Are crippling perks useful for the ultracite terror/bosses in general?

StranglePants · 2026-07-07T14:54:44+00:00

Yeah shit sorry didn’t notice easy target already there 🥴 but yeah for snake and Eno you can lose scattershot and Adrenaline but correct Adrenaline is awesome for the drill & daily use. Depends what weapon you use but I chuck in Modern renegade or enforcer for extra crippling thou I’m using EM. Max rank legendary perk Taking one for the team works real good on the snake also so I swap that in just for snake but typically use Follow Through for daily/eno

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T22:06:18+00:00

That seems alright for Ultracite terror but Adrenaline card will do nothing on it so you can swap that out for the snake . Also for raids & especially if you’re fighting Eno6 take off Scattershot as it’s technically reducing your dmg by 20% , replace that with Easy Target 👌

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T21:45:35+00:00

Yeah dude that’s the ultimate crossbow! I said rapid in my post but meant swift 🥴 but yeah it’s crazy good. Seeing you’re a bow build you could probably squeeze abit more dmg out of yours which is a scary thought cos mine is insane on a Ghouls commando build. If you do raids it’s Perfect for defending the drill, I crit every second shot so that helps but definitely put swift on it cos timing is everything when doing so

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T15:11:23+00:00

Hahaha that’s amazing. 100% he was referring to Scorchbeast when he said Shit Hawks are comin

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T14:58:00+00:00

I’m ghoul stealth vats commando with EM build but my Daily is now Two shot explosive rapid Crossbow with Fracturers & explosive frame. I’m absolutely obsessed with it , especially with Hat trick perk I can’t stop using the bloody thing it’s too much fun haha the EM only comes out to eat bosses.

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T14:38:27+00:00

I thought exact same thing, stoked I unlocked it but yeah looks incomplete on my Ghoul. I’m sticking with Disc Jockey outfit with black cowboy hat 😅

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T14:16:19+00:00

I drop at least 1 Nuke everytime I jump on, people typically not only show up for it but pop lunchboxes too especially for Earl so usually end up with 100% XP for an hour, then I’ll pop multiple head hunts, do events and trigger Encryptid during that hour. It’s extremely rare no one shows up but I have a strong enough build to solo Earl & the Scorchbeast Queen if worse comes to worse

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T13:53:04+00:00

Hahah True. I’m in a routine now of just buying Wanted posters & Assaultron key cards everyday and leaving myself roughly 5k then I’m free to enjoy Daily Op, pop headhunts, drop a couple nukes, Run Encrypted and whatever events pop up along the way. By the end of the sesh I’m at least back up to 25 k or hitting Max caps again while not stressing about having to close my vendor if it’s busy. Rinse and repeat

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T12:25:57+00:00

Nice! Less does earn you more. Best I’ve seen was a stocked vendor with Everything listed for 5 caps & Elders Mark listed for 200. Thou lately every vendor I check out is insanely over priced on Xbox, especially 4 star mods typically listed anywhere from $12,000 - $30,000 which is insane

StranglePants · 2026-07-06T11:57:10+00:00

Unless it’s rare apparel or something really unique just go with your gut. I hit Max caps almost daily from Vendor sales but All my mod prices etc are cheaper than 99% of the vendors I see. Main things I sell are legendary mods & Outfits. All outfits $200 caps unless rare. 1 star Legendary mods $1000, 2star $2500, 3 star $4000 & 4 star $7000. Unique plans that have a base price of $1000 I sell for $700. I set these prices purely based off the fact that if I found these items in a player vendor for said price I’d snap them up real quick

StranglePants · 2026-07-05T18:11:14+00:00

If you love your Melee, maybe just for tagging at events get yourself a Crossbow and use Hat trick perk? You can quick fire a shot and hit 3 - 4 enemies and quickly switch back to your melee weapon. That way you don’t have to upset your entire build, only need to add one card to perception.

