Quick Tip

[Gunslinger]

I've been playing Fallout 1 again (my eleventh time, I think) and I've stubbled across a simple but useful tip early on. I have yet seen it in most of the guides so I'll post it here for anyone to update.

In Vault 15, on the second level, there's a hunting rifle in the closest room to the elevator. It's in the corner of the "bathroom" area of the room and you have to highlight it so it will show up. I knew there was a reason for those. 223 FMJ rounds laying around . Anyway, the hunting rifle is an absolute godsend so earlier in the game with a weak combating fighter.

Well, I'm sure there's people who already know this but I'm posting this so someone might put it in an official guide (Per, perhaps?). I can't believe I played Fallout 11 times, excruciatingly fighting off cave rats with a knife, when I could have blasted them away with a hunting rifle. There's always a suprise left. This game never ceases to amaze me.

I thought everyone knew about this? :/

I thought everyone knew about this? :/

Yes, I also thought this was common knowledge. But come to think of it I did not see this in any walkthrough I ever read...

Hmm, I never knew that either and I have probably played as much as you, Slinger. I just always used the SMG, now I will have a new toy early on. w00t

I didn't know this

O well, saves me some 10mm ammo for the SMG on the next level

Im replaying Fallout again. I still cant find the hunting rifle

Is it the room closest to the left elavator ?

 

[Gunslinger]

Go to the room directly across from the elevator (yes, the farthest room to the left). Then, once inside the room, go to the "bathroom" section of the room. It should have a broken down toilet or some sort. The rifle is lying on the ground next to there. Turn up the gamma on your monitor if you have trouble seeing it.
