For the Agent 47 run, you should use any and all contextual kills you can. Things like Caesar's surgery, the barrels at Cottonwood Cove, and injured people on cots
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a cowboy? For this run you would have to wear only clothing, use cowboy revolvers, repeaters, knives, and dynamite. Since the wild west was so dangerous and deadly you would have to have your endurance set to one and play on the hardest difficulty!
It's the ultimate metal gear reference, making the metal gear reference video, longer than THE metal gear video. Turns out there's a 4 hour long video on metal gear... The more you know.
Check the stats. Maria with 100 guns ((which Benny doesn’t even have)) vs level one endurance 1 courier, Two critical hit headshots is just not enough. He says it himself “serves me for using a nine mil”
Yeah it kinda opened the flood gates, despite how much of a time investment that video was (to make and to watch) it's still the most fun I have ever had making something :)
@@Nerbit13098 If I am ever in doubt on what to watch I will watch that video it was really well made and entertaining through. You killed it on that video m8.
It's awful, since I saw that video I've tried to understand the full plot of the Metal Gear series and now I can't discuss them without sounding like a full conspiracy theorist
Jabo, VNG Gaming also did something like this plus the dlc's if you want to see what he did. It was a little different with him not being detected at all for any of his videos
Almost didn’t see this video. Also, the weathered 10mm is one of the few, if not only, unique weapon that can take it’s common variant’s mods, and the base 10mm has a silencer.
Yeah I was never able to find the 10mm silencer funny enough, didn't bring it up as I felt like it would be repetitive what with me talking about how I was already looking for the scope for the hunting rifle and the suppressor for the anti-material rifle
Something to be aware of for the eventual 47 run - it is possible to sneak into the Brotherhood bunker. You *just* need to complete the For Auld Land Syne quest and get Power Armor training from the Remnants, then find one of the fallen patrols and don their Power Armor as a disguise. You'll get unique dialog upon interacting with the intercom.
FYI if you ever do another Snake run: You can probably get his look more-or-less down with Jessup's bandana, and either Stealth Suit, the Dead Money assassin armor, the recon armor, or Christine's black recon armor.
There's a mod for Fallout 4 that replaces the Marine wetsuit with Snake's outfit in MGS4. Maybe someone could figure out a way to make a version of that mod but for New Vegas?
The Time Bomb is actually a hilariously good "stealth" weapon for taking out groups of initially neutral NPC's. As long as you remain hidden when it goes off after its long 30s fuse it counts as an undetected sneak attack. C4 works even better as you can detonate it at will from a hidden position, but has less explosive oomph.
Suggestion for a character/historical figure run: “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as general Douglas MacArthur?” A bit of context: MacArthur was a US general who was famously fired during the Korean War after he revealed that his plan to win the war was to launch a massive tactical nuke attack at the border between the Korean Peninsula and China. His idea was to turn the area into a wasteland to prevent troops and aid to make it to the peninsula. Basically this would be a Fat Man focus run. That’s why I suggested New Vegas BTW, as the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC let’s you buy different types of mini nukes. Hopefully this helps to make the challenge more than a pacifist run with extra steps, plus the variety of explosions might help to make the experience less repetitive, and maybe even tactical as each type of mini nuke have different aspects. Also because this is a character run, you should know that despite his willingness to use nukes MacArthur only carried a .32 semi automatic pocket pistol (apparently for him the solution for most problems was either an scalpel or a chainsaw). The only .32 pistol in New Vegas is the Police Pistol from the Dead Money DLC, the problem is that’s a revolver not a semi automatic pistol, however any other relatively small numbers I still should do the trick. Whatever the case, the small pistol should be useful at the beginning of the run and for killing anything that might have survived a mini nuke. As for the look? The best I can think of is to somehow get all of general Oliver’s clothes (boots and cap included) and complement it with some massive sunglasses and a smoking pipe, though for that last one anything relatively close to it should do the trick.
