I think That Gun and Lucky deserve high slots purely because you can get both so early in a run and both could carry you through the whole game.

@ReapeeRon Год назад

That is a fair point and like both of the weapons quite a bit.

@natemcnutt953 Год назад

one thing worth noting is that between the two of them they have identical stats, but that gun has AP rounds and lucky doesn't

@silverjohn6037 Год назад

That Gun's main weakness's is the relatively high strength requirement at 6 and terrible iron sights. Lucky you have to put points into Lockpick to get early on and, my personal experience, is that it's better to put those points into other skills early on as Lucky isn't that much better than other guns you can get at lower level.

@tarheelpro87 Год назад

Lucky is my go to sidearm cause even though the Ranger Sequoia is more accurate, it has less health, ammo is rare and expensive, and at least to me, it actually feels very inaccurate, maybe it’s just me but I know the stats say otherwise. Same for the Mysterious Magnum, health isn’t great or bad, and is even more inaccurate. Lucky and That Gun/5.56mm Pistol have very common ammo that’s cheap and in large quantities, I like their look, both have amazing damage on my guns characters, and they actually have the highest critical hit multiplier in the game only beaten by the Silenced .22 Pistol. And since all my characters have high luck, finesse perk, better critical and at least decent guns skill, they’re literally broken. And best of all, they have really good durability and have very good accuracy and range. Lucky is just my go to sidearm since I like Revolvers better.

@cavejohnson976 Год назад

lucky has a low ap cost too

@HamSlammer456 Год назад

New Vegas having unique weapons that actually look different is such a nice detail that 3, and especially 4, lack. I much prefer the way NV handles unique weapons and mods over the random effects and weird Lego mix and match parts in 4.

@ReapeeRon Год назад

Yeah I like that too. Even if all the designs aren't my thing they are at least different.

@snotling1 Год назад

theres a good mod for 4 called unique uniques that makes them cosmetically different

@papafoundry5537 Год назад

It because New Vegas is an actual good game

@Maxsmack Год назад

i agree with you about the uniques as their stylistic differences makes them stand out 10x better than a bland +15% damage to bugs though the weapon mods in 4 are a lot of fun and makes a gun feel like your own powerful handcrafted masterpiece instead of just every ranger sequoia being exactly the identical

@colbytutterow1060 Год назад

the guns taking damage in this game is also my preference. I enjoy needing to change up my weapons through a play through, in FO4 you essentially only change guns when you find something OP or run out of ammo. There’s a balance between BOTW and its 3 hit break on weapons and FO4 no damage and i think this game did good at fitting in that safe zone.

"can you kill everything in Fallout new Vegas with the .22 pistol?" Is a run I want to try

@The-Master-Shake Год назад

My all time favorite sidearm in New Vegas has gotta be the .45 auto pistol. Originally I liked the 9mm because it was a Browning Hi-power and very easy to get but once I got honest hearts and saw Joshua messing with those 1911’s I knew I had to get one. Tbh though I liked most of the weapons that New Vegas had since a lot of them had a real world version of it.

@somerandomassguyontheinter2869 Год назад

gotta love new vegas for the weapon variety and the fact that, with the right build and under the right circumstances, almost anything is viable. my favorite sidearm has got to be the ranger sequoia though. sure you have to hit your shots but with better criticals and SWC rounds it’ll absolutely destroy anything you point it at

@spiraljumper74 Год назад

I always value the early game in NV when playing as a guns character because I love the 9mm Browning Hi-power. It’s a really good looking gun and the extended mags let you spam like crazy for crit fishing. I never use the scope though because I feel like it ruins the pistol’s aesthetics.

@dathunderman4 11 месяцев назад

New Vegas really did handguns justice. Fallout 4 really crapped the bed on the handguns imo. There’s really only 2 revolvers in the entire game (magnum and western revolver, unless you also want to count pipe revolver, which is basically useless).

@june9914 8 месяцев назад

@tomsmusicchannel303 Год назад

The 5.56 is loaded "hotter" than the .223. You can fire a .223 from a 5.56 weapon, but not vice versa, because of the higher pressure that 5.56 emits.

