Fallout 76 - online Fallout spinoff from Bethesda - now on Steam with Wastelanders NPC expansion

But you're clearly the one who is so butthurt about people playing a game you don't like

 

Yes, I can barely sleep at night.

 

So I'm seeing a lot of very high level guys with light armor and rifles, and it seems like a cool LARP vs. being a walking mecha. I also like the feel of a suppressed rifle.

I don't want a stealth-sniper, but more of a commando w/ suppressed AR (see avatar)

If i go that route with a rebuild, will I regret it later, or is it a safe meta for the foreseeable future?

 

Just do whatever you think is fun imo.
At level 50+ you can spend a levelup on moving a single SPECIAL point around rather than picking a perk card(still would take a while to respec, but it's possible.)

I use power armor because it's like my security blanket. I'm so safe and secure when I'm inside a walking weapon of mass destruction.

 

If the gatling was changed to work as intended it would be really awful. Would need a yuge base damage buff.

 

rusty_shackleford Let me present you with my deepest apologies mate, making fun of the disabled it NOT okay, and I should know better. I can also assure you that I bear no bad ill towards anyone just because they enjoy playing this insectarium simulator live service, as it should be clear by my deep, deeeeep posting history of 30 (with this one) entire posts in this thread, as most of it is just silly banter with other users about non-fallout shit, such as spiders, furry’s and probably your personal favorite, sucking dick.

I merely found highly entertaining that someone 15,000 fuckin posts in this hell hole still hasn’t figured out how to reply to more than one person with a single post, resulting on your sorry ass filling half or more of each page in the thread with 1-line posts such as:


Post 1: *quote* Yes, that is a very pwetty picture.


*2 minute break*


Post 2: Today I ran out of baked bloatfly, so I ate crayons.


DO NOT confuse this with me saying that you shouldn’t do it, or is wrong to do it, as I stated, I merely find it entertaining, I guess that’s something we have in common, we are both easily entertained with shit no matter how dumb it is, so, please, do not feel somehow attacked, I never intended to hurt your feelings, and I fully endorse that sort of autism.

I hope we can just put it all behind us and be friends now.

I just hit 66. I'm trying to bank my perks cards.

I'm currently heavy gunner. I assume switching to AR will take at least 30 levels or so to do it right as I've been unlucky with my pack draws.

I don't like using PA 24/7 because it's noisy and the UI isn't great and I worry about burning fusion cores. I'm enjoying speed demon + marsupial and being a bit more mobile with a smaller form factor. The squishiness is a thing though for sure.

 

It has the (imo crappy) FO4 power armor UI enabled by default. What the game doesn't tell you is that you can disable this. It's either in the gameplay or video settings to disable powerarmor UI, just uses the default UI with an extra bar for your fusion cores.

 

People don't use power armor all the time because the dmg bownus from sneak attack + silenced weapon perk on a headshot is just tooo good to pass on. Plus you are fukn slow in it.

The only "meta" that is in question would be bloodied (and maybe junkies), because bloodied just outclasses everything. If I use the LMG I posted above from stealth, I deal 5 digit dmg numbers and Beth's shitty PvP "anti cheat" dmg cap is triggered, locking them at 1hp for a while. Even before the VATS bug that does that all the time now.

But that's independent from what weapon you want to use, so you can safely pick whatever you want (unless you are a min/maxer). And commando with a silenced handmade is very meta right now. Went through too much 5.56 ammo for my tastes tho, so I did not opt for it.

In fact, I built 'dexi as a flexible build. All the important PER/AGI/LCK perks fit in to be a good sneaky sneak sniper, yet enough INT/STR to use the mandatory perks for power armor. Rifleman/Commando can easily be switched if I want to go automatic for a while.

Speed demon + marsupial are just sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Well, all mutations are. Except grounded.
I suggest you look for cheap shitty 1 star bloodied armor parts. They are not meant to protect you, but to increase your stats and carry weight. Since AGI makes you a better sneak.

 

Bliblablubb I got told this is a 'god roll', thoughts? What's it worth?


woops, cropped out the name/type
It's an Unyielding Robot Right Arm(Study, I think?)

 

I have no idea. Never got into markets. Without a mule account to bypass the caps cap (heh), there is no real point selling them in your vendor.
That type of drop would only be traded for another "god roll" anyway I guess, so you would need to look for trade channel.

HOWEVER!

I assume the market is not very healthy right now, since you can CRAFT your own legendary armor (secret service armor) now.
So technically, instead of farming for a specific legendary now, you just farm whatever you can get to pay for all the legendary modules you waste.

 

How hard would it be to give it a makeshift vanity slot so you can wear the mask but have it look like cosmetic helmets?

 

The head slot already is a vanity slot for everything but power armor. Some dev just accidentally ticked a box when creating the item that he shouldn't have.
It was the only head slot piece in the game that had a bonus at all, rewarded from a quest you can complete in like the first hour of playing, and people were surprised when it was fixed.

And they already do what you suggested for 'outfits', btw. They override whatever gear you're wearing to show an outfit instead.

 

Ok. I didn't know how the vanity system works in 76 so I was actually curious about the viability of changing how the mask works (sought-after item + update allowing you to change how it look = profit).

 

If they saw a way to make money with it they'd probably do it. It's likely near the top of their list of shit to do now.

 

This is pretty handy https://fed76.info/armors/

 

I'm confused, you get better ammo economy with an LMG than you did with a handmade?

 

This just dropped off the SBQ, is it worth respeccing for?

 

Heh nooooooo, of course not. The only weapon with even more appetite is the minigun. It's just MY specific LMG is B25 (bloodied + 25% firerate), so it just blurts out shots so fast, the first 20 or so shots count as sneak attack. That's a lot of dakka.
LMG is the sportscar you only drive on a sunny sunday. I love that gun, but I wouldn't recommend ANYONE to use it as a main weapons. The .308 ammo can only be build in.. 24 or so batches. For the resources you would get 500 5mm for. I ONLY primed it, because I get 96 ammo per batch. At the cost of having to hunt for fluorescent flux like junkie. Sad.

The handmade has FAR better ammo efficiency. But since you VATS for the head and let "concentrated fire" work it's magic, depending on the legendary mods/enemy you can plan with 3-5 or so shots per enemy. As opposed to 1 shot 1 kill with single shots.
BUT, if that's your only weapon you can easily feed it with newly made ammo. I already had to feed "Mai Waifu" and "Fiddycal", there was no way I would craft ammo for yet another auto weapon.

Why respec? It's a great weapon for the SBQ, you would only need "power user" to get 999 shots per core. The dmg is relatively low on those guns, so the heavy gunner ones are not THAT important. I only use the 3 in their base version.
The spinup and low dmg makes it a bad general use gun, but excells against the SBQ where endurance is the key. It will break halfway in tho, those things are fragile. Bring a repair kit (from the SBQ).
Don't put a beam focuser on it tho, or it will turn your beautifuru green lasers into the standard red ones. Because... Bethesda.

 

You guys, losers using guns:
"bla bla bla my ammo economy bla bla bla this fires faster bla bla bla need to make ammo bla bla bla aim for the head..."

Me, a patrician melee user:
"HIT THING WITH GROGNAK AXE"

 

rusty_shackleford you can't hit flying enemies

 

wait wrong game

 

THIS is what happens if Bethesda makes a MINIgun: it comes with only one barrel, extra barrels need to be bought seperately. You can't make this shit up.
