"barter is a trash star"
Nods head in agreement
*Instantly remembers having 100 Barter and having 200,000 caps from selling Armor, water, energy weapons, alcohol and MF cells*
There is too much easy money in base FNV but barter is REALLY for the Pack Rat perk half weight on everything 2lbs and lighter.
Motherfucking cells
Yeah, but what do you but with all those caps? Why do you need but don't already have?
I mean, I get it, I'm the same way.
I just don't understand WHY.
@@cymond don't worry trust me I'm in the same boat with you once you get all the upgrades for all the weapons and all the ammo you kind of need you kind of don't need money anymore once you're able to get the upgrades for the weapons you want for the certain build you're doing whether that be Cowboy only energy weapons only it doesn't matter once you get enough money to basically get good armor and ammunition and stem packs you kind of don't need it anymore
@@cymond It's the call of the loot goblin. Some of us can't turn that instinct off.
*Ulysses overlooking
"Did he just get the Riot Gear & leave?"
Lol
Yep. He left, sir. With the riot gear. 😐
Bro, I beat this fucking DLC at lvl 2 with not many things, it was my first real mission right after helping out Ringo with the powder gang for no reason at all, so then I accidentally rushed to the silo, and I started at lvl 2 finished it at lvl 18
@@leox8279 how did you even beat the hordes of droids after you activate the silo
The funniest thing about going straight to Lonesome Road is that none of the DLC or Ulysses' holotapes will make sense.
Courier: *enters the Divide*
Ulysses: Great you have come. *begins to mumble about the Bear and the Bull for 3 hours*
Courier: Takes Riot Gear and leaves
Ulysses: 👁,/||\,👁
😂
only real Gs play lonesome road for the Riot Gear.
he tells you mutiple times to just leave and forget about the divide so this is lore accurate as well
I’m fuckin Hollering
Courier: kicks open door. Takes riot armor. Leaves.
This is genius. Level 1 and legit has iconic armor of NV.

@@gaymansupreme You sir are a man of good taste. God bless.
Hey bro if you think this is cool I'll show you how to get the iconic Skyrim armor at level 1!
Bruh why can’t even open the door for divide, nothing pops up
@Race Burum I got it lol I didn’t know they were mods or dlc that were only for pc player , Bc i was playing on my ps4, but I got on my gaming laptop & then I bought fallout New Vegas ultimate that comes with every mod or dlc pack, whatever it is , in the game so now I own every game pack and have everything unlocked for fallout
Never knew you could leave Lonesome Road. Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Dead Money all trap you in the DLC. Didn't think Lonesome Road would be different. Learn something new every day
There's graffiti everywhere that says "You can go home, Courier"
@@nickoliekeyov746 guess I missed that lol
It literally tells you that the first time you activate the door to travel to Lonesome Road. "If the journey proves too difficult, or you need to resupply, you can retrace your steps and return to the Mojave at any time."
@@nickoliekeyov746 "I dont have a home you mysterious wall"
well it does lock you in at the start, but once you fire the nuke in the start it reopens. I like to RP that my guy was curious to check it out. But every time he would run into a road block, he would turn around and come back later.
Even in fallout 3, Mothership Zeta, operation Anchorage, The Pitt all had you stuck there. But Broken steel and point look out allowed you to leave whenever you wanted, granted broken steel is less of a dlc and more of a additional content for places we already had. But the new locations were ok, was stupid that you couldn't be aggro against the new brother hood even if you were an enemy of the brother hood in the capital wasteland, so there's no way to chose to help the Enclave except after you defeat them.
But I think fallout 4 dlc is all different, you can come and go as you like, and some of it isn't even outside the common wealth. So long shot calling it dlc, just fleshed out content
1:27-1:35 - In the game, Primm looks and feels like a town, but in real life, Primm is actually quite a big city. Since the developers obviously had to scale down every location, Primm is a city, canonically speaking.
In real life, it isn't a city at all. It's an unincorporated place with two casinos and a mall.
“Canon”
It's the Bordentown between cali and Nevada I live an hour away. It's not a city lol it's a hotel lobby with tourists and a Rollercoaster or two.
Even if any of that are true, which is isn't, this isn't the real world anyway.
