what do you think is the fastest way to make caps in this game?

console commands
gambling at casinos or playing caravan.

I horde and sell cigarettes, drugs, and prewar money.

Imagine smoking a 200 year old lucky stike

Jury Rigging

I made almost 100k caps in my last playthrough by the end without even selling my dead money gold bars even
>Collect as much as you can find and store it in a container
>Level up your barter and sell your shit firstly to venders with less caps but give you more per item, then other venders
>Keep leveling up luck until at least 6 or 7, then get naughty nightmare from Mick and Ralph's for +1 luck
>Use jury rigging perk to repair low condition but high value weapons and armor
That's about all you really need IMO.

How high do you usually raise barter? I always try not to dump to many points into it, but I don't like feeling jewed by shopkeepers so it's ~50 by the time I get to Vegas

I only raise to to pass the speech checks. Money is never a problem in this game.

Honestly I always ignored barter because I end up rich before long anyways

Raid and kill the Fiends (the raiders with laser weapons) and sell their weapon for easy caps.

Killing Caesar's Legion hit squads and selling their shit.

blackjack with 8+ luck is pretty damn fast

Jury Rigging perk.

Survival + Bloodsausage

Shit makes great money.

Dead Money :^)

Get Jury Rigging and high barter, repair high-value items with low-value items, flip for massive profits.
>repair a Super Sledge with nothing but pool cues
>repair high-value energy weapons with low-level energy weapons
>repair power armor with any ole shitty metal armor
>sell for massive profits

Early game if you need quick money, seriously, LEARN TO PLAY FUCKING CARAVAN IT'S NOT THAT HARD, THE GAME JUST SUCKS AT EXPLAINING IT.
Imagine playing 21, but you're playing 26 instead, and you can make multiple stacks.
Load your deck with cards that equal 26. Stick to only one or two combinations.
I like using 10s, 5s, 6s, and 3s at the start.

The face cards are "effect" cards. Only jacks (remove cards) and kings (double a card's value) are worth anything.
You can use them on yourself, OR on your opponent to fuck up their stacks.

WHOOSH, you know how to play Caravan now. Anyone you can play Caravan with, you can fucking clean them out easily.

I never bothered to actually figure it out. Same with Pazaak, Gwent, etc.
Most game suck at explaining how these games work and make them feel like a waste of time.

>all those Jury Rigging replies
How tho? Doesn't feel like I can reasonably reach high enough Repair by midgame unless I pump all the points into Repair each level up

>being a brainlet
Seriously get some INT son.

regardless of when it's available to you, it's still the fastest way.
early to early-mid game you can make plenty just from cleaning out casinos and Caravan players.

I actually do prioritize repair above almost everything else just to hit 90 and get JR. Then you’re set for the rest of the game.
Also why even rank it up above 90.

I don't know, but knowing this game, it's probably a glitch.

sell cigarette cartons

Intentionally fuck up the silver rush quest. Voila infinite energy weapons and the benefit of getting a bunch of war profiteers blown out of business.

I always rob them blind anyways.
Throw merch into a bucket, carry it into the bathroom, steal it all, repeat until you’ve cleared them out.

Most of my runs are Cass runs so it's actually just self defense.

Not very fair tho. What's even the point of sneak and shit if you can just loot everything with 0 skill?

Stealth is mostly useless in new vegas, anything you can't shoot, you can run away from.

9+ luck, run to the strip, bypass the guard for free, hit the tables.
Due to the winning cap you can only earn like 50k before getting cut off, but if you really want to you can just mod that limit away.

go to the casino with high luck retard

>Having money problems in New Vegas.
Caps are the last thing I have to worry about.
