Mayor for a Day (in Watoga, cranberry bog) also gives a legendary hammer. 2star supersledge with weight reduction and a tad boost to health. Also comes with the heavy rocket mod attached. The wayward sledgehammer has a swing speed modifier and iirc bloodied. So if nothing else nab them both and see whether you want to do a bloodied or non-bloodied (full hp) build.

I'm using it now but hoping I can ultimately do better. I'm thinking about using my scrip to try and piece together a 2 star set of armor as a power armor alternative? It seems like using all my scrip hoping for sledges or super sledges might be real frustrating.

Yeah, I like getting a decent 2 star armor set as one of my first scrip sinks. The rng for weapons is really lovely since there are soooo many possible rolls when all melee weapons are included, and alot of them are in no way viable. Seems like at least with armor there are more options that can be viable as long as it’s max level. Really I wish they would add more legendary craft recipes in general to reduce the rng. Like just have the molelady sells components and maybe even recipes and then rng just comes into play for the stats (like with the new bullion gear). At least that way you can kind of plan better what to expect.

The best way to get the legendary armor you want would be to just server hop around and look at player shops. Prices have gone up since wastelanders came out. I still sell 1 star unyielding armor myself for 500 caps but it quickly goes and you could expect to pay alittle over 1k caps per piece now. Sadly 3 star legendaries are the best melee weapons with bloody/junkie and then 25% faster attacks and +1 str. If you are just trying for a bloody i would say either buy 1 stars from the purvoyer or serverhop shop. 2 star legendaries are the best guns get with either bloody/junkies + explosive if its not an energy weapon and then bloody/junkies + 25 faster fire rate if it is an energy weapon. The new plan weapons you buy with bullion are really the best way to get a weapon you want if you can because you can just craft that weapon.

So the only ways I know of to farm faction rep are: - Each faction's daily side mission (and donate and get lesser reward for more rep) - Sell pictures to the other faction in Davenport's mission - Trading mirelurk meat to the raiders - Server hop and farm random encounter areas, where it takes like 15 encounters for each faction to equal a daily (if you even get one or any faction instead of monsters), which is not tedious at all Are there other things I don't know about?

I'm now level 37 and not sweating it, found a nice 3-star robot armor leg that gives me +1 luck, +DR when I'm at full health and another effect I can't remember now, wearing a hodgepodge of various armor pieces I found and for weapons I'm still sporting a lvl20 instigating hunting rifle as my main weapon and a lvl30 heavily modded combat rifle, I didn't even bother leveling the rifleman perks yet, I have both the available ones but at 1 star. I also got the 2 commando perks available at my level but still haven't bothered much with automatics because a) I can't find handmades or assault rifles to scrap and get mods, b) 5.56 ammo is disgustingly rare and I just now unlocked the ammosmith perk which should allow me to make some more; even with semi-auto weapons that use common ammo I'm always starving for it .... well not really, I have like 250 .308 rounds and 600 .45 rounds, but that's with semiautos and crafting ammo every time I get back to CAMP. I kinda want to try putting an auto receiver on the combat rifle though, I just recently unlocked a powerful automatic receiver which only reduces damage from 47 to 43 but doubles fire rate, that should be fun if I can craft/find/buy a lot of .45 cal rounds. Still somehow managing to have fun with the game! E; also I made a recon scope for my hunting rifle but besides being in b&w (which is kinda cool), it doesn't do anything; never marked an enemy by itself, should I be pushing some button or something?

Roman posted:Are there other things I don't know about? When you get the Retirement Plan raider daily if you convince the former raider to join foundation (8 charisma, so may need to pop grape mentats) then you get settler rep. I think it’s comparable to a daily or to the mirelurk thing.

It should put a little diamond over their head after you keep the scope sighted on them for a sec or two. Should also see the diamond on the compass bar. It should be the same symbol as when there is a quest objective on a person.

Having played both factions to the penultimate quest and rolled the vault with the Raiders, i feel like the game is a solid 4/10. It feels more like a proof of concept for an actual game, which is better than the DNF that launch was. The new NPCs cosplaying as the dead factions (Responders, military, ect) feel pathetic and highlight how badly the game needed a hard reboot. There's no satisfying bosses or endgame beyond Atom grind, either. I have some questions regarding both factions and 79's conclusion: *With the Settlers, is there any way to confront Hornwright for all of the awful prr-war poo poo she's responsible for (namely being responsible for turning the Ash Heap into the hellhole it currently is?) Does the Chinese ghoul have anything beyond the canned barks once she moves into Foundation, despite promising to elaborate about the Chinese enforcement group that hasn't dropped its flags yet? Regarding the Raiders raiding 79: is there any fate for Johnny other than getting shot up?There seemed to be context for Meg slapping a compliance collar on him and keeping him as a personal boytoy. His corpse didn't even gib after eating three turrets worth of laser, which was disappointing. Regarding the raid conclusion: was there no way to donate a portion of *your* cut to the faction left out? I was only given the option of 50/50, take it all for yourself, or leave 250 B for each faction. I suspect I already know the answers to these, since half-assing is Bethesda's M.O. for the Fallout franchise. Surprises would be appreciated, though.

