Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas With Only Throwables?

- čas přidán 22. 06. 2024
- New Vegas achieved a lot things, from its in-depth story to its amazing DLC's, the game had brought a lot of new stuff to the Fallout franchise. However one of the most important things New Vegas brought, was the introduction of a whole new range of throwable weapons... Naturally this led to the question at hand, is it possible to beat New Vegas whilst only using these said Throwable Weapons?
This video was inspired by the growing amount of "can you beat" Fallout videos which have been spearheaded by both Nerbit and Mitten Squad - I had a really fun time running this challenge.

Obviously this video was inspired by the works of Mitten Squad and Nerbit. Love BOTH of their content - really inspired me into the video making process...

It' insane how there are so many different ways to play Fallout: New Vegas. I've been binging all Can you beat videos from all of you and I'm still certain that you're far from running out of ideas.
This was a joy to watch mate, the video was put together wonderfully. Feels professional compared to most other youtube channels that make challenge videos, not that I don't enjoy them all the same.
having found you off the sidebar of a nerbit video, this makes me very happy
glad too ya gave credit too em@! , great video btw man keep up the great work!
I like there content but they take the easy way out and play on normal or even on easy sometimes, just isn’t as entertaining as the harder challenges
Let's be honest here. The most impressive part of this run was having 9 luck and still somehow losing money at the casinos. I honestly didn't know that was possible. Well played Jabo.
im trying to get the sierra madre voucher and i gotta admit that my luck still makes me lose money in the slots,still you get the overall win
@@gladyspenaloza7722 really? Slots is how I cheat the casino win limit.
Say the limit is 10K.
I'll play blackjack until I have a winnings total of around 9,700.
Pop a quick save and go play slots until you hit a jackpot worth 3K+ before losing more than 700. If I get to 9000 without hitting a big jackpot, I'll reload that save. Cool way to get the casinos for a few thousand more caps each
How tf
when i go high luck my irl luck is still so bad that i lose a decent majority
@@killinfantsons3193 😭
Funnily enough, you would of gotten a good supply of throwing spears by killing Legion instead of joining them.
Not to mention a very specific Challenge in-game: "Even A God-King Can Bleed".
True. But legion is to tanky.
Thats exactly what i was thinking, siding with yes man wouldve been the better idea
I kept expecting him to turn on Caesar and take the Mohave for himself, would've suited an unhinged bomb toating maniac imo. I wouldn't imagine that a character like that would bow to a bunch of guys with sticks.
I think he should have just the retrivable throwables mod. I don't count that as cheating cause the biggest issue becomes getting the stuff in the first place
The mfc cluster grenades are devastatingly strong. Easily one shots a Sentry Bot and is one of my favorite throwables. To be fair, its basically the mfc Grenade but you throw like 8 of them at once.
I used about 8 of those and a Fat-Mine to 1 shot the legate
@@vincentstark4496 That sounds like overkill but now I want to try it because it also sounds like fun.
@@jonathanclarkson7379 the 1 downside is I couldn't find his corpse, so either it got launched all the way to the fort, or I completely vaporized him.
@@vincentstark4496 I would like to think it was both. Somewhere outside the boundary of the Fort, floating in mid air, was an ash pile.
While doing a house playthrough, I killed the Legate (with bombs) and then tossed like 75 MFC Clusters by the gate Oliver enters through. The General and his crew walk in but since it’s scripted it didn’t set them off. As soon as Oliver was done talking, all 450 or so MFC grenades went off at once. My computer nearly died too, and when it finally stopped processing explosions Oliver and the Ranger Vets were just gone. Nowhere to be seen. I like to imagine that they sailed back to California
Didn’t work with Yes Man, the Securitrons set them off early.
I remember watching the VOD during the Honest Hearts section, funniest part had to have been when one of the White legs, near the Red Gate, just snatched up the Survivalist Rifle and proceeded to bully Jabo, who at this point had close to non throwables.
Do h’what?
We have the same name
@@zanethompson3191 wrong
@@Awesomewithazzane and zane, they have the same name.
@@Awesomewithaz ☝️🤓 “wrong”
Jabo: can you beat FONV with X weapon?
Also Jabo: you can beat it without anything so of course you can.
Doing a explosive only run because of this play through.
Do you mean only thrown explosives or anything with a boom? Cuz on the 2nd it won't be much of a struggle
@@bloodangel19 any big boom
@@House0Brick Consider not killing the Boomers, they have a vendor a lot of people don't even know exists in the building across from Loyal's workshop. I don't know how many times I played through the game before I made good use of the grenade machingun (spoiler alert, it wrecks motherfuckers.)
