Forum:Hoover Damn w/ Melee/Unarmed?

Hey all. I've run through New Vegas several times now, and I'm down to just needing Mr House's quest line for completion. All that is left is All or Nothing. The character I'm on is 100 in Melee and Unarmed, 80 in Explosives, and 65 in Guns (Energy Weapons is just horribly low, low enough to not remember). Yet I seem to be getting tore apart on the dam. I have recon armor on and an endurance of 5, which I would assume to be enough. Do I need to just run past all hostiles? I used the guide here -> http://www.trueachievements.com/viewcomment.aspx?commentid=277830#vch to get Hardcore. I made it past at level 7 perfectly fine without dying once, yet on this character, with great weapons and skills, I can't get past the first set of battles. Should I give up and restart?

Last run with a Melee character I was using Oh, Baby! and T-51b Power Armor so I dunno. I usually sell everything off that I'm not going to use for Stimpaks and Doctor's Bags before the battle though. 9mm pistol.png 23:03, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well, considering your skills, I'd say get a hunting rifle with all the mods, for long range. I would get a grenade launcher/missile launcher for medium range. Finally, use Oh, Baby! for close combat. For armor, I'd go with Gannon Family Tesla Armor or Remnants Power Armor. In the chance you don't have Power Armor training, I'd say use NCR Ranger Combat armor. --Epsilon616 23:22, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Consider picking up Rad Child. With that perk you don't need PAT.Cpanda 00:20, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
