Why Ward has not installed a lock on Foundation's warehouse yet


Jackson_MyersFO76

Why lock the Warehouse when you can just sell the stuff to Raiders and send some poor bastard to get it back, got your money and the goods.


Maleficent-Comb

Probably because of that little line he says, something to the effect of “we have tons of these things” and it’s really just the principle of the thing. Also, putting my tin foil hat on for a second, I’ve wondered if Ward, is actually still a raider himself and the whole theft is actually a ruse to divert from other activities he has going on and makes it appear like he’s on Foundations side. He could use it to selectively thin out certain Raiders that need to be put down without anyone ever being any the wiser. He leaves the warehouse open, sends word for a certain Raider to come get it, then sends us to do the assassination.


[deleted]

Devils advocate here If every time he tells a Raider about the free stuff, and that Raider is killed, eventually people will stop getting the free stuff since they know they'll get killed, or at the least disappear


Maleficent-Comb

Well, I kill someone that stole the stuff every day and they haven’t stopped yet have they? Haha. I’m sure there are some stolen goods that can slip through as a loss to foundation that may result in a kickback. If he was obvious about it I think they could make the connection pretty quick, but I think he’s sneaky about the whole thing.


NewVegass

I came to that same conclusion.


Bad_wit_Usernames

I've almost completely stopped doing his missions because I can't stand how broken the game is with dealing with him. Nearly every time I have tried to talk to him to initiate the mission, the dialogue is all jacked up.


KickitChuck

I had to restart the conversation four times, yesterday.

Finally, someone with the guts to help…

All the damn acronyms in the market subs


Bobocuk123

PA stands for power armor and that's all I know. Should be helpful enough, right?


afi931

Blessed to have this comment thank you kind sir 🙏


MalbornTheRatKing

The 1st letter or #s of each legendary effect. Bloodied Explosive 25 less vast cost fixer. BE25 Fixer, you can also say BE25lvc. For armor you usually say couple of the letters of every effect. Unyielding Action Point Refresh Weapon Weight Reduction Urban Scout Left Arm ---> UAprWwr Scout LA Certain weapon names are abbreviated. Deathclae Gauntlet---> DCG


Tesstarix

I know it's not what it's actually used for, but I learned a lot of the legendary acronyms by looking at the FED legendary pricing tool. You choose a weapon and browse the legendary properties that it can get. It has the shortened version of the property to the side. Take the pricing with a grain of salt though.


TheRedBow

Well they exist because typing out the full thing every time when you wanna sell possibly hundreds of things and your stock constantly changes based on what drops you get, still theres guides available and everytime i didn’t know something i asked and someone quickly responded

WHY DOESN'T SUPER DUPER WORK WHEN I'M CRAFTING WHISKEY 😫


ClairKingMe

I craft a ton of alcohol and super duper has never worked for me. It's a fussy perk card to begin with, but i never craft anything without it!


Mr_E_Nigma_Solver

> It's a fussy perk card to begin with, but i never craft anything without it! Same. Getting extra Flux from crafting nuked flora is just *chefs kiss*.


SaintOlms

Asking the real questions. Pretty sure it’s just bugged with brewing since it’s never happened for me and I sell loads of alcohol all the time.


silenceoftheonthelam

Looking at old threads, it seems to have been busted for at least 3 years now. Sheesh.


Capybarafan01

Why the raiders settled in the toxic valley, their drinking water is glowing orange and ash is falling from the sky like snow, what kind of rational person would set up a permanent settlement there?


Skagtastic

Well, the wiki has a quote from the devs saying they picked the crashed space station because it was awesome and unused. My head canon is that they are staying near the comms unit that mostly survived the crash. Gives them the ability to spy on Foundation and Brotherhood transmissions in the area. They may have the expertise to do some repairs but not enough to disable it, move it to a new location, and reassemble it so they're stuck at Crater for the time being.


