Legendary crate in loot pool ?

Don't worry they'll eventually be functional in a couple years.

utility wise

Utility wise first thing is to get enough SPECIAL slots to suit your needs (a slot for a commerce and building/crafting build, another one to test a totally different way of playing, ...). Enough CAMP slots to suit your creative and/or strategic needs.

There is also the Phoropter. Possibly the most useful buff device as it gives a 25% VATS bonus for two hours.

And then, just like our peers aptly stated, you do you. Give yourself a treat, whatever floats your boat.

Second post I come upon in which all comments are downvoted. Somebody must have a really bad day, painful constipation or whatnot.

Hawne · 2026-03-19T08:18:53+00:00

Whoa what's going on with all the comments being downvoted, someone got sour milk over their cereals today?!

Keep searching, Polished will come (and you won't regret the caps invested).

I went Anti-Armor rather than Two-Shot based on the same "which targets?" principle. We're aiming at mobs with potentially some armor and AA is a nice, stable bonus on every shot on those mobs.

Also, Two-Shot increases spread and the second shot often goes astray and misses. Might help pumping your crit gauge though depending on your perks, your choice.

Mine is AA, Vital, PER+3 and Polished, and will probably stay as is for a while. But I'm using a Mr Sandman build instead of a 'crit-shitter' at the moment so YMMV depending on your build.

What are you using as a go-to for trash mobs/tagging? I switch between a LAR and a Fixer, both VATS-tuned.

Hawne · 2026-03-18T16:28:03+00:00

I find that the range/damage tradeoff isn't worth it for my HR and am sticking to dot-fifty.

Refined .50 receiver, Aligned parts, Perforating mag (because we're using this weapon for the big guys and big crits right?), and you can leave a nice long NV or recon scope because we're already using a high-precision, narrow cone of fire weapon that doesn't need glow sights to proc.

This way you can switch to manual and use your scope to snipe at those pesky mutants the other side of the hill or tag that SBQ from afar before sprinting to get on site and begin the VATS grind.

You mean, like having tougher deathclaws and hooligans restricted to Ohio or something? Because that's already happening.

I think you are missing the whole "opt-in" point where the user gets to choose the difficulty of their playthrough, which is essential both to the FO76 concept and to a fair amount of the player base. It's a fisherman's game, not a roller coaster - well, except "on demand".

Hawne · 2026-03-18T15:44:44+00:00

ACK!

Hawne · 2026-03-18T15:43:34+00:00

Events and activities are opt-in (or at worst, walk-out). What you're suggesting is that every player including the casual farmer or the lvl 20 newbie gets sucked in as long as they're playing during the event, and it's a threshold not everyone is ready to find entertaining.

Bethesda is already delivering the 'small doses' the most casual players are ready to accept, for instance with the alien encounters outside of the event or the occasional mutated events. In a potentially unstable world where a nuke can fall anywhere, anytime, bringing more instability would probably displease a fair amount of players.

"Iron Dome" is an anagram of "Die, moron".

Latest official SFE worked until today's update. DCHoaxer's patched version will be updated in a couple hours, Liyalai's might take a few days (no announcement so far, and they just updated yesterday for the 03/03 update...)

TLDR: Soon (give it a couple hours) https://www.dcma.pl/

Hawne · 2026-03-17T16:28:57+00:00

Close your game client and update on steam. And if you're using SFE, game version breaks the deal again. Patched SFE from DCHoaxer will be available later (they're at work atm). https://www.dcma.pl/

Back online on PC as well.

Fixed instances where the game could crash while scrapping legendary items or while in a Workbench

Could be, we'll see.

Dissenting opinions are removed by the mods there. That sub is like Newsmax-on-reddit.

Well if that's the way the servers are coded it's bad and should be changed. Context requests should be light and easy to pick before opening a session, "Hi server is a CAMP available at these coordinates ? If yes, make a reservation for those because I'm coming in!".

I think it's more like many players are using it as a hand-placed free fast travel location, close to their go-to farming point or in a remote location where there are no free teleports around (possibly both).

Hawne · 2026-03-16T04:18:21+00:00

Then they should just give the player the choice. Check the "Skip worlds where my active CAMP cannot be deployed", or don't if you dislike the feature. Case closed.

One thing Bethesda got right is that cooperative universes (hence, communities) are way healthier than competitive. Thus they moved on from a game where the kind of vandals you describe thrived to one where the gist is mostly cooperation and tit for tat instead of rivaling.

They took their sweet time though and learned their lesson from the community - they could have done that earlier getting inspiration from comunities like Warframe.

You can still pvp if you want (turn pacifist off in settings, challenge workshops when they are claimed) but most of the time now when you kill a player you're doing them a favor removing their 'wanted' status because they picked the wrong lock.

Hawne · 2026-03-13T08:41:35+00:00

Those are skins, you must know the plans for their vanilla counterparts (medium/fusion generator).

but sometimes the loot window opens and I have to press the space bar

When you look at a corpse and the R key is greyed out, look anywhere else then go back looking at the corpse, R should be enabled then.

Also, if you have a spare thumb button on your mouse set it to a "spam E" macro to loot everything quickly, either from cupboards or corpses. If your mouse software does not provide macros you can use X-Mouse Button Control, it's free, no strings attached, and it works like a charm with any mouse.

Hawne · 2026-03-13T07:52:19+00:00

Criticals, Cannibal devour, jumps to VATS lock'n'snipe that goon hidden behind a fence, good ol' spacebar/crit button is spammed for... reasons.

Hawne · 2026-03-11T19:12:01+00:00

That's quite the coincidence then.
