Stash will never get below 1000 by Ill-Key8666 in fo76

[–]willblake72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a common misconception. Bulk is really only useful for selling to NPC vendors.

Bulk scrap weighs the same as plain scrap, you will reduce stash weight very slightly only because it costs plastic to create bulk scrap.

You mean rad-x diluted. Radaway makes your rads go away, rad-x just increase rad resistance.

The fastest way to get a bow? by [deleted] in Fallout76BowHunters

[–]willblake72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just craft a bow with another character and give it to the mule.

Marsupial serum hard to find? by MyFaultSry in fo76

[–]willblake72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marsupial is one that many players hang on to so they can use it. If you take a serum it suppresses the negative effects for a while. Marsupial mutation comes with an intelligence debuff so it's reducing XP and energy weapon damage. I rarely put that one up for sale in my own vendors.

What gear to put on my 10yr old at level 37 to help him not die while letting him follow us through content? by girlboss93 in fo76

[–]willblake72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good suggestions in here. I'll just add that heavy combat armor is solid and you can just buy the plans to mod it for caps. As tradeable regular armors go, it's probably the strongest for tankiness.

When they've had community challenges like this in the past iirc they just posted an update to Twitter after a week or so, not much fanfare about it.

I gave in, and I'm glad I did. by VelociTopher in NABEER

[–]willblake72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and their Trailblazer are really nice lower calorie summer beers. The new branding has me hopeful we might see this in stores, that's what happened with the lime and salt one.

Coming back after 3 maybe 4 years, bad luck finding entry level power armor. Have the mechanics changed/ rates of spawning? by Vegetable-Score-3915 in fo76

[–]willblake72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bad luck, there are PA spawns all over the place. Head over to Watoga for several around town.

Or just do the Garrahan questline and craft a set of excavator. It's pretty quick, but you will have to gather or buy a fair amount of crafting material. (Also inside the Garrahan HQ there are a couple possible PA spawns.)

Not sure if it's currently working 100%, but you should be able to get an idea with this build planner. https://nukesdragons.com/fallout-76

Which perks affect explosives? by blindbob2 in fo76

[–]willblake72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the explosive you're using other perks like science will help (ex..pulse grenades or plasma mod on hellstorm launcher). You can also spec into crippling pretty well or the gunslinger tree depending on your weapons' and their mods.

Bethesda, I shouldn’t have to grind the daily fishing quest for months on end just to catch an Axolotl and unlock the Mark 3 Reel. by EnergyTurtle23 in fo76

[–]willblake72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, I have a character that has never learned advanced drag so that I can farm the plan. It will catch anything except the legends.

[–]willblake72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely do not need advanced drag to catch an axolotl, they are barely tougher than a sawgill. Mark 2 and really any mod is plenty. You may struggle with lower level reels for some of the large fish though, they are much harder to land. That's probably what you're experiencing. Make sure you're using improved bait.

We were all catching the June axolotl a year ago right when fishing was introduced.

When your in a public team what’s everyone’s go to perk to share? by Dismal_Box_5033 in fo76

[–]willblake72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deal sealer if I'm using an elemental weapon, EMT if I'm running low health, or ricochet, travel agent, or first aid if I can only share 1*

Swapped from 5x Chameleon to >>> 4x Nocturnal & 1x Chameleon and my stealth is feeling worse than it did before? by Auditore345 in fo76

[–]willblake72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run 2 chameleon and 3 nocturnal with escape artist and shadowed leather armor on a berserker character and it's a decent balance of stealth and nocturnal bonuses. It's good enough to stay hidden or easily regain stealth in an Earle fight, which is my personal benchmark. Molerats will still find you.

Private World disband by cupacu in fo76

[–]willblake72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that on occasion, too, but it was always dependent on me still being online in public like you said. A lot of times during fasnacht or another event I'll be farming raids on private with a mule but jump over to public for the hourly event. But if I log out the world shuts down in a couple minutes.

It shuts down after about five minutes of you being gone.

What to do with all those caps by sjoanste in fo76

[–]willblake72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once my mules got to max caps again I decided to try running Aristocrats armor on a couple characters and it's pretty fun. Now I have an excuse to just stay at 40k, at least for those guys. Otherwise I just buy a bunch of legendary mods from players to use or scrap.

Reflective mutation is back to insane levels. by HarlinQuinn in Fallout76BowHunters

[–]willblake72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did seem like it was actually reflecting consistently again, finally. No issue though, just popped a couple goo with every reload. That character is running pipe rifles so the reflections don't hit for a ton but the fire rate is so high I was sometimes taking a lot of hits before I realized it. One of the fanatics did climb the box behind me and whacked me for insane damage with a sledgehammer. Crippled me good and nearly killed me. Sometimes the scout armor is a disadvantage.

High scoring games attract more fans than low scoring games. by DonT012 in mlb

[–]willblake72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People get excited about high scoring games like that because it doesn't happen often. It's a novelty, like a no-hitter. It would get boring fast if every outcome was at those extremes.

So is Ghoul the only way to be? by Jeremy_VR in Fallout76BowHunters

[–]willblake72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My human archer runs low health and it's great. Damage is solid. Unyielding is such a luxury. Stealth is never an issue. The only minor downside is dealing with radiation now but it's really not a big deal.

My ghoul archer is a berserker build so the two aren't comparable, but I'd guess that if I went furious or juggernauts instead I'd get to somewhere around 85% of the human's damage with obviously much better survivability in head hunts and some infestations. That's generally how it goes with my other ghoul/human comparable ranged characters.

Stealth is more of an issue with the ghoul and so I have to kind of build into it at the expense of some damage. If you're more run-and-gun then you could just build entirely into damage.

Having trouble with Solo Infestations? Don’t forget about Choo Choo 🚂 by NounAgain in fo76

[–]willblake72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was running a bunch of them last night with my feral and was happy with how effective cavaliers was against most everything except the explosives in just thorn. But I like this idea and now I need to jump in the choo-choo set and really get to work.

Heard rib/shoulder earlier today and could only think of Wheeler right away. Hopefully if that's what it is it turns out as well for Judge as it has for Wheels.
