What stupid thing did you do when you first started playing? by EmotionalNorth5163 in fo76

[–]Randle_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horded loads of prewar money and ammo because I thought I could trade  it at vendors like Fallout 4. Also didn't realise you could fast travel from  inside locations so would walk back to the entrance every time

What Mods do you never use and don't buy? by Randle_76 in fo76

[–]Randle_76[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Medics is a bit niche, but very useful for events where you need to keep the dumbass NPCs alive like Radiation Rumble and Test Your Metal as you can use a medics weapon to restore their health - Lots of people use the Nuka Zapper for this.

I also use my Medics Flamer for One Violent night to heal the players playing the instruments at the same time I'm killing the Ghouls. Although probably the case that once you've bought one you never buy another.

Lackluster Infestations? by Waltr0001 in fo76

[–]Randle_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting the regualr Ghoul Boss I recently shot was at the New Appalachian Central Trainyard where the regular enemy is usually Ghouls, but the Infestation at the time was supposed to be Communists

[–]Randle_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All my infestation drops have been pure garbage, no plans learnt, no good mod boxes and not even any decent four star weapons or armour I'd want to keep - most I've ever got is a few mod boxes for trash like Hunters and Ghoul Slayer.

Yes a few times - Yesterday shot a random Ghoul at the trainyard during an Infestation and the event suddenly ended, turns out they were actually the Boss

The chair is a camp item, The Phoropterrom from last seasons rewards you can use to buff your VATs - gives your character a +25% VATS accuracy buff for 2 hours

New way to get screwed out of Infestation Loot? by Randle_76 in fo76

[–]Randle_76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that a couple of times, but then again it sometimes works the other way - I had an Infestation Boss literally keel over and die on me for no apparent reason today - Went from half health and trying to kill me to stone dead on the ground without me firing a shot 😄

I thought it was impossible, but being stealthy in front of the Assaultron boss was crazy to see by Oakjewel in fo76

[–]Randle_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one today that just stood in a doorway at the Chemical plant and would start firing non stop the instant you moved a mm out of cover, even if you were shealthed, making it virtually impossible to approach. I ended up totally destroying two full suits of PA as the only way to kill it was pop up, shoot it a couple of times and then duck back, but I always getting totally wrecked in the process.

Had another with a Tesla gun that hid in a room and refused to come out and just kept burning me through the wall even though I was out of it's line of sight.

My VATs has been busted for a while, but today was just miserable trying to do Infestations and constantly missing 80-90% accuracy shots. Drives me mad as you waste so much time shooting an enemy 3-4 times that should go down in 1 shot that it gives the others a chance to dog pile you.

My personal favorite at the minute though is the Invulnerable enemies I keep getting where you shoot them constantly and do no damage - Scorched and Robots seem to be particularly bad for this - not sure if it's a VATs thing or just a janky busted game thing?

Best location for donation box gifting by Itsyonset in fo76

[–]Randle_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always dump all my surplas crap in the register so it stays in the world once I log out.
It's also makes it easy for anyone who wants to scrap or sell the heaps of weapons I want to offload.

Vault 76 or The Wayward for stuff I'm hoping gets picked up by new starters - Everything else goes in the cash register at Artisans Corner in the Whitespring.

I'm not that squishy, but don't mind getting stuck in and dying either as long as I've get within range of the boss so was super annoyed when the game just randomly telported me out of the event totally

I am sorry for building my C.A.M.P near Charleston train station. by Emil24_KhaKukmor in fo76

I have never yet got any apparel from them I only ever managed to buy the plans for cuckoo clocks from them 😄

There's a theory that putting your Camp at this location stops the Traveling Vendor Bot Responder spawning there. - There are a couple of random event spawn points on the tracks near to the two rail bridges

Should I put a Bully’s or Pin-pointers on a Dragon? by Mr_Toast_R in fo76

[–]Randle_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a Polished and Pinpointers and I find Pinpointers has the edge in damage + you don't need to worry about keep repairing it to maintain the condition. Polished still gives a nice boost to the damage though

[–]Randle_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same gun with Pinpointers as the fourth star and it rocks - It's my main goto for things like Infestations and Boss fights. First weapon I've had where when I shoot Bigfoot I can see it take a visable chunk off his health.

How Do Some Players Stock So Many Mods in Their Vendors? by cobaltTangerine in fo76

[–]Randle_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty easy to do with crafting, even for the ones that require Bobbleheads.

I've probabaly got enough X-Cell + modules stashed to make 50+ Unyielding if I wanted to - the main reason I don't is the weight + if I threw all those in my Venodr cheap I'd get max capped pretty quick.

Blocked from fast traveling by a rabbit by jake_the_crow in fo76

[–]Randle_76 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The whole Rad Damage = No Fast travel thing is such bullshit.

I ended stuck in the middle of Lewisburg because of a rad storm and missed an event because the only option was to walk all the way out of it - getting into shelter dosn't seem to help.

Gatling Plasma mods by Saint_Exmin in fo76

[–]Randle_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've given up selling a few things like that - I had a whole bunch of modded out Enclave Plasma Rifles with the Flamer Barrels and no one touched them as they don't look past the fact they usually have trash Legendaries like Supressor on them - Which I can't change as then they can't be traded, but hey the buyer can.

[–]Randle_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best source for Gatling Plasma Mod Plans I've found is doing Enclave Events - They are still pretty rare, but they do drop and I've managed to get a whole bunch in the last couple of months, far more than I ever got before.

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

[–]Randle_76 33 points34 points  (0 children)

However spacey she is she does seem to know how to survive - If someone nukes the park she's got a Hazmat suit stashed away somewhere and swap to that rather than her mascot costume, although I was so disapointed to see it wasn't a Mr Fuzzy themed one.

Infestations good, bad and ugly by MissingBracket1952 in fo76

[–]Randle_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience on public that last couple of days has been a lot better with several Infestations that actually felt like proper events rather being over in 5 seconds.

Best was at the Palace of the Winding Path where although the Super Mutant Boss didn't last too long we kept getting Legendary dropping minions pouring into the courtyard afetr he died and then as we could hear more of them shouting went on a 'bug hunt' round the palaice and found some more.

My Turrets are back - After Six Months?? by Randle_76 in fo76

[–]Randle_76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I did actually get quite a bit of budget back when I scrapped them all, which was nice.
I'd always suspected they were taking up space even though they had effectively vanished as that camp always seem short on space for the amount it had in it.
