@@Nerbit13098hey question why do you always take the rad child perk that's only useful if you put your character at death's door as I call it due to the massive stat debuffs
@@SsjRedneck one of those stat debuffs is strength AKA your carrying capacity another important one is endurance which is your max health but eh good armour can counter that one
I know coin shot is supposed to be a regular shell but with the shot replaced with a few coins, but in my head the Courier is just shoving those paper quarter rolls into his shotgun with no primer or gunpowder or anything and it somehow works.
I mean the Courier just like all the fallout protag's is a borderline superhero with Godlike powers (ability to shrug off bullets, able to stab or slash through armor, etc.) so it's not a real stretch to say they can do exactly this.
@@einar_476 Not with space remaining for enough gunpowder and primer to get any sort of meaningful velocity out of it. Plus the shells in New Vegas seem to be 2.75" shells, and Legion denarii seem to be closer to the size of quarters or even silver dollars than nickels. Or even larger if the merch is to be believed.
Actually siding with the legion is a good idea for this challenge run type because they give you access to their stash area (AND IT ALWAYS HAS A LOT OF COINS IN THE BOXES FACING THE MOUNTAIN)
@mohammadsyazwigeoffrey7325 at the same time, the legion assassi s I believe either spawn in specific areas like the road between Nipton and Novac as I had to keep reloading a save that had me go through there each time, I had to keep reloading as they'd keep killing my companions as it was hardcore mode Anyways, while yes, it being a set encounter makes getting them easier to find across the map but they have good armor and powerful weapons meaning it would take more coin shot than he'd obtain
A fun challenge would be doing New Vegas using only the Compliance Regulator, a unique laser pistol in HH that has the KO effect on crit hits, but deals pitiful damage.
FYI the compliance regulator has no requirements. Any build can use it. I'll regularly swap between freezing a few enemies then taking them out with the Survivalists rifle
I have been thinking about that for a while, would probably make a rule that I needed to get all the uniques in the base game and use them at least once
Wouldn’t be that hard I feel you can get chances knife at the very beginning and then that gun not much after both of those will carry you thru until you can buy a better weapon
Also with 75 lock pick you can grab lucky at the bison Steve so there’s 3 uniques you can grab within a few levels of gameplay that will carry you thru most the game
This is really nostalgic for me because I loved using the coin shot in a build I used with the dinner bell. Since I was doing an NCR run at the time legion coins were everywhere so I was like, "It's free ammo."
The best way to get legion denarius is getting legion rept until you get the cottonwood loot box. The sheer number of coins they give you makes for a steady supply.
Can you beat Skyrim as a scuba diver? Basically you can only use items that you find in or under the water. There's a few shipwrecks in the game that could be looted for items and a few chests that are located under the water as well. I'm interested to see just how much you would be working with.
Wouldn't this make more sense in Fallout 4? Actual scuba diver suit, harpoon gun, entire ocean with actual detailing (Even if there's piss-all in it...), etc.. Could even call yourself "Captain Cutler" for good measure.
@@Umbra_Ursus The main problem is that there's very little to scavenge in the Atlantic Ocean. I'd say that if you wanted it to be interesting you'd have to let him scavenge the various islands including the floating platforms and spectacle island. It could definitely work, but there's way more to get in The Sea Of Ghosts.
I don't say this often but you're one of the very few people who I feel were born to make content. Even your old videos still hold up. You pump out high quality content like it's nothing. Always a fun time, Nerbit.
The fact you've basically done a Hunting Shotgun run brings a massive smile to my face. And hearing it's your favorite of the Shotguns made it even bigger.
@@Nerbit13098 It really is. I've always made it a point to grab Dinner Bell in my playthroughs as well just because of how much i love the Hunting Shotgun. I've slept with Red Lucy far too many times to count at this point lol.
Isn’t the hunting shotgun also the most accurate? Even though the riot shotgun technically has higher DPS and faster reloads, the fact that you can reliably hit your enemies at medium/long range makes the hunting shotgun WAY more effective in general. Honestly it’s the only shotgun worth using IMO.
@@Nerbit13098Gonna be honest, I almost thought, given how crazy some of these runs can get, that you would have gone out of the way to use just Dinner Bell as your shotgun of choice for the run.
