When you are playing in hardcore mode what you do to survive? I'm trying to make an observation of multiple methods of survival in fallout nv ,best places to find food water and shelter and other things too, like not punch a deathclaw in the face

Well my hardcore Fallout NV is extremely hardcore, with PN extra options to the max and realistic weapon damages. I also have bottle that water, allowing me to refill water bottles. So I horde water bottles. I also have a portable bedrolls, not to make it easier, but because it's realistic. Then for food I hunt geckos and other animals.

interesting thanks for the comment

If you're not using mods, hunting animals is a good one, and hoarding drinks. And make sure you can get to unowned bed in time!

Thanks for the comment i will try do this

Depends on the character I'm playing.
Usually I end up being this smartypants silver-tongued prospector, trekking through the Mojave and trading whatever I can get my hands on. Usually I get by, somehow I try not to be a jerk to other wastelanders so I dont steal, just forage cacti or look for an abandoned place to settle in.

On hardcore, there's something that's kind of essential to do; pick out a few guns (3-5: maybe one rifle, one pistol, one machine gun, one special [like a flamethrower], some explosives). Then you carry ammo exclusively for those weapons. This way you have much more WG to horde food, water, and other Aid items. The key is storage.

Thanks for all the coments guys

On topic. What do you think I should take as a wasteland farmer deciding to go from <Random Settlement> to Vegas? Can be both vanilla and from mods.
