In this video we will be walking through how to get the basic Riot Gear from Lonesome Road at the start of the game :) Enjoy! Discord: / discord Twitch: / xxfrobro45xx Twitter: / frobro45 Patreon: / frobro45 #Fallout
"barter is a trash star" Nods head in agreement *Instantly remembers having 100 Barter and having 200,000 caps from selling Armor, water, energy weapons, alcohol and MF cells*
Yeah, but what do you but with all those caps? Why do you need but don't already have? I mean, I get it, I'm the same way. I just don't understand WHY.
@@cymond don't worry trust me I'm in the same boat with you once you get all the upgrades for all the weapons and all the ammo you kind of need you kind of don't need money anymore once you're able to get the upgrades for the weapons you want for the certain build you're doing whether that be Cowboy only energy weapons only it doesn't matter once you get enough money to basically get good armor and ammunition and stem packs you kind of don't need it anymore
Bro, I beat this fucking DLC at lvl 2 with not many things, it was my first real mission right after helping out Ringo with the powder gang for no reason at all, so then I accidentally rushed to the silo, and I started at lvl 2 finished it at lvl 18

I did this years ago in my 2nd playthrough of this wonderful game. I really did it for the way the riot gear looks because I love the trench coat. You made this look so easy, I had a hard time when I did it but it was totally worth it and IMO the only armor that looks better than this is Randall Clark's Desert Ranger Combat Armor but that is buried pretty deep in Honest Hearts so it's way easier to get this armor early on first. Thank you for this streamlined way of obtaining this armor early on as I am thinking of another overdue playthrough of this amazing game on my GTX 760 rig I miss playing on.
It blows my mind that this isn't a better known strat. It's so simple, and while it's clearly not risk-free, it's a pretty low risk for a pretty high reward at that stage of the game.
I think it takes a lot of the challenge out of the early game, where you're wearing whatever armor you can find and you're trying to get buy with subpar weaponry. I can only imagine leaving The Lonesome Road at lvl 2 and riot gear, I imagine you laugh away at most early game enemies firing weapons at you
Nice! Definitely gonna do something like this next play through. Maybe not level 1 off of the rip but that armor does look amazing. I totally forgot that you could leave the divid whenever you wanted. Guess I thought it was similar to the Zion DLC in that regard.
If you go down into the armory in Hopeville you will find two sets of riot gear in the lockers, or at least I did at lvl 40, but this is another way to get it faster
@Race Burum I got it lol I didn’t know they were mods or dlc that were only for pc player , Bc i was playing on my ps4, but I got on my gaming laptop & then I bought fallout New Vegas ultimate that comes with every mod or dlc pack, whatever it is , in the game so now I own every game pack and have everything unlocked for fallout
"Nobody takes barter because there's so much money in New Vegas" But if I have anything to say about it, everyone is gonna give me just a little bit more. 🤑
but ending the game with 500,000 caps and having all the good weapons makes that meaningless. If caps are just used for buying and repairing. Then I don't even need to pay a repair person at al. You will never be the richest person, that will always be house. Kill him and you won't get any of his money. It wouldn't be hard to believe that house has many places like fortification hill or the el dorado power plant. But not as important to him taking over. specially if places like the Sierra Madre had a full room full of loot and goods. What else does
Never knew you could leave Lonesome Road. Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Dead Money all trap you in the DLC. Didn't think Lonesome Road would be different. Learn something new every day
It literally tells you that the first time you activate the door to travel to Lonesome Road. "If the journey proves too difficult, or you need to resupply, you can retrace your steps and return to the Mojave at any time."
well it does lock you in at the start, but once you fire the nuke in the start it reopens. I like to RP that my guy was curious to check it out. But every time he would run into a road block, he would turn around and come back later. Even in fallout 3, Mothership Zeta, operation Anchorage, The Pitt all had you stuck there. But Broken steel and point look out allowed you to leave whenever you wanted, granted broken steel is less of a dlc and more of a additional content for places we already had. But the new locations were ok, was stupid that you couldn't be aggro against the new brother hood even if you were an enemy of the brother hood in the capital wasteland, so there's no way to chose to help the Enclave except after you defeat them. But I think fallout 4 dlc is all different, you can come and go as you like, and some of it isn't even outside the common wealth. So long shot calling it dlc, just fleshed out content
* cries in survival mode * It also opens up a lot of dialogue options though. Many of which usually appear right alongside speech choices so it works as a great alternative if you don’t want to break the game but still want a charismatic character.
@@DIEGhostfish Yea I forgot about that haha I mostly remember how it felt like a balanced version of speech. I love that perk though it's a much more interesting method of increasing carry weight than a encumbrance limit increase. Led to a lot of interesting decisions as someone whose played creation engine games their whole life.
