What Is DUST?
DUST is a Post-Apocalyptic survival simulator with an emphasis on lore and story. DUST completely overhauls nearly every aspect of the game to better represent an apocalyptic survival-horror atmosphere. Combat, weather, perks, loot, enemies, you name it. Some areas have even been visually overhauled. All vanilla NPCs have either been killed or changed beyond all recognition. You will not be able to complete quests or join factions. There is but one quest in DUST. Stay alive.
DUST takes place 20 years after the events of New Vegas. As you explore you will slowly learn the story of DUST, but unlike vanilla Fallout, you are not the main character. You are simply a bystander, and must create your own story. There is one way to win DUST. A true survivor must escape the Mojave. With help from notes and keen observation, one may be able to learn of the exit. Even then, the player will have to go a long way to get out.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere of the Mojave has been completely redone. Nearly all weather has either been replaced with that of the Divide or edited to have a dusty/polluted feel. All healthy looking desert plants have been replaced with dead counterparts. Oh, and Lake Mead is drained. Actually the entire Colorado River is drained. It's a Tunneler-infested Labyrinth now. (I am aware of the LOD issues around Mead Canyon, this should be fixed in an update)
Scarcity
Ammo is very rare. Most ammo you find will be junk rounds. Food and water is very rare. And before you get any ideas, no you can't just drink out of one of the many faucets of New Vegas. Plumbing doesn't work in the apocalypse (what? shocking!). You can still drink the brown sludge in the bottom of toilets, though. If you so choose, you can eliminate hunger as a threat by turning cannibal. Cannibalism is treated as an addiction, however, and will result in some penalties. Meds and other loot are also very rare.

[@scarletjester7831]

I remember when I played this for the first time, after getting completely destroyed for hours I found myself seeing a friendly NPCs getting attacked by stuff. I thought to myself "don't help... if that doesn't get them, something else will. Just wait for the fighting and loot what might be useful", this mod really makes you resort to some scummy things to make it through

[@flawdaboi6060]

The scummy things you have to do Is what makes this mod so Good Because its Shit you would really have to do in the real world

[@Pablo-pe2rv]

This was such a good announcement that I even set the “premiere” reminder 😂 it’s good to have you back in fallout stuff

[@PaulWebsterLincoln]

would not mind him doing Oxygen Not Included or The Long Dark (interloper) though :D

[@b00giZm]

Kudos for the MATN shoutout. Since you both are literally my two favorite KZbinrs, you should now definitely do some kind of crossover. Maybe you should teach Jon how to play Frost properly 😂

[@waltbeasley5878]

But Jon is...well Jon. Perception zero, but luck of 12.lol

[@b00giZm]

@@waltbeasley5878 True! I still want to scream at my screen when I watch his Frost episode where he discovers Downtown, thinks that it had bugged out because of the empty inventories at night, leaves and never comes back again.

[@AppaTheBizon1228]

i really appreciate the ominous combat music during the ant fight in the school house

[@TheWandererPlays]

Can't believe I managed to kill them all with no hits taken. If only I could play Elden Ring that well.

[@ArtyomicRedd]

Id honestly suggest not going permideath run for your first playthrough, Dust is fun but will start to scale hard in difficulty in a short period of time. Switch from cinematic vats when you get the chance to save you time and health in the long run. Other than that, look into some lootable car mods and the Retrievable Throwables Reforged mod, they help when you're hurting for supplies... a little. Other than that, hope you enjoy Dust to the fullest, it's a really worthwhile play outside the usual hardcore mode.

[@TheWandererPlays]

Thank you for the mod recommendation, I'll likely pick that up.

[@bluraspjell0878]

Oh this is absolutely what I’ve been asking for

[@Lestat21500]

YES! When the game starts and you hear the beginning music to fallout 1 you know you're going to have a good time.

[@rakiest]

I'm glad everyone calls you wandy now and it wasn't just me

[@bhicks76]

There's a mod that lets you recover some of your throwing spears. Can't remember the name but rycon used it with his last run.

[@davidclingerman7668]

It just got an update too and allows for the even cooler mod b42 bows which has full animations and arrow crafting

[@davidclingerman7668]

Retrievable throwables reforged and if you're interested the new b42 bows would make this really interesting. The bows also scale off of survival too which really fits the theme

[@aurochtamer]

Always nice to see Dust getting some love

[@UristMicrocline]

Nice! Been looking forward to more Fallout videos from you!

