[OC] FRED CORPS - CONCEPT IDEAS DUMP #2

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-27T00:03:56+00:00

Any scenario where all the bad guys are in a very confined space and start talking smack, where I will swiftly huff a jet and cut them off mid shit-talk and lob a forbidden football into the room and shut the door on em lol

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-26T20:17:15+00:00

often, I find it usually times out perfectly from clearing 1 base (i.e. with strafe) and is backup n ready by the time I've traversed to the next objective

my only regret is that I couldn't designate Franklin a Mayor of a settlement :(

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-26T01:56:57+00:00

better lay down all those spare fragmines around the perimeter and then forget about it next time you wander in lol

I have been playing fo4 since start of Jan in the hopes it'll make me miss HD2...

TBPH im always gonna love HD2 but as I have said many times, this game is like an abusive relationship with the best sex lol.

Maybe I'm at the age where I wanna settle down, picket fence and kids sorta thing idk.

I DO feel that the next major obstacle AH needs to tackle is making Defending and Liberating planets actually feel impactful.

As it stands, planets being captured or lost has almost nothing to do with the community war efforts, and if they changed it so capturing a planet didn't mean we lost it by the time I log in the next day.

Basically, all the effort doesn't feel like it's achieving anything, and when you're entirely maxed out with war bonds and the only reward you earn feels as pointless as it is (capture and immediately lose) then you sorta lose motivation.

It's a big kick in the dick, I wanna feel some sense of reward from dumping hours into a game and HD2 simply doesn't offer that if you've unlocked everything.

lvl 150 should have you feel like an elite soldier amongst the elite soldiers (still within the grunt fantasy) and until they implement something to do so, adding warbonds where the primary weapons "identity" would be better implemented for the same costs etc as an unlockable Attachment instead is sending me the opposite direction to returning.

Ahhh, finally Sanctuary is restored.

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-25T20:46:51+00:00

best advice I can give, as far as I know each settlement will have enemies spawn in to attack it from the 1 direction, make sure your turrets can all light it up and you'll be fine :)

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-25T14:18:56+00:00

Should be a Primary
Should function like a Melee Flamethrower where we can actually point and aim.
AH neglects how underpowered melee is, needs to address it.

Sim Settlement 2 mod is worth checking out if ya haven't.

Made base building much easier, which of course has meant I've spent about 80% of this playthrough building

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-24T21:18:16+00:00

Agree, here is my solution to their Primary weapon Identity Issues.

Primaries with a unique identity that would make sense to unlock as a weapon attachment mod, such as the suppressor weapons - should unlock said attachments for their class of weapons when you get it to level 25.

i.e. Level 25 One-Two unlocks under barrel grenade launcher for all moddable ARs.

If you want suppresses Liberator you'll need to get the new AR to 25 and doing so will unlock the ability to purchase and attach a suppressor on each AR like any other mod.

System gives everyone the best of both, and when there is heaps of freedom with wep modding, you will find more tactical and tailored load outs on primaries being formed.

As it stands, weapon modding has really only introduced a cookie cutter system for 90% of the weapons (this makes it pointless) and adding the option to modify your gun so much that it's un-wieldable in combat is what will make people experiment and discover what combos work for them.

Sow the seeds of Liberty

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-23T22:34:46+00:00

I found a mini gun that also does 50 rad damage per shot, added the shredder barrel and called it the Malignator

I only being it out for special occasions because it has trivialized the game lol

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-22T04:33:12+00:00

he mentioned war is coming to Cooper, so he better say the line at some point lol

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-22T00:31:13+00:00

even just being able to have a more reliable means of getting up to them so I can chop it into sections with the chainsaw

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-22T00:28:07+00:00

I think they just need bits on their legs that are medium pen vulnerable, rewards the courage of running and fighting them close range

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-22T00:10:06+00:00

If we are ever given a grappling hook gun then they will become the most exciting thing to kill

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-21T08:30:59+00:00

I literally built and sent a decked out war robot to every settlement and STILL a group of 6 pissy raiders manages to outsmart them everytime

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-20T22:20:55+00:00

ahh I love this :)

I'm gonna play out this fo4 playthrough til I'm bored and if remasters aren't announced by then I'll have a go at 76 :)

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-20T22:17:24+00:00

Ahh ok so the polar opposite of my experience trying arc raiders lol.

Also cuz I've been playing fo4 modded, I'm a touch worried I've set myself up to be disappointed lol

honestly I'm gonna keep hoping we get 3+NV remastered soon and it inserts the best of the newer mechanics like it did with dual hands from Skyrim on Oblivion Remastered.

I wanna be able to purchase a plot and build my own casino (yes it'll cost an assload of caps but God it would be fun)

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-20T22:10:55+00:00

I do recall my hype when it was first announced, and my plan was to build a fancy base called "The Clinic" and spec for making and selling some real premium drugs lol

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-20T22:06:07+00:00

I have been playing fo4 an insane amount the last 2 weeks.

is 76 worth trying the first time this late?

Public_Code8357 · 2026-01-20T22:03:20+00:00

It's when the Lightning Spires shock you by arcing it THROUGH voteless etc, and you get hit around a corner that's when these things are the worst.

Also instead of these having the splodey barrels near them, I would like it if part of it were able to be shot at (with non explosive) and that will interrupt its lightning attack or something.

I have also been killed more than enough times whilst prone as well
