I. Recommended Stats - Helpful Notes
--------------------
There is already a level glitch in the game.  It will probably
be patched soon but you need to have a speech skill of 50 to
do it.  This will also net you the 50 speech wins really quick.
This game is sorta different when it comes to skills
of speech and bartering.  You actually have to have the skill
up to a certain level, it doesn't work on percents anymore.
You really want to get your speech skill up to 50 anyways 
because most people you are trying to lure with speech, need
it to be at least 50.  You want to start working on lockpick
and repair as soon as possible.  Lockpick so you can get into 
places.  I always reccomend getting it to at least 50 as well.
For repair you want it to be at at least 30-35.  This way you
can repair your weapons and get the repair achievement as well.
Science will need to be at 50 so you can hack all the way up
to normal terminals.  Computers seem to be really rare and
in between in this game, so probably the higher it is the better.
Don't get too happy with your points, you also need to level up
Guns or Energy weapons, whatever you prefer to use.  Might be
easier to just level up guns one playthrough and then energy
weapons on another if going for all achievements.  Same with
unarmed and melee as well.  This game offers a bunch of quests
but most are optional or you must complete to do the main
story quests.  Unlike Fallout 3, you don't get an achievement
for every quest in the game.
You may want to get your speech, science, and lockpick skills
up to 100 if possible.  There are quite a few surprises in the
game that require these stats at max.  Science really needs to
be at 100 so you can hack all terminals.  Lockpick being at
100 will save you the time of having to look for keys in a few
quests.


For The House Always Wins, Rendar Unto Caesar, For the Republic
and Wild Card you have to choose really which you want to do. 
So you can make two separate saves for these achievements 
once you come across them during the game.  As soon as you
complete Ring a Ding Ding and exit the TOPs casino, two guys
will run up to you presenting you with some quests.  One will
want you to see Caesar and another will ask you to talk to the
NCR.  Save right here and this will be your jump back save for
choosing who to side with.  Mainly the NCR will needed to be
sided with first because the other 3 sides are pretty open
up to a certain point.  For the NCR, you are just given a note
to go see the Ambassador in the southern camp in New Vegas.
He is located in the offices.

If you want to save yourself a little bit of time, go ahead
and go meet the Boomers in the upper right corner of the map.
Go ahead and get them to like you and then go complete Ring
A Ding Ding.  Now save and this way you don't have to repeat
their quests over 4 times while doing the endings.

Difficulty doesn't affect achievements except for Hardcore
Mode which is 1 achievement in its self.

NOTE: There are quite a few glitches and bugs in the game
right now so if something glitches, reload a previous save.
Be sure to save often.



NOTE: The XP glitch has been patched.  You can still do it
offline if you clear your cache on the dashboard.

    you get to Freeside, go to Atomic Wranglers bar and talk
    to the guy at the desk and ask him if he needs any help.
    He will tell you he needs some escorts.  Go around and
    look for a guy named Old Ben.  Convince him to go be an
    escort and he will run to the bar.  Now go back to the bar
    and talk to him, it will allow you to keep asking him to
    join, getting you a bit of XP and successful speeches.


D. Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal
  - Recruit any companion 10G
  - There is a glitch with Ed-E robot companion as of right
    now.  He tends to disappear so you may have to reload
    older saves to keep him around.


E. The Whole Gang's Here
  - Recruit all of the companions  25G
  - Here are the people that can join you.

  - Arcade Israel Gannon - Old Mormon Fort, You need either
             the confirmed bachelor perk or 75 speech for
             him to join you.

             mouth on duty after 9 PM.  He will want you to
             do a little quest for him to figure out what
             happened to his wife.  So talk to No Bark, the
             town crazy and he will tell you you should
             explore Dinky Dino's Hotel lobby.  Go there and
             crack the safe and find slaving papers.  This
             will show who actually sold his wife into slavery.
             You can also just make any random person walk into
             the front of Dinky the Dino to complete this.

  - ED-E   - Found in Primm, you need a repair skill of 65
             or a Science skill of 55 or you can fix him with
             3 scrap metals, 2 sensor modules and 1 scrap 
             electronics.  He is located in Nash's residence. 
             He won't join if you have Rex following you. 