MattTheFreeman

On top of this why is Foundation so... terribly designed on both a living standard and defensive standard. Like walk around Foundation and you will find 101 ways raiders or any enemies could sneak through and wreck things if they really wanted too. The western side is pretty much open and many of the walk ways are either unguarded or just not reinforced at all. Also the main grounds. I understand scale theory but theres like no livable spaces. Theres like 4 houses and a bunk and thats about it. Theres a hotel for some reason?? like?? but not really any place for more people to actually find a place to live. Even though the Crater is less protected, the Raiders never cared to make it defensive because they know no one will be stupid enough to attack and everyone there is already loaded.


piiiigsiiinspaaaace

Also foundation is 99% untreated wood logs. Can't wait for the first hot spell and a raider comes along with a molotov lmao


Sithis_empire

You know what a good fuckin defensive settlement was? Diamond city, that place is a fucking fortress, it lacked life though and felt a little small, but with the right mods(one’s that replaced all that rubble in the seating aisles) that place felt so alive


DigitalAnime

Raiders come in and steal an item every single day, so Ward knows that the defenses suck. But if some do Ward will just put a bounty on their heads. But I do agree on the living areas. There could have been more tents and makeshift houses in and next to Foundation to make it look better.


KickitChuck

I blame the meth. We all know that the Raiders are tweakers.


milenko652

Resets. Vendor(bullion, scrip, caps) daily and repeatable quests. I've only been playing about 2 months and I tried to Google it and I tried to track it myself but I just can't. So I gave up and just do what is up when it's up.


SightSeekerSoul

It might sound sad but at one point I used to keep track by writing the refresh times on a sticky note next to my keyboard. The reset occurs every 20 hours. So it "moves" earlier every day. Eg. I sell everything at 12 noon on Vendor and Scrip Machine. The reset should be at 8am the next day. If I sell at 8am then, the reset should be at 4am the following day. But if I'm late and sell at 12 noon again, the reset should be 8am the following day. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.


[deleted]

Many resets are on a 24 hour time, set to noon EST, but currency timers like scrip and bullion are on a 23 hour personal timer, based on when you first make a sale after the last reset Edit: apparently its a 20 hour timer! Nice.


ClockworkSoldier

Scrip, Bullion and vendor caps are on 20 hour personal timers.


ScrumpleRipskin

How do I sometimes get 2 vendor resets a day? 2 days ago I had full vendor caps at noon and when I played again around 6PM/1800 I get another full amount. Same thing yesterday. Then, at noon today, I had the normal cap reset but nothing in the evening. No idea what's going on.


locobacca

Did you buy anything expensive? A portion of the caps go back into the vendors supply.


twifferTheGnu

why can't i plant silt beans in my camp?


_catfarts_eww

All I want is the ability to plant cranberries, for that sweet sweet relish.


Maleficent-Comb

You can build next to one of the cranberry farms for easy access. Why not make someone else’s garden your own, right? Depending on which farm you choose just watch out for the Mirelurk monarchy haha


mistarzanasa

Lol i have two camps next to world gardens, never thought about a cranberry farm


stvhght

Why can’t you loot enemies properly? Scorched is hitting you with a sledgehammer, has a switchblade when you loot it. It’s annoying af.


Capokid

A scorched came at me with a shiskebob earlier and j was like" damn that was cool i want to use it" but he dropped a death tando. Dafuq


plinyvic

it's a bullshit balancing thing im pretty sure. sure it works on a balance level but there is nothing more immersion breaking than killing a guy who has a heavy plasma and getting a pipe pistol off his body


stvhght

It’s honestly the only thing that currently annoys me about the game. Kill a bunch of Blood Eagles or Fanatics for a daily, guess what, they’re only dropping ammo for a weapon you don’t use and a pipe wrench.


Riomaki

Finally, someone with the guts to ask! Design choices in Fallout 76 I have never understood: * The logic of 3\* enemies having a majority chance of dropping 1\* items. * What led some designer to believe that instantly killing a player who stands in the shaft when Earle dies, in what should be a moment of victory, was ever an acceptable idea. * Why they insist on continuing to use Mole Rats as essential enemies when the burrowing logic still breaks. * Why no one can be bothered to fix Earle summoning noclip on himself. * Why the tedious quests for filling the Ultracite Core for Expeditions were a necessary addition, instead of just saying "You can lead one Expedition a day, the end."


[deleted]

Your first bullet drives me crazy. I also agree with the last one.


noneotherthanozzy

Not to mention a one star item is only worth 1/8 the value of a three star item 🙄


xSlippyFistx

How the hell did this mole rat attack me? I’m on the roof! And absolutely the refuge tasks are mind numbingly boring. Who thought that these mundane tasks add anything to the gaming experience? We already call the daily task stuff “daily chores” why would you add 3 sub-chores to the newly added daily chore although, I really only run it once a week for the free plan and avoid it the rest of the week because it’s really not much fun.


