I know coin shot is supposed to be a regular shell but with the shot replaced with a few coins, but in my head the Courier is just shoving those paper quarter rolls into his shotgun with no primer or gunpowder or anything and it somehow works.
I mean the Courier just like all the fallout protag's is a borderline superhero with Godlike powers (ability to shrug off bullets, able to stab or slash through armor, etc.) so it's not a real stretch to say they can do exactly this.
@@einar_476 Not with space remaining for enough gunpowder and primer to get any sort of meaningful velocity out of it. Plus the shells in New Vegas seem to be 2.75" shells, and Legion denarii seem to be closer to the size of quarters or even silver dollars than nickels. Or even larger if the merch is to be believed.
A fun challenge would be doing New Vegas using only the Compliance Regulator, a unique laser pistol in HH that has the KO effect on crit hits, but deals pitiful damage.
FYI the compliance regulator has no requirements. Any build can use it. I'll regularly swap between freezing a few enemies then taking them out with the Survivalists rifle
I have been thinking about that for a while, would probably make a rule that I needed to get all the uniques in the base game and use them at least once
Wouldn’t be that hard I feel you can get chances knife at the very beginning and then that gun not much after both of those will carry you thru until you can buy a better weapon
Also with 75 lock pick you can grab lucky at the bison Steve so there’s 3 uniques you can grab within a few levels of gameplay that will carry you thru most the game

I checked that out off camera. While it was a decent amount, unfortunately it was not going to be super viable in the long run, I wish it was though lol
I think it's a testament to your love of melee builds that in all your time in New Vegas, you'd not tried disassembling enough ammo to know you can't break down the non-standard varieties. Or at least the GRA varieties. You did get an NCR Ranger to breakdance at @21:13 that was neat. Also a silly suggestion: can you beat Fallout 3/4/New Vegas as the Mysterious Stranger? Hat, coat, revolvers only (preferably .44), must third-party every combat encounter you come across. Probably easiest in 4 because of the luck build type, just pop in with a VATS attack and disappear into the night.
Silly idea, probably suggested a thousand times already but "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Frank Sinatra?" Completing quests while necking bourbon and looking dapper while at it.
That's good! Frank also owned quite a few guns. Some of which I think have a close enough counterpart in NV. So: The suit, hat, Frank's guns, whiskey, and Omertas. I'd say the only gang remaining should be Omertas. Not sure who he would side with at the end. It would probably have to be a Yes-Man ending.
Are there any missions that resemble some of his movies? Casino robbery, like the original Ocean's Eleven. Or The Manchurian Candidate? I don't know his movies beyond those two, or New Vegas well enough.
@@vissenekku Maybe Dead Money? Pretty sure that's the only heist in the game + dlc. I think for factions it would be a House-ending, Sinatra worked for others as an entertainer after all.
Honestly, the best part about challenge videos like these is how they can put a magnifying glass on more niche gear/mechanics, exploring how practical they would be to incorporate or build around in a more practical playthrough-perfect for when you're looking for a reason to play through the game again.
Very strange how Vegas has so much Legion coin on stand-by in case some legionnaire strikes it rich at a casino and somehow doesn't realize gambling is outlawed by the Legion
@@Nerbit13098 I was going to mention the Great Khan armoury, something I only found out about recently...but like you I normally massacre them haha making it fruitless. Also nice TMNT reference.
This is something I love about New Vegas- it has all sorts of tiny things that I'm somehow only discovering after playing it a bajillion times. Had no idea this was an ammo type. Heck, I only found out that the pocket sand melee skill was a thing even though I've definitely done what's required to obtain it before.
Since you're following the road, I just wanna point out that there's a Hunting Shotgun at the Nuclear Test Shack, near Primm (or Nipton, can't remember), and close to the Legion Safehouse - the catch is that it's surrounded by ghouls - SO MANY GHOULS. That's the path I usually take when getting a shotgun for my build
Speaking of coins, how about "Can You Beat [insert game here] as Two-Face?" Basically, you have to flip a coin, an irl coin, to determine which decisions you'll make in the run and whether certain critical npcs get to live or die.
