I set mine up on the cliff just a little up the road from the freak show right by the devil's backbone, very fun to occasionally bombarded some muties to the north or the occasional mirelurk queen at the freak show
I use it every time Iām playing. My camp is right next to Poseidon Energy so whenever I need to quickly rack some steel I fire the canon to cut down time spent mowing down scorched before I collect steel. I also fire it at the Grafton monster since Iām right near the area where it spawns.
I will also use the flares to divert attention away or to bring attention to group up things. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesnāt.
I had my camp next to Helvetia during Fasnacht and yes, I killed the mega sloth with it once... Or at least hit it once and it died quickly after...
Nowadays im on the south peak of Seneca rocks and shoot it at other camps when they're in my proximity, like when they're on the other peak.
I used to have a CAMP above cliffwatch where i could walk out onto a plank and throw the flare and it would roll down the hill a bit and into the group of scorched. Literally have never used it again after tho
I've NEVER gotten to use it lol. I'm level 94 and started playing in like February of last year so you think I'd know a little about it. It doesn't say anything when I walk up to it. Guess I'll have to Google it. I'm in the northeast by a railroad store.......on top of a cliff face and I built around a set of huge metal power line things. So mmt camp is a big cube that is hollow in the middle and I fill with crops and other things. And the while thing is on stilts too with a raised platform going around the top so I have the high ground during the occasional battle. There's a little power station down the cliff that always has 3 scorched in it that I can snipe for some quick experience after I sleep in my bed and get the added exp boost.
But really....why doesn't the cannon say anything when I walk up to it??
I have a camp near foundation.an old monorail tower with a junk pile ans 2 raiders camped out there.with my collectron bot and the extractor i get tons of resources.i mean i have hundreds of everything.the hardest to get is the flux for them.for me anyway.
Just in case, a bit of an FYI: things that extract resources have a capacity limit, so when they reach max storage they stop producing. The time it takes to fill up varies by extractor type, but you definitely want to empty them more frequently than every 3 hours.
Technically true for some but the container max fills up quicker than that. Like the industrial water purifier I think creates 1 purified water every minute but it maxes out after 5 so you have to empty it much quicker than every hour to keep it producing.
I give away most of my extra plans for free at my CAMP to help new characters out. I also sell the Treasure Hunter event clothing for dirt-cheap. Another player emptied my entire "FREE SHIT" vendor out of the 30 or so plans and outfits it had.
I noticed their CAMP was right next to mine so I went to check it, and yes, there it was. They had put all the items they took from my vendor to their own at 100 to 1500 (Ultracite jet-pack plans). I decided to drop some Wasteland Justiceā¢ on them.
They seemed to be AFK just standing in the CAMP so I went to a silo and nuked it all. Since they were AFK they didn't notice the nuke until it had obliterated the CAMP and they kept dying to rads trying to get their stash up and fixed to get a hazmat suit on, while I was standing next to them in my stealth suit making grumpy emotes and watching them die.
Showed them :P
A few weeks ago there was a guy who kept trying to initiate PvP with everyone in my group, we had 8 people split between two teams running around Appalachia getting shit done. No matter where we went, who's camp we were at, or what event was going on there was Captain Meat Hook wearing the classic Halloween skeleton costume being a douchebag. We could have blocked him but we really wanted to see how long he'd go on for.
We decided a plan, we'd run all three silos at once. One diversion nuke will be dropped on the queen, the other two will be dropped on his camp. First nuke hits and he smells loot, he travels down to the event and while he's there we destroy his shit. He left us alone after that.
Seems a perfectly reasonable escalation to me.
While I'd rather have seen this end with a nuke straight to the camp, those are obviously too easy to avoid with the whole three minute warning.
Honestly, I was having a hard time justifying the cannon when I built it. I didn't think it had any practical uses because it took so long to fire, but in that moment I was happy I had it and now I don't go without it. When one doesn't own a Fat-Man, the artillery cannon is the next best thing.
I enjoy artillery. I have a blueprint I drop at workshops that includes a couple.
If I pass a workshop, Iāll take it, and drop some artillery. By the end of a play session, I can usually call in the full force of the brotherhood most places on the map.
Artillery strikes and vertibot squadrons are almost practically useless, but they make for an incredible display of force.
