The slow, inevitable missile flying right at your face in slow-motion in VATS where you can do absolutely *nothing* to stop it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and one of the most hilarious.
11:03 lmao this part got me really hard, I am often annoyed when people ask me things like "why didn't you do X thing, it's easier/better" because I feel as if these people don't understand I clearly forgot, or didn't know, I am not choosing the worse thing on purpose I'm just dumb.
9:08 Pro-Tip to avoid deaths like this: If you have your crit meter filled like in the clip, or have a crit banked, you cannot be killed while performing the critical hit/shooting a critical shot. This only occurs when spending a crit and not getting one randomly, plus while you don't die you still take damage and can be dropped to 1hp during this so you should only do this if you are being flanked by a single raider, killing the last enemy in an encounter while at low hp, or if you need to tank a mini-nuke from Jerome the Level 217 Raider for the 5th time in a row.
The part of watching a rocket slowly go into yourself reminds me of a time i tried to shoot a fat man at a mutant higher up than me in VATS, and it missed...
Stupid challenge: Can you beat Fallout 4 with an abundance of restrictions? 1. Only energy weapons. 2. No healing. 3. No looting. 4. No Power Armor. 5. No aiming. 6. Only 1 point in every stat. (Excluding Luck)
Hey Nerbit, have a challenge idea: Can you beat Fallout 3 as a Chef/ Gordon Ramsay? The goal here would be to restrict yourself to using a rolling pin and/or knife as your weapon(s) of choice, as well as only eating food you have found (as you are a gourmand after all) to heal yourself. You dress in wasteland surgeon garbs, as the blood you are smeared with comes as much from your culinary exploits than the beating and cutting your enemies to death. And wear a head wrap for hygienic purposes, since food safety is more important to you than your own safety. Not so much focused with bringing water to the wasteland as culinary excellence. And naturally, you must punish Andale for their crimes against cuisine. Would genuinely pay money to see you have some fun with this, whatever way you decide to do it :).
I think an added challenge should be to only eat 'good' food. Ofc what is considered 'good' will be defined by Nerbit based what a post-apocalyptic Gordon Ramsey would consider 'good'.
Can you beat fallout 4 as Paul Revere? - wear hancocks outfit or the minutemen general outfit,while using only the revolutionary sword or laser musket for weapons. And of course,you will have to side with the minutemen. Also good luck with the move.
@@osamalinbaden1996 Never heard of Senza until now personally but that's cool, either way it's still pretty impressive so I stand by my comment. Regardless of who does what first, a challenge is a challenge and still holds merit
Things that happen in a Nerbit video 99% of the time. Fallout 3: Nerbit summons the communists invasion in Tranquility Lane. Fallout New Vegas: Nerbit destroys the omertàs in Gomorrah. Fallout 4: Nerbit destroys the railroad.
For a real meme playthrough: Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Benny? 1. Must go through as much of the plot as possible in the checkered suit and wielding Maria 2. Obviously side with Yes Man. 3. You are not allowed to kill anyone with a headshot.
I find it funny seeing this playthrough from Danse's perspective. He gives the player a laser rifle of his own as a reward, and Nerbit shows up later still using the same shitty pistol
So I got an idea: Can you beat New Vegas as Ocelot? - Move through his gun selection (fancy engraved guns to regular revolvers and all that) - Be a quadruple agent and push every faction's main quest line as far as you can before swerving them and working with someone else. Someone smarter than me can probably flesh this idea out more, just wanted to suggest the idea.
It would be good to see Ocelot's copyright-free cousin Pistol Bobcat again! Haven't seen him since one of Nerbit's earliest videos. ("Can You Beat Fallout 3 With the .38 Pistol?", I think...)

@LavLunacy true. I think the synths exploit numbers and synth durability (relatively speaking) to compensate, and the Institute doesn't really do fighting well as a rule. That's why they stick to sabotage, or coursers if they have no other choice.

I mean, in my first playthrough, a diamond city guard killed a legendary mongrel that dropped a bloody pipe pistol, or whatever one does 25 bleed damage. I used it basically the whole game. So pipe pistols aren't that bad. Well, they are, but yeah.
