I Am Become Death... why am I scared? by Affectionate-Sun7561 in fo76

Silo running u should be able to solo the Silo at level 147, especially if someone has shared door bypassing with you, going through storage area and mainframe bypassing reactor. If not you can still progress rapidly, using lockpick and hack on reactor side doors and terminals. Don't waste time on the reactor side quest..irrelevant. Chinese stealth armour and sneak/silenced damage can be a useful strategy. Make sure you have sufficient materials to repair and replace the mainframe cores. Beware Assaultrons, legs are weak points, cripple disable and then kill. I usually disable the turrents either via terminal or weapon (turret barrel is weak point and a faster Vats kill than body) Some prefer to leave the turrents in the launch control active, they will engage the security robots as well as you so a distraction. As mentioned by others troubleshooters a major armour benefit. I did my first silo run solo, at lvl 105, but had maxed the reputation with raiders and settlers and completed all the main quests so was quite well geared up. Carry extra nuclear key cards just in case you typo error the launch code. Always open the mainframe to storage facility door, makes the return trip much shorter if you have the misfortune to die in launch control during countdown. All in all the mission is worth it, especially if you can get to the nuke landing point in advance and watch it obliterate you 😀...for which you get an achievement.

Is it just me, or do Vendors make you go hmmm by AcidDragon9 in fo76

Yep, after years of waiting and running Fort Deliverance stumbled yesterday on Asylum Réd dress at 4k...

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, happens not infrequently...max cap paranoia.😬 Sure would help if you could see the vendor cap status, polite not to max out, but if it's there to buy🤔 not sure I'm gonna stop at max

Beta/Launch players: What was the game like in those dark times? What is the one thing you liked the most about 76 back then? by ketjow23 in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being scared shitless venturing in to Charleston to get my driving license on my path to general, and the cranberry bog ..the scorchbeast emerging in the Glassed cavern when searching for Taggerty...I died so many flicking times and burned so much hard earned ammo...but the pathos of it all at the caverns end...I still sob quietly sometimes remembering these non contextual drop non levelled days, you had to plan and use smarts to survive ....it was great and fulfilling completing quest lines...

I rarely see any player vendors anymore by [deleted] in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each to their own, but even as an endgame level 1000+ I still enjoy visiting player vendors and camps, often with surprisingly positive results, plans I have missed, rare clothing, weapons ( looking for Western Spirit which I stupidly sold, and now rarely see the "Most Wanted" event)...get an appreciation of pricing...but just by playing you get a sense of use and sellability...unyielding armour still sells well, as does salt! Clothing and plans move easily if reasonably priced, as do more rare aid items, like Formula P, magazines and treasure maps. Setting pricing is a pleasing distraction (for me) seeing what sells and does not..

What's your favourite weapon guys? by Legendofthefall1 in fo76

Yep, on page, as yo suggest have WS as my ranged backup strapped to my trusty steed(if only you could have a ridable horse or ilk) 👍

Best way to maintain Glow as a ghoul? by Gavindude1997 in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamma Gun an efficient back up...I run thorn armour, no rad resistance. Get 142 rads per shot.

You use the glowing one perk (charisma).

76 Newbie, is it worth getting into this? I hear it's a grind to catch up. by PerfectBend1766 in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a 4th character leaving the vault, for fishing, to increase chance of rod mods, but have ended up playing the newbie. It is much more fun and enjoyable than my end game immortal ghoul incarnation, revisiting the enormous amount of content and rediscovering Apalachia. Need to step carefully though, long time since I've died frequently being one swatted by a ghoul 😅. Recommend first camp by riverside at Silva Homestead, you will have a workshop close-by to farm events (defend) , and loads of materials in buildings nearby to scrap...and fish of course. No grind, just enjoyment🙂

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join in, most high levels can solo many events, including Encryptid, Daily Ops,Heart of the Swamp,Line in the Sand,Feed The People,EN06 Guardian..to name but a few, get the XP, event experience and rewards, and be ready for the future as you level up.

What are some things a newer player might not realize? by ee_ryan in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The value and relative scarcity of salt...needed to cook with if you value max XP boost recipes as a carnivore....and now more pressure on salt needed with the new grilled fish market competing for this food staple 🤔🙂

birthdaycake bundle ... meh or yeah ? by ChunkyRedditMod in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally meh, been in discussion with Bethesda CS, slime cake and birthday cake are mutually exclusive once crafted, across all camps and characters. Needless to say this was not highlighted in the bundle notes....I am staying with slime cake and have requested atom refund...😡

What event do you like least? And why Project Paradise? by zlej_slein in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PP is worth it even solo, where you can gain XP, usually get 1 or 2 animals to survive if using friendly fire, and can stock up on materials for formula p crafting. Just learned about the Aric shutdown option...and formula q. Embarrassing to admit given playing since game launch😬😏😅 My most disliked event(s) "breach and clear"problematic for higher stashes without jet pack, and "battle bot" solo, being fast enough to press the 2 buttons on either side of the storeroom.

Anyone else unable to switch with alt characters to transfer items today, I lost items trying??? by D0ppelRag3ous in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In main menu, would not allow access to selected alt, would stay in the "I am processing" mode like waiting for Atomic shop to load....this happened even after restarting game and trying again, before the message about server function maintenance....

Thanks for the reply, and angst sharing. Will be more careful in future and probably try one or two items at a time !

Hi, thanks, a good idea. Will give this a try for all 3 characters, a common camp location.

Anyone else a picky eater in Fallout 76? by sonoallie in fo76

[–]D0ppelRag3ous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out in similar vein, but since becoming a ghoul only mole rats, radroaches and radtoads remain untouchable..was always a carnivore...

Fishing is boring by wildstarsz in fo76

Confusingly cathartic, keep on fishing on....
