doesn't do much damage against metal armour (and even less if you try
AP ammo, so don't.)

For that reason, IMHO you'd better get Vic in your party first. If
nothing else, it gives those guards an extra someone to shoot at. In
fact, you'll probably want to take Vic before even starting Lara's
quests, if you can afford that, since you'll probably get a level up
sometime during them, and it'd be nice to have the moron lavel up,
too, before a real battle.

Also in the western half, there's some geezer in a house full of
addicts, who'll get upset and make an "Animaniacs" type fuss if you
ask about his accent. (As a sidenote, that's the one thing I DON'T
like about this sequel: the heavy Out-Of-Character content, such as
references to its being just a game, or to cartoon shows or to Monty
Python. It definitely ruins my role-playing.) If you can bear to
wade through his BS and keep asking him, you find out he's a
shopkeeper of sorts. More of like a fence, actually, since he's the
one paying the kids to steal. He's got good merchandise, though, if
you have the cash, and here's where you can buy your missing items
back.

There's also a geezer named Joey, who can pinpoint New Reno and some
other town on your map. Not strictly necessary, since you can find
those locations (and more) from Vault City, anyway. He'll also offer
to sell you Jet, a highly addictive drug, for a ludicrious price.
About 10 times or so more expensive than anywhere else in town. My
advice is to stay clear of Jet, since it'll be a permanent addiction
until you get the antidote, and that's much later.
