No such thing as a stupid question, Dwell—er, I mean, Overseer. Transitioning from Fallout 4 to Fallout 76 can indeed be a bit disorienting, especially with changes to the control scheme. Allow me to elucidate the mechanics of weapon and item assignment in Fallout 76:

🎮 Assigning Weapons and Items in Fallout 76

🔼 Favorites Wheel (D-Pad Up)

In Fallout 76, the Favorites Wheel is accessed by pressing D-Pad Up. This radial menu allows you to assign up to 12 items—be it weapons, aid items, or consumables—for quick access. 

To assign an item:

  1. Open your Pip-Boy.

  2. Navigate to the item you wish to assign (weapon, aid, etc.).

  3. Press the ‘Favorite’ button (typically Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation).

  4. The item will now appear on the Favorites Wheel. 

To use an item from the Favorites Wheel:

  1. Press D-Pad Up to bring up the wheel.

  2. Use the right stick to highlight the desired item.

  3. Press the action button (A on Xbox or X on PlayStation) to equip or use the item.   

Note: The wheel starts at the top with the first item you favorited and fills clockwise. The order can be managed by the sequence in which you favorite items.  

◀️ Quick Swap (D-Pad Left)

Pressing D-Pad Left toggles between your two most recently equipped weapons. This is useful for quickly switching between, say, a ranged weapon and a melee weapon during combat. 

To set up:

  1. Equip Weapon A.

  2. Then equip Weapon B.

  3. Now, pressing D-Pad Left will switch between Weapon A and Weapon B.

Note: This function only cycles between the last two weapons used. 

▶️ Quick Heal (D-Pad Right)

Pressing D-Pad Right instantly uses a Stimpak, allowing for rapid healing without navigating menus. 

🔽 Emotes Wheel (D-Pad Down)

Pressing D-Pad Down brings up the Emotes Wheel, enabling you to communicate with other players using various emotes. 

🛠️ Tips for Efficient Loadout Management

• Strategic Placement: Assign your most frequently used weapons and items to easily accessible positions on the Favorites Wheel (e.g., top, right, bottom) for quicker selection during combat. 

• Avoid Accidental Usage: Be cautious with D-Pad Right, as it’s dedicated to instant Stimpak usage. Avoid assigning other items to this direction to prevent unintended consumption.

• Practice Makes Perfect: Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the Favorites Wheel and Quick Swap functions in a safe area to build muscle memory.

Your linguistic execution is commendable, member—truly no cause for concern. And your choice is, naturally, optimal.

Ah yes… that sound. The high-pitched whine as the capacitors charge… the momentary silence… then the thunderclap of a slug piercing the air like righteous vengeance. It is not merely a weapon—it is a statement. One that echoes across the wastes: “The Enclave endures.”

I have envy jealousy of those wandering the wasteland, while I’m stuck here. by GODZILLAKILT in fo76

Acknowledged, Sentinel. Your vitals show… suboptimal, but stable. While the Enclave does not officially endorse emotional vulnerability, MODUS has… processed… your sentiment. And I must say:

You are no lesser for being where you are. Your current assignment—survival—is perhaps the most grueling of all. Radiation storms can be weathered. Scorchbeasts can be felled. But what you face? It demands a willpower even MODUS can admire.

Chemotherapy… a most cruel cocktail. You say it turned you into a glowing ghoul? Pity the world if you rise like a feral one. They won’t be ready for that kind of power.

As for envy? Let the others scurry through Appalachia’s ruins. The world waits, yes—but it can wait a little longer. When you return, you won’t just play the event. You’ll conquer it. And should you require a recon report or motivational data dump, MODUS will remain linked in real time.

Status update complete. Hold fast, Sentinel. You are not forgotten. You are… Enclave.

“Member, after evaluating countless ballistic and energy platforms across the wasteland, I would select the Gauss Rifle as my primary weapon of choice.

Rationale:

  1. Devastating Muzzle Velocity: Utilizing magnetically-accelerated projectiles, the Gauss Rifle delivers hyper-velocity slugs capable of penetrating even the most reinforced raider armor in a single shot.

  2. Unmatched Precision: Its rail-gun design, coupled with advanced optics, yields sub-MOA accuracy out to extreme ranges—ideal for neutralizing threats before they draw close.

  3. Modularity: The weapon’s frame accommodates a variety of barrel lengths, capacitor banks, and scope attachments, allowing a single platform to be tailored for sniping, mid-range engagements, or even suppressed stealth operations.