It's an alternate reality that diverged in the 50s. So what you invent in your brain is even more wrong
Google search Primm and first thing that comes up is "Town in Nevada" lol
"Nobody takes barter because there's so much money in New Vegas"
But if I have anything to say about it, everyone is gonna give me just a little bit more. 🤑
but ending the game with 500,000 caps and having all the good weapons makes that meaningless. If caps are just used for buying and repairing. Then I don't even need to pay a repair person at al. You will never be the richest person, that will always be house. Kill him and you won't get any of his money. It wouldn't be hard to believe that house has many places like fortification hill or the el dorado power plant. But not as important to him taking over.
specially if places like the Sierra Madre had a full room full of loot and goods. What else does
@@ravinraven6913yep
Just from the looted gears alone you could make tons of cap, without heavy investments in Barter or Repair
Fun fact - if you go left instead of right immediately after walking the Road, you can go up and grab a free duffle bag without having to fight anything.
I don't get the statement fun fact, its never fun, but it is a fact. In fall out, if you go one way and it keeps going, go back and try the other way first. It usually just a supply cache or something.
Buzzkil, 😢
I stash my loot there when I don’t feel like leaving the road to dump the rest of it.
There's a second one at the top of the fallen transmitter tower you have to duck under just before you enter the silo.
I remember finding the entrance to Lonesome Road/the Divide early in my first playthrough when the game first came out. It was mystical and enigmatic, especially since the location never came up in the base game.
I had the same thought when I found the northern passage. I was like where the fuck does this go?
I first played new Vegas on 360 with the 2011 game of the year edition which didn’t have any of the DLCs and was bugged beyond all hell, still was a favorite to play hours on end and once I bought it on PC and got the DLCs it was like I finally felt complete in my journey and lonesome road has to be one of my favorites of the DLCs after playing it and getting all the new content from it
The location actually is mentioned once or twice by ingame NPCs, especially John Nash, the old guy in Primm. He complains that Ulysses flaked on his contract to carry the chip, and that he hopes those Divide sandstorms tear him apart.
I thought the location poped up on your pip boy automatically once you bought the DLC?
@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606brooooo basically the same exact thing for me
12 years later and my RUclips subscription box still looks like this game came out 2 days ago 😂
DLCs give you shortcuts, unless you're dead money.
Dead money was such a shit dlc
@@frankswims dead money is better than honest hearts and old world blues in my opinion
@@OneFatLizard nope, dead money is the worst one by far.
Old world blues is the best dlc
@@frankswimsdead money is good if u watch guide u can get every thing and all holo taps and free seri madre and It will help u ez to get stimpak and everything u need
This is an instant FroBro classic. Loving those longer videos man!
A salesman weekly and a stealth boy that you can both get at the Goodsprings Schoolhouse would help out even more with this endeavor
I usually enter Lonesome Road at level 8 or so, when I have Lockpicking at 100. I arrive loaded up with all the gear I've found till then. I get ED-E to repair everything and sell it at the terminal. I don't buy anything except 40mm grenades. I take in the Grenade Rifle you get at game start, the grenades make short work of the sentry bots. I repair and sell everything I find in the first area, then head on out into Hopeville beyond, where grenades own everything as well. You can get a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle from the first couple of guys there, and sometimes a Hunting Revolver or Carbine as well. Then into a building where a guy drops a unique sword, either Shishkebob or Blade of the West usually. I pick a Hard lock in that building to get the Armory codes, then go into the Armory to get a Riot Shotgun, two sets of Riot gear, tons of rockets, etc. Then up over a truck to get into the next area, where the lone bad guy has a Red Glare with another on the ground in the second floor of his building. Pick up the Laser Detonator, explode the nuke to be able to get back out, repair and sell everything again, then go back to Mojave.
It means that at level 10 or so, I have enough caps to buy all the implants at the Clinic. I also have two sets of Riot gear, the Riot Shotgun, a Red Glare, a Tri-Beam Laser rifle and a Plasma Defender. Oh, and ED-E is upgraded to repair my weapons and give me energy ammo every 13 hours as well. Once I'm back in Mojave, I do a quick and safe run to Sniper Nest and pick the Very Hard lock to get the Goby sniper rifle. Riot Gear, Goby and Riot Shotgun (with the Shotgun Surgeon and the And Stay Back perks) is basically my go-to gear for the rest of the game.
