Below is a description of what’s included in each pre-sell pack:


Fallout: New Vegas Classic Pack
An armoured Vault 13 Suit – Extensively patched up and dotted with piecemeal armour, this outfit is an homage to the classic ending of the original Fallout.  A Vault 13 Canteen – This handy device is useful for staving off dehydration and providing a small amount of healing in the Mojave Wasteland.  A weathered 10mm Pistol – A well-worn 10mm pistol that packs an extra punch despite its modest size.  5 Stimpaks – Food and water are good for long-term healing, but when the fighting is fierce, Stimpaks help keep Wastelanders upright.


Fallout: New Vegas Caravan Pack
Lightweight Leather Armour – This hand-modified suit of leather armor reduces its overall weight without impacting its ability to protect.  Sturdy Caravan Shotgun – Despite its rough appearance, this Caravan Shotgun will reliably fire 20 gauge shells until the Brahmin come home.  4 Repair Kits – Useful for repairing any outfit or weapon, Repair Kits are a valuable tool for any caravaner.  Binoculars — The Mojave Wasteland is a dangerous place, but with these trusty Binoculars you’ll be able to spot trouble coming.


Fallout: New Vegas Mercenary Pack
Lightweight Metal Armour – Modified for long-range travel, this Metal Armour sacrifices some protection for mobility and overall weight.  Mercenary’s Grenade Rifle – Though similar to other 40mm Grenade Rifles in the Mojave Wasteland, this model has a faster reload cycle.  3 Super Stimpaks – When you absolutely, positively, need to keep your blood inside your body, Super Stimpaks fix you up in no time.  3 Doctors Bags – Mercenaries and broken limbs go together like Iguana-on-a-Stick and Nuka Cola. Thankfully, these Doctors Bags take a bit of sting out of the inevitable crushed skull.


Fallout: New Vegas Tribal Pack
Tribal Raiding Armour – Pieced together from scraps of armour, this outfit provides protection without impacting mobility.  Broad Machete – This heavy-bladed melee weapon does high damage against limbs and can quickly deal out a flurry of attacks.  5 Bleak Venom doses – Useful on any Melee Weapon, Bleak Venom makes short of work of most living targets.  10 Throwing Spears – If you would like to silently pin an enemy’s head to a wall, Throwing Spears are the way to do it.
