If you struggle to catch a local legend using KEYBOARD when you have everything maxed out on your pole, just use a controller, the difference is night and day. I had around 50 + get away since the update came out, got my ps4 controller working today on pc and cought the first one that bit with improved bait, no rain just grilled fish at wavy willards. Good hunting.

I just reached level 100 in the current season, but didn't use FO1st. Since many of the rewards are FO1st locked, I wanted to know if any of them were worth joining FO1st to unlock and redeem.

Any thoughts, particularly from anyone who unlocked something that was better than expected? (Or the opposite).

Is that a Bug/Glitch? Why is that body like this?

I recently switched from PS5 to PC and with the current discounts I'm considering buying 76 on Steam. I'm around level 650 on Playstation and as far as I'm aware I won't be able to transfer any data across to Steam.

So my question is this: How frustrating/difficult is it to lose everything and restart from level 1?

I took a little bit of a hiatus and now I see these symbols on the names of some of my things. What do they mean? The diamon with the little glimmer thing

Salt of the Earth

TL;DR: Returning after a few years away, mostly solo player, level 177. Looking for a decent non-Power-Armour build that can handle endgame content. Currently considering full-health Commando but open to suggestions.

So, I've recently come back to FO76 after being away for quite a while and I'm trying to get my head around everything that's changed.

I originally played from around 2018–2022, mostly solo, and never really got into how groups and public teams worked. I did jump back in briefly when the new Vault content dropped, but got my arse handed to me and ended up giving up again.

When I stopped playing regularly, I'd hit a bit of a wall with the quests down in the Cranberry Bog. I've never launched a nuke, and I'm still trying to work my way through that part of the game.

One thing I've never really liked is Power Armour. Partly because I can't be bothered constantly finding fusion cores (yes, I know there are ways around that), but also because I've always felt that everyone running around in Power Armour is a bit lore-breaking. In my head, Power Armour was always supposed to be relatively rare military equipment, not something every second person in the wasteland has. I know it's a game, but it's one of those things that's always bothered me a little.

Anyway, I was originally thinking of going with a shotgun build, but after doing a bit of digging and bouncing some ideas around I'm now looking at a full-health stealth/VATS Commando build instead.

The general idea is:

• Automatic Fixer as my main weapon
• Quad Handmade as a backup
• Full health, regular armour, no Power Armour
• Focus on VATS, critical hits, stealth and survivability
• Eventually work towards Secret Service armour

I've already got a few Fixers, a Quad Handmade and a collection of other legendary weapons sitting in my stash, so it'd be nice to make use of some of them rather than starting from scratch.

As for what I actually want to do, I'd like to be able to hold my own in most situations. Ideally, I'd like a build that could solo the Scorchbeast Queen if I really wanted to, although let's face it, that's probably more fun with a group.

I'd also like to start exploring some of the newer content. There's the new Vault stuff, The Pitt (which I haven't been anywhere near since FO3), and a whole bunch of quests and areas that simply didn't exist when I last played.

I'm not really interested in squeezing every last point of damage out of the game, but I'd like to get to the point where I can wander around, do quests and take on some of the harder content without constantly getting my arse handed to me.

So I guess my questions are:

• Is a full-health Commando build still a decent way to go these days?
• Are there better options for someone at my level who doesn't want to use Power Armour or should I just give in?
• Is there anything obviously wrong with the proposed build, particularly with all the perk changes since I last played?
• And while I'm at it, is there anything I should know about public teams and group content these days?

I'm not married to the Commando idea. If a shotgun build or something completely different makes more sense, I'm happy to hear it.

I figured I'd ask people who are actually playing the game regularly before I start messing around with my SPECIAL points and perk cards.

Thanks for making it this far through my ramblings :)

Alo, before you ask how I got to 177 without doing the Cranberry Bog... well... I liked building.

Love this game so much. So chill and relaxing and great way to unwind after a day of work

I recently started playing again (lvl 160 something) and in most infestations/bounty hunts and ESPECIALLY the occasional proc of an uninvited after public mischief, there seems to be a lot of players who have melee builds and corner the boss, making it very hard to *not* hit them when trying to attack the enemy. Many times recently, I have been marked 'wanted' when I am just trying to tag the boss for credit so I can loot. And am killed right after the event ends/before I can loot which causes me to not instant respawn. Is there a tip on how to avoid accidental PvP? Just be super cautious and not use explosive/spread weapons?

Thanks for the help! It's v frustrating and wondering if it's just something I need to get used to or if it's a genuine skill issue lol

my bro doesnt play shooter games cos his aim is too bad and it frustrates him. even gta5's aim assist isnt enough. i convinced him to try fo76 telling him that you dont need to aim at all and vats do all the work. now i need to find a vats build that hits enough shots that he doesnt get frustrated again. can yall help?

Leave me and my missions be 🙈

Why the fuck doesn't anyone revive people anymore? Am I missing something?

Gonna try and edit my skin after this, keep yall posted on the bug.

Was cruising around in skyline valley looking for lost . Oh some blood eagles!! . Oh a random guy didn’t join in

If you have 7 mods advertised, why do only 3 show when I look in your vendor?

I've seen a number of posts about using this rifle & its supposed to be effective against any human in the above. How are you setting this gun up? I've tried a couple of different setups & it seems pretty weak to me.

Now I am set up as a full health heavy gunner Bulletstorm, Onslaught build so I guees that could be it. However for several weeks now I've been using the V63 Carbine without changing anything on my build & that gun hits hard. I run with it all the time now & use it instead of my usual heavy guns unless I really need to use them.

May have to set up a seperate build for the V63 Carbine & see how that affects the Radium Rifle.

I didn't get the first note after collecting enough pinte sized masks and stopped for the day. The next day I tried to get the note but it won't show up on the map and now I can't progress at all and do the seasonal quest.

Anyone else noticed that Kid at Foundation is dressed like the pint sized killer??

Ive heard Pinpointers is better for it as 4th star instead of Severing? what receiver is best? Any help will be appreciated.

If you’re the type who can’t wait for patch notes, or who digs through datamine threads every PTS, this one’s for you.
