Can You Complete Fallout 4 Using Only California-Compliant Weapons?

[@CharlatanWonder]

Wow! I was not expecting this much of a positive response from this video! I guess I'll go ahead and say now that I'd be crazy NOT to do another one of these challenges in Fallout: New Vegas so yeah, it's happening now. It's not gonna be for a while though as I've gotta get ready for my yearly Halloween in July event plus the vids I mentioned at the end of this one like Transformers and Pathologic 2. Also, please understand that there's no way I can fill a Mitten Squad-shaped hole in your hearts: no one can replace him and I'm not going to try. Challenge runs are a lot of fun and I'd like do do more of them every once in a while, but in no way am I just gonna start only doing those now. My love is still Immersive Sims and weird little horror games. But hey, I can balance those two things so I'm sure I can throw an occasional challenge run into the mix as a treat. Maybe like, one or two a year.

[@Cocaine_Santa]

Hey man, take your time, this video was pretty fun to watch, and as for Mitten Squad, no one can replace him, no one will, and I don't think anyone is expecting you to replace Mitten Squad.

[@CharlatanWonder]

@@Cocaine_Santa True, I mainly bring it up because I want to be crystal clear about it after seeing a lot of Mitten-related talk in the comments. I don't wanna just ignore it and let it potentially snowball into something I don't intend.

[@Racing_Is_Not_An_Addiction]

The California Legal idea is a really fascinating idea, I wonder how many different games it could work in... Far Cry, GTA... what a fun idea this is

[@CharlatanWonder]

@@Racing_Is_Not_An_Addiction Yeah, I *could* see this me trying to apply this to other games like Cyberpunk 2077 as was suggested in the comments, BUT I don't want to do this to death. If I just do the CA compliant challenge on every game it isn't special anymore; it's just a gimmick. After New Vegas I'd probably spend time working on a new, even sillier challenge ruleset. Hopefully my few remaining brain cells will be able to make something novel again in the year's time it will take to get around to that.

[@nomad8723]

I guess California is more memeable, But doing Boston/Mass laws in FO4 and Cali/NV for FONV could be "fun." New Vegas could be done a couple ways, but it would be torturous if you had to drop all your good stuff as soon as you enter NCR territory. Since there seems to be ongoing litigation over some of the laws in the past couple years, I'd go with the most restrictive iteration. Without going into too much detail, california defines "assault weapons" by a number of arbitrary features, but as it happens, most weapons in game are disqualified by minimum mag size or being innately full auto, so you don't really need to go into it. List of possibly legal weapons (Theoretically possible to posses and carry with requisite permits): - Revolvers - Flare gun - Hunting Rifles* - Lever Actions* - Manwell Rifle* - Double Barrel Shotguns** - Syringer (Probably? it is akin to dart guns used for animal control, although if you want to be strict, darts that do direct damage probably contain poisons/controlled substances) - Paddle Ball (lol) - All bladed weapons except switchblade, as long as they are not concealed*** - All blunt weapons - Boxing Gloves *Barrel >16" or overall length of >26" **Barrel >18" or overall length of >26", ***If you want to be really strict you could say that it is concealed if it is not currently equipped, which would basically make every edged weapon over 5" illegal and anything not a handgun, i.e. revolver. Iffy: - Pipe guns/Handmade Shotgun (homemade, so transfer would be illegal, but if you made the receiver from scratch and immediately modified it to legal spec) - Triple Barrel Handmade Shotgun (Iffy for being handmade as before, but also the ATF defines automatic as firing more than two rounds with a single pull of the trigger, so current multibarrel guns have a mechanism so all barrels must be fired in sequence, so as long as it meets ** requirements and only fires barrels in sequence it should be fine.) - Railway rifle (might be a destructive device, nobody really knows how it works.) - Cryolator (Same as above) - Gauss Rifles (Similar to above, but it probably would be legal as long as it adheres to *, being a rifle) - Flamer (Seeing as the fuel appears to be a gas, it could be considered a tool, like a blowtorch) - Most fist weapons probably fall under the category of Brass/Metallic knuckles, which are illegal Impossible to configure to legal requirements: - Combat Shotguns (Since it has a detachable magazine, it is a "Category 3 assault weapon" in california) - 10mm Pistol, all kinds (>10 round minimum mag size.) - Radium rifle (Radioactive) - Lasers/Plasma/Alien (Probably has output beyond civilian ownership, they'd find some way to arrest you for it, but most also have "assault weapon" features) Basically any outlier semiautomatic rifle configuration would break one or more of the "assault weapon" characteristics. Essentially a long winded yes, but you'll basically be pigeon holed into using fud guns and blunt force/melee, both of which are valid play styles for a modern Fallout.

You're actually pretty close to my own considerations for a sequel run for this challenge run. The main reason I picked 4 was because I would be able to modify most weapons to fit the ruleset. FNV however has a lot of weapons that are fine out of the box, but there are also other things that I'll talk about towards the end of the video

[@RedShocktrooperRST]

I think a Sniper-barrel Laser or Plasma weapon MIGHT be legal if we assume the laws are updated to include lethal energy weapons (as in-universe, the ATF counterpart also regulates Lasers, but plasma weapons don't enter civilian use before the War and therefore probably don't have any laws tied to them). The Sniper barrel in particular should work wonders for this, since in both cases it lowers the "magazine" from 30 to 9 just on its own. This precludes going over the Maximized receiver, since the Overcharged receiver will boost you back up to 12 shots, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem for Survival difficulty. Would "microfusion cells" still count as ammo or would they just be batteries and thus unregulated? Though you would definitely have to get them as Rifles. The Laser Musket COULD be legal if it's purchased from Ronnie Shaw or manufactured from an Energy Weapon Forge. However, both of these are, of course, late enough in the game to make the Laser Musket of questionable utility though a six-crank one is still quite punchy.

