The Infamous Exploits of Fallout: New Vegas

[@ElValuador]

The IGN KZbin video with two of the New Vegas developers laughing in bewilderment at a sub 11 minute speed run is always a good time.

[@PlumbFlush]

The goat-on-a-stick speed run videos are also hilarious

[@KlausChavez111]

All those vids are good

[@ItzFoxUwU]

lazer detonator + fat man + low yeild, then do the ammo exploit and you get a mininuke minigun

[@NigelMarmalade]

Marry me

[@c-20_v2]

Laser detonator and ammo glitch is my favorite glitches by far also works with missles if you dont wanna take that rad damage

[@dwarfdigger135]

Loved walking into freeside and crashing my game while firing up in the air and waiting for the inevitable

[@notfred1233]

I did that with the tiny tots ammo type. Blinded me, killed me, and was a barrel of fun

[@LeonSMeowity]

I feel like another worthwhile exploit worth mentioning would have been the Skilled trait glitch. If you initially pick Skilled in Doc Mitchell's house you'll get the regular 5 skill points in all your skills with the -10% XP debuff, however when leaving Goodsprings you get the Respec character pop up. If you decide to say yes to respecing your character, reset your traits and select Skilled yet again, the trait applies twice giving you 10 total extra skill points in all your skills, but you still only keep the -10% XP debuff because for some reason that doesn't stack. I believe this works with Good Natured and all the other traits related to extra skill point allocation, but I'm not 100% sure about that one

[@Scowleasy]

And then you can reset at the auto-doc in OWB for another +5 of skilled lol

[@LeonSMeowity]

​@@Scowleasy I genuinely forgot you could do it again in OWB since I usually don't touch the DLCs when I play through the game. You're definitely right tho on that one and it's far more busted fs since you can literally break the entire skill economy in the game lmao

[@kacperk3242]

No. Good Natured works "properly" and deletes itself

[@LeonSMeowity]

@@kacperk3242 Good to know. Wasn't completely sure on that one because I always abused the exploit at the same time as taking Good Natured. Just getting +15 in some stats from the beginning is just too powerful when the negate the decrease of stats

[@xxarcangelxx143]

You can do this glitch to max out or get close to max. Save before leaving the beginning area and get as close to the part before the rebuild character menu pops up and try to get the pipboy up as the menu pops up at the same time. Now choose the skilled trait and and now the menu will keep popping up and repeat the skilled trait for free skill points until the character creator menu pops up. The lower the pipboy is when you get it, the better.

[@theneocypher]

Been playing this game for 15 years and never knew these exploits 💀

[@paladinkhan]

5:15 something to note about using this exploit to pick up mines or c4 while duplicating. It's important to go in a line or something like that so that way you can pick them up in the order that you put them down, from the last one you put down to the first. You'll notice upon doing it that if you skip one in between it will disappear, so if you try to do this in a pile you might accidentally pick up one near the beginning of ones that you've placed and lose quite a few. Not sure why that is but happens to me on 360 anyways.

[@aannoyingcaat]

There’s actually an even more over powered and overall destructive combo with the Ammo Swap bug. Loading mini nukes into the Lonesome Road Detonator basically lets you make an infinite mini nuke sprayer, since it isn’t programmed to “run out” of ammo, and shoots a constant beam, even loading just 1 in lets you do it as much as you want so long as you don’t swap off the gun

[@notfred1233]

Addendum to that: it's only advisable to shoot rounds from the GRA dlc, since from my testing they're thebonly ones that actually shoot out. On the upside though this includes mirv mini nukes, rockets from LR, and other fun things

[@scottfast7809]

With the Chet exploit you can combine it with the character respec when leaving Goodsprings for first time. If you don't want to be too high level after respec just take the "Here and Now" perk and you will only level up onne more time. So theoretically if you have patience hit level 50 take what you want, respec and play through the game after respec starting at level 11 as lowest, only perks of level 6 and higher dont reset aswell as level 4s cannibal perk.

[@AndreasNicklasson]

Actually, DLC perks don't reset either, so Old World Gourmet and Light Touch from Dead Money are the best to take for level 2 and 4 on your initial grind. You'd also want to modify your karma to qualify for two different level 50 perks (stealing everything in Chet's shop and the saloon makes it easy to get evil karma for the +20% attack speed perk).

[@ninjakitteh9095]

My favourite lil workaround, is walking up to the latrines in the back of the ncrcf jail. Focus on the chair. Choose "sit", and poof, you're on the other side of the gate. Head on up to the nearer tower and you can filter most of the fights as they only have one approach 😸

[@kacperk3242]

Skipping most of the Black Mountain quest by reaching the door interaction from behing the fence is my favourite

[@a.grimes4202]

One now sadly patched Infinite XP glitch I abused for my run for the Hardcore mode trophy was talking to Dr. Ignacio Rivas during the “That Lucky Old Sun” quest. Not only would you get +350XP for telling him if you had selected the option on the mainframe that he wanted, but also either some stimpaks, or more crucially for HC mode, Doctor’s Bags. With an infinite number of uses of that check you could stock up on tons of both.

