Forum:Who else is miffed because there's only like 20 mini nukes in the whole game

According to the wiki article on mini nukes in New Vegas, there's only 14 in the entire game unless you use the exploit with the boomer carrying a fat man. That would more or less make the fat man somewhat unique with the limited ammo throughout the game. It is kind of unusual with the number of fat man's that can be found in game(9, some of those being through merchants so there is the possibility of being able to purchase another later on). I would think they probably did this purely because the fat man is an extremely powerful weapon even against the strongest of adversaries. Think about it, if mini nukes were as common in New Vegas as they were in 3 you could just load up and never have a problem clearing out a particular area. IMO anyways. 65.36.71.140 15:50, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

I've realized that the fatman is actually a bit less powerful. I watched a video where this guy went to 2 NCR vet rangers in camp golf and chucked 4 mini nukes at them sitting down, their health barely even budged. --24.36.136.171 19:23, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

He probably had either a very low Explosives skill, or he had the difficulty way up. Probably both. I had noticed the shortage of Mini Nukes, I've only got like 1 - 4 Mini Nukes, myself. I think I've found 2 Fat Men (1 would have been repaired with the other) within the 2 in-game years I've lived through. --Tag! 21:49, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
