Ranking Every Unique Weapon in Fallout New Vegas 

What's your favorite weapon in New Vegas? 🤔

Sometimes patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for something cool

The survivalist rifle sights are aligned to the right sight post

Christine's COS Sniper Rifle is from Old World Blues, not Dead Money. You find it in a ruined building next to the Little Yangtze Camp because that's where Father Elijah spent some time planning to escape Big Mountain

“Game was rigged from the start” NO KIDDING BENNY who tf let me have the refurb. 10mm your ass was grass before I left doc’s

Euclids C-Finder is actually the best stealth weapon in the game, most people just don’t realize it’s the best for that

fun fact chances knife benefits from both the grunt and cowboy perks so if you take both perks you get a 50% extra damage and with perks to increase crit chance/damage and attack speed the dps is absurd

Fun fact for the Gobi Campaign Sniper, a lot of people theorize that that's the rifle Boone used to... Free his wife and child from the Legion, as the sniper's post you find it in has a perfect view of Cottonwood Cove, and has a good view of the slave cage.

Any durability argument is truly strange when the sierra madre DLC gives you an infinite amount of weapon repair kits

That is the most psychotic mod playthrough order I have ever heard. Almost literally the exact opposite of the intended route

Fun fact aboit Salt Upon Wound's Power Fist: If you look at it closer, you can see salt on the fist area, so you are literally putting salt onto your enemies' wounds.

For insulting Ulysses I have sent 20 cazadors to your house

19:50 fun fact about love and hate, it's the only farmable unique in New Vegas. The viper leader that has them will respawn on a cell reset, and you can get another copy from him. Originally, cazadores were supposed to take over that little burnt out town, but that was never implemented, so the unique got added to the respawn list by mistake.

Patrolling the nuclear winter makes you wish for the Mojave

Suddenly it makes so much sense why RTGame used the YCS/186 in his New Vegas playthrough and why it was so fucking powerful.

The front ironsights on the survivalist's rifle are misaligned on purpose for story reasons given the rifle's age and constant use by its original owner, but you just use the right post of the bent front sight instead and you'll hit things just fine.

Bro you forgot elijahs advanced laer, with a build and the mods for it, its deff in one of the top spots lol

You have severely underestimated Compliance Regulator. This is a weapon that will singlehandedly break the entirety of New Vegas by trivializing every single encounters, group or single target.

My man beefing with a peep-hole sight on the M1, valid apparently they're good for long distance shooting

That Gun, Paciencia, Lucky and Light shining in Darkness are in my Top. Using VATS with a high Luck stat with these is just fun

Gotta disagree with the Embrace of the Mantis King! Ranking. It’s got a x3 crit multiplier with 64 crit damage. Been doing an unarmed build and it’s been my mainstay for basically the entire game until I can get the very best. Edit: oh cmon Cleansing Flame is a beast! It’s DoT damage scales off your energy weapons skill.

I loved your fallout 4 unique weapons ranked and am just starting to watch this one. Good content bro 👍

“When in Rome” cuts to mid-rampage 😂😂😂

Good god my man you got a voice like Frank Horrigans. Wonderful oratorial skills.

If i ever get the chance to play new Vegas, bennys suit is an immediate must.

Survivalists rifle I always get around 3000 to 4000 rounds for it, and that’s because if you’re on the good side of the great khans, their armorer, located in a basement in one of the ruined houses outside the camp, sells 12.7 in DROVES. Like I’m pretty sure I can get 300-500 rounds from them daily, maybe even more. Survivalist’s rifle has carried me through a bunch of the game and even into deathclaw territory, it’s that good

The Best thing about the Legion is that you can Cruxify Benny.

Your sense of humor is so refreshing as someone who watches so many F tier ranking vids with boring commentary lol thank you this video was a joy to behold

Fun Fact: On the front of Salt-Upon-Wounds power fist, there is salt on it. Literally symbolizing his name in his weapon

Chance's Knife + Implant GRX makes every fight not a fight. It's pretty incredible honestly completely broken.

As a correction, you get the COS rifle from Old World Blues in the ruined building to the east of the prison camp. Edit: The Red Glare also has unique modifications you can put onto it to make it even more insane.

Medicine stick too OP with 10 luck, loving the fallout vids man!

My head cannon for the weathered 10mm pistol. I've always seen my courier and Lone wander as the same character, so when I start with this pistol I just imagine it's the gun Amata gave me back in vault 101. I was pretty young if I remember right and it's something that just stuck with me so I artificially inflated it to best pistol ever. This was back when I played the game as a self insert rather than a specific character to do some light RP to get different results and endings. Although I used other pistols like "That Gun" The 10mm stayed in my pack.

