Powerful Melee and Fist weapons in Fallout New Vegas. If you're interested in other weapons check out my other Videos in the Fallout New Vegas weapon suite.
I love the *Paladin Toaster* myself; it's the unique version of the Zap Glove, and it's a must-have if you intend to head off into the Big Empty for the Old World Blues DLC, as it is especially effective against the robot enemies- most notably Roboscorpions- encountered in the Big Empty. You can find the Paladin Toaster in *Black Rock Cave,* located almost directly west from the El Dorado Gas & Service. Inside are three nightkin equipped with varying weapons, but the Paladin Toaster can be found on the body of a dead prospector towards the back of the cave. The Paladin Toaster is less durable than it's standard counterpart, but has higher base damage and critical damage. When combined with the *Piercing Strike* perk, Unarmed attacks will ignore 15 points of a target's damage threshold, making it especially effective against robots of all kinds. You'll need to be at least Level 12 with an Unarmed skill of 70 to acquire this perk however. Just as well that it's better to wait until after you've reached Level 15 before departing for the Big Empty.
One of the vendors you failed to mention was the quartermaster in hidden bunker if you're a member of the Brotherhood of steel, from time to time that vendor is known to carry end-game weaponry.
Yeah, correct me if I’m wrong… she doesn’t if you haven’t finished their quest line (or upto still in the dark) until then you get lesser wears or something
😑🙏Yes, enhanced with chems I love the katana weapon. 😳Also, if you've ever seen Days of Future Past(X-Men), you can re-enact Quick Silver's intro scenes by getting a few bumps of the GRX implant. When it wears off you'll still have time to see body parts that haven't hit the ground yet. Ok... technically you can do that with any of the melee weapons I guess. 👍
Late by years but hey. GRA means Greased Lightning is sold by the Brotherhood Armory, letting you attack 3 times a second before modifications. Throw on Slayer, Rushing Water, Ain't Like That Now and Super Slam to make your game (and its residents) hate you. Turbo / Implant GRX for good measure.
Knock knock is my weapon of choice because the chainsaw, thermic lance and industrial hand just leave you standing there leaving you open. Knock knock cripples people more making them flinch giving you more time to attack
Thats backwards. Knock knocks biggest strength is its extremely efficient cheap vats cost, but unfortunately vats leaves you wide open to the point that its not worth using vats for melee or unarmed except in 1 vs 1 against bulky bosses. Automatic weapons actually leave you more mobile because you just hold down the trigger and move whichever direction you want. Its especially true of the industrial hand since its a smaller weapon. Its allso worth pointing out that Automatic weapons used on the torso will stagger-lock the enemy. You can just mow over deathclaws with the industrial hand. Also the industrial hand is the best unarmed/melee in the game with a crit build and piercing strike and it also doesn't benefit from or need super slam or unstoppable force, saving you 2 perks. Super slam isnt needed with Automatic weapons because they staggerlock and do ridiculous dps. The industrial hand checks for crits 10 times per second and its base crit damage is 40. With perks it becomes 90 crit damage and again its checking 10 times per second and has a crit multiplier of 1 (which is actually VERY high for an automatic weapon)
I like your guides, you are concise and thorough in your descriptions, and display a keen sense of self-edit in regards to appropriate humor, clear in your provided information, and clearly understandable in speech. Great job man.
yeah, chance's is just ridiculous, esp since you can get it as soon as you step into the world. that swing speed is just sick and then you throw in all the right perks, benefits from BOTH cowboy and grunt, its just beast mode. crits for days. I always grab it no matter what my build is.
I know I'm late, but the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC has Two Steps Goodbye, the unique variant of the Ballistic Fist. Score a critical hit on your enemy and they explode! It's basically Kenshiro approved!
Embrace the Mantis king, Two step goodbye, greased lightning? I killed a sentry robot with the Mantis in one swing, A deathclaw "Rawr" (Lonesome road dlc) didn't even get a hit on me when using the Two step Killed it with 3 swings.
Yeah. I just wanted to clarify some things. And a lot of people would love it if you did an updated weapon suite including all the dlc-added weapons,but to be honest,you were already super helpful to me.
