Fallout History S.P.E.C.I.A.L - Luck

[@DunceDope]

The best luck roll is new Vegas not crashing when I try to play it

[@charlescourtwright2229]

If you run only mods that make the game more stable, the crashes would be quite low, but who runs just those mods?

[@pitchforker3304]

I played a 1 Luck characer with the Jinxed perk once in Fallout 1 or 2, and it was ridiculous. Guns jammed, ammo lost, broken limbs, it was certainly different lol.

1:23 tag gamble to around 80, have luck of 9+. Then go to a casino (Gizmos is nice and early) and weigh down keys 1 and 5 (I think) whilst playing roulette. Go do something, come back several hours later to your millions. Then, buy everything you want (including as many skill books as you like from the book vendor opposite the casino in the hub).

i had similiar effect, but more fun with tagging barter, getting it to 100 ASAP and taking everysingle item from every NPC in fallout 1 leaving them with 1 cap, because I sold everything for more than I bought it. Hey mister, wanna trade, how about my stimpak for your stimpak +50 caps sounds? stores were harder to rip this way because their NPCs had higher barter

8:48 In Fallout 4, it is possible to obtain random crits outside of V.A.T.S. You just need to use Overdrive in order to get them. 25% chance.

[@tonyreznov100]

@@Foreign501st came here to say this, overdrive crit builds are nasty especially if you get Righteous Authority and put a beam splitter on it early on

[@robcassey6043]

Thank you for all the SPECIAL videos. As someone who has never played Fallout 1, 2 or Tactics found these really interesting.

[@i_am_ergo]

I'd say Scrounger is a must-have perk in Fallout 4 if you're going with a full-auto build. You go through ammo so fast, even with something like Spray n' Pray, that you pretty much never find enough to make up for what you spend, so you have to go and restock every once in a while. But at least the ammo types that you aren't using are good barter fodder. So yeah, Commando and Scrounger go hand in hand. Good thing you don't need a lot of points in Luck for Scrounger too.

2:10 just wanna point out luck doesn't affect the odds of getting a critical failure (they have a fixed chance), it changes the types of failures you get. For example at luck 10 you'd get something like "Your weapon jammed, forcing you to reload" where at luck 1 you'd get "Your weapon just blew up in your face." Also, you can get critical failures without jinxed, jinxed just makes it much them much more common. I think it's like any miss, both you and the enemy's, has a 75% chance of being "upgraded" to a critical miss.

[@capoeiraplayeromineirorene6946]

hell yeahhh, me and my homies love luck in fallout (we just play until we break the casinos and get out)

[@johnflier4873]

It's impressive how many breakdowns on Fallout 3 just end up saying basically "The Combat Shotgun exists and it is way too strong not to use it."

[@ThommyofThenn]

The gambling was interesting in the first game. I only did it at the "casinos." Ended up making some good coin as luck would have it

[@XXMichaelXX-jr7fk]

This is one of the skills I take for better criticals for both Fallout 3 and New Vegas because its overpowered

[@michaelbarbarich3965]

In FO1, you could play a text based version of craps in the Hub. I LOVE CRAPS, and a high luck character with some points in gambling could make you a fat stack of caps very early on. It makes a very unforgiving game a fair bit easier if you can get decent gear. Also, the text descriptions for some of the targeted shot crits are as hilarious as they are brutal.

[@a.grimes4202]

To oversimplify, in FNV, Luck 10 is basically a get rich quick scheme (gambling).

[@brantnuttall]

Ron, I'm surprised you're not aware of the unlimited funds tactic I described below.

[@ThommyofThenn]

I have been putting one point into luck each time i lvl up in Morrowind. Need to start a new FNV character

[@Leomorg731]

Luck gang wya

[@ehk5948]

All you need is Luck~

[@philstarsick82]

New vegas always i set luck to 10. Paid off when i made it to the strip.

[@clashtown2411]

Now do history for each of the skills

[@LordRazer3]

For people running idiot savant in fallout 4 have 7 intellect is actually the best thing you can do since intellect gave you more exp making savant just give you overall more exp. Any higher and savant now falls off. As for crit vats...that was busted is you built it right because you could make every since attack crit

[@brantnuttall]

12:14 Chinese grenade launcher does crits, not that it needs to as it does 620 damage for about a 5' radius. lol

[@cyh6092]

Luck doesn't suck, in fallout and real life.