It's the same with super slam, you get that perk on a fast knife when you get it at level 8 and congratulations you are literally set for the rest of the game
It’s like using a bolt action sniper over a semi auto one, both do the job just fine but the click-clack of chambering the next round feels like it has more weight to it.
The moment i heard Armstrong i lost it. Watching your uncut play through of Rising made me buy because of how fun it looked and damn is it fun. Im only at Monsoon but ive loved every second of it.
Never even knew this was a thing, guess you learn something new about Fallout New Vegas every day lmao Edit: Gambo First Bet may be one of the funniest misspeaks I've ever heard and it caught me COMPLETELY off guard
Coinshot is unironicaly the best reason to become vilified by the legion as every legionary will carry some coins and they absolutely gore anything that bleeds
Seeing you go a shotgun build was very interesting, as I’ve said before I’ve never played Fallout but your videos are so damn good. When you said “Super Slam, but for shotguns,” I knew it was gunna be a hilarious play through.
Honestly Teddy would make a great Fallout run. Must use a hunting gun, must wear a suit befitting a politician, must collect every teddy bear in the game, must hunt every possible animal, except for Yao Guais because we all know Teddy's opinion on shooting bear cubs. Might be a bit difficult starting out since both attacking before acquiring a suitable weapon and running away from animal encounters are no nos.
I wouldve just bought 100 chips at a time dropped the 1 got my denari, rinse and repeat until out of money picking up the singles when done instead of making many little piles. Love your content keep up the good work
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the Chosen One? You must only use guns that were available in Fallout 2, get the Enclave power armor (and kill the remnants immediately if you want lmao), do all the Jacobstown related quests (bc of Marcus), recruit Boone (his voice actor is the same as Myron from F2) and side with the NCR
Honestly yeah waiting for the fallout 4 abraham lincoln video took up my entire week it was all I could think about also have you noticed how much more funny and lively nerbit is
I'm glad you did this run. A couple of videos back I suggested you try a run where you can beat Fallout with only money. With my idea you could have picked 3, NV, or 4 with NV only using the coin shot in NV or only using pre=-war money as ammunition in the Rock-It Launcher / Junk Jet for 3 and 4. You didn't exactly go with the money theme as I was hoping but you did go through the run with the weapon I was thinking so I'm happy! Great Video!
On an unpatched version of the game you could do the casino caps glitch where you grind up 35500 caps then turn them all into casino chips, drop said chips on the ground and then the number of chips are in the negatives, turn the chips back into the casino teller and suddenly you're able to do turn them in infinitely, which means you could hypothetically have millions of Legion Denarius
Not quite this restrictive, but this is literally my favourite FO3 run style. There are a few different mods that make it rather trivial to acquire the extant commie gear and make it half decent, especially early on, and a janky but neat faction-swap for Operation Anchorage, and playing as a commie is, like, the illogical conclusion of the satire of the Cold War. There's also a few good side quests and fun locations.