Fun fact - if you go left instead of right immediately after walking the Road, you can go up and grab a free duffle bag without having to fight anything.
I don't get the statement fun fact, its never fun, but it is a fact. In fall out, if you go one way and it keeps going, go back and try the other way first. It usually just a supply cache or something.
I did this in my current playthrough. And also literally used barter as a dump stat as well. Kept me alive against some Giant Radscorpion's early on. Now Boone has it. And he looks great in it.
@@frankswimsdead money is good if u watch guide u can get every thing and all holo taps and free seri madre and It will help u ez to get stimpak and everything u need
@@haydeen6535 Reverse pick pocket rules should apply. Take his ammo and travel far away for a day or two. On return he should have his combat knife equiped. You could also try; you can hit him with a punch to get him angry, then when he draws his weapon shoot his arm with a weak weapon to disarm him but not kill him. Then holster your weapon and he'll become friendly again leaving you to pick up the gun and avoid a fight to the death. Just make sure you don’t have any followers because they will kill them if you do it this way.
1:27-1:35 - In the game, Primm looks and feels like a town, but in real life, Primm is actually quite a big city. Since the developers obviously had to scale down every location, Primm is a city, canonically speaking.
Even if any of that are true, which is isn't, this isn't the real world anyway. It's an alternate reality that diverged in the 50s. So what you invent in your brain is even more wrong
I remember finding the entrance to Lonesome Road/the Divide early in my first playthrough when the game first came out. It was mystical and enigmatic, especially since the location never came up in the base game.
I first played new Vegas on 360 with the 2011 game of the year edition which didn’t have any of the DLCs and was bugged beyond all hell, still was a favorite to play hours on end and once I bought it on PC and got the DLCs it was like I finally felt complete in my journey and lonesome road has to be one of my favorites of the DLCs after playing it and getting all the new content from it
The location actually is mentioned once or twice by ingame NPCs, especially John Nash, the old guy in Primm. He complains that Ulysses flaked on his contract to carry the chip, and that he hopes those Divide sandstorms tear him apart.
I usually enter Lonesome Road at level 8 or so, when I have Lockpicking at 100. I arrive loaded up with all the gear I've found till then. I get ED-E to repair everything and sell it at the terminal. I don't buy anything except 40mm grenades. I take in the Grenade Rifle you get at game start, the grenades make short work of the sentry bots. I repair and sell everything I find in the first area, then head on out into Hopeville beyond, where grenades own everything as well. You can get a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle from the first couple of guys there, and sometimes a Hunting Revolver or Carbine as well. Then into a building where a guy drops a unique sword, either Shishkebob or Blade of the West usually. I pick a Hard lock in that building to get the Armory codes, then go into the Armory to get a Riot Shotgun, two sets of Riot gear, tons of rockets, etc. Then up over a truck to get into the next area, where the lone bad guy has a Red Glare with another on the ground in the second floor of his building. Pick up the Laser Detonator, explode the nuke to be able to get back out, repair and sell everything again, then go back to Mojave. It means that at level 10 or so, I have enough caps to buy all the implants at the Clinic. I also have two sets of Riot gear, the Riot Shotgun, a Red Glare, a Tri-Beam Laser rifle and a Plasma Defender. Oh, and ED-E is upgraded to repair my weapons and give me energy ammo every 13 hours as well. Once I'm back in Mojave, I do a quick and safe run to Sniper Nest and pick the Very Hard lock to get the Goby sniper rifle. Riot Gear, Goby and Riot Shotgun (with the Shotgun Surgeon and the And Stay Back perks) is basically my go-to gear for the rest of the game.
The only difficult part right after getting rid of the Sentry Bots might be hauling all that loot back to the Mojave when your movement speed is slowed down to walking, but other than that it's actually pretty cool for a quick start if you can't be bothered to go through the usual difficulty curve. Great video!
I've gone through that early part of Lonesome Road a few times. You can take out a single sentry bot with the arc welder (bonus damage to robots) at level 1 and then loot most of the place. Turning on the switch that brings in more enemies/unlocks the door outside presents a much more serious challenge.
When you first open the game and get the little pop up window click on “data files” and see if the checkbox next to “lonesome road” is checked it could be that the file is not enabled.