Step 1: Get a stealth boy. Step 2: Go to Dead Wind Cavern and get Mercy. Step 3: Get Ammo. Step 4: Profit.
Most fun I've had on nv was melee and explosive build.mfc clusters were probably my favourite
I think all these "Can you beat New Vegas with just" type challenges should treat the speech skill as a weapon, it's that overpowered.
Speech is for nerds
That's my first playthrough basically. Trying my best to mix guns and speech to have the Blondie from the Dollars Trilogy build.
Speech, repair, and lock pick are always maxed out for me. I feel naked without them
The speech skill is so strong, that it is its own type of weapon. They do treat it as a sort of weapon. So, it's excluded from these challenge runs.
@@FecalMatadorcan’t forget sneak for Elijah
I always feel confuse that some player thought the strip robotguard will took away 2000 caps. The guard actually is just take a peek at player's "wallet" to be sure you are rich enough to gamble, not let any hobo sneak in.
I thought that my first playthrough and I was actually pissed he didn't take it but hey I kept the money and kicked ass so I don't mind
I wasted a king favor on a pass to the strip when I coulda got a bunch of caps for that lol
To be fair, that's how things generally tend to work in RPGs - if you're being checked for money, they're generally being taken away
It took SEVERAL playthroughs before I figured that out.
@@MicheallikeMJ same here
Imo the most rare weapons to appear before me are thrown like throwing spears knives and the hatchet that only found twice.
One thing F:NV needed was a way to craft (melee) throwing weapons out of scrap metal or miscellaneous items at a workbench. If it's a balancing issue, then make it 'cost' a perk, like 'Mad Bomber' or 'Hand Loader/Vigilant Recycler'
You can craft Cosmic Knife Spears which are basically just Throwing Spears
@@smitegod2577 Sadly not. The _craftable_ Cosmic Knife Spears are the non-throwing variety you make by actually combining a throwing spear with more cosmic knives, making a 2-handed melee weapon
@@Mikey-xz4vn ah I didn't know that. Legit thought they were just buffed throwing Spears when I saw them in the workbench lol.
@@smitegod2577 I thought the same thing when I first played Dead Money ;__;
Agreed. The throwable "melee" weapons always felt like a really undercooked and borderline useless part of the otherwise amazing weapon sandbox.
Surely someone has made a mod to flesh out this category of weapon.
There are two things that make this run possible without Mad Bomber.
The Boomers offer a really good stock of explosives, their storage has a bunch available.
Also by going legion you doomed the throwing melee weapon part of the run. The best source of throwing spears is legionnaires. You could have farmed a bunch before getting the chip and then gone that run anyway, really.
VATS with grenades is very helpful because it locks the target of the grenade in place, making it very likely for them to take point blank damage.
Finally, you need sneak for throwing weapons
It is frustrating that you can’t buy Legion specific weapons from them; throwing spears, knives, anti venom and poisons, things that help them fight. It’s so lame
@@quinnlee-miller9792 I agree, I’ve always wondered where is the legion supply house? I wanna buy armors, weapons, ammo crafting materials, ect
Loved at the end of the run that Jabo streamed where he almost pooped the bed fighting General Oliver when he ran out of healing items, and had to gorge himself on water and fight like a rat to win.
Literally watched so many of these challenge vids (and love them everytime) and this was the first NV run (or video I've seen in general) to point out the just fucking leg it strat to get into the strip so kudos for actually showing me smth new
Jabo runs across the desert, hassles a robot, commits a war crime, walks near a man, becomes more convincing to others because of it, hassles another vendor, throwing knifes 3 bottles, and then pins an old man’s head to a wall with a spear.
Reward: 2 Sticks of Dynamite
Kinda disappointed that you went to Zion and didn't get the desert ranger armour, it's actually the best medium armour that you don't have to go to lonesome road to get
Where is that?
@SkullpunkArt it's in a cave in the northern part of the map. If I remember correctly it's right near the sorrows camp but I could be wrong on it
The Armour is basically ranger Armour but it's factionless
@@RM10Prod. thanks!
Incredibly interesting run, never even heard of mfc grenades. You should do more of the DLCs, Dead Money might be chalked but OWB would be cool I think.
Your first problem was not using stealth all the time; each throwing knife is worth much more when it's taking out an enemy with a single knife, even more so when you're using spear or tomahawks. :P
Killed benny with a flying fuck.