For the Agent 47 Run, if it ever happens, I would like to suggest another little rule Basically, if there is a unique interaction to kill someone, you have to do your best to do it So like killing Caesar in surgery Spiking Pacer's Jet Sabotaging the Ghoul Rocket Any character who can die I'm such a way, has to be killed.
I talk about your run near the end of the video lol. You'll get your proper shout out once I get round to it, it sounds like a super fun idea and I want to give it the time and effort it deserves :)

That's impossible since you have to confront Alduin to finish the story. Miraak talks a big game but when the chips were down he didn't fuck with the world eater.
The varmint rifle is my favorite gun in NV. In survival mode, it's easier to just get the Ratslayer as soon as possible. Yes I play stealth archer in Skyrim.
its about 150, some of those have already been done mind you, but I add new ones to it every few days if something pops into my head or I see a good suggestion in the comments
If I'm not mistaken, you can find two hunting rifles in Novac, one in Cliff's bungalow, and one in Ranger Andy's. There's also another one with some ammo outside of Boulder City at the train stop, near a skeleton trapped under a boxcar. It really feels like the devs wanted you to have a hunting rifle and plenty of ammo for it at that point in the game, especially considering all the boxes of ammo in Helios One.
What bugs me about the entire brotherhood being alerted every time one dies is that they didn't use to. Don't know if it was intentional but it got patched in at some point. I know cuz I use to wipe them out, leave the bunker intact so that when they respawned I had a good farm for stuff to sell for caps.
I've always just kind of pretended that the Brotherhood of Steel seems like the kind of group that would be smart enough to do what I have particularly cunning guards do when I run Cyberpunk or Shadowrun tabletops- Have a tacnet that, in addition to real time communications, tracks every members vital signs through a monitoring system and raises the alarm if someone's heart suddenly stops beating.
NEVER underestimate the Varmint Rifle! In every normal playthrough, my 2 weapons of choice are the Ratslayer and Knock-Knock. With the Ratslayer, I can single shot Deathclaws! Not a weapon to pass up! With these 2 weapons, I can start and beat Lonesome Road as soon as I get these 2. I typically start Lonesome Road around level 4-7 on Normal and it's damn near effortless.
Finally! I love the idea of no one knowing who the courier is because no one's ever seen them! The entire wasteland just gets upheaved by someone who doesn't exist
An Agent 47 run sounds really fun to try out. Although, I guess choosing the exact ruleset would be a bit tricky. It probably makes the most sense to allow for 47's full arsenal of skills. Disguises and deception, 45.pistol, sniping, staging accidents (I mean, Yes Man throwing General Oliver off the dam fits right in). The "Silent Assassin" ruleset could also be adapted into such a run (bar the hiding the bodies part). I'm sure you will figure out a satisfying ruleset. Looking forward to seeing whatever ideas you have in store!
When you do the bottle tutorial with Sunny, drop your ammo on the ground. Sunny will give you more once if you’re all out. Then you can pick it back up.
Here’s an idea for a challenge. “Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas with every unique weapon?” You have to own every unique weapon it’s possible to get in a single playthrough, you can only kill with unique weapons, and you must use each unique weapon to get at least one kill. Some of them are very hard to get, such as Mercy. Plus, you’ll need a lot of caps.
Challenge idea Can you beat fallout 4 as a sailor/harbor man. The idea being effectively you only use the broadsider and harpoon launcher as your weapons with your only armor being things like the harborman clothes, fishing hat, sea captains hat, ect. Sub challenge ideas being you try to get the armor from the mariner (I think it’s called scourge of the sea) for finishing all her side quests and complete the captains dance so you can get the captains hat.
It's a good thing you didn't call this, "Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas As Solid Snake", or, "Can You Play Fallout: New Vegas As A Metal Gear Game", because if you did, you'd automatically fail the run; you'd be creating a paradox by saying, "War never changes" and "War has changed" simultaneously (and we all know how Colonel Campbell gets when you cause a paradox).