Can you beat fallout four as a synth? -use the playable synth mod -can only use the security baton or institute weapons -side with the railroad or institute
Tried that as a cosplay run. Turns out, the only bad parts of that set-up are that the Institute rifle ends up covering nearly half the screen, and that heavy synth armor (The only slightly less visually crap version of the gear) is basically non-existent even at level 100. Plus side is you can get the synth uniform the moment you have a power armor frame, so at least you can have the look down pretty quick.
If he restricted his outfit to the police hat and robco junpsuit this could have been a "meter maid" run. Instead of empting machines and giving fines he would be emptying his magazine and taking names.
Something I just learned yesterday, if you get an accepted or higher reputation with the legion they give you access to a bunch of boxes filled with stuff they don’t need. The boxes refill every few days and when I first checked them they had somewhere between 200-300 denarii.
Salt-Upon-Wounds' headpiece is perfect for this run, JUST because on the back of his headpiece has all those shotgun shells on it, so yeah perfect for this run
Funny enough, when I first did a "focus on using shotguns" playthrough, that also ended up being my designated Legion playthrough. Fun bonus story: my resulting experience with And Stay Back! was in the middle of a deathclaw-infested cave I made a poor save in. I was just short of leveling up, so I merely needed to survive a couple deathclaws in close quarters with my weapon of choice and, after a few savescums, survived long enough to obtain the perk and trivialize the entire rest of the cave.
“Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Frank Horrigan?” Basically a kill everyone run, but you have to do Arcade’s quest and get Remnants power armor while also having your height increased. And you can only unarmed and Energy weapons. Finally, it has to be a Mr. House ending since he’s a pure human. Also kill as many Legionaries because their basically tribals.
Glad to see that Nerbit is cultured and recognizes that the hunting shotgun is the superior shotgun despite its stats compared to others. Lol great vid!
get a good enough rep with the legion and they drop off some supplies for you every so often in a certain spot including the coins needed for coin shot
I checked that out off camera. While it was a decent amount, unfortunately it was not going to be super viable in the long run, I wish it was though lol
This is something I love about New Vegas- it has all sorts of tiny things that I'm somehow only discovering after playing it a bajillion times. Had no idea this was an ammo type. Heck, I only found out that the pocket sand melee skill was a thing even though I've definitely done what's required to obtain it before.
Since you're following the road, I just wanna point out that there's a Hunting Shotgun at the Nuclear Test Shack, near Primm (or Nipton, can't remember), and close to the Legion Safehouse - the catch is that it's surrounded by ghouls - SO MANY GHOULS. That's the path I usually take when getting a shotgun for my build
Silly idea, probably suggested a thousand times already but "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Frank Sinatra?" Completing quests while necking bourbon and looking dapper while at it.
That's good! Frank also owned quite a few guns. Some of which I think have a close enough counterpart in NV. So: The suit, hat, Frank's guns, whiskey, and Omertas. I'd say the only gang remaining should be Omertas. Not sure who he would side with at the end. It would probably have to be a Yes-Man ending.
Are there any missions that resemble some of his movies? Casino robbery, like the original Ocean's Eleven. Or The Manchurian Candidate? I don't know his movies beyond those two, or New Vegas well enough.
@@vissenekku Maybe Dead Money? Pretty sure that's the only heist in the game + dlc. I think for factions it would be a House-ending, Sinatra worked for others as an entertainer after all.
I think it's a testament to your love of melee builds that in all your time in New Vegas, you'd not tried disassembling enough ammo to know you can't break down the non-standard varieties. Or at least the GRA varieties. You did get an NCR Ranger to breakdance at @21:13 that was neat. Also a silly suggestion: can you beat Fallout 3/4/New Vegas as the Mysterious Stranger? Hat, coat, revolvers only (preferably .44), must third-party every combat encounter you come across. Probably easiest in 4 because of the luck build type, just pop in with a VATS attack and disappear into the night.
Honestly, the best part about challenge videos like these is how they can put a magnifying glass on more niche gear/mechanics, exploring how practical they would be to incorporate or build around in a more practical playthrough-perfect for when you're looking for a reason to play through the game again.
It’s like using a bolt action sniper over a semi auto one, both do the job just fine but the click-clack of chambering the next round feels like it has more weight to it.
@@Nerbit13098 I was going to mention the Great Khan armoury, something I only found out about recently...but like you I normally massacre them haha making it fruitless. Also nice TMNT reference.
Speaking of coins, how about "Can You Beat [insert game here] as Two-Face?" Basically, you have to flip a coin, an irl coin, to determine which decisions you'll make in the run and whether certain critical npcs get to live or die.
