I came here hoping for some good discussion, build suggestions, maybe even tips on raiding Gleaming Depths. Showing off camp builds? Apparel combinations?
NOPE.
90% of the posts on this sub are complaints.
Just people crying about how the drop rate isn't higher for something. Or that there isn't a particular themed item in the Atomic shop that they ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE SHOULD BE THERE OMG DEVS WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING MY ENJOYMENT. Or "This year's <insert holiday here> event sucks compared to last years!"
Barely any replies, and when there are it's usually more griping and zero advice.
It's a GAME guys. Not a job. Not something you're forced to use. Get a grip and either find a way to enjoy it or stop playing it and spend your time on something you actually like. A lot of what I'm seeing here are bitter, angry people. And take it from an old fart, that's gonna start to show in real life if it hasn't already, and no one, NO ONE, enjoys being around that kind of person.
If this game really is so terrible, awful, unfair, and crappy? STOP PLAYING IT. And with that, downvote this into oblivion, because I know that's what you're all gonna do.
I’ve stopped daily ops, expeditions,and dropping nukes, actually used my microphone for the first time and met some cool people I now regularly play with, completely reworked my builds and inventory, changed the buffs I consume, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
I can grind the gardian 5 or 6 times in the same time it takes to complete the most sensational game. And since I have all plans that can be bought with stamps and get more and better legendaries, rewards, modules, bobbles, I really have no desire to run expeditions anymore. Anyone feel the same?
I just can't muster a reason to go and sell lots of great stuff I have. I have hundreds of stable flux, serums, I got over 200 different legendary mods stashed... And then I think like ok, I got 13k caps, 27k short of limit, maybe I should sell something, which isn't a problem, I got a surplus of everything I don't even need - I have been dropping a bunch of mods and fluxes and ammo in every donation box anyway. But then I couldn't make up a reason to get caps. Like what for?
This game throws caps at you to certain extent which is enough to buy day-to-day things like bulk adhesive or whatnot. But then what else really? A recall card? Once again, the surplus every day without doing any effort covers it. To buy holiday wrap? What for? I got all the recipes from the previous events, I don't want a new yellow star shaped ornament or whatever the fuck.
Bring the atom shop objects for expensive in-game shop for caps. At least an idea... or sell atoms for caps at high prices like I don't know, 100 atoms for 20k caps or whatever. At least some incentive I guess...
Just managed to randomly make a 2 shot explosive 25 vats gatling plasma when spamming for rolls. Haven't had that roll in a long time!!
I've taken like a 4 year gap in this game. Played it for about 300 hours when the game first came out. Quit when the duping was high. And only recently came back a couple months ago. Man I miss my two shot explosives..
Will the gatling plasma roll compete any whatsoever with an AA roll? Or is it really just nerfed into the ground now?
Just logged on and was doing the usual stash check at C.A.M.P ready to head out into the wasteland. I shut the rusty mausoleum door behind me and a player popped outta nowhere. They dropped about 10 or more plans (none of which were known!) in front of me in a ticking box I was bit scared of lol. I fumbled with my controller trying to thank you (I’m level nothing coming from Fallout 4 and trying hard to learn the etiquette haha) before I could blurt out a few hearts.
You made my whole week. I can’t believe the generosity, I hope you’re on here and know how appreciated it is. You make this game so much more fun for us double-digit noobs - Merry Christmas 🎄
I’ve unlocked all of the Vulcan and Gatling plasma mods (stinger and accelerated) I’ve never played vats before so I’m not familiar with how to build with it. Also since stabilized perk gives heavy guns 45% penetration and stinger gives another 20% is it worth it to run the Gatling with aristocrats and give up the last 25% anti armor from legendary mod or stick with anti armor on Gatling?
Stage 1:
If your team’s damage is solid, don’t run back to the room after breaking the shield. Just stay and deal as much damage as possible for a faster clear.
Stage 2:
There’s no need for someone to stay behind to protect the drill right from the start. You can finish this stage in about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Stage 3:
If your damage output isn’t high, focus on taking out the repair robots. Players using Auto Axes should make sure not to interfere with ranged VATS users.
Stage 4:
Avoid standing on top of the crystal when possible, as it can cause the monsters to stop moving, which slows down your clear time.
Stage 5:
If your team’s damage is high enough, you can ignore the snake’s tail. Focus on attacking the head or eyes for a quicker clear. (If your team’s damage isn’t exceptionally high, make sure to attack the tail properly.)
Hopefully, these will be useful to someone! If you have any other tips, feel free to share them.

Thanks to the amazing FO76 community I recently became able to solo EN06 under level 250
There’s tons of great rewards after each kill. My STASH is full though and I’m constantly over encumbered
I have all kinds of junk, ammo, mods, legendary modules, weapons, armor.
What do you free players do to maintain your max weight? Is there like a general rule of thumb of how much of everything to keep?
Saw someone flying around with a jetpack with green flames.
Is this the jetpack for the Vulcan?
