Raider collectron is in the shop now. It's my second favorite one next to the communist collectron. Oh looks like they are in a bundle together too for 50% off.

Both of them are pretty funny and I like having them around my camp. Just FYI you can set your collectron to 'collect' anything you've unlocked and keep whichever one you like the best active (so you can have your raider collectron collecting nuka colas or whatever).

Can you have multiple collectrons?

Since Bethesda are adding a hyper OP Bloodied Railway gun in the upcoming content expansion I decided to try to play a low health build. Trying it with pistol (pistol really kind of needs it tbh) and I guess it's OK. Bear traps and other corny poo poo kills me
e: doing this so far

Yeah there's the Penn and whatever the other place is called that have NPCs, but you can't choose to go there and just walk around like with the AC places. If you're on a Pitt map, you're doing an expedition.

You can have one at each workshop, so if you take over every workshop on the map you can have a whole buttload of collectrons

Sadly they all disappear when you leave the server.

If I wanted to try for some unyielding gear, what would be the best bang for my buck? I’m still working on unlocking secret service.

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

So, I did a restart with the Gunslinger Commando build and haven't really kept my klepto tendencies in check. Is 20 fully charged fusion cores and 2 suits of power armor too much? I did pick up the fusion charger doohickie and, after hooking it up to power, it's topped everything off.

Two power armor frames isn’t nearly enough tbh - the game shits so many legendary power armor chunks at you that all weigh 15+ unless you stick em on a frame, which always weighs a flat 10. Then just pop it out and rip all the bits off when you’re ready to melt some more scrip.

20 fusion cores is probably excessive unless you’re running a Gatling laser or something though.

I have been all set to switch to a bloodied build for a long time now. I have an unyielding SS armor piece for every spot and a quad railway gun (not a god roll on one of the stars). I just never bother because loading up my union armor and killing everything with a holy fire flamer and cremator is just too fun.

My opinion, on the best bang for your buck:

You'd only be wasting your modules trying to roll, say Heavy Combat Armor pieces. Sure it'd be tradeable, but Secret Service is top notch. You craft Secret Service armor pieces using 1 legendary module, which spits out a piece with a random legendary roll, 1-3 stars. I reroll'd any 1 star non-Unyielding pieces once, and turned everything else non-Unyielding into scrip. (Unless it was a troll piece with Rad Regen, of which I rolled way too many.)

This way you're getting some return on your crafting (scrip = more modules = more crafting) rather than rerolling the same piece of armor time after time spending modules and getting nothing extra in return.

Be mindful of the daily scrip limit - it's very easy to find yourself with 40 bad rolls, no stash space, and 0 scrip left until tomorrow.

You don't even need especially great rolls! Just 4-5 pieces of even 1* Unyielding SS armor are all you need - any other stars beyond UNY are just icing on the cake. Don't worry about needing to roll the absolute perfect set right from the get go.

To add a personal experience of mine, and this is extremely contentious among FO76 vets and statisticians:

I'm pretty sure legendary rolls are based on a server seed.

While rolling you'll notice trends and hotstreaks, while rarely seeing some other effects. If you're saving up a lot of modules to roll a bunch of armor at once, I don't recommend spending everything in a single server if you're not seeing any Unyielding rolls after ~10-15 crafts. If you go to an event and get an Unyielding piece, definitely try rolling a few times on that server!

I have no proof to back this up except for personal experience. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt. On my second character's set, I spent about two weeks getting my first couple pieces, and then finished the entire rest of my set on a single server after getting some Unyielding armor to drop from Eviction Notice.

Good luck!

Stuff like that is not dependent when re-placing your camp.

note that since legendary modules are awarded directly from expeditions, and are not throttled, you may want to just spend your scrip on vault steel rather than modules.

I now know how important frequent quicksaves are in FO4. Had a quest to go into the glowing sea to some army dudes, ran the whole way, got to the place, killed my way through, and then I had to take an elevator up. The moment I open the door, there are three power armour dudes there, who splatter me instantly. I tried drugs, being invisible, waiting until they walk away - it's impossible. Last save was an hour ago, so there goes that progress...

I was under-leveled though I think, so will cut my losses and come back later to kick their asses.

Are the FO76 season rewards generally 100% doable if you're getting all your daily and weekly SCORE things done? Or is it bullshit where you have to spend atoms to get it all? I havent been able to find when the current season will end.

I've only been playing for two weeks or so and I'm on level 74 for the season. That is with a weekend of double xp but other than that I've just been doing my dailies and weeklies. It seems really really easy to finish compared to other games.

This is more fun than I was expecting. At level 5 and found a legendary short stock hunting rifle with +50% damage against humans, just in time for me to decide how to handle the mission with the free radicals so.. it was an easy choice. Glad my gamepass sub isn't going to complete waste.
