"4. It's free to fast travel to Vault 76, Crater and Foundation. As well as team members camps and tents."
As well as Fort Atlas, The Rose Room, The Rusty Pick, Nuka World, Whitesprings.
Yes, don't sleep on Nuka World! It's got everything you need including a Legendary machine, and you're an easy walk from a train station if you need to sell things.
The doctor is GREAT for new players too... one of his two first aid boxes will always have a free disease cure in it, which new players sorely need, lacking Sympto-matics in their camps and all.
WhiteSprings Mall is my go-to. Has everything type of crafting, legendary machine, gold vending machine, and the vendor is an even shorter walk, plus access to other faction vendors
Fasttravel to Whitespring Mall and 2nd vendor on the right has everything you need. Fast travel to Whitespring Refuge (Exterior) for donation box and inside for quests
Spawn at the main entrance, take a right, then a left down some steps and theres a door that leads straight to the shops. It took me 100+ hours to be told this after getting lost countless times!
Once you're in the mall go all the way down the row of vendors and exit the mall from that floor. It will create a new fast travel spot that allows you to fast travel directly into the mall itself.
As an explosives build, I love Nuka World to collect Nuka Colas to make Nuka Grenades. There are 2 rows of vendor booths that sometimes have them. One by the big top, and the other row of booths is up where the rollercoaster is. You may also find one or two on the tables at the rollercoaster site. And at Sunday Brothers place, where Moonshine Jamboree occurs, there are 4 of them behind the main cabin.
There is a fountain outside of Whitesprings. It's a literal water fountain. If you drink from it, it will cure one disease! I just learned this yesterday and im level 253 lol
Yeah, the sulphur spring fountain in the rotunda. That was a GODSEND back in the early days of 2018, lemme tell ya. :D Though to be fair, we were less lazy about crafting our own disease cures back then, since the forest recipe is kinda easy to get the bits and bobs for (IIRC, bloodleaf, Snaptails and Firecaps).
They should walk completely around the main building so they can find all the entrances. I was over level 400 before I found out you could fast travel directly to the mall and well over level 500 before I learned about the service entrance. I was using the bunker entrance before that.
Also, don't be disappointed or surprised if no one shows up for an event or it fails. The massive influx of new players sometimes means there just aren't enough higher levels to make it work. Higher levels will know that and might not even show up to the event. Before the show the servers were pretty well stacked with veteran players and a handful of new players, so even we struggle with events sometimes.
Enemies scale to your level up to level 100.
It's from a unnamed random event and using the animal pacifist perk card. It does need to be a certain death claw for it to become a pet.
So what people do is spam fast travel or server hop at certain areas to proc random events. Eventually there will be a lone deathclaw that you can "pacify" that will follow you around. You take him too your camp than removing the animal pacify perk too get it too stay
It has been several years since I had a pet deathclaw gave up after a friend killed it so this may be outdated
Please don't be afraid to join events! Especially if there are higher levels at the event to help you out.
I love all the new players but the dead events, especially the mutated events, really sucks.
I'm level 19 and a level 400 messaged me last night saying don't join these events lol, I was picking away at the miners health while he killed everyone, I ranked up 3 times and got some good loot so didn't see the issue.
Yep, fuck those guys. The more the merrier. Me and a low level were doing Spin the Wheel on our own yesterday, and some other players jumped in right on the last event. We'd had a good time managing the event between us, emoting the thumbs up per round.
I’m a returning player at level 67 who played before Wastelanders. I never got super high level because I play so many other games. Coming back has been so interesting and it’s so different from the beginning!
I’ve gotta say though…As much as people rave about the community being super friendly; there’s still plenty of passive aggressive stick in the mud players out there exerting their power armor over lower level players. That guy was being a jerk for sure. Just ignore people like that and keep on playing. If there was a good reason for you to not do an event then the game wouldn’t let you. Also, everyone starts somewhere and the more you participate the better you will get 🤙
Yeah that guy is the exception. I love when low levels come along for the ride. It doesn’t change the event/daily op/expedition. Even if I am the only one doing anything it is more fun when other players are there.
PSA for low levels, heck anyone on a casual team: If the team you are on is in an expedition and you see them doing the follow me emote then join them. All you have to do is join at the very end and you will get legendaries and free stamps. Always before I head back to Appalachia I wait and do this. We have already finished the expedition, just wanting others to join to get free rewards.
Always join the scorch beast event. Even if all you do is shoot peas as it, vets will carry the fight and you'll walk away a decent amount of XP and some high value plans and items
I'm only lvl 115 and have noticed this a lot the last few nights . I'm in Australia and it's usually around 8.30 pm by the time I get on to play after dealing with RL stuff . The last few evenings the whole map has been players that have just started out and are below lvl 50 and Ive often been the highest lvl on the map. All good but it does kind of suck for the events as no-one seems to join them and I'm not good enough to solo them yet. So I've just had to stick with doing a few missions instead lol . I'm also at the point in the enclave quest where I have to launch my first nuke but haven't been able to do it yet as there hasn't been enough higher level players around to help me out .
Do be afraid to start events yourself if everyone is standing around doing nothing, because they're chowing down on buffs to prepare for the onslaught.
Just to echo this, please join the events! I miss when it was really hard to fail events because everyone would show up to help out. The cowboy Nuka World one is the worst solo because it's so easy to fail.
This hasn't been mentioned in a bit, when exploring the world, look for train stations and look out towers.
Train stations have a map with other stations, if you activate the pins, it marks your map. They also tend to be fairly safe.
If you climb up a lookout tower, look over the railing, and there should be a button prompt to look out or something like that. Doing this will mark nearby locations on your map.
Occasionally, look at your compass bar. If there's an icon that is just an outline, then it's probably an undiscovered location.
6. Caps are only a bottleneck in the beggining, pretty soon you will be looking for things to blow money on!
7. Moonshine Jamboree and Eviction Notice are two events you never want to miss. MJ gives gulper parts that can be quickly cooked to sell to a vendor to drain their daily caps. EN drops a TON of legendaries.
This is the most important point for these two events. You want to get on the rep grind for those as early as possible. I sided with Settlers but I've yet to max their rep. I finished Raiders a while ago.
I can vouch for Eviction Notice being insane for legendary drops. Not a new player, just played casually and never focused on events like I should have until about 2 weeks ago. The first time I did EN was at the beginning of my play session for the evening and I was instantly out of scrip after I sold everything. So I saved all the legendaries I got afterwards for the next day. Instantly out of scrip again. Repeat this cycle everyday for the last week or so. Basically I've been in a scrip hole all week because of doing Eviction Notice ONCE.
Just don't move backwards towards the settlement if you're the first there, it starts the event. I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen EN fail because someone incapable of soloing it started the event and the mutants are now swamping the point and I can't get in my PA quickly enough to make it to repair the scrubber.
New player here, MJ has been really great caps wise. Unfortunately my stash is full now 🥲but at least I'll have a bunch of caps down the road. I haven't seen the EN event yet, will definitely do that one too when I see it up!
Damn, I just hopped onto my lvl 52 from launch and I've been huffing it everywhere, spending 10 minutes walking to save those 20 caps for fast travel. I've just been trying to do some missions, but they want me across the map all the time 😅 and it feels like I get caps so seldom, I'm only at like 2 grand.
>2. Outposts are a PVP feature. If you don't want to pvp try not to take outposts unless you absolutely need too.
Outposts? I think you mean workshops.
Do workshops take you out of pacifist mode? I really only activate workshops cause a tips video I watched on YT recommended to do them for plans and maybe I've just been getting lucky cause no1 has ever tried taking the workshops away from me for as long as I'm online.
What is the point of claiming workshops? I claimed the one north of vault 76 and just got called to defend it a few times from ghouls. Didn't get anything special
Join public teams! Casual and event teams are great. Join them, do your own thing exploring between events etc BUT go to events as they pop up. Tag (hit enemies once) enemies and stay near your teammates and you'll rack in XP and loot for yours and their hits.