[@MKULTRAVOLUNTEER1984]

I'm surprised you didn't show the Fisto glitch. You can talk to him and decline his services to get 10 caps. Repeat as much as you want for infinite caps.

[@villings]

DECLINE his services? you monster

[@AbE-z3n]

i mean he has at least to be tested, right?

[@Beats-sx1ch]

I mean sure but there's way better ways to make caps, and why delay your well deserved services

[@cherry9787]

Use this glitch to get the 33000 chips

[@stormcry8202]

I find that with a level 14 Character and a 90 repair skill, and taking the Jury Rigging Perk is all I need for infinite money for all those expensive GRA items. Repairing broken high ticket items with early game junk like single shotguns is super fun, and a good way to get the caps eventually for the Big MT Auto-Doc purchases. I usually stockpile all my early game crap in Ringo's gas station, eventually grabbing it all and taking a very overencumbered slow slog to Novac to the apt there. Then to the 88, very slowly, even more overencumbered, where I will use those items as a repair fodder for Sniper rifles, and Riot shotguns. A 100 cap shotgun repairs a 6000 cap riot shotgun, and bam 5900 caps profit. Rinse/repeat for any loot you grab from then on for high rewards.

[@strahljd]

Doesn't Novac have a mailbox? Use the one in Good Springs in front of the store and send all your stuff to the one at Novac, is that not an option?

[@kacperk3242]

I do the same with weapon repair kits insted of Jury Rigging. You can get infinite amount from Dead money if you gamble.

[@Beats-sx1ch]

​@@strahljdcame here to mention this, mail system is busted for non-cheat runs

[@AbE-z3n]

"its a double win!" *ringo and cob laying in the dirt*

[@sabreTXC3]

5:55 use the laser detonator with rockets, missiles and mini nukes. The timed mini nukes are my favorite and bounce all over in a stream pouring out the laser detonator. Best part is as long as you have at least one ammo it will fire infinitely

[@courier6960]

The ammo swap exploit is also great for speeding through damage challenges, for example selecting mini nukes while holding an unarmed weapon will allow you to not only one shot any enemy, but also deal tens of thousands of damage in a single blow

[@SpecShadow]

I've tried ammo swap before to no vail - turns out it required controler which is something I don't do in game with first person perspective...

[@iiMUnFaZeD]

i love the ammo swap with the lazer designator in ronesomeload hot key mininukes or rockets with infinite ammo

[@TheWinRar]

Speed criple and ammo swapping are super integral to my playthroughs, walking without it and reloading vendors to find ammo withoit it feel so much slower than taking the time to set those up 👍

[@420-V.T.L-Machinist]

I think its pronounced 4 /aught. Like taught.

[@tdgkt88]

It still means the same thing though.

[@brandoncoleman673]

Quadruple aught is what every calls it here

[@isthismymind7322]

Hawktuah

[@nocturnechanson]

That C-4 glitch would have been helpful dealing with Vault 19. 😅

[@larrylightfoot22222]

When i was younger, i accidentlaly did the ammo glitch with the c-finder and had a near endless supply of orbital lazers, it was certainly an event

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

YEAH!!! LET'S GOOOOOOO Man, the ammo swap glitch is literally a life saver! 4:24 WHAT NO WAY IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS MULTIPLE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I wonder if it works with regular weapons, or if it only does this with explosive weapons...

[@HomeCookinMTG]

You could theoretically loot multiples of certain unique weapons (Lucky Specifically comes to mind, and if bodies count as containers, you might be able to do it with the unique cowboy repeater)

[@capt.rezzec300]

15:40 easiest way to do this is set luck to 10 at the beginning and clear out all 3 casinos. They all kick you out at around 10,000 in profit (I think the lux is more and Gomorrah is a bit less) so you just need the remaining 3k or so. (Which with dlc starts you pretty wealthy bc of the grenade launcher, 10mm, and free armors)

[@ChrisMortJr.]

The infinite xp chet exploit also gives infinite 9mm which can be hotkey swapped into any weapon, including the laser detonator from Lonesome Road which makes it do damage

[@gomg0mg0m]

This video seems like it could be utilized but future runners so heres some timestamps 0:32 Perk Requirement Exploit 3:10 Ammo Swap 6:29 Reload Dash 8:26 Speed Cripple 10:58 Infinite EXP 14:08 Infinite Caps 17:21 Item Duplicating 20:44 Ghost Duplicating

[@betterthenyourFeathers]

Your timing truly made my achievement run more fun, I needed more money for my money.

[@xxarcangelxx143]

My favorite exploit is being able to max out or get close to max out my skills as I leave good springs. Open your pip boy right as the rebuild character menu pops up and just keep choosing the skilled trait until the character creator menu pops up.

