Talk:Lucky shades (Fallout: New Vegas)

Compatibility with four eyes trait? can anyone confirm? if not, I'll confirm within an hour.70.174.6.195 23:31, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ok after getting the lucky shades with four eyes, the lucky shades provide a plus 3 bonus to perception instead of 2 and a plus 1 to luck. I'm assuming without four eyes it will provide a plus 1 to perception, can anyone confirm? 70.174.6.195 02:28, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

also they weigh 1 wg not 0 like it said. so I edited that in70.174.6.195 03:19, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Ok I can now confirm the shades are bugged. without four eyes they give no perception bonus, with four eyes they give 3 perception instead of 2.70.174.6.195 16:59, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

The major problem...
Ok. We know how to get the shades regularly. But know we must find a way for someone to get the shades without totally siding with the Legion, or even pissing off House/The NCR. So lets put how collective Fallout heads together and figure this out.--Black Artist 11:18, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * The only thing I can think of, and its to late for me to do this because I’ve already wiped out cottonwood cove, but on the page for the safe house where these glasses are located it says you can pick pocketing a large amount of NRC dogtags and give them to Aurelius of Phoenix to get fame. I might try this on another play through. ReapTheChaos 07:02, January 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, I’m on another playthrough from my above post. All I did was turn in about 50-60 ncr dogtags and I got my reputation up to liked.  Also my reputation with NCR is liked as well.  You don’t need to do any missions for the Legion, simply turn in the tags.  I got this early in my game (Lv. 12) by pumping a lot of points into sneak (80)  You may be able to do it at lower levels, but I usually max out sneak anyway.


 * Just pick up any dogtags you find on dead NRC and pickpocket the rest. It’s a good idea to save just before each pick pocket attempt in case you fail.  When you turn them in make sure you only give them one at a time, that is VERY IMPORTANT!


 * Finally, when you get the platinum chip from Benny, travel to the Fort to meat with Caesar. Once you’re done speaking with him talk with Lucius.  (He will be standing next to Caesar)  Run through all convo options then exit the dialogue.  Speak with him again and he will give you the safe house key.  You’re all set now, you can do as you wish.  You can destroy the bunker, upgrade House’s secretions or you can go on a killing rampage and wipe out Caesar and the Fort, whatever you choose the safe house key will stay with you.

You don't need to side with the Legion for getting the key to their safehouse, however, you need to be a miserable SOB playing sides for both them and the NCR. Do some quests that generate Legion fame, like trading NCR dogtags and teaching the Decanus how to desarm mines and make Powder Charges, this will make you accepted with them. Then kill Mr. House and report to Caesar. Accept the quest for forging an alliance between Legion and the Boomers but don't complete it (if you already know them simply say goodbye). Do the side-quest The Finger of Suspicion and blow the monorail for the Legion in I Put a Spell on you. Done, you'll be Liked and will have the key for their safehouse, without any loss of reputation with the NCR. Of course, you can't make the final part of the quests Restoring Hope and Eye for an Eye (regainning Nelson and destroying Cottonwood Cove) until you are liked by the Legion. After you pick the Lucky Shades, you can finilize this quests. I have the keys for all the four safehouses, Legion, NCR, Followers and BoS. ;)
 * None of thats necessary, see my post above. ReapTheChaos 09:30, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I didn't tested if destroying Cottonwood Cove and Nelson, then reseting the reputation after killing Benny and doing some quests for the Legion can gain the ammount of fame necessary to award the safehouse key without being aligned with them, but I tested with the NCR, I was villified with them, used a stealth boy to talk with Ambassador Crocket and reset my reputation with them to Neutral again. I did more quests for the NCR and regain my status of Liked very easy. Of course, there a lot more quests for regainning NCR fame than the Legion, basically you have only one shot with the Legion.

/* Companions */
I want these shades, a lot. But some companions don't like the Legion. The one I'm most concerned about is Boone. Can I get enough fame with the Legion to get the shades without losing Boone?
 * Just tell Boone to go back to the Lucky 38. After you get the shades, you can recruit him again. Kastera1000 22:41, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Getting multiple sets of the lucky shades
If some random jerk didn't keep deleting it, this would be under the bugs section on the main page...

If you want multiple copies on the 360 and don't care if you have to download all the updates for all your other games and haven't persued any of the download plotlines...you can do it.

Go to the safehouse, grab everything off the beds, save, dashboard, go to your memory devices, select the device with Fallout stuf on it (probably your hard drive), clear the cache (this is what will delete all the updates for all the other games you have on this memory device), load your save (DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE), ignore when it says that the save your trying to download may not have some items, load, save again, download the update, load (sometimes my system would crash and require a restart around here), everything should be back on the beds (including the lucky shades) and I got 100 XP for no apparent reason as well, repeat as necessary until you're happy.
 * Not some random jerk, a Admin. So if you want to keep dishing out insults to other editors, be warned. Also, if you read the edit history you will see why. It isn't a bug, it is a exploit and therefore should be posted in Fallout: New Vegas exploits and not the bug section of the page. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 20:56, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * As I pointed out, what is the use of multiple pairs of the glasses anyway? Companions in New Vegas, like Fallout 3, can not make use of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses on items anyway, so multiple pairs of the glasses are essentially useless as its easier to find regular reading glasses, etc to use for repairs.

Does "In shining armor" apply to these specs? 109.156.207.224 00:36, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
