For hardcore players, remember that ammo has a weight to it. Just keep enough guns and ammo to fight off a few ghost people. Get rid of the default shotguns, any extra pieces of armor and any remaining food or random items. Dump everything that isnвЂ™t unique to the Sierra Madre. ThatвЂ™s too many to physically carry out, unless youвЂ™re basically going to use an exploit with perfect timing.ДЇor a standard run though, you can easily grab a few. Each one weighs 35 pounds and is worth over 10,000 caps. ThereвЂ™s a bunch there, so just repair until youвЂ™re satisfied. I also suggest that you get a fully repaired set of Sierra Madre reinforced armor from the security cabinet. If youвЂ™re in normal mode, make sure that you get the 900. ThereвЂ™s a lot here, but itвЂ™s actually fairly easy to loot. You can stop by the skeleton to get the final piece of history for the vault from Sinclair. Use the vault control panel to shutdown vault security and clear the way through to the vault itself. Move back on the catwalk and just run past the final guard to the next hallway.

You can also set alternate patrol routes to clear a path. At the third terminal, you can shut down the forcefields and the alarms. The walls should break the line of sight and keep you safe. From there, just go down the steps to the terminal. This clears up the center area, and you should be able to quickly move to the enclosure in the back right of the room.

Fall back a bit so that he doesnвЂ™t spot you. Use the second terminal and change the second patrol to just protect the computer. Move up carefully to the next computer in the line while the water valve guard has his back turned. Fall back and hide while he assumes his patrol. Have him move over to patrol the water valve. Sneak over to the first terminal on the left when the guardвЂ™s a little further away. Start by running to the left and jumping the gap. I had no problem just running through their field of view and avoiding them with a little terminal use. To be honest, it didnвЂ™t seem necessary to actually take out the holograms. You can see it if you turn around and look to the center from the back of the room. The next room has security guards, so be ready for a little sneaking. YouвЂ™ll want anything that can boost your speed. You should be able to just barely make it in time if you have your gun holstered and nothing is crippled. Hit the terminal as quickly as you can and shut down the alarms. Drop down onto the pathway and quickly run up the steps and run down the left path. YouвЂ™ll have a brief spot to stop, if you want, right before the first break. Spring along the path and leap over the first gap. Holster your weapons and quicksave before going.

So yeah, Hardcore mode, I play with it on MAINLY because of the initial two issues would make the game WAY too easy.Д«ut you could go without it provided you limited your self, maybe use no companions, maybe not use stimpacks.Д«uy not using survival mode is basically using tgm.Get ready to run. Occasionaly it goes up a level and I sleep in a bed to fix it. drinking from and water source is -200 H20 regardless of survival level and mosts enemies can be cooked and eaten. The Basic Needs are minor because Cactuses are prevalent everywhere satisfying your FOD and H20 Needs.

You can carry alot of ammo to make it functionally infinite, and its not like you can't always travel somewhere and buy more. Ammo does have weight which sort of fixes the issue if infinite ammo for some guns at least, but they add Pack Rat perk which halves ammo weight so you can carry twice as much so you can't just buy 100 stimpacks and hotkey them to tank all incoming damage that doesn't one-shot you as god mode. with High Charisma and even their default weapons they can manage fine without you. Mainly on normal mode, companions cannot die so you could just let them handle things for you. Hardcore mode fixes two issues in game difficulty.