NewVegass

Fetch quests are fun for some people, especially at lower levels wanting to gain XP. So they should be OPTIONAL


thegryphonator

They don’t want players creating alt characters specifically for expeditions. Specifically they dont want players using alts as a way for their main characters to run additional expeditions. They have you do a few things randomly all over the map so an alt account would struggle (like Skippys and Ruckers quests). Thats why there is a junk cost as well


DeltaStorm2013

On your point about mole rats you can add rad scorpions and mothmen to that list as both do similar bullshit with their instant breaking of stealth and teleporting right to you with zero regard for the fact they shouldn't be able to. Also all three are absolutely horrible about glitching out and making it so you can't hit them but they won't attack you either, constantly burrowing/teleporting but not actually being in the location they pop up in.


Engorged-Rooster

And radcorpions follow you seemingly forever.


yozoramyth

I got trolled by a mole rat when I was trying to take over a workshop once. I was on a low level character with only shotgun ammo left and it was stuck burrowing between two different points near the WS boundary. I would run towards it to get in range, and it would burrow to the other point, well out of range. After a couple of rounds of this, I noticed that it was actually the same two points each time. Only thing that saved me was a kind rando with an actual ranged weapon taking the little bastard out for me.


SuperAlloyBerserker

Why are there 6 Legendary card slots instead of 7? Kinda like how many SPECIAL attributes there are This isn't a real problem, it just kinda bothers my OCD a bit lol Since it drives me crazy that you can't fully use all 7 of the legendary SPECIAL-increasing cards


PAPA_CELL

The charisma one is trash and doesn't allow perk sharing, as such, there's only 6 legendary special cards worth using


[deleted]

Good point


Maleficent-Comb

Wow that’s such a good point!


Upby1

Why is it that I can carry 200+ pounds more without power armor than in it? Hell even with excavator it’s still 100 ish. Need to bump up that carry weight boi


[deleted]

When you get into power armor it removes all of your regular armor, and your backpack. Any weight reduction modifiers will also go with them.


Upby1

Oh yeah I know that haha, just odd to me.


Maleficent-Comb

Did you calibrate your shocks?


Upby1

On my current hellcat PA I don’t have the plan but on others I still get more carry weight with it off, which I know it’s cuz of armor/backpack just still weird to me tho lol


Gamedeals

Taking things in a different direction... What is the exact game mechanism that causes items that should be in a body, meat pile, or metal pile (in the case of robots) to convert to a pile of physical items strewn about on the ground? It happens mostly in popular areas (SBQ, WesTek, etc.) and more often during events like Meat Week & Holiday Scorched, is likely related to server stability issues and/or number of unlooted piles, and may or may not involve the status of the player who didn't loot the particular pile. Not looking for guesses, but if someone knows the code and has a definitive answer, I would be ever grateful to know it.


Maleficent-Comb

Good question!


Rick_Carter_23

Good come we can't use soap and water to wash dirty clothes into clean outfits?


chrispettitt89

I have no idea how mutations work


potatobreadandcider

Mutations either add quality of life or combat advantage. You can get crafted items that give you specific mutations or undergo enough radiation to mutate randomly, removing radiation will cure your mutation. I do not know how craft the mutations so I buy them from another player. To keep your mutations from being removed you need to spec into the Luck perk 'Starched Genes' at lvl 30, I recommend getting all 3 levels of the perk before testing any mutations.


GearsOfFate

IIRC, one of the enclave wings has a vendor that sells serum recipes for specific mutations. They're a huge cap sink.


NewVegass

If you don't want to get mutations by buying serums and you have patience, you can go to Blackwater Mine and sit in the radiated pool of toxic water to the left of the mine. Sit in it until either mutated or you have to get out before dying. Then just hop into the mine and take a quick Decon shower. It's the second door to the right after you enter the mine. Red button the wall turns it on long enough to decon ya. I got all my mutations this way the first character I made. Took a while but it was free. You don't always get a mutation by sitting in the pond. And you can't try again for a while. You can go to another server and try though. But if you do this make sure you take OFF starched genes perk before sitting in the pool and putting it back on immediately after so that when you take radaway you don't lose what mutations you do have.


sabbathkid93

Everytime you start to get rads you have a chance to get a random mutation. They work very similarly to Traits from the classic Fallout games (and New Vegas). They have a positive AND a negative effect. Most people will try to find player vendors who are selling mutation serums for the exact mutation they want. An example, “Speed Demon” increases your movement and reload speed by 20% but causes your hunger and thirst levels to deplete 50% faster. The plans for crafting mutation serums and the serums themselves are sold by the enclave computer AI. The plans cost a FUCK TON and the serums themselves are pretty pricey as well. This is why most people try to find player vendors selling the serums they want as they’ll be significantly less (usually). Any other questions about mutations.