@@gewuerzwanze5627 for that stuff instigating is much better. In a way even better than two shot. Two shot adds the weapon's base damage (so without any mods that improve dmg) and then splits the total between the two bullets. So each one does less damage than without the effect. And they fly in slightly different angles. So the second round can miss the target at long range. Instigating on the other hand does double damage if the target is at full health. Which is almost a given when sniping or blowing stuff up. And with the right weapon that turns every shot into a ohko
@@HappyBeezerStudios yes. But instigating on auto weapons does almost nothing at all but 2 shot almost doubles not just your damage but your probability to hit. The effects are definitely to be sorted into either burst or sustained damage and the weapons also. Ma mismatch means youve got a useless legendary
Defending the Castle was actually pretty easy for me. Then again, I did have many laser turrets, station Cait, Danse, and Strong there, as well as have a sentrybot with a robobrain head, and a Deathclaw.
I replayed fallout 4, buying the DLC and made a settlement with that setup but i had that robobrain you have to give a body to get codes for mechanist stuff there when I did the defend the castle and hit her with AOE from a rocket launcher and then after finishing the mission she aggroed and hitting her angered my entire settlement(including most of my followers making it impossible to just kill everyone and rebuild the settlement) leading to me have to reload a manual save from way before and i havent played since
Hey nerbit, for future challenge runs (especially weapon limited runs), keep in mind that the bullets you find on bodies are the "reserve" ammo. If you take the time to pick the guns up right off the ground, you get all the ammo that is in the guns as well as the ammo on the body. In any locale where the spawned enemies use only one or two weapon types, this is a seriously good method for massively increasing your own ammo reserve. Taking the gun off the body instead of off the ground loses you this bonus ammo.
I will note that the last part is false, you do in fact gain the ammo if you take the gun from off the body. At least if you don't use the transfer menu. Will have to try with transfer menu though.
I was expecting you to go full gun fu with this one. Great fun to watch as always. :D Hey Nerbit, I noticed that in the video you usually picked up loose ammo off of enemies, but not their weapons (because they're crap and not worth selling, of course). There's a little-known trick that will help with future runs where ammo is scarce - did you know that when you pick up an enemy's equipped weapon, the game unloads it and deposits a random amount of ammo into your inventory? This way you get the 5-20 loose rounds they have in their inventory, plus up to a whole magazine's worth of extra rounds, then you just drop the weapon again. This can easily add up to hundreds of extra rounds and makes looting high-capacity weapons like Miniguns especially worthwhile. That's up to 500 caps worth of ammo right there!
@@calebbarnhouse496 essentially all you would need to do is use the "build destroy repeat" exploit in sanctuary rtill you got to lvl 10-15 and then modify the gun to take fusion
No its not possible. You can't get past Valentine's interview. I did this challenge and ended up with a priority method of: always "circle" first, then "square", then "triangle" and last "X".
4:30 you were talking about killing the enemies for their ammo, but you weren't picking up the guns. If the guns have ammo inside them, you actually DO get that ammo when you pick it up. Just a note for the future.
Alright, now beat fallout new vegas with only the stock BB gun WITHOUT getting any perks that increase its damage/crit chance etc. Anyways fun video nerbit hope your move goes well.
The only good thing about a pipe pistol is getting a legendary one with the explosive effect. Make it automatic and its basically a cheaper spray-and-pray, which has lighter ammo in survival mode. You could also get literally any late game gun with explosive. That works too.
Can you beat Fallout 4 as Kellogg (I think its more interesting to see how you'd steal Kelloggs identity while not being able to directly kill him with your fists or anything else than actually killing everyone with his legendary revolver and decent armor afterwards)
can you beat fallout 4 without leveling up? the goal would be to never use any skill points gained and potentially using console commands to not level up since each level up increases your health
This was a pleasant surprise, was just watching some older content for a laugh and this popped up in the feed. The Ave Maria bit with the rocket death was beautiful for the record, and good luck on the move.
Even though they're pretty bad, I absolutely love the aesthetic of the pipe weapons. It looks exactly like the type of cobbled together shit you'd expect to see in a post-apocalypse world. Also love how heavily you can mod them to fit your playstyle, from pistols to rifles to semi auto to full auto to magazines to revolver.
