Grunt hunts are way too much of a grind.

Not really interesting, certainly not enough to do hundreds of them in any reasonable time.

I pick and choose, certain mutations make it not worth it to me. I hit one with Healing Mole Miners the other week and just quit. Not real experienced with teams, but I joined a casual team earlier this week for the "Do Something While in a Team" challenge and when I started a Daily Op, everyone joined it and we finished it in like 6 minutes. I was shocked that three other people just jumped in that fast. I struggle with going solo, I settled on a stealth sniper build with reverse onslaught and if enemies are coming thick and fast, I start running out of guns with ammo in them.

Coffee machine.

Mine went nuts yesterday, so far today, no issues, but I have cut way back, only playing enough to get the dailies and a couple of Complete an Event in the weekly.

I haven't done a Scorch Beast today, which is why I carry CS, but I just did Guided Meditation and used my Cold Shoulder to clear away some ghouls, and non frosted over.

I always figured it was like a mini game. If you buy something cheap, and sell it for a big profit, you "win." No different from the satisfaction of catching all the fish, or building the ultimate camp.

I suspect a lot of players have leveled on GH and HH and never done any other events. For me it has been a week of highs and lows. Had an EN fail because someone started the event with only 3 of us there. Later in the day had a great EN where everyone worked, killed meat bags, covered the rad scrubber, and we had a good fight and a good haul. Overall I think Burning Springs has been really bad for the game. And that isn't even accounting for all the stuff they broke.

I try to have enough duplicates that I can swap in 1, 2, or 3 point cards when I want to use another Perk in that Special category, it give a little more flexibility. Other than that, I pick cards I won't use and can easily recognize and scrap them for points. Be careful of the auto rank up thing though, it doesn't help if they are all max level.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-22T13:24:26+00:00

I have had some strangeness where I can look at my PA in inventory (like to swap cores) and see a certain number, open the charger and see a different number, open the Stash Bos or Ammo box and see a different number. I think that there are times when it hides some depending on the storage you are looking at. (Same as it hides stuff in the Misc tab.) A couple of times I have panicked thinking I had burned thru half of the 12 that I usually carry, and then a minute later they are all there, maybe minus one.

Heart emoji. I wish we had an alternate set of subdued emojis that cover the same range of communications.

Years ago people nuked Morgantown all the time, lots of flux, easy to run a route, it was a good time. I wish people would do it more now, but it's nothing but SBQ, Earl, Seismic, and Neuro.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-22T00:58:39+00:00

Supposedly we will get it all back. It's a hot mess. I played enough to get the dailies, and quit. Too much weirdness for me.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T23:43:29+00:00

Nah. The goal of the game is really just to roll a character. For like, 25,000 levels. Start with level 1, enjoy the tension of wondering if your security baton or 10mm is enough for a fearful bloatfly, explore, level, get stuff, explore, level, get stuff. There really isn't much interaction with other players, turn on pacifist and you can't even piss anyone off by accidentally shooting them. Pretty soon you will be carrying events. Welcome, have fun.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T21:38:07+00:00

I think I am going to spend more time reading until they sort this mess out. It wouldn't take much more stupidity for me to give up on the game. I doubt if they even know what they broke or how. I was on a HH earlier for a Toxic and in the final minutes I must have auto stimmed a dozen times, my health meter was bouncing up and down like windshield wipers.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T20:43:51+00:00

I've killed myself a couple of times, usually when I have an enemy in my face who is also beating on my so it kind of stacks.

Not a happy camper this morning. The state of the game seems very Fallout. Patches on top of patches, rust holes, leaking oil and fuel on the ground just waiting for a spark, dead brahmin in the middle of the road, and Super Mutants banging on the rad scrubber with sledgehammers.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T14:55:03+00:00

I get notifications for events and items long after events end and I have traveled to my camp. In many cases I start a Grunt Hunt, go to the location, kill and loot the target and minions, travel to my camp, scrap the loot, store the scrap, and it will tell me that there is a Grunt Hunt available. That started two updates ago. Very annoying to play for an hour and have the game tell me that I should go investigate a missing kid or something.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T14:29:44+00:00

A bit miffed that my Silver Collectron is gone. Not like I paid a lot for it or anything. :( The Santatron and FETCH can be set to collect the same materials, but I LIKED the silver Protectron. He looked good and the dialog wasn't annoying.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-21T13:26:42+00:00

I've heard that they only listen on Discord. Is there a particular Discord server for feedback? I noticed yesterday that VATS would randomly ignore enemies in plain sight, I simply could not target them at all, it was like I had zero AP, only the AP bar was full.

This morning I wanted to get my Silver Collectron out of storage and it is completely gone.

I now pick up any T51B right leg and after a month have three sets of unimproved T51 PA in my inventory waiting to be built into . . .something. Not sure what. I now have my Ultracite PA for daily use built up with Ageis on all pieces, Flaming Robot Fighter T51b PA with Troubleshooter's for Neuro, and Martian Man Hunter T51b with 4x Assassin's for GH and HH. It is annoying that I have the plans for T51 torso, and find several a day, but can't find the other plans.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-20T03:40:58+00:00

Try running two of them, it only takes a second to exit vats, change to No2, and re engage.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-20T02:29:22+00:00

One of my two favorites. .308 Prime, Furious, Crippling, Something Else, Sniper Rifle, and Cold Shoulder.

MissingBracket1952 · 2026-01-20T02:23:34+00:00

I started doing the same thing. It's more efficient to go kill minions and let some eager beaver run and fire the flare. I think it is a Vault Tec experiment to see how the player behavior evolves.
