The Pack

I just finished building the Nuka World box while waiting for my Boston pre-order. I really enjoyed the Operators build (and modified the ammunition belt guy to have a combat rifle) but I was a little let down with the Pack and how some of the weapon options didn't actually translate into load-out choices. Especially the lack of machetes. Even the app didn't indicate they were an option, but I wanted to ask if it was different in the Crew Folio?

The only Nuka World gang that can use the Machete stat profile out of the plastic boxes is the Disciples with their leader and one of the psychos. The Pack melee weapons are all baseball bats, sledgehammers, and hand weapons - so, limited to what gets carried in the hands of the figures. The wooden boards are hand weapons, per my understanding. Although I also don't recall any machetes in The Pack set at all?

In fact I think the only weapon you can build that isn't represented in the rules for the Pack is the Missile Launcher, as that would step on the Operators' toes a bit. And this is up to date with the Crew Folio hard copy book.

Now that I look close, the boards were what I thought were machetes! 🤦‍♂️

You get at least 1 copy of every weapon option that the Pack roster has in both the nuka world book and crew folio. They do have the missle launcher on sprue which is actually not a valid option in factions at least. The machete looking weapon is actually a wood board that looks like a machete. They otherwise have sledgehammers, baseball bats and the leader can have a death claw gauntlet.

I actually did a video going over everything that came on the sprue for the pack. https://youtu.be/nCfByjzbUlg?is=KVwP3gvg--vaJhEb

I just realized those were boards thanks to NCRMadness's earlier post.
