I actually prefer the X01 pa overall because of the energy/rad rotection. Are there ways to get mods other than spending caps at the enclave vendor, or player vendors?

I sided with Settlers on my main and didn't understand that you can complete almost the entire story except the final heist itself with both factions. I went with Raiders on my alt and they are much more colorful. RaRa, Gail, Lou, Weasel, and Gentleman Johnny are all way more fun than the Settlers cast. I thought the Raiders would be total sociopaths but that role is occupied more by the Blood Eagles. The Raiders at crater are more like hilarious pirates or vikings. They steal and murder too, sure, but they have heart!

The main things that bug me right now are ammo scarcity, and a thing that would help me - the raider ammo dispenser - is stuck behind a slow grind which isn't that interesting. I tried the encounter farming for a bit and it was slow and putting me to sleep. I wish there were more interesting and productive ways to farm rep. I'm very interested in what next week's roadmap has to offer because the endgame right now isn't great.

Server hop and loot all the dumbbells from the nuke sites thats around 80 lead per. The event prison break can also have some dumbbells infront of the door you are protecting. Buy bulk lead from the vendor bots. Boom ammo is no longer scarce. Remember to use ammosmith and super duper when crafting.


I haven't crafted ammo in over a week too.

i found them kinda annoying tbqh so i did the heist with the settlers then kept all the gold for myself

it changed a couple bits of dialogue and lost a tiny bit of settler rep but otherwise had not much effect and everyone still likes me now, and I have 1000+ gold

I've always liked mindless loot and shoot and explore games and the game has been pretty stable since I got back into it. The new wastelander and cryptid quests have been enjoyable. It is a nice unstressful game during these very stressful times.

Yeah, times like these definitely call for a game that's a 6/10. I've been enjoying parking my brain here in this messy, ambitious, duct-taped game.

Speaking of mess, I ran into a bunch of cultists worshiping a Vengeful Mothman. I killed them all, but the Mothman would heal faster than I could kill it, and when I finally pulled out the gatling laser he wouldn't go past 1 health. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature. Anybody seen this?

I wish this game weren't so PVP unfriendly. I was doing Uranium Fever with about 7 other people and one guy kept killing the legendaries as soon as they spawned and not letting anyone else get hits in. I tried to kill him but of course my gun did like 1 damage and then everyone mowed me down. I forgot how stupidly impossible it is to win a PVP encounter you initiate in this game.

There’s a bug where sometimes an enemy will be immortal and just stand there without doing anything. Normally when mothman is being worshipped it yeets the gently caress out as soon as any you get near it. So yeah probably the same bug. It’s pretty funny when it happens with super mutants though because for whatever reason they spawn with only their little undies on.

i built a nice little settlement and can usually clear out vendor cap limit a day so caps are kind of less an issue, when in doubt i got a water farm to basically print caps if i need to. t-bill/bullion grind is still annoying though, i'd really appreciate more dailies/quests through the factions (and also the new vault and both faction capitols being fast travel free)

9/10 times legendaries guys will just drop crap anyway. Sometimes people will wait for everyone to hit legendary stuff and sometimes they wont, I wouldn't stress about it. But it people are just instaing the legenadries I just do the same. Pvp in this game was always dumb and stupid.

This happened to me with a level 7 attack dog, but it was still able to move and bite me. I had to run a long way before it stopped chasing, and it was the scariest encounter I've had in this game.

In FO4 NPCs that are fighting one another are immortal until the player gets close enough. Sometimes if you shot one of them from a distance when it's immortal it can maintain the immortality even while fighting you.


They're supposed to deal zero damage when immortal but that's not always the case either.

So is camp budget fucky or something? My camp is relatively compact yet I'm at budget cap. I don't even have much for decorations or anything. I see some people with sprawling camps that are essentially combinations of mansions and fortresses.

I've also had issues with turrets dying, and the "repair all structures" option doesn't repair them but they still eat budget.

Camp budget is fucky. You can build 500 flamingos. Items budget is expressed in terms of flamingo units (FU).

Most things you build cost 1FU. Lights mostly 2FU.
Foundations are 2, crafting stations 2, walls 1, roofs 2.
A painting is 1. A stuffed animal is 1. A bed is 1. A stick on letter is 1. Ten letters spelling a message is 10.