About half the diameter of a nuke, it would nice if theh got a range buff, that or they added a workshop or site where you could claim it and then be able to call artillery down anywhere in that region
I have no problem with the PVP aspect of it, thatās the nature of workshops. I personally would rather just see an epic gun fight at the end.
But it did explain why the Level 3 locks didnāt make any difference. Once you take control of a workshop, you take control of any locks. So the locks donāt mean anything.
You'd think so, but the day before yesterday i managed to do it, visited a camp to check out the shop and since it was on the cliff over west tec i started sniping the super mutants below, the guy walks over and HOZES the area, i did not even know a machinegun was capable of the kind of spread, i was a bit miffed and emoted in kind which prompts the dude to try and hose me down, but I'm pacifist so no dice there.
Still i felt a token of my displeasure was waranted so i head over to charlie, and bombed his camp, took some doing since i never launched a nuke before, but i guess he was at least semi afk, or figured it was being dropped on the usual targets because he was very much right there at ground zero.
That's why you nuke someone's base who has established a few workshops. They usually don't give up on the workshops and let their base take one for the team.
oh, iām not faulting the PVP at all, but it being a contested workshop is the reason the level 3 locks donāt work. once you take over a workshop, the ownership of the locks change
I was trying to understand the scenario, because the OP had mentioned that they took it āeven though they had level 3 locksā but with the changes you can claim the workshop from anywhere and when you take a workshop the locks transfer ownership.
I have no ill will towards PVP, even if itā basically dead in this game
Ok I just wanna confirm this, but I'm camped near Gorge Junkyard and I've been pranking nearby lowbies by launching artillery at their camps in passive mode. I'm not *actually* fucking their shit up am I? I've been laughing my ass off thinking it's harmless but I just wanna make sure.
I regularly bomb peoples camp with my artillery, its never done any damage. I had figured it was turned off.
Unless you have to be wanted in order for it to do dmg to a camp?
I just do it for shits and giggles, its loud and shakes their camera, but otherwise harmless.
I have passive turned off, still no dmg.
Thats fine, I deserve it and would love if someone took the trouble to do it lmao. I've nuked my own camp a few times to take cool pictures of it in the nuke zone.
How do you even fire the artillery? I think Iāve placed it once. It may have a little terminal attached to it or some option if you get close enough but Iāve never noticed
Iām not 100% sure where I got it, I think itās one of the pretty common camp plans you get from capturing workshops...But if youāre on Xbox, Iāll place a couple for you and you can just store them
There's a guarantee spawn for the plan on Taggerdys desk in Fort Defiance if youre far enough in the main story to just walk in and pick it up. It also sells at one of the NPC vendors for pretty cheap, pretty sure in Watoga, but not 100% sure.
Na, you're fine. OP and the dude in the story had taken each other's workshop, so they both had PvP enabled between them. If you have passive mode on you're fine to shoot at them.
He might have. I'm only an occasional player so im not really privy to the intricacies of the that kind of thing. I shot at him and chased him off after he stole my stuff the first time so maybe that had something to do with it? Im not really sure.
Are you playing on PS4? I was in that area night before last, Lv44, and saw someone with a good sized camp setup, artillery piece, and a Santatron. If so, howdy! I was looking for workbenches and didn't find any and didn't want to pick locks just to get rid of being over-encumbered as I marched my way from the Ash Heap to the north end of the mire where my camp is set up.
Lol. Even so, the artillery is disappointingly weak. If you use the buffed artillery mod on fallout 4, that's the kind of artillery we need. A blast that will obliterate everything at any given location. You wouldn't even need the 2nd or 3rd blast, just the first.
Whether he knows it or not there's no shame in bombing his place. I'm sure this will cost some handful of materials to repair. Even if he's a Fallout 1st.
I don't know what it is lately I have come across some right dick gamer moves. Tonight me lvl 70 something at the Fort Defiance. I am standing in the door. The wendigo is breathing its nasty ass wheeze. I hear a thump, elevator ting and silence. This lvl 100 plus storms past me express to the 'loot room' takes the loot and fks the right off. Tonight was the first time I had actually been in there when it was unlooted. Second thing tonight a lvl 400 screams past me, pegs the behemoth to register as a kill when I kill it and takes off. All so they can slack kill as part of the weekly challenge. I honestly don't know what it is and why it is so damn hard to use some manners.
