TitanFallout

Do you know what’s an awesome game? Titanfall. Do you know what’s cool? Titans. So why not add a little Titanfall to your Fallout New Vegas? This mod lets you summon Titans that will drop from the sky. You can pilot them and wreak havoc on your enemies. It even allows you different ways to get your Titan. When the game loads with this mod installed, you are given three options. You can be given the Titan right away (if you are at a max level already or just want it asap), you can get it at level 30 (default setting) or you can go retrieve the Titan yourself at a marked location. Once your Titan is summoned, you can immediately start using it and destroying any enemies around you. Don’t worry if your Titan breaks, you can always get another after a production period (35 minutes). It’s a ton of fun, trust me.

IMPACT

Fallout New Vegas is an excellent RPG, but it’s somewhat lacking as a shooter. Primarily, it lacks substantial hit effects when you shoot an enemy. This mod seeks to alleviate that problem and make the gunplay more satisfying and visceral. IMPACT is a mod that completely makes your guns feel more dangerous and powerful with completely new visual effects and details. So what does it do? Bullet holes are more substantial and reflect the caliber of the bullet, hitting objects will cause a spark of particle effects, and more. Overhauled custom particle effects that affect most surfaces in the game, including wood, metal, stone/concrete. Fallout New Vegas can feel like a pea-shooter game at times, but not anymore. IMPACT is a nice mod if you’re to make the guns more impactful and more powerful.

Weapons of the New Millennia

Weapons of the New Millenia is a quite self-explanatory mod. This mod provides a large number of new guns to the world of Fallout New Vegas. These include an AK-47, a Colt M1911, an M4A1, and many more. You can even choose how you obtain these guns, whether that be from a cheat sheet or a level list where you must defeat enemies to get your hands on them or simply purchase them.

Along with the guns, it even adds a quest line type of element to your game. So not only can you get these new weapons, but you can test them out in their own special questline. This mod was developed with an emphasis on compatibility and modding capabilities, so the community can continue to expand on this work. This mod has had a lot of work put into it, and it would be a shame if you didn’t give this one a try, it is truly unique!

Five Nights at Vault 5

Inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy’s horror games, this mod drops you in a vault with no equipment and no weapons and sets murderous robots on you. You have nothing but your wits to survive the hunt. The arena will also periodically fill with deadly gas.

This mod is fully equipped with a new voice pack specifically designed for this mod. Like your typical Five Nights at Freddy’s game, it requires you to play that hide and seek style game to close doors on the impending doom. The one main way this mod differs from Five Nights at Freddy’s is that it requires the player to move from room to room to evade enemies and continue forward rather than stay in a single room. Overall, this mod provides hours of unique gameplay that is vastly different from a normal Fallout New Vegas gameplay, but it certainly is fun and unique.

New Vegas Bounties

What is the desert without a little bounty hunting? The series of quests that allow you to take on the role of a bounty hunter. Take contracts, seek out your targets, and take them out without mercy. You will have all different types of enemies as targets, including rangers, fiends, raiders, smugglers, cannibals, and pistoleros. All of these enemies will be a challenge, as they are all set in the same difficulty as regular bosses are, and they become harder and tougher as you progress through the storyline. Featuring over 436 lines of new dialogue, you can truly immerse yourself in brand new experience in Fallout New Vegas with this mod.

Note: that these mods require this mod to work.

MTUI

Fallout New Vegas is a game that was clearly designed for consoles. The text is too big and seems to be designed for players who are sitting across the room from their TVs. It doesn’t make the best use of the real estate of a monitor and isn’t as optimized for PC as it could be. This UI overhaul fixes that, by doing many essential adjustments that PC players need, including smaller font sizes, larger item selection areas, improved conversation menus, etc. These menus and adjustments are made with the desktop player in mind, built for PC screen resolutions. However, if you do not like this mod, do not worry. You can always uninstall the mod and restore the original textures if that is your preference.

Populated Casinos

The casinos in Fallout New Vegas are uncharacteristically dead. The game builds New Vegas up into some kind of paradise full of life and energy, but when you get there the casinos are empty and devoid of life. Pretty disappointing. This mod fixes that problem and brings life back to the casinos. It makes the heart of the Mojave wasteland actually feel like a bustling center.