Turrets are 14. So ten turrets is one quarter of the total budget. Defend with care.

As the horrendous diseased wendigo lunged forward, escape for the vault dewler seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.

So there is still a nuke glitch to make them less annoying to run.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Vv7lqerwo

The power armor through the laser field at the start is fixed and you can't do that part, but you can do the door glitch after you do the first part of the silo to get past the laser gates. I would link the other video that just says this but the guy had a really annoying voice. Enjoy a soothing british person voice instead.

Fix the nukes by making it so once you get to the nuke room you just clear out a couple of boss level robots and then launch without bullshit waves.

Kill the vertibirds, figure out the area it will fly over, shoot the 4 hoverjets out, pump bullets into the thing.

Found a good list for how many treasury notes are awarded and and how much things cost.
https://fed76.info/a/wastelanders-unlockables/

Some of the medium difficulty group events are also easily soloable (Lode Baring, Heart of the Swamp, Uranium Fever, Line in the Sand) so those are definitely worth popping over to when they come up.

I got the nukashine power armor paint job bundle on sale and while it looks nice, it makes these odd mechanical sloshing sounds when you're in first person (not 3rd) and can get annoying sometimes, so just a heads up on that.

Lode bariing and uranium fever can give out alot of steel from weapons and moleman items. And there's a high chance they are always glowing so they come along with a free piece of meat each.
Line in the sand almost always pays out full fusion cores. Alot of weapon drops and ammo if you go out and loot everything. If you do it stealthed no sb will spawn. I just sit on the fence and snipe everthing with vats.
Heart of the swamp is meh but sometimes it can have mureluks which are free meat. At the start don't try hit the strangler heart to hard because if you alpha strike it before it spawns anything it bugs the encounter and basically kills events on that server for 30m while it times out.

Swarm of suitors is also another server killing event because I have never been able to complete it.
Guided Meditation might be listed as a hard event but it is kinda bugged and ghouls only spawn to attack the bridge box. You can stand there and just kill ghouls for 5 mins.
Free Range is another easy one to do, keep a crook in your inventory so you can push the brahmin forward.
Distinguished Guests is one I would skip because it is annoying how you have to first find all the robots first before you can pick up the 50 items you need to complete it. If there's people doing it, it might go fast though.
One Violent Night is pretty easy just repair and guard the jukebox. You can pick up one of the musical melee weapons if you want to make it go faster.
Path to Enlightenment another kind of annoying one to do, I would only show up if others are doing it because its boring.
Project Paradise don't even bother if a ton of people arn't showing up, its huge group type of deal.
Scorched Earth obv. always show up to this if people are doing it, you get crafted fluxes and improved repair kits.
Tea Time is another super low level event, easy to do.
Jail Break is super easy, just don't let that suicide mutant fail the event for you.
Campfire Tales is another groupish one but you could solo it. You also can get scout badges from this but they are rare.

I use the following events to burn ammo that doesn't sell just to shoot it off. I.E shotgun shells, fusion cells, fusion cores with a laser gatling.
Campfire Tales
Feed the People
Jail Break
Lode Bearing
Path to Enlightenment
Tea Time
Uranium Fever

I don't know what all these are because the only hard events that I know of that you can't easily solo are the SBQ event, the sheepsquach event, the new radioactive event which has npcs that can steal your dropped weapons, and Project paradise.

That wasn't my fault though, spawns were super glitched out and we had tons of Assaultrons. Did it a few days before and a few days after on my own and I don't think I took any damage even either of those times.

You use the class freak perk card so the negative is greatly reduced so the negative chem effect isn't that bad. It goes down to -12% chem effects. I really only heal with diluted stimpacks myself because I only really play at 30-50 hp due to using the adrenal mutation and bloodied.

Mutations are kinda come with a 5 perk card tax you pay for starched genes and class freak. Both of them are in luck.

Items top out at 45 or 50 depending on item type. Don’t sweat a lvl 45, it’s max in most cases.

If you didn’t finish the wayward questline, there is a god roll sledgehammer as a reward, if you put your token in the two handed melee machine at the end.

If you are looking for something good and functional my recommendation is to visit everyone’s shops. Lots of decent items for sale cheap out there. Mrmmrr has been very kind at times, and a real bitch at others.
