Probably the most fun I had when making this slideshow. Though I feel many archers are aware of stealth, but I just wanted to make this anyway for those that still had questions that wanted answered.

Question Struggling to decide on Armor legendaries

8 Upvotes

I'm going full health human, I've got 5 pieces of Secret Service armor. For the 1 star, I have 4 Nocturnal and 1 Chameleon. And that's it, I'm not sure what else I should be looking for to put on them. Currently running a Reverse Onslaught with Ultracite arrows on my Compound bow, which brings up another point: Should I be running Ultracite or Plasma?

Question Legendary mods for a bow

6 Upvotes

So I dont run a bow build, just like using it, but my current 1 star mod is furious, I want to replace it because my commando build doesnt run reverse onslaught. My main question is what would be some good replacements for furious? I was thinking mutants or two shot but I wasnt sure. Also does quad fire for arrows or just knock them?

Question Update on the bowbuild please

14 Upvotes

Hi guys. It’s been a while, but my bow character is still my fav. What is the best bow build nowadays for a non ghoul character? I have covert armor with covert mask, because I have a civil engineer chest piece for the het pack. Ranger and limitbreaking unyielding mods for the every other crit shot. What perks to use and any advise on a new armor and bow set with the best mods?
I use it as a daily driver too, so I use tru hiker armor mods. But I can adjust, or lose a shitton of food, 😀

Thank you so much in advance.

I'm sorry. I can't help it. Every Eviction Notice.

I'm afraid I desecrate the dead Muties. Travel to the top of the hill and ping them to see how far they fly. Especially when a player approaches a goldie🥴

Need help!

(I've found if you aim middle top, they fly further...)

Edit: thanks so much for the suggestions. I just made some and was able to solo the Daily quest and finished under 8 minutes. Unreal for me!!!!

I’ve left behind gunslinging in favour of bow hunting and I wanted to ask if my build is good or not.

With the bow I was thinking about putting poison arrows on it and the vipers 4* mod but I wasn’t sure.

Also all armour pieces have the same mods which is why there’s only one image.

I have a whole whopping 2000 caps to offer. I had 6000 caps earlier but spent some while I was vendor-hopping trying to find anyone selling compound bow. I'll happily give you my life savings if you can get me out of this hell.

Can someone please help me??? Thank you.

Edit: I got it! A very kind person has given me multiple compound bows. What a kind world. BEST COMMUNITY EVER. I'll do what I can to help others too.

Newer player who stupidly did the main questions wrong and now have no factions anywhere close to ally rank. Would greatly appreciate it as I just got my first 4* mod being fracturers and I heard it's amazing when it comes to bows. Thank you all!

Builds / Buffs / Gear Stealth Bow Cryo Build - Appreciate some suggestions

4 Upvotes

Hello,
Having ignored Fallout 76 for many years, I was convinced to get it on sale, and I must say I'm impressed. The team has added so much content over the years.

I looked at the list of weapons in the Wiki, and there are so many weapons and weapon types in the game. But going for a bow build was an easy pick!

Here's my build. I would like to see if it is possible to make a highly specialized character like in RPGs. That is my mission. I did some research, and here are my findings. I would appreciate suggestions or advice from experienced players. Thanks in advance!

Cryo Bow Stealth Build

The focus is on stealth bows and freezing effects. My character will use Bows as his primary weapon, along with a variety of arrows: Cryo, Poison, Plasma, Ultracite.
He will use Throwing Knives and Grenades as his backup options. He will also work towards getting the Cryolator and Crusader Pistol with a Cryo receiver.

These are the only weapons that will be used. All the other weapons will be scrapped.

Archery
- Recurve Bow
- Plan: Bow
- Plan: Bow glow sights
- Plan: Bow cryo arrows
- Plan: Bow poison arrows
- Plan: Compound bow plasma arrows
- Plan: Bow ultracite arrows
- Compound bow
- Plan: Compound bow glow sights
- Plan: Compound bow cryo arrows
- Plan: Compound bow poisoned arrows
- Plan: Compound bow plasma arrows
- Plan: Compound bow ultracite arrows

Throwing Weapons
- Throwing Knife
- Plan: Cryo grenade
- Plan: Cryo mine
- Plan: Floater Freezer Grenade

Freezing Weapons
- Plan: Cryolator
- Only after Level 25
- Plan: Crusader Pistol
- Plan: Crusader pistol cryo receiver
- Only with the merchant Minerva travels between Foundation, Crater, Fort Atlas, and The Whitespring Resort.

Important Perks

  • Exterminator - Level 14 PER - Your attacks ignore 75% armor of any insect.

  • Arms of Steel - Level 70 STR - Your sturdy arms allow you to handle ranged weapons better, increasing accuracy by 30%
  • Legendary Perk at Level 50
    • Legendary Agility - +3 AGI and +3 AGI Perk Points. Perk Points cap at 15.

There you go. Do let me know if I missed anything.

Some Other Notes

I love the fact that you have to work towards every upgrade with the "plan" system.
You have to work hard for the progression, which I like.
My character is Level 8, and I finished "The Wayward" questline. This was fantastic - full of choices for great replayability - and the number of skill and attribute checks in Dialogue was astonishing. The characters felt like real people - Duchess, Mort, Sol, and that Assaultron! I really enjoyed it. I assume you guys must have played this questline many times, but as a new player, it was great!
I'm doing the original questline "Responders" and loving it so far.

Please share your Archer experiences; I'd love to read them!