[@xxarcangelxx143]

My instructions I made for myself. Save before leaving the beginning area and get as close to the part before the rebuild character menu pops up and try to get the pipboy up as the menu pops up at the same time. Now choose the skilled trait and and now the menu will keep popping up and repeat the skilled trait for free skill points until the character creator menu pops up. The lower the pipboy is when you get it, the better.

[@youtubersdigest]

I use 3 glitches with every Playthrough: the goodsprings glitch, the ammo glitch and the casino caps glitch. I also generally end up using the .357 magnum glitch at some point but it’s not a regular for obvious reasons😂

[@abyss9316]

Probably my favorite exploit is getting out of bounds at searchlight t e airport in under an hour of playing the game without leveling up without killing one enemy you can get to the nellis Air Force Base as well as the fort and bypass huge portions of the game not to mention the infinite ammunition and caps glitch at camp guardian caves

[@Dekmakinson9]

How did I not realize that the level up was broken like that. It’s so obviously flawed.

[@thephilosophyminor]

Here’s also a skill point exploit letting you have 100 in all skills when you rebuild your character when you leave goodsprings

[@lukeawsomeness2359]

The second one is not niche, you can make your shotgun shoot explosive shotgun shells or make a rocket shoot multiple rockets or use it to duplicate C-4, it has many uses.

[@SalvagedCowboy]

I now possess forbidden knowledge.

[@DMonkeyPlays]

Can the speed cripple be stacked?

[@sovietmaori]

i like the ammo swap cos then i can pretend to be a fireball throwing wizard

[@TheA53ford]

Actually there is a way to save falling to your death on console. I remember doing it in Zion think it was manual save close to ground then reload and it worked

[@Opolotic]

Exiting good springs with 50 level up perks:

[@Food4Animals]

THIS THIS is what makes me happy

[@renufus11]

Oh I needed another reason to restart new Vegas

[@koopaking6148]

Survival isn't the best skill even in hardcore anyway... The only time it is useful is if you fast travel/ wait a very large amount of time and you want to slightly reduce the amount you need to eat or drink too prevent death

[@ImMaccathiel]

Angela Williams at McCarran also gives infinite xp

[@Alex_Turner]

what about 100 in all stats at the start of the game?

[@7.62AR]

Hi norte :D

[@popereptillianlord6174]

ive never beat any game or played a game using exploits, just never saw the point of cheating in single player games lmao

[@Seammus1]

Definitely going to try the ammo swap/duplicate exploit.

[@SuperDeeredriver]

It's all fun and games till the currier shows up with his .50bmg shotgun load

[@putinsoupin5094]

Just don’t use that exploit with the c finder, it completely broke it in my game, now the targeting laser just randomly shows up even if im not using it

[@Beats-sx1ch]

I always did it for ammo types I thought made sense for certain weapons that never had a specialty ammo in game

[@MrHathaway1337]

No C-4 tower in the video? Shameful.

[@joseluislopez7511]

FNV remastered for the Switch two

[@funrun07haan50]

Legion money easy go hunting with boone

[@PhantomBixbite]

I don't know how many exploits I use during my casual playthroughs, probably a few really

[@dizzyluna599]

Yo

[@creepersammyb2926]

yO

[@funrun07haan50]

Noice another video🎉💙💯

[@funrun07haan50]

Love fallout vids and when i see new vegas i need to click

[@rossmunro7084]

BIG question. Why not just enjoy the game. Instead of all these stupid wasy to cheese it? a game is about fun and your vid is just saying how to destroy fun

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

Well for me, I straight up don't find anything fun unless I can break the game in some way. For people new to the game, they probably shouldn't use exploits like this, which I unfortunately did (I think) when I first played New Vegas. That's probably why Fallout 3 is still fun to me after playing it for nearly a decade. I never used any glitch or exploit.

[@wraithlord9879]

Absolutely love finding ways to break games. Just because you don't find it fun doesn't mean others don't.

[@a.grimes4202]

Sorry for not wanting to suffer through all of HC mode difficulty’s BS . I didn’t know that affected more people than just me, how selfish I was. *🙃*

[@Beats-sx1ch]

​@@a.grimes4202To be honest hardcore is not very difficult. More inconvenient than anything really, less carry weight to go around and more deliberate behavior in combat is all I can think of

[@Beats-sx1ch]

I agree entirely with the sentiment. Personally cheats in games sap the fun right out of it but having played this game for half my life some of these little exploits are fun in a playthrough.

[@smegintheheads822]

If you want to sell all the leather armour and 9mm ammo, drop the leather armour and pick it up so your holding it in front of you and not in your inventory, go gun runners and just wait 3 days and keep selling more, best place as they have 8k caps to get plus you can start buying all the weapon mods, gun runner arsenal weapons and ammo.

[@MrMeatHook]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the double perk glitch.