Only 3 holy grenades? Alright come hither snuffles

I just love how everyone just ends up deleting that lottery winner 😂

had this thought while watching the video. It would have been really funny if Maria had a secret stat, where it did less damage when targeting enemies heads

"they can only eat so many people"... Love your content after finding you from the FO4 video 😊. Smooth voice with witty commentary and cosy editing

Fun fact, if you opt out of wild waste land, when you go to big mountian you get a option to chage your starting perks. Where you can take wild wasteland, and the ycs and the alien blaster in the same run

The boxing gloves are great for 1v1 encounters actually, it's a heck of a lot easier to destroy - for example - the legendary bloatfly, while they're unconscious, just switch to a different weapon after they pass out and go ham

Golden Gloves are a must for every playthrough I do. There's a special challenge for killing Benny with Maria and I find it much easier to knock him out and swipe it than shoot/whack it out of his hand, sometimes I just hit his hand or arm and kill him by mistake if I try to use a normal gun.

I won’t lie that “Jett crisis” edit gets me every time

At 38:16 you say Christine's rifle is in dead money when in fact it is found in old world blues not dead money. I would know because I don't own the dead money DLC and if anyone doesn't believe me you can look on the fallout wiki. Im not mad, im just disappointed.

Alright, you got me with the Oliver bit lmao. Keep up the work man I recently discovered your channel and I hope you continue to grow

One thing you forgot to mention about Sleepytyme: It's silenced, making it one of only two stealthy automatic weapons in the game.

The Golden Gloves work like how hand-to-hand combat does in Morrowind, however in Morrowind, hand-to-hand is broken because of how accuracy works and because you can stunlock people infinitely.

Quality video glad I came across your videos they seems really high quality!!

Looking forward to this one after the banger FO4 one, great work!

The Oliver Swanick bit got me so bad 😂 great video, thanks for the laughs!

genuinely appreciate you letting that whole part of the ff7 battle theme play, subscribed

you dont find the COS rifle in dead money you find it in OWB

I will always love cleansing flame for how much it came in clutch for me in Vault 22 in my first run. the spore carriers never stood a chance.

Such a quality video I was surprised to see you only have 13.8k subs. You just got yourself another one ☝️

the LE bb gun gets a huge buff if you have the better criticals perk and the neutral karma level 50 perk its crit damage becomes better than any other gun by far also its silent making it great for sneak attacks

NEW BT0WN VID RAGGGHHHH LETS GOOOO (You should do companions next if youre up to it!!)

The Sprtel-wood can be absolutely devastating with a full energy build. Shoot someone in a crowd and just watch as they all explode. Ammo is a bit of a concern though. I always use it in those gank fights the legion likes to throw at you.

loved the vid, but damn, Hyperbreeder that low? Maybe its just that laser builds in this game are broken as hell but that thing can carry you through the whole game cause once you get crit chance increases its basically just a free crit machine

Great video, really brought back the memories

That kill with Knock at 17:57 is amazing!! Loved this video

Thank you for this great tier list on all of these amazing Legion killing tools!

21:57 I had no idea this weapon even existed

Greased lightning is so good. I love to pair it with the slayer perk to just shred anything within a foot and a half

ahhhh yes i’ve been waiting for another fallout vid from you

Perfect timing, I just started replaying New Vegas for the first time in a decade.

Awesome video bro I’m about to start playing fallout new vegas 🙌 still need to finish fallout 3 first tho

I have run through Vault 34 so many times that I clear it usually way before Marksman rifles even start spawning (around level 5-6)

BT0WN, thanks for an excellent video. I’m gonna check out the Fallout 4 video next. Please do one for Fallout 3 as well. And more Fallout content in general. Thank you!

You just made me start NV again, thank you

Outstanding video! ❤

Missing laser pistol does have one great upside: it can be taken into Dead Money. Combine that with meltdown and you can kill ghost people by automatically dismembering them with that perk

Man they really made the weapons truly unique in this one. Look at the weapons skins. Imagine if Obsidian worked on Fallout 4 or 76 with the modifiers. That would be disgusting.

The YCS/186 and Sprtel-Wood 9700 was my loadout for my first playthrough three years ago. One-shot sniping deathclaws at the Quarry Junction has never been so fun.

New Vegas taught me that I really am a Kleptomaniac, because I knew I was NEVER going to use most of the special weapons I found, and I really needed caps, yet I chose to sell my shotgun ammo instead of the special Doctor gloves I got in Big MT, because it was a named item and therefore special, even though I would NEVER use it.

Loved the video 👍

The intro is mispelled! No big deal. Excellent video!

hey are you doing all the Fallout 3 unique weaponds ranked? Made a list of this and the fallout 4 video to help me when i play, would love to do the third one aswell

sorry I'm just a bit confused. you said its worth going dead money for CoS rifle but isn't that in Old World Blues? Just wanted to point that out just in case people are going to lock themselves into that dlc for a gun that's not there

You did this machine dirty.

