Buy it as you normally would (buying while connected to VPN might result in an insta-ban of your account), preload the game, then on release day connect to a VPN with a New Zealand endpoint.

Do we know Never Ending is literally infinite ammo, or does it just not have an ammo capacity and runs through all the ammo you have rather than having to reload? It says "infinite ammo CAPACITY", not flat out "infinite ammo".

Also, can we add these ourselves with gun modding or are these things that are only on random items?

It's not infinite ammo, you just never have to reload. If a weapon has an ammo cycle (i.e. the hunting rifles pulling back its bolt after each shot) it still has to go through that. So that prefix seems to be best on machine guns.

The special gun prefix stuff is really dumb and bugs me, IT BREAKS MY IMMERSION. Perks having goofy bonuses is fine because they are an abstract thing. They aren't "real." Having the Revolver Of Ghoul Slaying is bad because the revolver is an object in the world. What makes this gun better at killing ghouls but not better at killing anything else? This shotgun has infinite capacity, did a wizard make it?

It's not a huge deal or anything but it breaks the spell and that's annoying in a game like this where you are ostensibly supposed to lose yourself in the world.

Also it reminds me of Borderlands which is unforgivable.

Well it was the menu scren, then the intro cinematic all in german, then that disapears into mist and suddenly your at the mirror making your dude, he runs around a bit, the make it to the vault, take their jumpsuits, and you go in one cryo chamber, and your wife and baby go into the one oppisite you and you chill out.

Some time later you see some guy open your wifes cryo chamber, take the baby, and when the wife objects shoots her in the head. Im thinking this is a guy your going to end up killing. He passes out again, then defrosts some time later. After that he climbed out and that s where the video ended

In all honesty, a lot of this series is so silly and weird that it doesn't bother me. Among my first perks is going to be Gun Nut because I really want to dig into the weapon building game.

Edit: Obligatory

But yeah, I get where you're coming from. It does seem like a rather big change to introduce, but they're entirely changing a lot of established things.

This but unironically. Why couldn't they have some interns spend 3 days to make some custom textures to make a bunch of unique guns and squirrel them away across the game?

My interest in the game went up after learning about the change to loot. Using the same gun for 60+ hours in 3 and NV was pretty boring.

If they just had some dumb flavor text box on every single one explaining the SCIENCE! behind it would that fix the game for you? Would the gameplay be actually better if it mentioned the gun contained a toxin application module that was best suited to shutting down the neural processes of ghouls or that the shotgun uses the teleportation technology from the institute to feed bullets from your backpack or whatever. Just fan fiction your own lore reasons the guns work the way it does. They don't really go outside the stuff fallout science is shown to be able to do.

Yes because then they'd be unique weapons as opposed to +5 Pistol of Burning.