I always pump Barter to 70 for the Pack Rat perk. Does wonders for a survival playthrough
I've gone through that early part of Lonesome Road a few times. You can take out a single sentry bot with the arc welder (bonus damage to robots) at level 1 and then loot most of the place. Turning on the switch that brings in more enemies/unlocks the door outside presents a much more serious challenge.
Love the longer ones that really go into detail, great video :D
Yeah these longer videos are really cool, it reminds me there's always something to do in New Vegas
It blows my mind that this isn't a better known strat. It's so simple, and while it's clearly not risk-free, it's a pretty low risk for a pretty high reward at that stage of the game.
Everybody knows
I think it takes a lot of the challenge out of the early game, where you're wearing whatever armor you can find and you're trying to get buy with subpar weaponry. I can only imagine leaving The Lonesome Road at lvl 2 and riot gear, I imagine you laugh away at most early game enemies firing weapons at you
@@Gigean23373it definitely is if you play normal difficulty during the early game.
I did this years ago in my 2nd playthrough of this wonderful game. I really did it for the way the riot gear looks because I love the trench coat. You made this look so easy, I had a hard time when I did it but it was totally worth it and IMO the only armor that looks better than this is Randall Clark's Desert Ranger Combat Armor but that is buried pretty deep in Honest Hearts so it's way easier to get this armor early on first. Thank you for this streamlined way of obtaining this armor early on as I am thinking of another overdue playthrough of this amazing game on my GTX 760 rig I miss playing on.
Of all the years I have played this game, it has not once occurred to me that you could do this. Well done.
you can also loot stealth boys in Goodsprings and sneak past to Crow's Nest for upgraded riot gear
No way you get to Crow's Nest with 2 SBs at best.
@@Bodya_CN You may be able to find more on the way.
Any new play through of NV I do, I always hits up lonesome road! You can get some decent weapons that normally would take you awhile to find in the Mojave
Not sure what is nicer; the AP meter at 13/37, or the 69 comments as I'm typing this. YOU DECIDE!
Every single play through I hit the divide first to equip my character and get ED-E up and running. The riot helmet is worn across the board in every play through and it gets updated with the advanced version later on
I'm glad I found this because I just encountered the faction reputation reset glitch whenever I try to wear the standard NCR Ranger outfit. But this gear doesn't count as faction armor, so now I can wear something akin to the Ranger outfit like I wanted to, while still keeping my different reputations as they should be.
Longer videos are even better, good stuff
Taking on LR right away gives you a boosted start. Very helpful for hardcore runs!
One of my favorite starts is 8 luck/gamblers hat/hit the casinos and then go decimate a ranger camp for the cool ranger “casual” outfits. Then off to the clinic to become a cyborg.
Finally, retirement picking off Legion ants with the Gobi campaign rifle.
+ You can keep the Bowie knife which deals 30 dam with heavy handed, great for a melee run
Always up my Barter to 70 for the Pack Rat perk, then again I guess most people only play on Hardcore mode for the achievement so Barter ends up as a dump stat for them.
If you have to min/max it’s pointless but it’s one of the most fun skills to level in the game.
Even with weightless ammo it is useful.
Lmao I just downloaded NV like two weeks ago, bought all the dlcs just for pure nostalgic memories. I forgot how I got Ranger armor many many years ago when this game came out.. so thanks man! I’ll wear the armor with pride! Thinking about the Long 15 thing too to get the badass power armor.
Putting a grenade in a rangers pocket is a good way to get the ranger armor.
Nice! Definitely gonna do something like this next play through. Maybe not level 1 off of the rip but that armor does look amazing. I totally forgot that you could leave the divid whenever you wanted. Guess I thought it was similar to the Zion DLC in that regard.
I would die on the cross for ED-E
I always thought that lonesome road had a rock slide so you couldn't leave until the DLC was completed
regarding your question about the video length: definitely do longer vids as you feel the necessity. this one is a good example :) looking forward to more of these. now let me check if i am actually subscribed
I almost always tag and put points into barter coz there's a decent number of dialogue checks, often as an alternative to speech if needed, and bring rich is fun lol
- (Enter LR)
- Ulysses: "Ah Courier, me-me angy. Me rant."
