I actually love the PA skin you unlock at 100.



Hell yeah, I'm not a fan of the other rewards but the PA skin is what keeps me going.

Is the head hologram a normal head part skin for mixing/matching with other armors?

I would assume so but I can't test since the game has, once again, login issues.

quote:

Caps: The max cap limit has been increased from 30,000 to 40,000.

Scrip: The daily vendor cap has been increased from 150 to 300. Additionally, the max player cap for Scrip has been increased from 1,000 to 5,000.

A good change.

Additionally, the legendary cores have been changed from item to currency. This means they weigh nothing and are, in theory, impossible to dupe.

What's generally considered the top-end power armour type? I'm guessing either Ultracite or T-65?

T-65 offers the best protection overall, Strangler Heart offers the best rad resistance.

Strangler Heart is a Ultracite variant and is, for most PA players, the real endgame armor because some of the mandatory Ultracite plans are so rare you can kill thousands of queens and scorchbeasts and not get them to drop.

For reference, I've killed a couple thousand queens and way more normal scorchbeasts and I got the Calibrated Shocks plan twice. One of that was from a player vending machine for 25K. Still looking for the Targetting HUD.

So if you want to go Strangler Heart, or Ultracite in general, know that it might take A LOT longer compared to the already dumb gold grind for T-65.

Man that gatling SFX sound bug is awful when you run into it, I just jumped into a SBQ fight to try out a two-star Ultracite Gatling with 2-shot and +10%DMG aiming, and BBBRRBBBRRBBRR throughout the whole battle. I don't know if I was adding to it as I don't think you hear your own bug noise, but yeah, awful. It even persisted after the fight was done, you could walk back and forward through the point on the map where it was still emitting from, and even fast travelling back to Watoga station you could hear it off in the distance BBBRRBBBRRBBRR

I hope it's fixed asap.

That bug has been around a few weeks and it doesn't go away until you fast travel, iirc. Far as I know, you're hearing everyone elses gatlins, shouldn't be able to hear yours for some reason.

I usually put my tv on low volume and just listen to music while I play.

The new weapon you can get during Meat Week looks rad as gently caress.

The Pepper Shaker. A single (can be modded to double or even hex) barrel auto heavy shotgun that benefits from both heavy weapon and shotgun perks.

Hot drat, that thing looks rad as gently caress. I've bern looking for a Quad Combat Shotgun for a while but that takes the cake. I don't do Meat Week whenever it crops up but it looks like it's in my future. Any idea when it's happening this year? It's not on the community calendars for whatever reasom.

It's active on the PTS so I'm assuming some time after the next patch drops in July or so.

So I server surfed the other day and found a bunch of fixers for sale. Spend the most on a bloody fixer and then I found another camp selling the same thing but for 1/10th the price, so I bought that one also. Then I found a quad fixer randomly on a camp for like 1k caps and that is hands down the one I prefer to use the most of all.

It's crazy how strong quad is from having to reload so much less.

My Fixers sit unused because the 3 star explosive combat rifle I have is better than any of my Fixers. Really want that quad ammo mod on it. Explosive damage with 5 star Demolition Expert on that gun isn't insignificant, though, just annoying to reload so often.

Yep, I did the entire season with a Q2515 Fixer and that thing just rocks. I have several Fixers but Quad is just bloody amazing on a stealth commando build.

It's a really great weapon but keep in mind that all those runs are done solo because stealth is less effective in groups.

I read if you stand close to the edge and drop another item in another bag the stuff from the rift bag will also be available in the new bag. No biggie for me, it was a bunch of SBQ bones and wing fragments, but I'd (sensibly) dropped my junk load at the Watoga station before battle.

Didn't know today was patch day, but the notes say the repeating gatling sfx should be fixed among other bits and bobs.

Found a one star Mole Treasure Hunter by the Slyvie and Son's camp...poor guy was either late to the event or found the best hiding spot. They're not supposed to spawn at all outside of their event, right?

I ran into* a non-legendary treasure hunter moleman just now, I thought they were all at least one-start ledges.


*shot to death


I also got a string of absolute bullshit rolls at the legendary shop, five items to go straight back into the recycler, and after that scouring my stash I had exactly 75 tickets; last roll I got a Vampire / +%33VATS / +DR when Aiming Handmade. I've been junking all the Handmades I find to get my mod list up and I have almost everything unlocked bar the suppressor, so I built it up powerful automatic / long barrel etc. Holy hell this thing wrecks things a lot faster than my old faithful Combat Rifle, I can only imagine what a two-shot would be like.

If you haven't touched them yet, there's still two DLCs that are pretty fun, if you're worried about the game being over too soon, and each faction has a sizeable amount of post game content to keep you occupied until you decide to end your characters story. The last story DLC also has a faction you can join back in the Commonwealth that you, sadly, can't beat the main questline with, but still has a good amount of goals for you to achieve.

Fallout 4 is also pretty replayable thanks to the legendary system, how they augment builds, and the ways you can take care of - or work with - each faction. It's absolutely worth playing through again if you're into it, and that's not including bringing mods into it if you're on PC or XB.

Honestly, I do understand why 4 didn't mesh well with a lot of people (though honestly I don't think the Fallout turbonerds will ever be happy) but I really enjoy it and I'm glad to see someone having a good time. :buddy:
