As of the day this goes live we are 500 subs off 100k, that number is insane to me and I can't even put into words how much your support means, genuinely thank you all so much
Can you beat Fallout 4 on Survival difficulty without any perks?
You deserve is man, fucking love your content! Between you and mitten squad, I get my Bethesda fix even without having a usable console right now.
No we should thank you for the great content!
Congratulations dude, this TH-cam shtick isn't easy yet here you are! See you at the next milestone, Nerbit!
Thanks man, the growth has actually been crazy lately :)
The lore for the Striker is actually pretty cool, it was made by some guys who wanted to help their disabled veteran friend bowl again. I think he was in the Alaska campaign but don't quote me on that.
I remember reading about that, I am a sucker for weapons or armour with a great backstory
@@Nerbit13098 can you beat Fallout 4 on Survival difficulty without any perks? No im not a bot ive been wanting this for months
Yeah from what I remember he lost one or both of his legs in Anchorage. He loved to bowl so they made him the striker so he can bowl again. Say what you will about fallout 4 and Bethesda writing. Things like this are awesome.
@@Chuked yes but it is to
I think that plan failed seeing how bad the striker is at bowling
Unlike VATS, this man just doesn't fucking miss
Awww shucks, you gonna make me blush, but seriously thank you for the continued support man :)

“As I angered a whole family of landmines” the one liners are getting better and better lmao
Thank you, I just write down the stupid stuff that comes out of my mouth while playing lol
@@Nerbit13098 lmao your full of great ideas, keep em coming
I see he's competing with Oxhorn for most landmines stepped on.
Mittensquad has some competition I see
@@taylorprokopowich3804 Not really. Nerbit is entertaining to be sure but Mitten Squad is the undefeated world heavyweight champion of one-liners.
I like the idea that Desdemona opens the door waiting to meet the mysterious person who has made there way the them, then the last thing she sees is a bowling ball come out of the shadows
If you look at the energy of a bowling ball, theoretically, the Striker could be horrifically effective. A 16 pound bowling ball traveling at around 70 miles per hour had roughly the same energy as a .500 S&W Magnum round.
Considering you could probably modify the striker’s firing power, it could probably go 100+ miles per hour. Christ. That would tear through armor.
So basically you're saying this is an upgrade to a handcannon? A full-sizrd cannon if you will.
@@thecaveimperials725 I think it would be very effective with lighter and smaller bowling balls, if you wanted armor penetration, for a better distribution of energy.
Pounds and mph - how would you even calculate kinetic energy with that?
@@NoName-md5zb Pounds to kilograms mph to meters per sec then .5(mass)*(velocity)^2 = Kinetic Energy in (joules) of energy.
I’ve found that if you stick the bowling ball launcher from The Striker onto that Two Shot fat man that Arturo sells then you can pretty much get infinite ammo and more damage from what I remember.
Yeah I thought about that for the run but didnt want to exploit the game to much as the limited ammo is one of the weapons limitations lol
Technically what happens is since both bowling balls can be picked up you can just straight up make ammo from simply firing it, which also means that since the bowling balls can be sold the gun theoretically can pay for itself.
I don't imagine he could do that in this challenge seeing as the challenge is to use specifically the Striker.
@@DukemNukem yeah, technically the striker is just a fatman with a special mod. Also he did say the striker only
Prepare to be... astounded! No seriously that's an awesome idea.
I like how the striker canonically can cause incredible amounts of property damage from medium range, but can't be used to bowl in-game, the very thing it was designed to do.
somebody should make a mod to let the balls roll better or something. but they're meant to work on a well maintained slippery bowling alley, not a dusty ruined one
I mean, realistically, it's not the Striker's fault. Bowling balls are meant to be rolled on a heavily waxed and clean flat, wooden lane, not a rotted, dusty remnant that hasn't been waxed or cleaned for literal centuries.
@@kabobawsome well yeah, but it's also flying through the air hard and fast enough to cripple limbs and keep going, so let's just say the alleys are rigged to all hell anyway and call it a day.
@@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689
Why would they be rigged though? Not like you’re gonna win a prize in a typical game of bowling. Plus the weapon was made by either the owner or staff so why would they rig the lane of the guy they made the striker for?
@@Ser_Matticus My Brother in Christ, a device capable of causing massive damage to people and property hit those pins head-on and failed to knock a majority of them over.