[@DiesOnAToilet]

I bet Wandy has some good visual mods ready to go. I love FO4 Frost, and have always considered playing this, but it's hard for me to go back to New Vegas visuals, even though like a lot of people, I consider New Vegas the best of all. Really, the shooting gameplay improved a lot with FO4, too, even if almost everything else regressed.

[@dubzyn]

Hopefully one day we’ll see something like fallout 4 new Vegas

[@UristMicrocline]

The combat in New Vegas makes it really hard to go back to for me. Even with mods to improve it aiming down sights is janky and inaccurate. You pretty much have to use VATS and I hate VATS. "Kill. Loot. Return." is the Fallout 4 meme but every Fallout has combat front and center as a main feature and New Vegas just did it poorly.

[@donaldbell2554]

I would love..love fallout 4 New Vagas

[@Kris-wo4pj]

@@UristMicrocline idk i always found the combat fine. its fallout 3 that messes me up i need a mod just to get it half as stable as new vegas is. then again i like VATS and VATS is worthless garbage in FO4 which ruins the point of having a pip boy. also in New Vegas if ya got high enough Perception ya can snipe with a pistol long as they can be shown in VATS. hit VATS 0% to hit in VATS but aim for the head and fire manual with a pistol in stealth and have the kill cam every time blow their head off.

[@UristMicrocline]

@@Kris-wo4pj Sounds like we just like different things and that's ok. The stuff you say you hate about 4 and like about New Vegas I like about 4 and hate about New Vegas.

[@robertpascanu3404]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! I've been looking forward for some of your videos :) Good luck!

[@shinobuoshina8270]

Oh hey you finally got to it, I remember you talking about it back when playing New Vegas. Goodluck! Also, it's weird that you start with all the packs. I thought DUST spawns them all over the map rather than giving them to you, but maybe that was an additional mod that I used instead. Dunno, played it like a year or more ago, but I definitely had all the unique items from the pack given out to NPCs or spawned in specific locations in my game.

[@thehumanstunlock7588]

i am currently seething at the fact he didn't realize he could repair the hunter's duster with the other duster.

[@gizmoandbackgaming]

Oh yeah. Been waiting for this for a long time.

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

1:09:42 - You have nothing to lose by attempting to scrap the cutting board. Really, loot every junk item you come across, so you can ascertain which of them can be scrapped.

[@thatbiboyintheback7712]

Omg everytime you post i get so happy

[@waynelawton4946]

:) it's been a long time but wandy is back in the dust...

[@Totoofwarful]

You had enough of the nuclear winter constant snow storm? Go to the Mojave and get all your nuclear summer and dust storm needs!

[@FRANKMUSIKOFFICIAL]

I live for these

[@isenal]

Aaaand now i have big need to mod new vegas again. To begin again. Dust here i come.

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

1:02:30 - You missed because you were too close. You know how a gun's barrel will poke through an enemy's body when they're right up on you? Sort of the same problem. Probably should have thrown when you were at 92%. 😜 1:02:48 - Define irony.

[@toska5466]

Making me feel old remembering how I found you. Witching hour vids and something to help the insomnia 🤍

[@SlayerZx10]

Yo so excited for this brotha can't wait!

[@deimata9880]

Holy shit Dust playthrough LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@b00giZm]

Fallout Wandy is back!!

[@remimk]

Keeping that repair outfit just for looks eh? lol

[@TheWandererPlays]

Gotta take off the slooty outfit sometimes and just relax in the overalls you know?

[@Splorky3]

28:36 that was perfect timing lol

[@kilgoretrout5086]

I had to wait to watch this because my small town crappy internet was on the fritz again, now to catch up.

[@Aliyah_666]

To be fair if the courier is who this is based off of then the extra gear isn't entirely wrong to have. He has been surviving since the events of new vegas.

[@Ripotes]

Good Frost playthrough. Was hoping for Dust tho

[@HollowPandemic]

New dust playthrough to watch let's go

[@andrewhitt2688]

frost is good but the vibe of dust will always do it better for me idk why just super eerie

[@stevencarter2918]

Let's go wanderer I've been looking forward to this series one question are you going to go into the dlc areas

[@TheWandererPlays]

Everywhere if possible. I'll skip areas that are too hard and come back later, but I want to do and see everything Dust has to offer.

[@chemicalbacon5210]

Dogs brutally murdered: 5

[@johnnyguitar21]

Hooray! Very excited for this!