I know a guy that got 24 years in prison in California for getting drunk and shooting an AK-47 in the air, the average sentence for murder in CA is 7 years

[@translucentsquirrelofdarkn7138]

Wow, 24 years seems a bit excessive for that. but that 7 year number is odd. You may be thinking of the voluntary manslaughter charge of 3-11 years, rather than the second degree murder charge which is a minimum of 15 years, or the first degree murder charge which has a minimum sentence of 25 years. Voluntary Manslaughter is for unplanned, isolated, heat of the moment violence that results in someone's death. For example, walking in on your partner cheating on you, and attacking the other person. Second degree murder is when you kill someone without premeditation, differentiated from Voluntary Manslaughter in that it usually involves committing some other form of crime like armed robbery. First degree murder is the premeditated of another person. Not sure how you came to the average of 7 years for a murder charge, but I'd be curious to hear it.

That technically includes all… found pipe weapons that meet the states laws so, technically if you don’t use a pipe weapon but pick it up and modify it, you’re still in compliance… Technically 😂

FYI, the Obrez is just a shortened Mosin, not a precursor or manufacturing defect, nor an austerity gun. I guess in soviet russia, gangsters who got their hands on war surplus must have decided to cut them down for concealment, and they just became a sort of symbol for extremely scuffed "hood mods". In reality, the lack of barrel length means the cartridge performs much worse, you have to deal with yet-unburnt propellant flashing into a huze muzzle fireball, while the bullet itself travels much slower.

[@sgt.eclair]

Obrez's are actually pre-soviet - handguns were in short supply in the Revolution, so something at least somewhat concealable was better than nothing

[@KeeganYF12]

The main reason for Obrez rifles is because pistols weren't available to most people in the Soviet Union, so people made their own.

I love how every bethesda game playthrough, no matter how hard you crank the difficulty, endgames/midgames with you being basically untouchable.

[@metronicmagician1816]

Honestly it’s one of Bethesda’s strong suits. That no matter your build, as long as you are actually building towards something, you will be powerful by the end of the game.

[@userequaltoNull]

@@metronicmagician1816 That's really not a strong suit, it's just very casual game design philosophy. Pretty much any game not explicitly designed to keep challenging the player will end up in that situation, whether it's Minecraft, Skyrim, or Stardew Valley.

[@metronicmagician1816]

@@userequaltoNull I’m going to guess you’ve never played Skyrim on anything but easy then cause that game can be annoyingly difficult on harder settings. Besides fallout 4 survival (which is what this play through is on) is incredibly challenging. Seriously game adds so many extra hurdles and roadblocks that actively challenge you, and the damage taken/received makes the game very difficult while not just being a damage sponge. Hell you saw the ghouls 2 tap this guy throughout the entire play through. This game is difficult if you choose a harder difficulty. It’s just Bethesda’s way of making games that you will eventually be god incarnate by the end because they want you to feel powerful. If you don’t believe me to start up a survival play through, try to get to Diamond city, and take now of how difficult that can be.

[@arifhossain9751]

@@metronicmagician1816 Skyrim is nowhere near as difficult as you're making out to be. There are hundreds of challenge run on Legendary and Survival that prove this. Skyrim can and WILL hold your hand through the easiest of quest objectives with quest markers and essential companions who will sometimes just randomly join you cos the quest demands it. Companions that get the same damage scaling and spongy health bars as the enemies, by the way. Fallout 4 is much the same. Try Morrowind if you want a challenge.

It's pretty cool how the tier list for enemies in the game changes depending on what type of challenge run you are doing. Ghouls are a pain to deal with in general but typically you wouldn't have such restrictions for what weapons to use against them. I find that interesting how it just changes the dynamic and approach to certain areas or quests. Very fun video, you now have a new subscriber!

[@harrisonsuderman2873]

Problem is you have a duty to retreat, so now your found guilty of first degree murder, many times over. Edit: In my head i mixed California and other states like newyork that have duty to retreat. Surprisingly California has "Stand your ground" laws. I was thinking they had a similar law to newyorks penal code 35.15 subsection 2A. (The irony is not lost on me)

[@ShiningDarknes]

@@nisonatic Indeed, in fact their fucktarded 10 round capacity bullshit is predicated on statistics that say something like most self defense cases involve the defendant only firing and average 2.2 rounds (and that is how you know the statistic is bullshit, you can't fire 0.2 bullets, you fired a round or you didn't, that kind of surface-level analysis is heavily biased) so why would you need more than 10? I couldn't possibly think of _any_ reason, except oh I don't know the fact there have been instances of people being shot over 10 times and still moving for minutes even surviving. They like to point out that 10 rounds means a shooter would need to reload more thus giving time to escape but forget that criminals don't follow the law so now you have criminals with 30+ rounds meanwhile a law-abiding citizen only has 10+1 if they carry chambered, 10 empty chamber. It is so damn paradoxical and lawmakers have their heads too far up their asses to realize how fucking stupid their reasoning is. Never mind the fact they have been told repeatedly by several supreme court judges that there is no history of laws limiting capacity of detachable magazines, if fact the other states that have had such laws have had their restrictions deemed unconstitutional and the only reason California is still getting away with it is a technicality that keeps happening. Unfortunately only 3 judges at the time had their heads out of their asses so it failed to have a majority vote (it wasn't ruled either way, there was no consensus and it will go again probably this year given it goes before the court basically every fucking year) So yeah, fuck California's entire government, the whole thing sucks not just their BS gun laws made by people who have never touched grass in their life.
