If that was ever a valid way to make money it's not anymore. Bitcoins are incredibly stupid on their own, but you probably need one of those dedicated rigs to even feel like you're doing something.

Is there any way to get a corpse out of a suit of power armor or do I have to snipe the core out while the guy is alive? I ask because last night in Diamond City some douce triggerman jumped into my suit to murder me and I couldn't find a way to remove the body (my best guess was strip the armor bits off and rebuild it, possibly on a new frame?) so I just reloaded.

The mining process rescales itself based on the computing power in the network, so yes it's absolutely pointless. As soon as the dedicated processing units became a thing, people mining at home became immediately obsolete.

Nick Valentine is the best companion because he doesnt judge you when you loot corpses, will point out ammo caches and will hilariously try to unlock safes by stomping on them.

Curie is a CU-TIE :3: The dialog remaining the same after the change is hilarious. I also gave it her old boss Vault-tech scientist suit to wear.

I'd been tromping around the wasteland and came back to sell some poo poo, as well as outfit a new rifle I found. So I exited the armor to use the workbench and SUDDENLY ASSASSINS.

Not that this stops settlers from jacking my poo poo but at least they get out of the fuckin things.

I should just start 'taking the keys' and pulling out the fusion core when I disembark in questionable surroundings.

You can't get a power armor frame from a corpse, no. If you leave your power armor suit, take your core with you.

Time to swap the armor pieces to a different frame. I found armor two suits (one complete, one partial, I dunno which or if both are subject to leveled loot list rolling) out around the National Guard reciting station you visit as part of the BoS quest to find the missing recon team.

e: Oh for people wanting to really trick out their settlements toggling God Mode sets all your resources to 999 so go wild, I guess. NoClip unfortunately stops electric wires from auto-snapping to poles and machines, so there goes that easy wiring trick. :sigh:

I am level 30 and i have found like 5 powered armor frames with different armours. 1 being the starter set, 1 on a abandoned mil convoy and the rest of mil bases. And speaking of sets I have the T-45 set, a Partial T51 set, a full T-60 set, full Raider set. So dunno where the Enclave set is gonna be, but its gonna be somewhere.

Yeah I'm at 4 right now myself. My 2nd set was inside an armory and had 3 T-51 pieces on it, opening the armory also unleashed my first Sentry Bot. Hooooly gently caress was that a shitshow. I spent a good 5 minutes leading it in circles around a bile of conex boxes and slamming stimpacks. I finally got a good bit of damage in during a vent phase and it blows up. I go to loot it and it died in front of one of the conex's, which has an open door and sitting inside? A full suit of t51.

Good one, game.

I did the same thing but at about 13-14 that queen was a mega bitch but it's doable. before the fight look around inside for a rocket launcher and a few rockets. not enough to kill her but itll do a good chunk of damage.

Even with the missile launcher it's still a bitch. I reloaded almost immediately after I started engaging the queen, laid a huge minefield on top of that battlement, and did my best to dodgeball out of the way of that loving bullshit acid spit.

I tend to run with whatever I have a fuckload of ammo for. Right now thats a tricked out fully auto combat rifle and Righteous Authority.

I'm sitting on a dope plasma rifle but ammo is quite limited right now. I do absolutely love that I looted a dinky plasma pistol and duct taped it into a kickass monster plasma rifle, though.

Lucky, my controller shipped last week but hasn't shown up yet. I prefer spray and pray, myself. If I can make it full auto, it is. Neat 10mm pistol? Now its a future Mac-10. Oh nice laser rifle, I'll bet its even better if it can mow down a town in one trigger pull! :getin:

I made a six crank laser musket sniper which works really well, I have a legendary”50% extra crit damage” max mod .50 hunting rifle I called the “gently caress you Face Fucker”, the upgrade to the normal mad mod .50 hunting rifle called “Face Fucker”.

I have twinsies .10mil pistol, one is kind of max moded silenced one called “Silent but Deadly”, the other is max moded unsilenced one called “Loud and deadly”. Then I found a legendary .10mm that had exploding bullets so “Loud and deadly” is now known as “loving loud and deadly”.

My mil housewife has quite the mouth, but at least she got that haircut and niptuck she always wanted.

The minuteman questline loving owns. You end up getting artillery you can setup at any settlement you control and can really gently caress poo poo up with it, if they don't move.



also random legendary loot can own

Caliber just means the diameter of the bullet in inches, so a .50 cal is half an inch in diameter

mm is the same, but in metric. So a 9mm projectile is just 9mm in diameter

Now you know and knowing is half the battle and makes Marines on internet forums a lil less spergy