Thanks for the tips dude. Oh, baby was especially easy to get because I already cleared the cave out from the quest you get from the doctor in jacobstown lodge.
Unarmed is beastly if you invest properly in perks. Stonewall, Penetrating Punch, Slayer, as well as some of the unarmed training you can learn from the Brotherhood, NCR, and Legion. Combine that with a high damage unarmed weapon and you can really do damage. I also tend to go Heavy Handed, because even with weaker crits you still deal a lot of damage fast. By the end even Deathclaws are pushovers.
+Takaithepanda My favorite is the NCR ranger takedown. If an enemy keeps killing me from a distance, i close it and knock 'em down. i do that with Nightkin alot.
you are an amazing commentator,not ONE second I was bored of this video,including the intro,and that is ALOT to say that someone likes the intro after seeing it 7 times.
Whenever i travel in the mojave wasteland, i have the chance to find a group of legionaries (im vilified with the legion) and they sometimes carry termical lances, so sometimes its not so rare to find these type of weapons.
aylamaiia Survivalists' Rifle keeps the rate of fire of the regular service rifle, making it a good alternative to your Anti- Material rifle build. Still, I often end up with that build sooner or later anyway.
If yer siding against the Leigon, Leigonary Assassins tend to use the Thermic Lance a lot as melee, least during my playthroughs. Pretty much once you get Boone your Leigon Infamy will swiftly rise, soon leading to higher-grade assassins with Thermic Lances.
Do not remind me of the hell I was faced. I was level 13, and I was vilified by the Legion. put two and two together and you'll find out how much fun I had
NarcassisticGamer They were hard for me to deal with at early levels, but once I killed the first set I stole all of their weapons and from then on they weren't a big deal. In fact, from then on every time I saw them I said "Sweet! Free guns!"
On my current play through Boone and I are like twins, we both use a scoped hunting rifle and 1st recon beret, needless to say at level 27 we are a force to be reckoned with. I love waiting for the legionary Assassin's to try us. (Yes the Assassin's most certainly do bring along with them power fists and thermic lances)
Holy shit, I finally found these videos again, this shit got me into New Vegas, my favorite game of all time. Holy fuck, Thanks William for doing all of these videos!
I found the thermic lance on one of Caesar's assasins ( I think they only spawn if you are vilified by them ) and I found the chainsaw on one of Caesar's men who was making something when i entered the fort! Thanks for the videos man i have almost every weapon you have shown in your videos :)
Watched these guides and they are very well done, awesome job. The oh baby gave me bad memory though, i gave it to Veronica to use since i'm not much in the sledges but didin't want to have a good weapon like that lying around, she lost it i guess dropped after critical hit somewhere in vault 34, only noticed it after i got out of that place and don't really like the idea of going back there and search for it, i really hate that place for it's radiation.
Chance's Knife and Love And Hate (unique spiked knuckles) do a ton of damage when you consider their damage to carry weight ratio. Each only weighs 1 pound, swings faster, does more damage and more critical damage than their non-unique counterparts. With the Pack Rat perk they each weight only half a pound. If you like to have silent/non-ballistic weapons on hand but don't want to add a whole lot of extra weight to your load, either one is a great choice. Also, with all the perks that increase attack speed Chance's Knife can rival the dps of Oh Baby! which is pretty impressive. 276 dps for Chance's Knife and 309 dps for Oh Baby! but Oh Baby! wins hands down when it comes to damage per hit. Sorry to go on so long, I just love these weapons and this game so much. LOL.
I wish he would at least confirm that he won't do a DLC guide, IS working on one, MIGHT work on one, etc. Give us some feedback, William! We love your guides!
I got two Thermic Lances. One of them in the Lonesome Road DLC being carried by a Marked man, and the second one in stock by the vendor at Hidden Valley, in the Brotherhood of Steel bunker
If you start getting assasinated by legion hit teams, their troops will have either super sledges or thermic lances - good source of caps selling the sledges, and eventually you nab a thermic lance.
i think your videos are great man :) you should do weapon guides but with ALL weapons or even armour! Your Voice Is like The David Attenborough of Game Docos lol
like I said REALLY good ones, not just good. I chose the weapons based on damage calculations. They are statistically powerful, my opinion didn't come into it much beyond choosing a cut-off point or minimum possible damage threshold.
