Heads up! There are some interesting bugs to learn about! Laser Commander and Light Touch add FLAT BASE CRIT CHANCE. - Crit chance is normally Playercrit * WeaponCritMultipler = FinalCrit Laser commander and light touch add a flat number to the end. FinalCrit + 10%, Final Crit + 5% respectively. This means weapons that normally have crit multipliers of less than 1 can crit fairly regularly, like the gatlng laser. - Second Heads up! Set lasers to fun, and Beam me up, the +2%, +4% critchance applies to all energy weapons. They too are flat crit chance multipliers. With everything combines, you can give nearly every energy weapon in the game a minimum crit chance of 9%, and with laser weapons 19% before luck is even taken into consideration. - Also, maybe pick up ratslayer too next time, since it has a crit multiplier of 5, finesse + beret + 10 Luck means you crit every shot! Best of luck and great video btw!.
I use the 1st recon hat every time with light touch and a lot of the time Joshua’s armor and finesse to always have 30% then paciencia with the 1.5* crit chance meaning I always have a 45% crit chance sneak crits with paciencia deal 260 damage ( I’m pretty sure) meaning I deal more damage per shot than the anti material rifle with explosive rounds

My first time ever playing the game (like a month ago) I was with my older brother, who has been playing for a year now. I saw that two bears high-fiving thing, and I said, "Hey, that looks like 2 ninjas high-fiving." He looked at it and went "No, it's two BEARS high-fiving," and that's how I learned the meme.
One thing most people miss with the chet glitch is all of the powder gangers in town hold all the leather armour in their pockets so if you manage to steal them (yes it is possible to steal 900 leather armours from one) you can sell them for FAT STACKS O CAPS
@@sleepygamermax6782 i also recommend getting the powder gangers to look in opposite directions to each other so you dont get detected whilst pickpocketing
One of my favorite builds is a gun slinger build which uses lucky and that gun exclusively. With 10 luck, build to destroy, finesse, 1st recon beret, Ulysses duster, true police stories with comprehension, and the light touch perk it is possible to reach 100% critical hit chance. With that gun and perks and consumables, and assuming normal 5.56 ammo you can achieve a DPS of as high roughly 550.
BTW there's actually 6 casinos in base new vegas Atmoic Wrangler has one and the one in Primm will eventualy reopen after you return in a couple days after getting a new sheriff for primm and doing an unmarked quest. just walk into the casino and it will start.
@@sleepygamermax6782 The key is if you max out to level 50 and take just lucky I'm alive, better criticals. Actually, my build usually run at 55% crit chance to 70% but in practice I was always criting. Dropping level 50 lonesome road deathclaws in under 2 seconds. The survivalist rifle, mf hyperbreeder, and paciencia are the best critical weapons in my experience. The unique bb gun has cheap ammo, lightweight in hardcore, and gets deadly with a crit build
@@LegateLynxusing a BB gun unironically is the ultimate Chad Courier move (doesn't it also get a bonus from Cowboy because it's technically a lever action?)
Casinos aren’t as good as you think. I prefer to steal combat armor from boomers, max out its item health, and then go to the crimson caravan and speak to their vendor. Then I trade it in for the lowest CND combat armor they have and for some reason it’s profitable and the game lets me keep my max CND combat armor. It’s overpowered and lets you max out on ammo for any weapon category.
There are shitton of ways to make money in Vegas. people are laser focused on Chet exploit and casinos for some reason, but if they spent 5 minutes to learn caravan they could earn 3k+ caps daily just from that. Add all the loot that is placed in the game by default (combat armor, brotherhood patrol armor, lonesome road being accessible from lvl 1) and you’ll be swimming in caps. And what would you even spend them on, outside of implants and odd bough weapon?
@@max7971Implants really. If you start with 8 Luck you can raise it up to 9 by buying the Naughty Nightwear from Mick & Ralphs, get enough money to buy the Luck Implant and then use 10 Luck to just win free money at the casinos without even having to savescum.
