The Vault Dwellers Stash

Based on the preorder DLC packs in New Vegas (and several mods along similar lines) these are a series of "starter packs" useful for specific character types.

They all contain at least one unique weapon and one unique piece of armor. The armors all have "enchantments" applied giving specific boosts to skills and attributes at the cost of others. They all also have several useful items relating to the associated character type (ie Prospector gets some skill books and junk, Escapee gets some prewar money, sniper gets some . 308 rounds, etc...).

Most of them are not too overpowered or immersion breaking, but combining items from the different packs can lead to early overpowered status. This is intentional as the point is to pick one for a character build and get an early start on that character. If you want to combine the different packs and get a more full on cheat experience, go right ahead.
