Fallout New Vegas: 'Just Lucky I'm Alive' Crit Build - Demonstration. 

I think a fully modded Tri-Beam laser rifle is incredible on a crit build. On very hard it absolutely evaporates deathclaws. Which, with light armor can kill me in one hit. It’s saved me more than any other weapon!! It’s the Riot Shotgun of energy weapons. Or Pew Pew.

I did the math: Starting special: Strength - 4 (+1 from implant, + 2 from spine perk) makes it 7 Perception - 5 (+ 1 from implant +1 from beret - makes it 7 Endurance - 6 (+ 1 from implant, + 1 from intense training, + 1 from the atomic valence thing) brings it to 9 Charisma: 1 (+1 ulysses duster) makes it 2 Intelligence: 9 ( + from implant) makes it 10 Agility: 8 (+ from implant, + 1 from intense training) makes it 10 Luck: 7 (+ 1 from implant, + 1 from intense training and +1 from the additional special point gained from completing lonesome road) This build utilizes 3 intense training ranks and implants in all stats except charisma Side note: as soon as you leave doc mitchels house i would advise sneaking to freeside, robbing the van graphs for all their worth and selling it to get 4000 caps before level 2 and get the intelligence implant first from the clinic, put enough points into repair to get it to 45 (i recomend tagging it) to get light touch at level 2) Alternatively you can put endurance to 7 and luck to 6 if you’re struggling to stay alive early in the game, and simply just put 2 intense trainings into luck along with the implant and the lonesome road special point

A year late, but adding Voracious Reader+ Comprehension (retention is optional) will allow you to produce basically infinite True Police Stories granting an additional 10% crit chance. This boosts you to a 76% crit chance before light touch or VATS vs 56%

Miss the days when you found a unique weapon like the ratslayer or that gun and were like “oh my god I love this thing”… 4 kinda ruined it.

Thanks cap for reminding me that hunting rifles were good in NV. And thx for letting me know that hollow points were better than armor piercing rounds. I actually used jacket hollow points for a mix between armor penetration and bonus to damage because I broke the Sierra madre casino and got infinite .308 that I broke down to make that special ammo that comes from the perk. I can one hit Lanius with paciencia with max difficulty with armor piercing rounds. Hollow points I am not but one day I can give it a try.

The +50% Crit Damage from "Just Lucky I'm Alive" is absolutely mental. The other bonus wasn't really thought through though. (I just noticed how beautilful these three words are next to each other 😂) The perk is clearly meant to be useful for a luck build. So why buff luck if one has to assume that the player already has maximum or close to maximum luck? Maybe they wanted non-luck-focussed builds to somehow benefit from it also?I dunno. Making the perk depend on your Karma was also a weird choice considering how Karma played absolutely no role in the game and virtually not a single thought was lost to it. But it's a clever way of creating choices for the player considering how Karma is reset to neutral afterwards anyways. Overall, the other perks stand out to me a little more however. The +20% attack speed from "Ain't lik ethat now" is crazy good on any weapon and any build and stacks with fast shot. Also, energy weapon crit builds might enjoy the VATS recharge rate. +10% weapon damage from "Thought you died" will also be a good addition to a general luck build. With the 100HP bonus being great for an all-purpose build. I never see these discussed a lot even though it's such a tough choice overall.

this but the gobi campaign rifle. my modded playthrough as a ghoul, with the t-57c power armor and the gobi, was quite the blast with it. love the vids, hope to see more

I did a build like this using the "Old glory" and "Elaija ramblings",also crit.hits always Land on targhet using s.p.a.v

I’m playing fallout new Vegas right now with a guns/crit build and the best weapon I found is Christine’s Cos silencer rifle with better criticals and ten luck even Rawr got killed in one hit

Am I the only one that starts every play through by doing a straight charge into the cazzies until I finally win on save 3 billion and get the fire axe and immediately take it to bonnie springs to decapitate some scum and take love and hate? I just immediately turn left when I exit the doc’s door lol

This right here is the reason i can't say that melee builds are better than guns/energy weapons you do comparable to sometimes more damage but from further away.

I just found a gun that paralyzes on crits for 10 seconds. I'm planning a restart for a playthrough with it.

Hells yeah

Cliffside prospector csmp has it for free.

Hey dude, what were your starting special stats?

Does lucky shades provide you with extra crit chance when having 10 luck? we are talking about +1 flat luck and not straight crit chance like 1st recon beret.

What was your starting specials?

Where do you buy the tri beam attachments? I went to the people who only sell laser guns in free side, but they only sell 2/3 of the mods i need.

Shotguns are busted on a crit build especially since shotgun surgeon ignores 10 dt

3 rounds in the rifle

well this is quite a surprise. back to new vegas again i see?

Kinda confused, why dont you have Elijah's Ramblings? Is there a limitation or something or a different perk instead??

What are your traits

Is this better than the anti material rifle?

Anyone know what’s his floating damage mod?

modlist?

What is the armor?
