Obsidian has dropped a new game update for Fallout: New Vegas, bringing it up to version 1.3, and fixing a massive checklist of problems. The patch is already live for PC and Xbox 360, although the current PSN shutdown has potentially delayed its launch over there.<\/p>\n
The full list of changes includes:<\/p>\n
Guns Changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n •\tAutomatic Guns – SMGs, the Assault Carbine, and the LMG are more accurate across the board. They’re also more durable. 12.7mm SMG mag capacity increased to 21.<\/p>\n •\tShotguns – Buckshot has received a x1.2 inherent DAM mod. This slightly incentivizes using buckshot over slugs when enemy armor is not an issue. Magnum buckshot has a x1.3 DAM mod and a small amount of DT bypass. Spread for many shotguns has been lowered.<\/p>\n •\tHunting Rifle, Anti-Materiel Rifle – Hunting Rifle and AMR now have the lowest spread of all rifles. Hunting Rifle RoF increased, Crit Chance set to x2. Anti-Materiel Rifle’s Crit DAM has been raised from 80 to 110 to make it more viable when compared to the Gobi.<\/p>\n •\tSniper Rifle, Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle – Sniper Rifle and Gobi now have a higher RoF and lower AP cost. Both have x2 Crit Chance. Gobi has increased DAM and much higher Crit DAM over the Sniper Rifle.<\/p>\n •\tThat Gun – That Gun is now a slow-firing hand cannon that does huge DAM firing 5.56mm out of a short barrel. <\/p>\n •\tHunting Revolver – RoF increased.<\/p>\n • \tService Rifle – DAM slightly lowered, firing animation changed to the one used by Marksman Carbine, RoF dramatically increased. Spread decreased.<\/p>\n •\tSilenced .22 Pistol, SMG – Crit DAM and Crit Chance significantly increased.<\/p>\n • \t5mm Ammo – Base ammo has 10 points of DT bypass. AP variants have 25 points of DT bypass. This affects the Assault Carbine, Minigun, and CZ57 Avenger.<\/p>\n •\t.308 JSP – DAM mult reduced from x1.5 to x1.3. x2 CND degradation effect added.<\/p>\n • \tLever-Action Rifles – Cowboy Repeater, Trail Carbine, Brush Gun – RoF has been slightly reduced, AP costs have been significantly increased, and spread has been slightly increased. Cowboy Repeater Custom Action RoF increase has been reduced. La Longue Carabine spread has been significantly lowered.<\/p>\n Explosives Changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n •\tDynamite – Larger explosion radius.<\/p>\n •\tFrag and Plasma Grenades – DAM increased.<\/p>\n •\t25mm Grenades – Slightly increased DAM on the explosion.<\/p>\n •\t40mm Grenades – Significantly higher DAM on the explosion. <\/p>\n • \tMissile Launcher \/ Fat Man – Now have much better zoom FoV and good accuracy. Missile and Fat Man projectiles (not the explosion) have a large base DAM. Both are extremely effective on direct hits, but still potent even if a direct hit is not scored. N.B.: Listed DAM on weapons assumes a direct hit!<\/p>\n Energy Weapons Changes:<\/p>\n •\tGatling Laser – Base DAM is higher. Against heavily armored targets, this is still a poor weapon. Against lightly armored targets, especially with Over Charge or Max Charge ECPs + Focus Optics + Laser Commander, it has extraordinary DPS.<\/p>\n •\tTesla Cannon, Tesla-Beaton Prototype – These now consume far less ammo per shot and can be fired several times before a reload. DAM is beefy with an additional 2 second DoT.<\/p>\n •\tPew-Pew – Lower ammo capacity, consumes far fewer ECs per shot. Still a two-shot weapon.<\/p>\n Melee Weapon and Unarmed Changes:<\/p>\n •\tRipper, Chainsaw, Thermic Lance – DAM lowered, all ignore DR\/DT. <\/p>\n • \tBladed Gauntlet, Mantis Gauntlet – Ignore DR\/DT flags removed (were not supposed to be marked as such). Mantis Gauntlet animation\/sound fixed.<\/p>\n Perk Changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n •\tSplash Damage – Functions properly. <\/p>\n •\tThe Professional – 10mm Pistol, SMG added to perk list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crashes, lockups fixed, Splash Damage perk "functions properly" now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