@mr44mag Год назад

Some .223 loads are hotter than 5.56x45. It's a generalization that was further confused by a difference in testing used for the casings for each. What the largest two differences are, is the headspace. Just a small change can change the pressure in the chamber. The other is kind of irrelevant, but it's the pocket for the primer, because the ones used for the military are sometimes used for automatic weapons under sustained fire and they don't want the risk of a failure there. I can almost guarantee any modern .223 can fire any 5.56. If anyone has further info, feel free to share.

@ManDuderGuy Год назад

@@mr44mag It's a tiny percentage of .223 chambers that cant safely fire 5.56. Usually some kind of "target" model or something. Random factoid: .223 Wylde is the chamber used in most mini-14 rifles, handles 5.56 just fine.

@Twilightblade7 Год назад

The rule of thumb is, "Read your firearm manual and you get to keep all of your fingers." 😂

@Seriona1 Год назад

@point-five-oh6249 Год назад

In certain builds, the .22 pistol is pretty brutal until early late game. Go all-in on sneak, and the silenced .22 is doing like 150+ damage on sneak attack headshots, which is pretty nutty for a basic little handgun that weighs almost nothing, costs next to nothing to repair, and doesn't require any skills or stats to use. It's almost as ridiculous as the Abilene Kid BB gun. I really like Joshua Graham's .45 pistol, it's super powerful, but the iron sights on it make me have to put it on A tier unless I'm doing a VATS build. I would also put the .357 revolvers 1 tier lower for the same reason, making the .357 the only D tier, unless it's a VATS build, simply because aiming down the sights is such a pain in the ass.

@user-il9ze9py8c Год назад

You can play nearly the whole game with the 22 as a main damage dealer/ sneak gun, with something else for back up. It's borderline broken. Obviously you cant use it exactly like every other pistol and get the same results, but no other pistol really does what it does.

@phycofox858 Год назад

Yeah the trench sights are rough wish it had glow sites like the other 45s

@erikbukovac5944 Год назад

@@user-il9ze9py8c for sneak attacks, any silenced pistol is better than the .22. while it does have higher crit damage and high crit chance, the crit damage is still lower than every other silent pistol and crit chance is useless on sneak attacks

@point-five-oh6249 Год назад

@@erikbukovac5944 This isn't entirely true, because it vastly depends on a ton of different things. For instance the 9mm would do 188 on the same build at the end, which is more, but 9mm (without mods) doesn't have a silencer attachment. Meaning you'd likely only get 1 shot and if there's more than 1 enemy like 90% of the time in the game, the noise will reveal you pretty quickly. 10mm has a silencer, and could do 236 damage, but has a few requirements. Plus 10mm ammo is a bit scarce outside of the vaults. If you have no ammo, you don't have any damage. The 12.7mm pistol has a silencer, and can deal 430 damage, enough to blow up most enemies in a single shot, but that's also 75 Guns and 7 strength. 12.7mm ammo is also really rare outside of vendors and a handful of old army chests. Which is in the same boat as the 10mm. .45 auto is likely the next best thing from the .22-- it can do 340 or so on a sneak crit, it only has 25 in guns which is not much and only requires 3 strength. The only thing with it is that without jury rigging, the pistol is kinda hard to repair outside of Zion and the vendors will charge an arm and a leg for it. Once you beat Honest Hearts, vendors in NV have so much .45 ammo and they're cheap enough that I wouldn't really consider it an issue. For what you get out of the .22, there's nothing quite as low of a commitment you need for it, for the results you get out of it.

@erikbukovac5944 Год назад

@@point-five-oh6249 i think you are over exaggerating the availability of ammo. besides, you are proving my point that the .22 is an early game weapon, overshadowed in almost all cases except for sneaking it in a casino with no sneak skill. i know this will not apply for everyone, but i play on very hard and the .22 is barely able to kill anything with a sneak crit, so it makes the .22 practically useless

@Antraeon Год назад

I kind of like how weapons in FNV seldom get placed at any position below C-tier, with C being the baseline. It just goes to show how good the weapons in New Vegas tend to be in comparison to the weapon lineups of other Fallout games.

What I like in vanilla Fallout 3 no-VAT is that there is a time to use the hunting rifle (sneak and mid range), the assault rifle (close range) and the combat shotgun (in your face). But FNV damage threshold (DT) spices the combat mechanics and the perks are really important if you want to be an effective knife fighter, gunslinger, commando or shotgunner. I like both games.