Euclid’s C-finder is an option one can present during Veronica’s personal quest. In her argument, she basically tells the elder that every Brotherhood member who died at Helios One died over ‘glorified artillery’. Edit: the names for the tiers sound like the town of goodsprings as pete advances in difficulty

100% agree with the number 1 spot, though i personally would have put knock knock way higher, it and chance's knife are my 2 favorite weapons in the game

Great content, underrated gem

In the fallout tv show, you can see scarlets drawn mugshot from nuka break. It's in the government place with the ghouls conversation.

BT0WN! What FOV did you use in the fallout 4 unique ranking video?

14:25 GATES BE BUSTIN IT DOWN, SEXUAL STYLE

11 minutes in and I must say your content is very good, keep up the good work.

The Pulse Gun is also great against Power Armored Knights of the BoS.

Fun Fact: Wolfhorn Ranch used to belong to Ulysses, meaning he has two unique melee weapons, with Chopper and Old Glory,

Props for getting Joshua's pistol name right I see a lot of people call it A Light in Shining Darkness

If you combine greases lightning with rushing water you can become god

28:05 was that music from Quest 64 lol?

13:20 thing was a lifesaver in Harcore mode, finally let me take down assasin squads after killing vulpes early game

7:40 also VERY useful if you ever want to fight the Brotherhood

Amazing Video

2:40 cant you go through mcarran airport?

I suppose that Blade of the East is in the unusual position of being improvable by mods without actually having the weapon itself altered (FPGE+a quest or new land mod that makes sense to do after 2nd Hoover Dam, so you have something to use it on for more than a minutes without having to cheat it in early).

The auto grenade launcher will definitely teach Cesar salad a lesson on why slavery is wrong

The gobi campaign scout rifle is most likely boone gun when he shot his wife.

This is one of the reasons I like New Vegas. You can’t beat their unique line up, especially how some of them are tied with beloved characters (looking at you Joshua) and incredibly satisfying/aesthetically pleasing. It amazes me that an unfinished game still outshines both Bethesda titles that took years to make lol.

Golden Gloves can knock out Deathclaws so they're useful early to mid game The Abilene Kid l.e. bb gun Can do 240 damage on a sneak critical and is good for opening fights and preserving ammo even late game, especially useful if using something fragile like the LAER. With a perfect build it does 140 damage 2 out of 3 shots (66%) for a dps of 168 without chems. It weighs 2lbs which is nothing, and its ammo is cheap, plentiful, and weightless even in hardcore. It stays in my inventory the entire game. You also never have to reload in fights with its 100 bb tube, so it's damage per minute is higher compared to other weapons when you factor in the downtime you're saving not reloading. To put it below the Caravan Shotgun and Recompense of the Fallen is INSANE Embrace of the Mantis King is S tier with its 3X CRIT CHANCE, that's one of the highest in the game for any weapon. You can easily get it to 100% crit chance, which is utterly broken. Dealing a guaranteed 170 dmg per attack, bypassing all armor since crits ignore all dt/dr Old Glory is also S tier because of its second lowest ap cost of all blunt melee weapons, paired with highest critical damage of any blunt melee weapon, beating out the likes of Oh Baby! You can't let personal preference get in the way of it objectively being one of the best melee weapons in the game, putting it below Nephi's driver is Fucking INSANE. It has a Vats special move doing 200% damage, on top of the vats 100% melee damage boost. If you hit a stealth critical "Grand Slam", Old Glory does the single most damage of any weapon in the game, beating out a FUCKING MINI NUKE with tiny tots, the most powerful ammo type. You put this weapon below the STARTING GAME BROAD MACHETE Dr. Mobius' glove can get to a 98% crit chance making it busted The compliance regulator is one of the most broken weapons in the game with a crit build, it excels at exactly what you said its short coming is. It destroys packs of oncoming deathclaws exactly like the riot shotgun with the “and stay back” perk I love the Rat Slayer a much as the next courier, I know the work it can put in with 100% crit chance and hp ammo, but putting it above the Gobi is Blasphemy. Survivalist Rifle, the Sight is dead accurate, you just need to know how to use it, instead of shooting between the posts, shoot aiming only the right hand post on target. This Machine

Great video, it makes me want to retry playing New Vegas but trying to make sure the game does not crash will be a herculean task

Y'know what would have been a really cool touch for Euclid's C-finder? If you activate Archimedes before meeting the kid, he'll accidentally obliterate some poor locals or a nearby building while he's messing around with it. Would've made for a cool little 'consequence' I think.