I agree, one of the things I liked about new vegas was anything that shot lead was in the guns skill and if it shot charge packs it was in the energy skill, if it blew up its in explosives. Seemed less complex than fallout 3 where the minigun, fat man, missile launcher, and gatling laser were in big guns.
Thee is actually a variant of unique ballistic fist, the two step goodbye, it sets an explosive on the enemy if scoring a critical hit, after 2 secs, the enemy explodes, possibly turning non-hostile friendly NPC hostile
Lucas Taylor Two-Step Goodbye is in the Gun Runner's Arsenal Add-On. From what he was saying, all these weapons can be found in the base game without having to buy additional DLC.
The thermic lance can be purchased at the Brotherhood of Steel Hidden Valley Bunker, all you need to do is gain entrance to the Bunker which only requriers one or two quests to get acsess to their basic munitions however it might be at 50% or less condition. you might not find it right away just keep waiting 48 hours until it appears in stock if this does not work you have to complete the B.O.S quest line plus one extra misson to become one of them then a lance will be instock at full condition
If you have the DLC for the divide once you are able to go to the couriers mile if you go stick to the left there will be marked men one of which should have a thermic lance (im not sure if its guaranteed) Be careful tho you will have to deal with multiple marked men and deathclaws while obtaining this weapon unless you run (Also prepare for radiation the farthest you will have to go is around 8/9 rads per second)
ahhhh that is awesome! :D I remember how fast 'The Courier' would punch with slayer and spiked knuckles! I remember using the Spiked knuckles and ballistic fist for unarmed assaults.
you can also buy the thermic lance and the Ballistic fist in the brotherhood of steal armory chick after you are cleared to buy all the merchandise. you can also pickpocket the key off of her to get in the back of the armory and loot the creates and power armor on the shelves. Worth doing in my opinion.
For the ballistic fists: you can buy it off a trader in the BOS bunker after you do a mission for them (Have a speech of 50 and it'll be a lot easier). She sells it for, I think, 600 caps. Also, she has two of them. That's an easy way.
As an unarmed specialist (heavy handed bully + agility) I'm currently using Love and Hate... me and Cass (@lvl10) managed to take on about 7-8 Van Graffs in combat armor by setting her to wait on point (she had less DT) and I hopped myself up on jet/med-x/psycho and ruined them all close up while Cass took long shots. However, I have heard about an elusive item called the Mantis Gauntlet, that if worn by a pre-planned character who takes all critical perks could hit crit almost 100% of the time!
Early game thermic lance can be acquired by meeting with veronica as soon as possible (or using any other method that exists to join the brotherhood if there is one) and then running through the main quest and joining the brother hood to unlock the full armory, I believe I saw it available when I first got there but I wasn't a melee at the time (tips too late anyway)
I was just wondering what are your thoughts on fallout 76 will? And the reason why I posted this comment on this video was because these nw weapon guide videos was the introduction to your channel for me way back then, I really enjoyed these videos when I was heavily into fallout new Vegas and I just wanted you to know even some the other guide videos you made on Minecraft and Skyrim are so well done. I guess what I'm saying is I hope to see some more Fallout, TES and etc. Guide videos in the future. :)
hey krim, a tip, if you did not know, black mountain, super mutants carrying darn good weapons worth a lot of caps selling, well, at higher levels like probably 14-16, they will even keep respawning, just make sure you don't kill tabitha, or fix rhonda, and you can also get annabelle, an unique missile launcher, even if it does have the same damage, but it IS, better than a standard missile launcher
The Camp Searchlight Firehouse hold a Giant Radscorpion Queen. Lots of Health, high Damage Threshold, powerful Base Damage, and nasty Poison Damage is something to be wary of. Bring Stimpaks, Antivenom, and Companions if necessary.I had Arcade Gannon in full Remnants Power Armor with the Q-35 Matter Modulator and ED-E with the Followers of the Apocalypse upgrade, while I used Ulysses' Outfit and Mask with a Ballistic Fist. It was a cakewalk for me, but I was level 45.
