Easy experience hints:-To easily gain experience, you will need 30
Speech skill and neutral or friendly with NCR. Go to Camp McCarran, and
talk to Sergeant Bitter-Root in one of the tents. Ask him about his
name, and then an option will display for a 30 Speech skill attempt. You
can keep saying “Bitter-Root. You have an unusual name.”, and each time
you say it, you can do the Speech attempt again. Simply say
“Bitter-Root. You have an unusual name.”, do the Speech attempt, ask to
talk about something else, and then repeat as desired.-This trick
requires 30 Speech skill or the “Confirmed Bachelor” perk and friendly
with NCR. Go to HELIOS One, and a woman will talk to you. After she
allows you access to HELIOS One, you will be able to start the “That
Lucky Old Sun” mission. Proceed with the mission, and talk to Fantastic
and Ignacio Rivas. While talking to Rivas, make sure you get him to
reveal that he is a Follower of the Apocalypse by using Speech or
Confirmed Bachelor, and agree with his ideals about peace or say you are
neutral. Continue with the mission until you get to the point where you
activate the Mainframe Terminal. Configure the Power Grid to “5. Full
Region (Emergency Output Level)”. Finish the mission by hitting the
Reflector Control Panel outside on top of the tower. Go back to Ignacio
Rivas, and choose the “I overloaded the plant. No one…..” option. That
option will never disappear. Keep selecting that option to get 350 XP, 3
Stimpacks, and 2 Doctor’s Bags.-After reaching a Speech skill of
50, you can persuade Old Ben to offer his escort services to the local
bar. Old Ben is sitting by a fire close to The King headquarters in
Freeside. You will get 61 XP each time you complete this Speech
Challenge. If you follow him back to the bar afterwards and wait until
he sits down, you can talk to him again and repeat the same Speech
Challenge again as many times as desired. -This trick requires a
high Speech skill and 8 Intelligence. Go to the Camp McCarran Terminal
building inside Camp McCarran. Talk to the guy at the far end of the
building, in the left corner. He is the leader and will give you
multiple quests. Accept the interrogation quest, then go meet with the
woman upstairs to begin the quest. When you get in the room to talk to
Sirus, pick the “Intelligence” option first, the “Speech” option next,
and then the “Intelligence” option. Any of the three “Intelligence”
options work. Then, select the “Speech” option, and cycle through the
“Intelligence” options. You will gain 50 XP each time that you cycle
through the options.-This trick requires a Medicine skill of at least 35. Once your character
gains access to the main strip, find Victor outside the Lucky 38
casino. He will tell you that Mr. House wants to meet you. Follow him
inside and go up the elevator. Speak with Mr. House (the giant
television face that looks like Howard Hughes). Find the dialogue choice
pertaining to needing to ask him a few questions. Then, ask “Who
exactly are you, Mr. House?”, then select “You appear to be a computer,
not a man”. After that, select the Medicine skill check response, “The
lifespan you’re claiming is impossible, except for ghouls and super
mutants.” After that, you will be awarded 35 experience points (or 39
experience points if you have the Swift Learner perk). Repeat as
desired.
-Go to a casino and play roulette. No matter if you win or lose, you will gain 100 experience points.Unlimited caps:Go to a weapons or
armor merchant that has two of the same weapon or armor for sale.