I've picked up this game today after many years thanks to your video: I always thought I didn't have many other things to try in NV but I just started a sneaky based character and I think I'm gonna enjoy it. Closed the game after a 3 hour session just to find this. Nice
Can You beat fallout as Peter Griffin (Any fallout game you can pick) 1 intelligence, you must be addicted to alcohol, wear glasses and the closest thing you can find to peter, only use unhealthy food and drink as healing items, apart from energy weapons you can basically use anything as peter is a cartoon character and has used many MANY weapons before
The Ratslayer was my main weapon my first run. Since it has a ridiculous 5X critical chance, with the right perks and equipment you can get 100% crits even without stealth.
I love how there's so many points in this run where Nerbit just starts... Playing New Vegas (i.e. his Bighorn hunting adventures). Really speaks to the quality of the game.
Do you like Nerbit? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Can You Beat New Vegas while being chased by Private Kowalski came out in '21, I think he really came into his own, creatively and imaginatively The whole video has a clear, concise direction, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the humor a big boost. He's been compared to Mitten Squad, but I think Nerbit has a far less bitter, cynical sense of humor. Later in '21, Nerbit released this, Fallout as Abraham Lincoln, his most accomplished idea. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "Can You Beat Fallout 4 as Abraham Lincoln", a video so enjoyable, most people probably don't listen to his script. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of imitation, and the importance of beating slavers into submission, it's also a personal statement about Nerbit himself.
The ghost of the Mojave. Nobody’s seen it, but there have been glimpses. A sound here or there. Nothing provable. Took over the Mojave without anyone noticing
Can you beat Fallout 4 as a Russian Spy? Weapons: Handmade Rifle(Its an AK) The deliverer (it's a Walter pph which is what the Makarov copied) Molotovs(weaponized Vodka) Fists Armor: Submariner Uniform Gasmask with goggles Ushanka (you will need a mod to wear both head accessories) Tasks: Help the Bobrov brothers Help your fellow Soviet in the sub ALWAYS have the effects of vodka Play with russian voice acting(optional) When it's an option nuke it.
Solid Nerbit, hunting for some revenge on the Mojave. Chalenge idea, can you finish TES V - Skyrim as a Witcher? rules(kinda optional): -may have an iron or steel weapon to kill humans, "nonhumans"( elfs, orcs, argonians and khajiit) and animals and a silver sword to kill monsters,undeads and magical beings -may only use flames, ward and "charm" spells (shouts are ok, consider them a mutation) -must make your own potions -must do at least 1 sidequest to kill a specific monster/undead/magical being ps:i think its fair to have a crossbow for whatever reason
I just did a Hardcore Legion playthrough in one "sitting" (it crashed multiple times) while achievement grinding. I have you and Jarbo to thank for inspiring me to take upon this utter madness i have descended into. 😂😂😂😢
the bug with the clothes at around 11 minutes is actually insanely infuriating, it happens with some leather armor that has a bandana on your neack (forgot the name, too lazy to look it up) while you're holding the .357 revolver... you can tell what run I was attempting, and it was a huge bummer, like the bottom third of my screen was covered by the bandana
i always love these challenges and i can say that you are among a small handful of people who i actually look forward to seeing post and eagerly watching it. the shenanigans are always loved. keep up the great work man.
Bro I was about to comment something supportive like and that I enjoyed your videos but that ratslayer 3am realization made me chuckle and completely froze my brain for a few minutes on what I was going to say.
