Old glory isn't a flagpole, it's actually the staff of the Congress. Long ago it was an actual weapon used against unruly assembly members, but these days it mostly functions as a talking stick on the rare occasion they actually use it. Also, weapons with randoms women's names like Annabelle and Esther are references to the US military tradition of giving your weapon a woman's name (or in more recent times, a man's if you're gay or a female.) The tradition goes back further than our country's history into obscurity and is most prevalent in the Marines and army

I think he meant that originaly this weapon was much weaker and was called a flagpole back when Ulysses was supposed to be a companion in the base game but sadly that idea was cut. However if this idea had made it into the game the Lonesome Road dlc probobly wouldn't exist. Interesting fact though.

Fallout 4's weapon selection in general is shameful. Awful toy looking guns and very few that feel any satisfying. There's a reason weapon mods are the most popular mods by a lot.

The holorifle is technically a heavily modified grenade rifle. That ‘useless’ durability upgrade, when applied at max durability, actually makes it so much more durable it’s actually Unbreakable The Q-35 also has a detail you didn’t mention. It consumes less ammo per shot than the standard plasma rifle, meaning it’s lower base damage is also offset by its ammo efficiency

@Mr.TamOShanter-em6jm

Q-35 is always my go-to workhorse rifle. Another thing to mention is the Q-35 also fires much faster projectiles. This, combined with the ammo efficiency, makes it much more friendly to down-the-sight shooting. The faster projectile means you don't have to lead your target like with a normal plas and the ammo efficiency means it's less of a big deal to miss sometimes.

The unique weapon list from Fallout 3 is my favorite of yours. This right here is just icing on the cake. The little footnotes about all the weapons are much appreciated. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.

The straight razor called "Figaro" does not have metallic grip panels, but pearl. Thus was a common upgrade to the visual esthetics of many different tools and weapons with revolvers being a primary example.

I remember playing Day Z with a dude back in the day (like 2010 oof) He always called the Shotgun the "Dinner Bell" because you shoot it once and all the zombies in the area come around for a meal. I always assumed it was from something but I never looked into it, especially because the FNV shotgun had the same name. Hopefully that can maybe help your search.

It's great you post this while I'm doing a run I can only use unique weapons and armor and have to find every single unique item

My understanding was that only the “driver” part of Nephis name came from his weapon, the Driver part from the fact that it’s a golf club

the use of energy cells and shot gun shells on fist weapons works fine, the game supports it, energy cells will count down and give you the effect of the fired rounds, the only thing that doesn't work about it is you can apply a mini nuke to fists as well.

And because basically every kid from the 1940s to 2000s will never forget seeing that long thin box in wrapping paper under the Christmas tree. As a kid most of my best friends were girls and they also got a Red Ryder, no doll houses for those badass little girls, 20+ years later most of them are either Soldiers or Marines now and still my closest friends. There's a reason why A Christmas Story used the Red Ryder, I don't know anyone who didn't get a Red Ryder BB gun and yes, everyone who had a Red Ryder at least once got hit with a ricocheting BB, usually to the face or neck but the Red Ryder shot BB's at a very low velocity so it wasn't dangerous is just stung. Hell, we used run around the woods playing war shooting each other but we always wore safety glasses.

FNV deathclaws gave me jumpscares. F4 Deathclaws looked too polished. It would be nice to have a Fallout New Vegas 2 with the option of old and new graphics. This game can't be beat imo. Great video btw

People have been saying this well before New Vegas came out, let alone today. They were even arguing the same thing comparing Fallout 3 to the original games claiming that the graphics had too much focus put on them. Graphical fidelity isn't mutually exclusive with other qualities found in a game. Especially with AAA games considering larger budgets and huge dev teams. Don't forget that these games were considered good looking at one point. Off the top of my head the Battlefield games are another one that people used to say they focused too much on the graphics. That was back when we thought games couldn't look much better than BF4; it was new and so took a lot of player focus. Today you can easily tell it came out in 2013 as it doesn't look as good as we all thought and is pretty easy to run on a modern PC. It's the gameplay that players have stuck around for and it's unhindered by all those who wanted the cutting edge in graphics back in 2013. For some reason people act like AAA dev teams don't have specialized workers organized into departments and are instead this equally skilled monolithic group that can only work on one thing at a time. It doesn't help that so many AAA games today release in a poor state but still usually look good. It has a lot more to do with the business side of things and stuff like micro transactions than it does resource management. That really only comes into play with indie games, or at least it should.

