Arcade is a really fun support unit to play as everyone is happy to gain health back and there is usually a long wait in line. Be careful though, he can't take a hit, not even with a bouquet of spring flowers! On the flip side, Marcus is an absolute Godzilla in close; it's clobbering time!
They're my favs too! You can get the New Vegas companions on the Modiphius UK store, but the US store still doesn't have their stock in. There's an Amazon link in the description if you want to avoid the pricey UK shipping ;)
I'm willing to bet pairing the courier with the burned man is a good idea with the companion perk as both are really tough to take down so the perk is strong with both of them
Question about the Burned Man. You say he's not apart of any faction. Does that mean he can technically be used in any list in battle mode since he's not apart of one?
Good question! Battle mode is a bit of an odd beast. Only units listed on a faction's battle mode-specific roster can be included on lists. Burned Man is on both the survivors and th legion list, but no others, so can only be on those two lists. In narrative mode, you can add him to whatever force you wish!
Question: when you use Veronica, would she get the benefits of both the Survivor & BoS Faction cards, or just from the card that the Leader is from in any given game?
Great question! Units can only ever benefit from the Faction bonus of their Leader, and need to share the same faction keyword with them. So If your leader is a Survivor, she'll get the Survivor bonus. If the leader is BoS, she has to play by BoS rules. They don't have a faction bonus per say, but they have some restrictions
The model is only avilable online (promo NCR Ranger) and the unit card is in the New Vegas expansion pack. Here's the link to the model:modiphius.us/products/fallout-wasteland-warfare-ncr-promo-ncr-ranger?_pos=1&_sid=08bb1690e&_ss=r
War Games News Radio but you can get Courier models in both the NCR core box and the Veterans box? Sure, it’s not the promo figure, but it’s still the same guy.
I used the Courier in an introduction game two days ago and gave him an Anti-Material Rifle and companioned him with Fawkes (of course with his Gatling laser). Dude is DEADLY.
Again, were is the Powerarmor? For example if you put Arcade in a X-01 Powerarmor(x-01 as it is similar to his own Powerarmor in New vegas) he becomes a real tank. Also his melee skill get up to a 6. If you get the Powerarmor mod with +1 Str on it to he becomes realy scary. Also Veronica is much more save in a T-51, as even if it breaks she now has 3 3 4 Armor as her base energy armor is higer than of the T-51
True enough, but that goes for every unit when they put on PA! I did a (quick) review of most suits in my BoS review, but I'll be doing a full PA play-by-play sooner than later :)
@@WarGamesNewsRadio but some units like Arcade change more than other units. You also show what other items are usefull for certain units, but why not Powerarmor or just normal Armor, like Arcade is also fine in a heavy combat armor.
@@grimgrauman7650 You're not wrong! Some units are for sure better buffed than others in PA. Short answer why I don’t do more item / unit combos in the breakdowns? It's time vs. bandwidth vs. item count. But you make a good argument - I'll try and add more juice for the power armour crowd down the line!
We just had a game last saturday with most of these units in my team, I found that Boone and Raul are absolute beasts. Nice video!
Many thanks! Boone is a bad mama-jamma with those crits on the hunting rifle. And Raul might be one of my low-key favs!

What's your favorite New Vegas unit? Leave a comment and let me know which units you love, and which ones you love to hate!
From playing the video game, Veronica, ED-E, Rex and Cass are my favorites. Can't wait until the mini's are released.
They're my favs too! You can get the New Vegas companions on the Modiphius UK store, but the US store still doesn't have their stock in. There's an Amazon link in the description if you want to avoid the pricey UK shipping ;)
Unless the app is incorrect, The Courier is also available to the Brotherhood of Steel as well. Nice overview!
Good catch - the Courier can indeed play triple (quadruple?) duty on Survivor, Legion, NCR, and BoS battle mode lists!
Great work, as always! Thanks for all your hard work.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching :)

Marcus is actually roundabout 15-18 caps cheaper than the 130 caps you mentioned as he brings his melee weapon along straight away
Right you are! Forgot to take the punch cost out - good eye!

@@WarGamesNewsRadio alright sweet! Thanks Ryan
Great Video Ryan!
Many thanks, Dan!
Oh Ed-e gets the strong armor. Unique survivor
Correct! All the unique NV Survivors get the standard faction strong armour bonus

Where do you get the courier?
