i am a solo player that has played this game in the past in its earlier stages of development. ive always been a pretty big fan of solo pvp and taking on hard fights, despite the likely outcomes.
so anyway, im in NCR and overhear this guy named Suou trying to buy a faction base for 100k, and that he was going to meet some people somewhere. Whatever, I thought, you see people's whisper conversations all the time if you're just running through.
So I leave NCR and start looking for some pvp. Not much time has passed before I realize I forgot to bring ammo, so I went back to my tent, which is considerably closer to vault 15. After I get some ammo, I decide to check out V15. Looking at the map before I load in, I spot Suou wearing Combat Armor MK2, Laser Rifle, and 220ish HP.
At the time, I was a level 17, 148 hp SG sniper with night person perk for uber perception at night time. Luckily... it is infact night time. I decide, hey, what the hell, all I have is metal armor MK2 and an assault rifle. I might as well give it a shot.
So I sneak up, and load in. Suou doesn't see me because its night and my sneak is actually pretty good. I start opening up on him with some arm shots from outside his perception range.. AND HE SEEMS TO BE UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE HE WAS GETTING SHOT. 4 or 5 shots in, hes down to 180 hp, and I crippled his arm, made him drop his weapon. Miraculously, he doctors himself, picks his gun up, stims himself up, runs away, drugs up, and begins to start fighting back. This whole time he is doing this, I have been laying into him with shot after shot from outside his range. He was attempting to use the shed in the middle of the map to give me line of sight issues, but he never knew where I was so he wasn't really doing anything but running around stupidly.
Anyway, I get him down pretty low and decide, there is no way he will be able to kill me, so I move into close range and start layin down some more pain. His laser rifle was largely ineffective against my metal armor 2, but he did manage to knock me out with a 5-dmg head crit, and he almost got away. Buuut, I had crippled his leg so he was forced to walk out, and I got up in time, and planted a few in his back. He keels over, I run up and say, "Good Fight"
I go to loot... AND HE HAS 100,000 CAPS ON HIM FROM TRYING TO BUY A FACTION BASE! LOOOOL!