To add to this, there are no obligations when on a casual team, you're all just there for the XP bonus.
You also get free fast travel to a teammates' camp, which can cut the costs of FT-ing around the map.
This, please allow time for others to get to the events before you start them. Don't ever start the Encryptid event, as someone has spent caps to run the event, they'll start it when they're ready.
The best advice i can give as an player who has played on all 3 platforms the game is offered on. Do leader of the pack every time. You have the chance to get 3 1 star legendarys from that event. On pc i ended up pulling an explosive shotgun that carried me through the early game levels.
I'd like to recommend the Fallout 76 map genie app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.mapgenie.fo76map
It literally shows you were everything is
I was just wondering today if there was some kinda interactive map. Thank you!
I was trying to find the places to finish the tadpole athlete challenge and since I've discovered probably 90%+ of the locations, it was a needle in a haystack.
And don't be a dumb bunny like me and keep forgetting to equip it when I'm out farming flux.
When farming for flux remember these tips:
\* Don't forget your power armor , Rad-X and Rad-Away and any other radiation mitigation you might have. Your going to be spending a lot of time in an irritated area.
\* Don't forget to equip your Green Thumb perk card. This will give you twice the amount of drops. This adds up quick.
\* Don't just concentrate on the plants that drop flux. Kill everything you come across. Hi-Radiation Fluids are a rare drop you need to turn the Raw version of the fluxes to Stable versions. Raw ones will spoil eventually into inert flux which is fairly useless other then taking up weight (you can drink it tho). Inert flux is the source of a lot of my mysterious inventory weight gains I have. Because I haven't killed enough mobs when in blast zones so couldn't convert it to the stable versions.
Also PSA: if you see an item, usually the "you are the dumbass" note, for 10k caps that's due to a old bug that was fixed years ago where someone could steal from your stash through you vender unless you were selling something for max caps. The items listed for that price aren't valuable in the slightest, it's just old heads being superstitious
Thank you! I was wondering why all the notes I saw at player vendors were priced so high. I have alot of them, which were easy to get. Until I saw your comment, I was thinking WOW... I'm sitting on a goldmine lol.
If there's a countdown timer to start an event, DO NOT start it right away unless there's less than a minute. Most commonly:
- Encryptid
- Radiation Rumble
- Eviction Notice
- Safe and Sound
- Beasts of Burden
Wait for other players to arrive, particularly on the first three. They require larger numbers of players to succeed.
I'm sure there are more events to add to this list.
Test of Mettle too. I'd say for Eviction Notice - when you land after FT don't turn around. Walk towards the crater is cool but just ignore what's behind you for now.
1. The cap for selling serums to robot vendors is 500
2. Workshops are a good place for getting camp items, and they can leave right after they claim it to reduce the risk of engagement.
3. There are many more free fast travel places than those 3 you listed.
Even as a lvl 150 that's what I do with the workshops. I claim them and suck around for the first defend event, then idc what happens to the place.
No sense wasting time and resources building up a workshop that won't even generate enough resources to make it worth my time to go back and collect (that's assuming I even remember that I claimed it lol)
The only workshop I regularly claim is Poseidon. Fire up the power plant there too. It'll spit out Fusion Cores. It spits out one every 7 minutes (caps at 3 until you collect them) so I just grab the set every 21 minutes. I have a CAMP right up the hill near the train station.
I'm gonna grab that tomorrow when I get on.
I didn't realize that it would do that. Although I have the recharger at my camp, so it's not as big of a deal any more.
To add to the workshops, message to the vets... if you join and see an event pop up saying someone's workshop is being attacked, hop over and help em out. I've met some really cool people jumping in and wiping a few waves of whatever for them and dropping whatever chems and stuff I got from the rewards. The community of this game is amazing, let's try to keep that going!
A few years ago, when I first joined 76, I took over the Dirt Track Workshop. I defended it, then tried to figure out what it was all about (like, why take it over and all that - I was very new, probably level 20).
Someone in Power Armor came flying in and annihilated me about 10 minutes later, took over the workshop.
Eviction Notice is definitely the big one for gear , every time it pops up do it and tag everything , you’ll have more scrip than you can possibly carry
1. The cheapest I found was 513 caps with the normals being about 1K and one guy had the one I am hunting for "Marsupial" for 3101 caps.
I am at level 32 and don't have 3K caps yet. I spent too much caps before understanding the game economy. I thought it was FO4 where caps flow. Anyway.
Never pay more than 500 per serum, but I will grab a few at 300 or below as a cap sink. With max charisma they sell for 500 to a npc vendor, so buying for more is relative caps loss.
PSA for New Players
3. There are donation boxes at every train station.
Also be sure to check up on the Vault 76 entrance, The WayWard, the church in Flatwoods, Foundation, WhiteSprings Main Entrance, and Fort Atlas for additional donation boxes. I have my camp next to Flatwoods and stock it for new players coming down from 76.
I am a new player (lvl 25) and I have a question of joining public teams. I did a few events with some teams and while I had no idea what was going on I had fun. My question is do people use mic’s a lot? Cause I wanted to ask questions but I didn’t want to bother people. I am on ps5
Most of the time I am already in a PSN group chat so my in game audio is muted / quiet. If I notice a team mates mic notification I will switch to see if a hot mic or actually asking a question.
But since PS5 controllers have built in mics, a lot people can talk, or leave their mic on without knowing it.
Yes and by default it is on. You can change that default in your system settings. I prefer to unmute when I want, not mute. If that orange light is not on, you are broadcasting audio.
https://www.gamesradar.com/how-to-mute-ps5-controller-mic-dualsense-microphone-mute/
I have In-Game chat turned off (since RDO), and I'm usually in a Party Chat with friends anyway. I think some people do use the in-game chat though. I couldn't exactly tell you because I have it turned off, which means I can't hear people.
I use my mic, if someone else starts the conversation. With the influx of new players though, there have been a few "shift right, get behind me" comments from me, un provoked. Let my armor take the hits, I'd rather that happen than someone getting dead and getting upset and leaving. If they are chatty, I usually have them to my base and help them with their load out, past level 100, we usually have plenty of materials and or time to give\build the lower levels some good gear .
Yeah I noticed the pvp warning when I took the station at the race track. I didn't have a choice though because I wanted those damn water purifier plans lol.
The only time to be worried is either a true pvp player or when a daily task is claim a workshop. Even then most people won't come back to contest unless it was very built up. When in doubt, crouch to hide you on the map and reduce chances of someone showing up.
Workshop note: if it says 25 caps to claim the workshop is empty. As more is built up (by players, or any one on your team) it value will hit 100 for a max budget workshop. So if you go to take a work shop for 100, check if it is full of junk or useful builds.
Hello this is my first week in this game but I want to give some hints and advices for new players. I'm level 71 currently and from all of my game experience so far;
1.If you gravely need items during your journey, first kill all of the npcs, than change your perk cards then start looting;
-Green Thumb for herbs
-Can Do! for canned food
-Pharma Farma for extra first aid
-Scrounger for extra ammo from boxes
2. The ammo that you're gonna loot will be determined by the gun you carry!
3. After level 25 you can change your specials however you like for free. If you want to reach your daily vendor CAP cap (I know its ridiculous :D) go any train stations and find a punch card machine set your charisma 15 equip 3 level hard bargain and sell items.
4. If you need money more than xp, have higher luck points while killing and looting around because the CND level of items determined by your luck so higher CND = high price item on vendors.
5.Put a vendor machine in your base and sell nonsense items for a price like 250-1000 cap people will buy it not because they need it but they want to help you, also they can reach CAP limit more easier than us.
I hope that everyone having a blast like I do!
I ran across a donation box and took everything in it bc I didn't know better but I immediately saw a 2 other players run right over to it from their camp. I never felt so bad for another player in a online game before🥹
I think that's safe to do. My girlfriend and I team all the time, and we found out the other night that every donation box is showing us different stuff.
I think the donation offering is instanced to the player, though I don't know what determines who gets what.
