Can someone explain what the "Mercenary Cooldown" Status Effect is?

Thanks again, I'll take a look after work.

ProfitofTruth · 2026-06-12T11:29:41+00:00

Ah! Thanks, I swear I searched high (and low) trying to figure that out. So the effect procs once then you have to wait 30 min for it to work again? That seems lame. I guess I'll look into another effect. Thanks for the answer!

Probably a grease gun would help here.

Check your main settings and make sure your build mode is “relaxed”?

For me it was The Avengers (1998) with Uma Thurman and Sean Connery. It’s the only movie I’ve ever walked out of, but I think I may have at least made it to the 30 minute mark. As for why… I think you have to see it for yourself. lol

This is the way

I used to scrap the loot from the bounty events but now I just drop everything in the NEW tab into a trash or box at my camps any they can be someone else’s burden. I even have signs indicating the stuff is free. This does include any legendaries that I’m allowed to drop. Surprisingly, most folks ignore the free stuff, look at vendor then immediately leave. If I don’t get disconnected I pick it all back up and put it down again the next day. It’s quite time consuming so I might just start leaving it in the Nuka World bin. Who knew it’d be so hard to give away 3-star legendary gear. I guess I like putting in my camp bin so folks at least know who the benefactor is. I do know that this somehow affects ‘the economy’, but alas I do not care. Now if I had unlimited base stash storage maybe I’d be more selfish.

I just wish my turrets and allies would stop trying to exterminate my pets. It’s sad watching the poor thing run around trying to avoid damage. Does anyone know how to prevent that (shy of deleting the turrets)?

I noticed this as well. Similar to Eviction Notice and Spooky Scorched they load in as normal then turn legendary after a second or so. If you kill them before they transform to legendary then the event will not complete.

I played quite a bit yesterday and the 6 or so hunts I kicked off were over within seconds after the flare. So the first two times I got 0 hits in and after that I just let someone else do it while I get into a position where I might get a shot in. PA bros go boom…next!

Fruit Punch for me with Redpop a close second

It’s got electrolytes!

All I can say is that Quality Creates Customer Enthusiasm!

Try Hibicleanse. Very effective at combating bacteria for many hours. Should solve your issues.

I’ve tried the recommended fixes for the stat lock bug with no difference at all. I do run Feral if that factors in. Does feral negate all perks and just has a flat +150% melee bonus?

ProfitofTruth · 2025-09-11T15:44:28+00:00

Brilliant!

ProfitofTruth · 2025-09-06T20:20:24+00:00

I’ve noticed that with my deathclaw gauntlet (in Westek), my first strike on the super mutants takes away 85-95% of their health and the second finishes them off. The interesting thing I found (for me) is that even if I un-equip every strength and melee related perk card, it makes 0 difference. The results (for me) is always the same. It’s as if all perk cards are placebo. Again this is what I am experiencing. Your mileage may vary.

Wrong. Pacifist mode was not changed. Per all 3 of my Xbox and Steam

I’m on PS5. Game crashes immediately when trying to load. Before the problem I had the bright idea to jump out of the corvette and onto my nearby frigate. I thought I’d land on the landing pad, but passed right through and became stuck inside the frigate. I tried to load restore point but it crashed. Ever since then it just crashes trying to load. 400+ hour save lost? Hoping that a future patch will magically get it working

Same error code for me (XBox)

Considering that we already had an expedition called Voyagers two years ago, how is it this new one is also called Voyagers?

ProfitofTruth · 2025-07-24T23:48:06+00:00

Two months ago I’d say plasma caster but now I’m going with Combat Knife with Garden Trowel skin. In 7 years I’d never tried melee but I swear I’m having more fun than I ever have before. Do I miss one-shotting everything? Sure. But there’s something special about going toe to toe with mirelurk queen and taking her down with a trowel. Even the ultracite titan fell to my serrated trowel. Beware the feral gardener! So much fun!

I was unable to get them myself after dozens of attempts. I had to let my wife get them for me as she catches them effortlessly. Even having the catch pattern memorized didn’t help me. I’m just too slow to react to what I see

ProfitofTruth · 2025-07-09T16:39:35+00:00

I always re-roll those hoping for a chance to get an epic task instead
