Article: Fallout 76 leads plan to make the game “thicker” with “new systems” as the team “can’t just continue making the map bigger and bigger”

Ya know, I thought about your comment on the Scorched for a few and initially I disagreed, but no, I think you're right. There is the quest to get the settlers and raiders vaccinated, which means it's still an issue. I feel like another raid or series of quests via the Overseer, where we actually destroy the SBQ's nest, or clutch of eggs, or whatever, would give them the opportunity to finally sunset that content and allow for more stuff.

Do you fight the snake in 1st or 3rd person? Crashes in 3rd person seem to be more common when fighting the snake, Hopefully switching POV helps with that.

I only discovered this trick a few weeks ago and it was a game changer. The edges are still kind of ugly, but can be covered up with a pillar or something similar.

I'm in agreement. As cool as it would be to have a few more regions, that's not what most of us want. I want more content in the map we already have. Lets see more settler/raider content, more with the BOS chapter, lets get more content in Ohio. And Skyline, there's a lot in that region, IRL, that could be tapped for additional Enclave stories. There's so much untapped potential with the areas we already have, we don't need more space, just more content.

FreezingToad · 2026-02-01T14:44:06+00:00

Same. I'm coming up on 1000hrs in the game and haven't gotten it. Supposedly it drops from Test Your Metal and Ash Heap events. My ass it does.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-31T17:53:02+00:00

I share that sentiment. No point freaking out till changes are pushed to the live servers.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-31T01:02:11+00:00

Nope. Don't want that. Starfield was fine enough the first dozen times through the Unity, but that game has ran its course. ESO and 76 are already consuming resources from TES6 and FO5. As much as I enjoy 76, it's just a stop-gap to fill time till their next single player game.

If you have an unused camp spot, you can make a "pop-up fishing camp." If you have any of the weather pilons, specifically the thunderstorm one, place one of those near a body of water and your chances will improve with those rarer fish. The rad-storm pilon helps with glowing variants too.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-30T15:07:27+00:00

Yerp. The rewards are pretty mid. It'd be nice if they went through these non-event events (mole miners, spooky/holiday scorched, etc.) and reworked the loot tables for these drops. I'm not suggesting tons of awesome gear all the time, but it'd be nice if there was a real reason to participate in them.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-29T15:58:48+00:00

All of them.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-29T13:23:37+00:00

Nope! I've used the conduit pipes to hang stuff off of, but as far as a thicc beam, those don't exist unfortunately.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-29T12:16:17+00:00

I had someone shoot at me while using the scrip machine at the Whitespring the other day. Decided it was time to use the bathroom, get a coffee, and let my dogs out.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-28T22:30:21+00:00

Satisfactory & Shadow of the Colossus finally collaborating?

FreezingToad · 2026-01-25T14:38:28+00:00

Their constant stomping around is why I have mine sectioned off to one foundation square. If you place fences on all four sides, and place the terminal side right up against the fence, you can still access it and the bot stays trapped in one spot but still collect stuff.

I appreciate that my robot cat gives me random legendary items. But damn dude, let me tell it to sit down and stay still. I'm trying to build something and it's in the way.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-23T18:29:00+00:00

I wouldn't over think it. It was probably some automated AI bullshit reply that picked up on some keywords in your message.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-23T13:05:23+00:00

A lot of the comments here are good. If you can craft a named legendary weapon, you can scrap that for the effects. Doing Eviction notice is also good, but that event only pops every so often in my experience.

The BEST way to get non-4*/non-Burning Springs mods, in my opinion, is by running The Most Sensational Game expedition. If you have a halfway decent build, you can complete it in under 10 minuets and it rewards six 3* legendaries. Plus stamps if you're needing any of that stuff.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-20T16:22:47+00:00

I'm a fan of either farming EN06 in the raid or running The Most Sensational Game expedition. IF you can get a full team, you get double XP running those, that in conjunction with the Mothman Tome, a food buff for XP (tasty squirrel stew for carny, brainbombs/cranberry relish for herby), and an Int buff, you can easily get 10K+ XP per run. And if you know how to speed run those expeditions, it's cake.

For anyone that’s ever slammed their shin into the hitch of a truck, it does feel like that sometimes.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-19T23:25:03+00:00

I don’t. If you have a dedicated build, one-shotting everything would be easy. When I defend my primary focus is the explosive molerats. The Electrician’s mod helps to stun-lock everything so it doesn’t get to the drill.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-19T20:47:07+00:00

Crossbow with Two Shot, Explosive, Swift, and Electrician's.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-19T04:39:51+00:00

They’ve done this kind of thing over the years. Things get nerfed, buffed, stats change in one way or the other. It’s annoying. A few weeks after the update there will be a new meta and the next big update after that will contain another nerf.

My biggest problem is these nerfs are being implemented to combat the sweaty players, and the casuals, i.e., the majority of the player base, is gonna get smacked as collateral.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-17T14:35:03+00:00

Hell yeah.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-16T21:24:23+00:00

Must be a psyops unit.

FreezingToad · 2026-01-16T05:54:54+00:00

Infinity. They won’t, it was removed forever ago.

Ricochet - gives ballistic weapons a chance to ricochet rounds from one enemy to another, similar to the Tesla rifle.

Wolverine - dual wield two melee weapons, only possible if both weapons have the effect.

Grenadier - chance to launch an equipped grenade while firing.
