The Prototype Medic Power Armour beneath the Deathclaw-infested town is pretty awesome too, albeit difficult to get (fighting Deathclaws in tight spaces, ow ow ow).

PRO TIP

Do the little mini-quest inside the "Nuka-Cola Factory" to get the formula for "Nuka-Cola Clear". Go to the "Red Rocket Tricycle Factory" just NE of the "Nuka-Cola Factory" and meet the gang with hockey masks outside the door. Sell them the formula.. then kill them. There's no karma penalty for killing them. Loot the hockey mask from the leader.

DR: 5
AP: +25

Best piece of headwear in the game so far.

You make it with a schematic. Easiest way to get it is to go west of Tenpenny Tower, you'll find the F. Scott Key Campground (look for a flagpole). There you'll find a Deathclaw and a trailer with the schematic.

Deathclaws are pretty tough though, so you may want to bring the dart gun and some bottlecap mines if you're low level.


I'm working on getting to where my bottlecap mines will be able to one shot deathclaws. have lockpick science and melee up to 90 now (via points and a combo of books and bobbleheads), am now working on the explosives perks and skill. My mine does around 500 damage now, and anything that survives oneo f those gets quad power fisted.

After you find out where the super mutants come from and how they're created, do you ever get to tell anyone that for a quest or something? Seems kind of strange that there's so many people trying to figure out where the mutants come from, and then you find out in Vault 87 and nobody seems to care.

Fuck Mutants. I was about to go into that radiated chamber and sacrafice myself to turn on the water purifier, when I had a great idea. Fawkes! He's a Mutant! They're immune to radiation! So I tried to get him to go in instead of me and he gave me some mumbo jumbo about how everyone has a destiny and he refuses to rob me of mine.

So just for that I slipped the modified FEV virus into the system before I turned it on.

He lasted about 0.3 seconds.

I did too at first, then I noticed there's a door right at the back that takes you upstairs and to a different section with half a ton of crap scattered around.

Lincoln's coins, hat, repeater(rifle), voice, action figure.

FYI, the "Vengence" gatling laser you find at the bottom of the Deathclaw Sanctuary breaks the game. It's like taking a chainsaw to zombies, except at long range. It's even more powerful than the Alien Blaster you find at the crashed UFO.

I am clearing out paradise falls as we speak. i am trying to get 30 nuka cola quantams so I can get a second nuka grenade schematic.

My bottlecap mines do 633 damage now. and I still have 28 points of skill and a rank of demo expert to go!

Yay only 6 quantams left to go!

Well, slavers aren't really bigots, because they put anyone in to servitude. Man, woman. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian. Adult, Child. You're all fair game.

Power fist is my primary, explosives are my secondary (for groups or big things). If I could get a reliable supply of explosives, they'd be my primary. My bottlecap mines do 800 damage now, nuka grenades do 500.

You can trade in technology(Laser/Plasma weapons, Alien power cells) to the Brotherhood Outcasts at Fort Independence, one of the selectable rewards is a varying amount of Frag Grenades, depending on what you brought.

As an aside, here's the original Fallout 3 made by Black Isle which was 95% complete before Black Isle was closed in 2003.

It.. looked.. pretty damn good. For 2003 anyway.
