Forum:Fallout 3 PS3 Exploits

As the PS3 is a fixed gaming system, unlike the PC version you cannot add mods and such and are limited to what is available. I have managed to find 3 exploits thus far, actually 4 but one is a result of the other.

First and second, is your money/repair exploit. It is possible to get a vendor to repair your items to 100% and take all their money and inventory at the same time. The vendor must have two items the same or you must have 1 item that they have in either weapons or apparal. Buy all the vendors items but the matching or paired item you intend to repair to 100%. i.e Combat armor, laser pistol, ect. Before you begin, have the vendor repair all the items as normal, this gives them a higher repair value and allows the vendor to have more caps, which you will get back. Now trade with the vendor again, if they have a single item that you also have trade your item to them, so they now have two. Buy back the cheapest(lowest repair valued) item. It must have at least 1% repair value it cannot be broken. When you buy it back, its repair value will rise. However, when you sell it back its repair value will decrease back to its original value in the vendors list, but after a couple trades it should goto 100% in your inventory. This is the reason why the vendor will pay you more than you purchase it for. Do this back and forth trading until the vendor has no more money or items, except the paired or duplicate item you are trading and you have the items you were trading now at 100%. As well you now have the vendors inventory and caps, plus your caps back. As well when the vendors money drops to lower than the item you are trading back and forth switch to a lower cost item, such as a helmet or lower armor type, never run out of caps or worry about repairing everything all the time. Then when you have everything you need keep the item you have been trading, it will now be 100% repair value in your pack.

Third, is the special 10mm SMG, "Sydney's 10mm "Ultra" SMG, this can be obtained once you have found the recording for Sydney from her father, "A note from Little Moonbeam's father." See the wiki notes on this. I found it best to do the Reilly's Ranger quest (Obtained in the rear medical lab of Underworld) first to obtain the recording in the Statesman Hotel. Once you have the recording, then do the "Stealing Independance" quest with Sydney (you meet her at Archives building). At the end you can talk to her about her father, tell her about the recording and obtain the special, SMG. However, you can continue to question her and the conversation about her dad stays in the text. She will award you the gun over and over again, by re-running through the dialogue.

The Forth, which requires the completion of the DLC Operation:Anchorage, in order to obtain the Chinese Stealth Armor and the T-51B Power Armor. Also you will need to complete the Oasis quest and help the Leaf Mother to obtain the other required item, Poplar's Hood. Once these items are obtained you can now use this exploit. Place the Stealth armor on, then equip the Poplar's hood, then equip the T-51B Power Armor Helmet, both the Poplar's hood and the Power armor helmet will be equipped. Remove the stealth armor and put on your normal armor, the two helmets will stay equipped, as well you will now have the bonuses from both helmets active. If at any time you take off a helmet or change gear you will need to place the Stealth armor on again to equip the two helmets, but the armor does not require you leave it on.

I have not found any others thus far but feel free to add any additional, PS3 exploits you find here, thankyou.

After some further testing, I found the forth listed exploit actually only requires the Stealth Armor to use the helmet exploit. As well once the armor is equipped, you can not only equip the two above helmets but numerous others. I actually was able to equip 8 helmets, using the Stealth Armor, checked my abilities and had recieved the bonuses from all the helmets. I was then able to change back to my old armor while keeping all the helmets(with bonuses) on.

Also I found a Fifth character enhancement, however it is not an exploit but a repeated drop on a spawn. The drop is the training book for Big Guns(30 Flamethrower Recipes). It can be collected every 72 hours in-game time. The manual is found in Bethesda Ruins, East Building, on a Raider carrying a flamer(almost always on the second floor). Be prepared when fast travelling here, as 5 to 6 Raiders spawn at the fast travel point, and four more can be found in the East building. Make sure to have space when you arrive to carry everything, and you may find hiding before travelling helps.
