Yeah, I noticed the spookies were a lot more prevalent this morning. I wish the bags they dropped didn't weigh 1 each of whatever the weight unit is, I was wondering why I was so heavy until I noticed they weighed so much.

Launchers or weapons with a Fusion/Plasma Core will only give you random ammo. Switch to something like a Handmade or a Fixer to get in on the sweet .45/5.56 ammo hoarding. Or use a Railway Rifle to convert all those spikes into points at the weird rear end ammo machine.

What matters is the weapon you have equipped when you open the Spooky Bags. Also, 5mm is bugged and won't drop in the Daily OPs, it might be bugged for this event as well. Prime your GG and you should be good, for some reason UC 5mm drops just fine. Sensenmann fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Oct 30, 2021 |

Specifically tying a reward to other player's actions is a terrible design decision successful MMO developers learned to avoid years ago, so Bethesda spiced things up by making the reward also bugged! That's not to say making the player-run side of your seasonal event hinge on an object approximately half the size of a basketball in player houses that often have more clutter than a thrift store's intake isn't worthy of admiration, mind you.

I just finished the Raider main quest and I really enjoyed it, as well as Rose in Top of the World, it engaged me enough that I will probably start another character or two to try some other builds/visit some other content. I got to the Brotherhood questline and my immediate reaction was "lol gently caress these people" but I might give it another try with a different character  Personal favorites were Gail and Ra Ra

Every time I consider starting a new character for whatever reason I'm reminded of just how awful the first couple dozen levels are and immediately ditch that idea again. Playing without Marsupial or Speed Demon? gently caress that noise.

I just really hate picking locks or playing word match poo poo. It's enough of a nuisance to me that it's worth the time saved. I usually drop a nuke a few times a week anyhow. I don't know that we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the legendary perk card, there's no buff to it besides just smash button open box/door/computer. I spent my perk coins on maxing it out so I could stop using the regular picklock and hacker cards.

No, but there's a small amount of zooming around in melee VATS, I'd say about half to one-third of the rank 1 Blitz perk. It might be tied to the servers, because sometimes I can fly a fair distance, but sometimes I get 0% when I'm all up in a scorcheds face.

re: walking around slowly punching things, once I got into Cannibal 3/Lead Belly 3 the game got super easy. Having things tilted towards XP (15 int, rank 3 of the XP perk) has really made things go pretty fast, plus the playstyle is very fast anyway - don't bother with stealth, just run around punching faces and sometimes gobbling up yummy corpses. F76 Cannibal is super OP compared to FO4. I started the character out wanting to get into power armor/heavy weapons but the equipment and skills for that poo poo unlock way too late so I just keep zipping around breaking faces, in a while I'll have the points required to just create a new build in one shot. It works but it feels very meta and I don't like it, I'd have preferred to grow into the gameplay from early on rather than this. I only need a gun for wall mounted turrets and just don't bother with scorchbeasts at all. huge plus, you don't really need special gear at all, just a mole miner claw or power fist or deathclaw gauntlet or whatever, and some random armor I guess

I genuinely miss the days when you could stack damage so high that a single hit from my Bloodied Power Fist could end the Queen. Melee used to be so OP that Legacy users cried during Scorched Earth because the damned dirty Melee builds stole their thunder. It was glorious. Extremely silly and OP but glorious.  Melee suffered, by far, the most from the One Wasteland nerf. It's still fun to run around punching poo poo into a red paste but it's no longer an actual viable option for the boss fights. Having said that, it's refreshing to see someone not going down the meta road and discovering the ups and downs of the various builds themselves.

Flesh Forge posted:have never been a fan of following anybody else's build guides, aside from the fact that almost all of them are complete gibberish anyway. It's just so clearly OP, and has gone so long without being balanced, that it's something that most of the game's remaining player base takes for granted as mandatory (similar to mutations like Speed Demon & Marsupial). Obviously there's no obligation to use any specific build, but I would definitely encourage trying it out if you have access to the appropriate armor. It's such a night & day difference compared to anything else.

The main problem with most build guides is that they are min/maxed down to armor and mutations. The right mutations for, let's say a Melee build, are most certainly the wrong ones for a Ballistic/Energy weapon user. The armor suggestion, for a Melee build, will most certainly be Unyielding Sentinel with +1 Strength or Overeaters Sentinel with +1 Strength. On top of that, it has to be Thorn Armor (Unyielding) or Solar Armor (Overeaters). Someone did the math and, statistically speaking, it will take way over a year to roll a complete set. Needless to say, a min/max build doesn't have any QoL perks so, in case of Melee, you better play this on a character without any ammo on them because there is no room for Bandolier and/or Batteries Included. Min/maxing in FO76 is silly, especially since One Wasteland dropped. As long as you have Tenderizer and Adrenaline, not necessarily max rank for the latter, you'll do just fine with just about any build.

As for XP gain: That's a good point but it depends entirely on your level. At the level Flesh Forge is, it's good to level up fast to get more perk cards and coins. At my level, I'm guessing roughly 1200 levels above theirs, such a thing as fast levelling up does simply not exist.

Discospawn posted:The Fallout 76 meta has been pretty consistent since the game's launch, because builds based on Unyielding armor are so clearly superior to everything else that there's really no comparison. With regards to maximizing XP gains, that build has a permanent +15 to all stats at all times, providing +30% XP from the extra INT before considering consumables, perk cards, or public teams. I can see the math, sure, but maybe you've forgotten what a massive time commitment it is to grind all that poo poo out for a new player, everything is throttled. 1 day of scrip = 1 equipment roll. Sensenmann posted:The main problem with most build guides is that they are min/maxed down to armor and mutations. yeah these are meaningless and unhelpful to a player who doesn't have gigantic piles of currency already. they're not even guides, they're just a shopping list.

New ITV https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/3vVlHVYdidZRWpy1IZi3gl/fallout-76-inside-the-vault-fallout-1st-limited-preview-and-weekend For those wondering, after the 1st trial is over you can't put stuff into the scrap box any longer but you can still access it and take stuff out of it. Fill it with as much scrap as you can find. Drop caps on Vendor bots to buy bulk junk. Ask a friend with 1st for a "donation". Note that Stable Flux can be put into the scrapbox so this might be the perfect opportunity to stock up on it. Rest of the ITV is the usual hype about Double Mutations weekends for Daily OPs.