  - Lillian Marie Bowen (Lily) - Jacobstown

  - Raul Alfonso Tejada - Black Mountain

  - Rex    - The King's School of Impersonation - You can

             completing GI Blues quest.

  - Veronica Renata Santangelo - 188 Trading Post

   
F. Crafty
  - Craft 20 items  15G
  - This can be ammo as well.  Find a work bench after picking
    up a bunch of shell casings and just keep making ammo.
    Really easy to get.  It can be 20 of the same bullet.

    Sent By TripleJump - You can also pick up a bit of scrap
    and break it down for lead.  Comes really fast with this
    method as well.


G. Mod Machine
  - Install 20 weapon mods 15G
  - You can install up to 3 weapon mods per weapon and once
    it is installed, it is permanent.  You buy parts from
    different merchants and you install them yourself on
    the pip boy menu. 
    Sent By TripleJump - You can also pick up a bit of scrap
                         and break it down.


H. Walker of the Mojave
  - Discover 50 locations  10G
  - see Master of the Mojave


I. Master of the Mojave
  - Discover 125 locations  25G
  - There are a lot of locations in Fallout New Vegas.  Most
    are close together and small places like some random house
    in the Wasteland.  You will find most places around
    Freeside/New Vegas.  When you hit level 20, you can get
    the explorer perk that allows all locations to appear on
    the map.  There are way more than 125 places in the game.


J. Globe Trotter
  - Find all the snowglobes 25G
  - There are a total of only 7.  They don't do stat increases
    like the bobbleheads on Fallout 3 but can net you 2,000 caps
    if sold to House the king of New Vegas. He lives in Lucky 38.
    You can also just display them in your house.

  - Goodsprings - Goodsprings cemetery, on one of the graves 
  - Hoover Dam - In the Hoover Dam offices, sitting on the welcome desk.
  - Mormon Fort - In the Old Mormon Fort, in the corner there is a 
                  door to the tower. Upstairs on a shelf.
  - Mt. Charleston - Jacobstown in Jacobstown Lodge, sitting on the 
                     reception desk.
  - Nellis AFB - Nellis AirForce Base, Nellis Boomer Museum.
  - Test Site - Lucky 38 Casino, Cocktail lounge on the counter 
  - The Strip - Vault 21 (Vegas Strip), locked room in the 
                northeast corner 


K. You Run Barter Town
  - Sell 10,000 caps worth of goods  15G
  - The higher your barter skill, the faster this will come.  Just while
    exploring the wasteland, pick up all guns and sell them.  You can get
    a lot more caps for weapons depending on their condition so if you have
    a decent repair skill, don't be afraid to combine weapons.  They will
    net you quite a bit of caps.  Also make sure people you sell to have a
    bit of caps.  You can check how many caps they have in the upper right
    corner on the sell menu.


L. Blast Mastery
  - Deal 10,000 damage with energy weapons 15G
  - You deal more damage depending on your Energy skill level. This is using
    Laser and Plasma weapons.  Doesn't matter if it is a two handed or one
    handed gun.  If you enjoy using energy weapons, this will come naturally
    during normal play.


M. Love the Bomb
  - Deal 10,000 damage with explosives 15G
  - This has to do with the Explosives skill.  The higher it is, the more
    efficient you can use explosives.  This counts for mines, grenades
    dynamite and explosive launchers.  You can usually find frag grenades
    all over the place and you find quite a bit of dynamite from the start
    of the game as well.  Just really want to abuse it and throw it at
    most enemies just to knock this achievement out of the way.
    

N. Lead Dealer
  - Deal 10,000 damage with guns 15G
  - This deal with basic guns that use standard bullets.  Pistols, rifles,
    and shotguns all fall into this category if they use actual bullets.
    Doesn't matter if it is a single handed or two handed gun, all count.
    The higher your gun skill, the faster you can acquire this but there
    should be no rush on it.  You will probably get it really early on
    no trouble because the game is mostly based on gun use.