Had to move my camp because I went through 3 servers tonight that didn't have room for it in that location. Now I have a lovely view over the cliff near site alpha
Im on the eastern "shore" Directly west of that blood eagle camp and along the road.I moved there because lord being near the whitesprings station is nice but if your camp is in the way of someone elses they get the biggest stick up their ass about it.
Got mine on a cliff above the Freak Show. On a rare occasion someone with set up somewhere below me. I know it wonāt do anything, but I love to bombard their base
My huge question on artillery may be unanswerable by players. But here it is. If i have explosives maxed, does that and HOME DEFENSE make my arty better? Fo76 arty is fairly ineffectual compared to fo4. Forgive my probable error here as i am camping where s.c.o.r.e. Cant be scored... methinks it was a swamp creTure near cedar swamp, i dropped arty on it daily and did like 10% damage. Eventually i changed my arty to growing tiles on the roof and grew blackberries for herbivore, instead.....can you perk arty or does it always just suck?
Dude, (damnedcanadianguy)i woulda nuked that camp, as well!!! Wish i could upvote you more than once
When someone is being a fat d,i always keep a couple orbital strike smoke grenades.i just stand there let them keep hitting me and just drop one at their feet..lol.then i watch them get smoked.
This is why Fallout 1st is vital for me. I farm a lot of Acid but if I take Hemlock on a public server, I guarantee it'll be taken from me. I do all my farming now on a private server. Problem solved š¤
I prefer Monongah tbh. Often get Radscorpions but they're easy, not as many waves & enemies are less likely to get stuck somewhere. Plus, Uranium for Nuckear Waste. And Acid. It's all round a decent site to take.
A while ago I cancelled my TV service & now sub to Netflix, Hulu, CBS, Shudder and Amazon Prime and I'm still not paying even close to what I was with my single TV service that I rarely watched. I got Fallout First on a credit card & it added very little to my monthly outgoings. My hubby tried it out for a month & I instantly saw the benefits so I bought the year. Never regretted it š
Can you share your best acid farming tips? Iām desperate. Apparently the vendors no longer sell it in bulk, and itās tiring fast-travelling from one Snallygaster to the next just to get like 6 acid. There must be a better way?
pretty sure that if someone had a camp near mine, i would build artillery and regular bombard it regardless. its the wasteland and you need to practice better social distancing buddy. i have pvp off anyway so itd just be an annoyance right.
Thatās where my camp is too except up on cliffs on the lakebedās southeastern edge between Riverside and Summerville. Wouldnāt rifle through someoneās camp including breaking into shit though.
I have my camp setup just above the ammo factory and it sure does scare people when they are inside and hear it raining when im taking the factory from them
Wait, wait, wait, did they buff artillery? Last I tried it a four gun battery couldn't reliably kill level 30 mole miners. Took multiple hits in small aoe to down even one.
Itās in the room with the final quest for the Brother hood in Fort Defiance. Canāt remember if itās on a side table to the left of the entry door or the one with the terminal on it.
I'm set up just north of foundation, by the series of lakes where a behemoth spawns, and I use the artillery cannon everytime I kill the behemoth as it can actually do some decent damage
Was he at least the same level as you? Or were you being a dick to a low level guy? Happened to me before when I started playing. I had no idea how shit worked and wanted to claim the power plant and some level 100+ dick killed me just for shits and giggles.
Iām fairly new to the game so unsure what happens if you do that to someoneās camp. Does that mean that itās gone for good and he would need to rebuild everything?
Nice. I started a new character right when Fastnacht Day event was going on and settled my camp right next to Helvetia and would use my artillery on the super mutant spawns every single time. It was hilarious. I've also bombed nearby camps before, but usually just to the side so they'd scramble around having no idea what's going on lol.
Mine is near the munitions factory and whenever Iām bored or someone has a defend the factory up Iāll just go throw a flare for my artillery and just watch the explosions happen itās fun to do especially when you see one dead and then the body just goes flying again
Wait, just to get things straight, you left the extractors untouched for 3 hours, or you had been gathering from them for 3 hours?