You will find a lot of NPCs, a lot of them look the same, but in the grand scheme of things the goal is to liven up the casinos, and that is what this mod accomplishes. This mod can be very performance intensive. Since it is spawning in a lot of NPCs, it tends to use a lot of resources. If you have a decent PC, that should not be an issue, and this mod will simply just make your game better.

Roleplayer’s Alternative Start

If you’ve played Fallout New Vegas a few times, the opening can get pretty samey. Sit on Doc Mitchell’s couch and answer the same old questions, go out to Goodsprings and do the same old stuff. It can get old after a couple of times. The Alternative Start mod gives you the chance to get a fresh start in the Mojave desert, placing you in a randomized location and setting you free into the world.

This mod will make Fallout New Vegas into a much better role-playing game.

Other features include: fixing starting quests, over 95 starting locations across the world, faction specific starting points and everything is fully randomized. There are also different forms of history for you, and all these factors will affect what kind of weapons, gear, and skills you may have. What this means for the player is, that no matter what, every game you start will have a different gear and item set, meaning a fresh new experience every time.

Project Mojave

Improved Throwing

Throwing weapons in New Vegas are undeniably pretty lame. Weak, awkward, underwhelming and just not very viable.

The Courier was a fucking liar.

'Snipers work better in pairs.' He had said. 'We'll take down the Legion after I deal with Benny.' He had said.

But Benny was dead, and the Courier now had other priorities.

'I can take the damn Strip, Boone. If you want to throw away your life chasing down the Legion, be my guest. But this is a chance I'm not going to pass up.'

Boone had been suspicious before. Constantly going around Legion camps, avoiding all confrontation with them, statements of 'we're not well equipped enough, wait until till we are'. The Courier never had any intention of hunting down the Legion. He had just said that to get Boone to follow him.

And that's what pissed the sniper off the most.

That's why he had left the man's little band of misfits and found himself in the Atomic Wrangler trying to get drunk. Boone took a swig of his beer, angrily smacking it down on the table as he seethed. The man in the stool next to him nervously stood up and moved down the bar, but he didn't care. Let people be scared of him. They should be. Another swig, smacked the bottle down. The Wrangler was quiet tonight, save for the people going to the back rooms to gamble, or squad of NCR soldiers at one of the tables. Boone did his best to drown them out. All he wanted to do was get drunk.

He ignored the door when it opened, and would have ignored the patron as they sat in the stool next to him, had their gear not caught his eye. Ranger armour, very well kept. Except there was no NCR logo plastered on the helm, and there were extra shoulder guards – not standard parts of Ranger gear. He watched them take their helmet off, set it down on the table. He was surprised to see that the not-Ranger was a woman, with a mess of red hair, and a long scar running from her hairline through her eyebrow. She settled into the seat, smacking some dust out of her jacket.

The Garret sister stepped up to other side of the bar, addressing the woman. 'The usual?'

The not-Ranger nodded, pulling a water flask from her hip and placing it on the table beside her. 'Yup. Just brought in three, so make it the good stuff.'

Garret whistled and reached under the bar, pulling a large bottle of whiskey and a shot glass out. 'I'll put it on your tab.'

'Gotcha. Thanks.' She wasted no time in pouring herself a drink and quickly knocking it back.

Boone just grumbled and went back to his beer, annoyed at the distraction. He resumed thinking of how many ways he could fuck up the Courier's day.

A half hour or so passed, and the woman was still sitting beside him. He had expected her to move by now, considered anyone else who had been dumb enough to sit next to him had done so in a couple of minutes. He didn't like her close proximity to him, and there was plenty of room down the bar for her to sit. But she just kept alternating taking a shot of whiskey and a drink from her flask. When Garret set down another beer in front of him and didn't say anything, he didn't even bother to be annoyed that he hadn't asked for one. Just opened the top and started drinking, focused on reaching his goal of getting shit faced.

He didn't even care when another was set in front of him. Then another. Just kept drinking and hating the Courier's guts with all his being.

