Advanced Recon Nightvision bug? Secret?

[mandude002]

I have installed the advanced recon nightvision mod, but it wasnt really working for me. Anyway, here is the sequel of events and the result:

sheriff Simms is dead, as is a bunch of other people in the town.

I accepted Burkes offer to detonate bomb, but later decide I want a house

not sure how to get key, kill burke. Karma gained

pickpocket, get house key

 

Result:

 

In burkes house, on the shelves on the right, was 2 masks:

-Advanced Recon Breather MK1

-Advanced Recon Nightvision Mk1

 

They have effects:

-water breathing, rad. res +25 Pois. res. +25

"Crit. Chan. +3" Per +2

in respective order

 

i googled and found nothing of what "Crit. chan.' is. What is it?

Also, why the hell did I find them in his house lol no where does it say they are in there! not on fo3 wiki or anything. They are valued at 799 and I could prob sell them.

that isn't a bug at all

 

first of all, critical chance is just what the name says, it your chance of making a critical hit with a weapon during combat

it's just that simple

 

as for the items being in Burkes' house, Gopher did write this in the description, though he didn't really write where

but if you have played the game at least once properly, and read the description, you should have figured that the items are there, from what he said

 

as for the value, they have a high value, and that is how they should be

and you should definitely use them, especially if you need the effects (like if you have Fellout, you will need the nightvision effects)

I am new to fo3 and new to mods. I just wanted night vision because of my poor screen and the game is dark at night; saw the video for this and wanted to try it out. I actually unchecked it so it shouldnt have loaded once I was back to playing the game without it, strange I found it in burkes house. I mean if you dont kill burke or break in, then you would never find it?

 

ALso I wasnt sure what crit. chan, stood for, I thought it had something to do with the nv so thought something along the lines of critical channel +3 added brightness.

thanks for the info though

don't mention it, i'm glad to help

 

and don't worry, we are all new to mods, until we try them out, and learn how to choose, install and use them

 

also, there are other places where this equipment can be found in the game

so you can still find these items without going to Burke's house, though it will require some exploring, so it won't be shortly after starting the game

 

i think that the mod has a spoiler text file, that tells you where you can find the rest of the items

so it might be worth reading it :)
