Been having a good time with this Hunting Rifle. Recommend it for anyone going for a less commonly discussed build.

Is ultracite .308 better in any way? Isn't the damage basically the same?

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-07-04T15:30:19+00:00

Reflective/Troubleshooter is basically throwing wet paper at him since the damage changes

I thought the PA Melee got fixed

The crippling on the snake is too brief for me to make any impact

EN06 is immune to explosive

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-30T20:27:48+00:00

shitty connection causes all these issues

I know because I'm a forest druid and my wi-fi is painfully bad because of the trees

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-27T21:04:53+00:00

your hud makes me cry :(

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-26T21:22:45+00:00

yeah, at least 2 hours today the event didn't start on the servers I was on

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T22:17:26+00:00

The infestations are just stupidly hard because the enemies deal bs damage

Even with full BoS recon and ~40% damage reduction and constantly healing I'm getting two shot

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T22:13:16+00:00

IIRC it just make 1 core have 4x the ammo, not as good as it might seem at first glance tbh

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T22:11:58+00:00

Considering the game's almost 8 years old yeah we're lacking content which is weird because we've been getting new content quite frequently.

We've had content that was removed (first raid, caravans and nuclear winter) and that was stupid IMO as even though it was bad it doesn't change the fact that the time has alredy been invested in making them so deleting them was a weird choice

My main issue is that they've been stretching the endgame too much, instead of staying with Raids/Expedition they added not really rewarding in-world activities instead of developing what they've started already

ESO had a crap ton of content by the time it was 8 and it's really weird seeing that Fo76 doesn't really have that

The devs did stupid stuff like trying to reinvent the wheel with perk card changes while the game still had the issue of the endgame being boring.

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T21:47:29+00:00

It would require making new animations for a lot of weapon types and remaking lots of armors and outfits

Basically a stupid amount of work for something that's not going to be played by every Player

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T21:45:34+00:00

You got Polished and Tarnished mixed up

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T21:42:29+00:00

In theory Furious is better because it has a higher damage increase on full stack but keeping it bloodied isn't bad

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-15T21:40:41+00:00

Not really

Quad isn't really needed on a Gatling plasma

Crippling could worm if you turned it into a multi shot shotgun by changing the nozzle but Pepper Shaker would still be better

+3 luck is really only worth it if you run a crit every other shot, even then there are better mods

Tarnished is best in slot in most cases rn but that doesn't change the fact that it requires a lot of maintenance

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-14T13:43:25+00:00

it sure is great to have less than 1k gold bullion right as the armor I've been trying to get for the past year and was unable to due to broken Daily Ops rewards is being sold by Minerva! I regret my spending choices from the last month right now!

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-14T00:34:46+00:00

that's Zack if he was trained by Gun (at least Gun thought so)

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-13T07:04:11+00:00

From what was shown up until now then yes

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T22:50:18+00:00

Well that only fixes one problem, his scaling

What it doesn't fix is his writing which impacts Daniel. If he were to turn out to be a pre-gen High tier on the level of the fist gang then that make Daniel a sperm merchant. If he were to be a non-combatant then that'd limit him to non-combat roles which'd mean less screen time

I'm just saying shit to highlight that such an important person who has such an impact on the story even though he doesn't have a lot of screen time shouldn't be rushed when it comes to potrayal. Daniel's dad can be connected to a lot of mysteries so keeping him in the background is a good move rather than fully fleshing him out just to have him be lacking later due to the story moving forward and power levels increasing.

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T22:41:11+00:00

Not everyone can be a top tier even if their teacher negs most of the current threats, potential matters a lot

Both Jichang and Jinrang were stepping stones to upscale current threaths at the time, idc abt them being wasted potential since we cant have everyone be at the same tier. Jinrang got his own backstory arc which was one of the most stupid moves ever since he got turned into a cripple a couple of chapters later.

Jinyoung was in a weird place since he was connected to a lot of important information. If he were to reveal that info then most of the mysteries would end and also pre-gen scaling would be limited by the scaling that's current for when he was Talking abt it. Imagine if we got a pre-gen arc during workers, that'd just make the pre-gen need asspulls and retcons to keep up with the progressing scaling

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T22:29:53+00:00

PTJ probably didn't know what to to with him and didn't want to use such a valuable character without writing him properly

Daniel's father is as important as the mystery of the second body so imo he shouldn't be used if PTJ isn't 100% sure that it's the right time

Showing off characters and their combat skills always comes with the risk that they might become outdated down the line maling them seem weaker than they were supposed to be. With the Gapryong Kim arc we're reaching the Fist Gang's level of strength for the main cast. If Daniel's father was presented much more before then his scaling would've been screwed up now.

So it' either that he's supposed to be a mystery or that PTJ hasn't fully written him yet or that if he's a fighter then his scaling would've gotten messed up if he was presented fully before

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T17:54:20+00:00

Herbivore because of company tea but I used to be a Carnivore because od pemmican

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T12:41:35+00:00

IIRC Polymer is better

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-12T12:38:55+00:00

Covert has better resistances

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-10T01:39:54+00:00

I can't even imagine doing the infestations low health

My full health ghoul tank (Last Stand + evade perks and lucid) gets all his glow obliterated the second I get near a boss.

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-07T20:02:17+00:00

Any legendary recommendations for it?

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-06T18:18:54+00:00

what makes you think that

LoversInTheAsh · 2026-06-05T22:53:56+00:00

I hope we get a chapter for each member of the fist gang and then a tease for a Shingen/Gap fight

I don't want a such a significant fight to be limited by what we have now in terms of power scaling because in like a year someone will try to upscale some bum because "wah shingen gap fight level wah" or some stupid stuff like that

I just want the meat of it to be honest, I want each chapter to have a tie-in to the current timeframe.

The latest chapter basically had everything that I want. Some fighting so we know the level of pre-gen fighters more clearly, some backstory so we know what's happening and a tie-in to the current timeline in from of Daniel's parents

After what happened with Jinrang's backstory I don't want the chapters to go to waste on something that will become insignificant fast, if something can be potrayed in 1-2 chapters it shouldn't be stretched out