Purchase the overall most expensive item at the lowest condition. For
instance, if he has two Raider Sadist Armors at 35% and 75%, but also
has two Flamers at 15% and 7%, then choose the Flamers. Purchase the
cheapest of the two items, and then immediately sell it back to the
merchant. Purchase it again and sell it back. On the second or third
time you sell it and buy it back again, it will appear in you inventory
at 100% condition. Sell it back to them, and it will reappear in their
inventory at the original low % condition. Buy it again, and it will
appear at 100% condition. Repeat this until they run out of money.In Guardian Peak you will meet an NCR soldier who is wounded. Through
some Speech checks, you can get him to give you his gun for escorting
him out of the cave. When you get to the entrance of the cave with him,
he will speak and you can continuously ask for his rifle, which he will
give you along with ammunition. Note: This is best done after earning
the perk that allows for over encumbered fast travel.Switching ammunition:When you have more than one type of ammunition for a weapon, press UP to switch ammo types.Monorail entry:In
Camp McCarran where the monorail directly to the strip is located, you
can gain entry to the monorail. Take the long way around and stay as
close to the vending machines as possible. Follow the wall around the
back way. Make sure the other soldier cannot see you. Crouch and sneak
up to this soldier from behind. You may hear the phrase indicating that
if you get any closer they will have to shoot you. However, as long as
you remain hidden, it may flash “Detected” briefly for a few times. As
soon as you are close enough to the door, you can go through it and take
a monorail directly to the strip. Be careful when returning to the
monorail from the strip; you will probably be shot. However as soon as
you enter the monorail it resets, and you can again ride it back to the
strip. By using this trick you can bypass many quests, and can skip
directly to meeting Mr. House and finding the person who shot you.Thump-Thump location:Thump-Thump is a grenade launcher that is located where all the ants are found, underneath the solar panels when you help the Boomers.Kill people without receiving bad karma:
To kill people without receiving bad karma, get a large object that you
can push or pick up. Drop it next to a standing NPC that is not leaning
against a wall, doing push-ups, or sitting. Run against the object and
it will damage the NPC without making them hostile or causing you to
lose reputation.Missing explosive skill book:Every Skill has a designated skill book, but one seems to be missing. There appears to only be three explosive skill books where there are supposed to be four. This last skill book can be found on the desk in the office of the “Ranger Station Foxtrot”, whereas the other three can be found in “Nellis Air Force Base”, “Sloan”, and “Mojave Outpost”.Enemies catch on fire without firing weapon:Use
the .50 machine gun incendiary ammunition on the anti-materiel rifle.
Target an enemy with V.A.T.S. The enemy will catch on fire without even
firing at them.Easy stealing:Pick
up an item by clicking the right-analog stick, and then drag it anywhere desired such as
out of the eyesight of the shopkeeper. Press A to add it to your
inventory.Better quality items:Find a vendor that has
two of the same items, but different quality. If you buy the cheaper
quality item, you will still get the higher quality item.Weapon locations:

the “I have some medical supplies to drop off” option. There will then
be three options; choose the “Rad-Away” option, as it is the easiest one
of the three to find. You only need to leave one thing if you do not

fame. After you give them the supplies, choose the “I’d like to buy

can get if desired, but they will not regenerate. In the supply list,
you can find the magazines. Buy any desired magazines, and then exit.
You can then choose the option to give med supplies again. This time you
do not need to give them anything; simply choose the “Never mind”
option. Go back to “Buy medical supplies”, and you can repeat the
process for more magazines. You repeat this as many times as desired as
long as you choose to drop off supplies first. You can even come back to
do it again at a later time. You can get the following magazines:
Fix-in’ Things (Repair 10), Lad’s Life (Survival 10), Meeting People
(Speech 10), Programmer’s Digest (Science 10), Salesman Weekly (Barter

When you arrive at the Mohave Outpost to get the pardon for the new sheriff of Primm, during the conversation with Major Knight a Confirmed Bachelor speech option is available. Select it, and whenever you do repairs through him, the item gets repaired to your repair level but you do not lose any caps. Use this with an unlimited caps trick, and your player can have all items at 100% condition.”Dead Money” Steal All 37 Gold Bars:In the DLC “Dead Money” do the following to steal all 37 Gold Bars. You will need a few C4s and a Detonator. In the final part of the game you will enter a vault with 37 gold bars weighing 35 pounds each. Each gold bar is worth 10.539 caps. Enter the vault and the door will seal behind you. Take everything in the room that you want to including the 36 gold bars on the