Don’t know if you are aware but you don’t have to buy that gun. You can steal it from the room behind the dude who sells it. It’s just on a shelf in there. You can also kill manny in Novac for his first recon beret (with silenced weapon or one shot stealth) during the quest to find out info on the great khans. It has +perception and +3 crit chance I believe. It’s my favourite hat. It has unlimited durability once repaired to full. 👍🏻
2:39 That Gun doesn't particularly have a greater crit rate than Lucky. Both have a 2.5x multiplier, meaning they're equal in that regard. Additionally, an often-overlooked gun for critical builds is Paciencia, its critical hits inflict about the same damage as Anti-Materiel Rifle crits (110 DAM on top of normal damage), and with a 2x crit multiplier, you can get a base ~80% crit chance, meaning using hollow point ammunition (+75% DAM, 3x target DT) is better than any other ammunition type in just about any situation, since crits always ignore DT. It is an exceptionally powerful weapon, allowing you to one-shot mother and alpha deathclaws. I have a very short video demonstrating this on my channel, if you care to look. Another great weapon for a crit build is Pew Pew, with its extreme damage already being good, it also has a 2.5x crit chance, allowing for 100%+ crit chance, though it has a 'reduced' crit damage of +0.75x DAM instead of the usual +1x. Nevertheless, running max charge energy cells on it (1.5x DAM) results in some pretty insane damage, only pretty costly on the ammo front.
@@sleepygamermax6782 Oh jeez I didn't mean for it to come out as harsh or anything! Just as a more informative thing since I am just running a CRIT build on NV and had a bunch of fresh info in mind! Your vid is still plenty fun, I just wanted to give some good suggestions to other commenters and you!
The meltdown perk also bases the chain reaction damage on the initial hit so maxing the damage on Pew Pew means every Crit is a devastating AoE explosion. One of the most visually OP guns in the game.
Laser rifles with split beams like either the standard one with beam splitter or tri-beam can crit for each beam as well and do absurd amounts of damage. I prefer the beam splitter on regular rifle though because it only uses 1 mfc per shot, has 24 shots/reload, extremely low shot spread, super high zoom without a scope, so great fov while aiming, and only requires 25 in energy weapons to use while tri-beam requires 75. Additionally there is an infinite cap glitch with the casinos where if you get something like 33k chips, then drop those, when you try to pick them up again it'll return a negative value, and you can infinitely return the chips to the cashier for 33k caps payout each time, letting you buy out all the implants and weapons/armor you could want at lvl 1 if you know how to get to Vegas early.
Isn’t there an alien gun from wild wasteland encounter that has 100% crit rate? Edit: I just checked and yes, it’s called Alien Blaster. It has x100 crit% multiplier, which means it will crit even with 1 luck and 0 perks. However, it uses special ammo, that drops from the Alien Captain (you also get the gun from him), who doesn’t respawn, which means it’s a limited use weapon (unless you use commands to spawn more ammo). Also, I’m not sure if you can repair this gun
Cool fact about new Vegas crits the sonic emitter tarantula with the perks laser commander and pyromaniac automatically one shots everything (confirmed by wiki also blows off all the limbs and head and lights the torso on fire) on crit with a 43% crit chance with the right perk set up without true police stories it’s by far the easiest way to kill the legendary bloatfly

It’s doable. Especially if you use paciencia which has a x2 crit rate. 100% crit rate is possible but not necessarily viable. Was a fun research project nonetheless.
11:00 Actually, Joshua Graham's armor also gives a crit rate bonus. It gives +3% rather than +5%, but it also gives more DT and it's an easier DLC to clear.
Fun fact, the laser rifle is bugged so fully modding it increases the damage output over 50 per shot, which is higher than the unique in vault 22, you don't need the scope that's just preference and the tri bram has nutty damage anyway

Honestly, crit is kinda mid in Vegas but you take high luck mostly for the Casions anyways. Because in the end the true crit builds are 2: - Laser Commando VATS - Silenced Guns Stealth (wich doesn't need luck outside crit perks) Probably, making that "super grenade launcher and combat knife" build is the better option and the more fun one (Imagine being a pyromaniac cowboy grunt demolition expert)
I agree, you wind up dumping tons of SPECIAL points into Perception (the second worst stat imo) and take out several perks in order to... wear light armor and rely on RNG? I'd rather rock up in a t51-b and grind everything to paste with Mercy and explosive .50 MG rounds. Nothing holds up against those. Or pair the two shotgun perks with a riot shotgun to invalidate nearly any opponent at close range
Casinos make you way more than 30k caps. Win at poker until you're just below the max win limit, then save scum at the roulette table putting max bets on 0 or 00. Sometimes it takes awhile, but usually it's only a few loads before you get a win. That's an additional 7500 caps per casino. Per. Casino. Don't leave almost 40k sitting on the table, pun intended.
