Fallout: New Vegas - Gun Runners' Arsenal Review (robilar5500)
Alright. Fallout New Vegas: Gun Runners' Arsenal is an interesting DLC. It comes with the Ultimate Edition, but let's assume somebody is buying the DLC individually. Is it worth 2 bucks?
In my opinion, yes. This DLC exists to make GNR gear available from certain merchants. And some of that gear is the type of stuff you can dial in your build with.
GNR sells some unique and very powerful weapons at their stand and elsewhere, for really any type of character build and features a good mix of early, mid, and late game weapons and weapon mods. The price in caps can be challenging, and that's going to be a contributing factor to playing through the Dead Money DLC with late game builds in mind.
The two guns with gun mods and ammo stacks I selected for my current playthrough and build cost around 40k caps, but some individual weapons can cost close to that. And so more than anything else, this DLC should be considered to be the real reward for finishing Dead Money.
Anyway, if you're just speedrunning through the world, this DLC won't mean much for you, but the more you explore and level up, the more this gear will really shine.
Note that there is also an achievement tied to using GNR gear, so just a heads up with that.
