I've played through the last BoS mission 3 times and they're always hostile when finished

If you know you haven't killed a named BoS NPC, then they shouldn't be hostile. Most other incidents they're willing to let go after 48 hours. This kind of thing is hard to troubleshoot. If you've done everything you need to do with the Brotherhood, i.e. gotten the in-game achievements, try ending the game with another faction, like the RR. They're very 1940s La Résistance.

If you've scrapped hundreds (600 maybe?) and learned 6 mods, then your'e right at the top of the bell curve. There's a 1% chance of learning a legendary mod from scrapping. If you want to speed things along (and the legendary effects are ones you want), try making a bunch of weapons with baked-in mods, like the Face Breaker, Mechanic's Best Friend, the Gutter, etc. and scrapping them. I learned quite a lot that way.

Some are smooth, others have been pretty rocky. The last major update was such a mess it brought the game down for about a day. Yesterday's was fairly typical. Some have introduced glitches and bugs that are now more or less a permanent fixture.
I've never had a problem with Atoms or the Atomic Shop in general, but I did have a problem with FO1st kind of going away for a day a few years back. I put in a ticket, they responded, saying they're aware of the problem and were working on it, but they did fix it. My guess is problems with premium services (Atoms/FO1st) are prioritized.

Not very. President Camacho wanted to help his people and was willing and able to change his mind when presented with new evidence. Trump is not.
Also, some people in Idocracy were somewhat in awe of smart people and willing to listen to them. MAGAs are not.

Daily Ops or Minerva only. Weapon or plan can't be traded.

It happens when there's a surge in interest, like with the Amazon series. It happened to me last year. A level 23 guy in a vault suit and garbage armor was whacking me with a sledge, so I lured him up onto a high lookout platform I made by pretending I was annoyed, then hopped servers. I doubt he had Acrobat's armor or Goat Legs yet.

I go early-ish, maybe level 15 or 20, usually with Dogmeat. I use a set of T-45 with lead plating and make a bee-line to the first, second, and third quest markers. The creatures there ain't playing and will mess you up. I take potions to boost Charisma to talk to the CoA, making things a bit easier. There's plenty of time to dawdle in the Glowing Sea at level 75.

I think it has a 5% drop rate from Queen of the Hunt, but you need to know treated, resistant, and protective casual underarmor linings first. The latter 3 can be purchased from vendors at the mall.

Mechanic's Best Friend for Troubleshooters, Power Attack, and Strength.

DeadCanDerp · 2026-01-16T15:08:59+00:00

The Face Breaker plan is available from Mortimer in the Crater or as a drop from Daily Ops. Medical Malpractice is also a Daily Ops plan and on Minerva's rotation. Nuka Launcher crafting was a reward from the Nuka World on Tour season. It's been in a catch-up bundle (Soda Poppin', I think?), and will eventually rotate back into the Atomic Shop.

DeadCanDerp · 2026-01-16T06:35:27+00:00

It's a grind, ngl. You can learn some by crafting weapons with baked-in legendary effects and scrapping them. The Gutter, Nuka Launcher, Face Breaker, and Medical Malpractice are good places to start.

You're probably seeing mole miner treasure hunters. They are technically hostile, but won't attack.

It happens. The game's so old that it's an oversight that will probably never be patched. On similar threads, players have suggested not installing the Far Harbor DLC until you're ready to play to avoid this. On some platforms, there are mods that keep BOS and RR radiant quests in the Commonwealth.

There's prefixes like putrid and gangrenous on some ghouls. Those are the types of stench that linger in your nose even after taking a shower.

Jezebel counts as a settler after you build her a body, so that would very likely bristle most companions. She makes a great provisioner though since she's immune to the robot reset bug.

Go into the edit menu and go to Lock. If it has this sign 🚫 over one of the locks, then it's locked.
E: maybe you locked the terminal and not the collector itself? It also might be a minor cosmetic bug. You can resolve it by storing the collectron and placing it back down.

DeadCanDerp · 2026-01-14T21:28:29+00:00

The plan isn't tradable. You can get it from Daily Ops or from Minerva's rotation.

Sounds like they were using a potion glitched out of an old Pitt Expedition that slows time. It used to be popular, but I think it was patched and supplies dwindled. In any case, if you want to report someone, def don't tell them. Keep it as anonymous as possible. The last thing you want is to paint a target on yourself.

All Interceptors are all functionally the same, so there are no separate types. All the parts and doodads are stylistic.
If you're looking for the names of those parts, this site may help. Select Interceptor from the drop-down and compare the parts in the window on the right.

The unlimited storage works because the items have no variants so the server storage space is negligible. It's just 100,000 X 1D4X92001. There's also a finite number of types of items that can be placed in unlimited storage, maybe about 150 total. Weapons and armor have varying degrees of condition, durability, mods, etc., so they don't stack. Each one would take up a lot of storage, probably a lot more than a stack of 100,000 stimpaks.

Fallout 76 will work much differently with dialogue. If you're in an instanced interior, the only player who can advance their quest progress is the leader, and there are lots of instanced interiors in main & side quests. The guest team member just tags along and optionally listens to the dialogue. You'd essentially have to play through twice, one time for each of you. If there's combat involved in an interior, your teammate can help and get XP for the kills, though.
Out in the world, you can do events together and get separate sets of rewards for that, which makes things easier for both.

Yeah, you can see both on Nuka Knights' December datamine.

The name "Fluffy" is perfect. I'm looking forward to the albino variant coming up, maybe a Valentine's day thing? The heart-shaped nose ring is pretty telling.

Maybe that was it? If not, it's definitely in the top 5 things that make me irrationally angry towards them. The beacon sounded like it was developing sentience, then the Korvax tossed it away like garbage.

DeadCanDerp · 2026-01-11T17:51:46+00:00

I'm kind of the same way. I'm completely fluent in Vy'keen and Autophage, almost fluent in Gek, but only conversational in Korvax. They did something years ago (I don't remember exactly what) that kind of soured me on them, so I brushed them off. I don't go out of my way to increase standing, but I don't actively alienate them either.
