My n00bness

Post by Dragonetti »

As most of you can tell I'm a n00b to FO2. So, can you help me on one or two ponts.

1: Where can I buy or find Minigun ammo. Marcus ran out ages ago and is now a meelee peson.

2: Where can I buy a rocket launcher? I found some rockets in Mariposa and want to use them on the Sierra miniguns.

What kind of Minigun ammo?
5mm or the high-tech kind? I think it's something caseless, for the Vindicator.
5mm is all over the place. I'm suprised you'd run out of that. You can buy it all over the place. Caseless is probably in San Francisco, Heck, San Francisco has EVERYTHING.

Just snipe the Sierra turrets, preferably with a sniper rifle. They don't have that much range. I found three rocket launchers in Sierra Army Depot, I don't think I've found any others.

There is a lot of 5mm ammo in the Sierra army depot itself.

There is rocket lanuchers inside the depot, and also in a bunker just outside the main entrance to it.

iirc: if your good at the Steal skill, hed up to Gecko before you goto the depot, steal all the ghoul's 5mm AP ammo. the ap ammo should give marcus an edge on the robots (guessing they have heavy armor)

sierra depot kicks ass

I have some questions about other things........

When in Navarro, take a look at one of the flashier PC's. It says "..It is obviously Brotherhood technology.." Didn't the Enclave have their own tech, so as not to need the BOS stuff??

When in Navarro, when can i get an orderform (or whatever) to get my hands on the key fob?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks btw for the answers to the other q's. I found plenty of minigun ammo in sierra.

Yeah, and another thing........why can't Skynet be one of those big fuckoff robots with the rockets?

That's just because they used the same object from FO1 and didn't bother to change the description attached to it.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I forget everything. I forgot another few points too.

On one of the "Loading" screens, you see a picture of a man in broken Powered Armour, or helmet thereof anyway. Does he actually appear in the game?

This point is about the forum. What does SDF! stand for? I typed in Fool in my occupation. is it Self Defined Fool or soething like it?

And, most probably, an explanation of why you don't get the Vault Dweller's power armour.

I dont remember getting any forms for that. after getting the vertibird and k9 motivator, i just killed the base commander(correct me if his a captain) and took the Fob in one of his lockers then i killed everybody else on that floor. took the robodog 2.

You can get the FOB peacefully if you first obtain mission 3 for Navarro ("Retrieve the FOB from the base Commander"). You can get this by asking Cookie (the cook) how to get to the Enclave. If you have good Speech skill, you can then talk to the guard outside the Commander's office and say you've come to collect the FOB. Then you can just grab it and leave.

It's dependent on your speech skill.