I’ve been told you can make way more than 30K(It was just a quick estimate I threw in there) but it becomes harder to meaningfully spend the caps at that point. I finished the game with 15K.
@@sleepygamermax6782 if you’re on pc with mods, it’s likely fixed in your version. In the vanilla game the beam splitter is bugged and gives you two extra beams instead of only just one. It’s absolutely ridiculous, but only outside of VATS. I have to figure the fixed version is still good, but significantly less so.
9:10 you can be 'neutrally against" them and still get the key and be liked by everyone gotta silently kill ncr guys and collect their dogtags just farm them in their bases and cycle every 2 or 1 weeks

Yeah I forgot about the Ratslayer. Usually the higher the crit rate the weaker the gun is normally. It’s why I just suggest a stealth build.
My first time ever playing the game (like a month ago) I was with my older brother, who has been playing for a year now. I saw that two bears high-fiving thing, and I said, "Hey, that looks like 2 ninjas high-fiving." He looked at it and went "No, it's two BEARS high-fiving," and that's how I learned the meme.
Incredible that I've accidentally laid the foundation for this on multiple high luck House runs. I'll have to try it out.
Do look through the comment section for more info. Like Ratslayer and Energy Weapon stats.
One thing most people miss with the chet glitch is all of the powder gangers in town hold all the leather armour in their pockets so if you manage to steal them (yes it is possible to steal 900 leather armours from one) you can sell them for FAT STACKS O CAPS
Absolutely Noted! Barely anyone knows the Chet Exploit these days so further details are even rarer.
@@sleepygamermax6782 i also recommend getting the powder gangers to look in opposite directions to each other so you dont get detected whilst pickpocketing
2:36 actually incorrect. That gun has a crit chance of 2.5X, same as lucky. The actual highest is the ratslayer at 5X
7:02 We have all watched that video with the deathclaw at least a dozen times, also there was an extreme lack of paciencia in this crit build
Yeah I realize I didn’t use the paciencia that much. I just like the Anti-Mat Rifle too much.
1:40 that’s some impressive ai to dodge like that
One of my favorite builds is a gun slinger build which uses lucky and that gun exclusively. With 10 luck, build to destroy, finesse, 1st recon beret, Ulysses duster, true police stories with comprehension, and the light touch perk it is possible to reach 100% critical hit chance. With that gun and perks and consumables, and assuming normal 5.56 ammo you can achieve a DPS of as high roughly 550.
BTW there's actually 6 casinos in base new vegas Atmoic Wrangler has one and the one in Primm will eventualy reopen after you return in a couple days after getting a new sheriff for primm and doing an unmarked quest. just walk into the casino and it will start.
Noted. Although the one in Primm has a low cap limit. (Wouldn’t want them to be bone dry in caps days after being saved)
The rawest killcam ever edits had me laughing everytime
Can't wait for you to do a 100% crit experience on Fallout: The Frontier next 🤰
Nah, Fallout 76
The Frontier?.. Oh god, don't remind me of that abomination
you can just steal that gun btw if you break into the storage closet when he's asleep
I need whatever the brotherhood turrets are on cause holy shit they got more health than the entire ncr and legion army combined 8:29
Lanius, the final fight of the game has like 1/3 of the health of those damn turrets.
Crit builds are always my favorite
Theres nothing better than storming the legions camp at like level 10 its too funny
A man of culture. Very hard isn't so hard anymore, and you really unlock some weapons power with 100% crit
It’s really the early game armor enemies. Just wish out of the 3 guns with 100% crit more than one was endgame viable.
@@sleepygamermax6782 The key is if you max out to level 50 and take just lucky I'm alive, better criticals.
Actually, my build usually run at 55% crit chance to 70% but in practice I was always criting. Dropping level 50 lonesome road deathclaws in under 2 seconds.
The survivalist rifle, mf hyperbreeder, and paciencia are the best critical weapons in my experience. The unique bb gun has cheap ammo, lightweight in hardcore, and gets deadly with a crit build
@@LegateLynxusing a BB gun unironically is the ultimate Chad Courier move (doesn't it also get a bonus from Cowboy because it's technically a lever action?)
The surface tension music at the end is just perfect
crit builds are the most fun for corpse launches. you can annihilate physics in this game and i love it
7:00 - Caesar's Space program
Theres a speech expliot to get the lucky shades.