Apparently, according to either lore or a slip up on someone in Bethesda's magazine creation department, it seems pipe weapons are actually prewar. They were used as a alternative to normal firearms that pretty much anyone with tools and parts could make a simple gun, hence why it's so modable in game, and why it is not super effective. I always thought that in in the apocalypse, the weapons are not gonna look as clean as they do if a raider who is likely high and drunk would make.
It pars in terms of objectical ugliness with the accursed abomination that is 4's Assault Rifle and that should say something to ya. Like, why are they made out of wood if it is literally the post-apocalypse? Shouldn't wood be extra expensive? How in the world can you mod it to fire even .308? How the hell does it even work, the magazine is significantly higher than the barrel, there is no recoil spring, the bolt-action version is a disgrace to all bolt-action weapons that exist(including such utterly dumb and incredibly weird stuff like Toz or Mosin Obrez) and the _only_ 4's pipe gun that would not make anyone vomit is the Pipe Revolver. Although it doesn't have a speedloader 'cos Bethesda needed to model dem asses on Assaultrons, which means that you are literally stuffing 6 bullets of .45 with one finger.
@@The-jy3yq I don't see a problem with wood. For most of history guns were basically a pipe and wood. The real problem is that they look like someone's first hobby project. The least I would expect is the edges being sanded off. You want a minimum of ergonomics and no splinters. And after 200 years, there should be some level of industry. The first raider who gets something together that doesn't blow up should be decently popular with his buddies. And a raider boss with a capable gunsmith would make sure that those skills are retained for the time after your smith gets eaten by ghouls or turned to ash by some supermutant. And then obviously the fact that shotguns, single shot/bolt action, and full auto are much easier to do than semi auto. Shotguns have relatively low pressure, so the stuff isn't just a fancy grenade. And the sheer amount of straight blowback pistols and SMGs show that with a small round, it shouldn't be hard to build something in a shed.
How about this, can you beat Fallout 4 with the animal friend perk, intimidation perk, and wasteland whisperer perk? Sounds pretty crazy since you have to figure out how to level up to lvl 12, 21, and 23 before it can be somewhat useful.
I found in the begining when you come out of the vault theres a swampy area with a troop transport that has some ammo and more importantly a dirty army helmet.. its a pretty good help for the begining.... and the only enemies are 2 or 3 blood sucking bugs. When you look over the town after coming out of the vault its to the right
Hey Nerbit. Hope you are well. Thanks in advance for another great video! Was thinking you might be able to make some interesting runs with some DBZ fusion skill on your existing challenges. Anyway, this was the first one that pop into my head. Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a Pacifist while being chased by Private Kowalski & Malcolm Holmes?
Yes. Yes you can. In Fallout 1 you can go full pacifist and it will be extremely easy for the most part with only a few hiccups along the way. In 2? These 7 AP aimed punches are real good once you get all the perks: _especially_ Slayer. Frankie's getting supplexed today, yeehaw!
@@The-jy3yq oh I'm very aware, but most runners knows that just speeching the game every challenge is boring as hell. I was thinking if he wanted to be spicy he could try it with 0 unarmed skill haha or no levelling up or something
I honestly thoroughly enjoy them in the early game, I once had a mod installed that got rid of all guns but a few pipe weapons and melee weapons it was great
It's not random. It gives you how much ammo was currently loaded into the gun. Even though enemies have infinite ammo, it still keeps track of their shoots and how much ammo they are using so they are forced to reload.
I have a constant challenge every time I load up Fallout 4: Can I play it without my game crashing trying to reach (And get into) the Railroad? The answer, so far, is no. It keeps crashing. I hate playing my Detective character (Cheers Fudgemuppet for the build!) Because he sides with the liberating toaster idiots. Champion.