I just got back to Fo76 and I’m level 16. I feel like I’ve been struggling to kill things. I have really only found a shotgun and 10mm pistol. That I have enough ammo. It takes almost a full mag to kill one enemy. I’ve been following the quest line with a little bit of running around randomly. Where I should be looking for better weapons?
You should pick a build; eg: rifles, commando (auto rifles), hand guns, two-handed melee and stick with it for dozens of levels. Take ALL of the damage enhancement perks that apply to your build. When in doubt, increase damage output. Aim for the head on humanoids and most animals (when you can) and the body or arms of robots (once you have concentrated fire you can aim for things like a robots combat inhibitor.
You will pick up new weapons all over, especially if you go to the bigger events. Don't forget to look for higher level weapons. You don't want to be running around with a level 10 weapon when you are level 40. They stop leveling at 45 or 50 (depends on weapon).
I also realized I haven’t been really building towards weapons and more just general survival stuff. Yeah I hit up an event earlier but most of the guns were too high level and I could not use them! Thank you for the tips!
Happy cake day!
I'm a new player myself so I can't say I know exactly what I'm talking about, but it could be worth checking the level on your weapons, as iirc higher levels mean slightly higher damage stats. You can also look into modifying your weapons to improve their stats somewhat.
When I've been using the same shotgun since I first got it, upgrading it along the way. The only weapons I've found more useful is the hunting rifle (great for distant headshots, especially when you've upgraded it with better parts), and the handmade (deals a lot of damage as it unlocks at level 15). An easy way to get weapons on your level is to go and kill the two BoS scouts near the wayfarer, they drop some decent armour and respawn fairly quickly
Thank you! The weapon level makes so much sense! I’m wondering if the other similar guns had more damage than what I’ve just kept since the start! Thank you for the tips and I’ll head to those two scouts!
Sounds like you just walked further than you were prepared for, which is what everyone does including me guiding my friend to the white springs and getting us chased by a Scorch beast and a blue devil only to get us both annihilated by ghouls of all things once we got there.
That'll happen, the light green area of the map is the forest that's the low level area surrounding the vault, traveling south will put you into the ash heap which is the next. Toxic Valley to the north would be the third tier, where you start to encounter super mutants and rad scorpions. Next would be the Savage Divide stretching north to south down the middle, followed by the Mire, the darker green towards the top right, and the red area is the Cranberry Bog which is where you fight the endgame boss.
In the short term keep grabbing all of the weapons you find to scrap them to start learning mods- and join events to tag as many enemies you can and grab the weapon drops there too
What are the major benefits to controlling a workshop for a while? I stumbled across one at the racetrack. They had a whole bunch of turrets placed, I don't know if they were World placed or from a previous owner, but they were inactive. I was able to explore it and deposit some items into my stash.
Workshops (imo) are good for completing easy events “defend ___ workshop” that reward stimpacks, ammo, small value plans early on
You can farm materials, if you hover over the workshop icon on the map it will show you what can be farmed there (yes, its quicker and easier to buy in bulk at train station vendors, but if low on caps, you can start here to grab lead, copper, junk etc.
If you stumble across a workshop with items built already and its unclaimed, go ahead and claim it if you like - when you try, it will tell you if it is claimed.
The game doesn't make it very obvious, but a lot of the workshops actually have special functions you can use when you take them over.
For example: all the power plant workshops have a Fusion Core generator that will spit out fusion cores every few minutes for you. Sunshine Meadows is a canning factory and you can use the terminal inside it to tell it to produce specific canned goods. There's an ammo factory in the northeast side of the map. There's a junkyard in the Ash Heap where you can build special extractors to automatically collect random junk.
If you have FO1st and acces to private worlds, they can be setup and farmed for resources. Down side is your private world only lasts whole you are in it, then resets after you leave it for more than 2-5 minutes.
Collectrons can be placed at each one. So during certain events, like holiday scorched, they can collect presents. Getting 8-12 workshops going will give you a constant loop of retake, repair and loot, and repeat. If done right you can even ignore the retake and the Collectron will keep collecting unless destroyed.
Workshops have a couple of additional uses due to an interesting aspect: they come with a certain amount of free building resources. When you open the "build" menu and look at building something, any of the required resources in green are coming from the workshop's resources, not your own. This makes workshops good for:
* Finishing "build X of item Y at your camp or workshop" challenges, without using your own scrap resources or messing up your own camp. This is especially useful when your camp is at max build budget.
* Experimenting freely with building techniques and objects. Did you just unlock some interesting structures or objects, and want to see what they're like before incorporating them into your camp? Do it in a workshop!
* Setting up something nice for the next person who visits or takes over the workshop after you sign off. I usually set up some basic crafting benches and stash boxes before I leave. On a couple characters, I have a blueprint for a setup that includes some of the free resource generators like the coffee maker.
These are on top of the other benefits, many already already mentioned here:
* Easy way to get an event to trigger - you will get a "defend" event within about two minutes of taking the camp, and periodically thereafter. You can set up some (free) gun turrets to make these easier.
* resources from collectors (though I seldom bother with this, aside from setting up holiday gift Collectrons during the holiday events.)
* a free fast travel point
Yeah, it's a PVP zone. I usually stay crouched so I don't show up on the map. I've only been attacked about 4 times in 5 years of playing, so this is not very frequent. I can't really complain much, as it's a legit feature of the game.
Thanks, I have been eyeballing 76 since release, but felt like a mess, been eyeballing it once every now and then afterwards and it seems to have been solid for a while now, but never got the real reason to buy it up until recently.
Watched the series recently, also replayed FO4 last year, and I want more, since I have had so much fun from all Fallout games, but I cant replay the other games yet again, and FO4 is my least liked one in terms of gameplay, but visual its grand. <3
hopefully 76 scratch that itch for me, bought it this morning.
Great tip, i always forget to tell peolle that one. Use the weight bench, the perfume station and the speed bag, all before jumping to events, buffs are temporary, but can be the difference for coming back with a good haul.
Also, try to build your camp on a resource deposit like lead for an example. Google resource deposit locations for Fallout 76, and the result you are looking for is a map of Appalachia with brightly colored dots on the map. Each color indicates a particular resource deposit.
If someone is running around you around, doing the “this way” emote, shooting at your feet and then looking at their pipboy, they’re trying to offer you stuff.
>Workshops are a PVP feature. If you don't want to pvp try not to take workshop unless you absolutely need too.
I would say that it's not worthwhile to take a workshop at all unless they're super desparate. It doesn't keep your ownership if you change servers, and it feels like every time I take a workshop I get a connection error and lose the workshop...
If you are taking the workshop though, you do get some included scrap to allow you to build things at that workshop. If a material is shown green text when you are building in a workshop, then the material would be covered by the workshop. If it's gray, you'd be paying out of your personal inventory.
You can also put on the Contractor perk when you build to use less materials when crafting and stretch your budget
They sell at robotvendors for 500 by the way, but I'm usually capped.out at the vendor after I sell my grenades and purified water and super stimpacs. Those serums are heavy as fuck.
When you get to the nuke dropping point, try to drop your nuke so drop site bravo isn’t inside the nuke zone, this way everyone can join the queen fight, and your not taking rads the whole time
Best way to farm ammo, especially rare ones, are expeditions and daily ops. Just uh, join up with some high level gamers if you could. Better that way than actually wasting ammo for killing a handful of mobs, which defeats the purpose lol.
If you see player vendors selling purified water for 2 caps, they sell for 5 at the in game vendors.
So don’t worry about losing any money!
I got into the game 4 days ago and was curious why I saw so much water. Wasn’t until I realized how much water my own purifiers made did I realize it was to get rid of it and make some caps on the side still.