table to your right and the 1 gold bar on the overseers desk. Deactivate the security system and activate the computer on the desk. Only read “Vera”, and do not access the file that shows up after you read it. Elijah will appear on the monitor, and convince him to meet you in the vault. When the conversation ends, leave the room immediately, and walk to the far right stairway. A blue force field will appear blocking your path. Plant the C4 at the bottom of those stairs and then press your body against the blue force field in the doorway. When Elijah stops speaking, for some reason you and he will switch places. Make sure he is on or close to the C4. Detonate and leave the same way you came. You will now have 37 Gold Bars worth a total of 389.943 Caps.Chinese Stealth Armor location:In Hoover Dam, go into the offices and find a room with radiation signs around it. In the room there are barrels of goo and stack of crates. Check the crates for the armor. Note: There are two sets, so you can make repairs.Winning at Caravan:Caravan decks have a minimum of 30 cards that can be purchased from merchants or looted from dead bodies. The goal is to select the cards that will get you between 22 and 26 consistently, while also giving you defensive cards to use against your opponent. First, get the following cards: 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, 6s, Kings, Jacks, Aces, and two Jokers. The Jacks, Aces and Jokers are defensive plays so use Jacks to remove cards from your opponent. Use Ace and Joker cards to remove all cards of your Ace’s suit. For example, an Ace of Spades and a Joker will eliminate all spades from the table. Kings will double whatever they are placed on. First lay down your highest or lowest cards first to start the “base” of your caravan. Note: Don’t use 10 9 8 because it results in 27; or 6 7 8 because it results in 21 (unless you put your Ace down after the 8 to make it 22). Every play between those are a win. You can get a ton of items and Caps by playing Caravan. Find vendors with lots of Caps and items. Purchase all the items you can afford from them, then challenge them to a few games of Caravan to win back all your money.Reloading hint:The cases are where the ammo gets filled into on the reloading table. The hull is the outside of the gun. The lead is the metal that makes the actual bullet. The powder is for the ammo, which goes inside of the cases. The primer is the object that is pushed into the bullet in the bottom to close it up on the reloading table.”Outstanding Orator” achievement hint:When your Speech is at 40, go to Camp Golf near Lake Las Vegas and accept the quest from the sergeant. Agree to O’Hanran’s method and convince everyone, with Mags being the last one. After convincing Mags to play nice, accept her method and go to the gun range to help them with their guns (45 skill required). Wait for them to start walking back to their tent, then talk to Razz and ask about squadmates. The speech challenge will be there. It will be easy to unlock the “Outstanding Orator” achievement, as well as experience points in increments of 40. When done, talk to the sergeant to complete the quest or talk to O’Hanran and ask about the squad. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull easter egg:Go south on the road out of Goodsprings about 100 yards to find a refrigerator at the base of a hill with a skeleton wearing a fedora inside.Star Wars easter egg:Go to the town of Nipton and walk to the right of the town hall’s front entrance to find a burned out building with a pair of burned corpses in front. The view is similar to the scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker finds the bodies of his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.No reset timer for roulette games:Actively play roulette and, while doing so, load your last saved game. If done correctly, you should be able to immediately play roulette again after loading the saved game, which? is useful for minimizing the amount of lost chips and maximizing winnings.Start with two 9mm SMGs:In the beginning of the game, when testing at the Vit-o-matic, move your intelligence to 10, or when? choosing skills, choose Repair. Note: At least 25 points in Repair is required.

Rex Location – Rex, a cyberdog belonging to The King, and can be found inside The King’s School Of Impersonation in Freeside. You will either need to pay 500 caps or have a 60 Speech skill level to get past Pacer who is guarding the door. You will get the 500 caps back when you talk to The King inside. You must complete the “G.I. Blues” quest given from The King before you get the “Nothin’ But A Hound Dog” quest from him, which is how you will be able to recruit Rex. It takes approximately 40 minutes to complete both of these quests.

After choosing the unconscious option, the Speech Check will be available again, but grayed out. However, you can still keep pressing A, and they will alternate. Even though the Speech Check is grayed out, it still counts as a pass.Euclid’s C-Finder location:Locate the field “gun” for the ARCHIMEDES weapon by entering the Freeside’s East Gate and finding the two children chasing each other (not chasing the mutated rat) during daylight. speak to the one possessing what appears to be a toy gun.