Feeling sad bros
I know they cannot be killed but do they have a weakness? Can they be staggered with pain train, choochoo, minigun shredder, short circuit, or can they be frozen with a cryolator anything really to intercept them, I’m tired of dying in those tunnels.
anyone else been getting the power armor bugs a lot more the last few days getting in and out removing piece's or just vanishing and having to relog to get them back?
went from a once in a while bugs to every time I get in and out something happens getting old real fast.
So I contacted Bethesda support because my friends and I realized the statue trophy plan was not dropping at all anymore for stage 3 specifically . To which customer support answered “We are receiving reports from some players that the Epsilon Squad Raid Trophy may not be dropping when completing the requirements for Stage 3” We’re running successful raids together and to no avail not a single statue trophy plan is dropping — nor from stage 4&5 also. Is anyone else having a problem? I had heard there was a bug that if you learned the statue trophy plan from stage 2 that somehow it locked you out of getting the trophy for the other stages like a week ago. Also in regards to plans earned from raids in general, it seems after completing raids that the number of plans has also significantly decreased to where my friends and I are literally not earning any plans and we have definitely not learned them all.
One of the great parts of the Holiday Scorched when it was active was when they would drop the Legendary gear. I cared less about the junky stuff coming from the gift boxes, even the Large ones. Most of it was just junk with some ornaments and other decorations thrown in once in awhile. I wanted the weapons/armor to keep for myself or use at the exchange. That was far more valuable to me. So call me a scrouge, I don't care :)
Starting this by saying I am not sure if its appropriate to put someone's gamertag here so I'll keep it to myself just in case. Had a player respond to a message I put in my camp about wanting to buy 4 star mods. I didn't have anywhere near enough leaders to trade for what I wanted. This absolute mad lad drops the pyromaniac mod I wanted for free and messages me "Merry Christmas". Stuff like this reminds me both that the community on this game is amazing and to pass it forward. I will definitely be trying to make someone's day the same way this person made mine.
It’s honestly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen I love checking out the white spring mall and seeing at least 5 of you living in the equipment room.
It has everything you need so I get it’s handy !
Why is there no Sugar Bombs decorations or skins? I see there was a seemingly very limited pip-boy skin, but is that it? We've got multiple Slocum bundles, why not Sugar Bombs?
I’ve killed this MF multiple times now and I’m in a place where I can comfortably beat it with a semi decent team, but sometimes I just get blown across the arena with no way to counter when he does the pushing attack. Anyone else feel a bit hard done by sometimes with this?
I’ve already purchased 7 mod boxes in vendors priced at 7k-14k caps, They are falling within the 90k-150k range and should only be traded. Yes, I added all of them and told them the real value as well as offered to make up the difference. It just made me think how many people are getting ripped off.
Hello there, was trying to get into the wasteland today and twice in the span of an hour I had the game freeze and kick me out essentially. Drivers are good, stuff is up to date and the files were verified but I can't help but think something else is going on. Does anybody have any insight? Or is this just the usual for the game? 😅
This is my current build and weapon. I feel like I'm not hitting that hard. During Eviction Notice I realized I'm only hitting headshots for 60-80 (Ish) damage and crits for 140-170. I'm also always using Firecracker Juice, Orange Mentats and Overdrive. I'm only level 99, so there are some changes to be made but nothing that's going to drastically change my output. I also have 2 levels of GWS because I don't have refrigerated mod yet. Once i do ill swap it to Bloody Mess. Is my build just trash or are my enemies just super tanky?

Like the title said. In fact, i wanna make a Cooper build when the ghoul update drops. Need help never been one to work with the cards.
Everytime there's a challenge for complete Daily OPs, you can never seem to put together a team of people, or even team up with one person.
If you join someone's Daily OP team, they're never in a Daily OP, and if you go into a Daily Op first, they don't follow. Or if you make an OPs team, no one joins.
I've even hopped servers for an hour and no luck. It's not like these take more than 6-7 minutes to beat. I understand if the enemies are Aliens with mutations that kill you instantly, but even under normal conditions it's like this.
Is it just better to re-roll that challenge?
This event doesn't just depend on killing Schorched for gifts. We get to buy gifts/paper, we have Santatrons, Bethesda is even giving us some gifts. Plus, for the 2nd year in a row we're getting new plans added to the loot pool. Ps.. we have gone for years without new plans in the past.
From my standpoint, this has been a banner year for the game. I am very grateful for all the investment from Bethesda and all the new players and the fact this community is still growing.
That's said, Bethesda hire some QA and stop acting like amateurs.
Hello everybody! I've been playing FO76 with my girlfriend for about two weeks now, we are loving it! We are ready to start working on our heavy weapon build, specifically for the raid. We would love to be able to farm EN06 togheter and the other bosses later on, but we are in a stall where we don't know what our next steps should be.
I know we need PA, specifically Overeater. What is the best way to put Overeater on the PA we already have (T-45, if that's not a terrible idea) or how do we farm a set of OE PA?
We have zero ideas on what weapon we should use and what we should do to find it and, if necessary, mod it.
Thanks in advance to everyone
My buddy has fo76 on pc gamepass and I have it on xboxgamepass.
How do we join each other's games?
