I saw one dude with a protest sign, it would be really hilarious with a dozen or so, gonna start doing this.

Finally got a shot in on the sloth, I'm 1 for 6.

Some dude yelled at some other dude about having a hacked machine gun and how he now had visual proof and hope he liked being banned soon. Not sure what that was all about.

Does damaging someone after they damage you disable pacifist mode and enable PvP?

Or is it permanently disabled nowadays and only exists in Nuclear Winter?

best is when people put down ten or so power armor sets on the bridge and blocks all the robots from continuing and they just do that until the event ends

they did this during the protest and poo poo turned into a huge firefight.


meanwhile, fasnacht does something to jetpacks. You can get some serious altitude with them during the event:

Enemies should drop loot if you're "in combat" and within a certain distance regardless if you tag them or not.

Teaming up with people is a way to try and help with the current system, since if a teammate tags them you still get a loot drop.

That explains why I don't get anything when I shoot an enemy once, then go invisible while waiting for the level 200s to take care of it.

At what point should I stop wearing Chinese Stealth Armor, and load up on Unyielding pieces? Being invisible makes me practically unkillable, except when robots explode near me.

Yea the stash doesn't get weight reduction perks. Go through your junk tab and throw away like almost all your bone shards, glass, cork, and other less used junk items. Always keep gunpowder on your character, if you have way too much either make some bullets or throw it away.

for real though why do you keep saying not to sell bulked junk

If you want to try out the legendary perk system, it’s up on the PTS. And PTS is now open to anyone who owns 76 through the launcher.

I bulk and sell stuff all the time. Its the only way i can keep my inventory manageable. It rather hang on to low weight legendaries for scrip. Its not like i need it for repairs. They hand out the repair kits like candy and those also weigh a bit too.

So watch out if you have a NPC who you can't kill in Helvetica before starting the parade. My group just had an event ruined by a level 1 settler. Somehow he became hostile to the bots and there was no way to stop them from fighting. We managed to slightly push the bots out of that restaurant, but eventually the settler came out the back and we had to get between the bridge and the back corner to keep them separated. The MoC finished his loop and the event was won, but we lost two bots in the process.

It’s a separate download on the bethesda launcher. You add the PTS like another game.

that's not a reason other people shouldn't. the weight of the extra plastic kept around so you can bulk junk is basically negligible when compared to the extra caps you can get making a robot deal with your trash

I realized I've been earning atoms since I started playing and I bought the log cabin set. Looks cool. Gonna build a little summer camp kind of thing or something. I'm thinking like a cabin or two with the communal fire pit. Just simple stuff. The rustic water wheel kinda sucks though. It doesn't spin, it just spurts water from random places.

You can get a decent amount of them from doing the challenges also, most of which you will do without even knowing about them. Then they have a gently caress ton that almost noone will ever do like play this game for 7600 hours and it only counts if you logged into the game in a world where there is a afk disconnect timer. The jury is still out if the seasons are a huge nerf to the atom gain.


People on the pts found out how long it will take to get all 6 perk cards you decide to use max level. You only have to reach a level of Two Thousand Nine Hundred(ohshit forgot this number) and Seventy. So good luck everyone I know you can reach that number.

I thought every time you hit 50 levels with any character you get a legendary perk card that can be applied to any character.

What level and number of stars is that lever? 2 shot is very good for rifleman builds.

Lever plans are 2k and can be bought in the ash heap I believe. Then you have to build and breakdown. They are fairly rare in the wild.

Both play styles are good and it is up to what you like.

I stuck to shotguns because any kind of concentrated grind to make endless lever actions to scrap would just bore me. I'm always finding different shotguns to break down and I have the plans for the combat, pump, and double barrel. Since shotgun perks are tied to strength (minus Enforcer), I can easily pivot into melee, since melee weapons are everywhere.

Keep the lever. It is good to have a backup not main weapon for trash mobs and that is a good roll and gun.

I was doing the taxidermy sheepsquatch quest and I think I broke something in the basement. I get no prompt when I go to the washer/dryer to try and access the secret robot room. No options to set temp or wash mode. Has anyone seen that before? Maybe I missed something, but I only realized I had missed the secret door AFTER I did everything in the building so I don't think I skipped a stage/step.

And I'm enjoying fasnacht far more than I should. It's just a stupid parade with the same 3 enemies attacking without any real consequences, but I never really play with other people so it's neat. I do wish they'd make it a bit more challenging though. Maybe 2 megasloths at the same time...

The quest is now outside the city, so it's no longer involving that area. I doubt I'm missing that much, I just couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

It's interrupting my fasnacht time anyway. I'm not farming water resources like I used to, so I was suffering from dehydration because there's no water in Helvetia, just sausage. Marching around, slowly turning into a dried out husk, collecting all the mini-nukes I can even though I have no use for them.

Yeah I just hit 42 and that level 20 lever is still my go-to backup. It's mostly for feeling like a badass while I one-shot level 25 scorched and ghouls. Got into a rumble with a level 50 legendary 3 star savage deathclaw and it sure helped out after the shotgun broke.

Edit: This game is great. I did a quest where I had to dress up as a clown and kill a wendigo. That's hilarious if you don't consider how wendigos traditionally come into being.

Regarding the sheepsquatch quest. Understand that the very last step of that quest requires roughly 10 billion people to show up (they will). I thought I could duo it with a friend.