@Robert399 16 дней назад

Good points, I've never thought about that. I do feel New Vegas' DT kinda screws full-auto and scatter weapons (and hollow-point ammo) though. I get the intent but there's no situation where maxing DPS matters but armour-piercing doesn't because basically every tough enemy (high-level soldiers, deathclaws, sentry bots, etc.) has high DT. IMO Dead Money is the only time hollow-points and standard shells are remotely useful (ghost people have 0 DT).

@jordanallen9566 Год назад

.223 and 5.56 are actually a little different, although occasionally interchangeable. The throat length of 5.56 is a bit longer, with more power. In gameplay it doesn’t matter, though

@ghjong001 Год назад

I love that we're still talking about FNV all these years later. Anyway, I love your list, but I think your criteria might be a little too focused on straight DPS, and tends to overlook the more specialized ways certain handguns can be used. For example, besides the ability to use AP rounds, That Gun/5.56 Pistol also have high critical multipliers, fast RoF & reload times, and synergize well with Ratslayer. Likewise, Lucky's ridiculous critical multiplier, and its low AP cost, makes it an absolute killer in VATS (plus the fact that it's available as early as Primm).

@NukaVader76 Месяц назад

You really undersold the 10mm, it goes down to 0.4 spread with the laser sight which makes it one of the most accurate handguns in the game, and it becomes fully silenced with a different mod.

Lil Devil is a holdout weapon because, as the name and model suggest, it is a smaller version of the 12.7mm pistol. This is also why the strength requirement is higher, because it would recoil harder

The first difference is the higher pressure level of the 5.56 NATO cartridge which runs at approximately 58,000 psi. A 223 Remington is loaded to approximately 55,000 psi.

Y-you can steal That Gun for free, it’s in the closet with all of the Model Rockets and T-Rex figures.

@GetTheFO Год назад

Putting stats into sneak skills is really what makes the silenced .22 useful. If I do sneak builds it stays with me to end of game. Lightweight, great accuracy, cheap ammo, cheap to repair.

@zachlewis9751 Год назад

The 45 autos are just the best. A Light is the best straight up next to the ranger sequoia, and the normal 45 auto is one of the best suppressed. It’s so easy to get and so easy to get a lot of ammo for that it’s just the go to for mid to late game suppressed pistols. Any time I do a run based around handguns I use whatever early game one I feel like using and go straight for Maria and then A Light / suppressed 45 auto if I’m doing stealth.

@NoPrefect 5 месяцев назад

I agree 100%. The modded .45 is a sneakable silenced piece of multi-perk enhanced death.

@HamanKarn567 Год назад

Lucky and Lil Devil are my favorite but I have a fondness for the basic 9mm since it's a Browning Hi Power. I do love the 10mm in new Vegas also the sound effects change makes it s lot more powerful.

@ReapeeRon Год назад

Yeah the Hi-power is such a cool weapon.

@GremDisaster Год назад

Pretty spot on. I'd say Lucky is S tier only because you can get it so early on, and with its luck modifier - getting Boone's beret, 10 luck, and that Finesse perk all early on, it is a MONSTER. well i think Finesse is like level 12 or 14, dont remember. But yeah, if you focus luck then Lucky is S tier for the first half of the game imo. Everything else is as i expected it. Sequoia and Lil' Devil are the tops. I'd prob move That Gun up to A. Loved the vid!

@hoodiegal Год назад

The 5.56/That Gun is my favorite by far. The amount of options for ammo makes it very versatile and it hits really hard on a variety of enemies thanks to that. I just wish it was more accurate. The unique .45 Auto looks pretty nutty though, def giving that a try once I've gone through HH.

@gamingbrother1699 Год назад

You can also shoot the Mysterious Magnum out of the guys hand. If you do it in one shot and then put your weapon away, he won't be hostile. Edit: This will break the revolver, though, and would need to be repaired. If you want it fast, do it my way. If you would rather wait, do it the steal ammo way.

@xxmemewizardxxps2902 Год назад

5.56 pistol and that gun will always be S tier solely because its a homage to blade runner. That and the reload noise is just cool as hell.

