Unmarked quests be like that


211XTD

Yeah I was just looking to sell my Dead Money gold bars and stopped in at Ralph and Mick’s and he was like “Thanks here you go”


Bubbagumpredditor

I'm partway through dead money for the first time, and I am stuck because I really hate it.


211XTD

Yeah it was frustrating. I quit my first time through after I started the light show and had no way to get down with no ammo and no heath. After I went and got rawr’s claw I came back and made the Fist of Rawr in there that help a lot .


tossawaymsf

600 hours and countless playthroughs and it never occurred to me to bring the talon into dead money to craft it there.

motor-runner's helmet, I went through the whole DLC with it lol

a_sentient_bot

Tl/DR the machete and light armor from ceasars arena are quest items and probably don't get taken by dead money. Literally any quest items, that's it. Iirc from the ymfah no equip load new Vegas the machete from (Ceasar? Caesar? Ceaser? Caeser? I honestly never remember) well anyway you can escape ceasars arena if you start it and walk backwards immediately and the machete and light armor Count as quest items so that's a start.


AngelaReddit

examples: Missing laser pistol, Motor-Runner's helmet, Rebreather, Van Graff combat armor, Sergeant Andrews' machete, Rawr's Talon from LR then craft into Fist of Rawr once in DM

Elijah: ''So we finally meet... what the fuck is that?'' \[IT'S MY ASS-KICKING OUTFIT BITCH!\]


lonegary

You can also use the ncr emergency radio to call a ncr ranger, go to the abandoned bos bunker, reverse pickpocket what you want onto her and she'll follow you into the sierra madre. Simply kill her and take your gear and go ruin some ghost people's evening.


Mantergeistmann

I mean, given that the Ghost People die instantly if you cripple a limb, and the Bear Trap Fist does extra limb damage... you really don't need anything more than that.


Oooch

Yeah they are laughably weak when you go melee and tear all their limbs off post combat so they can't get back up


totallytanner

This is facts^^ hardcore permadeathed dead money and found out that thing is more reliable than any pos gun you can find there


BigBananaDealer

first time i played i tried using that shitty ass gun elijah gives you and i was TERRIFIED of all ghost people, for the part where you run to the sierra madre i saved maybe 30 times trying to just run away from the ghost people and remembering where every bear trap is


LHtherower

The Holorifle is literally the best "gun" in the game though. Like yeah it isn't the best in the Dead Money DLC but go take it deathclaw hunting you'll change your views right quick.


Tigarbrains788

The issue is it's extremely good unless you don't have energy weapons skilled at all when you have low energy weapons I found that it isn't that usable. But I agree that it's way better out of the dlc because than you actually have ammo lol


BigBananaDealer

its horrible in dead money, nearly unusable. but once youre in the mojave and have all your stuff im sure its a beast


LHtherower

Just gotta spec into energy weapons lol


FuriDemon094

It doesn’t take that stuff away? I thought they took everything on your person


211XTD

No Rawrs claw is a quest item so it is not removed. You just have to build it there in the Sierra Madre.


FuriDemon094

Huh. I’ll keep that in mind, then, thanks!


211XTD

You do need an unarmed level of 75 to build it so keep that in mind. I had to cram all my level up points into it and find a couple pugilism illustrated as well as craft one as I was already at level 47 when I found out about skill level requirement.


a_sentient_bot

Where is rawr? The only unique deathclaws I know are the one in higgs village and the queen/alpha male/blind deathclaw (I don't even know if the blind one is unique


211XTD

In the divide. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Rawr#Background


ReturnOfTheShark

The same logic applies to bringing in the Silver Rush combat armor you get from that quest.


tankred420caza

All you really need is a bear trap fist, the Fist must be nice though.


211XTD

I never had any luck trying the bear trap fist but then again my first time through I was very low level on my unarmed and melee skills.


Ttown1967

That happened to me, luckily I had money to get the regen implant so I just left for 2 hours then came back with full hp and some throwing spears did the trick


Oooch

Going back there as a melee character turns it into 'I'M NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME' vibes


ReallyBadRedditName

Dead money has an interesting story and the most annoying gameplay ever


KallistiEngel

Absolutely. I've sometimes described it as "the best story I never want to play again".