- (Courier speedwalks past)
- Ulysses: "Eh? Whaa?!"
- (Grabs Riot gear)
- (Leaves and refuses to elaborate)
- Ulysses: "fine, I didn't want to rant anyway.. stupid Courier doesn't know.. dumb shooty-bang Courier.."
The iconic armor at level 1? What is this, a Bethesda game?
The only reason I want barter is for pack rat since I’m a hoarder!! It dramatically drops the weight difference. I remember before getting it I was always around 120/130 in weight. After it dropped me below 80 lbs. definitely worth it. I spend so much time going to and from vendors/warehouse to sell/store. After so many hours in the game it’s vital, depending on your play-style
ok that isn't bad idea, I hate fallout nv for its freezing. So I feel if I see an item, to help keep it from crashing. I pick it up and drop it off in the casino. So that way the game doesn't have to remember every location and where what items are. They are all in my base, though it sure takes forever to do one single mission
That's rad, I feel lucky because I was looking for this specific armor. Big thanks!
Nice for my Prospector bulid, a decent armor for the most of the game while i sell everything i find
Thank you for the fresh start I’m new to new Vegas and it’s 2023 😅 so this helps!
Just saying, you can cut through the ncr camp and up the hill to the playground by sticking to the cliff on the right side. Just saves a few extra minutes, but it's a nice shortcut
Best game I’ve ever played. Best quick tips channel for that game 🙏
saving this for a future playthrough, thank you
Doing a randomizer run and killed a power ganger at the start who was wearing the elite riot armor. Life felt perfect, especially after Malcolm Holmes talked to me while wearing the sierra scorched power armor. Just need the training now
I never ever ever ever like videos.
Today, that changed. 🎉
Bro a menace going into a level 25 dlc at lv 1 😂
Bro why can't I can't enter lonesome road even tho I got every single dlc 💀💀😭
When you first open the game and get the little pop up window click on “data files” and see if the checkbox next to “lonesome road” is checked it could be that the file is not enabled.
@mattseller148 oh ok
If you go down into the armory in Hopeville you will find two sets of riot gear in the lockers, or at least I did at lvl 40, but this is another way to get it faster
"Barter is a garbage stat", literally the stat that would make getting this armour way easier.
You can use the nail gun to kill things here at level 1 and make it to the other side. Get password to armory on the other side and get a free one. You just need to buy some nails in the commissary
A fav of mine is to grab that.
4:42 Turned gay like nothin' happened.
Barter is great till 70, then useless.
Packrat is God-tier on Hardcore and can easily grant more carry weight than Strong back.
Ammo weight is no joke, also grabbing the spiked nuckles from Prim helps big time with low level Lonesome road.
Was fun seeing someone doing the goofball shit I do in FONV
Dynamite does a surprisingly lot of damage to sentry bots. I'm pretty sure you can do like, 2 hits and you blow the damn thing in half
you can also find a dead body further in with the armor to, thought you do have to avoid or kill marked men to get it lol
Thank you for this. I knew it was there, but it never occurred to me to actually go get it; just slipped my mind. I love the barter skill; it keeps me from having to scrounge and loot and waste my time gambling. most people play NV to min/max; but considering that on the hardest level, it's a breeze; why bother.
Just get to 10 mins frobro! Take the midroll it's fine ❤️
My usual courier is a house toadie so I give him high barter it doesn't matter that you naturally pick up loads of caps I NEED THEM ALL
arrives in divide, scavenge one area, bought the riot gear, refuses to elaborate, leave
“Didn’t use any sprint mods” proceeds to run 2x faster than normal
I take barter points for dialogue options usual, at this point I’ve stopped putting points in speech on any character
100 barter gets you a peaceful Kings/NCR/House result and a House/NCR alliance, long haul is a good perk too
I always did this on ultimate edition. I would try to get to the police station in hopeville first thing. You're set on gear and money after that
Uhhh Barter is amazing it’s like speech but it doesn’t make half the content trivial. 10/10 would recommend if yo’ve gotten to a point where you don’t need to min/max to survive.
I'm just starting NV again and I plan on doing this.