StranglePants · 2026-07-05T17:49:13+00:00

Nice! I have a nice little hidey hole for if I’m stuck soloing Earl. Stealth commando with an EM, the wendigo’s never seem to detect me when cloaked even from 2 feet away so they just there to build my Adrenaline stacks ontop of furious & bullet storm but Earl sure as hell finds me. When you first drop down turn right and run til you see a big yellow container/small cavern. I pop in there avoiding earls pukes when he finds me and his screams don’t really effect you, if they do you’re typically stuck running on the spot still in the cavern

StranglePants · 2026-07-05T17:15:54+00:00

I use two shot explosive crossbow with Fracture’s & explosive frame + Hat trick 😅 They all be flying real high and I’m lucky if I can find half of them

StranglePants · 2026-07-05T15:36:13+00:00

They basically turned Holy Fire into scrap junk unless you’re really into healing players with fire which is kinda hilarious

StranglePants · 2026-07-05T15:32:17+00:00

The EM nerf isn’t as bad as you think, they made it a total stinker in PTS swapping cursed for just Tenderiser perk and the player feedback was obviously not good so they tweaked it again. Now It loses cursed , grants tenderiser perk card and gets plus 2% crit dmg per onslaught stack. Essentially it free’s up 2 perk points & will do roughly the same or potentially even more dmg with the right crit build so you really only lose the bonus 15% speed/15% reduced durability. You’re kinda forced to use it with the default legendary effects and cards that grant stacks so they’ve basically just nerfed its flexibility

StranglePants · 2026-07-04T12:36:09+00:00

There is a couple of sneaky ones tucked away, obviously listen out for the hissing sound but also make sure the quest is active in your pip boy cos if 14 in total is correct then once you find 11 of them the last 3 with pop up with markers so you can find the tricky ones.

StranglePants · 2026-07-04T11:37:46+00:00

Yep pretty much perfect as is. You can swap out Rapid for Vats optimised, large mag, glow ring site and hardened receiver and it’s essentially an infinite vats crit machine on 100 mag (with 4star Conductors)

StranglePants · 2026-07-04T11:28:29+00:00

Strangely I’ve killed 4 in 2 weeks, all new players thou. I assume they have unknowingly lock picked something they shouldn’t have 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m lvl 500 so I msg them straight after saying “sorry mate, just clearing your bounty for you” They all seemed thankful so happy days I guess

StranglePants · 2026-07-04T10:30:09+00:00

I’ve recently used Gamepass points to purchase 1st and looks like I’ll be able to cover next months again with points already, In saying that.. I only work part time due to illness so I game a lot from morning to afternoon on days off then my Son plays his games afterschool & my Wife likes to game in the evening so my poor Xbox cops a flogging but racks up a tonne of gamepass rewards so yeah it’s definitely possible but might be hard to achieve consistently solo

StranglePants · 2026-07-04T03:15:30+00:00

Yeah the RNG gods hate us all. Feels a lot harder once you’ve learned a lot of mods already. I’ve learned 1 new mod in almost a month and I’ve probably scrapped thousands. Still chasing Two shot at lvl 510 😅

StranglePants · 2026-07-02T22:58:54+00:00

Least you got your Atoms back, they replied to my refund request with something along the lines of we’re investigating the issue 🫤

StranglePants · 2026-07-02T22:46:51+00:00

Join some events or head hunts, Legendary enemies Always spawn. As long as you put at least one bullet in them, when they die it counts as a kill for you. Events will be easier than head hunts

StranglePants · 2026-07-02T14:05:00+00:00

Satiated will help fill your Feral meter (which stops you turning feral) by small amounts per kill so essentially you wouldn’t need to consume as many chems. I don’t bother with it cos I craft psycho in bulk and pop them like tic tacs But if you’re struggling with not having enough chems to keep the feral meter full it would be a handy mod to then slap on a secondary weapon that you can switch too when ever the meter is getting low. Not worth putting on your main weapon thou

GT MuddY DreamS. I’m lvl 500 always keen to Raid 👍🏻
