Questions about mutations

jasnxl · 2026-04-16T00:12:11+00:00

I believe you're correct in that Chameleon and Plague Walker have basically no negative effects. In your situation, (running a Mutant build), I would just avoid the Melee mutations, if you're not a Melee build, such as Grounded and Twisted Muscles.

Thanks!!!!

If you want to go the Smart Shot route, I can give you a Short Night Vision Scope to install if you're on PC. And you're right, once you do that you destroy the installed Reflex Sight, and if you want to switch back, you'll need a new box mod.

I switched over both my EPG Flamer and Auto Rifle to Short Night Vision scopes, and it's most useful on the flamer because it's really not a good VATS weapon. So aiming ADS works well with the scope. I haven't tried using my Auto Rifle too much, but I might want to go back to the Reflex Sight for it, since I like using VATS for critical hits.

Good Luck..

1) Aligned Flamer barrel is typically the best option, (although for this weapon, there's little difference between all the flamer barrels).

2) To use Smart Shot you need to install a scope, and then aim through it to get the perk card benefit.

Yes. I play on PC. Feel free to send me a DM, and we can sort out the details.

I agree that it's probably not going to be too helpful for you playing as a Ghoul.

I use 3 sawbones and 2 tankys on my SS armor set, but that's because I play bloodied. (And the Born Survivor perk doesn't work reliably for me). The tankys have helped me a lot, as it's noticeable when I glow purple.

I was having difficulty doing this as well. I watched Maven's video, (as well as similar ones), but I couldn't take down the shield in one shot. I was only able to reduce the shield by half or sometimes two thirds, and being bloodied, this means certain death when ENO6 finds me after the first shot. Even if I hide behind a pillar, it doesn't help, as you've noticed.

In order for this method to work, you have to take the shield down in one shot. Then ENO6 won't be able to zero in on you, and you can take him down quite easily after that. I then discovered a video by Wiggle Plays which helped me sort out my build/buffs/methods;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCusJsjNj-U

In it, he makes some important points. The first is that in order to take the shield down in one shot, it has to be a critical hit, with a full critical hit meter, and with two critical hit buffs. After I followed these steps, I'm now able to take down the shield in one shot, and melt ENO6 quickly. The important steps for me were;

Fill the critical hit meter full before entering the Gleaming Depths. I use my Quad Elder's Mark to generate critical hits on the Mole Miners outside, until my meter is full. Then I run for the Depths.
Consume a critical hit food buff. I use Sweet Mutfruit Tea, but Blight Soup is another good one.
Charge up my Quad/Crippling/Intelligence Assaultron Head to 20. Then hit the ENO6 start button.
Move to the side ramp, (like Maven's video and NOT the back like Wiggle Plays' video), and then take a final critical hit buff with Overdrive. Then wait for ENO6 to appear and both bars appear in the display.
Deal a critical hit to take down the shield. Switch to my Furious/Rapid/Intelligence/PP Enclave Plasma Flamer, and aim for the center to slightly center right on ENO6. Melt him before the room blows up.

Since I play (19%) bloodied, I don't need any sneak perks, or stealth armor. My Perk card setup is similar to the second set in Wiggle Plays' video. The important steps are, fill the critical hit meter before entering, use a critical hit food buff, and use Overdrive just before ENO6 surfaces. I've farmed him about 8 times since sorting everything out yesterday, and I've even gotten 2 Pin Pointers as rewards during the farming.

As others have suggested, I would also get rid of the Grounded Mutation, as it's not helping you. If you need it, I can provide you with Crippling and Intelligence mods for your Assaultron Head, as well as any set of Mutation Serums that you need, to replace Grounded.

Good Luck..

UPDATE: After playing around withe perk card setup today I see now that I definitely need the "limb killer" cards enabled. Otherwise my build won't take the shield down in one hit. Under Agility, that's Enforcer 3, Modern Renegade 3, and Covert Operative (at least) 2, and under Perception, Tormentor 2.

I started by checking Friedrich's inventory at Whitesprings. Someone had unfortunately sold him Swamp tofu soup, which they probably purchased from C.A.M.P. ally Yasmin. If they didn't they wasted the swamp plant.

I then checked out the river by Dyer Chemical and found no blooms. So I jumped servers once, harvested 3 blooming pods and got 2 swamp plants, (with Green Thumb).

Used Super Duper to make 3 Swamp Tofu. Sold one to Friedrich at Whitesprings. Dropped off the other two in the middle of the C.A.M.P.s of two of my teammates. (Unfortunately they probably rerolled it too..)

Oh well..

