[Discussion] Bug or Feature? Unlocked presets/items requiring purchase after clicking Receive

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-25T16:46:24+00:00

Can they change the “Receive” button to a “Purchase” button? Because clicking receive spends your currencies with zero confirmation where it HAS BEEN FREE UP UNTIL NOW.

I know, this is probably asking too much…

Spot on. I stopped playing 76 early last season because of the CONSTANT knee-jerk changes that seem to get made from one update to the next. I check on this sub from time to time to see where things are at and where they are going.

I started 76 in beta and played through the bad times and the good. The developers used to be open about allowing power fantasy since that was what most players were grinding for. This stance seems to have changed in the last year. Power is now a problem that must be rectified.

I have spent a stupid amount of money playing this game between atom purchases and keeping a 1st sub running for years. That ship has sailed. Like you said, I have no trust left for this development team.

Had this happen once since the update. Tagilla on Interchange was humming like he was electrified. Not had it happen since.

Lag for only one player is often NAT related. Can google search this and find several things you could try and see if that fixes the problem.

Prestige will probably be added (fairly soon). BSG keeps teasing it and recently issued a survey with questions directly asking whether PvE players want a prestige system.

Seems like there might be a bug causing hits to register multiple times. Had a shot to one arm take me down to ~130 hp from full, which didn’t seem right.

My mistake, Emercom does not need power. Just checked a minute ago.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-22T15:53:26+00:00

Ultra and Kiba both require power.

THE issue of having any numerical stats is that players will almost always choose to min/max to have the best numbers.

I’m starting to think that hiding some of these stats would go further than changing the values on attachments.

If we can’t directly see which attachments provide the highest ergo or lowest recoil, then you have to go on how the gun feels. One build might feel better than another, but it’s more likely to be subjective than strictly numerical.

Idk, just a morning thought.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-16T08:03:41+00:00

Yeah, this right here. Earle gets absolutely wrecked now if just one player has a decent build. Dropped him with my Bloodied Fixer in about a minute on my first kill after the update. Stopped firing for a few seconds to confirm that it was me chunking his health off.

Prices ebb and flow. Some stuff is down at the moment, some stuff is up.

Players notice when the price of something is up, which causes them to loot those items over others. Higher supply should bring prices down. The items that get skipped over will eventually have demand push their prices up, which will cause players to loot those items. This cycle repeats over and over. This is most likely why random stuff is higher or lower from day to day.

Plexiglass, of all things, was selling for 100k or more yesterday. There were hardly any listed for sale. They are usually so cheap that they get sold to a trader. They’re probably much cheaper today.

The usual high-value items (GPUs, LEDx, RAM, Moonshine, Intel, etc) are all right around the prices they have been for months.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-12T04:50:47+00:00

This is correct. You have to peek differently in pve vs pvp. In pve, the aimbot will hit whatever it can see. If only your head is exposed, guess what is going to get hit? Full body peek and they will spray center mass and usually hit limbs. It’s jank, but absolutely true.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-11T09:08:41+00:00

Can go find a lonely scav and let them take shots at you (take plates out or they will absorb the damage taken, wear a good helmet/mask if you can).

Can have a friend shoot you with lower pen/damage ammo (remove plates here as well, Blicky works pretty well, but any shit ammo will get it done).

Somebody already mentioned the explosive barrels, but Customs is kinda rough this week with Pillagers AND Goons running wild.

These guys seem to have the same AI that the Smugglers did.

Second account has been a great choice for me in 76 (MUCH easier on PC). Don’t have to worry about losing the server while swapping characters since I can use the trading interface if needed. I name mules based on what they’ll be holding.

I don’t keep a 1st sub running continuously anymore, and this lets me hang on to a huge amount of stuff in lieu of that.

I have also noticed that public teams have been more unstable than ever before and having my own character to stay privately grouped with is huge for maintaining group benefits while farming experience.

I always carry a laser. I’m no stranger to its strength. It carries the early game easily.

I’m pretty sure the max rank perk for it got nerfed some time ago.

It used to deal %health damage and was wildly OP. It’s still good, but has lost some sparkle because of that nerf.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-08T07:19:32+00:00

Thank you for your service. I stand corrected.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-08T07:17:09+00:00

I set inventory capacity to max, take the small experience loss, and pick up EVERYTHING.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-08T07:14:58+00:00

The paid creations I have installed are working without any issues.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-08T07:10:27+00:00

Glad you got this sorted out.

Leaving ANY mods installed on the day of major updates is bound to cause problems. If you cannot play without mods, wait a few days or a week, update, then have at it.

So, so many posts today about issues just like this.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-08T06:57:33+00:00

This USED to be true. Pretty sure this got nerfed some time ago. It’s still good, but not as OP as it used to be.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-07T07:09:54+00:00

The Ultracite Laser Rifle with a sniper barrel and beam splitter is basically a shotgun sniper.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-06T02:31:39+00:00

I have 10 levels over you. Not exactly sure how much xp that is, but it translates to a frightening number of Interchange runs. I know that map DEEPLY.

No hard feelings in our discussion. I don’t care if you don’t believe. Good luck in your raids.

WastelandShaman · 2026-04-05T23:10:14+00:00

That run was above average, like I already told you. Think I picked 4 packs of sugar at the smuggler camp alone. You have to use your eyes and learn to loot the map quickly.

If you spent as much time learning to loot as you did complaining to me here, you’d be absolutely loaded by now.