Yeah. Usually there is a MASSIVE FPS drop nearing Goodneighbour. I also get a big FPS drop heading past Hubris Comics to get to Boston Common but it's following the Freedom Trail that just... Snaps my xbox in half. Usually by the super mutant infested building and then again getting into the HQ
9:06 feels like something that you'll eventually experience once in Fallout 4. It could be what Nerbit experienced or you could see a Mini Nuke just inches away next to you signaling your impending doom (or possibly that video where the enemy who had a Fat Man Launcher had a bad stroke of luck and the player was merely a few centimeters away from the Mini Nuke)
Can you beat fallout 4 as a pirate In short the only weapons you can use are the broadsider and the revolutionary sword because it's the closest thing to a Cutlass as I know in the game vanilla and the only armor you can use is the admiral hat you get from the end of the quest line on the USS something the big ship it in downtown pretty much and you have to do the Nuka world DLC because a pirate would definitely steal stuff like a raider and also far harbor DLC because it's literally has all the options for being an a****** who can steal things but you can do it without the DLC too I feel like it would be interesting to just have it where you can only use a heavy weapon as in the broadsider and a light melee weapon like the revolutionary sword and have barely any armor along the way
It’s worth mentioning that one of my favorite end game weapons is an automatic pipe rifle with suppressor and steadying features. Virtually no recoil, abundant ammo and control is quick. Of course there are better weapons, but just like the Chinese rifle in Fallout 3, it feels more like an authentic Fallout experience with janky weapons.
im really high rn but like i love your content, its scratches a very specific itch, like its really interesting and engaging but its not over the top with humor and its perfect thank you
WEEK 2 of asking.... Can you beat Fallout NV as Bear Grylls? -Hardcore mode -You can only eat food you find in nature, plants and animals you scavenge or hunt, natural water sources, etc. no purchases. -You can only sleep on bed rolls/sleeping bags by campfires. -No companions (we are the camera crew xD) unless necessary for the main objective. -Acceptable melee weapons include combat knife, machete, or an axe and as this is a survival playthrough you can use a hunting rifle or varmint rifle to get food, if you need the handicap. (I don't think Bear Grylls is a cannibal). - You can use environmentally appropriate apparel (whatever you'd wear in a desert) so any version of the duster/ bounty hunter outfit seems appropriate or maybe ranger casual/ red scarf but no heavy armor. -Make all of you own repairs. -You can use your starting healing supplies and can craft healing supplies and meals. -You can use caps on doctors because emergencies do happen. -Honest Hearts DLC completion. Has some useful equipment and recipes.
I remember on my first play through when I saw piper for some reason I decided that she was an enemy so I started attacking her and then everyone else around me started attacking me and nobody was dying and I was confused. So it was kinda funny to me when you shot her too
Can you beat Dead Money without healing a single time? rules: no stimpaks, no auto-doc, no regen implant, must be on hardcore, must head straight to the DLC from Goodsprings. endurance must be set to 5 or less to avoid health regen, use of buffout is allowed if you are 1 hit away from death, however, your END must be limited to 2 if you wish to make use of it. you MUST defeat Elijah, trapping him is not allowed. if you are too annoyed by concussions, healing your head is acceptable with a doctor's bag. other consumables that do not heal (but have positive effects) are allowed, including fixer and med-x. you may heal to full health before beginning the DLC as the challenge only really starts once you're there.
i've been BINGING, all the fall out vids (to the point where i am hearing your voice when i study for my server admin exam), and i got a challenge idea Can you beat fallout new vegas with the varmit rifle being close to broken, challenge being you can only use the varmit rifle, it has to be on the lowest repair setting when using it to shoot people, you can fix it with other varmit rifles but not beyond half health.

@@HappyBeezerStudios yes. But instigating on auto weapons does almost nothing at all but 2 shot almost doubles not just your damage but your probability to hit. The effects are definitely to be sorted into either burst or sustained damage and the weapons also. Ma mismatch means youve got a useless legendary
Defending the Castle was actually pretty easy for me. Then again, I did have many laser turrets, station Cait, Danse, and Strong there, as well as have a sentrybot with a robobrain head, and a Deathclaw.
press ~ and type killall you little prick
Danse and strong? Every time i tried to put those two in a settlement they would start shooting each other
@@Gabe413 Surprisingly, they haven't tried. Idk if Blind Betrayal has anything to do with it or not, but they seem to coexist pretty well.