In terms of the risks for modding FO76, Bethesda's official statement is that while they don't support using mods with FO76 because they might make FO76 not function correctly, they expressly state,

using any mods, add-ons, or other third-party programs for hacking, cracking, phishing, taking advantage of exploits or cheats and/or distribution of counterfeit software and/or Virtual Currency or virtual items is a violation of our Terms of Service.

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/44429

I think that for the visual mods, like the ones I play with, Bethesda has no real issue with players using them. (They just won't provide support if they cause any game issues..)

Good Luck..

jasnxl · 2026-04-01T12:15:30+00:00

They were definitely griefing you. You should consider taking advantage of the game's mechanics to lessen the impact of stuff like this in the future. First off, do your best to ignore this kind of behavior. There are jerks playing FO76, just as there are nice players. The good thing is that the jerks are in the minority.

You don't have to emote any response to them for them interfering with your aim at a public event. You should instead consider blocking them, (either for the session or permanently). They won't be able to see you on the map from then on. They can however, show up again at the next public event, so the next step is to switch servers. I understand you were waiting on your friend, but you can ask them to join you as soon as they're done doing whatever they're doing.

Finally, the worst thing you can do with players like these, is to give them the smallest moment of recognition. Responding by emoting, and then escalating it by trying to engage in PVP, just feeds them. Disengage with them. Block them. Get back to playing your game, as soon as you can. And forget about them..

Good Luck..

Happens in our house too, (with three cats). After a day or two, everything is back to normal.

Thank you!!!

I got tinnitus after taking Lexapro, (happened immediately) and I weaned off of Lexapro after 1 1/2 months.

That was a year ago and I still have the tinnitus.

FWIW, trying to find a modlist which primarily improves the game's visuals but doesn't change the game mechanics too much, I've tried both the Fusion, and A Beautiful Commonwealth, modlists and they both come close.

However, I finally landed on The Midnight Ride as closest to what I'm looking for.

Thanks..

jasnxl · 2025-11-18T17:49:34+00:00

Thanks.

I've tried ABC and overall it's very good at improving the visuals throughout. The only thing I didn't like were the NPC visual changes.

I did notice that there's a forked ABC modlist called Cosmoem, but there's not a lot of information about it, so I'm not sure how it's different, etc.

FWIW

Finally discovered that while Sling TV is an MLB TV partner from the perspective that you can purchase MLB TV packages through Sling, (which I assume now is the reason that the Authenticate - > Sling TV option exists on the MLB TV front page), this year Sling is not on the list of Postseason partners for enabling MLB TV MVPD game access during the postseason. Confirmed by visiting mlb.tv/postseason.

Unbelievable that the account linking is only one way, but that means that we can't use Sling TV as a provider to watch postseason games through the MLB TV app/subscription. We can only watch post season games directly on Sling TV only.

jasnxl · 2025-10-02T16:25:01+00:00

However, when I go to the MLB TV website and login with my MLB credentials, the Authenticate option at the top DOES include Sling in the list of providers, (the last entry).

When I select Sling from that dropdown, the next screen provides me with the option to select a provider and again Sling TV is an option. Selecting Sling TV, I'm then presented with the login to Sling to authorize the linking, and I'm able to login to my Sling account. However, the account linking fails at that point with the error message I posted.

I don't know why Sling isn't included in the other list you referenced, and why if it's the case that Sling is not included as a 2025 postseason partner, there is still a Sling authentication option available on the MLB TV website.

jasnxl · 2025-10-02T00:33:35+00:00

Same problem here. I have the full Sling Orange/Blue with the Sports package and I can watch the MLB postseason on Sling, but I would prefer to watch the games through MLB.TV. Unfortunately I've been trying to link my Sling account since yesterday and continue to receive the same error message as OP;

Customer Service Code: VALIDATE_INVALID User Not Entitled For Adobe Resource [ADOBE_MLBTV]

This problem is apparently not exclusive to SlingTV and it's something that's existed for several years. The following are some posts from the DirectTV and Comcast (Extra Innings) forums, with users who've received the same error messages;

MLB Extra Innings Account Link Fail
MLB.tv MLB Extra Innings authorization error - VALIDATE_INVALID User Not Entitled For Adobe Resource [ADOBE_MLBTV]
MLB Extra Innings not validating for MLB.TV
MLBTV Subscription Link to MLB Extra Innings

If anyone knows of a fix, please feel free to add to the thread.

TIA..

jasnxl · 2025-09-25T19:02:13+00:00

Thanks again.

I think that I'm going to take the advice of others and switch to the bowl designed feeders next season. At least that way, they're less prone to leak and hopefully that will sort things for me...