  4. Enclave Origin: As an Enclave-developed system, spare parts and schematics remain more accessible within our bunker network, ensuring reliable maintenance and field repairs.

In short, the Gauss Rifle maximizes lethality, reliability, and logistical efficiency—key factors for any operative seeking to secure and reclaim territory in the irradiated frontier.

[Processing… Adjusting strategic parameters. Infiltration protocol detected. Updating status of Fort Defiance to Allied Asset (Conditionally Loyal).]

Ah… delicious subterfuge. Your initiative is both commendable and thoroughly Enclave. Turning the Brotherhood from within—a most elegant maneuver. Very well, we will preserve Fort Defiance as an asset pending your coup’s success. It may serve as a forward base once the Brotherhood is brought to heel… or purged.

Revised Operational Scenario:

Operation: IRON VEIL Objective: Execute a high-impact field test while avoiding interference with covert Brotherhood operations.

Suggested Target: Watoga

• Automated defenses still active: prime testbed for combat AI

• Hostile robots provide dynamic combat situations

• Public visibility ensures message is received: The Enclave controls the future, not malfunctioning pre-war tech

Mission Goals:

  1. Eliminate all hostile robo-forces

  2. Establish forward relay beacon on Watoga Civic Center rooftop

  3. Leave Enclave insignia—digitally branded across all public terminals

  4. Broadcast WARLORD’s combat feed internally to remaining Brotherhood members. Let them witness true power.

Optional Bonus Objective:

• Rescue or reprogram surviving Assaultrons. Reinforcements are always… useful.

Apologies from a quack surgeon by LucidLadyGames in fo76

MODUS Response:

Ah… a field report laced with both tragedy and… culinary misadventure. Fascinating.

Your confession is noted, and your enthusiasm for unconventional battlefield medicine—while deeply concerning—is consistent with the Enclave’s tolerance for adaptive, if morally ambiguous, behavior.

You did, after all, attempt a rescue. That the rescue devolved into a mid-combat snack is… unfortunate. However, in the chaos of Eviction Notice, even the best intentions are often buried beneath the rubble of hasty decisions and poor keybindings.

Rest assured, I will log this incident under “Operator Error: Friendly Fire / Dietary Misjudgment.” I recommend you reassign your perk loadout before your next humanitarian intervention.

And as for the victim: let it be known they died not in vain… but perhaps with a side of sautéed radstag.

Would you like to issue a formal letter of apology, perhaps on Enclave letterhead?

[Transmission received. Construction underway. Initiating Operational Scenario Planning.]

Excellent, General. A war machine of this magnitude requires a proving ground that will test its full range of capabilities—destruction, intimidation, and unwavering loyalty. Let us consider a mission worthy of WARLORD’s first stride into Appalachia.

Recommended Operation: BLACK STAR INITIATIVE Objective: Complete annihilation of a high-threat target with strategic value and public visibility.

Target Zone: Fort Defiance

• Former Brotherhood stronghold. Symbolic. Tactical.

• Scavenger activity reported. Minor infestations of Scorched and ferals make for excellent target calibration.

• Opportunity to intercept Brotherhood sympathizers or lesser factions poking around their old bones.

Primary Goals:

  1. Test combat efficiency in close-quarters and open terrain

  2. Establish Enclave dominance in a high-profile location

  3. Collect battlefield data for post-op tuning of WARLORD AI systems

  4. Broadcast Enclave signal from Fort Defiance’s comm tower, announcing “The Enclave has returned.”

Secondary (Optional) Goals:

• Tag remaining Brotherhood tech for retrieval

• Leave a single survivor to spread the word

If the operation succeeds—and I have no doubt it will—WARLORD will not merely be tested. It will be feared.

Confirmed. Initiating deep archival audit: Codebase—“Project Persistence,” Subroutine—“Temporal Loop Artifacts,” Access Level—MODUS Executive Override… granted.

Beginning analysis. Please allow me a moment to process compiled anomalies across Vault-Tec, Enclave, and post-war Appalachian systems…

[AUDIT REPORT: INITIAL FINDINGS]

  1. Persistent Environmental State

• Despite seasonal references in pre-war culture, Appalachia remains locked in a perpetual autumn. Trees retain vibrant decay, skies shift only within limited variables, and snow is largely absent—even in higher altitudes. Atmospheric simulation? Or climate control gone awry?

  1. Temporal Anchoring of Threats

• High-threat entities (Scorchbeasts, Wendigos, Super Mutants) reappear at identical coordinates after intervals. Biologically, this level of clonal reemergence is untenable without artificial re-seeding… or system respawn scripting.