O. No Tumbler Fumbler
  - Pick 25 locks   15G
  - Try to hold onto your bobby pins and don't force locks.  You don't
    want to risk breaking locks.  You need a lockpick skill of 15 for
    very easy, 30 for easy, 50 for normal, 75 for hard and 100 for
    very hard.  I would reccomend having it at least at 50 and you 
    should have no trouble picking 25 locks early on in the game.
    If you want to save bobby pins, try a lock two times and if you
    don't get it, cancel picking and repick, that way your bobby pin
    resets but the lock also has a different sweet spot.


P. Stim-ply Amazing
  - Heal 10,000 damage with stimpaks 15G
  - If you take a lot of damage while in the wastes, abuse some
    stimpaks if you want this early on.  Otherwise it should come
    easily during normal gameplay.  You can also hurt yourself and
    heal or crank the difficulty up so you take more damage.  The
    higher your Medicine skill, the more health you gain from
    stimpaks.


Q. New Vegas Samurai
  - Deal 10,000 damage with melee 15G
  - For this you may want to level your melee skill up.  It doesn't
    need to be too high but the higher the better.  Use weapons like
    baseball bats, knives, pool cues and Machetes.  Anything you swing
    you work fine.  Just keep cutting or beating up enemies and this 
    will come eventually.


R. Jury Rigger
  - Repair 30 items  15G
  - This deals with the repair skill and to me is a must to have a
    good repair skill.  This will save you a ton of caps since you
    can repair your own stuff.  All you need is a double of your
    weapon.  Example, you have a varmint rifle, you kill an enemy and
    pick their's up.  You can now go to your pip boy and use their
    rifle to repair yours and make it stronger.  Do this 30 times and
    you will get this.  Higher your repair skill, the higher you repair
    you item.


S. Hack the Mojave
  - Hack 25 terminals  15G
  - This deals with the science skill and like the lockpick skill, it 
    has to be so high depending on the level of the terminal.  There
    aren't too many terminals in the game that I have seen so you may
    want to max out your Science skill to get this one.  To hack a 
    terminal, you must access it and then pick the right code command
    to hack it.  If you mess up twice you may want to cancel and start
    again.  You don't want to lock the terminal down since they are
    rare in the game.


T. Artful Pocketer
  - Pick 50 pockets 15G
  - This deals with the Sneak skill.  You also have to have a pretty
    high sneak skill to successfully pick pocket people.  First you
    have to crouch and it will say Hidden or Detected at the top
    middle of the screen.  If you are hidden you can pick someone's
    pocket but you don't want to get caught or your reputation in
    that area will go down.

    Glitch
    Go to Vault 21 in the Vegas Strip. Once you enter go through the 
    doors and down into the vault. Keep going until you get into the big 
    open area with the blackjack and roulette tables. As soon as you come 
    down the steps you will see three people standing in a group talking 
    with each other. The man that is facing away from you in the brown 
    jacket and brown fedora hat is who you will be pickpocketing. Crouch 
    and inch closer to him and right when you see the pickpocket option 
    come up go into it. He should be carrying a bottle of dirty water and 
    some pork n beans. Now you can pickpocket him and the item you stole 
    will stay in his inventory. You can keep repeating this. Just steal 
    the dirty water, back out and save and then repeat. I say save because 
    you will randomly get caught so you can reload your save if you get 
    caught. You can pick his pocket an unlimited amount of times.


U. Outstanding Orator
  - Pass 50 Speech checks  15G
  - Just from playing through, you want to have a 50 speech skill.
    Most people you have to be at about 50 to convince them with
    you speech.  You can also use the glitch to go ahead and knock
    this out as well.
  
  - For the current XP glitch, get your speech up to 50. When
    you get to Freeside, go to Atomic Wranglers bar and talk
    to the guy at the desk and ask him if he needs any help.
    He will tell you he needs some escorts.  Go around and
    look for a guy named Old Ben.  Convince him to go be an
    escort and he will run to the bar.  Now go back to the bar
    and talk to him, it will allow you to keep asking him to
    join, getting you a bit of XP and successful speeches.


V. Desert Survivalist
  - Heal 10,000 damage with food  15G
  - There is tons of food in the game all over.  You may
    want to keep Rad Away on you as well because just about
    all food gives you Radiation.  Just whenever you get
    hurt instead of using stimpaks, eat you some food.  You
    can hurt yourself and eat food or you can crank up the
    difficulty to take more damage.  The higher your Survival
    skill, the more health you gain from food items. You can
    kill wild Brahmin and cook their meat at campfires.  These
    heal quite a bit.