1:32 With how Grunt and Cowboy apply to Combat Knives, Chance's Knife is one of the best melee weapons in terms of dps. This more applies to Bloodnap, but that's a Knife you find in the Divide after submerging your body in radioactive fallout and angry deathclaws.
i think the way it works is that when the part that covers your knuckles touches anything, it triggers the sawed of shotgun to shoot both bullets at close range making it have high damage, glad it doesnt take ammo.
The Thermic Lance is always available at the BOS armory. If you're willing to pay 30,000 caps Two Step Goodbye is the best unarmed weapon in FO:NV upon critical hits the opponent becomes a bomb and explodes.
I've played fallout new vegas since it came out and i've only found 1 chainsaw and like 17 thermal lances in 1 game, the thermal lances are so much easier to find cause nearly every time the legion decides to attack you, its most likely 2 or 1 person got one.
No, luck only influences some speech options, gambling at casinos, and your chance to score a critical hit during combat. It does not influence what items spawn in the world at all.
They chose it for ease of access also. Most people use WASD as their movement controls, it's much easier to jump via 'E' since it is close to those keys. They aren't complex, but there are several options, and mapping them out correctly for gaming purposes is the key.
I just made a new playthrough yesterday, at level 2 I went north of Goodsprings, you know, cazadores and fiends, and i made it to gun runners just 30 minutes of playtime, it was hard as balls but worth it!
There is a place you will always be able to buy a thermic lance. you need to go to the 188 trading post and recruit veronica then you need to go to hidden valley and find the specific bunker the brotherhood of steel occupy. once that is done and you go through some dialogue you can buy the thermic lance. be it at a bit of a hefty price
There is also a unarmed Weapon at Bonnie Springs, which is a Brass Knuckle. I don't remeber how it's called, but it's something like Ruby and Gary or something. Bonnie Springs is located south of the Red Rock Canyon and Soth of Chances Map. One of the Fiend's Leader's has it.
I love the *Paladin Toaster* myself; it's the unique version of the Zap Glove, and it's a must-have if you intend to head off into the Big Empty for the Old World Blues DLC, as it is especially effective against the robot enemies- most notably Roboscorpions- encountered in the Big Empty.
You can find the Paladin Toaster in *Black Rock Cave,* located almost directly west from the El Dorado Gas & Service. Inside are three nightkin equipped with varying weapons, but the Paladin Toaster can be found on the body of a dead prospector towards the back of the cave.
The Paladin Toaster is less durable than it's standard counterpart, but has higher base damage and critical damage. When combined with the *Piercing Strike* perk, Unarmed attacks will ignore 15 points of a target's damage threshold, making it especially effective against robots of all kinds. You'll need to be at least Level 12 with an Unarmed skill of 70 to acquire this perk however. Just as well that it's better to wait until after you've reached Level 15 before departing for the Big Empty.
Will, y'know what'd be fun? A guide for different armors.
Divided between Medium and light, or factions?
YES TO ALL!
a channel called caedo genesis has an armor guide im not trying to advertise or anything
One of the vendors you failed to mention was the quartermaster in hidden bunker if you're a member of the Brotherhood of steel, from time to time that vendor is known to carry end-game weaponry.
Yeah, correct me if I’m wrong… she doesn’t if you haven’t finished their quest line (or upto still in the dark) until then you get lesser wears or something
thermac lance , super rare weapon
me: found it in a amunition box at level 4
Im level 8 on a hardcore run and the BOS immediately has 3
Never found it and I’m level 29
Katana with all upgrades, slayer, weapon binding ritual, rushing water, melee hacker maxed is just insane speed + insane dps
Even in the radioactive wastes of post war, a weeb wielding the mighty neet katana passed down from the forefathers for generations shall rise.
😑🙏Yes, enhanced with chems I love the katana weapon.
😳Also, if you've ever seen Days of Future Past(X-Men), you can re-enact Quick Silver's intro scenes by getting a few bumps of the GRX implant. When it wears off you'll still have time to see body parts that haven't hit the ground yet.
Ok... technically you can do that with any of the melee weapons I guess.
👍
I find that the brotherhood armory always sells ballistic fists and thermic lances.
Zach King yeah thats true for me too
Same
So it doesn't matter what level u r and if u have helped them any or not?
Landon Jones you have to help a little bit to get the fists so they open armory for you.
