR scene. This scene wasn't the climax of the play, but rather an earlier scene that sets up the climax as inevitable. It's an odd and not universal concept, but the classic example is that in Hamlet, if the climax is the play within the play and the massacre that follows, the TPRR scene is when Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius while the usurper is praying. To me, this is the TPRR scene of the battle of Helios 1. We all knew the outcome going into this, and so we knew what the deciding factor would be well before this video was made. And yet the sheer artistry of this series still makes it feel like a gut punch when we see helmet and duster clad NCR Rangers shoot a round through power armor like it's explosive fucking butter. We are so lucky to live in a time when fans can create art like this.
My headcanon of some of the characters: The first recon leader is likely Gorobets, the Major leading the NCR is either Knight or Royez before he was a colonel. Colonel Moore but I think it’s obvious. As for the Paladins, I think the skull one is Harding and the red strip is MacNamara.
love your animations my dude and I love seeing these animations! I love the atmosphere and the way you catch battle sequences. I'm also using the tension and feeling of your animations to help make battle feel more realistic in my story. Thank you dude!
Just a friendly reminder, the NCR Rangers, formelly knewed as the Desert Rangers, were just a group of survivor communities who occupied most of Nevada and Arizona after the bombs fell, due to Caesar's Legion, being significally outnumbered, they agreed to being annexed to the NCR nation. According to Tycho and his descriptions of the Desert Rangers in Fallout 1, they are nothing more than highly trained individuals in hand to hand and armed combat and survival skills.
"Those NCR Rangers really show what it means to be hardened by the wasteland. Their coordination and tactical experience are unmatched! Operation Sunburst and the NCR-Brotherhood War history in California showed just how well they could handle advanced tech opponents like the Brotherhood. With that deadly accuracy of the anti-materiel rifle and troopers providing cover fire to keep those flanks secure, the Brotherhood didn’t stand a chance. This was NCR’s finest proving that they could adapt, survive, and outlast any enemy in the Mojave." -Some NCR hardliners who don't accept the fate of NCR in fallout TV
@@limecatcher1482 Theres a fallout TV show, and its honestly pretty good, a lot of people just hate it because they screw the NCR from what I'm seeing online. Kinda a shame because I thought it was an enjoyable watch.
Man, I've been following you since the Halo short videos and I've always hated how it always ended with a cliffhanger. But knowing how good your videos end up once they're complete keeps me excited.
Maybe, assumung the NCR put the same amount or quality of powder into their .30 cal rounds as in 7.62 NATO rounds. Not to mention you have to assume that kind of information comes from optimal condition tests, fall off would mean that after say. 100 yards at an oblec angle, T-51 would be able to withstand the 2500 Joules of energy from a .30 cal round, again assuming NCR ammunition has the same powder load as pre war rounds.
@@Wesley-1776 or it has to do with the fact that the writers have absolutely no concept of how armor works, since this would make *power armor* weaker than standard body armor, meaning its an utterly useless invention. "Oh good he can lift heavy weapons, shame he has to stand there in the open to use them where even a basic rifle with standard AP rounds can punch through it."
@@AngelDyne that’s fair enough. I stand by the fact that the 2500 joules thing can be hand waved away as “we took this shot at the absolute perfect conditions to ensure penetration.” But that was the weakest point of the armor at point blank with no angling at all. And under any realistic combat condition it would rarely if ever happen. Something something 7.62x54r can penetrate the side of an M113 technically speaking.
Damn, I don’t now what magic but even just this short clip projects the power of those Anti-Material Rifles. I’m loving this series. The blend of sound effects, the smooth animation, the voice acting? It’s beautiful. Guess we are coming to end, I await to see what’s next.

Once the NCR refocuses and takes out the sentry bots they’ll have gone from being bombarded behind a defensive line to being bombarded in the open. At this point all they could do is retreat back to their lines and be back at square one, or sacrifice the bots and try and break through one of the flanks and bail all together
Considering the events in Fallout: New Vegas they choose the latter option but regardless the causalities would be bitter either way
The last thing that could help them is reinforcements coming but they would surely be rookies with T-45 armor that would be easily eliminated. They already lost
The Brotherhood has no choice. They must break out, and must do so now, or they will be destroyed.
@@antitroller101 You could say that the casualties would be like a... bitter spring.
Don't hate me for the pun. I already hate myself for making it.
@@mortemtyrannus8813that pun was so bad it gave me the blues.