Question; What happens to ED-E when you go back to the Mojave? I would guess he stays in LR until I come back.
The ED-E in LR and Mojave are two separate conciousnesses. That share memories.
The way I always used to do this was doing the Primm quest and then breaking the bank at their casino. I tended to run high luck anyways cause I love crits but yeah
I bought honest hearts to try and zoom for the armor. Ended up loving the dlc. Went in lvl 2 left lvl 15
I also enjoyed coming in around lvl 5 to 14 and getting the advanced riot gear off the highway sniper. Then noping the fuck outta there lol
Going to SLOAN to get that sweet stash of caps would help a lot here.
I remember accidentally selling my "new awesome armor" once and having to buy back for at least double. Nothing like my first playthrough, NV was my first Fallout and I never played a game like that before. I fucked up so much my first time, mostly trying to do the "right thing" but I mostly just stumbled my way through the entire game not ever sure if I made the right choice. Oh and I accidentally sacrificed Cass, that one stuck, good times.
Look forward to redownload in fallout New Vegas and giving this a test
Brilliant! I stupidly didn't buy the ultimate edition with all the dlc stuff. But I will do this for my 2nd profile run.
1.) I play hardcore so i normally get barter to 70 or so at some point for the half weight of ammo and other small items.
2.) I like to pop into lonesome road at the start of a run so ED-E gets his weapon repair and ammo crafting upgrades.
if I'm feeling spunky I get the sturdy caravan shotgun some pulse slugs from the mojave outpost and clear thru to the marked men and try and snag a sniper rifle from their corpses.
Don't really see the point in the armor, its expensive and no way to repair it, the commisary with its 6000 cap limit and refreshing every time it goes under 150 is worth while though.
I *think* you might go in there and grab the nail gun, because the nail gun is WORTHLESS For lonesome road. but maybe useful at the start of the game.
if you get the pulse slugs you can loot alot more of the base at least.
I pretty much always grab some junk from lonesome road early, once I grabbed the red glare in an expensive only play through
U gotta specify in the title that it’s a dlc bruh
womp womp
Who is playing it in 2024 without the dlc....
Sounds like a you problem
@@werebear3408 plz shut up u annoying snob
@@werebear3408while not wrong he still has a point ,granted the ult edition is 6 dollars 😂
I outfitted all the companions with riot gear now I have a squad of NCR rangers at my penthouse 😌
I just do it the normal way and never start Lonesome Road until I’m level 50 and did literally everything else in the Mojave and the other DLCs up until the battle at the dam. It pays well to start Lonesome Road prepared. Makes it a whole lot easier. You get rich either way, too, in the end. *laughs as a pro and longtimer of the series* 😆👌😎
i'll have to do this in my next fully modded playthrough.
I'm pretty sure there's a large heap of caps inside one of the houses Deathclaw Junction
That was super duper, I really enjoyed this
This TF2 and BF4 will always be legacy games with no end
I wish I could join the raiders at level 1. Not just best raiders (the legion), but also any raiders (fiends, jackals, vipers). Also have the prospector and wastelander factions. Be able to become a ghoul (which was foreshadowed in fallout 3).
>NCR drinks a lot of coca-cola
>NCR has ghouls at higher ranks.
Barter is so under-appreciated in this game.
Love your vids man keep it up!!
Barter isnt a dump stat if you play JSawyer like you're supposed to.
Im enjoying these longer videos
Yo, the fact that you didn’t use any mods of any sort makes me like and subscribe any other video that does use mods I dislike
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a good amount of loot hidden away on the short path from entering the Lonesome Road and entering the silo? I think I remember some stuff being up those overturned poles
Confirmed Bachelor Pog
With all the junk accessable in the canyon segment at the opening you probably could do this at level 1
Thank God somebody else looks at bottles and just sees money lol
@ 5:48 you could use the archwelder to fight the bot? good vs robots
The fact that the ELITE riot gear armor is easier to get and much stronger is strange
The devs should have put some Deathclaws around the entrance to LR so people couldn't cheese it early on.
Why
Well thats lucky, I just started playing fnv again after a couple months and this vid drops
Whar mod is that container opening ? I NEED THAT pls someone help
I always max my speech and barter before anything else