Late by years but hey. GRA means Greased Lightning is sold by the Brotherhood Armory, letting you attack 3 times a second before modifications. Throw on Slayer, Rushing Water, Ain't Like That Now and Super Slam to make your game (and its residents) hate you. Turbo / Implant GRX for good measure.

These videos got me into fallout when I was a kid man and all I can say is thanks man
Become my favorite game series ever
That voice, man O.O Sound like you could be an announcer for the history channel...also, nice guide...helped a lot...thanks ^.^
Saturnite fist super-heated + Pyromaniac perk = Godmode
I love when you said(OH BABY!!!!)
I like your guides, you are concise and thorough in your descriptions, and display a keen sense of self-edit in regards to appropriate humor, clear in your provided information, and clearly understandable in speech. Great job man.
Unarmed is easily the best way to go in New Vegas
I did the bad decision and deleted my unarmed character for a gunslinger R.I.P
Hello my twin
yeah, chance's is just ridiculous, esp since you can get it as soon as you step into the world. that swing speed is just sick and then you throw in all the right perks, benefits from BOTH cowboy and grunt, its just beast mode. crits for days. I always grab it no matter what my build is.
Why do you think that?
Blade of the west and Nuka-Breaker are my favorites so far.
The Ballistic Fist is a weapon that is approved by One Punch Man.
No its Yang Xiao Long
I know I'm late, but the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC has Two Steps Goodbye, the unique variant of the Ballistic Fist. Score a critical hit on your enemy and they explode! It's basically Kenshiro approved!
And Mr. Torgue
Embrace the Mantis king, Two step goodbye, greased lightning? I killed a sentry robot with the Mantis in one swing, A deathclaw "Rawr" (Lonesome road dlc) didn't even get a hit on me when using the Two step Killed it with 3 swings.
he doesn't include dlc-added weapons,in order to appeal to people who don't have them.
Herman The Friendly German
That and the fact this guide suite was made long before the DLC was put out...
Yeah. I just wanted to clarify some things. And a lot of people would love it if you did an updated weapon suite including all the dlc-added weapons,but to be honest,you were already super helpful to me.
+YOGSCAST Will You never put the Gobi Scout Rifle in a weapons guide. Why so?
Thanks for the tips dude. Oh, baby was especially easy to get because I already cleared the cave out from the quest you get from the doctor in jacobstown lodge.
Unarmed is beastly if you invest properly in perks. Stonewall, Penetrating Punch, Slayer, as well as some of the unarmed training you can learn from the Brotherhood, NCR, and Legion. Combine that with a high damage unarmed weapon and you can really do damage. I also tend to go Heavy Handed, because even with weaker crits you still deal a lot of damage fast. By the end even Deathclaws are pushovers.
+Takaithepanda My favorite is the NCR ranger takedown. If an enemy keeps killing me from a distance, i close it and knock 'em down. i do that with Nightkin alot.
Twinkie Monster
Unarmed is broken in New Vegas. I love it.
i find super slam better because you can use it facing any direction and not just moving back
+Twinkie “Josh” Monster how do you get that?
i plan on doing a unarmed build but I don't know where to put my special attributes at you got any suggestions?
you are an amazing commentator,not ONE second I was bored of this video,including the intro,and that is ALOT to say that someone likes the intro after seeing it 7 times.
Whenever i travel in the mojave wasteland, i have the chance to find a group of legionaries (im vilified with the legion) and they sometimes carry termical lances, so sometimes its not so rare to find these type of weapons.
I love this guys videos I wake up and watch them till I get bored but they don't
Before whatching this video I found a lance
This man has the perfect voice for describing weapons
Your absolutely right former president Obama
If DLCs were included, I would hope to see Protonic inversal axe! :)
the outro-parts of all your videos are so incredible awesome.. great work man :) love the music from the F3 endings
the vendor at the hidden valley bunker sells a thermic lance
"and the chainsaw" holy crap your tone when you said it was so freaking awesome
Melee + Turbo GRX = I win
Me+AMR GRA all upgrades+.50MG Explosive= I AM THE GOD OF GODS!!!!!!
aylamaiia Me + Survivalists' Rifle + Ulysses' Duster + 1st Recon Beret + Guns 100 + Better Criticals + Grunt Perk = Well, that was easy.
