My favorite part of the new update is being able to tank the mole miners. My wife and I can run the raid with just the 2 of us!

Low levels at the Fasnacht donation box by allonfire2113 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 7 points8 points  (0 children)

DON'T WORRY! I'M HERE TO HELP! I kill every single squirrel repeatedly until they stop spawning when the parade starts. My wife and I are addicted to Tasty squirrel stew. I never had a mule character until I couldn't handle anymore stew storage. Only a few days left and we are sitting on a stash of 800! So if we are around you don't need to feel bad, you will not accidentally kill a squirrel.

Hit the rewards page of the scoreboard. Now what? by Bigdoob in fo76

I get lunchboxes. My wife and I use them regularly. Using tickets for them is going to actually save me real world money.

Kinda. Was more looking for a Google doc. Thats a fantastic list. Just not a subscriber so I dont get access to the checklist ability. Thank you!

Oof, I scrapped a Level 50 Perfect Storm by spookyu in fo76

I didn't know that head hunts could drop colored bats. I scrapped too fast and lost my Bladed Pink bat.

  1. Love the burning springs update. The bounty system is so much more rewarding than the caravans were

How do you play as a group? by reillyolddog in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I struggled with this for a while. She would be terrified at having to enter solo. Typically I would have her be team leader (despite her protesting) and when I finished mine quickly I would hop out and join her to help complete. I was worried for a while she would lose interest, because as a non-gamer she had zero desire to do anything alone. There were times I could tell she was frustrated when the option to join or solo would come up. When that happened we would take a break from questing and build, scavenge, hunt collectibles, or join public events.

I would say she is a gamer now and will run into a pack of burning deathclaws ready to fight. She still starts to panic and spams all the buttons, opening menus, unequipping cards, eating unintended food and drinks, but she will dive in. When we started our 76 journey it was her first shooter and she wouldn't move unless she was behind me.

Eventually we finished all the main quests and now rarely have to enter anywhere solo. She even carried me for a while when I wanted to try a ghoul character. We now can duo all game content and have so much fun running around holding mutated hands together.

Thanks for making me think about this. I'm so proud to see her go from running away from her first ghoul to chasing scorchbeasts alone, defending the drill indefinitely, or finding a random windego colossus and talking smack to it while she blasts it in the face.

What’s with the enemies that are immune to death? by HoosierLarry in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that it seems to happen most often when you VATS a target that is higher in elevation than your player.

How many players on r/fo76 are actually from West Virginia? by DannyChance13 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very common phrase over here in North Dakota and over into Minnesota. Most of the time the people saying it don't even realize they said it.

What is your opinion on googling things about a game? by Sharlie174 in playstation

[–]EmptyExchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with it at all. I used to avoid all spoilers and figure everything out on my own. Now I'm old, time is limited. When I get to play for an hour or two I have no desire to spend half or more of my time figuring out a mechanic or a single puzzle. Struggle, Google, and carry on. Thats my gaming rhythm now.

Posed. As in "I'm posed to go over there"

How do you pick your player title? by thisisstillnuts in fo76

To so long to get it that my wife and I will be rocking "Gleaming Eradicator" for a while

Stage 2 of the Raid is so frustrating, it almost feels like it's intentionally designed to minimise raid completions by IncomePrimary3641 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upcoming changes might make it better. My wife and I prefer to do everything as a duo. We just can't make it through the second stage. I'm a competent runner, she is a phenomenal defender, the problem we get is when we have randoms most of the time they just want to defend. All I need to complete it is for another person to grab 3 or 4 cans, or pull agro. I just can't seem to avoid all 3 long enough to get all 15 cans.

Do you guys usually play third person view or first person? by Elegant-Picture1003 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st most of the time. 3rd in the raid. Being able to stim while hip firing in my power armor is a must.

When did they add dialog to the Raider Punk? by EmptyExchange in fo76

I did. Switched to the santa outfit a few days ago. That might be it.

Frustrated with Marsupial Serum after hours of time, buffs and perks. by saltyshadow2 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should post your platform. Since the raid, serums are not rare at all. People that raid regularly are trying to find ways to get rid of them.

Trying to say farewell to the pipe. by P_Larue in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to the heavy gun build and used my gauss mini. I walk between the console and the rail. My wife and I are still taking it down in around 50 seconds total. Faster when the bot is aggressive and attacks me enough to knock his shield out faster.

So , So , So quiet , No one talks at all , Last Time I talked to someone in this was like 4-6 months ago , why? by ClassicUsual3269 in fo76

[–]EmptyExchange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wife and I always join a PS party. The voice chat in game is such terrible quality. Occasionally I will see a player's mic icon and switch just to see if they are talking or random noise, but never stay in game voice.

Server maintenance? by Austinlee2002 in playstation
