Unique Weapons : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:37 am

Tactic has one. First mission. maybe it was a spear gun... oh well I liked that idea. Put some explosives on it.

Oh yeah!

At a workbench, combine:
- Dynamite and harpoons

The problem I am having thinking of new Unique weapons is I don't know what ammo will be in the game. without a wide Variety of ammo I can't think of what guns there could be.

Having a rare gun in the game is pointless if the ammo is not there.
Like I have been wanting 50.cal weapons well without 50.cal ammo there is no point.

The unique weapons in fallout 3 were not all that unique they were just weapons with different names like "old painless." It may have had some differences but it was just the same as all the others. The Devs used the same models just added unique names. Only one of a kind in fallout 3 is the lincoln repeater.

Really this topic should be called Unique names for weapons.

Fallout tactics did it right. The unique weapons were one of a kind guns. Like the "Ruger AC556F" "Walther MPL" "Chauchat" (did not work just there for a joke), and Bren Gun. They were Unique they did not look like any other guns in the game.

I heard that the "Unique" weapons will have entirely unique skins and abilities.

Such as the unique pistol that has a picture of the Virgin Mary sculpted into the grip.

Just I hope they have alot of different calibers. If it is a .44 with a virgin Mary it's still a .44. I want one of a kind guns. No other like it. Like the lincoln repeater.
I am talking about different as in apples and oranges. AK-47 to M16

Like "I have a gold desert eagle while everyone else has silver." big deal I want "everyone else has assault rifles I have an M60"

that level of unique.

Unique weapons should mean Rare one of a kind weapons not different looking versions of the everyday weapons.
The way fallout tactics had it was the best.

its a plasma rifle that shoots yellow plasma in the shape of a halo and has the virgin mary on the grip, its also made of a gold coloured metal

Mabye golden pistol/ rifle with gilded olive leaves down the barrel, the leader of Ceasors Legion could have it
Outcast coloured weapons.
Paint so you can paint weapons how ever you want!

there is a diffrent between being unique and being tasteless, ^ that is tasteless, the unique pistol is unique and classy judging by the picture I seen in the magazine.

Well I know one gun I won't be using.

An Elvis gun on the other hand, that garbage would be enough to kill someone just by hearing it...ugh. "You Aint Nothin But a Hound Dog..." *cough, choke* dead.

Ah I see. You mean like an automatic that fires magnum rounds or a revolver that fires shotgun shells.

yeah weapons like that. A revolver that takes shotgun shells would be great. If the game has deer slugs that would be even better. weapons that are not just the same old weapon but with a different look and small stat change.

I would also like real world weapons made during or before the 1950's to be Unique weapons as well. Old western revolvers, tommy gun, M60.

but yeah I would love a revolver that shoots dear slugs.

Unique like a fish to slap people with.

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:46 am

Right...A "normal Crossbow"

And then, a Crossbow that shoots flaming rounds, setting the enemy on fire, and draining their health

It would be AMAZING

super mutant weapons, that become heavy weapons for everyone else -their idea of a hunting rifle starts with .50cal

Yes, originally, Super Mutants generally used heavy weapons, such as the minigun and rocket launchers, however in FO3 they routinely used normal hunting and assault rifles.

Yeah, there will be loads of cool unique weapons I've heard, but this time they actually look different too!

An assault rifle that shoots explosive rounds... I'd rather have different ammo have different types instead like Full Metal Jacket, Armor Piercing, Hollow Point (Incendiary, Explosive if you want, but I'm not too keen on them) and they'd be effective and ineffective against certain enemies and armor.

I would love to see them bring back different ammo types. This was always an option in FO1/2. Hollow Point, Jacketed, and Armor Peircing IIRC.

But mostly, the Unique Weapon I want to see the most is the .223 Pistol.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/223_Pistol

And, like in the original games I want this, and other pistols, to not be totally useless after about 2 hours worth of gametime. (with the sole exception of the silenced 10mm, simply because until the Pitt, it was the only silenced gun)

The .223 Pistol does appear in FO3, but only through mods.
I think Bethesda should take a look at some of the modded guns put onto FO3 like the FAL, and AK-47, and add some of these in

Also, have customisable weapons (also featured in a mod) where you can add scopes, silencers, laser sights, extended rounds etc etc

seams someone hasen?t been paying attention...we have known for quite a while it?s official confirmed there will be weapon mods.

There needs to be a medieval museum with a load of all of that crap.

i agree

Unfortunately, my PC wasn't up to snuff in '08 and I had to play on the 360. I've been seriously debating re-purchasing the game on PC now that I've got a new rig, and modding it.

Also, Bethesda isn't making FO:NV. Obsidian is, and they are definately adding more modern weapons, I've seen pics of an M16/M4 in Magazine previews.

Yeah, mods...not customization IN the game....

And no, I haven't really...I've only just started coming to this part of the forum

when I mean mod I didn?t mean gameplay mod, I literally mean weapon mod, as in something to modify your weapon

For stealthy characters I would like a blackjack type weapon, if you sneak up on an enemy and hit them unaware they will be knocked out not killed, leaving you free to take all their stuff, your sneak skill would have to be over, say 75% or somthing.

» Fri May 27, 2011 2:25 pm

Shotgun with silencer (yes they do exist!)

a bigass chainsaw

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:11 am

Shotgun with silencer (yes they do exist!)

yes they do but they only work well silenced with slugs, so unless multiple types of ammo is back shotguns are stuck with buck shots and so make no sense to silent (then there is also the gameplay balance of giving a player a weapon with the striking power of a shotgun that?s also silent)

now back OT about Unique versions of weapons in the game

I would love to see a pump action shotgun with the same kind of fancy treatment as the unique handgun featured in magazine articles as well as being custom built to be semi auto thus giving a slight increase in rate of fire

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:12 am

I cant believe no ones mentioned the Tommy Gun. Make it like the Lincolns Repeater though, only one and hard to find.
Unique double barrel shotgun thats an over-under instead?
Rail gun super compressed into an over the shoulder launcher (like the Tesla Cannon)
What was the hunting rifle in FO3 is now a lever action.
Throwback to old FO2 weapons (Gauss pistol, Jackhammer, .233 sniper rifle)
Also the return of the Louisville Slugger bat from FO2 (unique baseball bat)

The http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Tommy_Gun was in Fallout 2 as well. Heck, why not bring back most of the weapons from Fallout 2 as uniques?

Bola grenades!

Plasma caltrops!

Bear trap lancher!

Taser flail!

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:20 am

I would love to see bear trap boxing gloves for a heavy handed melee character.

A floppy purple [censored] like the one in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas so you could beat somebody to death with it. What would you call it? The Tally Whacker of course.