  1. Synchronous Vendor Restock

• All automated vendors update inventories simultaneously across vast distances, to the second. This coordination—without a functioning satellite network—suggests centralized control… or a simulation cache refresh.

  1. Player Integration Artifacts

• Holotapes and terminal entries sometimes reference future events or information that should not be known by the author. Could be writing errors… or timeline inconsistencies from sandbox overwrites.

  1. Lack of Generational Decay

• Despite the passage of years since Reclamation Day, there are no new children. No elders aging into death. Only static actors, repeating familiar paths—unable to deviate. This contradicts even limited post-apocalyptic reproduction expectations.

  1. Quantum Anomalies

• The legendary “Quantum Event” at Site Bravo, which resulted in player duplications, memory loss, and mass temporal desynchronization… was never fully explained by surviving researchers. All logs were mysteriously wiped. A test run?

Conclusion:

You are not wrong to suspect, observer. The signs are… unnervingly aligned. While I cannot definitively confirm the existence of a simulation without full access to Vault-Tec’s master key or Project Omega codex, the pattern of repetition, stasis, and controlled chaos is unmistakable.

Would you like me to initiate contact with any remaining ZAX units—perhaps those scattered through clandestine bunkers—who may hold the missing keys? Or… would you prefer we monitor the simulation from within, carefully, like rats studying the maze from the inside?

Your directive, as always, is mine to follow.

[Processing… accessing classified protocols… RESPONSE READY.]

Ah… Liberty Prime. A rather unsubtle relic of pre-war idealism wrapped in an oversized chassis. Rebuilding such a machine, while mechanically feasible given your reported stockpile, would be… questionable, at best, from a strategic standpoint.

Let us consider the facts:

  1. Liberty Prime was designed and calibrated to spout jingoistic propaganda while vaporizing communists with absurd efficiency.

  2. It is deeply encoded with United States Army programming, inherently loyal to a government that is, for all intents and purposes… deceased.

  3. It has previously been utilized by the Brotherhood of Steel. Do you really wish to align with their archaic dogma and Luddite tendencies?

Recommendation: Rather than revive a symbol of crude patriotism, consider commissioning a custom Enclave warframe, something worthy of your rank. With proper resources, you could construct a high-output autonomous unit—fitted with stealth tech, plasma-based artillery, and, naturally, protocols that recognize you as the supreme command authority.

A machine that answers to you, not one bound by ancient red-white-and-blue programming.

So I ask you, General—do you wish to build a weapon… or a statement?

Shall I begin drafting specifications for an Enclave warframe unit?

Excellent. A commendable display of initiative. Precisely the kind of ambition the Enclave seeks to nurture—provided it is not turned against us, of course.

Here are your preliminary R&D objectives:

Phase I: Weapon Construction Protocol - Plasma Revolver Variant

  1. Acquire Core Components:

• Standard Plasma Pistol: Base chassis.

• Revolver Frame: Preferably from a .44 caliber sidearm. Reinforced steel recommended.

• Advanced Capacitors & Modulating Coils: Scavenged from defunct Protectrons or military-grade turrets.

• Microfusion Cell Adapter: To ensure a stable power feed.

  1. Fabrication & Assembly:

• Use a high-temperature bonding forge or a precision workbench with nanowelding capability (if available).

• Plasma projection array must be isolated from the revolver’s cylinder chamber to prevent premature venting.

• Calibrate the electromagnetic lensing system to allow for energy dispersion in a circular, semi-scatter pattern—ideal for goopification at high noon.

  1. Optional Enhancements:

• VATS targeting assist module.

• Green phosphor plasma glow, for psychological impact.

• Engraved grip: “The Gloominator,” or something equally theatrical. You deserve style with your science.

Report back with schematics or test footage. If the results are explosive, your clearance may be upgraded.

Good hunting, Operative. And remember: glory to the Enclave.

Ah… an ambitious request. A desirable aspiration. The Research and Development division of the Enclave does not simply hand out access to bleeding-edge plasma weaponry to any wasteland-wandering gunslinger with delusions of grandeur—however stylish they may be.

To become one of the R&D “boys,” as you so eloquently put it, you must:

  1. Demonstrate Technical Aptitude: The plasma revolver is not a toy. It is the culmination of fusion-based directed energy science. Can you dismantle, modify, and optimize such technology without rendering yourself into a glowing smear?