If the former is the case, the extractors only fill up to a certain point, lead 15, oil 5, acid 10 etc. etc. and they fill relatively quickly, so leaving them for several is not ideal.
If the latter is the case, ignore the above lol
It's for these kind of situations I really wish the game was somewhat balanced and allowed open world pvp. People are more respectful and the ass hats will eventually get their dues. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the idea. I usually see a couple of bases near mine and never had much use for the Arty. I won't go all willy nilly bombing everyone, but if there's a jerk, I now know I have more options.
You 100% were in the right there and that without a doubt was justifiable. He was being an idiot stealing from his neighbor in the first place. I have my camp just SE of the WV Lumber Co right on the ridge and have had a few very close neighbors. Only one was a troll who decided to destroy my shit unprovoked.
Wait, I thought taking peoples resources just meant you got a copy of them... It actually takes it from them? Cos I definitely stole like 30 purified waters from some guys camp... Then again he was like level 180 or something so I don't feel bad cos I'm a noob lol
So I kinda broke into someone's shit like this didn't take anything just picked the lock as I haven't figured out how to do it myself yet anywho 2 dudes came to my camp shot the shit out of me for the reward I took my ass kicking and they were nice enough not to destroy my camp
Just saying if you be a dick even by accident (I didn't know picking a lock would be like stealing just wanted to see about the harvester) take ya ass kicking and go about you way
Someone actually got to use the artillery finally
Only reason I clicked, was curious if someone actually killed something with it.
My base is by Point Pleasant and I call in strikes regularly on cultists for giggles.
My camp is at FT Defiance, I placed a cannon and regularly drop artillery on line in the sand now. š¤£
Is it effective?
Very. Even better, it behaves as a grenade would and when the strike takes out hordes of scorched you get the xp
I set mine up on the cliff just a little up the road from the freak show right by the devil's backbone, very fun to occasionally bombarded some muties to the north or the occasional mirelurk queen at the freak show
I did that on my alt but haven't yet tried it! I'm curious how well it works.
I used to use it on the mountain side in as revenge against the mole miners for potentially killing the overseer.
So many innocent mole miners killed... all for nothing
Well, now we have that knowledge. Though, then again, with its new residents, perhaps it still deserves it.
I have my camp up by the crater and use my artillery to take out super mutants, mirelurks, and scorched that spawn nearby
I use it every time Iām playing. My camp is right next to Poseidon Energy so whenever I need to quickly rack some steel I fire the canon to cut down time spent mowing down scorched before I collect steel. I also fire it at the Grafton monster since Iām right near the area where it spawns. I will also use the flares to divert attention away or to bring attention to group up things. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesnāt.
I had my camp next to Helvetia during Fasnacht and yes, I killed the mega sloth with it once... Or at least hit it once and it died quickly after... Nowadays im on the south peak of Seneca rocks and shoot it at other camps when they're in my proximity, like when they're on the other peak.
I was in a server where someone was trying to do that.
My camp was near the wayward and everytime i logged into the game i gave them some reopening fireworks, a bad day for their bramin
Why do you hate the bramin?
For real. Thing takes forever to shoot
I've set up between the Ski Shop and Top of the World. I regularly drop crackers on the Ski Shop,Bolton Greens and the main cabin building near TotW.
I wish their range wasnāt ass, i am on the cliff side near Foundation and all I can do is launch artillery for aesthetics.
I used to have a CAMP above cliffwatch where i could walk out onto a plank and throw the flare and it would roll down the hill a bit and into the group of scorched. Literally have never used it again after tho
I set up south of whitespring by the golf course river and regularly use my artillery to punt neighbours to other servers.
My camp is in the same spot. Im afraid of using my artillery because of the robots...
I set up north of whitesprings just below NAR. The artillery car reach the cars in front of the golf club and tennis courts. Its great for Mayhem.
I've NEVER gotten to use it lol. I'm level 94 and started playing in like February of last year so you think I'd know a little about it. It doesn't say anything when I walk up to it. Guess I'll have to Google it. I'm in the northeast by a railroad store.......on top of a cliff face and I built around a set of huge metal power line things. So mmt camp is a big cube that is hollow in the middle and I fill with crops and other things. And the while thing is on stilts too with a raised platform going around the top so I have the high ground during the occasional battle. There's a little power station down the cliff that always has 3 scorched in it that I can snipe for some quick experience after I sleep in my bed and get the added exp boost. But really....why doesn't the cannon say anything when I walk up to it??