I replayed fallout 4, buying the DLC and made a settlement with that setup but i had that robobrain you have to give a body to get codes for mechanist stuff there when I did the defend the castle and hit her with AOE from a rocket launcher and then after finishing the mission she aggroed and hitting her angered my entire settlement(including most of my followers making it impossible to just kill everyone and rebuild the settlement) leading to me have to reload a manual save from way before and i havent played since
@@The_Archer-he2ft that's why I send her to my synth settlement.
Hey nerbit, for future challenge runs (especially weapon limited runs), keep in mind that the bullets you find on bodies are the "reserve" ammo. If you take the time to pick the guns up right off the ground, you get all the ammo that is in the guns as well as the ammo on the body. In any locale where the spawned enemies use only one or two weapon types, this is a seriously good method for massively increasing your own ammo reserve.
Taking the gun off the body instead of off the ground loses you this bonus ammo.
Huh, I did not know that, cool
Damn. I'm still learning things about this game.
I will note that the last part is false, you do in fact gain the ammo if you take the gun from off the body. At least if you don't use the transfer menu. Will have to try with transfer menu though.
Can you beat fallout 3 with only a deathclaw gauntlet
I was expecting you to go full gun fu with this one. Great fun to watch as always. :D
Hey Nerbit, I noticed that in the video you usually picked up loose ammo off of enemies, but not their weapons (because they're crap and not worth selling, of course). There's a little-known trick that will help with future runs where ammo is scarce - did you know that when you pick up an enemy's equipped weapon, the game unloads it and deposits a random amount of ammo into your inventory? This way you get the 5-20 loose rounds they have in their inventory, plus up to a whole magazine's worth of extra rounds, then you just drop the weapon again. This can easily add up to hundreds of extra rounds and makes looting high-capacity weapons like Miniguns especially worthwhile. That's up to 500 caps worth of ammo right there!
How did i not know that?
@@gewuerzwanze5627 the game never tells you
I´d really like to see a Alien Pistol or Kryogun run. Even Mittensquad hasn´t done that jet.
Alien pistol requires level 10 or 15 to even get and has only a handful of ammo. Its pretty much impossible
@@Tatwinus you can modify it to take fusion cell ammo, and you can craft to get levels up
@@camerannicephore5262 even still it requires a random event to get, so getting it without spawning it in would be obnoxious to say the least
@@calebbarnhouse496 essentially all you would need to do is use the "build destroy repeat" exploit in sanctuary rtill you got to lvl 10-15 and then modify the gun to take fusion
The UFO shows up once you are lv 20+ and are in the area around the crash site.
That is a lot of wooden shelves to get there.
9:04 how you edited this is just perfect, gave me a good laugh!
Can you beat fallout 4 with only negative dialogue options? (the circle or B ones)
In fallout 4 its "no, but actually yes", this would be more interesting in new vegas
No its not possible. You can't get past Valentine's interview.
I did this challenge and ended up with a priority method of: always "circle" first, then "square", then "triangle" and last "X".
Hello nerbit, I seem to have found you again
4:30 you were talking about killing the enemies for their ammo, but you weren't picking up the guns. If the guns have ammo inside them, you actually DO get that ammo when you pick it up. Just a note for the future.
Yeah it almost doubles what you get
Alright, now beat fallout new vegas with only the stock BB gun WITHOUT getting any perks that increase its damage/crit chance etc. Anyways fun video nerbit hope your move goes well.
The only good thing about a pipe pistol is getting a legendary one with the explosive effect. Make it automatic and its basically a cheaper spray-and-pray, which has lighter ammo in survival mode.
You could also get literally any late game gun with explosive. That works too.
I say a pipe rifle with the knee capper is great. Make it automatic and its the bain of all deathclaws because they cant heal their legs
I picked up a pipe rifle that had a health drain effect everytime you shot
@@ghostgamerz14 Does it give the health it drains back to you, though? That would be useful for Survival Mode runs...
@@MishraArtificer it was probably bleeding or something
when I played an automatic user I noticed the sub machine gun and the pipe auto rifle does the exact same damage for a cheaper ammo
You like pain, stop denying it
a tip for getting more ammo, loot their pistols as well and you will get additional bullets
Can you beat Fallout 3 while being chased by a child?