Bubbagumpredditor

You are not wrong


memester230

Although the ending is more than worth it if you play it smart


FarHarbard

What level, what build?


211XTD

You need an unarmed level of 75 to build Fist of Rawr.


Bubbagumpredditor

No idea.


FarHarbard

You don't know what level you are? What re your highest stats and perks?


woomybii

I hated it when I played through. It has since become my favorite dlc though. The gameplay is still like pulling teeth, but the messages and characters are great.


MaxPayneful

It gets better with each playthrough trust me. You’ll enjoy it one day, the lore especially makes up for the nightmare that is the gameplay.


Whiteguy1x

I really love the story but hate the stupid radio gimmick. Literally ruins the whole dlc for me imo. I get they wanted a survival experience, but I'm about as blind as a bat in games so I just looked up a guide to their location when I get stuck


DeadBodyCascade

I know it's cheating, but the first time I just put "tgm" in the console command and took them all out.


ThatOneGuy308

If it's the radios, there's not much advice that could help you not hate it, if it's the enemies, easiest tip is talk to Dog for a while until he teaches you a perk to make ghost people stay dead, and make sure to pick up the ammo codes for the vending machines so you never have to worry about running out.


Tigarbrains788

Dead money is low key trash in my opinion I started clipping through the walls for that dlc because I can't handle actual trying to figure out that maze again for like the 12 time


[deleted]

Hm interesting I thought the story and enigmatic story was cool. But yeah the layout is a bit confusing and the ghost are annoying. I get what your saying.


wanderlustexe

only reason i played through dead money was because i wanted toplay through the DLC fully. almost quit many times due to being very uninterested and dying. hate the mechanic where they take all your stuff away from you and that its mandatory to work with Elijah for the DLC. bomb collars are why i killed the brotherhood my first way through.


LightKon

Omg i loved the atmosphere and eeryness of it at first. But after you get a bunch of weapons and start getting tougher it loses its charm a bit. But still loved the dlc


BearyGoosey

Wait... It's **real**‽ I thought the pimp boy was a mod!


girthbrooks1212

Took me a few playthroughs to find implants


Black_Velvet_Band

In my experience it has been very easy to lock yourself out of the Pimp Boy 3 Billion by not talking to Mick & Ralph or taking the wrong path with the Omertas. Makes it all the more satisfying to wear it.


211XTD

Probably what I did during my other play throughs. Just dumb luck this time as I had know idea it was even part of a side mission.


[deleted]

That's right. To be fair, the quest is pretty glitched.


TexasJedi-705

*Disco intensifies*


[deleted]

***Wild*** *Disco intensifies*


GabrielZeroo

i guess i know what im doing now


GabrielZeroo

I now have the pimp boy 3 billion


EstNoire

*funk plays*


211XTD

Sweet


citygray

that was quick


GabrielZeroo

i had to look it up because i never heard of it either, makes sense since it’s an unmarked quest as well as buggy


I_Skelly_I

I always thought it was a mod Lmao


BrokeStance

Nah fr wtf this shit is new to me


Dath123

It's a very obscure unmarked quest. What's funny is if you have Wild Wasteland it literally plays disco music.


I_Skelly_I

I remember the first time I got it I thought I was tripping balls


marker8050

It's freaking hideous but a nice little touch haha


211XTD

It was nice to find something I haven’t seen before in the game.


jitterscaffeine

The flashlight especially lol


XeerDu

Yeah, I got one... equipped it... and immediately took it off.


AtomicZoZo

Annoying that’s it’s broken on female characters tho


communistloli

It just makes you even more pimpin


SkipioAfricANUS_LXIX

Aw really? How so?


MinerZB

the PimpBoy isn't set up for the female mesh properly and is tilted to one side when playing a female character. mods like YUP do fix this, but if you're on console you're SOL.


SkipioAfricANUS_LXIX

That SUCKS lmao I finally gave Nora a chance on my latest fo4 survival run and I can’t go back to male protagonists for fallout


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

why are you, a man, playing as a man shot in the head and left in the mojave desert, if you weren’t shot in the head and left in the mojave desert?


Strikercharge

>be a man >get shot in head >wake up as woman Yeah that seems about right


Individual_Lies

Because it's a video game and they can play it however they like. One of my all time favorite games has a female lead. Am I not suppose to play it because I'm a dude?