The custom decals on the ranger armor is a great touch. Love the character designs overall.
Some of these rangers have been serving for decades, it makes sense they'd personalize to remeber achievements or just to spruce up the look
@kamenmaximus possibly for centuries since ncr soldiers have ghouls and supers in their ranks!
I don't know if anyone else noticed but some of the Veteran Rangers have very hoarse-sounding voices, just like ghouls. If this is the case, this is canonically accurate because in FNV a lot of the Veteran Rangers are ghouls in-game and its evens stated that many of the ones that "were chasing ghosts in Baja" are ghouls. It would put the fear of god in any Paladin to fight a man who has lived long enough to have shaken hands with the likes of Roger Maxson.
I imagine a pre war ghoul with US military experience that’s survived 200 years after the bombs dropped and is now a veteran ranger is just about the most deadly man in any situation
Im not saying you are wrong. But where does it say most Veteran Rangers are ghouls? In fact when I loot dead Rangers (That the legion killed) They are all human.
@@Wesley-1776 "A noticeable number of Veteran Rangers are ghouls, appearing randomly wherever other Veteran Rangers are stationed. This is in contrast to normal Rangers, where the only ghoul members seen in the game are limited to three ghoul Rangers at Ranger Station Echo and at Camp Golf." Taken straight out of the game wiki.
@@saopro21 Fair enough, most just be my luck or something.
@@danbackslide2957it would be even more deadly if the ghoul is already familiar with situations like the Master and the Enclave and even took part in defeating them. (This is me being imaginative and may be inaccurate as I haven't played Fallout 1 and 2)

The other paladin looking down at the dead one by his side, realizing he was now no longer immune to incoming gunfire must've been a hell of a panicking thing. "Oh. I'm dead."

Ya ever think about how while all this was happening Old Lady Gibson is like a mile down the road with her dogs?
At that moment old lady Gipson was just sitting on a chair and looking at this fight through binoculars, not forgetting to pet the dogs, and on the table there was a radio with music: Jingle Jangle Jingle
Yeah, sure that it was a amazing view from the dino delitttle
Popped their heads like a rotten tomato. God damn fucking beautiful
Also those BoS troopers are definitely getting shredded without their Paladin cover
Look up the lore and you will see who got shredded😎
@@TheStormtrooper00well,its the BOS who got shredded
@@Theholdguard The inept NCR lost so many people for the facility they don't even know how to use,that they became permanently crippled and stretched thin in the Mojave.So much so their troops are attriting hard by just defending from the Legion,Fiends and powder gangers.Without the courier's help they would scatter to the winds...
@@TheStormtrooper00 true,the NCR is little too ambitious to expanding their territory,so their army became too thin because fighting on many fronts
@@TheStormtrooper00 Cool story. The Brotherhood still lost.
1:02 That guy will have one hell of a story if he survives
„Nice armor, only two problems.. this is an anti-material rifle…. And you’re made out of material“

Finally its here.
Leave it up to Sodaz to make a lore accurate fallout battle.
“Let’s get to work”
The professionalism is great. Just a day in the office for the NCR elites…
To the BoS, this is a fight for life and death that can quickly go to hell in a heartbeat,
To the NCR Rangers, this is a unique training exercise
Edit: The worse part for the BoS (from what Sodaz shared in his profile community page) the main force is still ignorantly pushing forward and the decoy squad will draw them even further into a ATM rifle killzone. Not a good day for the BoS.
Babe wake up SODAZ just posted
0:13 nice touch on the super mutant NCR trooper, in the game there was supposed to be a super mutant Ranger named chauncey stationed at foxtrot he has voice lines and everything you can put him back into the game through mods and console commands.
Also 1 or 2 of the rangers have voices that sound like a ghouls which makes sense in the game you see a ton of ghoul rangers like at ranger station echo hell the majority of veteran rangers tend to be ghouls. Neat reference to the lore on how parts of the NCR views super mutants and ghouls
I am a grown ass man, and this made me giggle with glee. Absolutely love your stuff Sodaz.
When an anti material rifle is shown to be a real anti material rifle, it is so nice.
Great work
Me watching this, knowing it’s 9:47 P.M. where I’m at and I need to be up somewhat early tomorrow: “Yeah, I got time.”
BoS: we have walking tanks
NCR: *5 veteran rangers show up with big iron energy*
BoS: We’re cooked.
1:03 the amount of fear that this trooper must have felt at this moment is unparalleled
Probably not as much fear as the BoS infantry felt at 1:22
You can say this part was mindblowing.