I got a heart YAY
Local man fights the world with a plank of wood with a pipe tied to it.
Can you beat Fallout 4 as Kellogg (I think its more interesting to see how you'd steal Kelloggs identity while not being able to directly kill him with your fists or anything else than actually killing everyone with his legendary revolver and decent armor afterwards)
can you beat fallout 4 without leveling up?
the goal would be to never use any skill points gained and potentially using console commands to not level up since each level up increases your health
I beat FO4 on very easy using glitches and was only lvl 9 when i blew up the institute.
Should be possible to have a mod that periodically resets or lowers exp.
This was a pleasant surprise, was just watching some older content for a laugh and this popped up in the feed. The Ave Maria bit with the rocket death was beautiful for the record, and good luck on the move.
My God, nerbits gone insane with this one
Finally snapped
It was the clown noise that told you, wasn't it?
Can you beat fallout 4 with only Molotov cocktails also luv the vids
Yes, you can
Even though they're pretty bad, I absolutely love the aesthetic of the pipe weapons. It looks exactly like the type of cobbled together shit you'd expect to see in a post-apocalypse world. Also love how heavily you can mod them to fit your playstyle, from pistols to rifles to semi auto to full auto to magazines to revolver.
Apparently, according to either lore or a slip up on someone in Bethesda's magazine creation department, it seems pipe weapons are actually prewar. They were used as a alternative to normal firearms that pretty much anyone with tools and parts could make a simple gun, hence why it's so modable in game, and why it is not super effective. I always thought that in in the apocalypse, the weapons are not gonna look as clean as they do if a raider who is likely high and drunk would make.
It pars in terms of objectical ugliness with the accursed abomination that is 4's Assault Rifle and that should say something to ya.
Like, why are they made out of wood if it is literally the post-apocalypse? Shouldn't wood be extra expensive? How in the world can you mod it to fire even .308? How the hell does it even work, the magazine is significantly higher than the barrel, there is no recoil spring, the bolt-action version is a disgrace to all bolt-action weapons that exist(including such utterly dumb and incredibly weird stuff like Toz or Mosin Obrez) and the _only_ 4's pipe gun that would not make anyone vomit is the Pipe Revolver.
Although it doesn't have a speedloader 'cos Bethesda needed to model dem asses on Assaultrons, which means that you are literally stuffing 6 bullets of .45 with one finger.
@@twiztedmind209 yeah, it’s why you can find them in alotta safes.
After 200 years I would expect something more sophisticated.
@@The-jy3yq I don't see a problem with wood. For most of history guns were basically a pipe and wood.
The real problem is that they look like someone's first hobby project. The least I would expect is the edges being sanded off. You want a minimum of ergonomics and no splinters.
And after 200 years, there should be some level of industry. The first raider who gets something together that doesn't blow up should be decently popular with his buddies. And a raider boss with a capable gunsmith would make sure that those skills are retained for the time after your smith gets eaten by ghouls or turned to ash by some supermutant.
And then obviously the fact that shotguns, single shot/bolt action, and full auto are much easier to do than semi auto.
Shotguns have relatively low pressure, so the stuff isn't just a fancy grenade. And the sheer amount of straight blowback pistols and SMGs show that with a small round, it shouldn't be hard to build something in a shed.
How about this, can you beat Fallout 4 with the animal friend perk, intimidation perk, and wasteland whisperer perk?
Sounds pretty crazy since you have to figure out how to level up to lvl 12, 21, and 23 before it can be somewhat useful.
Yesss this is a great idea. It'd be challenging and entertaining
You can just shelf spam
yo man, do you think you can finish new vegas with only throwing weapons/explosive (grenade, mine ...)?
ItsJabo did that one recently. Micro-Fusion Grenades broke the run completely, in the best way.
1:40 this location can spawn a 10 mm pistol as well. though it happened only once or twice in over 1300 hours of fo4.
I found in the begining when you come out of the vault theres a swampy area with a troop transport that has some ammo and more importantly a dirty army helmet.. its a pretty good help for the begining.... and the only enemies are 2 or 3 blood sucking bugs. When you look over the town after coming out of the vault its to the right
Hey Nerbit. Hope you are well. Thanks in advance for another great video!
