what is your favorite new vegas weapon?

[Korolev]

Of the standard guns available without DLC, "Pew Pew" was the best for me. Tons of energy weapon ammo and laser pistols + jury rigging meant that you could always repair it and have enough ammo to blast your way out of anything.

Out of ALL available weapons, including DLC weapons, I really, REALLY like Christine's Silenced Sniper Rifle, because I sneak around a lot and get critical hits. For standard enemies, a single sneak head-shot will kill most of them, especially if you have the required perks that give bonuses to sneak attacks and critical hits.

I really like the Survivalist's Rifle [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Survivalist%27s_rifle], the .45 Auto Submachine Gun [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/.45_Auto_submachine_gun] and the All-American [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/All_american].

Recently played through the game as an Unarmed-only character, so I'm gonna say [a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Love_and_Hate"]Love and Hate[/a].

Anti Material Rifle for taking out deathclaws and cazadors at long range

and probably the 12.4 Sub Machine gun or whatever it is called

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

In no order
A Light Shining in the Darkness
All American
Dinner Bell
Knock Knock
Anti Material Rifle
I love that combo.

Anti-Material Rifle.

Usually the NPCs don't even get a chance to shoot back. One shot, one kill.

 

[teh_Canape]

the Lever Action, the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun, the HoloRifle, Nephi's driver, and the heavy BAR machinegun from Dead Money

 

[XavierThorne]

My weapon of choice is the Light Machine Gun equipped with the expanded drums. 200 rounds per drum and using that gun with armor piercing rounds will easily cut down Deathclaws.

Me and my silenced sniper rifle were inseparable. Those Powder gangers never knew what hit them.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Lucky.

I'm just a sucker for revolvers, especially since the .357 are the only types on the game that reloads the weapon bullet by bullet.

The critical hit ratio on that thing is crazy.

I like the Riot Shotgun a lot even though I know it's not the best. I have a few favorites for different things though.

Sniper: Gauss Rifle. Get hidden and this can take out even most tough enemies from sniper distance even without a headshot

Pistol: 12.7mm pistol, easy to make ammo and makes the 10mm look like a punk

Melee: Superheated Saturnite Fist, sometimes in one blow your enemy lights on fire and runs away

Energy weapon: Tesla-Beaton Prototype, takes down the big robots in a hurry and glows red

Big gun: Light Machine Gun, makes great use of the otherwise kinda weak 5.56mm ammo, 90 round clip, not too heavy

 

[jaketaz]

A-128 Imperial Sniper Rifle (Star Wars Mod). So much fun, and not OP.

For OP: The E-88 Plasma Gatling. So much damage,

For OFFICIAL weapons: the Solar Death Ray. That never gets old, especially when you fire it inside New Vegas.

I've never heard of the Solar Death Ray. Whats up with that?

 

[Robert Ewing]

Either the anti-matter rifle. I can't remember the name of the other weapon I loved.

It's melee, looks like a massive soldering iron. Was so damn cool, cut crap up like it was nothing. Feel free to fill in what it was.

Soldering Iron. Sparks fly out the end. Makes a sort of static noise. Gogogo.

The Pew Pew, cuts everything down with only a few short blasts and the wasteland has ohh so much ammo

It's very hard to pick an absolute favorite in NV. Pew Pew is one of 'em, though. It's as powerful as the Alien Blaster but with the high cost of small energy cells. As long as you have alot of this easier-to-find ammo, you are unstoppable, even against Deathclaws.

I also love the C-Finder, though, just BECAUSE it's a lovely kill-sat. It is SOOO much fun just because of that fact.

However, I must point out that the hard-to-get special weapons are great BECAUSE you had a hard time getting 'em...so they had to be worthwhile. Therefore, special mention goes to an ordinary-but-awesome friend of mine, the sniper rifle. By GOD, but I am good at long-range murder on this thing. Thanks to it, I didn't even have to get NEAR the Deathclaw Matriarch and her young. I also killed hundreds of Lakelurks and other things, thus avoiding probably crowd control problems.

 

[Yokai]

That Gun. I love the little noise it makes when you load it.

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

This Machine AKA M1 Garand is my favorite gun. Good range and powerful all purpose weapon.