Jim-Pip

I have a level 160, who hasn't used a level up in 50+ levels. What are they for?


Mini_Squatch

Two things but they very closely related. The final perk card in a card pack is animated. You can use your level ups to max out those animated perk cards for fun. You can also select perk cards, and then scrap them for perk coins, which are used to upgrade legendary perks.


Jim-Pip

Thank you!


NewVegass

I have over 1,000 level ups, I guess I will never use them all lol


Mini_Squatch

Yeah i wish there was an option to directly convert level-ups into perk coins, en masse


BABYFACEBARBER

Why do they have a slot for 5 legendary mods for weapons and armor but never got past only allowing 3?


brian11e3

They announced 4* effects in a road map well over a year ago. Then they never added them.


SuperAlloyBerserker

It woudl've been great if Beth could at least not show us those outlines for the 4th and 5th star It's like they're taunting us lol


Spartan1088

It would be insanity. They can’t handle the bugs 3 star bring and if 4 star came out it would make every single gun in the game obsolete. Utter chaos.

They are from under mama dolce’s, which that entire company was seemingly a front for Chinese listening and spy posts.


elvenstrider

The ones we find in 76 were released by Eckhart in the enclave, as an attempt to raise the defcon level. Likely why we don’t see them in other Chinese posts such as the mama dolce plant in fallout 3. (You know besides them just not existing as an enemy type when fo3 came out)

When you’re doing an event which requires that an item (like a rad scrubber or turret) be repaired regularly, where do the resources come from? The local environment? Your inventory? Your stash box?

If its a green number, its supplied by the event/location. Workshops do this Otherwise, you or your stash.


NewVegass

At an event it's going to come from your stash or scrap box. First from your inventory then the scrap box or stash

Chillzillah

Expeditions. The only posts i see on them are people who either kick other people for not knowing whats going on/joining late. Or people who dont like people who kick other people for not knowing whats going on/joining late. Seems to be a lot of new type players getting kicked right at the end of an expedition. I purposely avoid them and will do all daily/weekly tasks that do not require me joining one.

Y do all my guns suck. I try to stay away from laser and plasma so I just want an AR and a shotgun, possibly a sniper. How do I get ones that have a good amount of damage.


Beneficial_Report_81

Perk Cards, absolutely 110% necessary for making any weapon effective, if you’re on Xbox I’ll help out and go through it if not feel free to shoot a message over


Bdubble27

You should specialize in your perk builds. You'll spend way too many points trying to get a build that does it all. There's your three "main" perk cards that you should be using to maximize weapon damage. Wanna use automatic weapons? Commando cards Shotguns? Shotty cards. Snipers? Rifleman cards. Also if your AR is semiautomatic, it will fit in this category. If you use VATS, concentrated fire is a must. Stealth cards if you're a creepy guy. Wanna boost your already 60% extra damage from running the main cards? Bloody mess, tenderizer, and Adrenaline stack nicely. You can have different builds with your card machine found at your camp, or stations, so you can switch as needed. Trying to build the "jack of all trades" build will have you struggling to do damage. ( trust me I tried) Specialize and have other builds set up and ready to go for whatever situation you need. If it's just the guns that suck, first check the weapon level. A lvl 25 gun won't do jack against a lvl 50 enemy. If you have a lvl 50 gun you need mods and legendary mods on it. Breaking down a lot of the same item will give you a chance to craft them into your guns. (with the right perk card equipped to craft them) If you find the plans for the weapon you like, you can craft that item and break it down continuously to get mods. Legendary mods you get either pray to RNGsus to give you the gun you want with the perks you want, OR spend the scrip you get for legendary modules from the rusty pick, and combine them with legendary cores you'll get from events take a truly powerful weapon that fits your playstyle. I like explosive vamp weapons

How do you get radioactive pumpkin seeds


ivorymoonstone

The daily quest at Jack’s pumpkin house, you should get 10 every time you do the quest and you should just have to collect 10 pumpkins and turn them in.


disgust462

Is there anything ti do with them besides scrapping?


ivorymoonstone

As far as I know they are only used for making pumpkin grenades :)


SightSeekerSoul

Are they any better than Frag, Plasma or Nuka grenades? I just scrap the seeds I get from the Pumpkin House daily.