@Onlybadtakes2589 Год назад

Oh man finally a game im really knowledgeable about and i seriously disagree with the .45 pistol. Revolvers should all get bumped up by one since they have so many perk options

@point-five-oh6249 Год назад

Most of the semi-autos (the ones that really matter anyway) have just as many perk options. The only difference is revolvers have Cowboy, and the semi-autos that matter have Grunt.

@nomad_boreal Год назад

Something I didn't notice about the 12.7mm Pistol until now - it looks like was originally designed to have the magazine well in front of the trigger, but the reload animation still has the player reloading it thru the grip. But it would also have an extremely short barrel if it were the former.

@ReapeeRon Год назад

It probably was because in Fallout 2 it was like that with the 14mm pistol.

I made a handgun (not revolver) build just because there were so many awesome handguns (in stats and looks) in NV. Loved that run of the game. High crit and a lot of shots, does ok until a crit just ends someone. Was Maria, A light in the Darkness, That Gun, and L'il Devil. All the guns were fun and unique enough :O Also was good with a little VATS. I recommend it. Yes revolvers are cool but I am pretty sure everyone and their dad has done the cowboy revolver build in NV

A Light Shining in Darkness is my absolute favorite pistol. Rolling up to Caesar in Joshua Graham's outfit, wielding his gun and being like Ezekiel 23-25... "Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there SHALL. BE. NONE." And shooting that tumor right out of his pompous surface level understanding of philosophy having head.

@williamashbless7904 5 месяцев назад

Great stuff! A few peeves about the animations for revolvers: Single actions require you to thumb the hammer to rotate the cylinder in order to fire. Double actions allow you to pull the trigger to rotate the cylinder and fire or, thumb the hammer to fire and the pulling the trigger. The animations for Hunting Revolver and Sequoia don’t show thumbing the hammer which is required for these handguns. The Police Pistol(actually Revolver) has an animation that shows manually thumbing the hammer which is possible, but only done for target work. All combat shooting with double action revolvers is done without thumbing the hammer. “Lucky” is likely modeled on Texas Ranger Frank Hamer’s personal revolver he called ‘Old Lucky’. Hamer was a legendary Lawman who was most famous for killing Bonnie and Clyde. Considering ‘Lucky’ is found across from the Vickie and Vance Casino……

Lucky is my absolute favorite weapon in the game, arguably tying with the Ranger Sequoia, but I love getting Lucky super early on and using it as α sort of signature weapon throughout the whole game.

@Aaahrg Год назад

The main downside of Lucky is that you have to have 75 lockpick skill to get it. Other than that its one of my favorites I use it threw the whole game. Edit: .223 and 5,56 mm are NOT the same caliber. .223 is far more common in civilian use and 5,56, the military one, has slightly more pressure thats why it does make more damage.

@dmanning4114 Год назад

caliber is the bore diameter. 223 and 5.56 are literally the same caliber.

@dreamcream3738 Год назад

In terms of projectile size, they are the same. The 5.56 has more kick due to the extra powder in the cartridge. That's why the AR-15 chambered in 5.56 can fire the .223 without consequence, but an AR-15 chambered in .223 can't handle a 5.56 for long; the temperature difference will break down the barrel

@ImperialPatches Год назад

Li'l Devil is actually bugged they forgot to put it into the form list for improvised hold out weapons so it only can be snuck into casinos and the fort while your sneak is lower than 50, raise it above and it starts getting confiscated again. There are several mods that fix this but it's a weird bug with the base game version of the gun that really brings it down for it's niche as one of the best hold out weapons.

@Scoots_McBoots 2 месяца назад

Great video! I largely agree with this, although I'd have That Gun at the top of A tier. The other ones may technically be better, but aesthetics, yo. Also, if you're on PC, there are mods to A) add non-unique DLC or GRA pistols to regular loot pools, B) make mods for base game and GRA weapons interchangeable, and C) add more weapons to grunt / cowboy / etc. Because of the way Bethesda does DLCs, items / perks from one won't work with another, so I think these changes all make sense. In addition, there's one to allow unique weapons to use mods, which might be OP, but that's up to personal preference.

@subtlewhatssubtle Год назад

The 12.7mm pistol has arguably one of the most hilarious upgrades, to whit, a silencer. And the silencer is a perfect silencer too, so you could theoretically sneak around with it and do comically violent things to blissfully unaware enemies.