Yeah, those rounds are turning everything they meet inside that armour to red jelly. I pity whoever has to recover and clean those suits out after this fight.
Actually, that would be some poor NCR trooper, since they took all these to use for their heavy troopers.
Is so satisfied to see paladin T-51's power armor go down just like that.
One dude can make good Fallout movie and whole Bethesda x Moviemakers can't handle one good season of Serial.
This speaks for itself.
The brotherhoods first mistake was thinking they could go to war with the NCR.
Their first mistake was not accepting more outsiders.
The BOS are definitely able to take the NCR in a war they’ve been fighting each other for years at this point. This time the BOS loses next time they’ll win. I love both of these factions because to me it’s a perfect example of quality vs quantity. I also like just how well the animation displays that.
@@stranger5675 It's the difference between Rome and Epirus. One side might have better tech, troops, and leaders, but those Romans (NCR) can replenish their numbers easy.
The BoS can't win protracted siege battles where the NCR can bring their numbers and resources to bear.
Father Elias made a mistake trying to take and hold Helios.
@@Peaches-i2i "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined."
Don't have much but you deserve it.
For people surprised by the Super Mutant being with the NCR, after the fall of the Master. Many super mutants were left bereft of purpose and goal. Many did like Marcus and created their own independent community, others just wander the wastes aimlessly, Nightkins often gather together to find Stealthboys or have lost their minds altogether, like the one near Novac, in some instances, some super mutants find themselves integrating within the NCR. Generally speaking, Ghouls are at best tolerated by the NCR, super mutants, even less, so being in the army is pretty much their only options, though they'll be kept mostly on the frontiers, essentially, out of sight, out of mind, so it works out for both parties, mutants get a purpose and the population don't have to deal with them. The brass may not like having mutants in their ranks, but their value as shock troops or their lengthy experience in warfare is invaluable, so they'll give lip service about it, but will rarely do anything about it because they're too valuable, basically, typical politician move, say something, do the opposite.
As for the Rangers, they are an independent branch of the NCR military, they can recruit whoever they want as long as they make the cut, Ghouls are often part of their ranks due to their experience before the Great War until this point and in some instances, Super Mutant can also make the cut, though it's usually the smarter ones that do, first gen, as 2nd gen aren't all that bright, they make for great shock troops but that's about it, kinda like the Ogryns from 40K.
Love how the red from his visor shine through the binoculars. You cam even see the red disappear as he pulls them away. Very nice touch
Power Armor is good and all, But AP .50 Cal is like a fucking can opener to that thing, I bet that's what the Chinese Soldiers used to combat mechanized American Troops before the bombs fell.
I think their canonical answer were stealth troopers and high-calibre sniper rifles, alongside EMP grenades.
Could be wrong though.
@@youraveragescotsman7119 That would make sense as they have the stealth tech to plant a stealth sub right outside of Boston
I remember playing operation Anchorage, and in the last mission they used an EMP field to take out the American power armored soldiers. Although, it is stated that the whole operation was possible just made up, so take it with a grain of salt.
@@KriegerChristi I mean lore-wise it's literally a sim made by americans
@@KriegerChristi everything you see is absolutely made up to make the General or colonel or whatever look good but there's grains of truth to telling a lie about a real event.
Absolutely love the personal markings on the different rangers, adds to the immersion
About 18 years ago I studied playwrighting. One of the most interesting concepts is one that I only selectively remember, and it was something like the TPRR scene. This scene wasn't the climax of the play, but rather an earlier scene that sets up the climax as inevitable. It's an odd and not universal concept, but the classic example is that in Hamlet, if the climax is the play within the play and the massacre that follows, the TPRR scene is when Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius while the usurper is praying.
To me, this is the TPRR scene of the battle of Helios 1. We all knew the outcome going into this, and so we knew what the deciding factor would be well before this video was made.
And yet the sheer artistry of this series still makes it feel like a gut punch when we see helmet and duster clad NCR Rangers shoot a round through power armor like it's explosive fucking butter. We are so lucky to live in a time when fans can create art like this.
It's all fun and games until the desert ranger brings out an anti-material rifle
Thanks!
Every time the Sodaz notification pops up I can’t help but get excited! Hype af. This is the real fallout. Not whatever slop BGS cooks up.
plz don't burn yourself out take breaks everybody wants to see you make videos for a loooong time
My headcanon of some of the characters:
The first recon leader is likely Gorobets, the Major leading the NCR is either Knight or Royez before he was a colonel. Colonel Moore but I think it’s obvious. As for the Paladins, I think the skull one is Harding and the red strip is MacNamara.
love your animations my dude and I love seeing these animations! I love the atmosphere and the way you catch battle sequences. I'm also using the tension and feeling of your animations to help make battle feel more realistic in my story. Thank you dude!
The V-CAM work is outstanding - really makes you *feel* the impact of the shots and the weight of the paladins in their power armor.
That Ranger pose though!
finally❤❤
Thank you @SODAZ! Amazing work! I was just watching part 15 and see this uploaded 3 minutes ago!
Just a friendly reminder, the NCR Rangers, formelly knewed as the Desert Rangers, were just a group of survivor communities who occupied most of Nevada and Arizona after the bombs fell, due to Caesar's Legion, being significally outnumbered, they agreed to being annexed to the NCR nation. According to Tycho and his descriptions of the Desert Rangers in Fallout 1, they are nothing more than highly trained individuals in hand to hand and armed combat and survival skills.
They also take ghouls as they have centuries of experience in warfare, and super mutants too. They are the best of the NCR.
The sound of that guy in power armor falling is so meaty.
"Those NCR Rangers really show what it means to be hardened by the wasteland. Their coordination and tactical experience are unmatched! Operation Sunburst and the NCR-Brotherhood War history in California showed just how well they could handle advanced tech opponents like the Brotherhood. With that deadly accuracy of the anti-materiel rifle and troopers providing cover fire to keep those flanks secure, the Brotherhood didn’t stand a chance. This was NCR’s finest proving that they could adapt, survive, and outlast any enemy in the Mojave."

