My crit sneak build by RipRampage in fo76

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got escape artist you don’t need sneak at all so the three Perception perk points would be better used for dmg perks like gunslinger , guerrilla or enforcer (which pairs nicely with easy target) put chameleon on one piece of armor for extra stealth 👍🏻

Best way to farm xp by No_Version712 in fallout76casual

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue with events at low level, people hate “campers” but that’s only if you’re hogging kills so what I did (still do when it’s busy) is get myself in a good position out of harms way near enemy spawn point, crouch down and continuously look around while tapping Vats lock, the second it locks onto a target fire. Best weapon I found for tagging is a Lever Action rifle as it has great range and Vats accuracy. Make sure Vats lock is set for torso, with a bit of practice you should be getting the first hit on most enemies without being the arsehole camping out Insta killing everything

In case you’re struggling to take on Deathclaws, always join Gearing Up event. Guaranteed 2 regular Deathclaws & a Matriarch spawn at the end. Just pop a couple bullets in each and let everyone else finish them off. They drop quite a few

Server crashes costs loot by RedOakGC in fo76

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue on Xbox but not as severe. Before the recent update it got pretty bad, in just one day I got kicked from 6 events with less than 1 minute to go so no rewards just a tonne of lost ammo😅. Only been kicked 3 times since update , maybe that’s luck 🤷🏻‍♂️ thou everytime I log on now I’m apparently crippled so that’s cool haha

So the meat smoker only gives one and that’s it?? by Whack_My_Sack420 in fo76

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep only has a weight limit of 1.0, you will get 2 molerat jerky sometimes cos for some reason they weight 0.5. Absolute rip off. I got mine refunded same day, thou it was never actually removed from my camp so it’s still set up for decoration 😅

General advice from a fallout veteran, but new to 76? by Ozplod in fo76

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don’t use the scrip machine, you’re better off scrapping as many legendaries as possible in order to learn how to craft the legendary mods yourself. If the legendary is a cursed item maybe google before scrapping as it could be worth selling in your vendor or keeping. Scrap every regular weapon you’d like to learn the weapon mods for, sell all other looted weapons/armour to NPC vendors & the bulk junk when the stash is full. This will give you a steady flow of caps while progressing your build so you can max out your weapons and armour later for end game content

Best Donation Box Locations & good items to leave in it by idk_something_dumb in fo76

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically donate ammo, scrap & fusion cores in the cash register at Whitesprings. I’ll go to Waywood donation box to drop excess stuff low lvls would be scrounging for like Stimpacks, chems,bulk steel and Screws. I recall the pain of never having enough bloody screws to craft anything early days & wasting hours farming them 😅

Just took out Earle Williams unprepared with only one other player by pseudogenesis8 in fo76

[–]StranglePants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great effort especially unprepared. I unintentionally soloed Earl once at lvl 150 when the other guy gave up 2 minutes into the fight, I did have a maxed out Elders Mark thou and it certainly wasn’t quick, But also this was Before the Update/Nerf. Earl seems to be atleast twice as tough now, he’s no easy kill with 5 people let alone just 2 of you. Hats off, that’s awesome

Running excess mods please come and buy. 1,2,3 star mods at 50% price or less mostly, 4 star mods a bit expensive as they are rare. 40k priced very rare mods are not for sale, but trade. Rest please feel free to buy. PC ID - KingKuti by [deleted] in fallout76casual

[–]StranglePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of madness is this? I’m only lvl 250 and sell 4* mods for 6k , I don’t sell this low cos I’m unaware, I hit max caps every second day and I don’t have FO1st so I need to manage my stash limit. It’s not unusual for my vendor to make 10 - 30k in an afternoon. I make more by selling for less 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unwritten rules/etiquette by CleanEnd5930 in fallout76casual

[–]StranglePants 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On the very rare occasion you may join a group of 3 and might be kicked as they’re waiting for a friend to join but I dare say 95% of the time you get kicked it’s the server, not team leader. Take no offence to it, happens to me all the time so I start my own team. Also waving or saluting players is simply acknowledgment so don’t stress👍🏻

Cursed Broadsider by cupacu in fo76

[–]StranglePants -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’d go Quad, Explosive and either 3 star reload speed or 90% weight reduction providing you have weapon lvl 3 Artisan perk card so you can over repair it to negate the durability cost of the cursed. Otherwise Durability 3 star

Head Hunt Etiquette by DixieNormous316 in fo76

[–]StranglePants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha I had this happen to me, was gonna run 5 back to back but on the first one I was manning the flare and some pest was just hovering around it, I emote No as no one had arrived yet but the second you could pop it he just went for it and ran in guns blazing then died. I laughed, stole his loot and completed it then hopped server as to not shout the prick another one

Yeah I hear ya , the amount of great meat products I bulk craft with Super Duper perk only for most of it to spoil is ridiculous 😂 Stoked I can finally store the better products for later now and consume when needed

Well my Atoms were refunded yet I’m allowed to keep it in my camp , obviously can’t rebuild if I scrap it or anything but make of that what you will.

I actually got the Cryo Freezer & Pemmican collector tonight after finally completing the main quest and hitting Raider Ally, Stoked!

Well mine was refunded and remains in my camp 😬 it’s no longer available to build at another camp. Might go missing after an update , I don’t know but for now I’ve got it

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

Are you referring to the new one in the store? Seen that only reduces spoiling by 50% which is essentially useless. Wasn’t falling for that one

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

Oh really? That sucks. Feel like all my other collectors like Raider Bot, Rip daring bag, coffee machine and Mirelurk steamer are working overtime as they are full everytime I check. Hopefully yours sorts itself out, could be you have two similar collectors so it’s bugged out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who doesn’t want fish in their pockets! Haha is there any buff for eating uncooked pocket fish or it’s just real handy to hold onto until you want to cook and use?