Ran a similar build with laser weapons a while back. So fun.
Casinos aren’t as good as you think. I prefer to steal combat armor from boomers, max out its item health, and then go to the crimson caravan and speak to their vendor. Then I trade it in for the lowest CND combat armor they have and for some reason it’s profitable and the game lets me keep my max CND combat armor. It’s overpowered and lets you max out on ammo for any weapon category.
There are shitton of ways to make money in Vegas.
people are laser focused on Chet exploit and casinos for some reason, but if they spent 5 minutes to learn caravan they could earn 3k+ caps daily just from that. Add all the loot that is placed in the game by default (combat armor, brotherhood patrol armor, lonesome road being accessible from lvl 1) and you’ll be swimming in caps. And what would you even spend them on, outside of implants and odd bough weapon?
@@max7971Implants really. If you start with 8 Luck you can raise it up to 9 by buying the Naughty Nightwear from Mick & Ralphs, get enough money to buy the Luck Implant and then use 10 Luck to just win free money at the casinos without even having to savescum.
Ngl, your pause on the ninja perk gave me some important info I did not have. cool
Didn’t know that either until I researched every increase to crit. The perks in this game don’t function properly 🤣
The use of Black Mesa OST at the end is so damn good bro thank you very much for reminding me to play that game
Same. I gotta go back and play it too.
fyi if you go in the dino gift shop after midnight you can pick pocket the door close to the cashier desk and it would contain "that gun".
Don’t know if you are aware but you don’t have to buy that gun. You can steal it from the room behind the dude who sells it. It’s just on a shelf in there.
You can also kill manny in Novac for his first recon beret (with silenced weapon or one shot stealth) during the quest to find out info on the great khans. It has +perception and +3 crit chance I believe. It’s my favourite hat. It has unlimited durability once repaired to full. 👍🏻
2:39 That Gun doesn't particularly have a greater crit rate than Lucky. Both have a 2.5x multiplier, meaning they're equal in that regard.
Additionally, an often-overlooked gun for critical builds is Paciencia, its critical hits inflict about the same damage as Anti-Materiel Rifle crits (110 DAM on top of normal damage), and with a 2x crit multiplier, you can get a base ~80% crit chance, meaning using hollow point ammunition (+75% DAM, 3x target DT) is better than any other ammunition type in just about any situation, since crits always ignore DT. It is an exceptionally powerful weapon, allowing you to one-shot mother and alpha deathclaws.
I have a very short video demonstrating this on my channel, if you care to look.
Another great weapon for a crit build is Pew Pew, with its extreme damage already being good, it also has a 2.5x crit chance, allowing for 100%+ crit chance, though it has a 'reduced' crit damage of +0.75x DAM instead of the usual +1x. Nevertheless, running max charge energy cells on it (1.5x DAM) results in some pretty insane damage, only pretty costly on the ammo front.
*cries in using the wrong weapons for a crit build*
I'm so sorry, I am definitely out of the league here lol. Thanks for the information tho!
@@sleepygamermax6782 Oh jeez I didn't mean for it to come out as harsh or anything! Just as a more informative thing since I am just running a CRIT build on NV and had a bunch of fresh info in mind! Your vid is still plenty fun, I just wanted to give some good suggestions to other commenters and you!
@@joelfilho2625 You good spread your information. It’s really on me doing bad research and putting it in the final video.
The meltdown perk also bases the chain reaction damage on the initial hit so maxing the damage on Pew Pew means every Crit is a devastating AoE explosion.
One of the most visually OP guns in the game.
Joshua Graham outfit, elite riot gear, and that one legion armor after nuking them all give crit bonuses
the AMR, the only tool purpose crafted for producing limbless torsos at a rate of however quickly you can afford ammo for it
Understandable.
(starts a new game with a new build)
Laser rifles with split beams like either the standard one with beam splitter or tri-beam can crit for each beam as well and do absurd amounts of damage. I prefer the beam splitter on regular rifle though because it only uses 1 mfc per shot, has 24 shots/reload, extremely low shot spread, super high zoom without a scope, so great fov while aiming, and only requires 25 in energy weapons to use while tri-beam requires 75.
Additionally there is an infinite cap glitch with the casinos where if you get something like 33k chips, then drop those, when you try to pick them up again it'll return a negative value, and you can infinitely return the chips to the cashier for 33k caps payout each time, letting you buy out all the implants and weapons/armor you could want at lvl 1 if you know how to get to Vegas early.
