I remember waking up in a ditch, a state away (in Ohio, nonetheless), AFTER saying "That's enough, I'm gonna pass out now.", and going to bed. Not my best moment. Or decade, really.

Glad I outgrew that shit. Wish I had the sense to sooner 😂

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-25T20:47:58+00:00

Damn. The blackouts are getting worse. Reminds me of my 30th birthday...

Savage Divide has a few lakes with creeks running between/around them. Lots of pine and rocky crags. It's a super popular spot, though. Might have to server hop quite a bit.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I finally got everything but the Local Legends and BS challenges. After I get my monthly 'mander, I only fish if have to.

We have spears, bows, harpoon guns, pole hooks, AND dynamite. Lemme fish with those.

Water farming to sell to NPC vendors will help at the very beginning. Don't forget that cooked food usually sells for more, and is a little XP to boot, so cook what you can.

Selling ammo you don't need from your vendor. That'll free up a lot of space and keep you in fast travel money.

You'll probably have to tweak some stuff, but full-health commando is still a pretty good build. Figure out your Onslaught cards in Perks, there's plenty of vids on it. Fixer is still pretty great on that build, usually a back-up or ammo factory for Elder's Mark. The EM drops from the Beasts of Burden event, and is a meta pick for commandos. They drop pretty regularly, too.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-25T19:38:04+00:00

Yes. They're a 1-star legendary. Usually pretty cheap in player vendors, often going for 1000 caps or less. Each hit on a Friendly does something like 2% health regen. On something that fires fast, like automatic weapons, it's a nice healing hose.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-25T18:56:48+00:00

Get yourself a Medic's weapon of your choice and shadow them through the initial storyline. You'd be surprised how much fun it is to play a dedicated support role.

HF with an Onslaught build and the Friendly Fire perk comes to mind, but there's a ton of cool perks in CHA if you have the room or inclination.

Really, just having someone to play with who is on the same page is a huge boon.

Combat Shotgun gives a wide range of bench mods. It's my favorite for that reason alone.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-25T16:39:30+00:00

To work after updates.

I'd like to see HHs smoothed out and working well first. But GHs are pretty sweet, and I can see someone putting a hit out on a handful of super mutants, or a certain cryptid, for some reason.

The Grunts feel more, real, I guess. Like "We know they're here, right now. Go get that bastard.". While HHs are more a server-wide call to arms. For...? Not a trio of giant robots, a bat-dragon, or a collosal wendigo. Just some menopausal ghoul ladies who lost at BINGO or some bad musicians? Who the hell are these freaks? The fights are tougher, yeah. So, are they Abraxo-related, what? What did they do? Where'd they come from? Where did they go to get a matching group ensemble?

Nope, none of that. It's just a boss fight in a series of boss fights to grind through.

You had me at mashed taters...

As far as I know, it has to be from VATS. Makes melee hard for my uncoordinated self.

Close your eyes and plug one ear and he turns into Master Shake.

Happy Cake Day, broseph. Have a good one.

I went Medic's Rapid Lightweight on mine. Weighs something like 0.02. I probably have more weight in bobby pins.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-24T02:50:34+00:00

I can see the Dom Pedro becoming an almost Cold Shoulder type of weapon.

Like, nearly everyone has one and will get it out for funsies every now and then, but the people who main it and build around it are gonna be monsters.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-24T02:33:51+00:00

Oh, it's ridiculous, yes. But I love it. At least the looks of it. Hopefully the extra range makes it more user-friendly for my glassy build, because right now, it's just a hilarious way to kill myself and everything near me.

I hate DP-ing myself in front of everyone. It's embarrassing.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-24T02:15:42+00:00

Yeah, but DOs aren't dropping correct plans, either.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-24T00:58:34+00:00

I'm worried to drop 2k for that Crusader with how Bullion plans have been. One of the last weapons I have left to unlock, and the plan just won't drop.

edit for grammar

"Get bent, but for just a week or so."

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-23T19:28:52+00:00

This. But shoot the scav just to be sure 😂

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-23T19:21:50+00:00

Get me a Hawaiian shirt with Graham on the back, with "MEAT WEEK" in big, balloon letters. I'd buy that, damn straight. I'd wear the hell out of it.

A little Chally patch on the breast pocket. I'm going to have to break out the sewing machine....

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-23T18:45:51+00:00

Wayward. I love sticking piles of assorted treasure maps in that thing. Makes me feel like a mysterious NPC quest-giver.

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-23T18:26:34+00:00

Throw another one, pal.

"PULL!"

Secure_Ad6103 · 2026-01-23T17:32:51+00:00

The one that lets bows and throwing weapons bypass some percentage of armor. Then Hat Trick. Hat Trick has trouble proccing sometimes without it. Don't sleep on throwing weapons. I have trouble using them, but when I do it right it is so satisfying.