Gabriel Hole-Jones Still not enough base damage to One-Shot me. So I still win.
aylamaiia Survivalists' Rifle keeps the rate of fire of the regular service rifle, making it a good alternative to your Anti- Material rifle build. Still, I often end up with that build sooner or later anyway.
Gabriel Hole-Jones True, but life will end from a single shot on my end. Why shoot five to kill, when one will still do the trick?
Will you be doing a weapon guide for the DLCs? The way you present info is much more entertaining than looking at guide pages.
If yer siding against the Leigon, Leigonary Assassins tend to use the Thermic Lance a lot as melee, least during my playthroughs. Pretty much once you get Boone your Leigon Infamy will swiftly rise, soon leading to higher-grade assassins with Thermic Lances.
Do not remind me of the hell I was faced. I was level 13, and I was vilified by the Legion. put two and two together and you'll find out how much fun I had
NarcassisticGamer I vilified myself early on for a helmet from the assassins to make a sort of Predator look in combination with metal armor.
NarcassisticGamer They were hard for me to deal with at early levels, but once I killed the first set I stole all of their weapons and from then on they weren't a big deal. In fact, from then on every time I saw them I said "Sweet! Free guns!"
On my current play through Boone and I are like twins, we both use a scoped hunting rifle and 1st recon beret, needless to say at level 27 we are a force to be reckoned with. I love waiting for the legionary Assassin's to try us.
(Yes the Assassin's most certainly do bring along with them power fists and thermic lances)
Gratuitous Lurking The Legion assassins you come across use thermic lances? The ones I come across use Anti-Material rifles and grenade launchers.
Holy shit, I finally found these videos again, this shit got me into New Vegas, my favorite game of all time. Holy fuck, Thanks William for doing all of these videos!
Even tho they r outdated and so fucking inaccurate now
picks up knock knock: HERES JOHNNY
Dude your Fallout NV Weapons guid are the best
Who are "They"?
I'm pretty sure I'm a one man production.
Enjoying your videos. Pretty professional stuff here man, nicely done.
I Got The Thermic Lance By Killing Legionary Assasains At The Start Of The Game Lol
Same :))
+Raging Gaming- Fifa, Minecraft, Cod Channel Degenerates like you belong on the cross
I bought mine at the brother hood of steel and also the anti-material rifle
Then blew them for Caesar!Ave true to Caesar!
I found one at The Divide
Unlike most lenghty intros on youtube, Link's is actually good and not annoying to watch.
I found the thermic lance on one of Caesar's assasins ( I think they only spawn if you are vilified by them ) and I found the chainsaw on
one of Caesar's men who was making something when i entered the fort! Thanks for the videos man i have almost every weapon you have shown in your videos :)
You didnt cover the paladin toaster
Will you be doing a weapon series for dlc? Your videos tend to be the most helpful.
Best Melee for me is love and hate
it is unarmed
Watched these guides and they are very well done, awesome job. The oh baby gave me bad memory though, i gave it to Veronica to use since i'm not much in the sledges but didin't want to have a good weapon like that lying around, she lost it i guess dropped after critical hit somewhere in vault 34, only noticed it after i got out of that place and don't really like the idea of going back there and search for it, i really hate that place for it's radiation.
Is knock-knock referencing to the shining or any movie like that.
+Τζουλιανο Χοτζα Probably.
Personally my favourite melee weapon is the rebar club it may not or powerful but it's helped me get out of a lot of tough situations
Intro song, please? :)
dat repost
These videos are so well done, and very useful. Thank you for being awesome!
whats the intro song?
***** You're trying way to hard to attract attention kiddo.
***** I suppose you haven't really played the game or have no taste in good games since minecraft is a great game.
***** So do I but without underwear.
I usually don't wear pants but i always wear a g-string making me have mega side balls.
***** what is this about
I had found the lance near the beginning not realizing that its one of the best melee weapons
Chance's Knife and Love And Hate (unique spiked knuckles) do a ton of damage when you consider their damage to carry weight ratio. Each only weighs 1 pound, swings faster, does more damage and more critical damage than their non-unique counterparts. With the Pack Rat perk they each weight only half a pound. If you like to have silent/non-ballistic weapons on hand but don't want to add a whole lot of extra weight to your load, either one is a great choice.
