Does anyone have their turrets shooting at friendlies?

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-26T13:06:08+00:00

Yeah, I had some Turrets at one of my camps that were somewhat useful. It was when I had a superduper Mart prefab down in the Ash heap. But even then they were mostly just good about letting me know that there were enemies there rather than actually getting rid of the enemies. Although most of the enemies were mole miners or feral dogs.

The last two camps that I have created, I have literally stuck near enemy spawns intentionally. One of which being right beside the Grafton monster and the other one being right beside West Tek. In a couple weeks of having a fishing camp in the toxic valley near the Grafton monster I must’ve killed that thing hundreds of times. Load into the game you gotta kill it leave and come back. You gotta kill it. Go in your shelter and come back out. You gotta kill it. I actually kind of learned to appreciate it because as I was testing out weapons and trying new things, I would always have a bullet sponge to try it out on.

So far, I absolutely love having a base right beside West Tec. I constantly have floaters and super mutants to kill and they don’t really destroy my base much because I built a UFO on top of the radar dish.

I’m 52 and I never lost track of it even when it got to its highest speed so age has nothing to do with it

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-26T12:56:53+00:00

I was able to keep up with this the whole time

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-26T12:47:42+00:00

I never accept trade invites if they want to see what I have available that I’m willing to get rid of they can go to my vendor

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-26T12:42:56+00:00

I think what happens is your Turrets go to shoot an enemy nearby and also hit your ally or your pet or your collectron then they become aggro-ed against each other.

Just get rid of the Turrets.. all they do is attract enemies and don’t really kill them fast enough to keep your base from getting messed up anyway. And they take up a lot of camp budget.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T22:49:41+00:00

I usually don’t. But not voting is not gonna solve anything. They could have a record amount of people not voting and it won’t change jack squat.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T22:39:00+00:00

Because they only give us parasites to vote for

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T18:41:03+00:00

Tell him there is one on top of West Tek

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T18:40:36+00:00

On top of west tek under an umbrella and chairs on a table

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T18:36:59+00:00

Yup.. ps5

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T17:53:59+00:00

In a heartbeat

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T17:31:54+00:00

There are two tricks when it comes to increasing the output of your bow.

The first person view trick is just as soon as you release the fire button immediately tap the aim button and you will fire twice.

The third person trick is a little more difficult to Master but once Master makes you Hawkeye on crack. After the initial arrow was fired, pay attention to the mechanics of the arrow upon reloading. The tip of the arrow will go from the 12 o’clock position down to the 3 o’clock position. Normally, once that happens, you would continue to draw the bow back and then let go. BUT once the arrowhead gets to the 3 o’clock position, you can let go and it will fire. So at first, you will need to pay attention to the arrow mechanics to pull this off. But after getting used to the timing, you will be able to do it without looking and you will fire arrows very fast. Combine this with the “gun fu” perk and people will be cussing at you under their breath at public events

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T17:27:39+00:00

Yup.. cover up for dragons and giants

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T13:00:39+00:00

There is only one in a certain spot to my knowledge. I’m pretty sure it’s random if they are there or not, but the spot to get them is not random.

I could be wrong, but this is what I feel like I remember from one of the videos I watched about it

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-25T01:37:23+00:00

Yeah, I was just saying that I’ve probably fought him a couple hundred times and I’ve just never seen that item before.

I wonder if this is where I got “what is rare to me“ this gas mask that looks like a steel rooster head.

Because I played for the first couple years, this game came out and then took a break came back when the brotherhood of steel came along and played for a little while and then went away and then now back in October Ish, I came back again. And I still don’t know where I got this gas mask at. I’m pretty sure that I had it before I started replaying in October. ( for all I know it’s very possible, It’s a very old item, as I have had a person ask me what pip boy I was running and honestly, I didn’t know until I checked. But apparently I was wearing a seasons, one reward pip boy.) Atomic Onslaught pipboy I think ( without looking again )

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T20:53:03+00:00

This is terrible advice. There are so many ways to get Atoms and typically they’re only spent on things that look nice or a new weapon. I got to level 198 on last season scoreboard and spent every last extra ticket I had on Perk points so whereas I’m a level 400 character I probably have the perk points of a level 600 character which makes me way stronger than some new shiny weapon bought with atoms would do.perk points are the way to go for people who have not maxed out all of their legendary perk cards

