 * You'll lose your gear when you get there so what you bring is of no consequense. Your original gear will be returned to you once you are done with Dead Money.Rioten 13:00, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

If you're on PC you can skirt past that little script. Step 1: Download a mod that removes the companion limit. Step 2: Hire three or more companions. Step 3: Remember the order in which they were hired, as the first two will be fired normally. However, the script does not account for the additional followers, so the third, fourth, fifth, etc, will be able to come with you. Load them up with your gear. Step 4: Begin the DLC. Once you've gotten control again, go to your companions and yank your gear out of their back pocket. Step 5: Send them back to the Lucky 38 or it really throws the difficulty curve a curve ball. Step 6: Enjoy!

I found this out entirely by accident. I downloaded the above mod because I wanted Rex and ED-E in my party, which it was supposed to do. It didn't, but I kept it loaded anyways, as five pack brahmin can carry a whole lot more gear out of Vault 34 than just the two you're allowed by default. I went to the Sierra Madre with ED-E, Boone and Veronica in tow. Veronica followed me through, so I reloaded, stuffed my Garand and ammo on her, and that was that. I do advise you make sure ED-E isn't in your party though, this glitched him out and I never got him back until I came back from Zion. I&#39;m the best at space!

 * You don't need to use mod to do that, see the I Could Make You Care make you care]] page, you can use the bug there to hire all humaniod follower, and i write a walkthrough there(Vvardenfell 01:01, June 7, 2011 (UTC))

Refering to your question, Dead Money is focused on survival and knowing what loot is good for use at a particular time. It's very advisable having a good END if you are playing on hardcore and having a good survival skill regardless, so you can use most what is found in Sierra Madre. If your build have good skills in enery weapons OR unarmed OR melee you shouldn't have much trouble in the fights. If your build is focused on guns you should talk to Dog as fast as you can, because the perk he teach you - not the one he give you when as companion - is the only way to kill Ghost People with guns. Apart from that, if possible try to have Pack Rat or Strong Back perks, they alleviate some troubles carrying things. A good place to store your belongings is the trash can next to Sierra Madre exit gate. More than that will spoil the fun, but if you want to know, just drop a message.

I may be forgoted to ask, does solar powered work in sierra madre??(Vvardenfell 05:33, June 7, 2011 (UTC))

Solar Powered does work. I know because I grabbed it while doing the DLC once and immediately got the benefits despite the overcast skies.Cpanda 05:56, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Then no need to ask about supply, it overcome anything(Vvardenfell 07:46, June 7, 2011 (UTC))
