There is no penalty now, so the only difference is which DR type you have, and weight. The DR is nice, but who hits a guy they never see?Īm I missing something by not using metal armor pieces in Fallout 4? I've used the "lightweight metal armor" from one of the DLCs as an early solution, but I generally just take the leather and let Boone or Veronica rock the metal.įor a lower-ST sniper? AGI is more important, and you probably don't want the weight. If I were playing a melee-only build, or even a melee-heavy build, I'd give the metal armors a look there. YMMV.ĪGI is slightly less important to melee builds in NV as well, which makes the DT more important, as lots of enemies use shotguns (reduced damage due to shot and higher DT). In FO3, the only benefit is the higher DR. It's the weight that is the big one - FO2 was much less lenient about what you could carry, and bringing companions as packmules (with a side of friendly-fire-on-burst-mode - thanks, Sulik) was an acceptable and almost expected thing. Yes, in 1(?)/2 the metal armor (and metal armor mk ii - the polished stuff) is basically a straight upgrade to leather (or leather mk II) if you can carry it and handle the weight. Better metal than nothing.ĭoes it have a valuable niche in any of the other games (i.e. You'll also need to fire up New Vegas through Steam or GOG the regular way once for xNVSE's loader to work.Yes, I've periodically used it in prior games, and as filler in FO4 when I have gaps. I recommend making a shortcut of this file and putting it on your desktop. NOTE: For xNVSE to take effect, you'll need to launch New Vegas with the nvse_loader.exe file that comes with this mod. The download page has installation instructions. This mod extends the scripting capabilities of the vanilla game, which is necessary for making many popular mods work. Next up, you'll want the newest version of the New Vegas Script Extender, or xNVSE. If desired, you can override LOOT's optimization to make manual tweaks to your load order yourself (this shouldn't be necessary for the mods in this list). This program automatically reorganizes your load order to make it as stable as possible. A great tool to pair with your mod manager is the Load Order Optimization Tool, or LOOT. This will allow New Vegas to read and accept any texture mods you install (we'll get to those later). Then go to Settings > Workarounds > BSA Redirection and toggle it.
After installing it, log in, and select New Vegas as the game you're modding. I highly recommend Vortex since it has a great UI and is very easy to use.
These tools automatically handle most mods' installation, so you don't have to dig around in-game files - simply drag-and-drop compressed mod files, and the mod manager will do the rest.
The first thing you need is a Nexus Mods account, the website where most mods are posted.
