While I never do this, and it's relatively high-risk for a low-level character, you can try knocking over a merchant caravan. Their loadouts are randomized and you might get conventional firearms as well, which makes them a decent-to-good source of Hunting Rifles and (rarely) Sniper Rifles in the teen levels (you'll know they are carrying one if you start taking chunks of damage while wearing Combat Armor or better). You can get a Laser RCW and a Plasma Rifle or three early on that way, which makes things a lot easier early on if one is so inclined. My EW users regularly purge the West Pump Station and South Vegas Ruins of Fiends (it helps that there are multiple quests that send me to the vicinity) for parts and ammo, and anything not needed gets sold off.

Does anyone know any other good opportunites for this (esp possible in the early game)?ДЄdrian Morales Posts: 3474 Joined: Fri 3:19 am I did this while still on level 2 and ended up disproportionately tough and rich, without having to do very much killing or dying.ДЇinding or instigating battles has always been an easy (and very satisfying) way to rake it in in the FO games, morally dubious though it may be. If the battle goes the right way you can then scavange loads of loot from the corpses for plasma rifles, assault carbines, combat armour, really top stuff for so early in the game. You should do this from afar and then run off to the sanctuary of Jacobstown while the muties and the mercs duke it out. Once you get there, take the 2500 caps from Marcus and start a fight with the mercenaries.

Go on to Jacobstown, again sneaking and scavanging opportunistic stuff. In the NV area visit the gun runners and the clinic to stock up on bullets, stimpaks etc trading stuff you have found on the way. You will have to do a bit of sneaking and fighting as you are going to be level 1, but it is possible to get through to Vegas without having to fight anything bigger than a Bark Scorpion. Go straight to hidden valley and beyond to Niel's shack, then by just entering the corner of Black Mountain you can get through a little ravine into the area south of New Vegas.

On my second playthrough I discovered this get rich quick scheme.ДЇorget about Goodsprings.