Have you ever considered a run where you can only use items you picked up off the ground? Meaning you can't loot or buy gear, only use what you can pick up without entering a loot menu in order to get it. There is a SURPRISING number of weapons, ammo, and armor you can pick up through the game for such a run. Depending on how you wanna stretch it, you can count weapons that enemies drop from their hands when you kill/disarm them for the challenge, too.
I feel like this would only be a real challenge if you could only get ammo you pick up off the ground as well, because otherwise you could just use VATS, or really good aim, to shoot guns out of people's hands and buy whatever ammo you need out of it.
@@Blckviper ammo would fall into the category of "items", so, yeah. you wouldn't be allowed to buy any ammo. only thing caps would have a use for is repairs and asking doctors to patch you up. Caps earned by selling items picked up would be up to the runner of the challenge to choose if that's allowed, for repairs and doctor visits.
It's the same with super slam, you get that perk on a fast knife when you get it at level 8 and congratulations you are literally set for the rest of the game
I wouldve just bought 100 chips at a time dropped the 1 got my denari, rinse and repeat until out of money picking up the singles when done instead of making many little piles. Love your content keep up the good work
Never even knew this was a thing, guess you learn something new about Fallout New Vegas every day lmao Edit: Gambo First Bet may be one of the funniest misspeaks I've ever heard and it caught me COMPLETELY off guard
Seeing you go a shotgun build was very interesting, as I’ve said before I’ve never played Fallout but your videos are so damn good. When you said “Super Slam, but for shotguns,” I knew it was gunna be a hilarious play through.
The moment i heard Armstrong i lost it. Watching your uncut play through of Rising made me buy because of how fun it looked and damn is it fun. Im only at Monsoon but ive loved every second of it.
Not quite this restrictive, but this is literally my favourite FO3 run style. There are a few different mods that make it rather trivial to acquire the extant commie gear and make it half decent, especially early on, and a janky but neat faction-swap for Operation Anchorage, and playing as a commie is, like, the illogical conclusion of the satire of the Cold War. There's also a few good side quests and fun locations.
Coinshot is unironicaly the best reason to become vilified by the legion as every legionary will carry some coins and they absolutely gore anything that bleeds
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the Chosen One? You must only use guns that were available in Fallout 2, get the Enclave power armor (and kill the remnants immediately if you want lmao), do all the Jacobstown related quests (bc of Marcus), recruit Boone (his voice actor is the same as Myron from F2) and side with the NCR
Honestly Teddy would make a great Fallout run. Must use a hunting gun, must wear a suit befitting a politician, must collect every teddy bear in the game, must hunt every possible animal, except for Yao Guais because we all know Teddy's opinion on shooting bear cubs. Might be a bit difficult starting out since both attacking before acquiring a suitable weapon and running away from animal encounters are no nos.
Honestly yeah waiting for the fallout 4 abraham lincoln video took up my entire week it was all I could think about also have you noticed how much more funny and lively nerbit is
I think a better challenge might be the bean bag rounds. Doesn't it only do fatigue damage? Also... day a lot asking for an exploding pants only run in any fallout
I'm glad you did this run. A couple of videos back I suggested you try a run where you can beat Fallout with only money. With my idea you could have picked 3, NV, or 4 with NV only using the coin shot in NV or only using pre=-war money as ammunition in the Rock-It Launcher / Junk Jet for 3 and 4. You didn't exactly go with the money theme as I was hoping but you did go through the run with the weapon I was thinking so I'm happy! Great Video!
I have an increased level of appreciation for this challenge run, solely because of seeing challenges and base game-isms that console players have to deal with (alongside loading screen times), man am I glad that PC has the in-game console, that thing is beautiful.