12:55 you may believe everyone is protected in the eyes of god, but in this long frozen moment, you are the one staring at him.
heartbeat heartbreak is so peak holyyy
Isn’t there an alien gun from wild wasteland encounter that has 100% crit rate?
Edit: I just checked and yes, it’s called Alien Blaster. It has x100 crit% multiplier, which means it will crit even with 1 luck and 0 perks. However, it uses special ammo, that drops from the Alien Captain (you also get the gun from him), who doesn’t respawn, which means it’s a limited use weapon (unless you use commands to spawn more ammo). Also, I’m not sure if you can repair this gun
Yes. Yes there is. I forgot it.
Cool fact about new Vegas crits the sonic emitter tarantula with the perks laser commander and pyromaniac automatically one shots everything (confirmed by wiki also blows off all the limbs and head and lights the torso on fire) on crit with a 43% crit chance with the right perk set up without true police stories it’s by far the easiest way to kill the legendary bloatfly

@@sleepygamermax6782You have jelly beans?
Thank you for making this video. I've been looking at How to max out my Crit chance for Over five years.
It’s doable. Especially if you use paciencia which has a x2 crit rate. 100% crit rate is possible but not necessarily viable. Was a fun research project nonetheless.
11:00 Actually, Joshua Graham's armor also gives a crit rate bonus. It gives +3% rather than +5%, but it also gives more DT and it's an easier DLC to clear.
True. I’d wear it if I wasn’t min maxing crit (incorrectly sadly)
Fun fact, the laser rifle is bugged so fully modding it increases the damage output over 50 per shot, which is higher than the unique in vault 22, you don't need the scope that's just preference and the tri bram has nutty damage anyway
The more people comment about the bugs in this game the more I realize playing this game normally isn’t a crutch.
3:38 Oh, hell I knew what is about to *happen* when I saw that *terminal with new wifi antenna* 😂
(I was caught once by it myself. Very rare trap to find in New Vegas, but funny as hell)
4:50 You may skip fall dmg, reset oxygen in water and go thru walls if you spam the third and first person buttons. At least that worked for me on modded fallout. Or just save scum, yet the option I gave works better. Does not work on the killzones, though.

Gonna build this in my FALLOUT NEW VEGAS ENHANCED EDITION
Honestly, crit is kinda mid in Vegas but you take high luck mostly for the Casions anyways.
Because in the end the true crit builds are 2:
- Laser Commando VATS
- Silenced Guns Stealth (wich doesn't need luck outside crit perks)
Probably, making that "super grenade launcher and combat knife" build is the better option and the more fun one (Imagine being a pyromaniac cowboy grunt demolition expert)
Moral of the story, just make a stealth build. Explosives would be really good in New Vegas
I agree, you wind up dumping tons of SPECIAL points into Perception (the second worst stat imo) and take out several perks in order to... wear light armor and rely on RNG?
I'd rather rock up in a t51-b and grind everything to paste with Mercy and explosive .50 MG rounds. Nothing holds up against those. Or pair the two shotgun perks with a riot shotgun to invalidate nearly any opponent at close range
Casinos make you way more than 30k caps. Win at poker until you're just below the max win limit, then save scum at the roulette table putting max bets on 0 or 00. Sometimes it takes awhile, but usually it's only a few loads before you get a win.
That's an additional 7500 caps per casino.
Per. Casino.
Don't leave almost 40k sitting on the table, pun intended.
I’ve been told you can make way more than 30K(It was just a quick estimate I threw in there) but it becomes harder to meaningfully spend the caps at that point. I finished the game with 15K.
It's ~41 K at the five vanilla casinos and ~10 K pre-war money at the Sierra Madre, if you only do blackjack.
I tend to prefer the modded laser rifle over the unique, but the AER14 is definitely a better VATS weapon. Cool video.
Apparently there’s an exploit where the base laser rifles can do more damage than the AER14.
But I really just wanted to make that Vault 22 joke.
@@sleepygamermax6782 if you’re on pc with mods, it’s likely fixed in your version. In the vanilla game the beam splitter is bugged and gives you two extra beams instead of only just one. It’s absolutely ridiculous, but only outside of VATS. I have to figure the fixed version is still good, but significantly less so.