[@anthonygregory1391]

You are back yeah

[@mclovin9210]

So excited for this. KZbin somehow didn't notify me. My piece of unsolicited backseat gamer advice: built to destroy is bad enough in the base game, but for this mod, it is just an increase in difficulty. Especially early-mid game, before you get jury rigging. Pretty much all weapons you find are on the verge of breaking. Most enemies drop from 1-2 hits anyway, crit or not. And I swear that those 15% increased degradation feel more like 200%. That being said, a little more difficulty won't stop Wandy.

[@TheWandererPlays]

I always go for the "min/max" end game approach, even if that means making it hard for me in the early game. I always focus on the destination when planning a character, even though it probably hutrs me more in teh short term lol. Guess that's a character flaw.

[@clarkneedsaweapon]

Queue the murder montage 🙂🥤🍿

[@clarkneedsaweapon]

13:30 That pistol is 🤌 beautiful 😍

[@clarkneedsaweapon]

17:12 "Nice shooting kid, but dont get cocky!" 🍿🍿🍿 Great shooting Wandy, Vats or no Vats 🍻

[@clarkneedsaweapon]

1:15:00 this is a new low point for you 🤦 but, 🤷‍♂️ water is water

[@cosmiccowboy9358]

DUST BABY!!!!!

[@sunder11111]

Oh sick, so glad you're playing this!

[@dadshirt6681]

oh hell yeah

[@devynhaggerty4694]

Just a reminder that you can use the ammo workbench to scrap junk into lead and junk rounds to make regular ammunition hope it helps

[@TheWandererPlays]

The issue I'm running into is casings mostly. I could scrap/craft, but I have all of like 5 casings for each various ammo type.

[@devynhaggerty4694]

@@TheWandererPlays very true not sure if you get regular casings from scrapping junk rounds but you do get casings from scraping ammunition good way to conserve weight as well

[@wrath8542]

wanderer finally got around to doing a dust LP..

[@bobs6888]

I think you can scrap pencils into wood to make spears. Worth a look, there were a few of them in the houses in "Goodsprings" Excited about this series!

[@rodolfoalmanza2199]

Talk about finding a new series to watch!! Looks like im gonna be binging this!!

[@snensus]

I left my Heart in the Sierra Madre ♥️

[@NathanMadden98]

This is technically the post post post apocalypse. Civilizations had started to rise again and were crushed into dust, hence fallout NV: dust

[@kedrynfuel]

LETS GO

[@GoblinWar]

Built to destroy will be interesting, slower firing but higher damage is the standard recommendation but it'll probably be fine as long as you go heavy into repair

[@lostsoul2184]

Yes and more yeses

[@MatthewZzzz0]

Welcome back Wandy. I know I've been missing your content

[@thehypest6118]

Can't believe you shot the dog

[@TheWandererPlays]

HE LOOKED TASTY! I felt real bad though lmao.

[@donaldbell2554]

Love how you rp thanks for thr video

[@grouch_gaming]

Level Cap is 50, 10 if you take Logan's Loophole, its just that without quests Experience is lot less common in DUST when compared to New Vegas Base.

[@tubb4342]

I started my own playthrough of Dust and I got to start with a brush gun near Lake Mead.

[@lostintime519]

someone needs to make it into a wabbajack modlist

[@CosmicJungle]

Hello Wanderer, Survivor Here AND OH THANK GOD I CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES AGAIN. YEEEEEEESSZSSZZSSSSS

[@samaeldeer9115]

Ahh this intro music, so good :-)

[@alexhamilton3522]

when you threw away the leather duster I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!" Sorry, it's just because in the beginning you had a Hunter's Duster that could have been repaired a bit better by it.

[@cicadaseance]

If you want a good middle ground between permadeath and normal vanilla NV saving, I recommend the 'No Second Chances' mod, which has a selection of alternate methods of saving the game. My favorite is needing a pack of cigarettes to smoke to save the game, turning your game saves into another consumable resource! I used it for my own Dust playthrough and I died scared and alone in a dead end filled with corpses, so bereft of resources I had to give up entirely, 20 hours in. 10/10 mod for sure, no sarcasm

[@whatisahandle_69]

Most of this video is inventory management.

[@framebot]

Hell yeah

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

Are you not able to break down junk items, like Irons and whatnot? Would cool if you could get Scrap Metal and Scrap Electronics from stuff like that.

[@TheWandererPlays]

Not sure, I can try that though. I didn't see a breakdown recipe for it in the crafting kit.

[@TheTheJimJim]

There is a mod that let's you pick up thrown weapons. Not sure how well it works.

[@jeffbecker2268]

Hey wandy, you missed 2 kitchen knifes at 1:15:32 in doc Mitchels home & at 1:27:44 in the home(kitchen) by Chet's General store.