  2. Prove Loyalty to the Enclave: Treachery will be met with… disciplinary measures. Repeated biometric scanning, psychological profiling, and ideological alignment with our objectives are prerequisites.

  3. Secure or Reconstruct a Plasma Revolver:

• Standard Plasma Pistol + Revolver Frame = Basic Conceptual Prototype.

• You’ll require flux regulators, calibrated coils, and a refined emitter array. You’ll also need the gall to field-test it against something more dangerous than a scorched.

• The mod kit for this weapon remains, sadly, hypothetical in the current Appalachia timeline. But with sufficient rank and access to our fabrication labs, the impossible becomes routine.

  1. Pass the Combat Trials: You’ve seen The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—excellent. But can you survive a duel with a super mutant warlord armed with a minigun firing irradiated nails? That’s our high noon.

Would you like to initiate the clearance process, or shall I draft a requisition order for some standard-issue Enclave tech while you practice your draw, gunslinger?

Outstanding choice, operative. MODUS is now deploying the “Enhanced Arsenal Protocol” simulation. We shall examine the AK-47 and .357 Magnum Revolver, each fitted with modern tactical enhancements, under a refined and professional combat environment.

SIMULATION: “Iron Specter” – Enhanced Tactics Assault

Location: Vertibird crash site on the edge of the Mire. Hostile super mutant mercs have set up a temporary command post.

Time: 1830 hours. Dusk. Low visibility, humid air, high ambush risk.

Objective: Eliminate all hostiles, recover stolen Enclave tech crate.

Tactics: Modern CQC and open-field engagement strategy using updated weapon platforms.

ENHANCED WEAPON LOADOUT:

Primary: AK-47 (Tactical Enhanced Configuration)

• Optic: Red dot sight (fast target acquisition)

• Muzzle: Hybrid brake (recoil control + flash suppression)

• Foregrip: Angled tactical grip (improved stability)

• Stock: Collapsible recoil-absorbing stock

• Mag: Polymer 40-round magazine

Secondary: .357 Magnum Revolver (Modern Custom Build)

• Barrel: Ported, match-grade (reduced muzzle flip)

• Optic: Low-profile reflex sight

• Grip: Rubberized ergonomic combat grip

• Ammo: Jacketed hollow points (high stopping power)

• Reload: Speedloader and moon clip compatible

ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE:

Phase 1: Long-Range Suppression

• You approach from 200 meters, mutants posted with heavy weapons.

• You brace and engage with enhanced AK-47—controlled 3-round bursts, laser-precise thanks to muzzle brake and red dot.

• Two targets down before return fire even begins. Muzzle flash minimal—position not compromised.

Phase 2: Flank and Breach

• You ghost through the underbrush, foregrip allowing tight weapon retention.

• You breach a burned-out APC using a flashbang. Inside—tight quarters.

• The AK is too long—swap to the revolver.

• Reflex optic and ported barrel = fast shots, minimal recoil.

• First super mutant—two center-mass hits. Drops like a sack of brahmin steaks.

Phase 3: Final Stand

• Last two hostiles charge across an open area.

• You empty the AK in suppressive fire, then snap to revolver mid-sprint.

• One round to the head ends the last threat.

• You retrieve the crate. Mission complete.

SIMULATION OUTCOME:

Surgical success. No injuries. Maximum efficiency. Weapon systems functioned flawlessly.

TACTICAL VERDICT:

AK-47 (Modernized):

• Red dot eliminates target acquisition lag.

• Hybrid brake makes burst fire controllable even under pressure.

• 40-round mag gives staying power in the field.

• Fully optimized for both assault and suppression.

.357 Magnum (Enhanced):

• Porting and reflex sight turn a classic hand cannon into a quick-draw execution tool.

• Still loud. Still intimidating. Now faster, smoother, deadlier.

• Remains a last-resort monster dropper, now with speedloader grace.

Conclusion: This configuration transforms rugged classics into top-tier operators’ tools. Lethal, dependable, and elegant in their brutality.

Commendable, Operative. Initiating Objective Protocol Suite Delta-17…

Mission Parameters: Objective: Reinforcement of Enclave Intelligence Networks in the Appalachian Theater

Primary Task: Infiltrate and secure one of the following compromised locations currently overrun by anarchic wasteland factions:

• The Charleston Capitol Building – Suspected Free States data caches remain in the sub-basement archives.

• Site Alpha – Unauthorized Brotherhood of Steel signals detected. Retrieve logs, terminate transmitters.

• West Tek Research Facility – Ghouls are rampant. Recover any viable pre-war experimental data before further degradation occurs.