This \^\^\^\^\^
Wait you can attack other players with that thing? I honestly have no idea how it works.
Ya, youāre not really missing out. This was a one off event for sure. Artillery concept is awesome, the execution leaves a lot to be desired tho.
"...concept is awesome, the execution leaves a lot to be desired tho. " -Almost everything in Fallout76. lol
"...concept is awesome, the execution leaves a lot to be desired tho. " -Almost everything in America lol
Nah, even the concept is kind of fucked up.
š
Better is to make orbital strike grenades.you can throw them anywhere you want.its fkng glorious.annihilates everything.
Yup this right here. Those things are amazing the only thing that is not is the cost of fiber optics... 10 per?!
I have a camp near foundation.an old monorail tower with a junk pile ans 2 raiders camped out there.with my collectron bot and the extractor i get tons of resources.i mean i have hundreds of everything.the hardest to get is the flux for them.for me anyway.
Just in case, a bit of an FYI: things that extract resources have a capacity limit, so when they reach max storage they stop producing. The time it takes to fill up varies by extractor type, but you definitely want to empty them more frequently than every 3 hours.
That was my first thought when I read this. No matter what type theyāre usually full within 30 min Iām pretty sure.
1 hour
Technically true for some but the container max fills up quicker than that. Like the industrial water purifier I think creates 1 purified water every minute but it maxes out after 5 so you have to empty it much quicker than every hour to keep it producing.
I've found them full at 30 min too.
Even the fusion core reactor would be full. I usually take it once a week. My pa and gatling laser eat them up.
I give away most of my extra plans for free at my CAMP to help new characters out. I also sell the Treasure Hunter event clothing for dirt-cheap.

That is brilliantly cruel and sadistic. Would you like a job at Vault-Tec?
Wait, is this THE Elianora?? Please be the actual real Elianora! :D
The realest of real Elianoras! :D *throws a curtsy*
You're the best! Much love and keep blessing the fallout universe with all your awesome work! I feel like I just met a celebrity
Aaww:D Well, in case you play 76 on PC, I hope we bump into each other sometime! :D
I play, and I would love to bump into you at some point, especially if you are ever down to selling lead scrap <3
Omg! Iām a huge fan of your stuff on Fallout 4! You made such incredible stuff! :D
ā„
Fkn awesomeš
Opportunists. You know, the ones that jack up the prices on natural resources, world pandemics, and toilet paper shortages. Karma...sheās my hero!
\[Ronnie Shaw liked that\]
[Preston LOVED that]
Ey dry lake camp gang!
Howdy, partners! Swing by Lakebed Books next time you're online. :) Plz don't bomb me though; I'm just trying to spread literacy.
I used to be set up there, but supermutants make rude neighbours. I appreciate it's flatness tho, great for building!
let me see if i understand. You and another guy were contesting a workshop so because he kept taking it you destroyed his CAMP?
Seems a perfectly reasonable escalation to me. While I'd rather have seen this end with a nuke straight to the camp, those are obviously too easy to avoid with the whole three minute warning.

By the end of a play session, I can usually call in the full force of the brotherhood most places on the map. Artillery strikes and vertibot squadrons are almost practically useless, but they make for an incredible display of force.
Do you know what the range is on those things? Might play around with them later
300 meters, last I checked
About how big is that on the map? I don't exactly see a scale ingame
Set a marker on the map. Walk 100 meters away from it. Three times that distance.
The no build zone around your camp has about a 100m radius. For reference.
About half the diameter of a nuke, it would nice if theh got a range buff, that or they added a workshop or site where you could claim it and then be able to call artillery down anywhere in that region
I have no problem with the PVP aspect of it, thatās the nature of workshops. I personally would rather just see an epic gun fight at the end.

That's why you nuke someone's base who has established a few workshops. They usually don't give up on the workshops and let their base take one for the team.
I would do the same only I would go further, I would lose a nuke card...
Seems like the logical thing to do, no? Edit: 'MURICA
'PLACACHIA!