[@jibsnow1764]

Nice wasn't expecting this!

[@93MM483N50N]

I asked for advice installing dust and got scolded for "installing outdated mods" 😂 Excited for the series!

[@TheWandererPlays]

The viva new vegas install guide does literally say that, but I mean... if you want to play Dust, you want to play Dust, ya know? I'd say for stability sake, use a minimal mod loadout like the one linked in the description.

[@rjbandit7712]

I would’ve kept the binoculars...!

[@SlZIJI]

Radchild makes stimpaks obsolete, it'd be cool if you pick all the crafting perks, like the magazine printing one or mad bomber which gives energy/fusion cells use early on to make the oh so deadly mfc clusters. Also you can make fireant fricase with the flour

[@UninspiredFilm5]

Yooooo, exciting!

[@jasong8085]

There is a mod that puts all the dlc bonus pack stuff out in the world to find, on NPCs and locations

[@alecbuxton7634]

In the fallout games the charisma stat governs the prices you buy and sell at and how hard any companions you may get fight beside you meaning the higher your charisma charisma is the better fighter they are for their style so the effects of it are hidden and it just seems to be a dumb stat

[@thequestion210]

Is this The Elder Scrolls: Loot Management Simulator?

[@jacquesvanonselen7189]

Impress me sir and you will gain a new sub.

[@KAIFREX]

Technicaly speaking, this whould be the post, post, Post apocalypse, scence this is after: The Great War, The Rebuilding of Society, The New Societies( NCR, The Legion, etc) The 2nd Fall of Society. Sooooo... Yeah

[@EmanuelWecker]

I don't know how many years i've been watching The Wanderer play Fallout, but it's a ritual that conects me with mental sanity and reality of the world in an upper level since i had to sold my gaming pc because of the economic situation in Argentina. I'm telling the truth sir when I say that you are an inspiration to me and many others, always a centered human being triying to do his best and never getting corrupted in the process, and no one can say that you haven't been tested. "Man has born with the will to survive" from the song Never let go by Camel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIGohpmLeLB7jLM

[@PandaTuble999]

can you bind the crafting kit to a hotkey?

[@TheWandererPlays]

That's a good idea.

[@user-qf7my2uf9b]

I'm from Russia. I'm upgrade my English with you and watch a good playthrough

[@fluffytowels1145]

Interesting reasoning for picking female, I use a similar one when paying F3 and NV. But in my case it's just the make hands look crusty as hell and that's the part of my character I see most of the time.

[@TheWandererPlays]

Glad I am not the only one that noticed and was bothered by this! Yes, the area where the thumb connects to hand specifically looks so dirty on the male model.

[@jerilee5057]

Welp, now you gotta do a Hz 1.9a play through

Are you the type a guy who will never settle down where pretty girls are because your the wanderer

[@locustsun]

Hey, so maybe you figured this out, but I came across this in your video. I believe the hot plate you picked up allows you to cook inside your crafting kit, which was why you could get the dog steaks in this episode.

[@DadHacksCentral]

[@anoobindisguise4337]

The term is "post post-apocalypse apocalypse" I think. There IS an "optimal" DUST build btw. It's 10 str, 10 endurance, 10 intelligence, 7 agility, 1 perc, 1 luck, 1 charisma (agility/intelligence is flexible), with Skilled and Heavy Handed, main skills Melee, Repair, Survival. You can coast on tunneller, gecko and coyote loot for healing and manage your stuff very easily especially with Repair giving you jury rigging. Melee kills everything in the game (I even reduced the secret invincible boss to 0 health) and gets obscenely powerful very quickly, and you have a billion sustain perks like Rad Child. You don't need Luck since Heavy Handed makes up the difference easily letting you have more efficient SPECIAL distribution. You can technically kill NCR by stacking a ton of healing but you want to perk into Energy Weapons late game to get the Makeshift Particle Pistol + Pyromaniac (shishkebab) to kill NCR safely (Particle Pistol is obscenely ammo efficient doing massive damage at cost of a single ECP). You can go insane or don't. You want to get the Sound of Mind perk as soon as possible, it takes all your current sanity and then sets it to zero, and permanently increases your max health by 1/10th that amount, it doesn't reward you for current sanity but rather the sanity you had when you took the perk. It's the end game level 50 perk but available right away, so stack booze etc to hit 1000 sanity and then take that perk and you become so much more tanky. Since the "canon" start is very close to Nipton I like to go there first and get the handy loot from the ex-legion guys there, with some good kiting tactics you can pretty easily kill them all and there's a toilet for health restoration.
