Fallout: New Vegas pre-order incentives announced

New Vegas pre-order incentives announced

Bethesda today revealed Fallout: New Vegas pre-order incentives. Options are pretty open, what with four alternatives to GameStop and not necessarily inferior to GameStop's exclusive, which is usually the case with multi-retailer pre-order deals.

What GameStop offers is the Classic Pack, with Vault 13 equipment. Amazon follows up with the Tribal Pack, Best Buy with the Mercenary Pack, and Steam's shared exclusive with Walmart, the Caravan Pack.

The Classic Pack (GameStop)

Armored Vault 13 Suit - Extensively patched up and dotted with piecemeal armor, 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 Tribal Pack (Amazon)

Tribal Raiding Armor - Pieced together from scraps of armor, 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.

The Caravan Pack (Steam, Walmart)

Lightweight Leather Armor - This hand-modified suit of leather armor 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 Mercenary Pack (Best Buy)

Lightweight Metal Armor - Modified for long-range travel, this Metal Armor 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 Vault 13 Suit is featured about, just in case the "13" on its back wasn't a dead giveaway. Below, in the order that they appear, are the Lightweight Metal Armor, Tribal Raiding Armor (duh), and Lightweight Leather Armor mentioned in each "pack."