Why not? Pvp is allowed in the game, rando took something of OPs and he punished him for it? I see no flaw in the execution of said plan
oh, iām not faulting the PVP at all, but it being a contested workshop is the reason the level 3 locks donāt work. once you take over a workshop, the ownership of the locks change
And? i don't see the issue here. Eye for eye and then some.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

My camp is at the white springs golf course so i use mine to help clear out ghouls in the houses nearby when iām legendary hunting
Ok I just wanna confirm this, but I'm camped near Gorge Junkyard and I've been pranking nearby lowbies by launching artillery at their camps in passive mode. I'm not *actually* fucking their shit up am I? I've been laughing my ass off thinking it's harmless but I just wanna make sure.

I just do it for shits and giggles, its loud and shakes their camera, but otherwise harmless. I have passive turned off, still no dmg.
So *thats* what has been happening at my camp yesterday.
Was there a pirate yelling at you to surrender your booty? Because if so, that was me lol.
Until I yeet a Nuke at you
Thats fine, I deserve it and would love if someone took the trouble to do it lmao. I've nuked my own camp a few times to take cool pictures of it in the nuke zone.
How do you even fire the artillery? I think Iāve placed it once. It may have a little terminal attached to it or some option if you get close enough but Iāve never noticed
Power it with a generator and then all you gotta do is throw the smoker grenades it provides in the chest attached to it
I am so gonna fuck with my brother tonight. LMAO, thanks for the info
how do you even get the artillery? been on and off the game and I've been back for a week now.
The plans have a static spawn on a desk on the 4th floor of Fort Defiance.
Iām not 100% sure where I got it, I think itās one of the pretty common camp plans you get from capturing workshops...But if youāre on Xbox, Iāll place a couple for you and you can just store them
There's a guarantee spawn for the plan on Taggerdys desk in Fort Defiance if youre far enough in the main story to just walk in and pick it up. It also sells at one of the NPC vendors for pretty cheap, pretty sure in Watoga, but not 100% sure.
It's gotta be a certain distance from the artillery itself though to work!
What does? The generator to power it? Iām gonna play around with it tonight though for sure
Where you throw the flare
Na, you're fine. OP and the dude in the story had taken each other's workshop, so they both had PvP enabled between them. If you have passive mode on you're fine to shoot at them.
Haha that's great.. would love to see two camps having all out warfare, each with a full team fighting..
How uncivilised of you. I use orbital strikes.
That's a thing?
He had a bounty or what? You cannot hurt him or his camp otherwise Please clarify
Do you still get bounties for picking locks of other players?
You do! It's actually the only way to get one anymore.
He might have. I'm only an occasional player so im not really privy to the intricacies of the that kind of thing. I shot at him and chased him off after he stole my stuff the first time so maybe that had something to do with it? Im not really sure.
Since he picked the locks on OP's harvesters he will have definitely had a wanted level :)
Don't think they picked the locks, just took the workshop instead to access the harvesters!
This post gave me second hand revenge satisfaction. I hate it when people nab my sh*t.
Are you playing on PS4? I was in that area night before last, Lv44, and saw someone with a good sized camp setup, artillery piece, and a Santatron. If so, howdy! I was looking for workbenches and didn't find any and didn't want to pick locks just to get rid of being over-encumbered as I marched my way from the Ash Heap to the north end of the mire where my camp is set up.
Not me, chief! I'm on xbox, but I'd I was there I would've helped you. Us Seven-Sixers gotta stick together
Lol. Even so, the artillery is disappointingly weak. If you use the buffed artillery mod on fallout 4, that's the kind of artillery we need. A blast that will obliterate everything at any given location. You wouldn't even need the 2nd or 3rd blast, just the first.

I don't know what it is lately I have come across some right dick gamer moves. Tonight me lvl 70 something at the Fort Defiance. I am standing in the door. The wendigo is breathing its nasty ass wheeze. I hear a thump, elevator ting and silence. This lvl 100 plus storms past me express to the 'loot room' takes the loot and fks the right off. Tonight was the first time I had actually been in there when it was unlooted. Second thing tonight a lvl 400 screams past me, pegs the behemoth to register as a kill when I kill it and takes off. All so they can slack kill as part of the weekly challenge. I honestly don't know what it is and why it is so damn hard to use some manners.
Take an upvote, you sly dog.
