MuteSignals Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Robbing the Casinos, but with 1 Luck!? I saw a Youtube video recently explaining how you will always have a net loss of chips if your Luck is below 7 for blackjack and below 6 for slots/roulette making it near impossible to actually break the bank at a casino. So I thought of a funny challenge where you start a 1 Luck character but only use temporary boosts so you can raise your stats and then leave the casino with 1 Luck and a boat load of caps. Whilst there are many permanent perks, traits and rewards to get you to 10 Luck easily, Temporary boosts are more limited. To achieve this you can only... +1 Obtain Naughty Nightwear - Easily bought for either 200 caps or stolen from Mick & Ralph's +1 Obtain Lucky Shades - Slightly more difficult, found in the Legion Safehouse. Reaching a "Liked" reputation with the Legion will give you access either by giving 50 NCR dogtags to Aurelius of Phoenix or Doing some quests. +1 Gain Meat of Champions - Harder, You must have the Cannibal perk and use it to eat the 4 corpses of Caesar, Mr. House, The King, and President Kimball. Before gambling you would need to eat a human corpse and reach a betting table in under 60 seconds. Through those base game methods, You will have 4 Luck. Still not high enough to gain favourable odds of at least 6-7 so you can also... +2 Choose Early Bird Trait - An Old World Blues addition which adds more points to all SPECIAL stats between 6am and 12pm. +4 Choose Just Lucky I'm Alive Perk - Probably the most time consuming route but would get the player to 10 Luck making the gambling the easiest it can be in combination with everything else. You need Neutral Karma at Level 50 which would also be exceptionally hard. Any other options wouldn't be useful or be permanent thus can't leave the building with just 1 Luck as far as is noted on the Wiki. There may be some unlisted food items which could help out but this challenge, in order to meet Kimball, eat Caesar, reach level 50 if you want max luck would require a fairly played through game and can't just be gathered like on a new character.

laclongquan Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Not funny, more like masochist challenge~ A bad luck gambler want to break the casinos, eh~ As a not-liking-casino-or-cards, I broke casino by using Luck10, and it still take too much time as it is. Luck 1? Let assume it's possible but even so, it would have been way too time-consuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The challenge I'm going to try on my next run is kill Malcolm Holmes with Pew Pew before he can engage me in dialogue, I've tried it before but he got me as I came out of a building, I still had about twenty more Star Bottle Caps to collect so I wasn't even close.

Can you cripple his legs to buy you some more time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a save and wait once in a while just to make sure that he's still following, if he turns up while you're waiting then it's all good and you can reload the save. The Wiki says he can be killed by enemies but I've never seen him be attacked, it's still worth checking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laclongquan Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 One challenge I done before and might try again after I get bored of my RtC campaign: Playing at low level. Use a mod to triple the xp threshold to level up, and Skilled trait to get -10%xp. You can one shot enemies with grenades that way, they are so low HP. Obviously, yourself can get blown to smithereen by dynamites~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