The Powder Gangers actually don't attack you on sight if you have the Shunned reputation, which you obtained by not attacking any of them in Goodsprings. Still, I'm guessing you would have attacked them anyway for the XP, but just a handy thing to know
Love these videos, great work Nerbit! Here's a challange for you: Can you beat Fallout 4 as Naked Snake/Big Boss Rules: 1. Side with railroad 2. Wear some form of a sneaking Suit (mods are ok) 3. Have max strength and max ability by the end of the game 4. Try and stay in character as Big Boss as best you can Optional: rebuild the Minutemen as a new Diamond Dogs/ MSF and raid Gunners Plaza Lore cause lore is fun The events of MGS4 never happen, and Big Boss is trapped asleep by the Patriots for centuries, who fail to stop nuclear war. Finally waking up in a Patriot Vault, Big Boss learns that an addional clone was made, this time of Major Zero. Seeking to end the patriots once and for all, Big Boss enters the wasteland to deal with Sons of the Patriots (Institute)
I saw a video where VNG gaming apparently managed a 'no detection' run, where if he was detected by anyone, even random people and animals, he had to reload. As you can talk to yes man and buy stuff from the gun runners while sneaking, as you can't pickpocket robots, and use a stealthboy to avoid being detected while doing so. Not to mention that just because many AI are scripted to talk to you, doesn't mean they necessarily will detect you, like the casino greeters for example.
With the Kahn asking if there was anyone there I had the same type of experience in Oblivion where I stepped into the light and got seen by an enemy so I stepped one step back and somehow lost the aggro and as always your video makes my Saturdays always enjoyable
Three video ideas: CYB F4 as SSnake, shadowed leather armor and black bandana only for armor and deliverer suppressed as your only weapon. No vats. CYB F3,NV,F4 as a DND Barbarian. Disable sneaking, grognak armor, sledge, 10 str 1 intelligence. CYB F3 as a drone cannon. Metal armor and helmet, and only the drone cannon (grenade launcher version) as your weapon. I think there's a drill version, but I think the GL would be harder since you can melee every enemy. I think vats works semi normally. But if I'm not mistaken there's only like 800 rounds in the whole game for it and it can only be repaired by merchants.
Can you beat Fallout 4 with only the mysterious stranger killing enemies and the water gun from Nuka World to trigger him (He only has a chance to spawn at your last shot in VATS so the water gun is a compromise here.) Attempt 5 at suggesting this
Awesome Video, the Metal Gear music in the background was a nice touch, recently came across you content a few weeks ago and I am hooked, keep up the awesome work, PS, love the Metal Gear content one of my fav game series
For the Agent 47 video, there should be an extra objective that if a character can die as a result of a scripted event or speech check, you MUST kill them that way. Things like Caesar dying on the operating table, luring Jeanie May to the front of the Dinosaur, and assassinating Kimball with one of the skill check methods rather than combat.
My runs are usually stealth based and I love clearing out every Legion location before getting to the strip and still being neutral... But Ceasar still knows somehow.
Ah such fun memories, used the silenced 22 pistol for clearing out the Bison Steve and it was certainly fun doing it. That gun is quite strong as you sneak effectively enough to get that bonus from it.
For the record, you picked the right title. As someone who isn't a huge fallout player and has only been playing it seriously very recently, it only took me a few seconds to realize what you were talking about. I'm sure more frequent players would know instantly. Also, it's the term used in the actual game. So it makes sense.
Challenge idea: Can you beat F4 as among us? Premise: You must obtain all Synth Components in NPCS inventory as you play through the game, eliminating all of those you deem "sus".
Didn't think I'd see a video like this. I remember recommending this to you after seeing VGN Gaming do this (plus did the dlcs). His videos were really good
For the Agent 47 run, you should use any and all contextual kills you can. Things like Caesar's surgery, the barrels at Cottonwood Cove, and injured people on cots
Ooo does this include the one rich kid for the white glove society? The one you can Vulcan nerve pinch, not the one in the freezer.
You do get to put him in a dumpster, very on-brand.
Nerbit could try to use environmental explosives too like them fire extinguisher-looking things

It’s all that Metal Gear coming back to roost.
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a cowboy? For this run you would have to wear only clothing, use cowboy revolvers, repeaters, knives, and dynamite.