There's also the dirty chinese fatigues, the commie hat from the pitt in the abandoned apartment building and the other commie hat in operation Anchorage
I think a better challenge might be the bean bag rounds. Doesn't it only do fatigue damage? Also... day a lot asking for an exploding pants only run in any fallout
Idea for a Fallout 4 Challenge Run: "Laser Golf" Premise - In Fallout 4, there is a Legendary weapon effect called "Endless" which basically means your weapon has no maximum magazine size. This typically just means no reloading is necessary, but it has an unusual interaction with a few weapons that use non-standard magazine formats. One of these interactions is the Laser Musket. The Laser Musket must be manually loaded for each shot in the magazine, but the main feature that interacts strangely with Endless is the way it fires: every round loaded into the Musket is fired in a single shot, with the damage of the shot scaling based on the number of rounds loaded. Due to the way Endless works, this allows and Endless Laser Musket to be loaded repeatedly ad infinitum as opposed to stopping at its magazine capacity (well, it can be loaded until you have loaded every round into it anyhow), allowing for a single shot to deal up to an arbitrarily massive amount of damage. The run: somehow, some way, (mods, commands, whatever) start the game with an un-upgraded Endless Laser Musket and 1,000-5,000 rounds for it (a large but finite number). You must complete the main story of Fallout 4 (any ending), using only the Laser Musket, and you must kill every enemy you encounter (stealth is allowed but only for sneak attacks). You may only deal damage by firing the Laser Musket - no companions, grenades/mines, bashing, etc. Environmental hazards such as other enemies, hacked turrets, or environmental traps are permitted, as well as upgrading the Laser Musket and perks as long as they don't deal damage separately from the musket. You may bring companions as pack mules and cheerleaders, as long as they are somehow unable to deal damage, such as unarmed robots or modded companions (yes they can tank too, just no damage). At the end of the run, count how many rounds you consumed - lowest score wins. Speedrun optional. Caveats and edge cases: environmental allies like those present during various story quests are obviously inevitable and permitted. Grenades and other weapons are not permitted, but they may be used to complete quest steps ONLY if those steps do not require you to kill an enemy with the weapon in question (such as testing the artillery a trhe Castle). As with the weapon exception, companions required for specific steps in the main quest are also of course permitted, but must be dismissed asap. Settlement turrets and traps are also NOT permitted. The ban on non-musket weapons includes mines and grenades that summon allies (including vertibirds), affect enemy AI such as berserk effects, the Minute Men Flare Gun (except where a quest explicitly requires its use to progress so long as doing so does not deal damage to an enemy), power armor auras/sprint slams and ejected cores, "command enemy" perks (including both surrender and berserk effects - Ghoulish 3+ is also NOT permitted). Damage bonuses from chems, perks, and other passive effects ARE permitted, as long as the damage is dealt exclusively by Laser Musket shots.
I have an increased level of appreciation for this challenge run, solely because of seeing challenges and base game-isms that console players have to deal with (alongside loading screen times), man am I glad that PC has the in-game console, that thing is beautiful.
“And Stay Back” makes me laugh everytime I use it, all I can think of when using it is the old Hana Barbara cartoons where someone shoots a shotgun and they go flying. ACME definitely comes to mind, Loony Toons or maybe even some old Donald Duck cartoons if you go back far enough are what I’m thinking of. It’s just such a gag type of attack y’know? Something a cartoon character does, but when placed in such a serious environment like FNV, the contrast just makes it really funny to me. It’s not too much where it’s immersion/tension breaking, but it’s enough to get a chuckle out of me.
I think my favorite combo of perks is shotgun surgeon, stay back, and cowboy. Grab yourself a level action shotgun, a ten gallon hat, all the 20 gauge you can find, and live your life to the fullest.
This video was a nice little surprise when I got home from work. Now ill have about 15 minutes to relax before I start crying for the rest of my night.
Hey Nerbit, since you like the Hunting Shotgun, I got a challenge for you. Rules: 1. Hunting weapons only (hunting revolver, shotgun, and rifle) + uniques 2. Get Sneering Imperialist perk and use it whenever possible. 3. NCR run but as evil as possible, always choose ruthless/violent options. Maybe do Van Graff quest and make Boone ruthless too. The challenge? "Can you beat New Vegas as Dick Cheney?" Bonus points for friendly firing important NCR characters and getting away with it.
7:20 I think about "Weapon repair kits are good and all, but being sweet on a man with a maxed out repair skill is even better" every time I go to see Major Knight (which is often because I'm also sweet on him)
I regularly watch your videos, and I'm constantly amazed, entertained and outright baffled at the things that happen during your runs. So, I decided to do a playthrough as Rusty Shackleford, mainly focusing on Unarmed combat for the first time. This also happened to be the first time I didn't outright kill the Legion on sight. There's a Disguised Frumentari you can run into out in the wastes after meeting Caesar and staying on the Legion's good graces, starting off the quest Caesar's Favor. It's a repeatable quest where you can find around 8 metal boxes, five of which have differing amounts of Denarius, one box alone having 125. Not sure if you knew this or not, but if you ever feel like using coin shot again on a pro-Legion run, that'll definitely come in handy.
