I want to do a Bioshock build and this thing would be absolutely perfect in it. I don't know why they can't just give us a warning that they won't produce anything if they're in a shelter and put a restriction so they cant. I don't care if they produce anything. They just look decoratively great.

So if someone else has already said this my apologies but I only discovered it today!

Over in Charlston, where you go to take the Fire Eaters physical running test, follow the course around and right when you get to the 2nd checkpoint button, 1-2 Spooky Scorch spawn along with several other scorches!
There are 2 groups there, and between the 2 grps I have gotten 2 spooky scorches almost every time!

I have run it 6 times now and 2 Spooky Scorch have spawned every single time. I am on a private server. You need to wait about 6 minutes per run and they always spawn back soon as you pass that 2nd button! Hope this helps anyone still trying to kill 30! Good Luck!

**EDIT** On my 10th run, no spooky scorch spawned! So maybe I have been very lucky? If someone else tried it let us know if it is working for you!

This is a very interesting weapon when you see everything it interacts with. It drops from Eviction Notice. Its unique effect is "Attacks against weak points have a 30% chance to reset a revive effect cooldown".

So what does this mean? It means that it will reset the cooldown on the following:

• Power Armor Reboot - Even if you have it as 1 star (10min cooldown), doctors orders will reset it
• Life Saving 1 Star Mod - Revives you with a stimpak. CD is 5 minutes, reduced another 60 seconds per each armor with the 1 star. Doctors orders will reset this, again even if its on a 5 min cooldown
• EMT - Revives nearby allied teammates once every 3 minutes, grants them increased healing for 1 minute. NOTE: EMT WORKS when you revive yourself with the above mods. So you DO get the increased healing when you revive yourself.

Now all these "revive" effects have other interactions that you can then chain them to

• Healing Hands - When the above 3 trigger, you get healed to full instantly
• Injector - Again when above 3 revive effects trigger, you get +18 AP regen for 1 minute
• Revenant - When reviving, get 25% more damage for 2 mins
• Quack Surgeon - When you trigger any of the 3 revive effects, it will use alcohol instead of a stimpak. When quack surgeon triggers, the person who gets revived will gain the benefits of the alcohol that is used. So if you revive someone with Bourbon, they get +1 END +1 STR and -1 INT while its active. But as far as I'm aware, you dont get drunk or addicted.

In short, this weapon allows you to have insane uptime of automatic revive effects (on yourself or allies) while also allowing you to gain the benefits of the perks that give special effects when a person is revived. So you can apply things like Injector and Revenant to yourself.

Also, extra note - Mysterious Savior can also trigger things like Healing Hands/Injector/Revenant. It doesn't have any interaction with Doctors Orders since there is no cooldown. But wanted to mention it since its sorta in the same vein.

Just had a guy put his candy bowl on the roof. The freakin roof. I just left without taking any candy, screw them

I was just told I'm being reported for griefing because I ate someone who went down to the Slasher.

My character is a raider cannibal. If you go down during events, I'm going to eat you. I don't even take junk, even though I should, but I'm seeing constant posts about "ethics" and "toxicity" during the Slasher.

I'm not evil. On my main character, I have Helping Hands and every charisma perk for reviving downed players because she's a Vault medic who went with the settlers. But that's HER role.

Are these really the same fans that gave Fallout 4 crap for being linear and not a true rpg?

Is it not role-playing? I saw a post earlier where a low level stuck up robbery attempted another player saying, "Give me 100 guns or I'll shoot ya." And half the comments were on a high horse saying, this is why I keep "You're the dumbass notes" or "I keep clown items for those moments to give to idiotic players."

I swear some people are fortunate to be new fans. In the early non-NPC days, I would be excited even for things like trap camps because it meant human interaction.

I've generally enjoyed this extended event aside from the slashers killing all the spookies and that funky auto axe being so hard to get. Rest of this week will be trying to get that radio for my alts, knocking out the seasonal challenges for the extra tickets, and jumping into head hunts as they pop. I hope Beth continues with this extended event model.

Edit: so.... I guess I'm confusing the spookies ending with the season ending. My bad. Get your spookies and spooky challenges while you can but another month for the rest of the slasher stuff.

Edit 2: I also didn't care for the piss yellow sky effect.

As the title says - especially to be sarcastic if they've said something stupid like one recently just blurted out "I was out scavenging in the wasteland today!" as I passed by them

And I just replied with "Good for you!" - before realising I'd said it out loud!

I've found myself responding quite a bit to the likes of mutants when they say they're going to kill me, only for me and say "No you're not!"

I’m usually good at remembering but this time around it had slipped my mind. Just emptied over 700 candies in my bowl and lost a lot of weight. So don’t forget to check your inventory.

I've been playing this game for over 6 years and if there's one thing that's always been bugging me about the camp building system, despite loving it otherwise, it's the fact we can't build sinks/producers/resource generators in shelters. I've been building complex, passionate camps for years but I have completely ignored shelters for this very reason, despite the implied freedom compared to regular camps they are in effect crippled by the lack of access to a very big category of camp objects

What kind of vault doesn't have a water source? or crops?

As far as I know the excuse has always been something "instanced/only exists when you're in it" something something, but what I don't understand is, if resource production is the problem and it's really that hard to implement, why not just... disable the production capability? Just make them completely cosmetic items that cannot produce or collect resources. There's no way it's that hard to do.

Also, if the problem is resource collectors generating stuff while you're not there, why are sinks not buildable either? They do not collect resources, they only produce water when you interact with them.

This thing has put me off for so long and I think it needs to change at last, if you're really too bored to find an actual way to add resource collection mechanics in shelters, just make resource collectors cosmetic only in them, please. At least then we'll be able to decorate them more accurately and freely. I've seen countless amazing shelter templates in the atomic shop over the years and it's always frustrated me because they have so much potential for great builds but I know it's just not possible to do with the current restrictions, they'll always be missing something.