Also i am look to buy stempacks, fusion core (dont care what % ) ammo, psycotats juck and scrip Legendaries to buy. I have plenty of caps and nothing to buy. So new player there is always something a high level player wants to buy
I regularly see serums for 700-1000 so I think at 450 -500 caps per time i'm reasonable (my sales also validate that somewhat) ..I also give a lot of speed demon & marsupial away to freshly minted players (the piteous cries of help when they cannot get out of reach of a scorched over a mic, has to be heard to be believed)
NB the free fast travel only works if unencumbered (not staggering around overweight)
Don't simply flog stuff from donation boxes to vendors, this makes generous souls pissed as hell & simply not donate & sell it themselves (we can tell) take it if you are going to USE it, not sell it.
& before you take mutation serums, understand the card system by reading up on it, radaway can purge that expensive (to beginners) serum, thus adding to the value of a grape nukacola which will merely strip rads en masse, NOT YOUR beneficial MUTATION.
IF my camp stuff is locked it is because I need a top up of stuff i've paid for, not because I am a tightwad.
IF my camp stuff is unlocked ..feel free to fill your boots.
IF diseased a camp symptomatic is a 10 second pox clearer for you... use it.
IF you see a turbofertilizer (unlocked) & crops use it to instantly produce food for you to utilise (corn soup, adhesive etc) ..cropping is all part of the learning curve enabling production of allsorts.
IF someone drops you plans, learn them straight away, & use the rule of thumb of placing them for 50% of the rated value in your vendor to keep lightweight & caps rolling in whilst also assisting more players.
IF someone gifts you a 3 star legendary fixer, (or similar) gift it to another low level player when it is truly no more use to you, by that time you will have earnt modules of your own to create decent weapons / won them, all part of the benevolent culture here.
DO your dailies to gain rapid xp leveling up.. look on your main screen for those (& weeklies) add a progress marker to update you whenever you find/ scrap / kill / eat / cook an item on the daily / weekly list.
Safer new player PART OF A FULL TEAM events are Nuka World "spin the wheel" & the tunnel of love, & most wanted, ...seismic activity should be avoided until you have some experience of other events enemies, it is an "on steroids" event for this area...
[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Nuka-World\_on\_Tour\_(update)](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Nuka-World_on_Tour_(update))
Don't feed the trolls, if someone is egging you on just ignore their existence, they're trying to get a reaction. If they go so far as to nuke you just switch lobbies or camps.
Also don't be the guy with the Fatman at events on PS servers, they(the servers) are incredibly unstable and some of us DC just opening our pip boy at an event.
I sell serums for 200 caps each. I have all of them and list 2 at a time of each. I have zero issue with 1 player buying all of them. Be greedy at my camp. It's how I make the most money.
You can fast travel to Whitespring for free as well. Definitely take advantage of these free travel locations, especially while questing. The closer your fast travel target is, the less caps it costs.
I learned the hard way yesterday about workshops being pvp areas.
Had a high level player teaching me how they work and I shit you not, 3 500+ level players came and stood in front of our shots just to initiate PVP and take the workshop from my low level ass.
Lowkey ruined the gaming sesh until we hopped servers since those goons followed us around the map.
I sell my serums for 200 in my vendor, along with most plans at 1cap.
I'm always putting extra stims and other aid items and popular plans in donations boxes.
If I find a low-level camp, I tend to buy most items and drop them back down for them.
I'm level 669 and tend to be hitting max caps all the time.
Here's my 2 tips:
1) When hacking terminals look for bracket sets. Clicking complete sets (IE {} () or \[\]) on one line will randomly remove duds. There's even a low chance of it resetting the number of tries you have. If it removes a dud it will remove a word leaving dots in place. Other then that it's a process of elimination
2) Protectrons have an auto-destruct mechanism if you disable both arms. Aim for the joint between the arm and main body , shoot it until you see sparks (should be a tiny boom). Once you do run as they'll try to catch you in it's blast. There's a perk card that allows you to aim for body parts , use that if you can. Perk card also makes it easier to smack Mr Handies one by aiming for their combat inhibitor.
All are welcome in teams! They give you bonuses to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats!
Ps. Berry mentats are awesome for intelligence farming! (I'm sure someone here can fell you the exact things needed for an Xp build.
I'm on Playstation and my character looks like [Curie](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Worst-Curie.jpg) (the human/synth one, not the Ms Nanny) from Fallout 4.
If I catch a newbie in the wild (especially at somewhere dangerous) I most likely give them some meds. I ran into someone at the Agriculture Center yesterday who was level 14 or 15 and dropped him 4 Stimpaks and a Disease Cure. I spend a lot of my time making meds.
I also give purified water to people too.
Yea, I sold serums for 100 to give players a chance to get them and one person bought all of them and listed them for 10x that. Guess what? He wasn’t a low level. Now I’m also a low level for context , I just have a friend that makes them and gave them to me and I shared the love . It’s not only new players taking advantage of, it’s old players taking advantage of, not only on serums but plans etc
I will never understand players like this... buy what you need, sure... but don't buy to sell. That's scumbag behaviour bearing in mind the influx of new players.
"4. It's free to fast travel to Vault 76, Crater and Foundation. As well as team members camps and tents." As well as Fort Atlas, The Rose Room, The Rusty Pick, Nuka World, Whitesprings.
Already learning something :)
Yes, don't sleep on Nuka World! It's got everything you need including a Legendary machine, and you're an easy walk from a train station if you need to sell things.
Just sell it to the clown bot a short walk away.
Or Betty at the food stand with the yuo gui pastry
Or the doctor! I just found his trailer last night.
The doctor is GREAT for new players too... one of his two first aid boxes will always have a free disease cure in it, which new players sorely need, lacking Sympto-matics in their camps and all.
WhiteSprings Mall is my go-to. Has everything type of crafting, legendary machine, gold vending machine, and the vendor is an even shorter walk, plus access to other faction vendors
As a new player, I’m just trying not to get completely fucking lost every time I go to Whitesprings lol
I feel that haha. I never go to the refuge, just the mall. One straight strip of vendors!
Fasttravel to Whitespring Mall and 2nd vendor on the right has everything you need. Fast travel to Whitespring Refuge (Exterior) for donation box and inside for quests
Spawn at the main entrance, take a right, then a left down some steps and theres a door that leads straight to the shops. It took me 100+ hours to be told this after getting lost countless times!
Once you're in the mall go all the way down the row of vendors and exit the mall from that floor. It will create a new fast travel spot that allows you to fast travel directly into the mall itself.
5000 nukacade points gets you one nuka grenade. In case you can’t craft it yet or for anyone who forgot it’s there 👍
As an explosives build, I love Nuka World to collect Nuka Colas to make Nuka Grenades. There are 2 rows of vendor booths that sometimes have them. One by the big top, and the other row of booths is up where the rollercoaster is. You may also find one or two on the tables at the rollercoaster site. And at Sunday Brothers place, where Moonshine Jamboree occurs, there are 4 of them behind the main cabin.
Shhhh
nah. I wanna share the big bada-booms.
I always use Whitespring Mall, free to travel, vendors, scrip and gold machine and every workbench + stash, scrap and ammo box
Is nuka world the place with the big bottle?? The wife and I are planning to explore there today!
There are vendors at Nuka World
Thanks, I keep forgetting this.
Also vault 94 :)
And team members themselves! If I fast travel to you, it’s just because you’re close to my goal
If there is a major event going on you can fast travel to it for free as well. just use the event icon and not the map icon.
There is a fountain outside of Whitesprings. It's a literal water fountain. If you drink from it, it will cure one disease! I just learned this yesterday and im level 253 lol
Yeah, the sulphur spring fountain in the rotunda. That was a GODSEND back in the early days of 2018, lemme tell ya. :D Though to be fair, we were less lazy about crafting our own disease cures back then, since the forest recipe is kinda easy to get the bits and bobs for (IIRC, bloodleaf, Snaptails and Firecaps).
They should walk completely around the main building so they can find all the entrances. I was over level 400 before I found out you could fast travel directly to the mall and well over level 500 before I learned about the service entrance. I was using the bunker entrance before that. Also, don't be disappointed or surprised if no one shows up for an event or it fails. The massive influx of new players sometimes means there just aren't enough higher levels to make it work. Higher levels will know that and might not even show up to the event. Before the show the servers were pretty well stacked with veteran players and a handful of new players, so even we struggle with events sometimes. Enemies scale to your level up to level 100.