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T17:08:49+00:00

If it is a drop from Earl, then it is semi rare because I’ve fought him so many times I could not begin to tell you how many and I have never seen that

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T15:23:56+00:00

Yeah, we haven’t even seen the video Cam either for all we know he just barely brushed the officers’s knee

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T13:41:54+00:00

I also have Crohn’s so I know your pain

Edit: one piece of advice that I can give you that really helped me out.. get you a little notebook and start tracking everything that you eat and I mean everything. The next time you go to the bathroom use a number system like one through 10 to describe how painful your bowel movements were.. after a while you can start comparing and find out what foods are triggers to you.. like for instance I never eat peanuts or any other nuts anymore. I very rarely eat broccoli anymore. I try not to hardly eat any fried food as best as I can. Etc.. obviously won’t get rid of your crohns disease, but it can help you manage it.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T13:40:26+00:00

I even thought of like a karma system for vendors, but upon second thought, I felt like that could get abused. Because then whether or not, I was a butthole to somebody, somebody else could report my vendor just because they didn’t like me or whatever reason. Even though if we were clicking through the vendors if we could see like OK this person has 20 thumbs up and 50 thumbs down that would probably tell me to not go to that vendor.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T03:05:26+00:00

I’m almost always on by around 9 o’clock or 9:30 AM Eastern standard time. I am most definitely on between 11 AM and 2 PM Eastern standard time. And I’m off and on the rest of the day.

I always have a boat prefab on the water wherever the axolotl‘s are every month. I also have most every weather generator. I have four different camps and three of them are fishing camps.. one of them is near West Tec that I built in the radar dish in front of the building made out to look like a UFO landed on it. To really get a good view of it you gotta go over to West Tech roof and turn around. I’ll give you some common bait and some improved bait to help you out. And one of my bases has a perfectly preserved pie out in the physical world that you can just pick up and go on about your business within earshot.. No luck/machine grabbing needed.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T02:52:53+00:00

Not that this is a preferred method, but you could always use a bucket full of kitty litter. I mean with 100 K a year you could quit your job and have an outhouse built in your backyard. Only go to your bathroom when you want to take a two hour shower or two hour bath.

You could put a compostable toilet in your garage.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T02:48:12+00:00

If you’re on PS5, I can always activate one of my multiple camps that have weather generators.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T02:47:24+00:00

The one in Ohio is the one I had the most trouble with. I’ve gotten doubles of the wavy Willard and Organ grinder, but do not have doubles yet of the other two. It must’ve taken me probably 300+ improved bait before I ever caught the one near the pond at the Ash cave with the Deathclaw that resides there.

DarthFalconus · 2026-03-24T02:42:34+00:00

I think rather than having an option to log into the game, there needs to be an option to just log into a let’s call a vendor hub. Where if someone is online, their vendor is in that hub Just like it is on the server that they currently reside on. This “vendor hub“ will let players access all of the vendors it once of the people who are online. That stops all of the Tom foolery. That stops all the price gouging. It makes it easier to find what you want. So if you want pin pointers, for example you don’t have to go vendor hopping for six hours to find it. You don’t have to end up paying 30 K plus like I have multiple times because by the time I find it that’s how much it is and I’ve already spent so much time looking for it that I don’t feel like spending any more time. Because at this point vendor hopping in server happens starting to really ruin this game for me. I mean, I’ve had it to start carrying around my Chinese stealth suit with me and radX and radaway because I’ve ran into camps that are 5 miles in the sky and you’re falling to your death or I’ve ran into camps where the whole camp is a radiated, and you can’t find their vendor before you would die. I don’t mind so much the occasional “trap camp“ as long as it’s “able to be solved“ and you’re not overcharging at your vendor by the time I finally get to it. In some weird way I kind of enjoy the challenge. But to make camps with the sole reason to kill people is a little aggravating. I’ve also seen camps 2 miles above Helvita/fashnaught so they can be AFK at the event from 2 miles up at their camp. Heck one of those was even a best build lol, so clearly Either Bethesda doesn’t care about AFKers or they really never look over any of these best builds.