@@limecatcher1482 Theres a fallout TV show, and its honestly pretty good, a lot of people just hate it because they screw the NCR from what I'm seeing online. Kinda a shame because I thought it was an enjoyable watch.

Hamburger meat.
“When I died, they washed me out of the helmet with a hose.”
This is so much better than the fallout tv show. It shows both the NCR and Brotherhood in their full glory.
Nothing like a SODAZ vid just before a night of work!😎👍
*Brotherhood Knights roll up*

*Rangers show up*

Paladin, not a knight, The knights are likely the ones without any actual armor.
Didn’t even hesitate when I saw the notif
Every release gets me more hyped
We’re so back NCRbros
This must be a bad day for the paladins. They have turned from human tanks to slow moving target practice.
In steel cans for shooting practice you meant
Biblically accurate veteran rangers my beloved
0:42 Shut up everybody, he hit the pose
Cant wait to see how they take out the sentry bots. Thinking they will target the fusion cores and have them explode
Awesome. Also a reminder that power armor can withstand up until 2500 joules. The M14 rifle would drop them too.
Maybe, assumung the NCR put the same amount or quality of powder into their .30 cal rounds as in 7.62 NATO rounds.
Not to mention you have to assume that kind of information comes from optimal condition tests, fall off would mean that after say. 100 yards at an oblec angle, T-51 would be able to withstand the 2500 Joules of energy from a .30 cal round, again assuming NCR ammunition has the same powder load as pre war rounds.
@@Wesley-1776 or it has to do with the fact that the writers have absolutely no concept of how armor works, since this would make *power armor* weaker than standard body armor, meaning its an utterly useless invention. "Oh good he can lift heavy weapons, shame he has to stand there in the open to use them where even a basic rifle with standard AP rounds can punch through it."
@@AngelDyne that’s fair enough. I stand by the fact that the 2500 joules thing can be hand waved away as “we took this shot at the absolute perfect conditions to ensure penetration.” But that was the weakest point of the armor at point blank with no angling at all. And under any realistic combat condition it would rarely if ever happen. Something something 7.62x54r can penetrate the side of an M113 technically speaking.
1:23 - "It was at this moment, they knew, they fucked up"
A super mutant detail is awesome! Nice to see someone mentioning Tandi's policies.
One shot, one kill.
Damn, I don’t now what magic but even just this short clip projects the power of those Anti-Material Rifles. I’m loving this series.
The blend of sound effects, the smooth animation, the voice acting? It’s beautiful.
Guess we are coming to end, I await to see what’s next.
Bos Paladin: "Found the AT team."
Veteran NCR ranger: "Big talk for someone made out of material." ( unloads AMR)
Those steal cans won’t know what hit em.
That "it's an ambush" followed by Digital Nightmare, It's pure art.
Dude how tf are these shorts so good?
Sodaz is a badass!
Long live the NKR! Finally, I waited for it!
NCR veteran and super mutant ranger would be an iconic duo.
You ever seen a .50 cal travel at 2,707 feet per second?
No?
Neither does the SOB who got shot.