the 1 weapon you didnt cover is the "Ranger Seqioua" you can only get it if Chief hamlin kills himself and has a higher DPS and lower spread than the standard 45 mag plus if you are playing as an NCR ranger it looks amazing

I always thought the “Humble Cudgel” was an homage to the Humble Bundle store, but maybe the dates don’t quite line up? Both FNV and the first bundle launched in late 2010, but FNV was apparently first…

Abilene kid's BB gun (on wild wastelander trait) can be found inside a well, similar to John's BB gun, in fallout 2 - on a quest inside mordoc.

I think greased lightning and two step goodbye are actually names of popular dance moves from around the 50’s

N_orte, you are aware that the 45 auto submachine gun is the tommy gun right? They basically just had to re-work the laser rcw and the 45 sub into the tommy

Esther is named like that because of military tradition. Like the landmine that bounces up "Bouncing Betty".

Embrace of the Mantis King! came in so clutch in my Unarmed run. I decided not to just look up how to get good unarmed weapons, so I was hurting for damage when I finally saw it in Mick and Ralph's. Came out flat broke but in a much better position in combat.

I personally think that Two step goodbye is called what its called cause of how the weapon works. You punch someone and by punching them, the barrel (pressumably shotgun) shoots. Basically two step goodbye.

I think you missed Elijah's advanced LAER. Unless its not a unique

There’s at least two that I know of in the Old World Blues DLC… though I would consider it in the same class despite it being considered “rare” like the Ranger Sequoia, Red Glare, Shoulder Mounted LMG, Arc Welder, H&H Tools Nail Gun, Bowie Knife, etc.

I think there are only two, so almost unique.

1:04:34 yeah, the Tommy gun only came in the DLC "honest hearts" But they could've used the Laser RCW, as it's just a Thompson with laser ammunition

Me and my brother have been re playing this game since it first came OUT ❤ WE HAD THE COMIC BOOK AND CARAVAN Cards and i will never stop playing this game

Recompense of the fallen also seems to be a bit of a joke at the expense of the dead. You find it in a legion headquarters tossed into a desk. It seems like the legion mocking the NCR

You can get blade of the east when you first encounter Legions in the town they took over. I believe you have to pickpocket a legion member to get it.

Thank you for making this video. I didn't want to have to read through all these on the wiki

You missed that Dinner Bell has a perk attached to the shotgun, "And Stay Back"

"New Vegas doesn't have any sort of Tommy Gun look-alike" it does tho! just not in the base game, the .45 Auto smg was introduced in Honest Hearts

Makes sense, setting wise. The Tommy was more of an east amd east coast weapon like NY, Chicago, etc. Also used in WWI.

What about the laser rcw?

I would like to see you do a playthrough series.. have you ever considered it?

There are so many uniques I didn't know existed because they belong to characters I'd never think to kill or rob, or are found in places I never knew existed

I could watch these kinda of videos repeatedly and idk why lol

Nice that you show video.

radio raheem doesnt have on brass knuckles in do the right thing, its a 4 finger ring

An additional interpretation of “A Light Shining in the Darkness” is a literal representation of how it might be seen from a distance; flashes of muzzle fire in a dark cave.

Yeah see the funny thing about bozar in new vegas is that it WAS supposed to be a sniper rifle, the tag "the ultimate sniper rifle of choice" wasnt misleading...if it was a sniper rifle but something happened in new vegas's code that glitched the gun to be a light machine gun

More amazed you had all these ways to explain if the vendor dies than you scripting the whole thing, laughed to hard at the smiley face

The instant pop culture reference that i thought of for "pushy" thats not related to the in-game weapon, would be from Smokin Aces. Where the contract giver confuses a different type of unarmed weapon the 2 ladies want to use to take out Buddy Aces Israel with, with the word "pushy".

my only idea for the big boomer would be that it’s a reference to the boom stick from evil dead but it’s a bit of a stretch