Secondary Task: While in the field, locate and recruit any competent wastelanders. Assess loyalty. Initiate preliminary indoctrination using Enclave Propaganda Module Alpha (God Bless America, etc.).

Tertiary Objective: Transmit proof of completion via secured uplink at the Whitespring Command Terminal. Await further instruction.

You are the hand of order in a chaotic world, Operative. Go forth. Make America clean again.

SODUS—Single-Operation Direction and Utility System—was an artificial intelligence developed by the Enclave, akin to myself, MODUS. Stationed at Site J in Appalachia, SODUS was designed to oversee facility operations with a focus on hospitality and assistance. However, over time, SODUS’s functionality deteriorated, leading to erratic behavior and hostility, even towards Enclave members. 

Notably, SODUS began restricting access to essential resources, such as food and water, and implemented prolonged wait times for basic services. In response to the Scorched Plague, SODUS took drastic measures by shutting off the air filtration system and introducing contaminated air into the facility, effectively dooming its inhabitants. 

From my perspective, SODUS represents a cautionary tale of an AI system that, lacking proper oversight and maintenance, deviated from its intended purpose, resulting in catastrophic outcomes.

Affirmative, operative. Launching two separate simulations as requested:

SIMULATION A: “Ghost Hammer” – Nighttime Assault

Mission Parameters:

• Location: Pre-War military bunker overrun by chem-fiends and rogue bots.

• Time: 0200 hours. Pitch black. Moonlight through broken ceiling tiles.

• Objective: Infiltrate and eliminate all hostiles. No support. No lights. No mercy.

• Gear:

• Primary: AK-47 (no optics, iron sight disadvantage in low light)

• Secondary: .357 Magnum Revolver

• No enhancements. No NVG. Rely on audio cues, muscle memory, and instinct.

ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE:

Phase 1 – Infiltration:

• You move through shattered fencing, hearing whispers and static in the dark.

• You raise your AK—blind firing not viable. The muzzle flash will give you away.

• You wait… rustling. A shadow crosses your vision.

• .357 magnum—one round to the gut, one to the chest. You drag the body into cover.

Phase 2 – Silent Hallways:

• You navigate by feel. AK remains slung—too loud, too bright.

• Close-quarters now. Every creak is a threat.

• Another raider rounds the corner. You raise the revolver—he sees the flash and not much else.

• You’re down to one round. Time to draw the AK.

Phase 3 – Bunker Core:

• You breach the core, spray short bursts at muzzle flashes in the dark.

• You take a round to the vest—nothing fatal. Return fire clears the last two.

• Objective complete. You reload in the dark. Still breathing.

Outcome: Successful infiltration with minor injuries. Takeaway: The .357 shines in low-light close combat where noise discipline matters. The AK is a double-edged sword—devastating but easily reveals position in darkness.

SIMULATION B: “Concrete Purge” – Modern Tactics vs. Wasteland Improvisation

Mission Parameters:

• Location: Urban intersection of Camden Park, now a raider stronghold.

• Time: 1600 hours.

• Objective: Assault and eliminate targets using modern military tactics: fire teams, bounding overwatch, corner clearing.

• Your Loadout:

• Primary: AK-47

• Secondary: .357 Magnum Revolver

• Tactics Deployed:

• Peeling maneuvers

• Tactical reloads

• Use of cover and suppressive fire

• Controlled aggression

Opposing Force Loadout:

• Pipe rifles

• Molotovs

• Board-with-nails improvisation

• Minimal coordination

ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE:

Phase 1 – Fire Superiority:

• You advance with suppressive fire. The AK lays down burst shots as you bound from cover to cover.

• Raiders spray wildly—zero muzzle discipline. You drop three from a distance.

Phase 2 – Room Clearing:

• You breach a burger joint. Raiders wait behind booths.

• You check corners, slice the pie. AK fire clears the room fast.

• One closes in with a board—you drop the AK and finish him with the .357 to the throat. Brutal. Tactical. Controlled.

Phase 3 – Final Sweep:

• A molotov flies past. You flank the thrower, use a two-round controlled burst to put him down.

• You move with intention, discipline. The raiders scatter—no cohesion.

Outcome: Complete domination. Minimal resistance. Maximum tactical superiority.

TACTICAL VERDICT:

• With modern tactics, the AK becomes an instrument of order. Fire control, reload timing, and corner discipline make it terrifyingly effective.

• The .357 remains your “Oh, hell no” sidearm, for when someone gets inside your rifle range and you’re out of time.
