It doesn't really fit the way I play is the main reason, which again, isВ super subjective. I don't rely on them because I don't want to wait for them, I also, don't always play dead money on every character. I also don't use ED-E and the SINKВ for every play through, and every character if they don't fit the role, so that's not always an option.ДЄs for waiting for weeks,В I wasВ talking about the sierra madre chips reward in the BoS bunker. If that's not the way you play your game, that's fine, I'm just explaining why I find it useful, and why I enjoy it over repair kits. You're relying too heavily on the idea that everyone is playing the same build, playstyle and configuration that you are.

If you're using JE Sawyer, with 3 strength to optimise other SPECIAL stats, then you have a base 100 carry weight. It lasts for a few days, until I go back to the base to pick up stuff or sell what I have. If it doesn't I can use one or two of the repair kits. Since time goes by so fast, that usually suffices. When the weapon condition falls below 75%, I ask ED-E to repair it. And there's no 'waiting for weeks to get a few supplies'. Trust me, that won't have an impact on your carry weight. I go to the base at the SINK, leave most of them stored and take around 4. When I get out of the madre I carry like 200 repair kits. If you're playing hardcore in 2020 you're the rule, not the exception. Sleep isn't a problem and once you make it to the strip and can buy atomic cocktails in bulk, you never need to sleep again.

And this is coming from someone who, for roleplaying purposes, won't eat any of the disgusting meats, just bighorner, iguana and squirrel. Fruit grows all around the wasteland, there's animals you can hunt and merchants who sell food, and it never rots. There's always a source of clean water nearby, whether it is a well or a water merchant, and bottled water is plentiful.

In fact, many of us use mods to make it even more demanding (I set it to 4x) because despite its name, hardcore mode isn't that hardcore at all. I don't know a single person who doesn't. I think you can cough up the money every now or then to get your armor Dude, when someone says 'I play in hardcore, therefore X', I don't think they realize that pretty much we all play hardcore. And that's not even considering the areas you can nuke (I usually only nuke the legion because I actually like the NCR), which have incredible loot.

You'll have so many caps that if you use a mod to give them weight, you might not even be able to continue because you have so many. You're going to be rolling in caps in no time. All you have to do is pick your opponents clean, and sell their stuff right there. Lonesome Road has these commissaries that respawn their money immediately every time they fall under 200 caps and there's a ton of incredibly valuable stuff lying around. First, the only item that genuinely benefits from this perk is power armor, and specially the Remnants armor, because power armor is very rare, and in the case of the enclave armor it can only be repaired with other enclave armor and there's only two of them in the game. Say you're not convinced, because armor can't be repaired that way. that you would never run out even if you never return again. You can buy enough super stims, repair kits, doctor bags, med x. So do the math: 5000 just by scavenging + 10000 from the casino + 1000 from the voucher + all the pre war money you get from vendors (a max of 15000). Now 1 voucher (1000 chips) is enough for 100 repair kits. That doesn't take into consideration the complimentary vouchers that you get. The Casino itself has a winnings cap of 10000. Mods that increase the difficulty usually make Pre War Money less valuable but that has the unintended consequence of making Dead Money even more lucrative, because you can buy all of it, and more Pre War Money, means more chips, once you get to the Casino. Again, if you're thorough, you can find a lot of stuff to sell to them. The Hologram vendors, of which I think there are 5 or 6.

The snowglobe alone gives you 2000, and with the amount of cigarettes and pre war clothes lying around (and keep in mind this is from someone who uses mods to clean the wasteland) I usually get the Chip aficionado achievement about the time I get the first member of the crew. I have no idea how many chips are in the Sierra Madre for sure, but if you're thorough, and I am, you can easily get at least 5000. Makes me wonder what game have they been playing. I once saw someone saying that 'you really should pick Tribal Wisdom (I think that's called, the one that let's you eat bugs) because food is so rare'.

Or maybe it was valid at some point but the DLC made the advice pointless and they never updated. There are a lot of people out there who think they're experts and they give terrible advice.
