Gun runners got nothing on me

[green12102]

Generally, the way I play fallout is, hoard as many guns as possible.
I sell all melee, unarmed, energy and explosive weapons and most armor to buy more guns and repairs. I have 2 separate containers, one with guns and one with 100% condition guns, and in total I had stored away 1,000,000+ caps worth of these 100% guns (had because I accidentally deleted all my save files)

I was firstly wondering if anyone else does this, guns or others and secondly if anyone else finds that the guns from the gun runners are actually 99% condition

being 99% condition i have to waste ammo shooting them to degrade them to a point that they are repairable and waste parts of other guns and consequently caps to 100% them

so...

99% condition is easy to fix by using the console. (At least I think this works at 99%) Enter the console (~), type "player.srm" and hit Enter, and exit the console. This brings up the merchant repair menu using your own repair skill. You can repair anything you're carrying according to the limit of your repair skill. The game mechanics require you to have caps in your inventory for it to work. The caps are both deducted from and paid to your total, resulting in a net loss of zero caps. If your own repair skill is 100% I wouldn't consider a 1% gain in condition cheating.

As for hoarding weapons, I use a mod that removes weapon degradation. My weapon condition only drops if it's hit by enemy fire. I don't need to keep many weapons for repair parts and I sell off as much as I can. I generally keep one of each type of weapon I find after restoring it to 100%, then sell of the surplus. The caps are useful for buying high power weapons I don't have (like the Anti-Materiel rifle) and ammo that I can reload as handloads.

Yeah, I generally hoard anything unique or modded as well as anything I'd like to mod or give to a companion. As well as a set of 45 Autos on the table in Novac so I can play like I'm Joshua Graham

I hoard as well, but I actually find it to be necessary. I hoarded everything to be honest. Although I did not amass as much loot as 1,000,000 caps on any one player, since I played with about 7 characters on and off.
