Combine elites weren't badass though.


CDDedsec

they were actualy the easiest mob in the sequel thanks to OP gravity gun


ProfessionalOk4850

All the combine soldiers felt like robotic bullet sponges tbh


Has_Just_Left

Lore wise they kinda are as well


[deleted]

It’s kinda hard to notice in-game but they actually have a pretty good AI especially on harder difficulties, they like to suppress, flank, block off exits, etc


ProfessionalOk4850

If you increase their accuracy in the code they are very deadly


[deleted]

Yeah they can be a pain in the ass especially on MMod

Ncr ranger is badass


Woody90210

And by God the ncr are eager to ram that fact down your throat. Going on and on about how badass the rangers are instead of just showing us. Like, add in a random event of a legion raiding party getting ambushed and slaughtered by newly arrived desert rangers from Baja.


Opening-Ad8300

I may be wrong, but I'm sure there is plenty of moments that show off the Rangers capabilities.

Overpowered weapon. Always.

Fun fact about these bois.: The NCR Veteran Ranger and the Helghast soldier are indeed based on the Special Armed Garrison "Kerberos" from Mamoru Oshii's Kerberos saga.The Kerberos look like German soldiers because, as far as I know, Germany occupied Japan in this universe, and they stablished a new regime to rebuild the country's economy. Also, they served as inspiration for some of the Nazi soldiers (namely the Soldaten) in the Wolfenstein reboot.

Sir, this is a Wendy's


superdicksicles

Kinda want that helmet 🪖


Ok-Dragonfruit-697

Not surprising. Everyone seems to like the Nazi helmet aesthetically.


Crimsonbro

Colonel Radec was a different breed


DiamondEyedOctopus

That bossfight on Elite put hairs on your chest.


Crimsonbro

You know exactly what I'm talking about, him and that damn knife

The Iconoclasts from The Outer Worlds

The outer worlds was such an underrated game

I really liked Phineas Welles, he had this "guy on a wanted poster being spoken to in the flesh" vibe

Missing hunk from resident evil


thenonsenseone314

Man I wish they made a game about Jin roh, at least a mod of a game about it


JowettMcPepper

Would be a cool FPS, with a urban setting similar to Homefront: The Revolution (yep, I like that game)


JowettMcPepper

Seems that every gas mask-wearing badass nameless soldier was inspired by the 'Kerberos" corps of the Kerberos Saga. Which is the case for the NCR Veteran Rangers and the Helghast.


Elementia7

Fun Fact about the NCR Rangers from Fallout New Vegas: They are the only group of individuals even high ranking legionaries fear. Rangers are practically on par with Centurions or even elite field commanders. If a player were to enter the arena at some point they would end up fighting a female ranger whom even legionaries are terrified of. Despite the legion's opinion on women, viewing them as rather weak, many hold some respect for her as she has taken down every opponent in the arena. With her bare hands. They are literally so badass that they are the only thing standing between the Legion and taking over New California.


Falloutfan2281

They’ll even remark “I didn’t think anyone could beat a Ranger in single combat.” Veteran Rangers specifically are essentially exact equals to Centurions as Centurion armor consists of parts of Ranger Patrol armor (the rank beneath Veteran) meaning each Centurion has killed at least one Ranger.
