give you a lot less $2000.

Learn how to avoid the diminishing returns on selling heavy weapons in Fallout Tactics. Discover tips on scavenging, using vehicles, and managing medical supplies.

Hey there! So, you've probably noticed by now that selling those big, awesome heavy machineguns you find isn't quite as profitable as it used to be. The game starts to give you a lot less than $2000 for them, which can be a real bummer when you're trying to fund your squad.

This is what the game calls the 'point of diminishing returns.' Basically, the value you get for selling larger weapons just keeps dropping. If you're not hauling a vehicle with you, it might be best to just leave those less valuable guns behind. However, if you do have a vehicle, even the small scouter has unlimited inventory space, so you can load it up with everything you find. Don't bother trying to sell them if you can't carry them easily!

Pro-Tip: Medical Supplies

Here's a neat trick from Rob Healy: Medical officers often keep their supplies in their pockets. If you have a character with a decent Steal skill, you can swipe their meds! While they don't magically restock, this can be a lifesaver. If you don't have a dedicated thief, don't worry. After you finish the Quincy mission (that's mission 6, by the way), you can recruit Babs the ghoul. She comes with the Steal skill, so you can bring her along just for those quick supply grabs and then send her back to base.

Advanced Tactics: Using Drugs on Allies (and Enemies!)

Rob also shared a rather… *aggressive* tactic. Drugs can be used on other characters. If you administer more than six doses of a drug (Voodoo is recommended because it's cheap and plentiful), the target will overdose and be knocked out. Any more than that can actually kill them.

He suggests trying this out in the bunkers early in the game. If you don't mind potentially losing some of your own squad members (ouch!), you can use this to take out enemies or even allies without initiating combat. This can be useful if you know a tough fight is coming up and you want to clear out some potential threats beforehand, or maybe just grab some sweet gear from fallen comrades.