Idea for a Fallout 4 Challenge Run: "Laser Golf" Premise - In Fallout 4, there is a Legendary weapon effect called "Endless" which basically means your weapon has no maximum magazine size. This typically just means no reloading is necessary, but it has an unusual interaction with a few weapons that use non-standard magazine formats. One of these interactions is the Laser Musket. The Laser Musket must be manually loaded for each shot in the magazine, but the main feature that interacts strangely with Endless is the way it fires: every round loaded into the Musket is fired in a single shot, with the damage of the shot scaling based on the number of rounds loaded. Due to the way Endless works, this allows and Endless Laser Musket to be loaded repeatedly ad infinitum as opposed to stopping at its magazine capacity (well, it can be loaded until you have loaded every round into it anyhow), allowing for a single shot to deal up to an arbitrarily massive amount of damage. The run: somehow, some way, (mods, commands, whatever) start the game with an un-upgraded Endless Laser Musket and 1,000-5,000 rounds for it (a large but finite number). You must complete the main story of Fallout 4 (any ending), using only the Laser Musket, and you must kill every enemy you encounter (stealth is allowed but only for sneak attacks). You may only deal damage by firing the Laser Musket - no companions, grenades/mines, bashing, etc. Environmental hazards such as other enemies, hacked turrets, or environmental traps are permitted, as well as upgrading the Laser Musket and perks as long as they don't deal damage separately from the musket. You may bring companions as pack mules and cheerleaders, as long as they are somehow unable to deal damage, such as unarmed robots or modded companions (yes they can tank too, just no damage). At the end of the run, count how many rounds you consumed - lowest score wins. Speedrun optional. Caveats and edge cases: environmental allies like those present during various story quests are obviously inevitable and permitted. Grenades and other weapons are not permitted, but they may be used to complete quest steps ONLY if those steps do not require you to kill an enemy with the weapon in question (such as testing the artillery a trhe Castle). As with the weapon exception, companions required for specific steps in the main quest are also of course permitted, but must be dismissed asap. Settlement turrets and traps are also NOT permitted. The ban on non-musket weapons includes mines and grenades that summon allies (including vertibirds), affect enemy AI such as berserk effects, the Minute Men Flare Gun (except where a quest explicitly requires its use to progress so long as doing so does not deal damage to an enemy), power armor auras/sprint slams and ejected cores, "command enemy" perks (including both surrender and berserk effects - Ghoulish 3+ is also NOT permitted). Damage bonuses from chems, perks, and other passive effects ARE permitted, as long as the damage is dealt exclusively by Laser Musket shots.
Well, while we're on the topic of crafting, remember that run where you used only crafted weapons? What if it was only crafted items overall, only healing with food/powder/etc. only using crafted weapons again (maybe different ones to mix it up) and if you want armor, you have to go for the gecko-backed armors. You can buy/loot/harvest materials, but you can't use the ingredients themselves. And maybe no auto-inject stims as an extra little challenge, since those would be rather easy to amass.
I regularly watch your videos, and I'm constantly amazed, entertained and outright baffled at the things that happen during your runs. So, I decided to do a playthrough as Rusty Shackleford, mainly focusing on Unarmed combat for the first time. This also happened to be the first time I didn't outright kill the Legion on sight. There's a Disguised Frumentari you can run into out in the wastes after meeting Caesar and staying on the Legion's good graces, starting off the quest Caesar's Favor. It's a repeatable quest where you can find around 8 metal boxes, five of which have differing amounts of Denarius, one box alone having 125. Not sure if you knew this or not, but if you ever feel like using coin shot again on a pro-Legion run, that'll definitely come in handy.
I may not have thought of this being a video I'd watch today, but I'm interested in this. Coin Shot makes me think of one of the new characters in Mortal Kombat who can ricochet a bullet off a coin to kill the opponent... But, this should be entertaining and informative as always! 😁
“And Stay Back” makes me laugh everytime I use it, all I can think of when using it is the old Hana Barbara cartoons where someone shoots a shotgun and they go flying. ACME definitely comes to mind, Loony Toons or maybe even some old Donald Duck cartoons if you go back far enough are what I’m thinking of. It’s just such a gag type of attack y’know? Something a cartoon character does, but when placed in such a serious environment like FNV, the contrast just makes it really funny to me. It’s not too much where it’s immersion/tension breaking, but it’s enough to get a chuckle out of me.
Something that made one of my play through da more interesting is that I did use coin shot a whole lot as an ammo type. Albeit it was a high luck build and what I was often doing was playing blackjack at the casinos and cashing in my chips in legion denarius. That was how I was able to side with the NCR and get a lot of coins without necessarily killing legionaries for them.
On an unpatched version of the game you could do the casino caps glitch where you grind up 35500 caps then turn them all into casino chips, drop said chips on the ground and then the number of chips are in the negatives, turn the chips back into the casino teller and suddenly you're able to do turn them in infinitely, which means you could hypothetically have millions of Legion Denarius
This video was a nice little surprise when I got home from work. Now ill have about 15 minutes to relax before I start crying for the rest of my night.
What makes crafting coin shot difficult as well is due to a programming error you cannot recover used 12 guage hulls from firing ammo like you can with other ammos.
