It would be in the shop under CAMP items -> Utility. It comes and goes in the atom shop. It is probably one of the better camp items to get if you are into power armor and/or heavy energy weapons. I can't tell when it is for sale because I already own it and the atom shop is weird.

Ok, I thought the small backpack could be increased by level, ie. 20, 30, etc. I'm over 50 and not in the game right now but I thought it was still level 20.

I got the re-charger earlier today and noticed it's really, really slow.

Going to max out my Settler rep and see if I can adjust my stealthy melee into a more tanky build. If not, then I'll start over to work on Raider rep. I'm "only" level 112 so if I do some West Tek and Event grinding I can get most of the way back there over the weekend.

Power armor gives a large bonus to melee power attacks so consider that

Yes you should craft a level 50 small backpack, it doesn't upgrade automatically. You start out with one that is the level your character was created at (e.g. you started at level 20, vs level 1).

Hmm, ok. I couldn't find where to actually craft it - must be there somewhere and I'm missing it.

It’s pretty slow but it can recharge 4 at a time while you are off doing whatever. I use power armor constantly and end up selling a lot of fusion cores. There is also an INT perk which makes power armor use less power if you are low on cores.

Are there damage thresholds for all events that are tied to rewards? Google turns up that SBQ has one but do other events also have thresholds?

I’ve been doing the alien invader one and I’m just running around tagging what I can but not sure if I need to be focused on doing more damage.

The Legendary Perk, Electric Absorption, is what every PA user should have or, at the very least, focus on maxing out asap.

Not only do energy based hits on you recharge the core that's currently in your PA, they also heal you. It's basically god mode in all events with a bunch of laser mobs.

The current big hourly event is a walk in the park with it. You can literally idle between all those aliens and not die.

Not that I know of. The other 2 big bosses, Earle and the Ultracite Abomination, might have one as well but I don't think so since I get rewards even if I spawn in the moment the boss dies.

Normal event bosses just need to be shot once or twice for the game to register the tag and allow the looting.
If you are on a team it's often enough to just be within line of sight of the boss to get dips on whatever they carry on them but keep in mind that the large events are often a strain on the servers so make sure you get a couple of shots in, just to be safe.

It's on the armor bench. Note that if/when you get a backpack mod with gold bullion you will need to craft it onto your equipped pack here too.

That is correct. You can take out but not put anything in until you resub.

I think I’m done with 76. It’s fun to walk around and explore the world but the enemies just take too much damage, and I’m constantly out of resources. Combat takes way way way way too long.

E: A mission called Cheating Death threw 4 radscorpions at me in a cave. 350 rounds of 5.56 and 5 stimpacks later they’re dead and the NPC that needs to clear the way to the next area despawned. I’m done here.

Get a good gun and stack perks that give it +damage and you shouldn't have any issues with monsters outside of Events. What level are you?

63. But tbh the game isn’t letting me play how I want to, and it’s steadily gotten less fun as I level up. I’ll probably roll another character in New Vegas instead.

Yeah, I've crafted some "good enough" armor to wear while I work on getting my Ultracite power armor decked out. Ditched the stealth armor for now and went with Secret Service underarmor. Crafted up some Combat armor pieces with decent mods and random 1-star perks.

Switched my perks to gunner and use my Final Word and Cold Shoulder to tag stuff in Events. Anything under 100 goes down pretty easily, too.

I'm ultimately aiming to copy Mr. West Tek's Auto Axe build but having fun messing around while I get all the parts together. Also building up my bullion to buy all the Secret Service plans. Want that jetpack.

Played through 4 public events, did a Daily Op and some Daily Quests so far with the new makeshift setup and having fun. Biggest thing I need to work on now is mutations.

Man the disintegrator/weapon plans are stupid rare from that event and refuse to drop for me. I have all the parts unlocked but the weapons themselves refuse to drop :negative:.

You should have gotten one right at the start, the basic backpack which gets better every 10 levels or so.
It's under accessories or something similar in the crafting window.

They moved the backpack plans to the Overseer's Camp by The Wayward, inside the Overseer's cache.



Once learned, craft the Small Backpack from the Armor workbench -> Crafting -> Backpack

You'll want to craft higher level ones every 10 levels, up to 50.

Yeah I've gotten like 3 duplicates... of the receivers. Which the wiki says rare plans get filtered out of the drop table once you learn them but lol nope.

You know you can put those SPECIAL respec things in your camps right? Real cheap, too.
Switching from combat to craft/vendor to home improvement and back to combat becomes second nature.

Bonus tip: make a copy of your commando spec, but squeeze in rank 3 of the 'cripple limbs with rifles' card.
I know it looks like weak poo poo and messes up your stuff, but it's really important for boss fights like the queen that *someone* take care of the wings (it's probably gonna be you)