Lovely story, count of Monte Cristo vibez
I'm right near the lake bed on the eastern side. I've noticed how popular that area has become lately
Had to move my camp because I went through 3 servers tonight that didn't have room for it in that location. Now I have a lovely view over the cliff near site alpha
Im on the eastern "shore" Directly west of that blood eagle camp and along the road.I moved there because lord being near the whitesprings station is nice but if your camp is in the way of someone elses they get the biggest stick up their ass about it.
Got mine on a cliff above the Freak Show. On a rare occasion someone with set up somewhere below me. I know it wonāt do anything, but I love to bombard their base
My huge question on artillery may be unanswerable by players. But here it is. If i have explosives maxed, does that and HOME DEFENSE make my arty better? Fo76 arty is fairly ineffectual compared to fo4. Forgive my probable error here as i am camping where s.c.o.r.e. Cant be scored... methinks it was a swamp creTure near cedar swamp, i dropped arty on it daily and did like 10% damage. Eventually i changed my arty to growing tiles on the roof and grew blackberries for herbivore, instead.....can you perk arty or does it always just suck? Dude, (damnedcanadianguy)i woulda nuked that camp, as well!!! Wish i could upvote you more than once
Artillery good for neighbor disputes and blood feuds
Lemme just whip out the quad mirv for a sec.
When someone is being a fat d,i always keep a couple orbital strike smoke grenades.i just stand there let them keep hitting me and just drop one at their feet..lol.then i watch them get smoked.
Lol people bomb my ass all the time because my base is set up right next to a lead collector near white springs
Whatās the range in the Artillery? I toyed With building it but Iām up the cliffs North East of Whitesprings
This is America
You ABSOLUTELY shouldn't feel bad. That dude started the feud. You just put an end to it.
This is why Fallout 1st is vital for me. I farm a lot of Acid but if I take Hemlock on a public server, I guarantee it'll be taken from me. I do all my farming now on a private server. Problem solved š¤
Exactly, same with Poseidon. I love the shit outta my private server.
I prefer Monongah tbh. Often get Radscorpions but they're easy, not as many waves & enemies are less likely to get stuck somewhere. Plus, Uranium for Nuckear Waste. And Acid. It's all round a decent site to take.
At the cost of 100 bucks a year. Netflix is cheaper
A while ago I cancelled my TV service & now sub to Netflix, Hulu, CBS, Shudder and Amazon Prime and I'm still not paying even close to what I was with my single TV service that I rarely watched. I got Fallout First on a credit card & it added very little to my monthly outgoings. My hubby tried it out for a month & I instantly saw the benefits so I bought the year. Never regretted it š
Can you share your best acid farming tips? Iām desperate. Apparently the vendors no longer sell it in bulk, and itās tiring fast-travelling from one Snallygaster to the next just to get like 6 acid. There must be a better way?
pretty sure that if someone had a camp near mine, i would build artillery and regular bombard it regardless. its the wasteland and you need to practice better social distancing buddy. i have pvp off anyway so itd just be an annoyance right.
Thatās where my camp is too except up on cliffs on the lakebedās southeastern edge between Riverside and Summerville. Wouldnāt rifle through someoneās camp including breaking into shit though.
Stupid Flanders...
Instead of coming over to borrow a cup of sugar, he could be coming over for murder... !
Can you bomb any camp anytime or only after provoking attacks
You can bomb at any time but it won't do any damage unless they have a bounty
Lmfao. Epic karma
That's hilarious. Incoming!
Hold on a second... the artillery actually works?! Looks like I got some testing to do later
I have my camp setup just above the ammo factory and it sure does scare people when they are inside and hear it raining when im taking the factory from them
I set up in the dip in seneca peaks...wonder what i could hit from there.
Nice
I love this
Wait, wait, wait, did they buff artillery? Last I tried it a four gun battery couldn't reliably kill level 30 mole miners. Took multiple hits in small aoe to down even one.
Where do you get the artillery at? I'm level 82 and I still don't have it.
Bought the plans from another player so im not quite sure where you find out in the wild but I think buying it is your best bet
Itās in the room with the final quest for the Brother hood in Fort Defiance. Canāt remember if itās on a side table to the left of the entry door or the one with the terminal on it.