The whole damn alley is Rigged, it would seem.
Crafting Bowling Balls at a Chemistry Station? Sounds correct. Who could forget that Bowling Balls are an element on the periodic table.
my favorite element
Everything is made out of some element.
I think it might be an artificial element. Bowlarium, I think it's called.
"Nico,Let's go bowling"
JESSE, WE NEED TO COOK BOWLING BALL
During the BoS blimp intro when you launched a bowling ball at it I just have the mental image of the brotherhood pilot guys just hearing a really faint "THUNK" and then being concerned as to what the hell that was.
The striker’s legendary effect is made much funnier when you consider it was made for a guy in a wheelchair
you know i never thought about that

Can you beat FONV, but every time you kill a hostile opponent, you MUST pick up and equip whatever weapon they were carrying. This means you couldn't just rely on one weapon or strat - I think that could be a pretty good challenge!
Didn't mitten squad do this ?
Could call it the "shape shifter"
@@mizzznking135v6 No idea, I thought I'd invented it, but you know that old adage about there being no such thing as a new idea.
@@Dizzula Yeah, I used to do this exact thing playing Insurgency, I'd start with a pistol, then every time I shot an enemy, I would have to grab and use their gun. If I ran out of shots in their gun before I killed someone it was knife time, though usually I wouldn't, and it was a blast running around frantically picking up new guns to use =D
Gun Klepto%
Love how maxsons body guards could not care less about the fact that you just killed him at the end
They were in awe of his balls XD
They're just glad they got their mission done and can finally get some damn sleep.
Oh yes, you can indeed beat the game with only the striker, it is oddly ammo efficient when used in combination with the big boy. I was running a vats built when I tried this back in 2017. I called the built "Bowler Bill". Now that I think about it "bowling bill" would've probably been funnier.
You missed an opportunity if you didn’t wear a bowler hat the entire playthrough
@@RagnarLoudpak he was wearing the bowler hat and a green mechanic jumpsuit the entire time. It was a good time.
Strikin’ Steve works pretty well too.
@@RealDavidChipman I love that 😂😭😭
@@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290 You are my hero.
Preston Garvey: "General, another settlement ne-"

Someone really needs to make a mod for this where when the bowling ball impacts someone it makes a loud "bonk" noise

@@v1tr1us2 Niko: "I can't Roman. I'm busy right now."
*flys vertibird into the swingset of death*
Fun fact: You can buy the unique Fatman from Arturo in Diamond city that shoots two projectiles at once. You can modify it to shoot bowling balls by taking the mod off of the striker. Causing it to fire two bowling balls at once, therefore infinite bowling balls.
lol just post same thing
This just goes to prove my theory that fallout 4 breaks if you have a 10 luck and charisma character. I usually start with 10 charisma and about 7 or 8 luck and just fly through the game.
It's the same with New Vegas, max luck and speech gets you pretty much everything you'll ever need
Its a legit strategy in most rpgs
I think any stat at 9 or above breaks FO4. You get near immunity to damage in VATS and crazy melee damage for Strength, obnoxious VATS accuracy and AP cost reduction for Perception, absurd survivability and resistances for Endurance, overpowered companions and ludicrous cash with Charisma, generally good coverage of crafting for power armor and XP gains for Intelligence, literally broken melee VATS and the ability to sneak perfectly with more action points than you'll ever need for Agility, and the highest single target damage output possible and generally good economy coverage for Luck. They're pretty well balanced overall if you're taking the game as the sum of its parts.
If you think 10 luck is broken in Fallout 4, then you haven't seen it in Fallout 2. Criticals are ridiculous in that game, even before Better Criticals gives them a chance to insta-kill, and the Sniper perk can give you a 100% Crit Chance.
@@HydraRaptorCH I mean to be fair, you are _maxing out the skill_ so it makes sense you become powerful (Plus it's a trade off for having less in the other skills)
Although Intelligence may be the most busted, along with Luck if you get idiot savant. Since the XP gains can boost your other stats
Fun Fact! You don't have to wait for the townsfolk to kill the Anglers. If you avoid talking to Avery when you arrive at Far Harbor, the creatures don't attack yet, and you can just go on to wherever you please.
Wait seriously
@@Chuked God is not real
@@Someguy-ot1vm he is real, God has created everything that ever existed and he will continue to do so for the rest of time… You have no evidence to disprove to me that God is not real so your claim is completely invalid and pointless
@@Chuked Scientists say big bang happened because of the bang or something?
