No, you cant. IIRC, there are only 18 Mini Nukes in this game. Doesnt make sense why, the Fat Man isn't even particularly powerfully in New Vegas. They nerfed it pretty bad.

Well, I just stick them in one of my 'weapons crates' in my L38 PS. I stick all my rare goodies in the boxes unless they can set up a scene.

One would have thought that popping a mini nuke would obliterate an entire town/village given the name of the ordinance and the name of the delivery hardware. Go figger ...

Well that is, until you mess around a little bit, fix the Demolition Expert perk list get it up to 600+ damage. Fair enough considering there aren't any behemoths.

Too bad its actually worthless regardless because the Missile Launcher can outshine it since it has a smaller radius but can kill the same enemies in the same # of shots basically.

Well I can understand. I don't find any skill a dump stat besides when I choose between Medicine or Survival and even then I try to up all of them. Main reason is for perks sake for other weapons, I.E. How pyromaniac is set up, and what my current character is built around so its Explosives, Energy Weapons, and Melee. Its a pretty good combo as Explosives helps a lot at the start of the game, what with the stockpile of Dynamite you get, and it lends itself towards Melee and Energy because of said perk, which goes into other stuff. Chain reaction deal I guess.

I've found merits in basically every skill.. well.. I'm still iffy on Sneak in New Vegas. Doesn't feel as effective simply because there's less places to hide and most of the game is spent outdoors.

Lockpick
Speech
Science
Medicine

2nd Tier

Gun
Survival (Only for Animal Friend)
Repair (Mainly for jury rigging

3rd Tier

Sneak
Barter

Any other skill:

Dump stat

You sound a lot like a friend of mine... Only his is more like Melee and Unarmed. Everything else is dump stat for him. :sweat: Trust me, I think he actually enjoys it like that.

I agree, explosives are fun, but not practical atm.
I wish achemidies would get a boost aswell, shot a deathclaw the thing just ran through it and ket attacking, had to finish it off with a shotgun. Archemidies should be a 1 hit kill, its a laser after all.
Could someone compare damage of a 100 EW character to one with 0 EW ? If archemidies isnt effected I dont need EW, its a EW but I dont think it would be effected given its so unique.

You can get more mini-nukes from Boomers; you can do it the mercifully or tediously.