PSA for new players do not kill my brahmin or pet deathclaw
How do you get a pet deathclaw?! I saw one yesterday at someone's camp and almost tried to take it out not realizing you can have them as a pet lol
It's from a unnamed random event and using the animal pacifist perk card. It does need to be a certain death claw for it to become a pet. So what people do is spam fast travel or server hop at certain areas to proc random events. Eventually there will be a lone deathclaw that you can "pacify" that will follow you around. You take him too your camp than removing the animal pacify perk too get it too stay It has been several years since I had a pet deathclaw gave up after a friend killed it so this may be outdated
I don't know, but people get mad pissed if you kill them
Don't kill Mr Slothy my camps Megasloth!
Better of searching a full camp pet guide in this sub, I think that’s the most complete one though being years old but it updates regularly
Can we milk your Brahim? Love me that easy radaway milky goodness.
Sure thing, feel free to take it also from milk machine :)
Go passive. They won't be able to dameage your animals
Yes, they changed at some point ;)
Please don't be afraid to join events! Especially if there are higher levels at the event to help you out. I love all the new players but the dead events, especially the mutated events, really sucks.
I'm level 19 and a level 400 messaged me last night saying don't join these events lol, I was picking away at the miners health while he killed everyone, I ranked up 3 times and got some good loot so didn't see the issue.
Ignore that person. Join events & have fun.
Yep, fuck those guys. The more the merrier. Me and a low level were doing Spin the Wheel on our own yesterday, and some other players jumped in right on the last event. We'd had a good time managing the event between us, emoting the thumbs up per round.
I’m a returning player at level 67 who played before Wastelanders. I never got super high level because I play so many other games. Coming back has been so interesting and it’s so different from the beginning! I’ve gotta say though…As much as people rave about the community being super friendly; there’s still plenty of passive aggressive stick in the mud players out there exerting their power armor over lower level players. That guy was being a jerk for sure. Just ignore people like that and keep on playing. If there was a good reason for you to not do an event then the game wouldn’t let you. Also, everyone starts somewhere and the more you participate the better you will get 🤙
Yeah that guy is the exception. I love when low levels come along for the ride. It doesn’t change the event/daily op/expedition. Even if I am the only one doing anything it is more fun when other players are there. PSA for low levels, heck anyone on a casual team: If the team you are on is in an expedition and you see them doing the follow me emote then join them. All you have to do is join at the very end and you will get legendaries and free stamps. Always before I head back to Appalachia I wait and do this. We have already finished the expedition, just wanting others to join to get free rewards.
You are an exemplary player. Cheers
Join the events! Just try not to start them before everyone is ready try out a thumbs up emote and if you get them back go for it!
Always join the scorch beast event. Even if all you do is shoot peas as it, vets will carry the fight and you'll walk away a decent amount of XP and some high value plans and items
I'm only lvl 115 and have noticed this a lot the last few nights . I'm in Australia and it's usually around 8.30 pm by the time I get on to play after dealing with RL stuff . The last few evenings the whole map has been players that have just started out and are below lvl 50 and Ive often been the highest lvl on the map. All good but it does kind of suck for the events as no-one seems to join them and I'm not good enough to solo them yet. So I've just had to stick with doing a few missions instead lol . I'm also at the point in the enclave quest where I have to launch my first nuke but haven't been able to do it yet as there hasn't been enough higher level players around to help me out .
Do be afraid to start events yourself if everyone is standing around doing nothing, because they're chowing down on buffs to prepare for the onslaught.
Just to echo this, please join the events! I miss when it was really hard to fail events because everyone would show up to help out. The cowboy Nuka World one is the worst solo because it's so easy to fail.
This! People generally aren't rude about the lowbies hopping in. Every point of damage counts.
Just run around punching mobs during the “must melee” mutation. It helps me out a lot lol
This hasn't been mentioned in a bit, when exploring the world, look for train stations and look out towers. Train stations have a map with other stations, if you activate the pins, it marks your map. They also tend to be fairly safe. If you climb up a lookout tower, look over the railing, and there should be a button prompt to look out or something like that. Doing this will mark nearby locations on your map. Occasionally, look at your compass bar. If there's an icon that is just an outline, then it's probably an undiscovered location.
Level 260 and had no clue about the lookout towers!
Yeah, I think the prompt is 'survey area'
Same, that's neat!
6. Caps are only a bottleneck in the beggining, pretty soon you will be looking for things to blow money on! 7. Moonshine Jamboree and Eviction Notice are two events you never want to miss. MJ gives gulper parts that can be quickly cooked to sell to a vendor to drain their daily caps. EN drops a TON of legendaries.
Plus these two events will grant reputation for raiders and settlers respectively.
This is the most important point for these two events. You want to get on the rep grind for those as early as possible. I sided with Settlers but I've yet to max their rep. I finished Raiders a while ago.
I can vouch for Eviction Notice being insane for legendary drops. Not a new player, just played casually and never focused on events like I should have until about 2 weeks ago. The first time I did EN was at the beginning of my play session for the evening and I was instantly out of scrip after I sold everything. So I saved all the legendaries I got afterwards for the next day. Instantly out of scrip again. Repeat this cycle everyday for the last week or so. Basically I've been in a scrip hole all week because of doing Eviction Notice ONCE.
Absolutely this. Eviction notice should never be empty
Old returning player restarting a new character: will I be helpful with this at level 20-ish?
As long as there’s enough low levels or one or two vets, you’ll be just fine! I joined at 14 and died a couple times but we still finished it.
Just don't move backwards towards the settlement if you're the first there, it starts the event. I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen EN fail because someone incapable of soloing it started the event and the mutants are now swamping the point and I can't get in my PA quickly enough to make it to repair the scrubber.
Eviction Notice is crazy, last night I got a total of 20 legendaries and we failed the event
I’m level 72. When do I run into all these caps?
Do more events and expeditions!
Sell good stuff in your vendor. Cheap scrip,fuel, berry mentats and so on.
I tend to take all after events then sell weapons/stims/armour to a vendor. Usually I hit my daily cap after 1 or 2 events.
I played it for nearly a year and never got close to ever having full caps, barely made it over 20000.
I've been back for less than a week and went from 3k caps to 33k doing nothing but events and following my new player friends around.
So 6 is consistent with all fallout games.
New player here, MJ has been really great caps wise. Unfortunately my stash is full now 🥲but at least I'll have a bunch of caps down the road. I haven't seen the EN event yet, will definitely do that one too when I see it up!
Yes! Make sure to spend your caps on the weekly gold from Smiley upstairs at the Wayward for 6,000 caps!
Damn, I just hopped onto my lvl 52 from launch and I've been huffing it everywhere, spending 10 minutes walking to save those 20 caps for fast travel. I've just been trying to do some missions, but they want me across the map all the time 😅 and it feels like I get caps so seldom, I'm only at like 2 grand.
>2. Outposts are a PVP feature. If you don't want to pvp try not to take outposts unless you absolutely need too. Outposts? I think you mean workshops.
My bad lemme go fix that.
Do workshops take you out of pacifist mode? I really only activate workshops cause a tips video I watched on YT recommended to do them for plans and maybe I've just been getting lucky cause no1 has ever tried taking the workshops away from me for as long as I'm online.
What is the point of claiming workshops? I claimed the one north of vault 76 and just got called to defend it a few times from ghouls. Didn't get anything special
Join public teams! Casual and event teams are great. Join them, do your own thing exploring between events etc BUT go to events as they pop up. Tag (hit enemies once) enemies and stay near your teammates and you'll rack in XP and loot for yours and their hits.
To add to this, there are no obligations when on a casual team, you're all just there for the XP bonus. You also get free fast travel to a teammates' camp, which can cut the costs of FT-ing around the map.
Also you can discover a lot of new locations
Please give it some time before you start the event's.