Was thinking you might be able to make some interesting runs with some DBZ fusion skill on your existing challenges.
Anyway, this was the first one that pop into my head.
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a Pacifist while being chased by Private Kowalski & Malcolm Holmes?
Could be interesting to do, as that's pretty much how I came up with the idea to do the Malcolm and Kowalski video
@@Nerbit13098 Coming full circle :)
Can you beat fallout 1/2 with just your bare fists? I'd love to see some classic fallout :)
Yes.
Yes you can.
In Fallout 1 you can go full pacifist and it will be extremely easy for the most part with only a few hiccups along the way.
In 2?
These 7 AP aimed punches are real good once you get all the perks: _especially_ Slayer.
Frankie's getting supplexed today, yeehaw!
@@The-jy3yq oh I'm very aware, but most runners knows that just speeching the game every challenge is boring as hell. I was thinking if he wanted to be spicy he could try it with 0 unarmed skill haha or no levelling up or something
@@aetherius6221 no, not speeching.
_Snee-king, yes-yes._
Good job always Nerbit. Hope the move goes well.
Thanks man, currently boxing up stuff and things seem to be going ahead smoothly
should have named yourself "pipesqueak"
Still waiting on the new Fable vid Nerbit (:
I wanna do a fable 2 video soon to be fair
Pipe weapons in fallout 4 are underrated
I honestly thoroughly enjoy them in the early game, I once had a mod installed that got rid of all guns but a few pipe weapons and melee weapons it was great
They aren't totally horrible and can even keep up pretty well if you find one with the right legendary effect.
"I wonder if all those bullets made him lighter, or havier?" -Nick Valentine-
How dare you move on us, we rely on you
You almost killed me with that surprise toot. I had a mouthful of food right at that moment and almost choked on it from laughing so hard.
Wish pipe weapons look and more usable cuz i like the idea of them also nice vid man always make day even better when wacthing your vids
Can you beat Fallout 4 as Batman?
I like how you started with Piper for a name, then backspaced when you remember there's already a Piper. Should've gone with Rowdy Roddy. 😂
name the gun bubblegum
the pipe weapons are also intended as a backup for when your 10mm pistol runs out of ammo since nobody uses a 10mm pistol
Honestly when you get Mods on the 10mm It is actually viable for a little while longer
@@MHA-TSBro you can't make more ammo though
@@ghostleemann955 yeah 10mm isn't the most common ammo. But honestly it's still easy enough to keep stocked. Just loot everything
My favorite part of every friday is seeing this poor guy torture himself with another challenge.
Keep goin, Nerbit! Love the content!
Aka: Can you beat Fallout 4 as Phillip Luty
Tip: collecting pipe weapons (or any firearms for that matter) from defeated enemies will give you a random amount of corresponding ammo
It's not random. It gives you how much ammo was currently loaded into the gun. Even though enemies have infinite ammo, it still keeps track of their shoots and how much ammo they are using so they are forced to reload.
That Terminator rocket scene was so beautiful!
I have a constant challenge every time I load up Fallout 4: Can I play it without my game crashing trying to reach (And get into) the Railroad?
The answer, so far, is no. It keeps crashing. I hate playing my Detective character (Cheers Fudgemuppet for the build!) Because he sides with the liberating toaster idiots. Champion.
I can’t ever get into goodneighbor so I feel your pain
Yeah. Usually there is a MASSIVE FPS drop nearing Goodneighbour. I also get a big FPS drop heading past Hubris Comics to get to Boston Common but it's following the Freedom Trail that just... Snaps my xbox in half. Usually by the super mutant infested building and then again getting into the HQ
Can you beat fallout NV as the vault 13 dweller (only use vault 13 armor and weathered 10mm pistol)
Oh my God, the "Slow and unfortunate death" got me good! That earned a sub right there!
9:06 feels like something that you'll eventually experience once in Fallout 4. It could be what Nerbit experienced or you could see a Mini Nuke just inches away next to you signaling your impending doom (or possibly that video where the enemy who had a Fat Man Launcher had a bad stroke of luck and the player was merely a few centimeters away from the Mini Nuke)
with slightly more distance you cancel out of vats and dodge.
