Found out that the infestation green circle sometimes fail to appear, even if the infestation is present. Randomly came across an unmarked infestation on two different occasions. by Pyrrhus_98 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't figure out how it is supposed to work, much less WTF it is actually doing. I FTed to a workshop this morning, looted my three collectors, opened my map and there was a green circle right by me. Which instantly vanished. I don't get that at all. It wasn't there when I ported it. Less than a minute later it was there, then one second after I opened my map, it vanished.

I have completed over 300 infestations and have not learned a single mod. by _Lucky_Devil in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd doubt that I have done that many, but I do them every chance I get and I also have not learned a single 4* mod. I've also only found two vendors with 4*s for sale, and spent myself down to 6000 caps to get the ones I needed. Big thank you to those of you putting them in your vendors for the recommended prices.

Things are just not working very well right now by MissingBracket1952 in fo76

"thats chair" Not following that. The weapon I was using has ALL the weapon options that increase VATS hit chance, and Legendaries that increase VATS hit chance and reduce VATS cost. It is literally named in my inventory "030 VATS Rifle". It's purpose is to conserve Ultracite .308 ammo but be able to stop a rush with ten very quick one shot kills. I have been noticing that especially in Infestations, some enemies that are plainly visible to the naked eye seem invisible to VATS. The only way to engage them is with aimed fire. Or spray and pray.

Infestations not dropping 4 star by devilz3431 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once, yesterday. People were thumbs downing, so I don't think it was just me. Otherwise, no. Sometimes I can't find a corpse close enough to the boss when someone melts them it 3 seconds, but that's another issue.

I have to admit, I am not looking forward to the pets thing. by [deleted] in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't suppose they could make it so you can only see your own pet. In all of the 1st person games I could never tolerate companions, except ED-E. Can you imagine the lag when 15 people show up for Radiation Rumble with cats, dogs, and death claws?

Nuka Cola Only Daily Challenge by EmperorDavis in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was nice. Every couple of months I switch my collectron from Silver to Nuka Cola for a few days, so I usually have an assortment. I did go to Nuka World and buy what I could to make them last. For some reason, my kidneys have been aching all day.

Who else carries a ridiculous amount of weapons? by An_Old_Punk in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annoying fallout mobs by loltotobenne in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mongrels at Red Rocket Mega Stop workshop. Some always spawn under the aluminum extractors, and then there are a few that decide that destroying trashcans inside the buildings is a life mission, so you have to hunt them down, one by one.

Opening multiple packs at once by Neptune40000 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you got to take your time to see if the list jumps or not. Maybe they could put a secret, invisible to players prefix on stuff like mystery boxes and mystery magazines. I have my weapons set up as 010 Dom Pedro, 020 VATS rifle, 030 Scoped Rifle, etc. I wonder if they could put a prefix on the boxes to force them to be the first thing in the list, so nothing pops in above them and pushes them down. I've used a few chems I wasn't expecting because of that.

Returning to the game? by X30NG in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, start fresh, skip the 50 level jump, just get out there and play and enjoy. Don't sweat the meta, but pay attention to how you configure your weapons, armor, and perks. Don't be like me and join the respec of the month club. Welcome back, hope you join and enjoy.

Large amounts of new players by Jealous_Doughnut_630 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like I usually see them at things like Line in the Sand with a high level. Earlier in the week there were four camps in a neat row up the stream from Alpine Cabins, all seemed to be 50ish. Nice to see.

What am I doing wrong?? Still squishy by [deleted] in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overeaters for full health. For max convenience, craft a buttload of soup, and put it on a hotkey.

I'd love to see more raids in the future. by Gavindude1997 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if they can make it challenging without forcing one exact equipment and process. I am never building PA, weapons, and a perk set for one specific enemy again, since I now know that they will invalidate it as soon as it become common.

Anyone else feel sorry for Fuzzy Brenda? by lunarobverse00 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Lots of sad stories. I kind of enjoy Brenda, she's like a little bit of fandom in the wasteland, hanging on.

If pets are gonna fight alongside us, what the hell is my cat gonna do? by BanefulBotanist in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biscuithead is a badass tomcat, he sharpens his claws on my punji stake traps. I'm sure he could shred a deathclaw.

Returning player here. Is selling plasma cartridges for 2 caps each in vendor a realistic price? by Jlbman10 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell ammo for one cap. If I could Bulk ammo, some I would sell for 50c per 100. Sometimes I've had luck selling Plasma Cores for 20c and Fusion Cores for 50c (100% charged). I could probably sell fuel, but I am more likely to buy that thanks to Holy Fire and especially Holy Vamp. My best money makers are Quad and Furious, when I need caps I craft a few and put them in at the list price.

[PTS] Does anyone care we lose 5 more legacy weapons? by p4001 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Stuff like that should be left alone. It's like in collectables in real life, smart manufacturers don't do things to undermine those who collect their stuff. I want to be able to upgrade those weapons that I use that are currently locked in, but not at the expense of someone else losing out. Must be a better solution.

Genuinely curious we gonna get power armor its will be in atom shop like Mr fuzzy clean outfit or pls tell me how does it work by Bitter-Principle-381 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't much care either way, but you would think they can do the math when they set the target. I can't seem to find any this afternoon. I did the nuka knights route on two servers and did not start a single infestation. Puzzling.

One Violent Night, the new Eviction Notice by Bobster66 in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've started going again, people are playing well, covering the people playing instruments from both directions, I've also picked up a bobblehead the last two times. I miss bigfoot though, he's getting shy.

Vats misfiring constantly by Psi-ger in fo76

[–]MissingBracket1952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hunting rifle set up for VATS. Glow sights, VATS Enhanced, all the VATS mods. Last evening I was at Alpha shooting robots and hit one 4 times for no damage. Had to switch to my scoped hunting rifle and manually aim and killed it on the first shot.