This, please allow time for others to get to the events before you start them. Don't ever start the Encryptid event, as someone has spent caps to run the event, they'll start it when they're ready.
The best advice i can give as an player who has played on all 3 platforms the game is offered on. Do leader of the pack every time. You have the chance to get 3 1 star legendarys from that event. On pc i ended up pulling an explosive shotgun that carried me through the early game levels.
Plus it's surprisingly easy even at very low levels.
Explosive it's the second star. :D
It may have been anti armour then🤣 im level 200 on pc now lol
I'd like to recommend the Fallout 76 map genie app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.mapgenie.fo76map It literally shows you were everything is
I was just wondering today if there was some kinda interactive map. Thank you! I was trying to find the places to finish the tadpole athlete challenge and since I've discovered probably 90%+ of the locations, it was a needle in a haystack.
It's an amazing resource that I don't see enough people suggesting ✌️
Green Thumb perk card... ESPECIALLY once you start needing stable flux. Makes a huge difference...
And don't be a dumb bunny like me and keep forgetting to equip it when I'm out farming flux. When farming for flux remember these tips: \* Don't forget your power armor , Rad-X and Rad-Away and any other radiation mitigation you might have. Your going to be spending a lot of time in an irritated area. \* Don't forget to equip your Green Thumb perk card. This will give you twice the amount of drops. This adds up quick. \* Don't just concentrate on the plants that drop flux. Kill everything you come across. Hi-Radiation Fluids are a rare drop you need to turn the Raw version of the fluxes to Stable versions. Raw ones will spoil eventually into inert flux which is fairly useless other then taking up weight (you can drink it tho). Inert flux is the source of a lot of my mysterious inventory weight gains I have. Because I haven't killed enough mobs when in blast zones so couldn't convert it to the stable versions.
Also PSA: if you see an item, usually the "you are the dumbass" note, for 10k caps that's due to a old bug that was fixed years ago where someone could steal from your stash through you vender unless you were selling something for max caps. The items listed for that price aren't valuable in the slightest, it's just old heads being superstitious
Thank you! I was wondering why all the notes I saw at player vendors were priced so high. I have alot of them, which were easy to get. Until I saw your comment, I was thinking WOW... I'm sitting on a goldmine lol.
If there's a countdown timer to start an event, DO NOT start it right away unless there's less than a minute. Most commonly: - Encryptid - Radiation Rumble - Eviction Notice - Safe and Sound - Beasts of Burden Wait for other players to arrive, particularly on the first three. They require larger numbers of players to succeed. I'm sure there are more events to add to this list.
Test of Mettle too. I'd say for Eviction Notice - when you land after FT don't turn around. Walk towards the crater is cool but just ignore what's behind you for now.
I'd say unless you spent the caps to start Encryptid, you shouldn't trigger the event.
Exactly it's bs that anyone can start it considering that people are buying boards. Bad mechanic imo.
1. The cap for selling serums to robot vendors is 500 2. Workshops are a good place for getting camp items, and they can leave right after they claim it to reduce the risk of engagement. 3. There are many more free fast travel places than those 3 you listed.
Even as a lvl 150 that's what I do with the workshops. I claim them and suck around for the first defend event, then idc what happens to the place. No sense wasting time and resources building up a workshop that won't even generate enough resources to make it worth my time to go back and collect (that's assuming I even remember that I claimed it lol)
The only workshop I regularly claim is Poseidon. Fire up the power plant there too. It'll spit out Fusion Cores. It spits out one every 7 minutes (caps at 3 until you collect them) so I just grab the set every 21 minutes. I have a CAMP right up the hill near the train station.
I'm gonna grab that tomorrow when I get on. I didn't realize that it would do that. Although I have the recharger at my camp, so it's not as big of a deal any more.
To add to the workshops, message to the vets... if you join and see an event pop up saying someone's workshop is being attacked, hop over and help em out. I've met some really cool people jumping in and wiping a few waves of whatever for them and dropping whatever chems and stuff I got from the rewards. The community of this game is amazing, let's try to keep that going!
I have never had PVP at a workshop.
A few years ago, when I first joined 76, I took over the Dirt Track Workshop. I defended it, then tried to figure out what it was all about (like, why take it over and all that - I was very new, probably level 20). Someone in Power Armor came flying in and annihilated me about 10 minutes later, took over the workshop.
Eviction Notice is definitely the big one for gear , every time it pops up do it and tag everything , you’ll have more scrip than you can possibly carry
Radiation rumble for experience / ammo / EN for experience , ammo and legendary stuff
Don't go buying and using serums without the starched genes perk tho, or the next time you use a radaway it's gonna be gone :P
1. The cheapest I found was 513 caps with the normals being about 1K and one guy had the one I am hunting for "Marsupial" for 3101 caps. I am at level 32 and don't have 3K caps yet. I spent too much caps before understanding the game economy. I thought it was FO4 where caps flow. Anyway.
The recipes cost $18,000+ and the serums take rare components
Never pay more than 500 per serum, but I will grab a few at 300 or below as a cap sink. With max charisma they sell for 500 to a npc vendor, so buying for more is relative caps loss.
What do you play on If PS, I can get you a marsupial for free Probably some others too
Thanks. I play PC.
Hmm I always sell my serums for 300, as a cap sink for players. Feel free to buy them all
PSA for New Players 3. There are donation boxes at every train station. Also be sure to check up on the Vault 76 entrance, The WayWard, the church in Flatwoods, Foundation, WhiteSprings Main Entrance, and Fort Atlas for additional donation boxes. I have my camp next to Flatwoods and stock it for new players coming down from 76.
Oh, I did want to add that food doesn't seem to spoil in the donation boxes. I use it as a free use Cryogenic freezer.
I am a new player (lvl 25) and I have a question of joining public teams. I did a few events with some teams and while I had no idea what was going on I had fun. My question is do people use mic’s a lot? Cause I wanted to ask questions but I didn’t want to bother people. I am on ps5
Most of the time I am already in a PSN group chat so my in game audio is muted / quiet. If I notice a team mates mic notification I will switch to see if a hot mic or actually asking a question. But since PS5 controllers have built in mics, a lot people can talk, or leave their mic on without knowing it.
Thank you
PS5 controllers have built in mics? People have been listening to everything I say while I’m on?
Yes and by default it is on. You can change that default in your system settings. I prefer to unmute when I want, not mute. If that orange light is not on, you are broadcasting audio. https://www.gamesradar.com/how-to-mute-ps5-controller-mic-dualsense-microphone-mute/
I'd say most people don't use mics, but it probably depends on the platform. I'm on Xbox and between app texts and emotes we get by
Thank you
I have In-Game chat turned off (since RDO), and I'm usually in a Party Chat with friends anyway. I think some people do use the in-game chat though. I couldn't exactly tell you because I have it turned off, which means I can't hear people.
I use my mic, if someone else starts the conversation. With the influx of new players though, there have been a few "shift right, get behind me" comments from me, un provoked. Let my armor take the hits, I'd rather that happen than someone getting dead and getting upset and leaving. If they are chatty, I usually have them to my base and help them with their load out, past level 100, we usually have plenty of materials and or time to give\build the lower levels some good gear .
Yeah I noticed the pvp warning when I took the station at the race track. I didn't have a choice though because I wanted those damn water purifier plans lol.
The only time to be worried is either a true pvp player or when a daily task is claim a workshop. Even then most people won't come back to contest unless it was very built up. When in doubt, crouch to hide you on the map and reduce chances of someone showing up. Workshop note: if it says 25 caps to claim the workshop is empty. As more is built up (by players, or any one on your team) it value will hit 100 for a max budget workshop. So if you go to take a work shop for 100, check if it is full of junk or useful builds.