But that was just beautiful. A piece of art.
When attacking swan if you go in the shed that leads to the station he is too tall so you can just rip him to sherds.
Now imagine doing this with weapon durability
Can you beat fallout 4 as a pirate
In short the only weapons you can use are the broadsider and the revolutionary sword because it's the closest thing to a Cutlass as I know in the game vanilla and the only armor you can use is the admiral hat you get from the end of the quest line on the USS something the big ship it in downtown pretty much and you have to do the Nuka world DLC because a pirate would definitely steal stuff like a raider and also far harbor DLC because it's literally has all the options for being an a****** who can steal things but you can do it without the DLC too I feel like it would be interesting to just have it where you can only use a heavy weapon as in the broadsider and a light melee weapon like the revolutionary sword and have barely any armor along the way
It’s worth mentioning that one of my favorite end game weapons is an automatic pipe rifle with suppressor and steadying features. Virtually no recoil, abundant ammo and control is quick.
Of course there are better weapons, but just like the Chinese rifle in Fallout 3, it feels more like an authentic Fallout experience with janky weapons.
If you mean the finned barrel it actually has recoil--it just doesn't have spread. The recoil only lifts it, so if you pull it down while you fire...
im really high rn but like i love your content, its scratches a very specific itch, like its really interesting and engaging but its not over the top with humor and its perfect thank you
9:07 I need that clip by itself. Masterpiece
Before watching.
I remember senza doing this and drove him to insanity. I hope nerbit doesn't have the same fate
That rocket clip had me actually laughing
we love you nerbit ❤️
And I love you all
I would love to see a switchblade/tire iron only run without stealth. I imagine it'd be hard
Love the vids keep it up man 👍
Did you know assaultrons take less damage from head shots than any where else
WEEK 2 of asking.... Can you beat Fallout NV as Bear Grylls?
-Hardcore mode
-You can only eat food you find in nature, plants and animals you scavenge or hunt, natural water sources, etc. no purchases.
-You can only sleep on bed rolls/sleeping bags by campfires.
-No companions (we are the camera crew xD) unless necessary for the main objective.
-Acceptable melee weapons include combat knife, machete, or an axe and as this is a survival playthrough you can use a hunting rifle or varmint rifle to get food, if you need the handicap. (I don't think Bear Grylls is a cannibal).
- You can use environmentally appropriate apparel (whatever you'd wear in a desert) so any version of the duster/ bounty hunter outfit seems appropriate or maybe ranger casual/ red scarf but no heavy armor.
-Make all of you own repairs.
-You can use your starting healing supplies and can craft healing supplies and meals.
-You can use caps on doctors because emergencies do happen.
-Honest Hearts DLC completion. Has some useful equipment and recipes.
What about Bowie knifes?
Just a question.
@@The-jy3yq could do, yeah.
I remember on my first play through when I saw piper for some reason I decided that she was an enemy so I started attacking her and then everyone else around me started attacking me and nobody was dying and I was confused. So it was kinda funny to me when you shot her too
Can you beat Dead Money without healing a single time?
rules: no stimpaks, no auto-doc, no regen implant, must be on hardcore, must head straight to the DLC from Goodsprings. endurance must be set to 5 or less to avoid health regen, use of buffout is allowed if you are 1 hit away from death, however, your END must be limited to 2 if you wish to make use of it. you MUST defeat Elijah, trapping him is not allowed.
if you are too annoyed by concussions, healing your head is acceptable with a doctor's bag. other consumables that do not heal (but have positive effects) are allowed, including fixer and med-x. you may heal to full health before beginning the DLC as the challenge only really starts once you're there.
I love your harder challenges and would love to see you do new vegas with only the silenced 22
Pump 10 luck, a few crit perks and kill everything with the 22 pistol
i've been BINGING, all the fall out vids (to the point where i am hearing your voice when i study for my server admin exam), and i got a challenge idea
Can you beat fallout new vegas with the varmit rifle being close to broken,
challenge being you can only use the varmit rifle, it has to be on the lowest repair setting when using it to shoot people, you can fix it with other varmit rifles but not beyond half health.
