Forum:Departing for Point Lookout!

I'm preparing to head to Point Lookout(again). I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for the best weapons and armor to take along(my small guns, explosives, energy weapons, and big guns skills are all 100). I'm asking this because the last time I tried to play Point Lookout, the Tribals killed me, EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I'd like to hear your suggestions.--Ryker6108:16, April 23, 2011 (UTC)~1:13am 4/23/2011
 * Armour: T-51b (winterized), if not avalible: Hellfire, if Also not avalible Tesla armour.
 * Weapon: A3-21's plasma rifle
 * Those would be my prefered weapons. - RASICTalk 08:19, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

i went empty handed the first time, so i could experiance all the new weapons and stuff, i took armour but nothing major and just sort of got by using lever action rifles and making railway rifles at the workbenches, good fun. NegativeCreep 17:36, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I always go with plenty of stims, horde them like hell if you can before you leave. Also bring at least one laser weapon and a large rifle like the Lincoln Repeater or Assault Rifle variant.Birchman34 23:32, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm about to go there myself, and was wondering why a laser weapon? I already have the Lincoln Repeater, and over 200 stims. When I go, I can't bring anyone, and I already gave Jericho 1000 caps, when I get back, will I have to give him another 1000 caps? Pappy002 04:15, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

the most formidable enemy in Point Lookout are the creepers, basically the inbred hillbillies walking around with rifles and shotguns From what i can tell lasers and plasmas are the most effective in stopping those guys, they are pretty tough to kill with guns, unless you are very high level.Birchman34 15:41, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Bring 10mm ammo, a baseball bat, and a combat shotgun with some shells. That's all you need. Baseball bat for weak shits, 10mm ammo for the Lever Action/Backwater Rifle, and the shotgun is pretty self explanatory. That Guide Guy

Bring reillys rangers combat armour (its not as heavy as Power armour allowig for more loot to be taken and give a lot of DR) A shishkebab ( most powerfull meelee weapon in the game with the pyromaniac perk and also only weighs 3 pounds) and a 10mm pistol (Light and very effective) the reason i dont think you should bring anything too powerful is because you would miss out on using all the great Point lookout weapons :P (oh yeah, i suggest you trade in the shishkebab for another point lookout melee weapon later on , just for fun :P )
