Get the Best Gear at the Start of Fallout 2

When it comes to the build in Fallout 2, I agree this is not a super viable one. Especially for the long haul with implants and such. I encourage people in the video to customize it to their playstyle. Regarding the strength stat, I like having a higher carry weight, which is why I would go higher. As with this build, it makes it 10 with the armor and I was looking to make a video showcasing this. The beauty of the classic Fallout games involves learning about how these builds work and trying different things. Even if they don't work or seem silly, it's all just good fun. For the newer players that want a super viable build. I will be covering those in a future video, especially since the games are on Game Pass now. I appreciate all of the feedback and I look forward to learning more from the community as I go.

You only need about 6 max strength since the power armour gives you either a +3 if normal power armour or +4 if you get the advanced power armour like in this video.

I literally just beat the game for the first time a couple of hours ago lmao

You can also get 2 bozars at the NCR. Look for a tent with 2 dudes guarding it and you can just pickpocket them to get both bozars and some free ammo.

I’m so happy mantis is uploading fallout 2 content cuz I just started a few days ago and I already have 15 hours and beat the game.

I think you’re the first person I’ve heard say: “avoid the gifted trait”.

You can also loot worn armour off of unconscious companions. This allows you to have a full human companion group and have them all(including you) wearing the exact same Enclave Mk. II power armour. They will all maintain the stats of the armour until they level up. You will have to wear the armour and I don't think there is anyway to glitch it for yourself.

You could’ve mentioned that the road to Navarro would be fucking insanity

If I recall correctly - hell, it has been almost 15 years since I last played the game properly - you could also get the Bozar quite easily from the NCR. Just outside of shady sands where the caravans are located at, there are some guards there in combat armor. With enough of a sneak skill, yoh can just steal the Bozar off them as for whatever reason they don't have it equipped. I have no idea if this is common knowledge about the game or not. But hey, as I said, last I played it was 15 years ago, I might just start a new playthrough today... The mo' you know.

so glad TK is posting Fallout 2 my personal favorite especially during my 5th playthrough

I've played this game since its release back in the days, and tried many, many builds, maybe all of them. I DO recommand a max strength, dexterity, luck / min intelligence and charisma build. Go full melee combat, and high kick your way to the final boss while being unable to communicate with most the npcs, except for grunts like "euuuuh..." As soon as you can, increase melee damage and critical, reduce AP cost. Then, everything that moves, target the eyes or groin and enjoy the death description. You will miss a lot of quests, but also achieve some crazy stuff. In New Reno, I literally killed all four boxing opponents with a single punch. Embrace the power of stupidity and become a critical powerhouse.

this is great if you played fallout 2 before, but I’d recommend playing until you discover where navarro is for the first time, makes the game a bit too easy for a first play through

>That Pop up fact after seeing their E3 im pretty sure they are gonna recycle the visited places, not new ones.

This sent me waaay back in time when I was a kid finishing my first playthrough of Fo2 and then a friend told me to play again and just run straight down to San Farn after Arroyo and do the quests for Enclave and BoS gear.

I use to do this all the time when I was a teenager. You can spam "A" to start the combat before the enemies start. With 10 agility you'll get two full moves to run away. End combat. Rinse repeat and wipe your hands on pants.

this is forbidden fallout 2 knowledge ive done it forever

You've posted a lot more videos then you should have, then again you haven't met Oxhorn either. Your ride's over, Mantis. Time to get demonetized

Its so strange to see a quantifiable version of a start I've been doing for years off the cuff.

In patched vesrsion, as well as in Killap's Restoration Project, which is highly recommended to play, you cannot find San Fran even by stumbling at its location on the map before asking about its whereabouts at the Malamut saloon in Redding. And you cannot steal your money back from vendors in San Fran. All of this, as well as limitless money from selling uranium ore in Broken Hills or taking infinite outdoorsman lessons from Smiley in Klamath only work in an unpached version of Fallout 2. You can, hovewer, and must, steal the Gauss rifle from a guy at the bar on Poseidon tanker, as well as everything from people roaming around on the main deck)

You can also get the BOZAR by pickpocketing a guard in front of the NCR if you feel like it. And technically you can run directly to Navarro and take the armor before accepting the quest.