@rdrrr 10 месяцев назад

It's actually quite plausible, too! There are subsonic .50 Action Express loads... using 460gr bullets. Even moving at a stately 1,000 feet per second, a bullet that comically hefty generates about 1,100ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle from a 6 inch barrel. PS: Your username pairs with your comment *perfectly* .

@savvasumin1221 2 дня назад

The very important (and understated) point about That Gun is that it is the only handgun capable of using armor-piercing ammunition. This is an important capability (especially if you aggro the Legion early on 😅) that comes in a very small package. It also does many other things remarkably well - both its crit chance and multiplier are well above average (among the three highest in its class, if memory serves), it's accurate enough to be used at mid- to long-range. It has low capacity (which is true of all revolvers), but reloads quickly enough to mostly negate this drawback 🤷🏼‍♂️ If all that wasn't enough - consider that it is affected by the Cowboy perk! I can't stress this enough, if you specialize in lever-action firearms and revolvers (WHICH DO NOT HAVE DEDICATED ARMOR-PIERCING AMMUNITION TYPES) - That Gun enables you to have an AP capability while still using a firearm affected by this (very powerful) perk. It is also available very early and very easily obtainable, in contrast to most unique weapons. To conclude, this is a rather interesting gun. It seemingly has many drawbacks, but on a closer look - it actually also rectifies most of them (if not all) in some way, which can be said only of a very small number of weapons in the game. On my personal list it would be S tier 😊

@robertjonsson797 Год назад

@mohamedmaatougui2469 Год назад

Lil' Devil beats the Ranger's Sequoia and ALSiD in DPS until like 25 DT i believe (even when including all ammo types), which is basically everything in the game excluding Joshua Graham, a few BOS and the X-42 Giant Robo-Scorpion at max level soo yeah it's basically always higher damage while also being debatably easier to get than the other 2 Ranger Sequoia is better than both at 25+ or 30+ (i forget the actual break point since i haven't done these experiments in a while and didn't log them lol), and is also hyper accurate and with its supreme damage giving it the best burst out of stealth and alot of potential for one shots The best combo would be Ranger's sequoia for long range assassination and Lil' Devil for general use, thus granting them S tier I would probably drop ALSiD to A tier since it's more annoying to get than either and requires super .45mm ammo to keep up with the top tiers which shreds through the durability I would drop it to B or C but i don't dare because it is such a sexy gun, and provides a nice middle ground (higher dps up to 25ish dt than Ranger) (higher dps at 25+ than Lil' Devil) with super low carry weight I would also buff up Lucky to S tier since it's incredibly powerful (with hand load is basically the best early game option) can be gotten right out of the gate, and uses super common ammo I would similarly drop Maria, .556mm pistol and .12mm pistol to C or even a new rank D, because they are gotten late enough where you should have options that completely outclass them in every way by the point you can even access them, i wouldn't drop That Gun to that point since even though it has worse ammo and every similar stats to lucky, it doesn't require the annoying ammo swap mechanic to keep solid DPS, unlike Lucky

@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers Год назад

For me- and I'm sure for lots of Fallout fans- the sheer variety of weapons is a big part of what makes FNV the big cheese of the series. Consider the pistol selection in Fallout 4: 10mm, pipe pistol, The Deliverer, ...laser pistol? 🫥 The hell, FO4? And the retro-future aesthetic of the weapons is less Fallout, more cartoonish incoherrence. FNV has a masterful blend of real-world weapons that would plausibly be in service throughout the post-apocalypse, along with sci-fi modifications to those weapons in addition to strictly new retro-futuristic weaponry. Plus, all the ammo types, calibers- FO4 has none of it. FO4 with a few hundred mods is great though, i play it all the time. But vanilla FNV is a masterpiece all on it's own.

This is a small niche thing, but there's an npc that gives you schematics for unique .44 Magnum bullets. They're pretty much the fusion between armor piercing and hollow point. Granted it's requirements are demanding with you needing 50 on guns and 65 on survival for the speech check and 75 repair to make the bullet in the first place but once you get through all that and start finding a good amount of .44 cases you'll be blasting holes throughout the whole wasteland with your mysterious magnum.
