eeeeddd37 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What weapons do npcs use the best. I am reverse pickpocketing big town and want to give them the best weapons they can use. They don't seem to be doing to well with assault rifles, scoped 44 magnum, combat shotguns, and miniguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could have low weapon skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakken Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I personally noticed that almost any npc besides the factions have GREAT handling with energy weapons. I don't know why, but they do. By the way, if you're wondering why gatling laser may be inaccurate, it's big guns not energy weapons. I have had many followers, such as jericho. He lost his chinese assault rifle and I gave him a combat shotgun. He died. I reloaded, and gave him simply a laser pistol. He hit everything in the eyes... lol.

Ikyoto Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Be sure to use the speech option to train the teenagers at bigtown to use the guns. Otherwise they have trouble hitting the ground when they fall down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeddd37 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I trained them in weapons. Maybe it wasn't the best option. Maybe mines or robots would have been better. They also blow each other up with the mininuke. It seems random npcs get the mininuke. Or is it hidden somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poliochi Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you're using the PC version, use the "getav ____" where the blank is filled by a skill name or S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute (ex. "getav smallguns") of the targeted thing. See what they're best with and equip them accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeddd37 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks. I think I will also try to mod their suit skills and give them less common suits like roboco. I might also change their npc layouts. The cowardly value doesn't quite work well with weapons because they just run away. I think I will try to change their confidence, stats (small guns, etc...), base health and maybe combat style settings. All the players seem to be default combat settings.
