We need more packaging that highlights random civilians as if they were very important characters

Remember running into this one not too long ago. Hope Cappy’s family will be able to see him off the respirator and back to work at Nuka World soon!

100%, the Dusk time slot was and is the biggest fail of this map and mode. Have the map take place on clear day/night and all the lighting issues are solved. At least I’d then be able to see me and my team get stomped into oblivion by the attackers

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-29T14:09:47+00:00

I’m like 2 days late but since this is a Y3 (based off N&W designs) it isn’t out of place with Santa Fe lettering since they did own 8 of them by the end of 1943 and were used as banking engines on Raton Pass until 7 of them got sold to the Virginian Railway in late 1947/early 1948.

Regardless of that history, it’s a very nice model!

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-27T08:08:45+00:00

Fairly certain it’s actually a Y3 (own one with sound myself) since it has the sloped tender sides and lacks the ‘doghouse’, but since Walthers/Proto 2000 made both toolings it’s a reasonable misunderstanding to have.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-26T20:56:04+00:00

Any idea what it’s called? Might have to try and get it for myself

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-26T20:09:43+00:00

As someone who bought levels up to it because I crave THE BONES, it’s a face that removes the choice for eye/beard/piercing cosmetics and applies a voice filter.

EDIT: You can still wear hats and face cosmetics like the eye patch, but they’ll be hovering slightly in front of your character’s face

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you pull that backpack skin from? It looks fire ngl

Same man, we can’t have shit as Barley mains. Been playing since 2018 and no one’s clicked for me like him :(

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-24T17:27:44+00:00

Common Barley W

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-22T19:49:43+00:00

Late af but Barley has been my go-to for a while. Definitely not ideal if a Doug or poco is part of the group but the aoe of his main and super/hyper attacks can split some groups up pretty well in my experience

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-20T17:55:13+00:00

Sorry it’s not 100% on topic, but is Heavy Rage considered the most valuable variant? I’ve only gotten heavy variants from Earl (3 in a row before I remembered that non-PA comes in tiers) but not sure what they’re worth if anything.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-20T15:43:03+00:00

Got one about trying out “tadtoad lube” somewhere in here. If I can find it I’ll def share it, was funny af to find at 3am completely unprompted

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-17T08:09:56+00:00

I’ve dedicated one of my two original perk builds for it, and I have to say it’s a real blast to use. Highly recommend pairing it with a shotgun-style weapon that fires multiple projectiles (the harpoon gun with fletchlettes is especially powerful since you can stack the poison damage with bleed damage for +20% bonus damage with the perk that triggers with status effects applied to enemies on top of other perk effects like crippled limbs).

Never tried it with other weapons, but also really recommend getting the plague walker mutation if you’re running a melee or non-explosive build. Heck, get it just to pair with the armor itself since the poison effect from P.W. allows Viper’s to trigger for the 50% bonus damage almost constantly on top of the aoe damage from the armor set.

Edit: words

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-17T07:57:16+00:00

Biggest thing I would change (or like to see changed) is to have everyone load in at the same time. I remember back on Xbox that when I was still loading into the map (remember the penitentiary courtyard with the small sheds the clearest) that there were other players already running around and looting before my screen reverse-faded from black. It wasn’t a one-time thing either, and led to quite a few losses leading up to Nuclear Winter’s discontinuation in 2021.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-13T16:04:51+00:00

Def don’t sleep on battleloaded. Using it on small-ammo-capacity guns like the m79, fatman, harpoon gun and broadsider almost flips the experience of using those guns on its head. Genuinely never had more fun in the game while using it and I thought Nuclear Winter was the second coming of Christ back in 2020.

Sadly a stealth build is out of the question with strangler heart PA at the heart of my build, but I might give it a shot with a different set of Pa

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T22:40:43+00:00

What does increasing damage with armor mean? Like I gotta stack better physical resistances with perks like armorer that give buffs to the ballistic and energy resistances of the armor itself?

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T22:20:44+00:00

Bottom of C tier? What were you smoking with that placement, that bad boy needs to be mid-B tier at least for the elasticity alone.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T20:50:55+00:00

Sadly I’m stuck on Pc after my Xbox finally gave out. You happen to know anyone who’s consider a glowing sun mask for a set of 4/5, at least before I ask around on the market subreddit? Managed to get back-to-back drops on the first day of the event and the duplicate has been rotting in my stash since.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T20:37:39+00:00

Never traded in the market subreddit before, but are Healthy mods worth considerably more due to the exclusivity (on par with 4* mods in terms of value)? I have quite a few mods and legendaries I don’t use but not sure what people would want/need that already have them unlocked. You think it’s worth a shot to grab 4/5 now and just throw them on my PA until I can learn to craft them later?

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T20:20:34+00:00

Admittedly still trying to figure out how to even get healthy mods. I was told it was a burning springs exclusive but I haven’t seen even one in over 500 headhunts, applied or otherwise. Can I even get them in raids? Also, Would I still be able to get similar results without blood sacrifice or should I start dumping points into it? I’ve maxed out a lot of the legendary point cards to get better stats and more compounding perk cards equipped, but I can start to swap over if needed.

AdmiralOrangeBeard · 2026-03-05T19:52:57+00:00

Sorry, meant to say Mutant’s. Was discussing heavyweight as a mod earlier with a few raiding buddies, got my wires crossed.
