20 meter dynamite splash

[@Makornak]

27:05 For a bit of lore on that knife, Chance was the main character in a comic that came with the collectors edition of the game. He was a Great Khan who met his demise at the end of the story. Incorporating his grave and rewarding the player for locating it is one of the many minor details that makes this game so incredible.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

The blood on the knife is Fiend blood, which is ironic since the khan's make most of their money off of the Fiends. I don't feel bad for killing all the Fiends and leaving them with few customers

For Curtis, it's a matter of if you have a way of knowing if he planted a bomb on the monorail. If he detects you before mentioning it, you will be unable to stop the bomb. I think checking with Hsu is also an instant fail, but I have never checked that after hearing Curtis go through his entire dialogue.

[@willowman6938]

I have actually completed deathclaw pro-hunter challenge with a recharger rifle, it requires a bit of jumping to get a good vantage point there is an ideal location right in the centre of the quarry and just outside of the entrance to the quarry. Once you're in position just fire away and eventually you'll get there

[@Reishadowen]

A lot of those "kill enemy X with weapon Y" work in a funny way: It only seems to matter what you are holding when the enemy dies. You can hold a different weapon while reverse-pickpocketing grenades onto your enemies, and it will count because it looks at what you are holding, not what you killed them with. On the reverse, if you use your last dynamite to kill something, it won't count, because you're holding nothing when the enemy dies.

That's some evil laughter you're packing, Jon

[@NinjaSoilder]

For Against All Tyrants, you can kill Vulpes in the New Vegas strip when he gives you the Mark of Caesar, and if you've left Nipton alone before this, there will be a different named Legionnaire names Gabban there that counts for the challenge when you kill them, as he will replace Vulpes for Keep Your Eyes on the Prize, and Cold, Cold heart. The only issue is that this is after you get the Mark, and in Act two, killing him will cause all Legionnaires to be hostile towards you.

[@nessuno1984]

I made my own challenge because I hate Caesar's Legion. I stealth killed every one of them. I was in good standing with them throughout as they didn't even notice until the end when I killed everyone in Caesar's tent. It's impossible to stealth kill all in the tent. Far more satisfying than any ending the game offered me. There's a lot of fans of FNV but the depravity of the Legion and the ungratifying endings and lack of feeling of achievement in the game puts it far below FO4 or even FO3 for me.

[@leejones8082]

[@thehulkster9434]

Tricky way to get your weapons in the fort one time - if you can c-4 all the praetorians in the bunker and kill them at the same time, there will be no one to take your weapons back, and if I recall correctly, no Legion Infamy is gained if they are all killed at the same time. If you pull it off, on that one occasion, you can carry all your weapons into the Fort proper. It's perfect for killing Ceasar, although it is hard to pull off and sometimes recquires saving and reloading. You can also drop it before it's confiscated at the entrance, but that feels more like a glitch than a clever exploit.

New Vegas is the game that is always installed on my pc.

[@Asterra2]

The fun of those Legion/NCR challenges is in studying the lists of valid targets and figuring out who will live and who will die. For example, on the NCR side, I prioritize people with neutral karma (there are some with good karma), followed by people with bad attitudes and people who disappear from the world after your primary interaction with them. Cassandra Moore is my second-from-final NCR target, and I make certain to take her out right before the endgame sequence since all hell breaks loose when she dies. Seeing as how she epitomizes Obsidian's very clever tipoff that the player may have been tricked by the NCR's amiable citizens into thinking they were the good guys, she absolutely deserves her fate. For the Legion, there's no real choice but to save it all for the big confrontation in the Fort, which is fair, as at least two other challenges have to be accomplished there at the same time. Edit: I'll add that Ronald Curtis has unique Wild Wasteland dialogue that can only be heard if you make the "mistake" of tipping him off to the fact that you're investigating the leaks. There's a mod called Wild Wasteland Checklist that maintains a tally of the Wild Wasteland content one discovers, so I make a point of getting this dialogue from him, even though it does mean the monorail blows up.