W. Old-Tyme Brawler
  - Deal 10,000 damage with unarmed  15G
  - For this you may want to level your unarmed skill up. This
    works with Brass Knuckles and Power Fists as well. Anything
    that has a fist icon on it on the Pip Boy Screen. Just 
    keep attacking enemies head-on with your fists and you 
    should get this.


X. Know When to Fold Them
  - Win 3 games of Caravan  10G
  - Caravan is a card game you can play with
    random people in the wasteland.  You can
    purchase new cards from merchants as well.
    The first time you encounter this is in Goodsprings.  Right
    after the tutorial, talk with the guy hiding out at the Gas
    Station and he will ask you to play.  He will also teach you
    the rules.  You must win 3 games for this.  if you cannot
    remember the rules, copy the link below.

   http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Caravan_%28game%29
    


Y. One Armed Bandit
  - Play 10 spins of slots  10G
  - You will be able to play this when you get to New Vegas.
    There are also some slot machines in the Atomic Wrangler
    in Freeside which is right there at New Vegas.
    Just play 10 games and this is yours.


Z. Little Wheel
  - Play 10 spins of roulette  10G
  - You will be able to play this when you get to New Vegas.
    Just play 10 games and this is yours.


AA.Double Down
  - Play 10 hands of Blackjack  10G
  - You will be able to play this when you get to New Vegas.
    Just play 10 games and this is yours.


AB.Caravan Master
  - Win 30 games of Caravan  30G
  - Caravan is a card game you can play with
    random people in the wasteland.  You can
    purchase new cards from merchants as well.
    The first time you encounter this is in Goodsprings.  Right
    after the tutorial, talk with the guy hiding out at the Gas
    Station and he will ask you to play.  He will also teach you
    the rules.  You must win 30 games for this.  if you cannot
    remember the rules, copy the link below.

   http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Caravan_%28game%29



AC.The Courier Who Broke the Bank
  - Get banned from all the casinos on the strip  30G
  - You get banned by winning too much at a casino. You must get
    banned from all casinos.  There are only 3 casinos on the strip
    that you can get banned from.  One way to do this, buy 100 chips
    and then go to the Blackjack Table.  Save your game and then go
    all in and.  If you win, you double you chips, if you lose, 
    reload and try again.  Rinse and repeat until banned.  Blackjack
    seems to work the fastest but each casino will take you a bit
    to get banned from it.

    Gomorrah = Banned at 9,000+ chips.
    The Tops = Banned at 10,000+ chips.
    Ultra-Luxe = Banned at 15,000+ chips.
  

AD.Hardcore
  - Beat the game on Hardcore mode  100G
  - Hardcore has nothing to do with the game's in game difficulty
    of Easy, Normal and Hard.  It is a separate mode that carries
    on the with the difficulty you select.  So I would reccomend 
    playing on Easy with Hardcore on.  You will be first asked
    if you want to play on Hardcore right before leaving the Doc's
    house at the start of the game.  You cannot deactivate it at
    any time while playing through the game or you won't get the
    achievement.

    Hardcore mode makes the game more realistic by making Simpaks
    heal you over time.  Rad Away decreases radiation over time.
    You must eat food to survive.  YOu must sleep in normal cycles.
    You must drink water here and there or you will dehydrate and
    you must see a doctor to heal limbs or use a doctor's bag.
    Also companions can die and food does not restore health.
    Ammo has weight so you can only carrie what you can.


AE.Ain't That a Kick in the Head
  - Complete 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head'  10G
  - You will get this as soon as you start the game and
    create your character and do his beginning stats.