@@Someguy-ot1vm the big bang is a theory and there is no way to prove that it ever occurred, stop being annoying
Hey Nerbit so I have an idea for a video. Its a lockpicking challenge. The rules are you can only use weapons, caps, meds, armor so on so fourth found in lockpick able chests or areas, to explain the area part for example everything in the gun runners in New Vegas is fair game as it is only accessible by a lockpick able gate. I tried this run in NV and it was quite fun, hope you consider.
I would love to see this
Question: what about the first bobby pin? Do you use the ones you get from Sunny Smiles, or are Bobby Pins free items? Also, bartering. How does it work?
@@toe_sucker_4165
You can use caps found in safes and all bobby pins are fine
@@rook7639 ok.
I actually set up a bowling alley in starlight drive in, and was discovered when the striker failed. So I tried the junk jet and it worked slightly better.
you should do an exploitless run of only using the submachine gun. the ammo economy sucks ass so it should be interesting
The Tommy gun submachine gun? Pffffft, easy. You can produce .45 ammo out of thin air absolutely glitchless.
No glitches needed, goodneighbor once you're leveled up will keep respawning the triggermen in the warehouses so you can just restock by killing them. And if they don't drop enough .45 (say it's early game, they only have bats/10mm) then grab weapons, slow walk to Kleo, sell weapons for ammo. Charisma clothes go a long way in Fallout 4.
With the 2nd/3rd tiers of Scrounger ammo for pretty much anything is a non-issue. Maybe for rarer ammo types like plasma, missiles, mini nukes, or gamma rounds but bullets would be a complete non-issue.
I mean… Spray n' Pray is a thing
Local wastelander destroys entire science facility with just a bowling ball.
I do not understand why this video was so funny to me.
I think my monkey brain just really loves the idea of launching heavy balls at living organisms only to seem them crumple in the most pathetic way possible.
since you can actually apply the striker as a mod to any fat man, you can actually create infinite ammo by applying it to the Big Boy sold by Arturo! then again it wouldn't be the striker just a cheap knockoff version of it
More like a very expensive knockoff version of it. I doubt he had enough caps in this entire playthrough to afford it.
@@insanegolem its pretty easy to get money in this game, big boy with striker makes it have infinity ammo and waay more damage
@@kamik1ng You are forgetting that he is doing a play through using only the striker in the first place. Caps are much harder in that kind of thing.
@@insanegolem but why can't he just sell things without using it? For me it's still doable
I kinda made a makeshift striker before far harbor. I basically filled a junkjet with bowling balls from the alley in the Galleria and improved it with the fire perk.
Launching firey balls of death at the enemies. And being able to sometimes reclaim them off the ground was fantastic fun. 😆
Finding fusion cores in a box is definitely dependent on luck but also the scrounger perk that increases the amount of ammunition you find in containers and fusion cores are considered ammunition because of the gatteling laser
Cousin Niko! Let's go wander the wasteland and kill things while bowling!
I imagine that taking the strong back perk would be almost essential for a run like this.
That shot on Kellogg was just.... perfect
I’ve watched each video probably about 5 times by now (channel really helps me sleep at night for some reason) and this is definitely my favorite love the extra editing with this one gave a much needed laugh
I'm watching this video at lunch at work... And 10:52 had me laughing way too hard in the office
Love the fact that Bethesda added in the bowling sound effect in game so you don’t have to
The little inserts you put in for certain moments, like vaporizing the courser with assautron head and smashing Kellogg's skull with a bowling ball are just the absolute best
I don't know if you have thought of it or if it's been suggested to you but doing a run like this with only the broadsider would be pretty cool. Love your videos
This and the broadsider are my favorite weapons in FO4, just wacky for the sake of being wacky
I love that, a few times, you were able to smack someone with a ball in close range and grab it again before it hit the ground. It paints this amazing imagery of you doming some poor sod with a high-speed bowling ball, then catching it on the rebound before they even hit the floor and smacking the ball back into the striker to blast another poor sap behind him.
I love how most of his videos are mostly for fun, it’s always good to see someone doing stuff that’s enjoyable to watch and maybe do so I might try these now thanks Nerbit!
fun fact:If you can actually remove bowling upgrade from this fat man and put it on others like Big Boy which will basically give you infinite ammo as it doubles them with each shot.