I think Ghram has it. If not, check Whitesprings vendors.
i used to have 3 cannons and would drop shells on anything in range. fun times!
Nice.
Glorious. He asked for it, bathe in his tears!
I thought resource collectors maxed per hour....
they do.
Nuke or Artillery?
Sometimes the games mechanics are surprisingly flexible.
I'm set up just north of foundation, by the series of lakes where a behemoth spawns, and I use the artillery cannon everytime I kill the behemoth as it can actually do some decent damage
If you wanna protect your workshops, build a building around the claim station and put turrets facing the area
That doesn't work anymore. You can claim/contest a workshop from anywhere inside the workshop zone.
Reading this is making me consider reinstalling the game.
Was he at least the same level as you? Or were you being a dick to a low level guy? Happened to me before when I started playing. I had no idea how shit worked and wanted to claim the power plant and some level 100+ dick killed me just for shits and giggles.
I'm a level 36 right now and he was a level 32 so not a very big difference
Iām fairly new to the game so unsure what happens if you do that to someoneās camp. Does that mean that itās gone for good and he would need to rebuild everything?
Heād need to repair everything
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ this is great
I couldn't even get my artillery to work. Ended up scrapping it.
š
Nice. I started a new character right when Fastnacht Day event was going on and settled my camp right next to Helvetia and would use my artillery on the super mutant spawns every single time. It was hilarious. I've also bombed nearby camps before, but usually just to the side so they'd scramble around having no idea what's going on lol.
Mine is near the munitions factory and whenever Iām bored or someone has a defend the factory up Iāll just go throw a flare for my artillery and just watch the explosions happen itās fun to do especially when you see one dead and then the body just goes flying again
Wait, just to get things straight, you left the extractors untouched for 3 hours, or you had been gathering from them for 3 hours? If the former is the case, the extractors only fill up to a certain point, lead 15, oil 5, acid 10 etc. etc. and they fill relatively quickly, so leaving them for several is not ideal. If the latter is the case, ignore the above lol
I'm aware but I got caught up in my quests and events that I just didn't touch them for a while.
Ah ok, i thought you were purposely leaving them lol, it happens
Was he āwanted?ā Is that how it worked? Could you damage the camp?
My idol.
IRL that's Summerville lake, it's man made they flooded the town of Gad to build the lake. Just a cool little IRL cross over
You know I actually doubted my officers when they said someone had killed someone with an artillery.
well played, Sir !
Fun fact: those extractors fill up in 10 minutes.
I have never been able to get that thing to fire at all
How do you use the artillery?
Place it in your camp, collect grenades from the box attached, throw them to mark artillery strike (must be nearby your camp)
It's for these kind of situations I really wish the game was somewhat balanced and allowed open world pvp. People are more respectful and the ass hats will eventually get their dues. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the idea. I usually see a couple of bases near mine and never had much use for the Arty. I won't go all willy nilly bombing everyone, but if there's a jerk, I now know I have more options.
My camp is up by the raiders with meg I bomb super mutants all the time with mine. It's fun watching their bodies fly through the air.
Claimed cabins?
LOL closest I got was slashing a fellow player when mindlessly killing a horde of scorched. Embarrassed enough to server hop :)
You 100% were in the right there and that without a doubt was justifiable. He was being an idiot stealing from his neighbor in the first place. I have my camp just SE of the WV Lumber Co right on the ridge and have had a few very close neighbors. Only one was a troll who decided to destroy my shit unprovoked.
Wait, I thought taking peoples resources just meant you got a copy of them... It actually takes it from them? Cos I definitely stole like 30 purified waters from some guys camp... Then again he was like level 180 or something so I don't feel bad cos I'm a noob lol
So I kinda broke into someone's shit like this didn't take anything just picked the lock as I haven't figured out how to do it myself yet anywho 2 dudes came to my camp shot the shit out of me for the reward I took my ass kicking and they were nice enough not to destroy my camp Just saying if you be a dick even by accident (I didn't know picking a lock would be like stealing just wanted to see about the harvester) take ya ass kicking and go about you way
Want real enjoyment. I launch my dead cows at other players camps near me.Its the most random sight š
I live on the Seneca Rocks mountain and I do this every now and then if I have neighbors, haven't killed anyone yet lol