It is INSANELY QUICKER to just cash casino chips in stacks of 80 then turning them in for 10 denari and repeating. This can be done to stack denarii WITHOUT opening and closing dialogue with the cashier, let alone the pip boy to drop chips
Can you beat Skyrim as Sheogorath? The order in which you go places is randomized, and a random selection of places (aside from story requirements and solstheim) are off limits. A 'place' is defined by the icon on the map. Your adventure is determined by utter madness. And of course, you have to get The Wabbajack first.
What makes crafting coin shot difficult as well is due to a programming error you cannot recover used 12 guage hulls from firing ammo like you can with other ammos.
Skyrim Minecraft Challenge; you must only use items you craft yourself; No looting, No purchasing, not even materials; you have to gather those yourself. You can loot the pickaxe, fishing rod, and woodcutter's axe you need to get started, but everything else you use for combat MUST be crafted by you, with materials you gathered yourself. The only horse you're allowed to use is the dwemer automoton, as that's the only one you can craft. No fast Travel. You must construct a fully functioning house and only use that one for your home, and optionally, add all crafting stations. Then you must complete the main quest with only weapons and armor you crafted yourself from materials you mined/gathered yourself. Any gold you need to complete these goals, like buying the plot of land for the house, must be purchased in true minecraft fashion; with emeralds. Mine them, refine them, sell them without making jewelry. Alternatively, you can sell other things you've made, as long as you do not purchase any gear, potions, food, or materials, but you have to keep all septims as emeralds untill you have to spend them, spending them all into emeralds at, say, kahjiit traders, or general goods stores. You MAY purchase training, but again, only with emeralds you mine. Alternatively, you can nix the purchasing training all together for extra challenge, or mine and smelt gold bars instead of emeralds for less challenge.
The line at the Tops being held up by a crazy person on the floor sorting out stacks of 99 chips. Someone asks them what's taking so long and they say I NEED DENARII FOR MY SHOTGUN
I love shotguns in New Vegas. Combine Shotgun Surgeon, And Stay Back, flechette rounds, and the combat shotgun, and you've got an absolutley monstrous build capable of handling nearly any encounter, even the deathclaw spam at the deathclaw promontory where you find the Remnants power armor.
Oh nerbit, you poor bastard. I JUST started the video and said to myself "I hope he takes "and stay back!" and gets the riot gun to make the damage penalties from coin shot more bearable.
As a note, coin shot’s extra projectile means that you have a better chance to trigger ‘and stay back’ and critical hits, which makes them fantastic.
The crit thing I knew about but I never even considered that that's why And Stay Back! was seemingly triggering more often, cool to know, thank you :)

I think it's a testament to your love of melee builds that in all your time in New Vegas, you'd not tried disassembling enough ammo to know you can't break down the non-standard varieties. Or at least the GRA varieties. You did get an NCR Ranger to breakdance at @21:13 that was neat.
Also a silly suggestion: can you beat Fallout 3/4/New Vegas as the Mysterious Stranger? Hat, coat, revolvers only (preferably .44), must third-party every combat encounter you come across. Probably easiest in 4 because of the luck build type, just pop in with a VATS attack and disappear into the night.
Silly idea, probably suggested a thousand times already but "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Frank Sinatra?" Completing quests while necking bourbon and looking dapper while at it.
That basically sounds like you have to be drunk as much as possible
@werewolfjedi38 Yeah, basically. Thought it would also mean to complete every Omertas quest as well. The whole mafia-thing.
That's good!
Frank also owned quite a few guns. Some of which I think have a close enough counterpart in NV.
So: The suit, hat, Frank's guns, whiskey, and Omertas.
I'd say the only gang remaining should be Omertas. Not sure who he would side with at the end. It would probably have to be a Yes-Man ending.
Are there any missions that resemble some of his movies?
Casino robbery, like the original Ocean's Eleven. Or The Manchurian Candidate? I don't know his movies beyond those two, or New Vegas well enough.
@@vissenekku Maybe Dead Money? Pretty sure that's the only heist in the game + dlc. I think for factions it would be a House-ending, Sinatra worked for others as an entertainer after all.
Coin Shot is just really funny to use when you're NCR allegiance. You give the Legion a refund on the bullets they spend on you.