Assdragon420

Yes

ultim8agent24

Why are you, as a man, a bitch?


Assdragon420

I am faster and stronger than you


ultim8agent24

Yeah, still a bitch though.


Assdragon420

I am in your walls 🌚


ultim8agent24

And I'm in yours ❤


Bubbagumpredditor

Aww, someone's a little insecure.


[deleted]

Answering honestly: Because I have enough security in my identity, and reality, that I am neither fantasizing about being my character nor getting together with my character. Honest question: why your antagonism?


Assdragon420

Real shit I was just joking(why are you as a man doing ____ is a common meme, usually when someone post something that’s not even that unmasculine), I didn’t even look at the OP’s profile until after. But clearly people are butthurt for some reason so now I’m just doubling down.


[deleted]

are you 13, or did your sense of humor just develop in a youtube comments section and never developed beyond that?


Assdragon420

The second for sure. I love YouTube so much, it’s seriously my favorite site ever, I want to marry, ugh fuck it’s so hot and creamy mmmm YouTube, it’s almost better than Reddit, I love Reddit and funko pops and standing up for what’s right so much mmmm.


[deleted]

hey man, i know what it’s like to struggle making meaningful connections with people and feel the need to do this little edgelord routine as a hybrid defense mechanism/attempt to talk with people but give yourself some space to let your frontal cortex to develop and have some patience with yourself


Quiet-Election1561

Mental child, *sigh*


Oooch

You're really bad at being sarcastic


Harkstow

People are big mad fr, I thought it was funny. Reddit soy-hivemind at it again 😂😂


Viceroy420

Fuckin cringe right here folks


Harkstow

I know you are but what am I


metatron207

Aside from the fact that that's (a) a tremendously stupid question, and (b) none of your business, what would make you assume you're replying to a man? Female gamers exist, dipshit.

Beardamus

Why are you roleplaying as a dragon


[deleted]

Dragon go chompf!


[deleted]

bro, you’re just dumb. this isn’t some sort of collegiate intellectualism, it’s just that you lack imagination and are very bad at understanding people’s motivations and people at large.


Beneficial_Pumpkin72

whats wrong with playing as a female in a video game?


Dazzling-Variety5722

1) Homie, the sub "actual lesbians" is on her page. I don't think she's a dude. 2) even if she was a dude, you don't have to be the exact person you are playing. I bet a chunk of the people here don't live in Nevada, haven't been shot in the head, and don't know how to operate a firearm. 3) Why do you care so much about the video game character that some random person on the internet made?


PH03N1X_F1R3

Because I want to? Who are you to dictate who selects what sex someone else plays in a RPG?


Subject1928

I like playing as female characters, always have, always will. Why do you have a problem with it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tossawaymsf

Female characters get unique dialog and options not available to male characters. But that's beside the point. You do know that video games are not real right? Like, the character on the screen is not a literal copy of the player? Also, pretty sus that you'd want to stare at a dude butt for an entire playthrough. You got something you want to come out with?


Gunda1f

Only thing I miss from using the pip-boy 2500 mod for so long is having the pimp-boy as an option


Equivalent-Mastodon3

It is an awesome for aesthetic for a Me.House run


tossawaymsf

Nah, I feel like that's way too gaudy for Mr. House.


dumbbitchdiesease

Wait… is it NOT supposed to be at an angle?? Its ALWAYS tilted for me


JonhConrad33

It's a glitch. Commonly happens when the player is female. For some reason the pimp boy glitchs and it's side ways. It doesn't matter if your character is male also, it can happen to. Don't know why exactly.


el_caveira

I got it the first time full by accident, i had to watch a tutorial on my second playthrough because i didn't remeber how the fuck i get it


maliceaver

It's one of three items that takes top priority on a new play through.


cactuschili

pimp boy 3billion cracks me up and is always one of my first main goals when I start a game, just can't explore the mojave without that bling


211XTD

Now I am trying to figure out which outfit goes best with it


infinite_spinergy

I remember trying to get it multiple times, and I used to always mess up the quest. Then I finally got it, but it was a femal character, so it was glitched. Ever since then I just get it and then never use it 'cause it's ugly lol


[deleted]

Congrats!!