AF.They Went That-a-Way
  - Complete 'They Went That-a-Way'  25G
  - This will start as soon as start the game.  You have to
    ask around about the people that left you for dead in the
    desert.  You can help the people in Goodsprings first and
    then you will head to Primm where you must save the deputy
    who has been captured.  Once you save the deputy, he will
    tell you about the man who shot you and this will lead you
    to Nipton.  You will find the Legion has taken over Nipton
    and must report this or join their side.  You will then
    be led to Novac where you can talk to Manny Vargas that will
    want you to clear out the rocket factory of ghouls.  This
    will trigger the Come Fly with Me quest but you can
    just check his computer to see where Khan went.  You will
    then head to Boulder City and find two guys there.  The
    resistance is there and you will have to either go in and
    kill the guys or convince them to release their hostages.
    Whatever happens, once it is complete, you get this
    achievement and start Ring-a-Ding-Ding.


AG.Ring-a-Ding-Ding
  - Complete 'Ring-a-Ding-Ding'  25G
  - This will send you to New Vegas. This starts as soon as you
    complete They Went That-a-Way. When you get to New Vegas, you
    can go talk to Benny at the TOPS Casino. If your speech is high,
    you can convince him to drop his body guards and talk to you in 
    the presidential suite.  Once in the suite, he will convince you 
    to join him. If you decide to join him or tell him to leave the 
    suite, his body guards will attack you.  If you decide to just kill 
    him, you get the Platinum chip back and then can go talk to House.
    Doesn't matter what you do, if you tell him to leave, Benny
    will haul ass to a Bunker and you must follow after talking
    to House.  You will complete this achievement once you have
    talked to Benny in the Suite.


AH.The House Always Wins 
  - Complete 'The House Always Wins'  30G
  - This is a multi-part quest.  You must complete parts 1-7.

    Part I
    You get this quest as soon as you enter New Vegas strip the
    first time.  You are prompted to go visit House at the Lucky 38
    casino.  If you completed Ring-a-Ding-Ding first, depending on
    what you chose in that, depends on what House wants you to do.
    If you decided to kill Benny and take the chip, HOuse will want
    the chip to beef up his security bots.  If you didn't kill Benny,
    House wants you to chase him down and recover the chip.  House will
    offer you money and give you your own Suite as your home. Once you
    recover the chip, you will complete part I of the quest.  If you
    choose to destory the generators inside the bunker, you will fail
    Part I of this quest even if you beef up his robots.
  
    Part II
    Part II of the quest starts after you talk to House.  You must 
    hunt down Benny or go activate the chip at Fortification Hill to 
    activate a hidden Bunker.  Really depends on what you do with Benny 
    when you catch him at the TOPS.  After recovering the chip.  If 
    you give it to Mr. House, this will complete part II.

    Part III
    Your first task is to meet the Boomers.  You must talk to Mother
    Pearl and she will tell you to help around the camp.  Check
    Valore Quest for the specifics.  After you have their loyalty, 
    return to Mr. House and let him know the news.  
    This will complete part 3.

    Part IV
    First thing you have to do is to investiage the Omertas.  When 
    you get there, talk to the receptionist and she
    will then tell you go talk to Cachino.  He tells you that he 
    doesn't know anything.  Go check out his suite and find his journal 
    in one of the desks.  Return to him and he will tell you to go
    see Clandon.  Go see Clandon and you can check out his safe hidden
    behind one of the wardrobes.  You will find a Snuff film and you
    can blackmail Clandon with this to leave.  After he leaves, return

    You can get a Sonic Emitter from Loyal. This is keep you
    from really having to go in and kill all the ants manually.
    Either way, clear out all the ants and then switch the
    generators back on and return to Raquel to complete this
    quest.

    Talk to Loyal and this will start the Sunshine Boogie quest.
    You must fix the solar panels.  If you have a Science skill
    of 65, you can fix them yourself.  If not, you must travel
    to Repconn Test Site and collect pieces to fix the panels.
    Its really easier to just have your Science skill at 65.
    
    Report back to Mother Pearl and she will tell you to talk
    to Loyal about raising a Bomber from the bottom of Lake
    Mead.  Talk to Jack to get a rebreather so you can breath
    underwater.  Travel to Lake Mead and raise the Bomber.
    Equip the rebreather and swim down and attach the ballasts
    to the underside of the wings.  Swim back to shore and 
    activate the charges.  They will start beeping when you can
    blow them.  Equip the detonator and blow the charges.
    Then return to Nellis and talk to Loyal.  Afterwards go see
    Mother Pearl and this will complete the quest.
