Unique Weapons : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:49 pm

I'm hoping this game will have unique versions of all the weapons (Like Fallout 3 did) that will have distinct advantages and disadvantages.

To start it off....

An assault rifle that shoots explosive rounds that will decimate an enemy's armor, making them more vulnerable with every shot. However, the assault rifle will either use more ammunition per shot or have a special ammunition of it's own.

What all do you want?

A flame thrower that fires FEV enhanced flesh eating bacteria rather than napalm.

Given what we've seen of Uniques in FO3, I'm not sure they should even be in F:NV without being massively re-balanced.

If they are to be in, what I would like is for them to not be several orders of magnitude better than the common version and also to actually LOOK unique, much like LR looks vastly different than the Hunting Rifles it purports to be a unique variant of.

A goldplated snub-nosed revolver that's found in Caesar's palace, and belongs to the leader of the legions.

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

throwning weapons would be nice.. rocks that distract from an area.
knives and stuff

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 really like the idea of the unique appearance, LR and Paulson's Revolver seemed to be the only 2 with changed appearances in F3

And to address your other point, of course the newer uniques should be balanced out, Like I said in the OP, distinct advantages and disadvantages for each unique.

We do not need a new MB "Kill everything in a single shot" weapon.

There will be unique weapons in FONV. I can't speak to balance, but each unique weapon will have its own custom skin. As already referenced in this thread: We know that there will be a unique Colt 1911 that features engraving and grips depicting the Virgin Mary.

Edit for my own request: I'd like to see the Gangster-style Thompson return. With wood furniture and a forward grip and drum magazine.

Silenced laser guns! ;'D

Some kinda 50.cal Sniper rifle.

50.cal weapons should be in the game.

REVOLVER SHOTGUN WITH BREAK-ACTION LIKE THE SAWN-OFF HAS

Sorry.

As long as they actually look unique, unlike FO3's "Unique" weapons, I'll be happy.

A humungous black 357 magnum called the "Black Mamba".

Or the Joker's huge stretched revolver in Tim Burton's Batman, you could call it "The Nicholson". The one he shot the Batwing down with. lmao.

A big gun lazer weapon called

Nuclear accelerator Particle-beam weapon

A.K.A - NAB-BW

Its description just say's

Don't cross the beam's.

It would be hilarious to have a Proton Pack. We could catch the ghosts of Garys past. "I looked in the trap Ray."

"Don't cross the streams!"

how about this weapon sported by chigurh in "no country for old men" .

Modern military crossbow with night vision scope.

I didn't like the way unique items were done in Fallout 3...it felt really artificial. Uniques should be things like prototypes, showpieces from collections, etc., and they should be more than just slightly better versions of regular weapons.

winchester p94 plasma rifle

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:33 am

I felt like the unique version of a weapon should have actually looked unique but apparently that was a big no, no for the devs working on Fallout 3... :'|

How about a unique type of plasma rifle or pistol that shoots red/green plasma? We could call it the the "Elves Bane."

You could do a side quest to help out a troubled clown and he rewards you with an acid pistol
