Totally wicked random encounter!

I just had the craziest random encounter in FO2!

You know those random encounters where the staus window says "you hear sounds coming from the cave"??

Well, I decided to check every single one of those caves I could find, and after killing hordes of mutated mole rats and deathclaws I stumble upon a cave filled with people wielding YK72 Pulse Rifles and wearing Combat Armor!

Needless to say, it took a lot of tries to clear that cave, but after I was finished, I had 36 Pulse Rifles and 5000+ micro fusion cells!

Lucky me...

I've got that a couple of times and sometimes they have gauss weapons which makes the encounter even more valuable.

P.S. Not trying to take anything away from you Kozmo.

its just alota fun killing... i prefer getting into a cave filled with all kinds of geckos, and having a bazooka on you...

messy!

Never really liked the bazooka. Propably because ammo weighted tons and it was only available on single shot (why can't a man have an auto-fire rocket launcher???) :roll:

I asked Tim Cain to put a burst-fire rocket launcher in Arcanum, but did he listen to me?

No, he didn't! :mad: :roll:

But he put in a lot of other cool guns... :twisted:

Yeah... War-Bringer Pistol is hell of a lot cooler than burst-fire rocket launcher, anyways :twisted:

Been there, seen that... Yup... Alas, in my case, it was about Planescape: Torment

Came across the cave encounters on my most recent play through by accident, never knew about them before! :o First two were loads of deathclaws, third one was the guys in combat armor!

I knew about the caves, and about the comabt armour guys. I've just never found the guys in comabt armour.

I just got one just like that, but it had robbers in metal armor,(I had started a new ligit game and I was level 6 with an assualt rifle.) well any way they gave me lots of stuff and 10k in credits. mmm....Money.

I got one of those with a cave full of guys in combat armor packing either gauss rifles or super cattle prods. The annoying part was none of my melee characters could equip the super cattle prod, which had a better damage rating than the super sledge.

<annoyed> EQUIP THE BLOODY CATTLE PROD SULIK!!!! </annoyed> <Homicidal>.....

Well, we all know where things went from there.

damn, now I have to go and play Fallout 2 again. I never knew about those guys in the cave. apparently I missed alot when I went thru the first time. The best encounter I got was the Federation Shuttle one with the hypos. better than stim packs.

oh well :roll:

Nah, didn't miss much... It's just a random encounter with somewhat better equipment...

amonshaw · Post by **amonshaw** » Tue May 28, 2002 2:58 am

Yeah, it was fun massacreing all those poor robbers

After killing like half the d-claws in a cave, those things started to run away from me! I got them, though muhahaha

I got a stange little encounter where I came across a large rock with a hole in the middle of it and when I walked through it I was transported to the third level of vault13. The only way I could get out was by fiddling with a computer which would break the water chip. After I did that I was transported back to the rock.

It was called the Guardian of Forever.