Also, with all the perks that increase attack speed Chance's Knife can rival the dps of Oh Baby! which is pretty impressive. 276 dps for Chance's Knife and 309 dps for Oh Baby! but Oh Baby! wins hands down when it comes to damage per hit. Sorry to go on so long, I just love these weapons and this game so much. LOL.
I only use melee weapons in oh shit i'm out of ammo moments but your guides are very helpful i hope to see a New Vegas DLC guide soon.
You gotta love Raul's attitude:3
I wish he would at least confirm that he won't do a DLC guide, IS working on one, MIGHT work on one, etc.
Give us some feedback, William! We love your guides!
I got two Thermic Lances. One of them in the Lonesome Road DLC being carried by a Marked man, and the second one in stock by the vendor at Hidden Valley, in the Brotherhood of Steel bunker

Two-Step Goodbye is in the Gun Runner's Arsenal Add-On. From what he was saying, all these weapons can be found in the base game without having to buy additional DLC.
Love And Hate - the unique spiked knuckles - is very powerful, a must-have early in an unarmed run.
I didn't even look up what the surprise was in the fire station, but not I was not ready!
The thermic lance can be purchased at the Brotherhood of Steel Hidden Valley Bunker, all you need to do is gain entrance to the Bunker which only requriers one or two quests to get acsess to their basic munitions however it might be at 50% or less condition. you might not find it right away just keep waiting 48 hours until it appears in stock if this does not work you have to complete the B.O.S quest line plus one extra misson to become one of them then a lance will be instock at full condition
oh baby is probably my most favorite.
I love how he talks melee and unarmed weapons down at the end.
If you have the DLC for the divide once you are able to go to the couriers mile if you go stick to the left there will be marked men one of which should have a thermic lance (im not sure if its guaranteed) Be careful tho you will have to deal with multiple marked men and deathclaws while obtaining this weapon unless you run (Also prepare for radiation the farthest you will have to go is around 8/9 rads per second)
ahhhh that is awesome! :D
I remember how fast 'The Courier' would punch with slayer and spiked knuckles!
I remember using the Spiked knuckles and ballistic fist for unarmed assaults.
The thing I don't regret
Give Veronica te ballistic glove
Nice intro
you can also buy the thermic lance and the Ballistic fist in the brotherhood of steal armory chick after you are cleared to buy all the merchandise. you can also pickpocket the key off of her to get in the back of the armory and loot the creates and power armor on the shelves. Worth doing in my opinion.
Also Knight Torres, once Liked by the Brotherhood, does have the Ballistic Fist ready to be buy from.
I got the thermic lance when you first got access to the shop at the brother hood which was awesome.
A great version of the brass knuckles is love and hate, which could be found at an abandoned town near red rock canyon
In Fallout games you usually jump by pressing a button like 'e' or 'q' since the spacebar is used to pick up or activate any items.
For the ballistic fists: you can buy it off a trader in the BOS bunker after you do a mission for them (Have a speech of 50 and it'll be a lot easier). She sells it for, I think, 600 caps. Also, she has two of them. That's an easy way.
As an unarmed specialist (heavy handed bully + agility) I'm currently using Love and Hate... me and Cass (@lvl10) managed to take on about 7-8 Van Graffs in combat armor by setting her to wait on point (she had less DT) and I hopped myself up on jet/med-x/psycho and ruined them all close up while Cass took long shots.
However, I have heard about an elusive item called the Mantis Gauntlet, that if worn by a pre-planned character who takes all critical perks could hit crit almost 100% of the time!
