- New Vegas enthält doppelt so viele Waffen, wie Fallout 3. Einige Beispiele:
- 9-Iron (Fore!)
- Grenade Machine Gun
- Dynamite (In stick form.)
- Trail Carbine (A lever-action, rifle.)
- Varmint Gun (A small caliber, semi-auto rifle.)
- .357 Cowboy Rifle (A Winchester-style lever action gun.)
- Plasma Caster (A Fallout 1 & 2 favorite returns.)
- 9mm Pistol
- Grenade Launcher (Death from afar.)
- Single-Shot Shotgun (A powerful new scatter gun.)
- Caravan Gun (An over-under short barrel, double scatter gun.)
- Der Hardcore-Modus kann jederzeit ein und ausgeschaltet werden.
- Wird das Spiel komplett im Hardcore-Modus durchgespielt, winkt ein entsprechendes Achievement.
- Die Gun Runners werden erwähnt. Ob es sich dabei um die selben Gun Runners aus Fallout 1 handelt, ist unbekannt.
- Der Spieler kann Waffenupgrades bei den Gun Runners kaufen.
Links:TE: There's the one everyone likes to talk about, the one everyone thinks they know. How much of what you had planned for Fallout 3 were you able to bring back for New Vegas?
I would say not really [any]. A lot of it is that it's not the Black Isle team, it's people from the Black Isle team working on it. It's a different set, it's a different group of designers.
I've learned a lot, Josh [Sawyer, Lead Designer] has learned a lot about making games since then. I think that it still is that thing of what we took from what we did in the past and compared it to what Bethesda did with Fallout 3. It's OK, how do we give it its own life? How do we make it this unique experience [in] the West?
Back then, we were trying to steer away from something like Vegas. We just had Reno in Fallout 2. It's something that would have been a difference if the other game had come to fruition.
TE: Are you ready for the inevitable mixed reaction from people expecting something they aren't going to be getting?
Yeah. There's going to be a couple of fan sites that will vilify us, but that's the way it is.
But Josh has done an amazing job - he's broadly looked at everything. There's going to be a lot of fun things for people to do that are distinctly different than Fallout 3. There's always going to be "there's too much this," and "there's too little this," but in general, people are just going to have fun.
