one of the omertà thugs always carried a riot shotgun in one of the backrooms when your doing the mob boss quests... haven't played NV in years ( I want to tho) and remember that being the most consistent way of getting one
I would always avoid it and just sell it but next time I’ll give it a fair go. At least til level six at which point I’ll just sell it. 😂 the regular caravan shotgun looks a lot more appealing to me in the long run. I never really gave that one a fair shake but it’s ok. I just wish the sights weren’t so awful. 🤮
Doesn’t work with and stay back, and honestly I prefer the single shotgun. It’s the most accurate base shotgun. Only thing more accurate is hunting shotgun with choke
If you go into 3rd person ads then zoom back in it will overlay the crosshair over your iron sights if you do this on the caravan shotgun its under the screw head on the cowboy repeater its to the top right of the front sight so if you keep missing with a weapon try this i have to do it every time i pick up the survivalist rifle to adjust to it
Dinnerbell is so flexible that i usualy make a effort to get it as soon as possible. I have gotten pretty good on finding the eggs fairly early in the game. Its also really fun to snipe long distance enemys with the hunting shotguns. They have almost sniper rifle levels of effective range.
The riot shotgun might be the one of the most OP weapons in the game, but I’d argue the hunting shotgun is not at all far behind. And the lever action is damned solid as well. The rest are serviceable, but mid.
Triple aught buckshot "000" is 6, 36 caliber or 9.14mm pellets. A number three buckshot "#3" is 18, 25 caliber or 6.35mm pellets. In england they call it Triple-0 buckshot.
I’d already given up looking for a good ammo guide to know what’s good for what. These videos are pretty good as an alternative. Maybe put “ammo” in your seo.
@@robertharris6092 I'm sure it does but I'm too dumb/lazy to parse what it actually means. What's worth crafting for what enemy types. And how common are those enemy types. These are the questions the video answers for me. Especially if i'm not using the perk that shows enemy DR/DT.
Surprised you didn't mention the lever-action shotgun is affected by the Cowboy perk for an extra 25% more damage on top of everything else. Definitely pops it up into A tier for me, because it brings the damage up to Hunting Shotgun levels. Of course, nothing is as good as the Riot Shotgun, which is one of the best CQB weapons in the entire game, if not the best. If you're not into Jury Rigging perk, you can do Dead Money, one of the things you can spend those tokens on are weapon repair kits. Since you get them every three days, you effectively have unlimited repair kits and can keep this weapon in top shape. About the only guns that can really compete are either the Survivalist's Rifle from Honest Hearts, which is expensive to keep fed with 12.7mm, or Christine's CoS Sniper Rifle for stealth sniper builds.