Early game thermic lance can be acquired by meeting with veronica as soon as possible (or using any other method that exists to join the brotherhood if there is one) and then running through the main quest and joining the brother hood to unlock the full armory, I believe I saw it available when I first got there but I wasn't a melee at the time (tips too late anyway)
I was just wondering what are your thoughts on fallout 76 will? And the reason why I posted this comment on this video was because these nw weapon guide videos was the introduction to your channel for me way back then, I really enjoyed these videos when I was heavily into fallout new Vegas and I just wanted you to know even some the other guide videos you made on Minecraft and Skyrim are so well done. I guess what I'm saying is I hope to see some more Fallout, TES and etc. Guide videos in the future. :)
hey krim, a tip, if you did not know, black mountain, super mutants carrying darn good weapons worth a lot of caps selling, well, at higher levels like probably 14-16, they will even keep respawning, just make sure you don't kill tabitha, or fix rhonda, and you can also get annabelle, an unique missile launcher, even if it does have the same damage, but it IS, better than a standard missile launcher
i can't believe you didn't mention "love and hate"
The Camp Searchlight Firehouse hold a Giant Radscorpion Queen. Lots of Health, high Damage Threshold, powerful Base Damage, and nasty Poison Damage is something to be wary of. Bring Stimpaks, Antivenom, and Companions if necessary.I had Arcade Gannon in full Remnants Power Armor with the Q-35 Matter Modulator and ED-E with the Followers of the Apocalypse upgrade, while I used Ulysses' Outfit and Mask with a Ballistic Fist. It was a cakewalk for me, but I was level 45.
1:32 With how Grunt and Cowboy apply to Combat Knives, Chance's Knife is one of the best melee weapons in terms of dps.
This more applies to Bloodnap, but that's a Knife you find in the Divide after submerging your body in radioactive fallout and angry deathclaws.
I'm glad you mentioned Pushy and Oh Baby!
never put a point in melee/unarmed and pushy destroys when i get up close and personal with my enemies. >:]
It also slightly increases all your stats. But just slightly. I think it also determines how often the guns/weapons of your enemies jam.
The ballistic fist is technically a pressure activated shotgun, as theres a pressure plate on the end of the glove
If you help the BoS and become one of them, they usually have Thermic Lances at their merchant.
Thermic lance can also be found from the Brotherhood vender
Great vid, btw you forgot the paladin toaster
man i love raul, never get boring travel the mojave with him around
i think the way it works is that when the part that covers your knuckles touches anything, it triggers the sawed of shotgun to shoot both bullets at close range making it have high damage, glad it doesnt take ammo.
The Thermic Lance is always available at the BOS armory. If you're willing to pay 30,000 caps Two Step Goodbye is the best unarmed weapon in FO:NV upon critical hits the opponent becomes a bomb and explodes.
I've played fallout new vegas since it came out and i've only found 1 chainsaw and like 17 thermal lances in 1 game, the thermal lances are so much easier to find cause nearly every time the legion decides to attack you, its most likely 2 or 1 person got one.
No, luck only influences some speech options, gambling at casinos, and your chance to score a critical hit during combat. It does not influence what items spawn in the world at all.
katana man....that's the real deal...if u can upgrade with the blade it's just sweet to play it.
I think you should do a weapon guide that lists the best "easy to acquire" weapons, instead of unique/rare ones.
Other than that, your vids are great!
They chose it for ease of access also. Most people use WASD as their movement controls, it's much easier to jump via 'E' since it is close to those keys. They aren't complex, but there are several options, and mapping them out correctly for gaming purposes is the key.
You can buy a thermic lance from the brotherhood of steel. It's a guaranteed spot at the weapon vendor next to the firing range
I just made a new playthrough yesterday, at level 2 I went north of Goodsprings, you know, cazadores and fiends, and i made it to gun runners just 30 minutes of playtime, it was hard as balls but worth it!
I remember finding my 1st Thermic Lance I ran around new Vegas killing everything for about an hour it was such an interesting weapon
There is a place you will always be able to buy a thermic lance. you need to go to the 188 trading post and recruit veronica then you need to go to hidden valley and find the specific bunker the brotherhood of steel occupy. once that is done and you go through some dialogue you can buy the thermic lance. be it at a bit of a hefty price
Please do a Fallout New Vegas let's play. I've just finished watching your fallout 3 let's play and it would be awesome to do new vegas one!
There is also a unarmed Weapon at Bonnie Springs, which is a Brass Knuckle. I don't remeber how it's called, but it's something like Ruby and Gary or something. Bonnie Springs is located south of the Red Rock Canyon and Soth of Chances Map. One of the Fiend's Leader's has it.
When you first enter the fire station, if you have a pushy with good unarmed, you can easily one hit kill the 'surprise'.