Yeah thought about it but figured a big part of the challenge was the limited ammo and I try to avoid exploits if I can lol
@@Nerbit13098 yea though so great video do.
@@milantosic wow reading your reply it's obvious you must be stupid. Try making sense maybe?? Especially when commenting back to the guy who made the video ?
Imagine a Fallout 4 Harpoon gun only run. You'll be nailing everyone's body parts to walls.
this is by far my favorite channel keep it up man and congrats on 100k subs
This is by far my favorite video on this channel. The jokes and clips are top notch and will always be funny no matter how many times i rewatch it
I forgot this weapon existed lol! But this will still be good! Also that is one of best thumbnail you've had!
Same honestly lol
This might be the most hilarious looking run you have done. Seeing heads just explode from a bowling ball has me dying.
Right? Shooting an npc in the head when they are talking is nothing new. But when you see them get smacked by a bowling ball instead of a bullet, that is next level funny.
10:57 This was a GREAT edit. I loved it. I was thinking about something like that right when you did it and it made me feel like someone out there gets me. Well done.
I do like the story behind the striker. A bowling buddy goes to war, is paralized, and in order to help him and hopefully cheer him up, his team gets their hand on experimental military technology and modify it to launch bowling balls.
Try as a Baseball player with a bat, the baseball player outfit and the baseball grenades
"There is only one weapon to my knowledge that demonstrates the alustrious killing potential off the bowling ball"
Me: *snickers* Junk Jet
Great video! Can't wait to see you hit 100,000 subs!
8 agi might have been a good pick for the quick hands perk since the fat man takes such a long time to reload.
Hey nerbit I have an idea try to beat Skyrim with only healing spells ex. healing hands and other spells of those varieties. And a companion pretty much becoming a pve healer I wanna see how people are gonna do this
I think mitten already did that
@@ShadesMF I think he did only restoration skills but he used the poison rune spell which is in restoration not just healing spells and stuff like that
@@criticalmiss6764 oh sorry, never played skyrim, thought healing and restoration was the same
@@ShadesMF it's all good I just wanted to clear up misunderstandings :)
@@criticalmiss6764 well, thanks
Btw good luck with that "chosen one", sergeant
Hey man I love your videos! I would be so interested in a FO4 run where you only use the “Intimidation” perk. I loved using that perk on my runs, so I always wondered if you can beat this game using only forced NPC companions.
The script/commentary in this video is top notch. I 🤣🤣 several times. Bravo, Sir. Bravo
That Kellogg kill was the funniest thing I've seen in any of these videos. And that is saying something, as they're all gold. Well done.
Didn’t even know this was in the game! That’s cool! Thanks for showing us this!
No problem man :)

Hey Nerbit, ive got an idea for you, how about beating New Vegas with only Pew Pew? The Set-up of finding all the star caps I feel would be a great challenge
Perfect video as always Nerbit 😩🤌
Thank you :)
That one missed bowling ball on the triggerman. Dude torso twisted so well he's probably the main protagonist of a MechWarrior game, went right under his armpit.
Finally seeing you use Power armor regularly makes me wonder about a "power armor only" run. There's a few armor mods in the science tree iirc, as well as the perk that makes your sprint do damage. Bonus for any goomba stomp kills.
Also finding multiple fusion cores happens sometimes with me, especially on high luck builds with the ammo scrounger perk
You can duplicate ammo if you put the striker mod on the big boy (sold by arturo ) because it shoots 2 balls with the cost of one that you can recover anyway
these videos are getting better and better
The only thing that would make this run better, is a mod that lets you bounce and trick shot the bowling balls. Imagine bouncing one from head to head, of hitting a wall and hitting a guy around a corner.
Back to binging every Nerbit video in existence. Keep up the awesome content dude!
Power armor in this game is so unappealing to use. I wish they had kept the same repair system from 3 and NV. I hate having to maintain 6 pieces of armor with resources.
My issue is the fact it is meant to be this super strong armour, yet it is also the only armour in the game that breaks
@@Nerbit13098 The armor system in general I don't like because it just feels like an unnecessary change.
The Rock-It Launcher (Sorry, the Junk Jet) also fires Bowling Balls doesn't it, because it launches any junk?
yeah but bowling balls are STUPID heavy so
With the junk jet a bowling ball will do the same damage as a stack of money.