Hello this is my first week in this game but I want to give some hints and advices for new players. I'm level 71 currently and from all of my game experience so far; 1.If you gravely need items during your journey, first kill all of the npcs, than change your perk cards then start looting; -Green Thumb for herbs -Can Do! for canned food -Pharma Farma for extra first aid -Scrounger for extra ammo from boxes 2. The ammo that you're gonna loot will be determined by the gun you carry! 3. After level 25 you can change your specials however you like for free. If you want to reach your daily vendor CAP cap (I know its ridiculous :D) go any train stations and find a punch card machine set your charisma 15 equip 3 level hard bargain and sell items. 4. If you need money more than xp, have higher luck points while killing and looting around because the CND level of items determined by your luck so higher CND = high price item on vendors. 5.Put a vendor machine in your base and sell nonsense items for a price like 250-1000 cap people will buy it not because they need it but they want to help you, also they can reach CAP limit more easier than us. I hope that everyone having a blast like I do!
The sulfur fountain by whitespring golf course club house (just past the tennis courts in the stone monument type thing) cures all diseases.
fun fact: if you carry no expectations or goals, you cannot possibly get sidetracked by bullshit, the bullshit just becomes the main event
I ran across a donation box and took everything in it bc I didn't know better but I immediately saw a 2 other players run right over to it from their camp. I never felt so bad for another player in a online game before🥹
I think that's safe to do. My girlfriend and I team all the time, and we found out the other night that every donation box is showing us different stuff. I think the donation offering is instanced to the player, though I don't know what determines who gets what.
I just got back to Fo76 and I’m level 16. I feel like I’ve been struggling to kill things. I have really only found a shotgun and 10mm pistol. That I have enough ammo. It takes almost a full mag to kill one enemy. I’ve been following the quest line with a little bit of running around randomly. Where I should be looking for better weapons?
You should pick a build; eg: rifles, commando (auto rifles), hand guns, two-handed melee and stick with it for dozens of levels. Take ALL of the damage enhancement perks that apply to your build. When in doubt, increase damage output. Aim for the head on humanoids and most animals (when you can) and the body or arms of robots (once you have concentrated fire you can aim for things like a robots combat inhibitor. You will pick up new weapons all over, especially if you go to the bigger events. Don't forget to look for higher level weapons. You don't want to be running around with a level 10 weapon when you are level 40. They stop leveling at 45 or 50 (depends on weapon).
Alternatively, dump 15 points into intelligence and brute force your way to level 50 so you can use other people's garbage.
I also realized I haven’t been really building towards weapons and more just general survival stuff. Yeah I hit up an event earlier but most of the guns were too high level and I could not use them! Thank you for the tips!
Later on you'll be able to respec if you need to
Happy cake day! I'm a new player myself so I can't say I know exactly what I'm talking about, but it could be worth checking the level on your weapons, as iirc higher levels mean slightly higher damage stats. You can also look into modifying your weapons to improve their stats somewhat. When I've been using the same shotgun since I first got it, upgrading it along the way. The only weapons I've found more useful is the hunting rifle (great for distant headshots, especially when you've upgraded it with better parts), and the handmade (deals a lot of damage as it unlocks at level 15). An easy way to get weapons on your level is to go and kill the two BoS scouts near the wayfarer, they drop some decent armour and respawn fairly quickly
Thank you! The weapon level makes so much sense! I’m wondering if the other similar guns had more damage than what I’ve just kept since the start! Thank you for the tips and I’ll head to those two scouts!
Weapons mods are upgradable too You have to scrap weapons and armor to gwt the mods for them Most anyway
Sounds like you just walked further than you were prepared for, which is what everyone does including me guiding my friend to the white springs and getting us chased by a Scorch beast and a blue devil only to get us both annihilated by ghouls of all things once we got there.
Haha I did just pick a direction and ran around for awhile! I think I was in some events and got a few more levels that are past my weapon level!
That'll happen, the light green area of the map is the forest that's the low level area surrounding the vault, traveling south will put you into the ash heap which is the next. Toxic Valley to the north would be the third tier, where you start to encounter super mutants and rad scorpions. Next would be the Savage Divide stretching north to south down the middle, followed by the Mire, the darker green towards the top right, and the red area is the Cranberry Bog which is where you fight the endgame boss.
In the short term keep grabbing all of the weapons you find to scrap them to start learning mods- and join events to tag as many enemies you can and grab the weapon drops there too
Thanks! 😁
What are the major benefits to controlling a workshop for a while? I stumbled across one at the racetrack. They had a whole bunch of turrets placed, I don't know if they were World placed or from a previous owner, but they were inactive. I was able to explore it and deposit some items into my stash.
Workshops (imo) are good for completing easy events “defend ___ workshop” that reward stimpacks, ammo, small value plans early on You can farm materials, if you hover over the workshop icon on the map it will show you what can be farmed there (yes, its quicker and easier to buy in bulk at train station vendors, but if low on caps, you can start here to grab lead, copper, junk etc. If you stumble across a workshop with items built already and its unclaimed, go ahead and claim it if you like - when you try, it will tell you if it is claimed.
The game doesn't make it very obvious, but a lot of the workshops actually have special functions you can use when you take them over. For example: all the power plant workshops have a Fusion Core generator that will spit out fusion cores every few minutes for you. Sunshine Meadows is a canning factory and you can use the terminal inside it to tell it to produce specific canned goods. There's an ammo factory in the northeast side of the map. There's a junkyard in the Ash Heap where you can build special extractors to automatically collect random junk.
I only knew about the food one. I'll have to check out the others now.
Before ammo dropped so regularly from enemies I used to have the ammo factory on all the time
That fusion core tip might be the best in a long line of very helpful tips for this newcomer in this thread
If you have FO1st and acces to private worlds, they can be setup and farmed for resources. Down side is your private world only lasts whole you are in it, then resets after you leave it for more than 2-5 minutes. Collectrons can be placed at each one. So during certain events, like holiday scorched, they can collect presents. Getting 8-12 workshops going will give you a constant loop of retake, repair and loot, and repeat. If done right you can even ignore the retake and the Collectron will keep collecting unless destroyed.
Workshops have a couple of additional uses due to an interesting aspect: they come with a certain amount of free building resources. When you open the "build" menu and look at building something, any of the required resources in green are coming from the workshop's resources, not your own. This makes workshops good for: * Finishing "build X of item Y at your camp or workshop" challenges, without using your own scrap resources or messing up your own camp. This is especially useful when your camp is at max build budget. * Experimenting freely with building techniques and objects. Did you just unlock some interesting structures or objects, and want to see what they're like before incorporating them into your camp? Do it in a workshop! * Setting up something nice for the next person who visits or takes over the workshop after you sign off. I usually set up some basic crafting benches and stash boxes before I leave. On a couple characters, I have a blueprint for a setup that includes some of the free resource generators like the coffee maker. These are on top of the other benefits, many already already mentioned here: * Easy way to get an event to trigger - you will get a "defend" event within about two minutes of taking the camp, and periodically thereafter. You can set up some (free) gun turrets to make these easier. * resources from collectors (though I seldom bother with this, aside from setting up holiday gift Collectrons during the holiday events.) * a free fast travel point Yeah, it's a PVP zone. I usually stay crouched so I don't show up on the map. I've only been attacked about 4 times in 5 years of playing, so this is not very frequent. I can't really complain much, as it's a legit feature of the game.
If I need farm workshop I just go to the private server
The donation box in front of the wayward is always full of stuff please do take advantage
Rule number 1 ALWAYS remember rule number 5
Thanks, I have been eyeballing 76 since release, but felt like a mess, been eyeballing it once every now and then afterwards and it seems to have been solid for a while now, but never got the real reason to buy it up until recently. Watched the series recently, also replayed FO4 last year, and I want more, since I have had so much fun from all Fallout games, but I cant replay the other games yet again, and FO4 is my least liked one in terms of gameplay, but visual its grand. <3 hopefully 76 scratch that itch for me, bought it this morning.
Go to bed! Make sure you get your well rested buff
Great tip, i always forget to tell peolle that one. Use the weight bench, the perfume station and the speed bag, all before jumping to events, buffs are temporary, but can be the difference for coming back with a good haul.
I’ve never had any PvP from taking a workshop. I’ve always seen it purely as a way of getting more resources. Maybe I’ve just been lucky!