I have 100+ hours in this game and i didn't even know throwing knives existed
That's cause their both rare and pieces of shit, I tired repeatedly to get them to work but I couldn't even take out one NPCs with it
Yeah me too pal, me too
Just FYI, you can complete the tutorial simply by knocking the bottles off the fence, they dont have to be shot off. Punching them off works just as well, and while I've ever tried it with throwables, I have with grenade launcher (thanks NV Randomizer) and it did work. You just have to knock 3 bottles off the fence to complete the first step of Sunny's quest.
A tomahawk created out of a pipe and some blades is the most metal thing I’ve seen all day. Can’t believe I never looked at those in my hundreds of hours of playtime.
8:15 he's not wrong tho. kinda true
I feel like an ncr run would've probably been easier just because you'd be able to loot dead legion
Honestly i still wish there were shurikens or thrown clubs
I found your channel a couple of months ago and i just wanted to say i absolutely love your content. Keep it up!
You threw your back on Benny. It's a valid run.
Love your content! I'm glad you someone's finally talking about how great mfc grenades are in fallout new vegas
I love these kind of challenges, and to see you do one is awesome, just love your commentary anyway, great video as always! Early Congrats on 50k subs!
PLEASE do more stream highlights and such,
I don’t have the time to sit down and watch full streams but I absolutely love the content.
look maaaa, another Jabo banger
I've only just started wasthing these "can you beat..." challenge videos. Didn't know new uploads would be posted so often. This is a good one too.
Funny how this challenge is my usual play style. All around great video!
I remember watching the life stream of this it was really great, jabo and chat trying to figure out how the run wouldn´t die and where to get throwing weapons, it was great fun, everyone should check out the stream over at twitch
its good to see you grow keep up the good work and goodluck
Loved the video. Also you put me in my feels playing that MW2 music
Good editing, good video, keep doing the good content my guy 😃👍
Love videos like this, you should do more!
I've been watching a whole bunch of yours and Nerbit's Fallout videos recently. I really need to play New Vegas. I have a couple hundred hours in Fallout 4. I needa go back in time a lil to New Vegas, your videos just make it look so fun and a great game!
Make sure to take a look at a couple guides on how to stabilize the game. Because it runs on an older engine, it's very prone to crashes.
Don't forget to hop over to MittenSquad's channel, too!
Ya got a sub from me on the "Fun Facts with Jabo" section alone, great work dude! That was really cool! I've been a fan of the franchise since high school when FO3 dropped & I've never looked back.
can you do "can you beat fallout new vegas by only using weapons that deal fire damage (or as a pyromanic)"
as cook cook
That's super easy. All you'll need to do is to spec into melee/energy weapon or explosives.
I tried a pyro build and they're actually pretty damn powerful. Super-Heated Saturnite fist and Cleansing Flame put in work with the Pyromaniac Perk.
May I remind you that Cleansing Flame/Gehenna couple with Pyromaniac shoved into an explosive/Energy/melee build are extremely broken
Love this new editing style
Kudos to your dedication!! This game is great ❤
I havent played fnv for a while but ive done damn near every playthrough you can think of on xbox 360 (no mods ever) mostly cuz i had the thick ass book for the game and i tried every build and wanted to get every single ending.
Throwing weapons only (NOT counting explosives) was fun to me. Took a while to get use it tho.
Was just thinking about this channel. He'll yeah!
He will indeed yeah
@@milodmulholland7448 lol
good editing. good choice on your inspirations to!
For the early game there’s an encounter between traveling merchants and legion. Usually the legion soldiers carry throwing spears and they almost always lose.
The choice of Yakuza 0 song is on point
Loved the Blockbusters theme song in the background there 👍
Yo just as I got sick you come out with another banger to kill some time.
Nice little junkrat reference at 14:35
When I saw "Big Arms?" as the character's name, I was reminded of a quest in Runescape called "My Arm's Big Adventure" in which a troll named "My Arm" (As for some ungodly reason trolls in Runescape are named after the first thing they try to eat) learns to be a farmer on a mountain growing what are basically super potatoes.
(I haven't played this quest in ages so I have no idea how accurate I was with the summary but it should be somewhat close.)
I'm new to the channel. Just subscribed yesterday. Big fan of Fallout. Thanks for bringing great content. (And, I haven't beaten any of the games yet, lol)
7:23 nice job evading that feral windbrahmin ambush.
amazing editing
That's so funny because i tried my hand at this challenge, before my only controller broke, all while having both pairs of hit squads after me lol Mad Bomber and the Brotherhood's tribute crate were my best friend. Anyway great work on the video!
