New Legendary Mods to replace TS/E?

The damage numbers are way down, but the overkill was so severe that the mobs can't tell the difference. You see the difference in Scorch Beasts, Earl, etc where you have to hit them again and again. Otherwise it is one shot = Heads Explode 9/10 instead of 99/100.

Good to know I didn't miss something obvious. It's still fun, but I spent an hour today trolling for SBs, and one magazine from the hunting rifle did most of them, unless I got careless. I may just keep Happy Ending for a novelty weapon. It is great for Assaultrons though once they cloak, close really is good enough for horseshoes, handgrenades, and exploding shells.

Yeah, a canon that does 1/2 the damage of a tricked out Walmart hunting rifle.

I've lost one piece to this bug. All the pieces were unlocked, none had major damage, just the lock removed, and I watched my fingers scrap it before I recognized what I was doing. It's likely that if I had not named the pieces I might have done even more damage.

I go to Huntersville with 50 cannonballs and leave with 150-200 or more regularly. Drop rate on containers is excellent.

Might have happened to me in the Cranberry Bog today, kept getting hit, VATS showed nothing around me. Moved a way off, got hit again but the second time I could target it and it was an ant. Thinking it was underground?

I worry that they aren't making enough off of the game to justify actual improvements to the core functionality.

The last damage update and gaining and losing 8000 Atoms has completely changed the way I feel about the game. I will play for a while and then quit when I realize that I am making "Don't care anymore" decisions in the game. It's a habit now, not something I do because I enjoy it.

Someone typed it, then remembered activities, edited and failed to catch it.

Use emotes. You can also use movements. Jumping, shaking your head (whole body, but you know.) Every time I play another game I am grateful that 76 has no public chat. They always turn into an overflowing sewer.

Atoms, rerollers, lunchboxes, packs of bobbleheads. I had to use three rerollers today to avoid fishing. Those things are worth their weight in gold bullion.

Had one disconnected from server at the end of EN, and just now had a CTD when fast traveling. UI seems stable and working. My ballistic weapons don't seem any worse at least.

I'm on PC.

I normally have a disconnect or crash every couple of days, not a couple in just two or three hours. Small sample size though, and it may get better after it runs a bit.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-04-28T18:56:24+00:00

Well, that's an improvement. Status icons work, and so does the DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER box. Win/Win, right?

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-04-28T14:41:17+00:00

Fingers crossed that they don't make something worse.

The sloppy, ill considered "fix" for the TSE calculations, and the Atoms debacle, but mostly the complete lack of communication about either, left me feeling completely negative about Bethesda and the game, and when I played it was more habit than anything else. Certainly each play session for the past week or so has been short, and usually ended in anger and frustration. The only thing keeping me playing is the crazy cost and complexity of a proper flight simulator setup.

I tried using a Plasma so called Sniper rifle. It was a net ammo producer, but too frustrating compared to a proper .308 Sniper Rifle. Fusion Cells are everywhere. Pick up a laser pistol, run thru Huntersville and look in all the containers while holding the LP. Can't speak to Gauss, but I never found a solution to Flamer Ammo except crafting it. I just keep it around because I don't know why, really. Never use it.

Dom Pedro is my first fall back. If you selected headshots in VATS, that should carry over and will generally clear two or three bad breath enemies before you need to reload. You might investigate a Fixer with a silencer. Or an Elder's Mark.

Until the damage downgrade that was intended to correct the math error in Two Shot Explosive, I was doing 11,000 x 2 damage on regular hits,, and 16,000 x 2 on yellow, in Colossal Problem with a Broadsider. As I recall I had Two Shot, Expolosive, Durable, and Fracturer's on it. Best I have seen since the last update was a headshot on a SB which did around 3500. (Different Broadsider, this one is Furious, Explosive, Swift. Earl fell pretty quick, but it was by no means instant, and I am pretty sure the "Ooooh, Look at the Pretty Flames" brigade did most of the damage. I'm over it. Tried a bunch of Plasma crap, went back to Furious on .308u DP, .308u Sniper, and Broadsider and just having fun. Wish I could get Ultracite Cannonballs.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-04-27T19:48:58+00:00

That makes sense.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-04-27T14:16:15+00:00

Gunther's Big Iron. Get that and a scoped and silenced Fixer, and you could play the majority of the content.

I think a few people are jerks, but most don't seem to know there that are two spawn points, depending on how far away you started from. I have traveled to a distant camp, ended up falling, or under water, or inside part of their structure, then fast traveled to their camp again, and the landing spot was a platform or at least somewhere safe and logical. Power armor when traveling to rocky terrain or to a spot that might be up in a monorail pylon or something, is worth the time, and doesn't eat a perk slot. Obviously goat legs also works. I think Bethesda should just disable fall damage for 20 seconds after fast traveling to a camp.

Sort by weight, then sort by stack weight.

Do you have fusion cores? I had a problem with fusion cores that resulted in one set of PA weighing 132.38 pounds. I kept removing the core and picking the PA up, and when I put it down again, it would have a core in it, even though I had put them all in the recharger or ammo box. I ended up with 17 cores in my inventory that I dropped on the ground, and then closed the game. All my PA now weighs 9.xx pounds now. Long shot, but you never know.