Since the wild west was so dangerous and deadly you would have to have your endurance set to one and play on the hardest difficulty!

And disguises
And if there is access to one, a modded in suitcase. I'll let you guess why.

Ty Nerbit :))
You should've named the video "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas Without the Rat Slayer" to cover all your bases lol
When you do the bottle tutorial with Sunny, drop your ammo on the ground. Sunny will give you more once if you’re all out. Then you can pick it back up.
You also can just walk up to the bottles and shoot them point blank. She doesn’t care
Here’s an idea for a challenge. “Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas with every unique weapon?”
You have to own every unique weapon it’s possible to get in a single playthrough, you can only kill with unique weapons, and you must use each unique weapon to get at least one kill.
Some of them are very hard to get, such as Mercy. Plus, you’ll need a lot of caps.
Challenge idea
Can you beat fallout 4 as a sailor/harbor man.
The idea being effectively you only use the broadsider and harpoon launcher as your weapons with your only armor being things like the harborman clothes, fishing hat, sea captains hat, ect.
Sub challenge ideas being you try to get the armor from the mariner (I think it’s called scourge of the sea) for finishing all her side quests and complete the captains dance so you can get the captains hat.
It's a good thing you didn't call this, "Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas As Solid Snake", or, "Can You Play Fallout: New Vegas As A Metal Gear Game", because if you did, you'd automatically fail the run; you'd be creating a paradox by saying, "War never changes" and "War has changed" simultaneously (and we all know how Colonel Campbell gets when you cause a paradox).
Sneak skills seems to work much better for you than it ever does for me. I can have it completely maxed out and I'm still almost immediately detected.
I think agility plays a factor into it as well as had mine at 10 this run if you count the outfits I was wearing giving me a +1 bonus to the stat
@@Nerbit13098 according to what I've read online, the agility stat should only matter as far as it boosts your stealth skill.
Sneak in New Vegas is apparently affected by your level and the enemy's level, so that be factoring into it.
"Can you beat fallout nv as Solid Snake?" Be a title xD though you'd need the khan's headband in boulder city
I've picked up this game today after many years thanks to your video: I always thought I didn't have many other things to try in NV but I just started a sneaky based character and I think I'm gonna enjoy it. Closed the game after a 3 hour session just to find this. Nice
Can You beat fallout as Peter Griffin (Any fallout game you can pick)
1 intelligence, you must be addicted to alcohol, wear glasses and the closest thing you can find to peter, only use unhealthy food and drink as healing items, apart from energy weapons you can basically use anything as peter is a cartoon character and has used many MANY weapons before
The Ratslayer was my main weapon my first run. Since it has a ridiculous 5X critical chance, with the right perks and equipment you can get 100% crits even without stealth.
I love how there's so many points in this run where Nerbit just starts... Playing New Vegas (i.e. his Bighorn hunting adventures). Really speaks to the quality of the game.
Happy Friday Nerbit and Lads
I just started watching you not even a week ago. I have binged a lot of you fallout challenge videos. I highly enjoy them, keep ‘em’ coming!
Do you like Nerbit? His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Can You Beat New Vegas while being chased by Private Kowalski came out in '21, I think he really came into his own, creatively and imaginatively The whole video has a clear, concise direction, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the humor a big boost. He's been compared to Mitten Squad, but I think Nerbit has a far less bitter, cynical sense of humor. Later in '21, Nerbit released this, Fallout as Abraham Lincoln, his most accomplished idea. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "Can You Beat Fallout 4 as Abraham Lincoln", a video so enjoyable, most people probably don't listen to his script. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of imitation, and the importance of beating slavers into submission, it's also a personal statement about Nerbit himself.
Fallout New Vegas with only coin shot. It’s a shotgun ammo made with legion coins. You can Gamble at the casinos.
Oh god Nerb, forgetting the ratslayer. You silly goose!
Yeah, that's me. Goose
@@Nerbit13098 honk honk you silly bastard!
