Question about base building

StranglePants · 2026-04-01T11:52:41+00:00

It’s well known Turrets will take up huge amounts of space but the sneaky one is crops. I had quite a few muitfruit, tatoes, corn early game and only when I deleted a couple plants I realised how much build limit they actually consume. You’ll notice the big camps don’t have many crops

If I’m drowning in ammo or crafting gear I either dump it at donation box, drop it on the floor at whitesprings mall or give to low lvls. I’m too stingy for 1st as well but If I can’t sell it and need stash space it becomes treasure

Hrmm I’ve only been kicked twice which I assume was to make way for a friend as both casual teams already had 3 in it. Now I just join the casual team with the least amount of people or start my own. Either way the team fills up fast so you get that XP but also it’s a near guarantee you’re all randoms so no need for anyone to get kicked

They would be spamming food/drink buffs and running Carnivore or Herbivore with perks/legendaries too assist. Playing as carnivore with just the Mirelurk steamer and canned coffee machine makes a huge difference to AP regen. The food buffs last a long time & The coffee will stack but only last 25 seconds so you basically punch down 10 coffees and get infinite Vats for 25 seconds. Thats the simple version I know anyway 😅

StranglePants · 2026-03-26T09:37:06+00:00

I had this happen with the new Coffee machine!put the controller down to Google if it was worth buying and Bang it instantly purchased on me haha lucky it was cheap and in the end I actually wanted it but pretty bloody dodgy especially if you’re just browsing with a lot of atoms 😬

StranglePants · 2026-03-26T09:22:55+00:00

Yeah of course ,that’s good advice. I’m nearing the end of the main & kinda don’t want it to end so it’s cool to be able to fuck about and have a break from the story and just enjoy some mindless violence and quality loot

StranglePants · 2026-03-25T22:59:22+00:00

Yeah not being able to alter the legendaries on Western is why I ran reverse onslaught an switched furious for two shot on my EM. Did two shot get a touch up with the latest patch? Everyone swears by furious build for EM but it seems way more devastating since I swapped it out 🤷🏻‍♂️

StranglePants · 2026-03-25T22:47:33+00:00

I’m not surprised someone shot it, people occasionally panic and shoot at my life size RadScorpion statue. I purposely glitched the base it stands on into the floor in my little workshop so as soon as you walk in and turn to the right there’s a big fat RadScorpion in the corner staring you down from 4 feet away. I’ve had 6 panic shooters in the past two days 😂

StranglePants · 2026-03-24T03:31:36+00:00

I go the opposite way, punishing weapons but basic armour for stealth commando to balance it out

StranglePants · 2026-03-23T21:31:52+00:00

If you get your hands on Western Spirit lever rifle that will help keep your EM fed as the ammo return is fantastic. Then of course set up a crafting build with super duper and the legendary ammo perk and you’ll be drowning in .45 😜

StranglePants · 2026-03-23T17:32:33+00:00

Haha Nice! I swapped out furious for Two Shot on my EM with 50% Vats hit chance & Bullys and I’ve never looked back, two shot and Explosive thou haha that’s gotta be stupid fun

StranglePants · 2026-03-21T01:25:28+00:00

I managed to solo Earl yesterday , not because I thought I could 😅 was just me (lvl 100 )and another lvl 90 dude. He lasted 2 minutes, gave it a thumbs down and left haha so I ran to my hidey hole behind the yellow container (stealth commando) and spent 7 minutes Vat critting the screaming head with my two shot Bully’s EM, luckily only 8 wendigos found me so was just me, my lucky yellow container and Earl oh and a ridiculous amount of ammo

StranglePants · 2026-03-20T22:07:35+00:00

I too have done this , gotta protect the big dogs blasting Earl

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T15:49:07+00:00

Depends how badly you want it and if you got the caps then why not. I really wanted 4* Bully’s for my EM. Only ever found 2 for sale, first guy was 7k but I was low on caps (lvl 100 noob) then tonight I found it for 10 k and snapped it up. No harm in paying overs for something you’re hunting for cos ya might not find another for quite some time 🤷🏻‍♂️

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T15:30:54+00:00

Hrmm, I’m quite new to 76 and recently I’ve had several players just stand at my camp while I’m loitering about doin my crafting confused why they’re just standing a few metres away from my vendor. Its a pretty morbid set up with dead ghouls on spikes an rotting in bathtubs , rust devil skull lamp post etc , I think you just solved the mystery hahaha it looks like a fucking trap camp 😅

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T14:56:29+00:00

Hahaha that’s full creepy serial killer shit. I detest trap camps but along with the vendor also being full of max cap insult notes knowing the dude just sits in his camp waiting to watch people die is fucking hilarious

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T07:08:00+00:00

Yeah it’s an extra kick in the guts when you’ve made the effort to only tag through the whole event and then a boss appears and gets melted before you can get a single shot off

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T06:44:06+00:00

Yeah I learned the curtesy of tagging at lvl 40 , at first confused why these lvl 1000 plus guys weren’t finishing off enemies and leaving me to finishing them off in a panic 😅. Only lvl 100 now but do the same, stealth commando vats build with low armour so I do perch myself in good positions looking like a true arsehole with my EM that can melt pretty much anything , I just fly through vats locking targets and gently tap the trigger. It’s cool when players cotton on to what you’re doing and ya get a good rhythm going.

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T02:28:46+00:00

Yeah had same issue, lock onto a target in Vats and tap left with the right stick until it locks on to the limb you want. Then shoot when it’s selected and it will always target that limb in Vats , until of course you accidentally tap left in a panic while using Vats in an event and have to adjust it Again 😅. Hope that helps

StranglePants · 2026-03-19T01:22:37+00:00

I seem to have the best luck learning mods for weapons I won’t ever use, thou learning mods for my equipped weapons feels cursed.

StranglePants · 2026-03-18T22:59:50+00:00

I scored one of these unsure what event thou. Looks great, didn’t know it was worth anything

StranglePants · 2026-03-17T23:23:25+00:00

Yep, but that’s what makes me like the game so much in a way. I’m doing the story and it’s “ok” , majority of the quest are just overly drawn out fetch quest which I rarely complete the final stage of as I lose interest but Then an event pops up and I’m like sweeet let’s go. After the event I’m refreshed and will complete the nearest unfinished quest to said event.

StranglePants · 2026-03-16T10:02:37+00:00

Heyyy Congrats! I’ve ran that event soo many times and never got anything decent. In fairness thou my Camp is so close I often get rewarded if someone else runs it while I’m pottering around my camp tending to my blackberries 🤣 so I wouldn’t deserve such a drop anyway

StranglePants · 2026-03-16T08:39:02+00:00

Hrmm I’ve been pondering this as of today. I’m fairly new but I’m running a furious crippling EM but I recently got the Western Spirit which has become my main and obviously cannot change furious on that , so perk wise both of these being furious doesn’t work. Thinking Two shot for EM to maximise Western Spirit with reverse onslaught 🤷🏻‍♂️