He’ll give you a gold pip boy.1984 easter egg:Say to the book chute that destroying prewar books is destroying culture and it will tell you that if its indoctrination module was installed it would handle you. However, since it is not installed, you will have to indoctrinate yourself and begin with a cage for your head and a bag of molerats. This is a reference to a torture/indoctrination method from George Orwell’s 1984.Wizard Of Oz easter egg:Your character will discover that his brain, spine, and heart have been removed, making him brainless (the scarecrow), heartless (the tin man), and spineless (the cowardly lion).Real .556 Sniper Rifle (Ratslayer) location:The Ratslayer can be found in the Broc Flower Caves located at the southeastern region, between Nipton and the Bloodborne Cave. To locate the cave without aid of the Explorer Perk, findthe Atomic Wrangler owner and talk to the sister Gerret. Accept the work of Debt Collector, then find a woman and persuade her to cough up the money. She’ll give you half of what she owes and gives you the exact location of the cave. In the cave, follow the tunnel until you find the cliff edge of the main chambers filled with massive rats. On the edges of the main chamber, follow it to a room where the Ratslayer is sitting on the desk to your left. Inside the rest of the room are lots of medical supplies (stimpaks, doctor bags, etc).Monty Python easter egg:Underneath one of the church houses in Camp Searchlight you can find a box of 5 holy hand grenades, an obvious reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. WARNING: Camp searchlight is irradiated and you must have the wild wasteland trait.Free and infinite caps, items, and more:Just like Fallout 3, there is a trading exploit to earn basicallyinfinite amounts of caps, items, repairs and ammunition. Just do the following steps:Step OneFind any shop-based trader and sell him anything in your inventory that you don’t need and complete the transaction. This will increase the amount of money he has.Step TwoFind something in your inventory that you have duplicates of or something that you and the shop keeper both have. Sell an item or two to the trader so he has two of them.Step ThreeMake sure that the two identical items are of different values once they are in the trader’s inventory. The bigger the difference in value, the better.Step FourNow purchase the cheaper of the two identical items and complete the transaction, but do not leave the trade session. Look for the item in your inventory. The item should have gone up in value dramatically and should be 100% repaired, even though when you sold the item initially it wasn’t! If it isn’t 100% repaired for whatever reason, sell the item back to him anyway and repeat steps 3-4, trying a different item if necessary.Step FiveNow you can sell the same item for a high price and buy it back at a low price until you have drained his money completely. If you want, you can hold onto the item as it will be fully repaired — simply keep it on the final round which will leave him with a small amount of money. Either sell the item back to him again once he is out of money, or if you are keeping it, sell him something else of high value and he will owe you that amount. The transaction price will go dim and remain at whatever amount of money he has left.Step SixSearch through the trader’s inventory and find stuff you need. Stimpaks, ammo, miscellaneous item, weapons and armor are all good. Eventually the transaction price will light up again and you may owe him a few caps depending on how much of his stuff you added to the deal. Complete the transaction.Step SevenWait three days and he will have new stock and around 650 caps. The longer you wait, the more robust his inventory will become and the more caps he’ll have for you to take when you’re ready to do this all over again.Note: Be sure to save while using this method since the game is prone to crashing during the transaction.Easy caps from Gun Runners:The Gun Runners store on the east side of New Vegas has a locked fence and a couple guard blocking the entrance to the “factory.” Pick the lock and the Gun Runners will start firing at you. Take them out and loot their bodies for Combat Armor, Hunting Rifles and Combat Helmets. All of these items are worth money, and each Gun runner has about 1,500-2,000 Caps worth of loot on their person. Enter the building to find more Runners to slay. After doing this, approach the Vend-Tron robot at the Gun Runner shop, who has 8,000 Caps to burn, and sell it your loot. Now, travel far away, wait for three in-game days and return to the area to find the Gun Runners alive and ripe for the “harvest.”Unique Armors:Perform the following tasks to obtain the unique armors:Gannon Family Tesla ArmorThe Gannon Family Tesla Armor is acquired during the personal quest for Arcade Gannon. When doing his quest and gathering all his allies, convince him to stay in Freeside for the duration of the battle. You need a VERY high speech ability — at least 80 speech. As a reward, he will give you the Gannon Family Tesla Armor, helmet and all. You need power armor training to wear this.Chinese Stealth ArmorThe Chinese stealth armor is located in the Hoover Dam offices. It’s in the room with the toxic barrels and green goop. Once you see the room, turn to your left. You should see several wooden crates. Inside one of these crates is two sets of Chinese Stealth Armor. Both weigh 20.00. Unfortunately, the invisibility thing the armor does in Fallout 3, is gone now — all it does is give you 5 sneak.T-51b Power ArmorTwo sets of these armors a re located near HELIOS 1 . From there, go west towards the cliffs. From the cliffs, turn left and head to a small canyon, which is full of scorpions, that leads