Fallout: New Vegas magazine blitz detailed

[Grimhound]

I guess nightkins are fighting with a club due to engine limitations. That's how I think it will work: Nightkin is invisible until he uses a weapon. The AI is stupid, so give them a minigun and they will shot from max range, wich would nullify the invisiblity. So you have to give them a melee weapon and they run up to you, try to hit and become visible.

If I am wrong on this, god shall hit me with a thunderbolt.


No thunderbolt yet?


Guess I am right.

I was hoping for Rippers and Sniper Rifles. Nothing like being shot at by an invisible enemy or suddenly ganked from behind to make you really start thinking about cover.

I suspect that it's because they ran out of ammo. The Cathedral and the Military Base are destroyed, so they don't have access to ammo stores.

Yeah, but all other mutants and / or other forces will have ammo? :p

I suspect that is because, y'know, they're clinically insane now.

Wait a bit I was off doing something else.
The Chinese stealth chappies in Operation Shooty Shooty DLC could stealth and had guns.
However they had really shite scripts so would only de stealth and shoot you if you got close to them or stood in the right place in the case of the snipers.
As the stealth effect is really obvious when they stand still it's quite easy to just toss a few explosives or headshoot them.

None of them even ever got a shot off on me in that DLC. I tended to notice them and take them out long before the scripting could come into play.

Anyway, where did the Nightkins get the operational stealth boys from?
Also, weren't all the stealth Nightkins killed when the Cathedral exploded?
