Yeah I dont think I'd be keen on bloodied anyway, I do too many stupid things to have low health.

I dont know if I just have rubbish weapons but I seem to do a lot less damage than most others too, well apart from when I use the flamer but that isnt very efficient on ammo. I guess a lot of the weapon power comes from the mods that are installed so I should maybe try to concentrate on that?

Bloody Mess, Adrenalin, Tenderiser and Tank Killer if you are using rifles, most of those apply to any weapon type.

Then obviously make sure you have the 3 weapon related park cards, commando, rifleman etc for whatever it is you are using.

Then the legenary effect to go with whatever build, eg junkies with 5 addictions for 50%.


I don't do as much damage as some becuase I don't like using heavy weapons, which I think are the best, but again, they only work really well combined with power armour.

You do gimp yourself a fair but not going power armour in this game, but whatever, other than solo'ing earl or the scorchbeast queen I can definitely hold my own at most of the events.

I can run the nuke mission in about 10 minutes solo for example, thats good enough I reckon.

So, what's the best version of this to buy, the Pitt one?

 

[BeeP]

I'm not 100% sure but I think the Pitt is a quest or "expedition" inside FO76, I haven't reached it yet.

I paid about 8 quid for 76 during the steam sales, It's on CDKeys for about £7 just now, I just have the base game and I'm assuming the Pitt is available to me too.....best check with someone who has played it more though @BUDFORCE maybe?

Just get the cheapest one you can find. The "versions" available are just the standard game bundled with some skins and outfits. Everyone plays the same game.

Got all of the flux I needed last night, excitedly went back to my camp to craft my shiny new SS chest piece with jet pack mod only to find I was 1 adhesive short......RAAAAAAAAR STUPID HUUUUMAAAAAN.

Have you ever noticed that whatever you are short on the vendors never have?

So today I will be mostly wandering around looking for glue as I dont have a recipe for adhesive yet.

Adhesive farm time. Corn, mutfruit, tatos, purified water. Don't forget green thumb when harvesting and superduper at the cooking station.

Finally got the the Pitt this weekend, it's a nice little side quest I guess, nice rewards.

Still working through my cards to get a decent build, I stupidly scrapped a lot near the start so I could rank up a legendary card, I think I may have scrapped a few I now know I need....make sit more fun though right?

 

[SB118]

... I stupidly scrapped a lot near the start so I could rank up a legendary card, I think I may have scrapped a few I now know I need ...

Pretty sure i know the chorus to that song "Nah, never going to use that, scrap, ooooooh that's what is does, bugger."

Spot on, I didn't think I would be the only one, sure I'll not be the last either.

You'll get tons of perk cards going forward I wouldn't worry, it becomes a bot of a chore actually disposing of them after a while.

Any idea when Atlantic City is released, I know it is the 5th but at what time?

 

[SB118]

Any idea when Atlantic City is released, I know it is the 5th but at what time?

It's going offline at 3pm this afternoon, updates usually take 2-3 hours.

 

[AWPC]

Atlantic City update must be the most laziest content yet......its so tedious just more of the same...nothing new of any note...not sure they they even bother anymore with content updates the game is never ever going to get any notable content. 36GB of you will struggle to notice what's actually new or different!

 

[BeeP]

Played last night, took a whole 8 minutes to download and patch.

Not much of an update at all, hopefully a lot of background bugs were fixed, the new Casino missions are ok but nothing special.

Was it 36GB? thought it was about half of that.

pcmr vs console probably.

Yes as soon as i saw they weren't releasing a roadmap for 2023 you just knew they would just recycle existing content. Also removing Nuclear Winter and not fixing it was another smack in the mouth for the player base.

I only just found out that pressing "R" twice picks everything up, I'll have to remember not to spam that key anymore as I was always wondering how I collected such a pile of crap.

Now Starfield failed miserably Bethesda are looking to invest in Fallout 76 again...only took 5 years but a new map area Shenandoah national park is finally arriving in 2024

[SB118]

Isn't Shenandoah black bear central IRL?

Exploring could get spicy!


I'm guessing this has always been on the schedule though, they're going to guide new interest in the franchise to their cash cow.
