So, I see there's a big sale on Fallout 76. I played it awhile back with the Games for Windows subscription and actually kind of liked it, so I was thinking about picking it up on Steam (I know I'd have to restart which is fine). What's the Pitt DLC thing getting me? Is it the actual content like other Fallout games DLC, or is it just a bundle of premium stuff like paint and the fusion core recharger that I don't really care about? Also any general comments on the current state of the game/warnings to flee while I still can are welcome.

The Pitt DLC was fun for about a month and then it died and I don't think anyone does it anymore. F076 is fun but I played it to death. The endgame has gotten any more interesting or developed.

PITT steam dlc is just useless cosmetics. You can buy the core charger thing very easily with the premium currency you get from doing challenges and stuff as you play. Playing through the quests is fine for :tenbux: but the endgame content is very lacking.

You can buy the core charger thing very easily with the premium currency you get from doing challenges and stuff as you play. 99% of the current endgame is grinding to get SCORE that you use to get cosmetics, farming gear to upgrade your crap, or aimlessly dicking around because you're unemployed and bored. The endgame content basically doesn't exist once you're happy with your gear and look. Since they removed legacy weapons, there really isn't anything super magical to grind towards. A completely perfect roll on a gun might take you a month of grinding trash up and gambling on a lucky roll. The double edged sword of excellent gear is that the fighting goes from 'kinda fun' to 'a joke wherein I alternate pressing Q and left mouse button until everything is dead'. Edit: All that said, the level 0-75 grind that includes all the story content is pretty great. It's just when you're level 700 the shine's all worn off on it, and what's left isn't super compelling.

any game you get more than a hundred hours of entertainment out of, and come away from it with any fondness at all, is a pretty good return on investment

So yeah, I'll play it for the missions and maybe have some fun MMO-grinding out of it as my mood suits. I played it a few years ago and ran through the basic campaign, all the way through infiltrating the nuke silo and taking out the SBQ, and have reasonably fond memories of that. So when I saw it on sale I figured I was up for trying it again and maybe doing the new stuff too.

don't be shy about showing up for the public events, you can only benefit from them - especially the shooting gallery style ones are a lot of fun and net you gobs of xp and trash loot.

Never not go to public events, they're free loot, free exp, and you can get some event-specific loot that can be pretty solid gear for players starting out, or that don't already have all the goodies they want. Also it's not like dying really costs you anything at all, gear repairs are basically free once you get white knight.

Hint: if you want people to come to your camp for Halloween candy, make sure your camp icon is publicly visible on the map. Ask me how I know this.

Maybe the ammo machine thing, that seems like it would also help with storage space given my tendencies in fallout games to grab everything not nailed down.

The Atom shop rotates pretty frequently so the good stuff won't always be there, creating FOMO. The 'Core Recharger' is like 700 atoms, and can recharge fusion cores - if you're in Power Armor mostly, I've heard that it's an okay grab. The CAMP items that add resources are also good to get. I use the ones for Canned Coffee, Adhesive and Wood, but there's also ones that generate Acid, Mothman eggs, all sorts of stuff. Some Atom-shop CAMP items can be considered 'build defining' pieces that allow for manipulating CAMP walls/floors in unique ways. The Vault and Alien catwalk pieces are a great example, allowing you to place stairs/floors in places you otherwise cannot. At the bottom of the shop window are various machines/followers you can buy for Gold Bullion, like Collectrons, or the Weight Bench / Exercise bike, etc. These are unlockable per-character for bullion (completing events) but if you'd like all your characters to have them from level 1, the Atom-shop ones allow this. Mostly I just buy stuff that'd look good in CAMPs I'll never build. Maybe some day... EDIT: If you're into making CAMPs and still feel that turrets are useful for your location, buy the Enclave Turrets (either color version) because they are extremely OP and basically pay-to-win.

Posted in the Modding thread but figured I'd ask here too; any suggestions for a mod that tweaks how saving works in Survival Mode in FO4? I get wanting to prevent Save Scumming, and I like everything about the mode, except for the fact that I can spend however long walking somewhere, die because something caught me off guard and then have to walk my rear end all the way back. Or needing to go find somewhere to save when I want to stop playing. It's dumb that I'm doing the first "Go clear out the Corvega Plant" and I'm just standing on the bridge across from the plant sniping dudes with my making GBS threads Rifle and then repeatedly using a random sleeping bag up on that bridge each time the Aggro-Meter drops.

Best I know of is a mod that adds the ability to set up a camp, so you can create a bed closer to where you wanna be. By the way, if you quit the game it creates a temp save so you don't need to find a bed when you want to stop playing. The save is deleted when you load back in, after that you'll go back to the last bed you saved at.

The Survival Options mod lets you just save normally, along with a bunch of other poo poo (i.e. I also disable the Adrenalin damage bonus because that's only there to discourage saving normally)

Welp I went to Atlantic City, and talked to Billy Beltbuckles, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do. I pick up some inconspicuous bags, and there's a marker on a nearby truck, but I can't do anything with it.

If I get the Steam version of 76, will I be able to access my Game Pass character? Also, does anyone know whether it’s family shareable?

On what MS platform did you play exactly? Apparently if it's console or xcloud streaming whatever that is, no. From an installed PC version, maybe but you'll lose your Atoms and maybe other stuff it's not all too clear

Always be on a Casual team and make sure to hit all the big events. Usually at least one or two people will open Lunchboxes, they give you a bump to XP gain for an hour and up to 4 of them stack. And don't worry about dying or not being able to pull your weight in some of the events, it doesn't matter and no one really cares. Shoot the mobs, hide behind a big dude, whatever floats your boat. As the levels come in, so does your damage output.  Also, join us on the Discord, we'll help you getting started.

Last patch gave you the ability to make your new character level 20 straight out of the vault and start doing the Wastelanders/Brotherhood quests for some easy exp ASAP, while doing events on the side.

According to my app, 40% of players on Xbox haven’t got the “ reclamation day,”leaving the vault achievement - did 4 in 10 people start the game and really go “nah this isn’t for me” and quit?