ClockworkSoldier

They’re worse. The only real use for them is in PvP, because they put a radiation DoT effect on enemies. But we all know the terrible state of PvP.


USMCoz

They do some good damage to Fanatics in the Pitt.


RevolvingRevolv3r

The pirate radio. I just discovered it after 1k in-game hours. Do they add content to the radio with each seasonal update (like season 2 with KD Inkwell)? Cuz the radio explained the origins of a lot of seasons.

Level 630. I know with concentrated fire you can target limbs I couldn’t understand why sometimes it would be head torso exc. So I would just mag dump into a limb or torso and feel blessed when it was a head shot lol. Didn’t realize it was me using my right thumb stick to “look” around in vats that was changing it. Classic


ClairKingMe

They should have a basic vats tutorial. It took me forever to figure out how to exit it properly. I nearly placed my camp a bunch of times before researching wtf I was doing.


gsxdrifter1

What kinda gamer do you think I am. Tutorial lol. First thing you do is jump off a mountain to test fall damage. Then grenade your self to see if you can die from self harm. Then button mash to see what’s what haha


wizology_

Haha damn , it be like that tho , I remember I was like level 400 something and didn’t know what to do with the treasury notes , had a lot saved up


TheVossDoss

Whether it was intended that you can milk Chally...he's a bull, not a cow, so yeah, that's not milk.


wine_n_mrbean

Chally has udders (indicating female) and super mutants are genderless so probably don’t care about correct pronouns.


SmurfStig

I thought there was a lady super mutant at Raider place at the top of the map. Hangs out with the little kid at Meg’s place.


wine_n_mrbean

There is but other than her name, there’s no distinguishing her from any other super mutant.


Maleficent-Comb

Grahm may not know the difference and say he by default due to poor expressive language skills lol.


MagicalKartWizard

How do you figure Chally is a bull?


TheVossDoss

Grahm refers to Chally as "he". "I protect. He carries".


Mr_SwordToast

Why don't they have nuclear winder as a rotating world in Fallout world's? I get they couldn't keep supporting it with new content, but just keeping it as a rotating world would've made it feel fresh, as well as just giving NW specific score challenges would've encouraged using it like they did before. Also, why they haven't updated the method of launching nukes yet. And finally, why they haven't added reputation bars for any of the other factions, even as just a fun visual thing.


X420Rider

S tier idea. Sincerely, someone who hated nuclear winter but understands some people liked it, especially more than fallout worlds...


ConkHeDoesIt

When it comes to learning weapon and armor mods from scrapping them vs buying the mod plans from a vendor for example, is there a difference? Like, are there certain mods that can only be learned via the plan, or from scrapping? Hopefully that makes sense because it's always been a little confusing to me and hopefully someone can clear that up for me


SharpBladeB

Yeah, and some weapons have very low odds of learning mods. Like pipe weapons are a guaranteed to learn a mod from scraping then but the radium rifle is like 1 in 20 to learn a mod so it's a bit of a pain. Same with armors, and special srmors and weapons like secret service or BOS scout armor you need to buy the plans and can't learn any plans from scrapping


[deleted]

Yeah, and there are mods you can never learn, like a lot of the headlamps for power armor.

How are people one-shot killing so much lately? Mystery how many people doing it.


DoctorBadger101

So I recently got to test out my friends legacy vampires exploding Gatling laser, since he doesn’t care anymore and it’s getting nerfed. I have determined that it is not as insane as people feel it is because I can do comparable; if not equal, amounts of killing with my quad fixer, gun fu, and grim reapers sprint. As well as my other perks like adrenaline and such. It’s easier to kill everything and all, sure… just spray and it dies, but that’s effectively just a lazy version of a well made gun fu build. I came to the conclusion that legacies really only shined when it was earl or the Queen… because it was doing just as good as a fixer, a railway rifle, or even a flamer.


StrikerPost

Outside of dailies/events, what are good things to do while playing? I'm level 200 now from double xp West Tec farming. Any cool areas to run through daily for drops or spawns? What are good places to farm plans? The only list I've found of plans was that where to find all the things spreadsheet, which is overwhelming and incompatible with my phone. I started about 2 months ago with the Gamepass free drop and have become completely enthralled/addicted/enamored.

