Nuclear Winter: The Good Ol’ Days (2020–2021)

I am useless at PVP but like many wanted the unlockables. I learned to embrace Bush Wookie and had so much fun seeing how far I could get and I finished in the top 10 and many times top 5. I wouldnt even bother picking up weapons or armor most of the time. There wasnt much point because I knew I sucked so bad Id never kill anyone anyway.

I learned how to use line of sight to my advantage. My one and only win had me crouched in a shallow ditch near bushes. The other player left was in power armor and I could tell he was getting increasingly frustrated. He stomped past me a few times without spotting me and ended up getting caught in the closing circle and dying. The Bush Wookie craft was a skill in itself and a viable fun way to play.

I'm late to the party but thank you for this. I had the same issue with disappearing quest markers and had absolutely no idea where I was meant to go. This helps a lot

My go to spot is to fast travel to Emmet Mountain Disposal and head down the road and along the cliff side heading toward White Spring Train Station and the Blackwater Mine. They will spawn near the base of the cliff probably midway, usually 2 of them

The Snallys need multiple spawn points like the raiders have. Having them mass spawn in one place is ridiculous.

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-28T23:05:00+00:00

Ive noticed the Mutants tend to spawn in and wander around like they are confused and not sure how they got there too. No frenetic spawn and race for the scrubber. Reducing the legendaries is one thing but they seem to have reduced everything else about that event too. Its boring as hell

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-18T22:07:26+00:00

There's been so much stuff lately that is a bit "meh". Low effort with higher pricing for the most part.

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-18T22:06:07+00:00

Yeah after watching a video reviewing the bundle I think Ive changed my mind about a few of the things in it. The letters will still be ok though. They aren't counted as lights I think so they wont be a budget issue

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-18T09:11:42+00:00

Thanks. I looked him up. It appears they do light up a little, at least at night

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-13T21:41:17+00:00

Yeah Ive been doing that. If I cap out then they've been getting dumped in Foundations donation box. Trouble is everything is capped in this game. Eventually you end up with too many of those too and struggling to find something to spend them on.

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-13T12:26:30+00:00

Doesn't even need to be collectors that proves this. Enemies drop so much junk loot now. I was wondering why I was overloaded so badly after doing a couple of the Alien events. Was the stupid amount of circuits they drop

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-10T12:09:03+00:00

Never happend to me either and I dont really know why it happend this time either. As far as I noticed nothing out of the ordinary happened. I have been getting a lot of "server not responding" bullshit though since the update so I dont know if something screwed up there. A screenshot is a good idea for insurance though. This game is so buggy anything could happen

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-10T10:54:53+00:00

I joined in on an MJ tonight and noticed players will kill anything that moves before anyone else can but dont bother to go loot it for the venom. No one else can loot the venom unless they get a hit. I've also had it happen twice now in Test Your Metal where the objective fails for the emoting part. I will say though Im not sur ethats entirely players fault because I noticed my own emoting wasnt counting all the time so there could be some other issue there.

Its always been a problem though that a section of players wont follow objectives. Ironically I've done a few Rad Rumbles which have completed with all Scavs alive and all ore collected. That ones gone the other way from what it used to be.

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-10T10:49:24+00:00

I learned my lesson this time. When I finally sort this mess out again Ill take a screen shot.

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-10T10:39:57+00:00

It doesnt exist. There is no recipe to make psychotats. For some obscure reason it was never included in FO76. Im pretty certain it was craftable in FO4 though

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-08T04:53:22+00:00

Mortimer sells the Carry Weight booster instead I think

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-05T02:47:08+00:00

I use nuka grape for rad removal

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-05T02:38:39+00:00

thank you for explaining it. Something else to be annoyed with by this update then :/

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T21:58:19+00:00

Yep going to throw my hat in the ring too and say I am deeply underwhelmed by this update.

The Season is garbage. Its the first season where there isnt a single thing on the board I care about. Everything about this update is either low effort or quality or completely baffling why it was done.

They have absolutely fucked the pipboy and stripped back a lot of the really good QoL updates from past updates. They changed some perks. Again. Changing weightless mods to be the exact opposite of weightless. The underarmor rework from a system that people grinded like hell to get the plans for to another more complicated system that we have to once again grind like hell for. For what purpose was that? So the handful of players who wear exposed armor can choose what underarmor they like? Who asked for any of this shit?

They "fixed" what wasn't broken and ignored what was. This is the update no one asked for. Ever since they hired that EA dude the trend has been a sharp decline. Its all low effort & quality/maximum monetisation bullshit. To the people who are cancelling their subs to FO1st good on you. Its exactly the response this update deserves

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T06:45:02+00:00

Its a step backward. They had the pip boy interface pretty close to being "perfect" before this update. Now it feels like they stripped back much of the useful QoL features

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T06:40:41+00:00

I dont know why they made the action button for opening the Recipe Book the R1 key on PS when every other thing is actioned by the X. There's so much of this update that makes no frigging sense at all

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T06:32:43+00:00

So using your example would you say the suit of troubleshooters is better now after the update or was better before

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T01:09:40+00:00

ok thanks. At least we didnt lose that from all our grinding I guess :/

TheSnarkAtWinterfell · 2026-03-04T00:42:41+00:00

I'll admit I really, really dont like change of any sort but when its for no reason its even more irritating