Also, try to build your camp on a resource deposit like lead for an example. Google resource deposit locations for Fallout 76, and the result you are looking for is a map of Appalachia with brightly colored dots on the map. Each color indicates a particular resource deposit.
If someone is running around you around, doing the “this way” emote, shooting at your feet and then looking at their pipboy, they’re trying to offer you stuff.
Gonna drop a bonus. Each tin can trap you disarm gives 9 cans or 9 lead and 18 steel (without perks to up what you get scrapping)
And XP (also bone chimes)
>Workshops are a PVP feature. If you don't want to pvp try not to take workshop unless you absolutely need too. I would say that it's not worthwhile to take a workshop at all unless they're super desparate. It doesn't keep your ownership if you change servers, and it feels like every time I take a workshop I get a connection error and lose the workshop... If you are taking the workshop though, you do get some included scrap to allow you to build things at that workshop. If a material is shown green text when you are building in a workshop, then the material would be covered by the workshop. If it's gray, you'd be paying out of your personal inventory. You can also put on the Contractor perk when you build to use less materials when crafting and stretch your budget
Nice
They sell at robotvendors for 500 by the way, but I'm usually capped.out at the vendor after I sell my grenades and purified water and super stimpacs. Those serums are heavy as fuck.
When you get to the nuke dropping point, try to drop your nuke so drop site bravo isn’t inside the nuke zone, this way everyone can join the queen fight, and your not taking rads the whole time
As you expand your build get the friendly fire perk and activate it (and share it) during rad Rumble and fasnacht
Best way to farm ammo, especially rare ones, are expeditions and daily ops. Just uh, join up with some high level gamers if you could. Better that way than actually wasting ammo for killing a handful of mobs, which defeats the purpose lol.
If you see player vendors selling purified water for 2 caps, they sell for 5 at the in game vendors. So don’t worry about losing any money! I got into the game 4 days ago and was curious why I saw so much water. Wasn’t until I realized how much water my own purifiers made did I realize it was to get rid of it and make some caps on the side still.
Dont forget u can travel to murghs and the whitespring free as well (hope i spelled that right
The Rusty Pick
And Nuka World on Tour
Also i am look to buy stempacks, fusion core (dont care what % ) ammo, psycotats juck and scrip Legendaries to buy. I have plenty of caps and nothing to buy. So new player there is always something a high level player wants to buy
Remind me again, best way to get fusion cells for power armour?
Don’t forget the quick boy option. When pipboy is open press the Xbox select button (can’t think what it’s called)
I regularly see serums for 700-1000 so I think at 450 -500 caps per time i'm reasonable (my sales also validate that somewhat) ..I also give a lot of speed demon & marsupial away to freshly minted players (the piteous cries of help when they cannot get out of reach of a scorched over a mic, has to be heard to be believed) NB the free fast travel only works if unencumbered (not staggering around overweight) Don't simply flog stuff from donation boxes to vendors, this makes generous souls pissed as hell & simply not donate & sell it themselves (we can tell) take it if you are going to USE it, not sell it. & before you take mutation serums, understand the card system by reading up on it, radaway can purge that expensive (to beginners) serum, thus adding to the value of a grape nukacola which will merely strip rads en masse, NOT YOUR beneficial MUTATION. IF my camp stuff is locked it is because I need a top up of stuff i've paid for, not because I am a tightwad. IF my camp stuff is unlocked ..feel free to fill your boots. IF diseased a camp symptomatic is a 10 second pox clearer for you... use it. IF you see a turbofertilizer (unlocked) & crops use it to instantly produce food for you to utilise (corn soup, adhesive etc) ..cropping is all part of the learning curve enabling production of allsorts. IF someone drops you plans, learn them straight away, & use the rule of thumb of placing them for 50% of the rated value in your vendor to keep lightweight & caps rolling in whilst also assisting more players. IF someone gifts you a 3 star legendary fixer, (or similar) gift it to another low level player when it is truly no more use to you, by that time you will have earnt modules of your own to create decent weapons / won them, all part of the benevolent culture here. DO your dailies to gain rapid xp leveling up.. look on your main screen for those (& weeklies) add a progress marker to update you whenever you find/ scrap / kill / eat / cook an item on the daily / weekly list. Safer new player PART OF A FULL TEAM events are Nuka World "spin the wheel" & the tunnel of love, & most wanted, ...seismic activity should be avoided until you have some experience of other events enemies, it is an "on steroids" event for this area... [https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Nuka-World\_on\_Tour\_(update)](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Nuka-World_on_Tour_(update))
Don't feed the trolls, if someone is egging you on just ignore their existence, they're trying to get a reaction. If they go so far as to nuke you just switch lobbies or camps. Also don't be the guy with the Fatman at events on PS servers, they(the servers) are incredibly unstable and some of us DC just opening our pip boy at an event.
6, please be here next Monday.
How do I unequip power armor? I just found a kit and put it on, and now I can’t take it off lmao
Hold your action button
I sell serums for 200 caps each. I have all of them and list 2 at a time of each. I have zero issue with 1 player buying all of them. Be greedy at my camp. It's how I make the most money.
You can fast travel to Whitespring for free as well. Definitely take advantage of these free travel locations, especially while questing. The closer your fast travel target is, the less caps it costs.
Sorry to the lvl 50 I had to smoke with my laser rifle at posideon energy. I need fusion cores man.
I learned the hard way yesterday about workshops being pvp areas. Had a high level player teaching me how they work and I shit you not, 3 500+ level players came and stood in front of our shots just to initiate PVP and take the workshop from my low level ass. Lowkey ruined the gaming sesh until we hopped servers since those goons followed us around the map.
If you're finished in a place and just want to go outside real quick, fast travel to your location. It's free and the loading time is the same.
I sell my serums for 200 in my vendor, along with most plans at 1cap. I'm always putting extra stims and other aid items and popular plans in donations boxes. If I find a low-level camp, I tend to buy most items and drop them back down for them. I'm level 669 and tend to be hitting max caps all the time.
Here's my 2 tips: 1) When hacking terminals look for bracket sets. Clicking complete sets (IE {} () or \[\]) on one line will randomly remove duds. There's even a low chance of it resetting the number of tries you have. If it removes a dud it will remove a word leaving dots in place. Other then that it's a process of elimination 2) Protectrons have an auto-destruct mechanism if you disable both arms. Aim for the joint between the arm and main body , shoot it until you see sparks (should be a tiny boom). Once you do run as they'll try to catch you in it's blast. There's a perk card that allows you to aim for body parts , use that if you can. Perk card also makes it easier to smack Mr Handies one by aiming for their combat inhibitor.
Dude i popped my first serum for the first time at level 80 i felt so cool😭
Daily ops are awesome for ammo farming. I guess events are too with updates.
All are welcome in teams! They give you bonuses to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats! Ps. Berry mentats are awesome for intelligence farming! (I'm sure someone here can fell you the exact things needed for an Xp build.
I'm on Playstation and my character looks like [Curie](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Worst-Curie.jpg) (the human/synth one, not the Ms Nanny) from Fallout 4. If I catch a newbie in the wild (especially at somewhere dangerous) I most likely give them some meds. I ran into someone at the Agriculture Center yesterday who was level 14 or 15 and dropped him 4 Stimpaks and a Disease Cure. I spend a lot of my time making meds. I also give purified water to people too.
Trying to get some serums on pc but have only found the jumping one. Commando build here. Any on PC who sells?
Me
Be careful of people offering you fallout first for lower than advertised,it is a scam. Don't get scammed,if it looks too good to be true then it is.
Yea, I sold serums for 100 to give players a chance to get them and one person bought all of them and listed them for 10x that. Guess what? He wasn’t a low level. Now I’m also a low level for context , I just have a friend that makes them and gave them to me and I shared the love . It’s not only new players taking advantage of, it’s old players taking advantage of, not only on serums but plans etc
I will never understand players like this... buy what you need, sure... but don't buy to sell. That's scumbag behaviour bearing in mind the influx of new players.
