  • Fallout: New Vegas has a lot of melee weapons ranging from a simple razor to a thick super sledge. Somewhere between the upper range of those two exists a weapon that I honestly haven’t ever considered using: the thermic lance.
    According to the Fallout Wiki, it turns out that this weapon has the potential of being the most damaging melee weapon in the entire game.
    The problem? We have to get it first. Let’s pull up our thigh highs, cuddle our stuffed animals and see if you can be Fallout: New Vegas Only using the Thermic Lance.

    First time I used the thermic lance I was an explosive build that just turned legion assassins into flying chunks. It was the best back up melee weapon I had.

    The thermic lance is BUSTED OP. A few weeks ago I was playing DUST and trying to clear out the searchlight fire station full of brotherhood paladins, I died so many times until I decided to try using the thermic lance I had. I killed them all in miliseconds in 1 try

      Dust does have much different damage scalling, but I completely agree the lance is very fun to use!

    the thermic lance is better against heavily armored enemies I feel like, because it goes through armor.

    • @directionalowl
      @directionalowl  Год назад +12

      Surprisingly enough, the weapon is actually broken and it doesn't seem to ignore heavy armor. You can see several times in the video that the enemies red shield was still present to support that claim and the wiki voices the same observation. I did grab unstoppable force though!

    I see no reason why some sort of lightweight composite armor couldn't be used in zombie movies. It doesnt even need to protect the full body or be real armor: wrap phone books around your arms and legs, maybe football pads for your neck and shoulders? That should cover you for 95% of potential zombie-related injuries.