NGL, always figured the single shotgun should’ve had the scope attachment instead of the 9 mm at the beginning of the game for an super early sniper (with slugs) (before you can afford the night vision sight for VR or go for ratslayer).
@@joolsmacgrools1288 not really, they would’ve just put the scope on the barrel when you commit to the brake action instead of the pistol, and you would use as a sniper with its higher accuracy with early game slug rounds (that you would have considering the VR would still be 22)
Right. Time for my vats-based single shotgun with a side order of tin grenades run. The same run I always do, but even more restricted on the shotgun type. I don't know what it is about guns in games, but I always, always prefer having to reload after every shot (no matter what kind of gun it is). I guess it's the timing predictability of it. In other games I've even nerfed some weapons just to be able to hold less rounds just so that they have to reload after one shot. I heard someone describe it as "tactical" and I guess that word works, sorta. The sawn-off kinda counts for that since I adore that it always fires both barrels at once, but honestly, it's a bit overpowered for my tastes so I think I'll be dropping 12-guage entirely. I want some thrill in my battles (and I don't have access to mods, being a console player). So in addition to running always with 1 endurance, be nice to take such a simple weapon right the way through to the end including all quests and DLCs. I had forgot that unlike the lever-action, it isn't boosted by the cowboy perk. Which is a shame, but ah well. I'm sure I'll still "have a blast" and "break a leg" with my very cruel ex-military animal doctor who's against the whole 'human race in control of anything' idea. :) Enjoyed your light armor video particularly too for a similar reason of it always being my go-to (I'm thinking gecko-backed leather for that, this time around).
By far the most overpowered weapon category in the game. Shotgun Surgeon, And Stay Back, the ammo variety and the absurdly powerful weapon selection make the game a breeze (even more than it already is - the game's piss easy, let's be honest) if you opt for the shotgun playstyle. With only two perks you can get insane armor penetration (with a weapon type that's only supposed to accomplish armor penetration at all with specialized rounds, mind you) and the ability to stunlock most enemies you come across. Minimum investment for absolutely insane power.
is it just me or is damage inconsistent in new vegas, or the fps fallout games as a whole. my perks and weapon stats on paper say i SHOULD do good damage but then when i try to fight enemies , is sometimes just delete their hp or just barely do damage despite scoring crits. though I'm also on very hard-hardcore difficulty as well
If you’re using shotguns in VATS with regular shot, that might be the problem. My suggestion is to only use VATS on shotguns if you’re packing slugs. The damage formula is weird in VATS; you don’t get the full benefit of multiple projectiles.
All of these videos are gonna make me play fallout new Vegas again.
Lightly modded some snacks = good weekend.
Hope that you enjoy your run! lol.
@@ReapeeRon owb early then got the unique tesla having a blast.
These videos are my small fix that lets me go without playing for longer durations.. microdosing fnv..
@@ReapeeRonokay is the damage for the shotguns all based on how many pellets the hit the target or is the damage the same for every pellet.
That explains so much about the inconsistencies I noticed with the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun.
Hunting Shotgun is my absolute favorite shotgun.
Yeah that is my favorite too!
Not making an ALOFS upgrade to the single shotgun was a huge missed opportunity. Its basically the coolest thing you can do to a gun
A what?
@necromax13 look it up on forgotten weapons. You'll love it

I know it's just the get up animation starting to play but 28:20 look so much like he's just executing a Fiend trying to crawl away from him.
Love playing new Vegas and watching these in the background!
Thanks! Glad that you have having fun with the game, and with the video.
Ah yeah another long video. Can't wait for more!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I really dont have the time to replay fnv for a 12th time. But the Mojave isn't going to get rid of the cazador menace without me..
Very true.
The first shotgun is ALWAYS the sturdy caravan shotgun 😮💨 it’s too good not to get

The Khans used lever action shotguns rather often, at least from my experience
That is true, they do have that and they can carry hunting revolvers too.
Is it weird that I have no way to even play this game again, but I still watch these?
Man I absolutely love your content
These compilations are great, Ron!.. I'm all for the longer Fallout content, whether vids or streams... keep it coming sir, thanks!
Glad you like them, and thank you very much!
Playing through NV for the first time and have been watching your videos in the background as I'm playing 👍 good general advice
Glad you enjoy it!

Appreciate it
Dude you got me replaying this and KF2 you are ruining my storage space

What’s the wild west music playing during the lever-action section?

The game tells you all the info on the ammo there is to know.

@@nataku7 theres no "enemy types" other than pulse weapons and robotr/power armor. If an enemy has high DT. Use AP. If an enemy has low/no DT use HP.

Time to rank all the armor in the game based on design and fashion appeal.
NGL, always figured the single shotgun should’ve had the scope attachment instead of the 9 mm at the beginning of the game for an super early sniper (with slugs) (before you can afford the night vision sight for VR or go for ratslayer).
That sounds kind of impractical, but damned fun!
That could be interesting. I bet there is a mod for that somewhere.

28:00 that's the super shotty style
I wouldn’t mind a fnv remaster with the fallout 4 engine
It is being made but no update for a while and it will be the base game non of the dlc.
This is a mod being made like that.

Do fallout 3 handguns!
I think I have an older tier list of all the handgun, but not like this series.

Sometimes, I think it is partly because of the spread.