The ghost of the Mojave. Nobody’s seen it, but there have been glimpses. A sound here or there. Nothing provable. Took over the Mojave without anyone noticing
One thing I like about these runs is it makes me want to play new vegas and try one of the runs.
Truly a different game playing it as a kill everyone run lol
Can you beat Fallout 4 as a Russian Spy?
Weapons:
Handmade Rifle(Its an AK)
The deliverer (it's a Walter pph which is what the Makarov copied)
Molotovs(weaponized Vodka)
Fists
Armor:
Submariner Uniform
Gasmask with goggles
Ushanka (you will need a mod to wear both head accessories)
Tasks:
Help the Bobrov brothers
Help your fellow Soviet in the sub
ALWAYS have the effects of vodka
Play with russian voice acting(optional)
When it's an option nuke it.
You should’ve used the Nellis Tunnel South to get to the Boomers, it might require 100 Lock picking, but it’s much more thematic for infiltration.
Solid Nerbit, hunting for some revenge on the Mojave.
Chalenge idea, can you finish TES V - Skyrim as a Witcher?
rules(kinda optional):
-may have an iron or steel weapon to kill humans, "nonhumans"( elfs, orcs, argonians and khajiit) and animals and a silver sword to kill monsters,undeads and magical beings
-may only use flames, ward and "charm" spells (shouts are ok, consider them a mutation)
-must make your own potions
-must do at least 1 sidequest to kill a specific monster/undead/magical being
ps:i think its fair to have a crossbow for whatever reason
-Need to do Dawnguard siding with titular faction
I just did a Hardcore Legion playthrough in one "sitting" (it crashed multiple times) while achievement grinding. I have you and Jarbo to thank for inspiring me to take upon this utter madness i have descended into. 😂😂😂😢
I like the subtle music I’m the background now. Keep the good content coming
Sneak is so OP in this game, especially with all the sneak and crit related perks.
Impossible challenge but prove me wrong. Get pew pew without Malcolm Holmes talking to you.
the bug with the clothes at around 11 minutes is actually insanely infuriating, it happens with some leather armor that has a bandana on your neack (forgot the name, too lazy to look it up) while you're holding the .357 revolver... you can tell what run I was attempting, and it was a huge bummer, like the bottom third of my screen was covered by the bandana
12:44 must've been the wind
Seeing nerbit making a stealth run makes you wish for a nuclear dishonored challenge
i always love these challenges and i can say that you are among a small handful of people who i actually look forward to seeing post and eagerly watching it. the shenanigans are always loved. keep up the great work man.
Challenge Idea: Can you beat Fallout 4 as James Bond?
Bro I was about to comment something supportive like and that I enjoyed your videos but that ratslayer 3am realization made me chuckle and completely froze my brain for a few minutes on what I was going to say.
The Powder Gangers actually don't attack you on sight if you have the Shunned reputation, which you obtained by not attacking any of them in Goodsprings. Still, I'm guessing you would have attacked them anyway for the XP, but just a handy thing to know
Amazing! Mission Complete. That right there is why you’re the best, Courier!
Can you do this in fallout 4?? That would be great to see! Amazing video Nerbit!
Love these videos, great work Nerbit!
Here's a challange for you:
Can you beat Fallout 4 as Naked Snake/Big Boss
Rules:
1. Side with railroad
2. Wear some form of a sneaking Suit (mods are ok)
3. Have max strength and max ability by the end of the game
4. Try and stay in character as Big Boss as best you can
Optional: rebuild the Minutemen as a new Diamond Dogs/ MSF and raid Gunners Plaza
Lore cause lore is fun
The events of MGS4 never happen, and Big Boss is trapped asleep by the Patriots for centuries, who fail to stop nuclear war. Finally waking up in a Patriot Vault, Big Boss learns that an addional clone was made, this time of Major Zero. Seeking to end the patriots once and for all, Big Boss enters the wasteland to deal with Sons of the Patriots (Institute)
I saw a video where VNG gaming apparently managed a 'no detection' run, where if he was detected by anyone, even random people and animals, he had to reload. As you can talk to yes man and buy stuff from the gun runners while sneaking, as you can't pickpocket robots, and use a stealthboy to avoid being detected while doing so. Not to mention that just because many AI are scripted to talk to you, doesn't mean they necessarily will detect you, like the casino greeters for example.
