I'd basically go kill a shitload of high-level enemies, take their weapons, and sell them to merchants all over the place. By the end of the game, I had something like 20,000 caps or something around that figure.
Also, the Fat Man seems like it got nerfed a lot.

Weapons a problem to find in New Vegas? No no no. They are rather easy to coem by early. I think somewhere in Goodsprings or somewhere right around there is a hunting rifle you can get almost right from the start.
The Fat Man and mini nukes do seam WAY underpowered. My last playthrough, when I was working for the Legion, I was down in the BoS bunker and they have some turrets all over the place. Shot the turret as close range as you can be without killing yourself and it barely took any damage. After three nukes it still wasnt even half dead. WTF!

One thing I'm worried about is the nerfing of unarmed combat. It's been overpowered as all hell in every Fallout game so far, but I haven't started my traditional "Fist of the North Star" playthrough yet so I don't know whether they kept it the same as the other three. I'm seeing a lot of boxing aids that cause "fatigue damage," which sounds like some bullshit. When I punch a man in the face in Fallout, I want that face to explode into a fine mist and fertilize the plant life.

Unarmed in New Vegas is insanely overpowered. Without even getting to many of the unarmed perks even. The only one you might need is the piercing strikes or whatever where you punch through armor. Get that and kill the guy outside Caesars tent to get his ballistic fist, that doesnt take shotgun ammo, and you will kill just about anything in one punch. If you crit you will even punch deathclaw heads off in one punch.
Oh and the Legion slam ability is balls awesome.
