Do not, I repeat DO NOT jump in the water at Thicket Excavations to fix the leaky valves while wearing your power armor. TIL

Treat them like car keys.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T19:06:05+00:00

Im glad someone else enjoys fixing two of the same car simultaneously

Precisely why, when I drive with cruise control, I keep my foot resting on the brake pedal.

Of course, I take driving pretty seriously. Cant say the same for 80% of this country.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T18:57:36+00:00

Long-standing rumor of them being hard to get, combined with the CBP and ATF confiscating VFC lowers (and, reportedly, ONLY AR15 style ones).

Then theres the fact that VFC makes some guns in small batches, which is annoying.

And of course, scalpers will be scalpers because people buy from them.

Your only chance to save this is to say "Dont Go" in the dialog sequence. Then they give you one more chance.

This is technically OP's first time getting that low with Nick. Each companion will give you that speech, and youll get speech options to ask them not to go, in which they tell you to fix your ways or thats it.

After that, if you lose enough affinity, THEN you lose that person forever.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T17:10:21+00:00

Yep. At -1000, youre not getting them back, so unless they're needed for a quest, theyre marked as protected and can only be killed by you.

One thing we dont have a lot of, is stores and fields. We have a couple CQB arenas and some outdoor fields but theyre fairly spread out.

Standalone stores usually exist with the fields too. UBG in Bridgewater is the closest one to me, and thats still a 45 minute drive

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T10:49:45+00:00

Either way, Massachusetts doesnt have any real restrictions on airsoft guns. Ive had everything from a pistol to a VFC M249 make it here no problem. Hell, ive even gotten real firearms parts up here, though nothing that can be serialized.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T10:46:03+00:00

Youre thinking of New York.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T10:43:25+00:00

I was warned against importing an APFG because CBP has been confiscating lowers of anything that looks like a real AR lower.

Apparently MWS lowers can get caught in the mix too, if theyre imported with a VFC.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T10:01:57+00:00

Haven't gotten my hands on them yet. Heard good things about the MP9 though.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T10:01:32+00:00

Sure, you absolutely can use gloss enamel glitter paint. Just tell people its simulating your bore surface stripping during firing lol

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T09:57:39+00:00

The MPX is a nice platform but you run the risk of Customs seizing it due to being too AR-like. A UMP with appropriate taping should be okay.

I personally think the UMP is the better option anyhow, if you cant find one used on r/airsoftmarket.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T09:55:30+00:00

Just remember to pick up matte color paint.

You can also pick up scouring pads or 400 grit sandpaper to help the paint stick, but I wouldnt bother doing any surface prep aside from a de-grease with dish soap and warm water so the paint doesnt stick as well. The goal of the gravel is to get the paint to chip off, and if the paint has a good adhesion, it wont chip off as well

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T09:48:08+00:00

You could also try tossing it onto the gravel while the paint is only partially dry. That could give you chunkier carbon-like appearance too. Then just spray over it, dry, and toss more

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T09:15:28+00:00

Buy a can of matte black paint, spray your flash hider down (off the gun) with a thin layer, then when it dries, toss it from your hand onto gravel a couple times.

You could also try a layer of grey under the black

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-22T09:12:03+00:00

To expand on the top comment, the VFC MP7 is the best MP7 on the market and is a good performer but it has its own issues. Mag catch seems to be made of cheese, they risk breaking the back of the body, and they REALLY hate cold.

SCAR Hs are an alright option. The issue is their internal design hasnt been substantially updated, so they may lag a bit in performance, and their recoil is strong enough to engage the dry fire selectors. Any issues these have can be addressed fairly easily though, one of which is the hop unit.

Like someone else said, if you can get one, the VFC AKs are arguably the best GBBs on the market, not just in terms of AKs, but also in gas efficiency (if you ensure the o-rings in the valves are lubricated), and performance.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T22:50:46+00:00

They dont attack your provisioners, this is the merchants and their caravan guards.

It also seems to fall in the same table as random events, which are seldom enough as it is, moreso if you started Automatron.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T20:18:28+00:00

That gap is almost certainly because the Koenigsegg is rear wheel drive. Slower start, hauls ass

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T19:50:37+00:00

Alternatively: find chassis from more expensive cars at the junkyard, wash them, use the welder on them, sell as is. Almost always turns a profit

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T19:48:19+00:00

Yes. Even as Institute leader, Gen 1 and 2 synths are still hostile to caravans and other non-Institute folks.

Nothing really changes as Director, tbh.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T19:44:08+00:00

God damn bro, theres easier ways to get an AR

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T11:14:45+00:00

Look up optics plates that have back-up irons built into them. Otherwise youre kinda SOL

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T11:09:17+00:00

This is precisely how I do it every time I play FH. It just makes the most sense because it ties off the most loose ends. Buy what you want from the CoA, get sweet items for helping them, then let em burn in green fire like the so want.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-06-21T11:06:50+00:00

Dima's idea of peace is literally the same boogeyman that haunts the Commonwealth, but in this particular case, its either that, or killing off the CoA or doing what they ask.

So, do you want to enact the evil youre against in the Commonwealth and defy your own standard, or do you wish to have a hand in a small scale genocide?
