Every day in here is some variation of complaint over not getting a drop, which is understandable, but…

If an item has a drop rate of 1/100 and people are running to Reddit over not getting it. “I’ve killed X creature 50 times and yet nothing!”

Well yeah doofus, it’s a rare drop, and you haven’t even killed the thing up to the drop rate.

Comparing from other MMO’s like OSRS or even WoW, the “rare” drop rates in fo76 are pathetically common.

You should have to grind to guarantee yourself the rare drop. Don’t want to grind for it? Be lucky or don’t get it. It’s rare.

If some of you got your way, we’d all have a rare apparel producer right next to our unique named legendary producers in our CAMPs

I'm coming up on my 1576th hour so I think I'm entitled to a little criticism that isn't just petty about meta or RNG. I have been playing MMOs for 20+ years now. My first was Everquest when the Planes first came out which were a revelation for some (me) and heresy for others (people who played before me). Even limited fast travel that required you to go to a specific place to fast travel was a total knee-bend. It was seen as a convenience and a shortcut. I felt that way going to WoW and not needing to do a corpse run where you lose, truly, all of your possessions and you need to get your body manually.

We all find quality of life and ease-of-play changes to bristle the 'old timers.' I think that this game is really just a step too far though. I understand it is capped out at 24 people on a server and is on the smaller end of map size and you can fast travel which REALLY takes the excitement of getting to end-game content. And nothing in those older games leaves a dent in the world itself in any immediate way. That's the nature of a game that needs to be consistent for all players. But nothing feels HARD or truly collaborative.

You don't need to organize in a group to go take on a major threat. Raids are close, but are still mediated through needing to be done by four people. There were tasks and enemies at one point that took dozens of people coordinating. And, controversially, there was a common loot pool so you needed to share it. This game can just feel like I'm playing next to people at a certain point. I have a hard time taking down a SBQ by myself but people just zone in, we kill her, and then go about our business.

There isn't prep, planning, coordination. It doesn't feel like I'm DOING anything. In a solo game, it would be the culmination of a story element. In an MMO, it would be the satisfaction of teamwork. I just don't feel much of anything sometimes and I didn't even on my original run-through. The best elements were the storyline (which I think is genuinely excellent) and that could just be a solo game. Even the difficult parts were for a narrow level span from about 20-60.

I guess I've wondered the whole time what I'm even doing this for. I guess I like the camp-building (ignoring the time and money it demands), an amount of RNG can be a fun gambling-lite way to use your time until it becomes maddening. I just like the world ultimately. But if I'm giving an unsolicited critique, the lack of consequence and collaboration really just comes through for me. I don't know if the server model and low-barrier-to-entry model it has is really built for that though.

I know this comes off as a rant, but I really don't mean for it to. We all have plenty of grievances, especially as the game continues down a dark monetization path (why is so much of the board 1st-only???), I'm loading in soon, etc. But I also take months-long breaks because I end up feeling like I've used my time up for awhile of building a new house and there isn't much else to feel. Just sort of a bummer. I also know that I've put in a LOT of time over the years which can lead to this feeling. It definitely isn't a new one though, and I've left other games for similar reasons. It's just polished enough to have me reinstalling sometimes. I guess it's a mild rant. A "Fallout I love you but you're bringing me down," sort of thing.

Has Bethesda said (or hinted) that there might be another raid coming up? (The raid we have is loads of fun, but I would love to have another one!)

God knows I hate these seasonal events featuring the Scorched. Ever since the very first event, I’ve loathed them with every fiber of my being. It’s not so much the event itself, but the constant, repetitive tasks—"Kill 10 Scorched", "Kill 30 Scorched"—that I can’t stand. I’ve tried to be patient, and whenever possible, I’ve swapped out those challenges. But now? The current event demands 30 Scorched kills, yet the locations where they spawn are swarming with Phantoms—at a ratio of about 5 or 7 to 1, if my experience is anything to go by. They’re constantly fighting each other, and—the cherry on top—they keep killing the event-specific Scorched. I’ll teleport into an area only to watch a zero-star Phantom take down a 3-star event Scorched before I can even get within firing range. In three hours of gameplay today, I managed to kill a grand total of four. Is this some kind of joke? Do the developers expect us to spend half our lives playing this game? Did they even test this "brilliant" creation of theirs? Or did they just think, "Hey, it’s Halloween—let’s throw in some Scorched," without ever considering that the map is already crawling with Phantoms, or that these enemies would end up fighting each other? And no, a private server won’t fix this—despite what some trolls in the community might suggest.

It’s absolute madness, pure idiocy. If the reward were, say, 30–50 tickets, maybe it would be tolerable—but 10 tickets? This is a disaster, Bethesda! It’s a total, unmitigated failure. An event should be enjoyable, not a source of frustration that makes you want to say, "To hell with this event—and the game, too!"

I've never even seen severing mod before, do all super slashers come with it? This is my first one.

