New Vegas Mod Detectives

[ThegnAnsgar]

I'm looking for a mod that adds an additional ammo type to the game; that being a 40mm shotgun shell that could be used in the grenade launcher or grenade rifle. I tend to play characters who travel very light (carrying three weapons at most; melee, sidearm, and primary), and I love using shotguns, but I would like to have something versatile so I could shoot 40mm grenades if I wanted as well, so carrying that kind of ammo in place of carrying an extra weapon would be awesome.

Does such a mod exist, and if not is it possible to do this in the game?


Disregard, realized it's in CASE.

I'm looking for a mod that does two things:

 

1. Nerf's the amount of damage a Cazadore does to you (SOB's tear through your armor like it was tissue paper, even on Very Easy) and changes it so the poison damage is randomized instead of poison damage happening on the first hit.

In my opinion, creatures like the Cazadore are great. They generally require thought and preparation. Much like in the real world if you found you had to go through a region with Kodiak bears. Stay on the high ground. Do careful and patient sniping (hard). Carry a high fire 'area-effect' weapon like an SMG and hot hey it (like you keep it in a holster not your backpack). Again pick your spot, don't get jumped, run if you they get close. Use the SMG and 'fire for effect'.... They don't follow you very far. They are very territorial (protect the hive). They generally show up in small numbers. They can fairly easily be drawn off (so you kill only one at a time). They have relatively low hit points and no armor (DT & DR are both 0). They give good experience points at death due to the danger they represent.

 

The wasp it is supposedly descended from has the most painful sting of all stinging insects. So that the poison being a booger is entirely by design and consistent with what the Tarantula Hawk Wasp (which it closely resembles just on a MUCH larger scale).

 

If you are having problems with non-essential NPCs getting stung to death, do the Honest Hearts DLC and stock up on Datura AntiVenom (since NPCs will use that on their own). Or there are mods which enable NPCs to use plain old antivenom (if you don't have that DLC)

 

In combat you should generally ignore the young ones until the adults are dead. The adults have more powerful poison and are 1.5 to 2x as likely to hit you. Plus they are much easier to hit (due to their size).

 

Also worth knowing is that even though they will attack in swarms, this is not a pack mentality. It is more about that they like to sting things. So a method designed to draw one away will rarely draw more then one.

 

I suggest that instead of looking for a way around them, you say 'challenge accepted'.

One which I have considered nerfing is the Nightstalkers. They always seem to come very fast and in larger packs. However I discovered that if I shoot their legs or body instead of their head to work there.

Just as a tip to add onto bjornl's excellent advice for cazadores; if you use VATS, aim for their wings with a high DPS weapon like a sub machine gun (or if you have the LMG, that will rip them to shreds. It's probably my favourite weapon to use on them). You'll easily cripple their wings, and they move a lot slower that way so you can take them out easier. They won't even have a chance to get to you if you do that. Also, if you have ED-E, make use of his sensors. Cazadores are easy to spot on the radar because they move around so erratically (though sometimes simply relying on that can make you think it's cazadores when it's really bloatflies who move in a similar manner, but better to think it's a group of cazadores and find out it's bloatflies than the other way around).

Gauss projectile...

 

if that is a rip-off, i would sincerely like to know where the original is.

 

or a mod that adds a fallout-tactics-style gauss projectile, (different from what i just posted)

 

what looks like there is a tiny projectile flying at insane speeds and rippling air around it (and a blue effect just to be cool)

Is there a mod that lets you wait while enemies are present? I thought there was one. Can it be done through console?

[masani23]

So I really want to play through Fallout New Vegas again, but I haven't been able to decide if I want to play that or F3. I want to compromise by finding a mod that allows me to play the F3 DLC in NV, but not that mod that allows you to go to both Wastelands. I just want the DLC from 3 in the Mojave. Does such a thing exist?

Are there any good mods out there that help expand the Powder Gangers? After their main quest they feel like a non-entity in New Vegas, so I'm looking for a mod that would, for example, add new quests for them or adds more functionality to the NCRCF. I've looked, and all I can find are mods that clean up the prison yard or change the powder ganger outfits.

Okay detectives I need help, what mod adds a craftable item called Gecko Sight and what does it do?

No nothing like that exists, there isn't anyway possible to get FO3 DLC to play on FNV cause that would be flat out copyright and be illegal.

A Tale of Two Wastelands does add the FO3 DLC, along with the rest of the wasteland. If you wanted to just play the DLC you could use the coc console command to teleport yourself to where the DLCs start. It's the closest that you'll be able to get, I'm afraid.
