Fallout: New Vegas Gets Retailer-Specific Preorder Packs

Think this New Vegas armour looks handsome? Then you’ll want to preorder the game through Steam or Walmart to receive the Caravan Pack, one of four retailer-specific preorder bonuses for Fallout: New Vegas.

Will you preorder Fallout: New Vegas through Steam, Walmart, GameStop, Amazon or Best Buy? These four preorder packs might weigh in on your answer. Each comes with a special outfit, like the armoured Vault 13 Suit of the Classic Pack, a special weapon, a various pieces of equipment to make your journey through the Vegas Wastes more tolerable.

Instead of weighing in once again about how much I hate retailer-specific preorder bonuses, I’ll just let you folks click through the gallery to see what goodies you get from which point of purchase.

The Caravan Pack, available when you pre-order through Steam and Walmart, contains:

· Lightweight Leather Armor – This hand-modified suit of leather armour reduces its overall weight without impacting its ability to protect.

· Sturdy Caravan Shotgun – Despite its rough appearance, this Caravan Shotgun will reliably fire 20 gauge shells until the Brahmin come home.

· 4 Repair Kits – Useful for repairing any outfit or weapon, Repair Kits are a valuable tool for any caravaner.

· Binoculars – The Mojave Wasteland is a dangerous place, but with these trusty Binoculars you’ll be able to spot trouble coming.

The Classic Pack, available when you pre-order through GameStop, contains:

· Armored Vault 13 Suit – Extensively patched up and dotted with piecemeal armour, this outfit is an homage to the classic ending of the original Fallout.

· Vault 13 Canteen – This handy device is useful for staving off dehydration and providing a small amount of healing in the Mojave Wasteland.

· Weathered 10mm Pistol – A well-worn 10mm pistol that packs an extra punch despite its modest size.

· 5 Stimpaks – Food and water are good for long-term healing, but when the fighting is fierce, Stimpaks help keep Wastelanders upright.

The Mercenary Pack, available when you pre-order through Best Buy, contains:

· Lightweight Metal Armor – Modified for long-range travel, this Metal armour sacrifices some protection for mobility and overall weight.

· Mercenary’s Grenade Rifle – Though similar to other 40mm Grenade Rifles in the Mojave Wasteland, this model has a faster reload cycle.

· 3 Super Stimpaks – When you absolutely, positively, need to keep your blood inside your body, Super Stimpaks fix you up in no time.

· 3 Doctors Bags – Mercenaries and broken limbs go together like Iguana-on-a-Stick and Nuka Cola. Thankfully, these Doctors Bags take a bit of sting out of the inevitable crushed skull

The Tribal Pack, available when you pre-order through Amazon, contains:

· Tribal Raiding Armor – Pieced together from scraps of armour, this outfit provides protection without impacting mobility.

· Broad Machete – This heavy-bladed melee weapon does high damage against limbs and can quickly deal out a flurry of attacks.

· 5 Bleak Venom doses – Useful on any Melee Weapon, Bleak Venom makes short of work of most living targets.

· 10 Throwing Spears – If you would like to silently pin an enemy’s head to a wall, Throwing Spears are the way to do it.