Honestly, the best part about challenge videos like these is how they can put a magnifying glass on more niche gear/mechanics, exploring how practical they would be to incorporate or build around in a more practical playthrough-perfect for when you're looking for a reason to play through the game again.
Siding with House would have been a great joke.
Both of you solve your problems by throwing money at it
I saw coin shot and immediately my brain went
“YOU CALL SHOOTING A COIN A MARTIAL ART”
“you try doing it then”
Hey, If it works..
+RICOSHOT
Very strange how Vegas has so much Legion coin on stand-by in case some legionnaire strikes it rich at a casino and somehow doesn't realize gambling is outlawed by the Legion
I've never heard of the coin shot so this should be a learning experience ❤
Hope you are well man!
I had not heard about it either until a few months ago, also yeah I'm doing good man cheers :)
@@Nerbit13098 I was going to mention the Great Khan armoury, something I only found out about recently...but like you I normally massacre them haha making it fruitless.
Also nice TMNT reference.
I thought it was a mod when I saw the video title.
This is something I love about New Vegas- it has all sorts of tiny things that I'm somehow only discovering after playing it a bajillion times. Had no idea this was an ammo type. Heck, I only found out that the pocket sand melee skill was a thing even though I've definitely done what's required to obtain it before.
* At the battle of hoover dam *
" Hey bro I'm out of bullets, mind giving me your wallet? "
0:01 I can say the exact same thing for the smack sounds at the beginning 😂
It was between that and the high pitched CinemaSins style dings lol
Since you're following the road, I just wanna point out that there's a Hunting Shotgun at the Nuclear Test Shack, near Primm (or Nipton, can't remember), and close to the Legion Safehouse - the catch is that it's surrounded by ghouls - SO MANY GHOULS.
That's the path I usually take when getting a shotgun for my build
This is the Fallout equivalent of a Gil Toss only run in Final Fantasy.
God, the hunting shotgun *chick chick* pump is the most satisfying thing ever in FNV
Kudos to Nerbit for always finding a way to make even the most mundane challenge fun and entertaining to watch
Yes yes, kudos, he is a gentleman and a scholar, a doggo and a pupper
Speaking of coins, how about "Can You Beat [insert game here] as Two-Face?" Basically, you have to flip a coin, an irl coin, to determine which decisions you'll make in the run and whether certain critical npcs get to live or die.
I still have no idea how And Stay Back got farther than anyone’s minds. Absolutely broken.
It's the same with super slam, you get that perk on a fast knife when you get it at level 8 and congratulations you are literally set for the rest of the game
I get that, in terms of dps, the riot shotgun is objectively better but the hunting shotgun is just so much more fun to use. It FEELS better
It’s like using a bolt action sniper over a semi auto one, both do the job just fine but the click-clack of chambering the next round feels like it has more weight to it.
It is not if it can be done, it is about how you end up doing it. That is what this one was all about.
The moment i heard Armstrong i lost it. Watching your uncut play through of Rising made me buy because of how fun it looked and damn is it fun. Im only at Monsoon but ive loved every second of it.
Never even knew this was a thing, guess you learn something new about Fallout New Vegas every day lmao
Edit: Gambo First Bet may be one of the funniest misspeaks I've ever heard and it caught me COMPLETELY off guard
Same lol
Coinshot is unironicaly the best reason to become vilified by the legion as every legionary will carry some coins and they absolutely gore anything that bleeds
Seeing you go a shotgun build was very interesting, as I’ve said before I’ve never played Fallout but your videos are so damn good. When you said “Super Slam, but for shotguns,” I knew it was gunna be a hilarious play through.
In one of my playthroughs, Coinshot is the ONLY ammo I use for Big Boomer, it is stupid powerful and a ton of fun.
Has a hard time finding 12 Gauge hulls, seemingly leaves behind 6 of them while talking about it. Classic nerbit.
Joshua: You call shooting a coin a martial art?
Courier: Shing! Sparkle Sparkle!
(Can you beat the Outer Worlds as Teddy Roosevelt?)