to a “Scorpion gulch”. There you have 2 options up left or up right. Up left is Brotherhood of Steels camp, but we head up right. When you detect small amounts of radiation you’re close. Kill a couple centaurs that are leaching the radiation and you see a possible meteor crater with large amounts of radiation. At the bottom you see two(2) dead Brotherhood of Steel Paladins who wear T-51b Power Armors. Armors are in pretty bad shape, but after repairing them you own possibly best armor of the game.T-51b Power Armor (Non Faction)This armor does not have any faction effects and is the only NON-BROTHERHOOD T-51b power armor in the Game. The Deathclaw Promontory is located across the river East of Ranger Station Echo. Note that there is no map marker for this location. Look for a walkway that goes up a mountain right off the shore. You must defeat 20-25 Deathclaws, including 2 Mothers and 1 Alpha male. There are 2 dead prospectors bodies lying on the ground on the far right side of this area. One of them has the T-51b Power armor and a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle and the other has the Remnants Power Armor and a Multiplas Rifle.Stealing hint:Perform the following steps to successfully steal without getting caught:Step OneFind an area out of the line of sight of all the surrounding NPC’s.Step TwoFind a good spot to hide in and save your game.Step ThreeClick the right stick while you have selected the item you want to steal, but do not press the A button to steal it.Step FourThis allows you to safely carry the item to your designated hiding spot.Step FiveNow crouch and, when it says [HIDDEN], you can steal it without losing reputation, or having an NPC attack you.You may lose karma so attempt this once to make sure you won’t have an undesired karma effect. An excellent place for this trick would be the Van Graff energy weapon shop.You can do this with any of the items on the counter and there is a hiding spot on the back side of the room.Blade Runner easter egg:The store in Novac has “That Gun,” a gun that looks just like Deckard’s Gun from Blade Runner. This is also the name of a gun in previous Fallout games.Fun with Fisto the Sexbot:In Fallout 3 there was a upgraded power fist called “Fisto!” Fisto makes a return in Fallout: New Vegas as a sexbot that you’re required to find for the quest “Wang Dang Automatic Tango.” In the quest, you find Fisto in cerulean robotics. Once you release him from his tube, he gives you the option to test him out. After completing the side quest to find a sex robot for the silver rush, Fisto will go to the Silver Rush Casino. Inside, next to the roulette table, talk to him and he’ll offer his services, but if you reply “No thanks” it will give you ten caps. This can provide an unlimited supply of caps if you’re willing to activate the chat over and over again.CZ57 Avenger location:Head to Devils Throat in the northeast of the map. In the middle of the crater is a truck with a dead prospector isnide, and next to him is the CZ57 Avenger minigun with a pack of ammo. Also, next to the prospector are two or three empty jet inhalers. On his body is a Party Hat, Authority Glasses, Reinforced Combat Armor and some other items. Note: The Party Hat and Authority Glasses are unique apparel items.Golden boxing gloves location:The Golden Boxing Gloves can be found in the Lucky 38 Casino, at the VIP Bar above the cashier room, which is on the left side of the casino when you enter.Mercy grenade machine gun location:Head to Dead Wind Cavern, in the middle-south of the map. Inside are tons of Deathclaws, including the Legendary Deathclaw. Go directly to the final section of the cave to where the Legendary Deathclaw is found. There should be a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin lying dead. Next to his body a grenade machine gun (40mm grenade) named “Mercy”. The paladin has 40mm grenades and incendiary grenades. Note: Before trying to collect it, recruit two companions and get big guns for yourself and your partner, in addition to several stimpaks.Mysterious Revolver location:Go to the tops and begin the quest “Talent Pool”. Find the guitarist in the middle of nowhere and ask him to join. As a form of payment in the dialogue options he will give you a 44. revolver called “Mysterious Revolver”, which makes the short songs you hear with the mysterious stranger when drawn and holstered. Note: This may require Barter skill 45 .Spacesuit location:Head to the REPCONN rocket factory where the mission “Come Fly With Me” takes place. Go to the basement where Chris goes just before launching the rocket and asking for spare parts. In this room to the left side as you enter is a shelf with an orange suit and a helmet that resembles a fish bowl. Pick them up. When you wear them they look like something out of a 1960’s comic book. It gives a good amount of RAD resistance, but has a low DT and breaks easily.Tesla Cannon Prototype location:Head to the crashed vertibird located at the south of the map, in about the middle. This will require two companions and tons of firepower, or several stealth boys and a high sneak skill. The crash is surrounded by hardened Sentrybots and hardened Mister Gutsies who are hostile towards you. Inside the wreck are some of skeletons and a Tesla Cannon with orange electricity inside (the core is orange). It has an after-effect of damage for awhile after being fired. Test it on the robots or the ghouls from the nearby nuclear crater.Grease easter egg:On the quest to find “escorts” for the atomic wrangler, you have to find a robot and reprogram it. The robot is called “FISTO”. After exiting the building, if you have the Wild Wasteland trait, you will find three women in pink dresses calling themselves the Pink Ladies.Love