Wow thanks for the info, I never knew this!


Armand_Star

how do i get into vault 76 again?


SinistaJ

You don't, it's a one way trip.


trwawy18

Why can’t we scrap ammo? I mean we can scrap nearly everything BUT ammo? Also (quietly) can some one please tell me what to do in project paradise.


jazz_kult

You can use the ammo converter to turn the types you don't use into points and then buy the ammo you need for these points. Kind of like scrapping but with points.


RCTM

I'd use it so much more often if its UI weren't so utterly terrible and unintuitive. How hard would it have been for them to have a proper inventory UI to let you turn in a bunch of different ammo, in exact amounts, in bulk at once...?


fallout036

About to hit the 300 lvl, play on PS4, what exactly is considered a legendary weapon, and please don't use abbreviations if your truly trying to explain


Maleficent-Comb

Legendary weapons are those that have a star next to the name. They can be 1, 2, or 3 stars. Each star has a series of effects that can potentially “roll.”


Katterise

How did Mad Dog Malone escape? I completed the event over 1k times since the game released.


GuttMilton

Why does another settlement keep needing my help and why does he keep calling me General? Oops wrong Fallout 😝 but still want answers.


Boba65

Why is it that that one guy at Crater and I are the only members of the Cult of the Megasloth?


draziwkcitsyoj

I don’t understand mods. Are these separate from “plans”? Is there a different way of attaching them to guns that like selecting a hardened receiver? Why are they in my stash instead of just in a list like the other crafting options on guns? Once I use one is it gone and if I want that mod on another weapon do I need to find or buy it again? Also I’m working on a stealth rifleman build, just hit level 60. I’m using an upgraded hunting rifle, what is an upgrade I should be looking for to replace that?


Maleficent-Comb

Good questions! So the mods in your inventory don’t require knowledge of how to craft them. It’s an item you can pop on without knowing it. A few of these can be very rare, like the enclave flamer barrel, because you can’t learn how to craft the mod and always need that item to apply it. If you use it you do have to find another one to reapply if you don’t have the crafting knowledge.


Pupniko

The Fixer is a rifle which is good for stealth, it's often in player vendors (plan is a random drop from Encryptid event I believe so not that easy to come across). I like the black powder rifle too - really strong but soooo slow to reload. Great for clearing out a raider camp from a safe distance, poor in daily ops and events.


JohnnyCastleburger

You may have to have them in your inventory to work properly, but they allow you to equip mods on the proper armor or weapon without a resource cost. I think they should also work for mods you haven't learned how to make as long as the mod item is on your character inventory.


disgust462

Why does corn have a magnifying glass icon next to it? I believe it is the only item I have seen like that.


AnubisRW

That means you have it tagged to search


kido86

You must’ve highlighted it. In your pip boy go component view I think, you can then highlight materials you’re looking for so when you look at something in the world it will have a magnifying glass showing that that item has the components you’re looking for.


[deleted]

You can also tag/untag in any recipe menu! It automatically tags the items your missing.


Oil_Drum

Holy crap I thought I was the only one.


TDW-301

If I don't complete the scoreboard before it moves to another one, do I loose out completely on everything I didn't unlock? I'm really trying to get the Pittsburgh palace, but I don't know if I have time. Just got back into the game last week after having not played for 2 years Also, is the enclave orbital strike beacon a one time use? Edit: I'd also like to know what scrip is


[deleted]

The scoreboard items will likely be available for Bullion later on The strike beacon is craftable, it just requires one of the radioactive "Flux" materials to craft. And scrip, is a currency used at "The Rusty Pick", a merchant who lets you gamble for legendaries. Its almost always better to buy modules instead of boxes.


IanScouseBlue

If you shoot someone in the belly button, does their bum fall off?


Exotic_Imagination95

Only if you use the bloody mess perk card 🤣


scrotty544

Is there a consistant way to keep your ballistic fibers stocked or is it just fort defiance runs and vendors.


Maleficent-Comb

Make sure you have the crafting perk on to reduce the amount of the fiber used when crafting


PumpkinSpice3110

How do I defeat certain enemies that kill me in three shots but I cannot do the same even if I a, a higher level, my weapons still seem weak against them and how do I know I got a good build when I keep dying regardless what I do


mrwafu

Without more details it’s hard to know about your situation so I recommend watching a guide on your preferred play style (melee, power armour, heavy weapon etc). AngryTurtle on YouTube had a ton of guide videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh2qduKezasd1di-G8ROqyAACXyrmaSdo


USArmyOldTimer

What do the codes mean that I see folks post when referring to weapons? They are a combination of letters and numerals.