Honestly Teddy would make a great Fallout run. Must use a hunting gun, must wear a suit befitting a politician, must collect every teddy bear in the game, must hunt every possible animal, except for Yao Guais because we all know Teddy's opinion on shooting bear cubs. Might be a bit difficult starting out since both attacking before acquiring a suitable weapon and running away from animal encounters are no nos.
My favorite aspect of Honest Hearts is the terminal lore from tracking down the Survivalists Rifle. Good stuff.
Can you beat Fallout:New Vegas as Dr.Klein? You have to use all of the Dr.Klein named items in OWB and spec mostly into science.
I wouldve just bought 100 chips at a time dropped the 1 got my denari, rinse and repeat until out of money picking up the singles when done instead of making many little piles. Love your content keep up the good work
I love the Hunting Shotgun and the Dinnerbell, probably my favorite shotguns in NV.
"It cost 96 legion denarius to fire this weapon, for 12 shots"
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the Chosen One? You must only use guns that were available in Fallout 2, get the Enclave power armor (and kill the remnants immediately if you want lmao), do all the Jacobstown related quests (bc of Marcus), recruit Boone (his voice actor is the same as Myron from F2) and side with the NCR
Irony of you having to blur the tomato soup you made of that Paladin man made it more visceral. 🤣✌️
Great video as ever pal!
Has waiting and watching a Nerbit video every friday become a part of their routine for anybody else?
Honestly yeah waiting for the fallout 4 abraham lincoln video took up my entire week it was all I could think about also have you noticed how much more funny and lively nerbit is
I misread that as "Can you Beat FONV with only One shot?" and I thought "Well you'd better make that shot count."
Just take out Caesar and there you go.
I'm glad you did this run. A couple of videos back I suggested you try a run where you can beat Fallout with only money. With my idea you could have picked 3, NV, or 4 with NV only using the coin shot in NV or only using pre=-war money as ammunition in the Rock-It Launcher / Junk Jet for 3 and 4. You didn't exactly go with the money theme as I was hoping but you did go through the run with the weapon I was thinking so I'm happy! Great Video!
On an unpatched version of the game you could do the casino caps glitch where you grind up 35500 caps then turn them all into casino chips, drop said chips on the ground and then the number of chips are in the negatives, turn the chips back into the casino teller and suddenly you're able to do turn them in infinitely, which means you could hypothetically have millions of Legion Denarius
Actually, coinshot is a great way to go to the stripclub on a budget
Can you do fallout 3 as a communist. You can only use chinese pistol , assault rifle and sword. You can only use Chinese stealth armour.
Not quite this restrictive, but this is literally my favourite FO3 run style. There are a few different mods that make it rather trivial to acquire the extant commie gear and make it half decent, especially early on, and a janky but neat faction-swap for Operation Anchorage, and playing as a commie is, like, the illogical conclusion of the satire of the Cold War. There's also a few good side quests and fun locations.
I feel like Chinese soilder run would be better name but sick idea that’s funny asf lol
There's also the dirty chinese fatigues, the commie hat from the pitt in the abandoned apartment building and the other commie hat in operation Anchorage
I *THINK* the coin-shot also has a unique projectile model you can see if you get that one VATS crit-camera, which is a neato touch if so.
21:14: Holy crap, that soldier is like "Welp, if I'm gonna die, might as well do a quick breakdance!"
Thought this was an Ultrakill themed run at first because in my years playing this game I had no idea these rounds were a thing
I personally believe this would have been way more funny if he named this character V3
Great video, Salad boy pays mad good once you start getting the legion drop boxes at "liked". Plus the lucky shades, salad boy's the man
I think a better challenge might be the bean bag rounds. Doesn't it only do fatigue damage? Also... day a lot asking for an exploding pants only run in any fallout
Coin operated shotgun, I can imagine just slotting in coins as fast as you can during a fire fight.
