Missiles are a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Guided explosives used by the missile launcher.

Weapons using this ammunition[]

Variants[]

Missile, high explosive[]

High explosive missiles deal an extra 35% impact damage, though the damage of the explosion itself is unchanged. They also have a 50% larger blast radius.

Missile, high velocity[]

This missile travels at 3.23 times faster than the regular missile, thus meaning it will reach the target quicker, which is helpful in mid-range combat.

Missile, hive[]

A subtype added with the add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal that shoots a "hive" of nine smaller missiles.

Notes[]

  • Missiles, like all forms of ammunition, have no weight. When playing on Hardcore mode, they become extremely cumbersome, making the missile launcher a somewhat impractical weapon. As of the 1.3.0.452 patch, all missiles weigh half as much as they previously did, at 1.5 lbs, and can be affected by the Pack Rat perk to even further reduce their weight.
  • Missiles can be converted into rockets in any workbench. This process yields two rockets per missile.
