Where do u find the fatman and ammo for it?! I have about 55 play hours and have yet to find a fatman or any mini nukes for it. Where do u find/buy it?!

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fat_Man_%28Fallout:_New_Vegas%29. IIRC it's not that good anymore. I believe Obsidian nerfed it like they did with the sniper rifle. :shrug:

See this kinda confuses me

It's still the most powerful explosives weapon in the game and has the highest DAM of any other weapon (and that's without the associated perks).

You're probably right, but if I remember, the Fatman did more damage in FO3 than it did in New Vegas. If I'm wrong on that then I guess I'll have a healthy serving of Crow to eat :yucky: .

only 15 mini nukes in the game... not worth it.

there is a boomer that has 3 mini nukes and a fat man and she repawns every 3 days if you kill her

Eh i like the boomers haha (:

It's rectum now it only has slightly more damage than c4 a nuke may i add.

Yah your right

I dont know how Obsidian does there logic. Fatman= not big explosion(fail). Like really it did 1000 damage in F3 and it was AMAZING!!

Thats why theres silencers for sniper rifles and sneak mode.


I could be wrong but I though the Fatman in NV had a much bigger explosion. I guess since I don't use them as much they seem bigger.

Besides we have a splash damage, demolition expert, and other explosive perks to help boost that badboy.

Unique fatman name - BadBoy or Daddy's Little Girl.- Instead of using min-nukes it uses clusters of missiles that catapult out through the sky. hehehe. Overpowered? Well we already have DM vendors.

Use the missile launcher instead. Ammo and repairs are far more common.

15 mini nukes?????? What the [censored]??? Does that mean no merchant will sell them on a constant basis? What a load of baloney! I guess I'm stuck with Annabelle. Nothing wrong with Annabelle mind you.....but I wanted to use a FatMan....

Yah no merchants sell them for some reason....But the fatman is awesome with its CRAZY explosions!!

What they did was worse.....with the sniper rifle at least there was the period where it got the job done before they nerfed it (not to mention made it less accurate....I swear I could do better shooting freehand before the patch then after).....the Fat Man was worthless from the beginning. I shot one at a Deathclaw and took more damage from the shot than it did. In FO3 it could drop a Behemoth in one shot.

Found one in the east pond in the quarry north of the miner camp on I-15

I don't get it...they nerf weapons like FatMan yet they don't do anything about the Alien Blaster. That gun is mad OP, but "limited on ammo". So is the Fatman! You have to actually buy expensive mini nukes(although no one sells them, so you have to scavenge) whereas ALL the alien blaster ammo is given to you.

They did patch the alien blaster down to 80ish dam from 100ish but the fatman may as well be shooting dandy boy apples.

i found a fatman in the quarry after killing all the deathclaws.it is in the back of the quarry in a puddle of water.good luck.

If they hadn't cut the Rock-it-Launcher you actually could shoot Dandy Boy Apples, by adding them to the ammo list. :lmao:

I ended up modding the Fat Man to do more base damage, as well as adding it to the Demolition Expert form list (which it isn't on, for some reason), but the ammo situation is still a pain. I added 1 mini-nuke to the Boomer's merchant's vendor list, but it has the annoying habit of not refreshing so I am tempted to add 1 to the Vendortron's list as well.

I can see why they limited the ammo, as it was entirely possible to use it almost exclusively in FO3 if you had the income thanks to Flak & Shrapnel selling up to 4 mini-nukes per refresh, but I think they went a bit too far in that regard.

Even with the additional small ammo supply I still don't use the thing very much, although that's honestly probably just as well since with my improvements it can kill pretty much anything in one shot like it's supposed to. On the other hand, that small supply means I can pull it out every so often when I really want something dead right now, so at least it doesn't sit in a crate collecting dust.