“God dammit why did I buy the EA gun”
Idea for a Fallout 4 Challenge Run:
"Laser Golf"
Premise - In Fallout 4, there is a Legendary weapon effect called "Endless" which basically means your weapon has no maximum magazine size. This typically just means no reloading is necessary, but it has an unusual interaction with a few weapons that use non-standard magazine formats. One of these interactions is the Laser Musket. The Laser Musket must be manually loaded for each shot in the magazine, but the main feature that interacts strangely with Endless is the way it fires: every round loaded into the Musket is fired in a single shot, with the damage of the shot scaling based on the number of rounds loaded. Due to the way Endless works, this allows and Endless Laser Musket to be loaded repeatedly ad infinitum as opposed to stopping at its magazine capacity (well, it can be loaded until you have loaded every round into it anyhow), allowing for a single shot to deal up to an arbitrarily massive amount of damage.
The run: somehow, some way, (mods, commands, whatever) start the game with an un-upgraded Endless Laser Musket and 1,000-5,000 rounds for it (a large but finite number). You must complete the main story of Fallout 4 (any ending), using only the Laser Musket, and you must kill every enemy you encounter (stealth is allowed but only for sneak attacks). You may only deal damage by firing the Laser Musket - no companions, grenades/mines, bashing, etc. Environmental hazards such as other enemies, hacked turrets, or environmental traps are permitted, as well as upgrading the Laser Musket and perks as long as they don't deal damage separately from the musket. You may bring companions as pack mules and cheerleaders, as long as they are somehow unable to deal damage, such as unarmed robots or modded companions (yes they can tank too, just no damage). At the end of the run, count how many rounds you consumed - lowest score wins. Speedrun optional.
Caveats and edge cases: environmental allies like those present during various story quests are obviously inevitable and permitted. Grenades and other weapons are not permitted, but they may be used to complete quest steps ONLY if those steps do not require you to kill an enemy with the weapon in question (such as testing the artillery a trhe Castle). As with the weapon exception, companions required for specific steps in the main quest are also of course permitted, but must be dismissed asap. Settlement turrets and traps are also NOT permitted. The ban on non-musket weapons includes mines and grenades that summon allies (including vertibirds), affect enemy AI such as berserk effects, the Minute Men Flare Gun (except where a quest explicitly requires its use to progress so long as doing so does not deal damage to an enemy), power armor auras/sprint slams and ejected cores, "command enemy" perks (including both surrender and berserk effects - Ghoulish 3+ is also NOT permitted). Damage bonuses from chems, perks, and other passive effects ARE permitted, as long as the damage is dealt exclusively by Laser Musket shots.
I used coin shot because I wanted to see if there is any practical difference.
But in the end legion money ends up as blackjack funds
I have an increased level of appreciation for this challenge run, solely because of seeing challenges and base game-isms that console players have to deal with (alongside loading screen times), man am I glad that PC has the in-game console, that thing is beautiful.
The power of Capitalism!
At it's finest lmao
@@Nerbit13098 can't fret over every mangled coin Jack!
“And Stay Back” makes me laugh everytime I use it, all I can think of when using it is the old Hana Barbara cartoons where someone shoots a shotgun and they go flying.
ACME definitely comes to mind, Loony Toons or maybe even some old Donald Duck cartoons if you go back far enough are what I’m thinking of. It’s just such a gag type of attack y’know? Something a cartoon character does, but when placed in such a serious environment like FNV, the contrast just makes it really funny to me. It’s not too much where it’s immersion/tension breaking, but it’s enough to get a chuckle out of me.
Day made. Thank you for all the amazing content
Thank you for watching :)
"This one man bank..."
Reminds me of this iconic line.
"I'm gonna take you to the bank...The Blood Bank, General."
As a Mistborn reader, this challenge run was extra gratifying for me to watch lol
I think my favorite combo of perks is shotgun surgeon, stay back, and cowboy. Grab yourself a level action shotgun, a ten gallon hat, all the 20 gauge you can find, and live your life to the fullest.
I don't know exactly what it would be, but I'm CERTAIN that "Gambo: First Bet" has the potential to be another good gimmick run
This video was a nice little surprise when I got home from work. Now ill have about 15 minutes to relax before I start crying for the rest of my night.
+ RICOSHOT
Hey Nerbit, since you like the Hunting Shotgun, I got a challenge for you.