@@topcoppelion6626 Yeah, but the point is that you can still launch em with it ^.^
@@topcoppelion6626 Not to mention the Striker has better range, has the kneecap effect and it can be shot instantly, unlike the Junk Jet.
My dude, your almost has 100k subs, when I first subbed I just new you'd keep going up and up, keep it up man your doing great!🤙
i just watched your fist only run again today thanks for the upload!
No problem, same time every week :)
I always ditch the first power armor frame in Sanctuary because it feels like mega cheese getting what's always been the best type of kit in the game 5 minutes in.
Eventually when I find different pieces, even if it's just Raider, I put it on the frame and it feels like I earned it.
Can you beat Halo Infinite using only the Plasma Pistol? (Only doable after Dec 8th)
There will 100% be a Halo Infinite challenge on this channel, whether it's out before the new year though I am not sure as I'll be busy over the holidays :)
@@Nerbit13098 Use that broken Misriah Armory mod
Were hitting levels of memes now of where I'm not sure if that bowling pin sound effect on a kill is actually in the game or if Nerbit added it in editing.
It’s in-game

How does
"Beating FO4 with only what you scavenge in Sanctuary" sound?
Can you beat fallout 4 with only the double barrel shotgun

Not sure what to call the challenge but it would be cool to see you do it! The only way you can damage enemies is with a high jump with power armor slam thing. You could use the Jetpack to allow you to get the air needed. Love your challenges and your video! Keep up the great work mate!
If he is gonna use the jetpack thats gonna deplete those fusion cores real fast
@@ShadesMF yeah. That way it would be more of a challenge and so he can do damage. Mainly cause like a rock isn’t near by to jump off of
1:28 Makes sense the person using the striker would look like a bowling pin
Oi Nerbit!
New challenge idea: Can you beat Fallout 4 with only the Mr. Handy Buzzblade?
(You *are* allowed to use commands to get the weapon due to it being tough to get.)
Could be fun, forgot that weapon existed
@@Nerbit13098 In the same vein, how about with the abominable Salvaged Assaultron Head? Although I can imagine pulling one's toenails with rusty pliers sound more appealing.
the buzzblade is an upgrade to the ripper (both damage- and range-wise), so it would hardly be a challenge
@@jehovasabettor9080 Ah, but the real challenge comes in getting it (unless using cheats).
@@glouthebrawlstarsparody7309 Not to mention the bleed damage is weak and it can't be upgrade.
Do the syringe gun next for 4, it's really fun
I literally just came back from bowling and I see this in my recommended. Also as another weird coincidence I watched The Big Lebowski in my film history class today.
the fact you didn't stop off in the robotics disposal ground to get the hod rod flames paint (free enhanced durability for your vats), the spare power armor and fusion cores, and fat man for selling BAFFLES me if you are doing a run with power armor.
Can you beat Fallout 4 with only the Acid Soaker?
The edit for Kellogg is my favorite one so far, absolutely hilarious 🤣
This aged well considering the GIF. Striker doing the “GIF” to regular enemies, or “Bowling pins”
can you please try to beat Fallout 4 on survival difficulty without any perks?
Hey Nerbit thank you for the video your only 5k away from 100k you have any plans? Anyways good video as always
Honestly not sure, kinda reached it a lot faster than I thought lol
Hey dude, nice challenge. I didn’t know you could beat Fallout 4 as Roman Bellic!
i think my favourite part about the Striker aside from the kind lore behind it is the fact that hitting enemies makes a strike sound. i havent been to a bowling alley in near 5 years but the sound of a strike causes happy chemicals in my brain as i watch the man in front of me become paste
since you've finally not killed to omertas in at least one run of new vegas I have to ask you if you can beat fallout new vegas as an omerta
@12:22 you stole your own ammo back from yourself? lmao
That edit when you absolutely doinked Cereal Boy was amazing.
This video came out 1 day later than my internal nerbit clock expected to
FNV with that gun?
Are you ever gonna do a playthrough where you side with the Institute? Just curious, not saying you have to of course
I have an idea for a video where I will be siding with them, but the reason I don't most of the time is simply because I just don't like the faction all that much
@@Nerbit13098 Yeah that's fair. My personal least favorite is the Minutemen. I could never really get into settlement building, always found it boring
You’re hatred of the Railroad is glorious! I laughed so hard when you wiped them out.
