Playthrough Challenges

[dudeapocalypse]

Post yours. I'll start:

Tactics / agility kind playthrough:

- Very hard + hardcore.

 

- No weapons above 50 skill requirement. So no brush guns, marksman carbines, sniper rifles, or even hunting shotguns (actually this one could be an exception, they aren't much different from lever shotguns after cowboy perk). Your best buds will be Paciencia, Blood Nap, satchel charge, modded war club, Saturnite fist super-heated, modded service rifle with AP rounds + Grunt perk, modded cowboy repeater with hollow points + Cowboy perk, etc.

 

- No scopes.

 

- No suppressors. Use thrown melee and poisons instead. Mod recommendation: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55743/

 

- No automatic fire weapons. Yeah you heard me right, everyone can spray and pray a couple of bullets will hit.

 

- No healing with stimpaks or doctor's bags. I suggest a "Pickable Cave Fungus Outside of Zion" mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49938/) so you'll be able to craft Healing Poultice for crippled limbs.

 

- No heavy or medium armor.

 

- If using Project Nevada Rebalance: sneak profile setting should be on "harder", automated detection AI - on (this means if you're sniping, enemy will be able to find you even if you are 400m away).

 

Additional challenges:

- Clear all deathclaw infested territories only with Blood Nap, poisons and thrown melee weapons.

- If using A World of Pain - all underground hit runs should be done alone, even the Tech Raiders one.

Tips:

- Acquire Turbo recipe and great khan armory access from Jack and Diane in the Red Rock Drug Lab.

- Invest in Sneak, Survival, Agility and all the critical hit perks.

 

Good luck.