With the Kahn asking if there was anyone there I had the same type of experience in Oblivion where I stepped into the light and got seen by an enemy so I stepped one step back and somehow lost the aggro and as always your video makes my Saturdays always enjoyable
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as an exterminator?
What does that mean?
Yes, he's done a genocide video
Three video ideas: CYB F4 as SSnake, shadowed leather armor and black bandana only for armor and deliverer suppressed as your only weapon. No vats.
CYB F3,NV,F4 as a DND Barbarian. Disable sneaking, grognak armor, sledge, 10 str 1 intelligence.
CYB F3 as a drone cannon. Metal armor and helmet, and only the drone cannon (grenade launcher version) as your weapon. I think there's a drill version, but I think the GL would be harder since you can melee every enemy. I think vats works semi normally. But if I'm not mistaken there's only like 800 rounds in the whole game for it and it can only be repaired by merchants.
Can you beat Fallout 4 with only the mysterious stranger killing enemies and the water gun from Nuka World to trigger him (He only has a chance to spawn at your last shot in VATS so the water gun is a compromise here.)
Attempt 5 at suggesting this
Awesome Video, the Metal Gear music in the background was a nice touch, recently came across you content a few weeks ago and I am hooked, keep up the awesome work, PS, love the Metal Gear content one of my fav game series
pog
Absolutely
@Nerbit oh my god its nerbit
Love how every Friday I get to kickback relax eat my chippy and watch THE best videos on RUclips!!! Thank you dude you’re a legend
Is this a fr or an ong moment?
ong
For the Agent 47 video, there should be an extra objective that if a character can die as a result of a scripted event or speech check, you MUST kill them that way. Things like Caesar dying on the operating table, luring Jeanie May to the front of the Dinosaur, and assassinating Kimball with one of the skill check methods rather than combat.
Nerbit drop 2

Fallout: War never changes
Metal Gear: War has changed
Ok so the answer is no you cant
My runs are usually stealth based and I love clearing out every Legion location before getting to the strip and still being neutral... But Ceasar still knows somehow.
Ah such fun memories, used the silenced 22 pistol for clearing out the Bison Steve and it was certainly fun doing it. That gun is quite strong as you sneak effectively enough to get that bonus from it.
For the record, you picked the right title. As someone who isn't a huge fallout player and has only been playing it seriously very recently, it only took me a few seconds to realize what you were talking about. I'm sure more frequent players would know instantly. Also, it's the term used in the actual game. So it makes sense.
Nerbit: Kills Lorenzo with mister sandman perk
Also Nerbit, just a bit later: I sadly couldn't kill anyone with the mister sandman perk
Challenge idea: Can you beat F4 as among us? Premise: You must obtain all Synth Components in NPCS inventory as you play through the game, eliminating all of those you deem "sus".
Didn't think I'd see a video like this. I remember recommending this to you after seeing VGN Gaming do this (plus did the dlcs). His videos were really good
Oh yeah, i'm definitely looking forward to the "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Agent 47" video! Really love Hitman, so this is gonna be perfect.
Ratslayer uses 5.56 ammo. So yeah it's going to be a good weapon regardless.
I just finished playing a bunch of smash bros as Snake like ten minutes ago and I see this. perfectly timed coincidence
This was uploaded on my birthday, thanks Nerbit you have inspired me to do more challenge runs in Bethesda games
I am a little surprised you didn’t end up using the 10 mm sub machine gun variant “Sleepytime”.