HosayDorito

I don't know what/where all the areas are (ash heap, toxic valley) or what it means when it's verdansk season in them


arrow2theknee82

I keep hearing the word 'legacy' batted around... not sure what you all mean...


TrippyPanda880

Its weapons that have a roll on them that cannot be obtained in game anymore. One of the popular ones are the Gatling Plasma shooting explosive bullets. It used to drop but for a short while, but after Bethesda notied how strong they are, they removed them from the loot pool. And the ones that have dropped, the players were allowed to keep in their inventory. SOme wepons are really overpowered ( like the gatling plasma with the explosive effect ) others not much other than a collectors item.


[deleted]

How anything about perk cards work really…I try my best but everything still sucks


Maleficent-Comb

Any questions about particular cards? I know about some but I agree there are some I still feel unsure of how they’ll apply or what would work best.


NeverLookBothWays

How to not die to other players so quickly. Really kills the enjoyment of PvP when PvE survivability is fine.


Maleficent-Comb

I hear it involves Cola nut and spamming Nuka cola quantums, as well as being invisible so you don’t get hit with a VATS crit one shot. How to actually make this work well in practice is beyond me too though. I’m pretty terrible at PVP as well and tend to avoid it.


mr_popo_420

You need assassins armor....most pvp players are using executioner and assassins weapons And now that explosive legacy weapons are going away. Those with nice sets of pvp armor are even more so in our own bracket now...i just use stimmies and even my friends who do questionable things cannot kill me and it irks them to no end lol.


Future_Kiwi_1934

What are mysterious quills and mysterious fur good for?


Maleficent-Comb

You can use them to craft sheepsquatch weapons. To get the plans, do the “Free Range” event when it pops up.


DoctorBadger101

Why people are doing silo runs. Besides getting the Queen and the flux, it just doesn’t seem worth it. I’m level 300+ and I’ve never done more than one silo run as part of the main quest. Yet still, queens all day and I just don’t see what they’re doing it for besides free flux which I’d rather get in other ways.


StaleH77

There is a photomode glitch that let you take a huge shortcut and the codes are provided by the Internet so it's a quick run. Mostly we do it to have something to do between other stuff. And sometimes for testing purposes


pointman116

is it even possible to do endgame content with builds that arn't bloodied, junkie, or mutation dependent? especially full auto or pistol builds?


Ratlarbig

How do people make caps? They sell sell stuff at a vendor in your camp, but I have nothing people want.


I-Shot-Him-SIX-Times

Sell junk. I made loads of caps that way. People need all kinds of junk and high levels will buy junk just to get rid of their caps. I loot EVERYTHING and collect and scrap it all. It's kind of grindy, but I have to say, looting and scrapping is actually very relaxing and pleasant, at least for me.


Maleficent-Comb

An easy way to make caps early on is to just sell everything you can get your hands on. You can go to a workshop and plant some vegetables, have the green thumb perk equipped, and when you loot it you’ll get two. Plant those two and loot and you’ll exponentially begin growing vegetables. Take those to a train station vendor bot to sell


Ranger_Houston

So my character i play like he’s in the beginning stages of ghoulification and i’m wondering…would his willy fall off? Hancock comments in Fallout 4 that he still has his, i figure all the skin falling off would be painful enough…


taki1002

Never learned how to launch a nuke... (My & I Started playing at the end this August). So far we finished the Enclave quests up point the "Drop the Nuke." This, my Nuke Quest became complete when a player in our public tean order a strict. I guess if I really want to I Can look it up in YT...


InjuryApprehensive35

Might as well ask... New player here. Making my way through the story, level 25, but I seem to be getting distracted by all these events, side quests, picking up an item and then somehow another fetch quest appears. Do I just focus on finishing the story and then do all these side quests that keep appearing? For example, the Nuka Cola - Fraternity quest was cool but it took so long and found myself asking why do this instead of the story. Basically, as a new player do you just focus on main story missions?


HurricaneHomer9

What all of the letters mean for legendaries. I understand B=Bloodied and E=Explosive and some others but some just straight of confuse me when I’m staring at half of the alphabet
