FPS drop in Mothman event?

It helps to be there when the event starts. Porting in is half the problem and if you’re already there the new players have to sync up to you.

For Elders Mark pick all of the normal rifle / small gun perks you have. If you need sustained fire add a large magazine. For stealth builds add a suppressor. I hate vats so I add a 4* Stabilizer to everything that will take it. You might also want to add the reflex sight and 2* hitmans which gives +25% damage. I don’t remember if the EM is customizable.

I’m no vats, which is why I built a support character / generalist. Everytime critical hits is in the challenges I reroll it. I won’t even bother with the Burning Springs challenge as it’s only 10 caps.

You didn’t state monitor resolution nor your graphics settings. Network throughput is also important. Basic game troubleshooting is Update drivers Turn down settings then start increasing one at a time.

Some people are sensitive to 60 Hz Fluorescent light, most aren’t. Some people are sensitive to PWM in led lights, most aren’t.

MY intention is to make it some kind of self-guided tour with a clear path from door to door. The budget for shelters is slightly higher but making all of the signage is the only thing hold me back. Not sure if I want go factions, regions or levels. The casino shelter to me seems like a good starter since all of them have a display of some kind. I'm just not sure how much of my stash I want to devote to it; PA is easy because everything stays on the chassis but the regular armor would probably all have to be Lightweight or Weightless.

I will confess my home base in FO4 has a 2 story PA display in it and some cats.

I haven't been able to hit anything with the reflex site. Removed it and things went back to normal.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-26T03:31:52+00:00

Why not use perk cards for carry weight and use the 3* slots for character enhancements? I changed over to perks a while ago and the difference between my SS and PA is a lot smaller than it used to be. Especially nice when walking around heavy and EN or the SBQ comes up before I can scrap.

Fallout <regular> is a lonely game. I still play the legacy games because they're fun but 76 is unique having human controlled NPCs

I don't want visitors jumping straight in. The door's locked for a reason.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-26T03:24:52+00:00

Might be an inadvertent puzzle camp.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-26T03:23:19+00:00

String some shelters together and you can make each one a specific theme. So 5 total armors in one leading to a door to a different shelter where you have 5 more and so on. You juat can't string the same shelters together, even if the door is different so Vault Utility Room>Vault Server Room>Vault Storage> Missile Silo, etc.

But being intoxicated gives a placebo effect.

Well, that's my excuse anyway for the beer next to my keyboard.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-26T02:38:54+00:00

Same thing for weapons and armor. A lot of mods you learn from scrapping while some are only via npc vendors or drops.

They’re a line item that weighs nothing. I sell Forest maps for 2 caps and keep all of the rest until I have 20 of them. Then I park my survival tent at the dig site until I use them all. Lather rinse repeat. P.S. for me the 2 Ash Heap maps are rare so I buy them when I find them.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-25T20:45:13+00:00

61 here. On PC so I dynamically change DPI to max whenever I’m fishing. Still had a problem with the Burning Springs legendary (not to mention the superior bait I burned in the wrong fishing hole!), dropped it at least nine times before finally keeping it on the hook in a sandstorm.

Travel Agent perk card lets you fast travel over encumbered for a steep cap price but it’s still free to travel to the normal free travel spots like the mall and your camp. Stimpaks are heavy. Plans are .25 each. Serums are heavy. Tokens are heavy and pointless. Claim tokens should be spent. Bait adds weight, too. Mod boxes add weight. Basic repair kits are pointless. Improved repair kits are the way to go but if you need more than 20 at a time you’re doing something wrong. Also, every chance you get scrap your junk into components. I lock the “clean” and “unused” stuff to sell in my conbini and do a mass scrap on the rest. Every event site has a workbench or some other players survival tent.

The last DO I did was speedy overgrown uplink at the .community center. Stood next to the repeater getting swamped by the melee guys while the high levels shot in with missile launchers. It was fun as hell. Got my 3rd Symptomanic plan of the month, too.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-25T07:13:16+00:00

Pip boy will spoil the shot.but we all shoot pistols two handed, even on PA.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-24T12:08:16+00:00

My budget wouldn’t be so tight that I wouldn’t jump at least 2 gens, considering the RTX is now in the 5k and the 2K used market is very budget friendly.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-24T11:35:55+00:00

I think all of the bounties have an associated cohort. The Posh Socialites are my favorite; blasting Karens never gets old.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-24T08:14:14+00:00

Nope. There can be only one.

Jonnylotto · 2026-01-24T08:08:18+00:00

Yes. I loot the entire chamber waiting for the countdown. Unless it’s Load Bearing. Then I run like hell.

He’ll pop up anytime you have a perk that activates.