Love it, reminds me of speed running Fallout 3’s Anchorage DLC to get that winterized power armor right away. Now only if the Riot Gear lasted longer as it probably breaks a few hours in and you won’t have anything to fix it for a while 😂
After this, immediately head to the BoS bunker to get to the Sierra Madre. By the time you finish dead money, you'll have riot gear and be literally made of caps before we even finish Goodsprings. 😃
Fun fact use the arc welder to kill the sencery bot, even at level 1 with the arc welder you can kill it and it drops missles and rockets that sell for a lot and you can use the repair kits that come with couriors stash to repair the arc welders for extra money so you don't have to sell as much, as a collector I keep all the named couriors stash stuff in every play thru
I always rush lonesome road for the duffel bags and free gear you can find before the first enemies. There is even loot outside the bunker before you enter it
Always up my Barter to 70 for the Pack Rat perk, then again I guess most people only play on Hardcore mode for the achievement so Barter ends up as a dump stat for them.
Any new play through of NV I do, I always hits up lonesome road! You can get some decent weapons that normally would take you awhile to find in the Mojave
Every single play through I hit the divide first to equip my character and get ED-E up and running. The riot helmet is worn across the board in every play through and it gets updated with the advanced version later on
I once played New Vegas and started Lonesome Road immediately. I went in as a level 1 dweeb and came out as a level 17 killing machine. It was good fun, very hard at first, but Lonesome Road supplies you with so much high-level gear that it got fairly easy near the end. The rest of my play through was stupidly easy.
I played the vanilla for hours before getting ultimate edition with the dlcs so on my first playthrough of ultimate I went lonesome Road straightway cos its right by good springs (and I knew its the only one you aren't stuck in). Literally came back out, did the normal path through primm, nipton and novac and I felt like a god one shotting the early enemies. Obliterated vulpes and the legion in nipton with red glare who are usually a big challenge if you try and take them at that point in the game
I'm just starting NV again and I plan on doing this. Question; What happens to ED-E when you go back to the Mojave? I would guess he stays in LR until I come back.
Lmao I just downloaded NV like two weeks ago, bought all the dlcs just for pure nostalgic memories. I forgot how I got Ranger armor many many years ago when this game came out.. so thanks man! I’ll wear the armor with pride! Thinking about the Long 15 thing too to get the badass power armor.
One of my favorite starts is 8 luck/gamblers hat/hit the casinos and then go decimate a ranger camp for the cool ranger “casual” outfits. Then off to the clinic to become a cyborg. Finally, retirement picking off Legion ants with the Gobi campaign rifle.
This is the only gear bump that I would go for, simply because of the apparel. Any more early game character hack is going to render the game boring. Like FFS, just bump your XP 50k and level up way before going out of Goodsprings and basically wreck the whole Mojave up in few hours, then delete the game. Lol
usually...? fallout 2 has a Enterprise shuttle crash, goes back in time to break the water chip in the first fallout. A water chip is all they need for clean water? It's literally a computer chip, not a philter or set of philters. Though I can see how a FEV can be real, I don't see it working on non humans. So Wannamingo are a bit out there. Most stuff doesn't make sense and isn't really plausible. The only thing that seems majorly possible is the war with communism. And though I believe the transistor is responsible for most things we have today. It's hard to believe the japanese didn't create it still and no one else did. They can make plasma rifles and power armor, but they can't make a transistor. Make Rockets to the moon but can't come up with something so simple as a transistor?
I just do it the normal way and never start Lonesome Road until I’m level 50 and did literally everything else in the Mojave and the other DLCs up until the battle at the dam. It pays well to start Lonesome Road prepared. Makes it a whole lot easier. You get rich either way, too, in the end. *laughs as a pro and longtimer of the series* 😆👌😎
barter is trash "nods in agreement after taking control over the lucky38 therefore earning 50% from whatever people earn on the strip" technically barter would be extremly interesting if you could start expanding your territory like ncr and legion does, because at that point you barter with other nations for millions of caps"
I almost always tag and put points into barter coz there's a decent number of dialogue checks, often as an alternative to speech if needed, and bring rich is fun lol
You missed some hidden loot (unless you already made a video about it) on the path to the silo. To the right of the metal thing you walk under up on the rock is some random loot. Also, the big pipe to the right headed back towards the Mohave leads to loot too.
The only reason I want barter is for pack rat since I’m a hoarder!! It dramatically drops the weight difference. I remember before getting it I was always around 120/130 in weight. After it dropped me below 80 lbs. definitely worth it. I spend so much time going to and from vendors/warehouse to sell/store. After so many hours in the game it’s vital, depending on your play-style
ok that isn't bad idea, I hate fallout nv for its freezing. So I feel if I see an item, to help keep it from crashing. I pick it up and drop it off in the casino. So that way the game doesn't have to remember every location and where what items are. They are all in my base, though it sure takes forever to do one single mission