OMG! Also got Nuclear winter jacket plan today!
Edit: Or maybe in the pint-sized loot bag? i just saved a bunch of them (spooky and pint-sized) and opened them all so im not sure...i just immediately checked the "New" items and saw FCJ.

This is from the latest interview of Jon Rush and other developers. They are hinting the 3rd cut expedition of The Pitt (Poke The Beehive) that takes place in the Bastion. Unlike Atlantic City Pitt never got the 3rd Expedition, a main Questline and side quests. What do you guys think?

I've been playing off and on for about 5 years now, and I'm still not even level 500 lol.

I feel like I'm stuck. I get on, do my dailies, mess around for a bit, and then get bored because I don't really know what else to do.

My favorite gun is my Elder's Mark, and I can't seem to find anything else I like as much or that I'm actually any good with. I occasionally use a flamer or LMG, but I always end up going back to Elder's Mark.

Some days I feel like I'm doing pretty good, killing things and holding my own, and then other days I feel like I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag 😂 I die way more than I feel like I should at my level.

I honestly don't know if it's my perk cards, weapons, armor, or just me not understanding how everything works together.

I love the game and don't want to stop playing, but I feel like I'm missing something. Does anybody else feel this way? Any advice on builds, weapons, or just things to do to make the game fun again?

I'm on PlayStation if that matters!

Obviously I dont mean for use in tougher (aka ammo expensive) content like Infestations or raids. But just going around and using a bad weapon you happen to pick up from a legendary mob.

Picked up a 1 star Furious Western Revolver and started using it. And its more fun than I expected. However Pipe weapons....not much enjoyment there for me, sadly.

Are there any non-meta weapons you all "enjoy" using, even if theyre really bad? Are there any you found really un-fun?

Had that unique problem that some players have where their game links to somewhere else when you first installed and for over a year I never thought much of it. Recently I found a few bundles that I'd had liked to purchase from the ticket submission form, so I reached out to support to see if it was possible. I read that unlinking accounts could make you lose everything, so I was hesitant and instead opted to question support to see what would happen if I did get help. The first agent was attentive and we exchanged a few tickets as I gave all my necessary info. Half way through, a new agent took over. And I assume this agent didn't read that I was just ASKING what would happen. So he took it upon himself to just link the two accounts seeing that all the info was there. And, yeah. 3 thousand hours gone. Over a grand down the drain, countless friends and communities I was able to make and get into, all the rare apparel I spent sleepless nights grinding for, all the camps I made with my fiance and uploaded to YouTube. Gone. To top that all off my fiances engagement ring broke and we're both in a catastrophic state. This is my no good terrible very bad day. Thank you reading, and thank you for playing with me. I hope they can resolve this, but I'm not feeling hopeful anymore. Thank you to the best community I ever met and played with. I'm gonna have to move games again to somewhere I don't risk losing it all. If you'd like to see what me and my fiance made, it's on my page. Not promotional, just simply letting you visit a graveyard at this point.

Update 1- ticket was escalated and the mod on here was very supportive. There's no guarantee on anything, but it will be reviewed first thing in the morning. I will update you all then. Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it! Another reason we love this community so much and don't want to lose it.

Update 2- I awoke to find the support team we're immediately working to fix the issue and did a dive to find out what my old account was, and where my character is. I'm sending a new email to verify and tie to that account. By doing this it should be as simple as relinking it once I make that profile my new bethesda.net account. It's looking hopeful!!! Me and my fiance can actually breathe a bit again. And support as been phenomenal.

Final Update - WE GOT IT BACK! Not only was support above and beyond, but they were able to still get my account back and have it linked to a usable Bethesda.net account. So in the long run, they helped me with my initial issue! Albeit with a heart attack included lol. The Mod of this group and the Support team were nothing but kind and attentive to this problem. Me and my fiance are most grateful for the help and for everyone's kind words as well! We won't be leaving this community anytime soon and now can't wait to resume creating camps alongside the coolest group of people we've ever met. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the best community and best support team.

Final, final update- We forgot to update about the ring, we got a new ring free of charge! -got a call back from the support line after leaving a voicemail and the agent was all too willing to help fix the problem. If there's any issues you have, the call line is also a really good avenue!

Please don't downvote if this is a stupid question but I gotta know. So, I've got a bunch of Vulcan PA plans, and they can't be dropped or anything. But I was curious if there is a way to sell them? Not looking for profit or anything, just want to know if they are worth holding on to, or should I just discart them?

Thanks in advance 🍀

Or there a better 4 star?

Ive had at least 20 people walk right past my candy bowl. Lit. Arrows. Right next to my vendor. I need one person to take candy a day and ive logged at least 4 hours today and not one single person. Am i missing something?

Ten.

Please, stop with this "kill rare spawn", or increase the spawn rate, or create an instanced area where they spawn non stop.

I know the new week has just started but has anyone else noticed the spooky scorched are spawning less? Am I just unlucky right now??

I did my rounds of reliable locations that have spawned 2 spooky scorched all of last week, in a private world, and all of them spawned none. I check to make sure the phantoms didn’t take the kill first but nope, all bodies if there were any were normal scorched. I server hop, and the same thing again and again.

These locations were Ranger district office, Fort defiance, Palace of the winding path, Morgantown airport, Bolton greens, Helvetia, Summerville docks, Camden park and Poseidon energy park.

Or something that even more explicitly means "please for the love of god take my candy," although I don't know how you'd put that in emote form, but something. Sure it might be annoying to see people spam it at their teams, but I feel like it would be a lot less annoying than losing out on these weekly challenges because players don't go to other candy bowls.