'Shit day?'

His trigger finger twitched, and he looked at the woman to his left. Her face was somewhat red – obviously a side effect of the whiskey – and her scarred eyebrow was quirked upwards. He glared at her, still seething. She held eye contact for a moment and then recoiled a bit, holding up a hand in mock surrender.

'Guess so. Sorry for being a downer.' She turned back to the bar and poured herself another drink. 'You know, if you want to get plastered, would be easier to drink some hard liquor. You a whiskey man?'

He wasn't, but if it meant he got drunk sooner, he didn't care. 'If you're buying.'

She chuckled, and ushered Garret over to get another shot glass. As she poured him a shot, she said: 'I've been buying you beers, if you haven't noticed. Wanted to see how long it was before you realized I was funneling booze your way.'

She placed the glass in front of him and he quickly downed the shot. The burning sensation of the whiskey felt good in his throat. This was some quality stuff, surprisingly. 'I'm not paying you back for those.'

Another chuckle. 'Didn't say I wanted you to. Just thought I'd let you know.' She downed her own shot, and then poured them another round. He quickly swallowed the liquid, watching her do her own out of the corner of his eye. 'You First Recon?'

He blinked, somewhat surprised that she'd ask that. 'Ex. What's it to you?'

A shrug. 'Just checking.' A pause, then another round. 'Do you have any experience as a spotter?'

He was getting annoyed at her questions, but if she kept giving him booze, he'd keep answering. 'I'm fucking First Recon, of course I do.' He emptied the glass and slid it in front of her. His vision was blurring a bit now. Whiskey had always hit him hard and fast.

She smirked, pouring again and sliding the full glass back. 'You looking for work, then?'

He didn't pick up the glass this time, deciding instead to look her over a little more carefully. That's when he noticed the sniper rifle – obviously heavily modded – and the riot shotgun – no, it actually looked like an old fashioned combat shotgun – strapped to her back. And then, he saw the machine on her wrist – it was like the one the Courier had – a Pip-Boy. His eyes narrowed into slits. 'Doing what?'

She shifted her weight and took a drink of water, completely nonchalant. 'I need a partner. Someone with experience; who knows how to use a goddamn rifle properly and can spot for me. I'm collecting bounties from the NCR, thought you might be interested.'

His hand bunched into a fist on the table. 'So you're a bounty hunter?'

'Yup.'

He ground his teeth, grabbing the shot glass he neglected earlier. 'Do you get any contracts for Legionnaires?'

She snorted, rolling her eyes. 'Wouldn't matter if I got contracts, those bastards have it in for me.'

His vision was blurry now, and from the way her eyelids drooped slightly, he could tell the rapid fire shots were sinking in for her too. ' 'Have it in for you'? The fuck does that mean?'

'Bastards have contracts on me. I get assassination squads after me all the goddamn time.' She smacked the table. 'Guess I do too much target practice on their patrols for their liking. But, from the way you're looking, you'd be fine with that.'

He would be fine with that. Seems tonight hadn't been a total waste. Fuck the Courier, and fuck his inaction. 'I would. But if I find out you're fucking with me, I'm out.'

Her words were slightly slurred, but she held her shot glass up anyways, obviously not caring how drunk she was. 'Deal. We'll split the bounties in two. Should be able to take the bigger ones now that there are two of us.'

Boone nodded in agreement, and they drank their shots to seal the deal.

She sputtered a bit, and dropped the glass on the table, obviously done for the night. 'Whatser name, anyways?'

He slid his own shot glass away, looked at her out of the corner of his eye. 'Boone.'

'Boone, eh?' She rubbed her temple. 'Well, my last name's shit, so just refer to me as 'Lone'. That's what everyone calls me anyway.'

The woman chucked, resting her head against her helmet as it sat on the table. 'Better than 'Lone Wanderer'. And don't ask. It's not a story I want to tell.'

Boone simply rolled his shoulders. 'Doesn't matter to me, as long as you can put a bullet between a Legionnaire's eyes.'

'Don't worry, Boone. That I can definitely do.'