Rules:
1. Hunting weapons only (hunting revolver, shotgun, and rifle) + uniques
2. Get Sneering Imperialist perk and use it whenever possible.
3. NCR run but as evil as possible, always choose ruthless/violent options. Maybe do Van Graff quest and make Boone ruthless too.
The challenge? "Can you beat New Vegas as Dick Cheney?"
Bonus points for friendly firing important NCR characters and getting away with it.
Always a good day when nerbit drops a vid
Fridays are always great days... I just make them a little bit better 😎
7:20 I think about "Weapon repair kits are good and all, but being sweet on a man with a maxed out repair skill is even better" every time I go to see Major Knight (which is often because I'm also sweet on him)
To be fair, a shotgun is basically a melee weapon, you might as well have your Superslam on it.
Ahh yes also known as the “The spare change in my pocket:” run
Resident evil movies reference was a lost opportunity xD. Nice video!
I regularly watch your videos, and I'm constantly amazed, entertained and outright baffled at the things that happen during your runs. So, I decided to do a playthrough as Rusty Shackleford, mainly focusing on Unarmed combat for the first time. This also happened to be the first time I didn't outright kill the Legion on sight. There's a Disguised Frumentari you can run into out in the wastes after meeting Caesar and staying on the Legion's good graces, starting off the quest Caesar's Favor. It's a repeatable quest where you can find around 8 metal boxes, five of which have differing amounts of Denarius, one box alone having 125. Not sure if you knew this or not, but if you ever feel like using coin shot again on a pro-Legion run, that'll definitely come in handy.
It is INSANELY QUICKER to just cash casino chips in stacks of 80 then turning them in for 10 denari and repeating. This can be done to stack denarii WITHOUT opening and closing dialogue with the cashier, let alone the pip boy to drop chips
Can you beat Skyrim as Sheogorath?
The order in which you go places is randomized, and a random selection of places (aside from story requirements and solstheim) are off limits. A 'place' is defined by the icon on the map. Your adventure is determined by utter madness.
And of course, you have to get The Wabbajack first.
What makes crafting coin shot difficult as well is due to a programming error you cannot recover used 12 guage hulls from firing ammo like you can with other ammos.
This dude is funny as hell, why have I never seen these videos.
Skyrim Minecraft Challenge; you must only use items you craft yourself; No looting, No purchasing, not even materials; you have to gather those yourself. You can loot the pickaxe, fishing rod, and woodcutter's axe you need to get started, but everything else you use for combat MUST be crafted by you, with materials you gathered yourself. The only horse you're allowed to use is the dwemer automoton, as that's the only one you can craft. No fast Travel. You must construct a fully functioning house and only use that one for your home, and optionally, add all crafting stations. Then you must complete the main quest with only weapons and armor you crafted yourself from materials you mined/gathered yourself. Any gold you need to complete these goals, like buying the plot of land for the house, must be purchased in true minecraft fashion; with emeralds. Mine them, refine them, sell them without making jewelry. Alternatively, you can sell other things you've made, as long as you do not purchase any gear, potions, food, or materials, but you have to keep all septims as emeralds untill you have to spend them, spending them all into emeralds at, say, kahjiit traders, or general goods stores. You MAY purchase training, but again, only with emeralds you mine.
Alternatively, you can nix the purchasing training all together for extra challenge, or mine and smelt gold bars instead of emeralds for less challenge.
"...with Benny and the boys, but let's cool our jets" I see what you did there
The line at the Tops being held up by a crazy person on the floor sorting out stacks of 99 chips. Someone asks them what's taking so long and they say I NEED DENARII FOR MY SHOTGUN
I love shotguns in New Vegas. Combine Shotgun Surgeon, And Stay Back, flechette rounds, and the combat shotgun, and you've got an absolutley monstrous build capable of handling nearly any encounter, even the deathclaw spam at the deathclaw promontory where you find the Remnants power armor.
shotgun chinese stealth cowboy, shotgun chinese stealth cowboy, shotgun chinese stealth cowboy, he's a sneaky bastard, and he'll shoot ya
Oh nerbit, you poor bastard. I JUST started the video and said to myself "I hope he takes "and stay back!" and gets the riot gun to make the damage penalties from coin shot more bearable.