I love it that u have Fable music in the background🥰
I’m just here for the Throwing Spears.
He killed benny by throwing it back.
Great video
When I saw the “when in doubt” my immediate thoughts were the sierra madre and all I could feel was fear, thankfully you chose a much easier option
This sounds like a really fun playthrough
You craft a ton of MFC grenades, pair it up with the cannibal perk so you never run out of health and also sell all of the loot you are not using to fund all your chem reserves
You could also try to kill all of the powder ganger camps at the start of the game to get more dynamite, maybe even kill everyone at the correctional facility
Cannibal is a great plan on paper, but it just becomes too tedious to watch the animation, even with the dine and dash option
need to check out your twitch cuz your my favorite fallout content creator
I love challenge runs like this cause more often than not the anwser is 'yes'.
Cause New Vegas has no real fail-states. Long as you're good enough (or in this case aim well enough and hope that the game doesn't screw you over with not counting hits) you win.
Congratulations to 50K subs.
I thought this was a Mitten Squad video for a good two seconds
0:30 ok that title transition was sick 😭
7:20 man that tumbleweed was running for its life like you were
Look how much your channel has grown
I like these type of videoes alot, but stream highlights are also really funny too. I hope like that you aim for a good balance of them
Now that was a good intro
great video Mr Jabo
Get back to work chase
What a beautiful use of the Yakuza 0 cabaret make over music.
Nice video as usual, Jabo :D
Just wanted to say that you can even beat FO:NV only using the 10 throwing spears that you get thanks to the Tribal Pack from the Courier's Stash.
Kind regards 😊
4:30 but when you sneak thru black mountain you come across a dead ncr soldier whose outfit you can take an wear to access the monorail without being shot
I would have named my courier “Yeetus Deletus” but, Big Arms? is good too.
That NCR body landed nicely 👌
Whiteglove guard "whatcha got there?" Jabo dragging behind him a massive sack full of explosives "nothing"
i was going to ask one of the other "can you beat fallout" youtubers to do this yesterday
I dont know how well it would do, youtube wise, but seeing Kane from command and conquer in the background makes me think you should do a video on Kanes Wrath
I got deja vu. I did most things in the same way in my legion playthrough, I even killed many of the npcs you did, and used melee/throwables most of the time, to fit in with my fellow legionaries.
The only major difference was that I spared benny after sleeping with him and then crucified him at the fort lol.
Wake up honey new Jabo just dropped
Mad Bomber is a ridiculous perk, and iirc there's a grenade you can craft that tosses a bunch of tiny grenades. Absolute room clearer,.
The MFC cluster is also really great
watching this i can almost hear his voice and it makes me smile. this is where the real game begins
I miss this Jabo
Your mistake was siding with the Legion. Respawning Legion soldiers are an amazing source of throwing spears
that halo 3 odst track 'deference for darkness' is so fire
4:00 you can even ignore the guard aggro if you wait till the guard shift change and approach during the brief period of the day / night cycle where the door to the monorail is unguarded. There are day and night guards, so there are two of these shift changes each in game day.
Another easy way into the strip, when the securitron is rolling toward you, just back away far enough that the others won’t see you, kill it, and take the key and just waltz in. The others will attack you but not once you’re inside
2 years late but small tip with the monorail bypass. If you waltz in with NCR armour on you can get into the strip with no one firing at you at all. There’s a dead NCR trooper out near camp mccarran you can loot. And if you can’t find him it’s pretty easy to bait fiends into gunfights with the NCR. Sometimes resulting in a trooper death.
6:26 "Look out!!" *runs towards it*
Amazing Mad Bomber ftw!!
This video makes me want to try an explosives build now.
Wait! This isn't mitten squad! Good video.
Would've thought your first plan would be to farm cosmic throwing spears from Dead Money, but hey good video either way.
Im a simple man i see jabo in the sub box i like it
Slightly miffed you didn't grab the holy hand grenades
I see you did hard “c” Caesar. Yeah sounds like a Legion play through.
Usually I pronounce it with a soft c, but... I couldn't do that whilst doing a Legion playthrough.
The fuckin guy man...
My challenge is to not die of starvation
Plan 1- lick windows for moisture
Plan 2- stay really really still for a long time
Plan 3- do some research on my challenge and... Oh it's... It's actually that easy
