Carry a small amount of rations with you (caravan lunches are best for this!) Furthermore, do not do "hero quests" unless it involves you helping the NCR.


Pistol is rarely carried by troopers as modern assault rifles are superior in every way even in close quarters combat. Even a bayonet (combat knife) might be pushing it. Using unique weapons anyhow for a "grunt" ruins the RP anyway and just makes you another Courier wearing NCR armor.Īlso, if you want real military feel note that troopers rarely carry more than one weapon. Very efficient killer, to boot.Ī "grunt", that is a conscript, draftee, otherwise regular trooper would not go around using a highly customized version of an already rare rifle with non-standard issue ammunition. Isn't This Machine considered a military 'grunt-class' weapon? If so, hard to beat that for classic gruntability.
