How to Use the Interactive Map

The Interactive Map both shows the location of key points on the map, and doubles as a collectible checker.

1. Click an icon on the right side to show all the pins of a specific type, or click the magnifying glass button to search for a specific pin by name.
2. Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.
3. From here, click Mark as Acquired to indicate that you've gotten a collectible already. This will change its icon on the map to show that it has been collected, and add 1 to that pin type's Counter.
4. To undo this, click on the same pin and click Restore to unclaimed.
5. To check how many pins you have marked so far, check the Counter in the bottom left, and click the icon that looks like a checklist to see counters for all pin types.
6. If the collected pins start to get in the way, you can hide them all by clicking the green Show Pins button on the left side.

Best Unique Armor

Gannon Family Tesla Armor and Helmet

The Gannon Family Tesla Armor is easily the best unique armor in Fallout New Vegas. It has a total of 32 Damage Threshold, just 4 points less than the Remnants Power Armor.

It adds 10 points to the Energy Weapons skill, increasing the damage done by Energy Weapons, and it also increases Radiation Resistance by a total of 25 points from both the armor and the helmet.

It does, however, deduct a point from the Charisma attribute, like the Remnants Power Armor, as they shares a similar appearance. The Gannon Family Tesla Armor has additional coils that add visual effects to the armor.

While it doesn't have the highest Damage Threshold, having only 8 DT, it does offer two points to both Guns and Melee Weapons skills, you also get to look like John Marston from Red Dead Redemption!

1st Recon Beret

The 1st Recon Beret is a piece of headwear that doesn't offer any kind of armor, but provides a +5 to critical chance, useful for getting those critical hits during combat. The beret also increases your Perception attribute by one point!