The big exception is floor and wall styles like tiling, wallpaper, etc. For those you do have to spend atoms or your floors and walls will never be anything but faded wood. Sometimes they're on sale for as much as 90% off though. IMO if you like base building then floor and wall styles should be your priority purchase with the free atoms you earn and then you will be set. Besides walls and floors the only cash shop item I care about is the greenhouse dome. If you haven't been to Whitesprings resort you should go there and visit the shops in the basement. There's a huge amount of nice plans available for caps there. Players also frequently sell plans for caps on their vending machines cheaply too since you can't sell plans to NPCs.

My wife and I are on the fence on getting fallout 76 with a 1st subscription so we can play together. Some family and friends might hop on from time to time, but its mostly just for us. Both of us love FO4 and play it all the time, but wish we could just hop in together. Provided money is no issue, what would the experience be like for just 2 players in that huge world. Would there be anything glaringly missing? We know it won't be as "lived in" as fallout 4, but we'll just accept that as the cost of playing together. I'm asking here bc its hard to get a straight answer elsewhere. Mostly people arguing whether 1st should he a paid service or not. Or the ten thousandth "76 sucks" review video.

I've put in a LOT of time since Wastelanders, mostly solo except for events with randos. It's very very rare that anyone PVPs or tries to mess with you. With the human NPCs it's pretty much a regular Fallout game if you want it to be. With 2 people working together and building bases and all that you should enjoy yourselves. As for 1st, I would just get one month for now and see if it's anything you would want to keep playing past a month. Scrapbox and the tent/fast travel point is really helpful.

Like the other posters mentioned above, private servers are a lot more stable and some of the endgame events will be impossible (without God tier builds), but overall the game doesn't really change that much. I rarely interact with players unless I'm specifically visiting their CAMP for poo poo to buy. Also, just FYI, private servers only exist for as long as you are on them and for 15 minutes after you leave. They aren't like a Conan Exiles or ARK server, where things continue to persist. Lastly, only one of you would need to have FO1st -- you can invite players without FO1st into your private world and they can play with you there. btw if you're gonna play with people you know a lot, you can make cool little cities by setting up your CAMPs close together. its kinda neato and playing house and pretty prince dressup takes up the majority of my time now TheAgent fucked around with this message at 20:47 on May 13, 2020 |

In the last month I've played almost every day, and I literally never interacted with anyone beyond using the "hello" emote (after 30 seconds of awkward fiddling with the stupid emote menu) I go to events, people don't even acknowledge you usually, you all just shoot monsters and get rewarded if you don't fail. I have pacifist mode on but no one even tried to shoot me, ever. It's been ... quiet. I actually wish sometimes people would try and interact a bit more, which feels strange to me because I just wanted Fallout 5 really also Fallout 1st is terribly expensive for a thing that gates content that should really be there for free in the first place but that's just my opinion

My wife and I have played together for a while and we both got over level 100. You absolutely don't need 1st, we played on public servers. We never joined with any random people, and occasionally did the public events with other people without any problems. People can't PvP you without you fighting back first, so you can just ignore any dickhead shooting at you as they can't kill you until you shoot back, so it's just amusing when people try. The only time they can is when you claim or defend a workshop, so just check your map if any high levels if you're worried about it (I was only killed twice by that).

Nice thats all good to know. We're not scared of pvp or anything, we just didn't want a bunch of players bunny hopping all over the place when we're trying to chill. I guess 24 players per world just seems like it would be crowded. Sounds like we don't need to have 1st for a relatively peaceful experience, though! I'm neutral on them charging for 1st. If they wanted to go the ESO route and monetize via subscription and cash shop, they should have just went whole hog and made a Fallout mmo. But at the end of the day, 1st doesn't cost much and only one person needs to have it.

It's pretty much make your own fun after that. Want to grind lvls that don't matter? Want to grind for better weapons that don't really matter? Shoot some nukes and wander around? I would just take the daily vendor cap limit, daily gold bullion limit, and daily scrip limit, and when those are done fo76 is pretty much done for the day.

Endgame is finishing the quests, exploring the places you want, have fun shooting mobs (or other players) and doing events... and that might be it? I'm not there yet but I mean, in a normal offline RPG you just finish the story, explore the map, and once you're bored that's it. Maybe restart and make different choices during quests? I don't know why people expect an online game, especially one with no subscription fee, to automatically provide endless entertainment; I've already played something like 40 hours and I'm lvl 37, I think I have another 20-30 hours in front of me before even getting to the "end" and having my build with all the perks I want (nevermind that I only explored like 1/5th of the map yet, there's plenty of places I haven't been even in the forest) and by then I'll have got my money's worth twice over. Then I could start another character, or abandon the game and go play something else, it's just the nature of things  Don't get me wrong, I'd be glad if they made the game more enjoyable at high levels, but I find it super weird that no one expects most offline games to provide literal infinite hours of enjoyment, but somehow online games are expected to do just that and possibly for free. Fallout 76 might have been a bad game at release, right now it's an OK game that you can find for 20€ or so and at that price it's definitely worth it if you like Bethesda games, but it's still an RPG at its core, not a balanced competitive shooter and definitely not an MMO.