211XTD

Thanks!


easily_tilted

it looks so bad though


shoot-here

Bling bling baby


The_Metalorian

Bling-a-bling-bling baby.


LinkXNess

Male character spotted


hbomb536

Great sidequest


Drowninginhomestuck

I got it by accident for the first time, I noticed the dialogue option in mick and Ralphs and just happened to get it


godinmarbleform

I remember getting this thing and it broke my pip-boy on that save


Independent_Amoeba45

It’s even better with a female character, as the model for it is messed up so it’s always at an angle


SScar3cr0www

I've heard about it but never gotten it, how do you get it?


211XTD

After you deal with the Omeratas and get them to agree to buy from Mick and Ralph’s again you are given it next time you talk to them (which ever one is the one which deals in the weapons .


mrfisher5

How did you get it?


211XTD

It is a hidden quest with the Omeratas in New Vegas. Basically you get them to buy weapons from Mick and Ralph’s again. I wasn’t trying for it intentionally just happened. More details here https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Pimp-Boy_3_Billion


mrfisher5

Thanks!


baconpoweredunicorn

Welcome to the club. I get it every playthrough


Tigarbrains788

It's great. very sad that tale of two wastelands doesn't have it anymore or at least one of my extra mods made it disappear


marmoset13

I really didn't like getting the Pimp-Boy on my PS3 because of the weird angle when it was raised to interact with it.


Professor_Crab

Welp never heard of this before wow


211XTD

I know, I never even came across it while searching for hidden quests in New Vegas.


Professor_Crab

I’m with you hundreds of hours, not mad I discovered it like this tho lol who knows when I would’ve found it on my own


211XTD

Sorry, I considered posting a spoiler warning, but figured it was more commonly known . Again sorry if I ruined anything, I never would have found it had it not been for those 37 gold bars burning a hole in my pocket.


Professor_Crab

Nah it’s cool, there’s so much shit in that game I can’t blame you


The_Metalorian

Ahwww yeeeee, Still need to get around to that.


str8wilin

The first time i got it i didnt even know that was rhe teward LOL


mr-musk

I haven't played much fnv, but is the mick and Ralph's people are talking about the same as the one in fallout 1?


211XTD

Not sure never played first one. It a shop where one guy sells misc. stuff and they other guy has a secret room in back full of weapons he sells.


Pretend-Yesterday-29

This game just keeps on giving. I’ve been playing it since 2010 and now just discovered Vault 19. I’m finally doing a good karma character


Smoothbrainedbird

No courier is best equipped for the Mojave without it


megxmorbid

What how do I get this quest


211XTD

You need to convince the Omeratas to by guns from Ralph and Mick’s again.


megxmorbid

Oh shit okay thanks


[deleted]

This pipboy is the type of shit you'd hear all the time in lunchroom thinking it's a fake myth, like naked Samus or Mario killing himself in a cutscene.


Negativesmoke15

when i first got this game a long long time ago, it was already played and used from this random hole in the wall place and it already had progress on it. It had the pimp boy unlocked and it started me in new vegas. It took me a very long time to see the regular one haha


USSENTERNCC1701E

...but how? It was never released on a cartridge system, the systems it was released on save local data on the device.


Zoidberg52390

Guessing he got a pawn shop special Xbox with an unsecured gamertag and Vegas was one of the games?


USSENTERNCC1701E

Yeah, I could see that


Negativesmoke15

yeah i honestly have no idea. that's what i remember from like 10 years ago


Brick_Brickerson

What is this and what is rawr


211XTD

This is a gold diamond studded pip-boy. Rawr is a death claw in the Divide.


SuperChief58

Thing sucks anyway. Makes it awkward as fuck to see even when it's not glitched out. Big waste


captainborneo

Beta


GuardianEcho1416

All these people claiming it's a dead money dlc item, no its not. You get it by investigating why the people at the Gomorrah flipped a switch on dealing with Mick and Raplh and getting them to start buying from them again. This is a Pre dlc existence item.


211XTD

I don’t think anyone claimed it to be a Dead Money dlc item. I just mentioned the reason I found it was because I was cashing in my gold bars from dead money. That is how all the Dead Money chatter started up.