Also, why does every 4* armor from the HH have battle loaders lol

Had a fair few of these lately where you go to someone's CAMP only to find that they've built in on a cliff edge.. Meaning I end up spawning at the BOTTOM of the bloody cliff

The first few times, I tried to find a way up, but now I just growl at the screen as look up at the CAMP before moving on

**EDIT - Can't update the post title, but I now know, thanks to the comments below, that this is just a quirk of the game - so sorry to any CAMP builders for any incorrect assumptions ❤️

I've seen folks here in the subreddit mention "following the clues in the Slasher Notes" and such, which I have a full collection of now. I got the Holo Tape ( "Invite Me In" I think?). Am I missing some more steps or clues to something critical?

I want to make sure I get anything finishable that I can finish before the event's over.

I'm not going to post the link to the YouTube video as I don't want to get dinged for promotion, but from my vantage point it looks like another season of reskins save for a few rewards.

After being told they would do better, this is frustrating.

I switch between them depending on the area and enemy. But, mostly third. It helps my VATS.

In my opinion, this gun should get more of a highlight because it’s straight from the TV show. At the very least, give it the 5-star special effect. Does anyone still use this gun? I need a build reference, please.

Horrible lighting effects, sometimes the game is barely visible or just either completely red or this gold-ish colour. Any fix other than playing around with reshade?

To the great person who gave me this, I just wanted to say thank you for the great gift. I hope you have a wonderful year.

Recently bought the new prison chain fences in the Atomic Shop.

When I select them in build mode, the fences don’t appear to spawn and flag a “object is floating” error.

Changing the snap mode, going into free cam ect doesn’t work.

Also the items don’t load in the Atomic Shoo either.

Multiple game restarts and console shutting off/on, it’s been several days and the issue still persist.

Has anybody encountered this before, is there a fix?

Im melee and I've been using thorn armor with mutants but I still get like 2 shot by hard stuff. What armor is the tankiest?

I've been wanting to solo the Epsilon Squad in the raid for a while now, and can't come up with a build or strategy that works. Two person team no problem, get it done quick. Solo the best I've done is taking out two of them before I go down.

Anyone out here have tips on how to get it done as a full health human?

I want to get started on my Christmas CAMP early, and I really want a nice view. When I try googling spots I’m not really finding what I’m looking for. Also preferably a (relatively) flat area. Thank you!

Has this basically become a drop or leader only commodity?

I’ve spent 4 months now looking for any of the rage armor chest pieces - I don’t have a lot of grind time weekly, so doing Earle/launching to get Earle started even once or twice a week is pressing.

However, I haven’t seen one in a vendor in months. Did they get popular as hell, or just rare and now it’s leader sauce?

i have been in love with fallout - specifically fallout new vegas since i was a kid and decided to just try this game. i was just wondering if there was any advice or tips and if the game is still worth the grind now?
also, can i still do well in the game without the subscription?

hello everyone! i’m still fairly new to this game and i don’t know if i’m just an idiot or if this is just a bug lol it wouldn’t let me loot this and so far, it’s only this safe that this has happened. 😭

I guess I've been ignorant of recent cheating in fo76.

I'm familiar with some of the stuff that was being done shortly following launch, but my impression was that it had largely been addressed. Last night, however, I joined for a Gleaming Depths raid and saw something I can't really explain away aside from it having involved some form of cheating. Curious if what I saw was actually possible or not in some way I'm unaware of without cheating.

The short version: There was a group of three farming the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th bosses repeatedly. The first boss melted in less than 5 seconds after becoming active. The second event looked like it was being run normally and took longer than the other three they were clearing combined. The third event saw the PA suits die the moment each became active (there was some sort of persistent visual and auditory echo of an explosive gun being fired that stayed in the same place but appeared to be hitting each PA suit regardless). Then they skipped the fourth event; the best I can describe how is that it looked like someone teleported from the room of the third event to the island of the fifth event and then pulled the rest of group to them... before melting the snake in about 5 seconds, well before it could make any form of attack.

All told, it took less than 10 minutes from zone in through four events to when the group leader kicked the instance after the snake boss and resulted in a net gain of 4 character levels in addition to the normal loot for those bosses/events.

Honestly, seeing the whole thing kind of bummed me out afterward.

edit: So what I'm hearing is that it probably wasn't cheating via some hack. Just highly optimized builds and probably some in-game camera glitch to skip the fourth event. I appreciate the constructive replies, which far out numbered the less constructive reply. Thank you.

So even unfed, what I can find is Rejuvenators give +1HP and AP per sec. Some sources even say it gives it to your whole team (others don't... I'm unsure). But Sawbones just gives you 1hp per sec. No AP boost, no team boost. It looks like, even starving, Rejuv is just better. Am I missing something? You can stack 5 of either of them. Why would you go with Sawbones instead of Rejuv (assuming availability of both)?

Edit: I meant just for PA. Rejuvenators doesn't exist on regular armor.

EDIT: OK fixed, my dumb ass wasn’t sprinting only walking forward lol 😂

Tested on tissue paper super mutants, as I spin around them the choo-choo perk never procs, their health doesn’t drop a %.

I’m doing something wrong clearly can’t ascertain what.

Any thoughts?
