A small feature request to Bethesda team for custom worlds, an option to select weather machine pattern as a global weather option in custom worlds if you own that machine, it would make custom worlds more appealing to play on.

I have a couple of guys on my friend list that like to mess around in custom worlds and leave the world open to all, one of them changes custom world weather often to take photos so I just thought that it would be a pretty neat feature if a player who has bought a weather machine can get that weather pattern as an option in custom worlds.

An option to select any photo mode filter during gameplay in custom worlds would also be such a simple but easy win, the current selection is just a couple of filters but they are already implemented, I think it would be simple to implement the rest of photo mode filters in the custom worlds settings menu.

I would use reshade but I am afraid of triggering the Fallout 76 anti-cheat so I avoid running those types of programs when I play it.

I've had some weird experiences in 76, but this is a first (abducted by something... But it wasn't the aliens)

Alright... I'm alone on a private world, walking through the Ash Heap and looking for a camp spot. I get the notification that I'm joining a "Toxic Valley" horde event - and without warning, I get directly teleported nearby the event boss at one of the farms. No biggie, kill it and take the loot. Weird, but whatever.

Before I even had time to put my tent down (still by the farm in Toxic Valley, mind you), I'm suddenly joining an "Ash Heap" radscorpion horde. Aaand I'm gone, almost right back to where I was before this shenanigan started.

I'm absolutely baffled. I've been randomly moved out of instanced areas before, but I've never been forcefully TP'd across the map like this. Didn't have the forethought to record this amongst the chaos so I am expecting people to doubt me, but if it happens again I'll try to be more attentive.

Trouble playing disc

I own FO76 but cannot play it due to it being on the Xbox game pass. I don’t want to purchase the game pass for a game I already own, does anyone know how to get around it?

Level 50+ Difficulty Increase

Hi there! I’ve often read here that the game really “opens up” at level 50 and on.

I am struggling!!!! I feel like I go through ammo and stimpaks like water. My stuff breaks all the time. Quests are bugging out so I can’t finish them/need to redo. High level players are no longer nice to me and offer to help out.

Please tell me that this is not forever? Because it’s making me lose my mind.

Who's concerned about the new Terms of Service 7.0?

This is not a coincidence that this new Terms of Service came out right after more than half of Bethesda Studios employees go on strike. Makes you wonder why they're going on strike, is it because of this new Terms of Service agreement? What do others think, I'm curious before I sign into this BS. Because if they're going to take away from me items I've already purchased in the future, then f%*% it I'm throwing in the towel now and I'll boycott anything Zenimax or Bethesda and I probably won't be buying anything from them ever again. The future of gaming is bloody screwed.

I got attacked by the Mysterious Stranger

At Whitesprings Mall, heard gunshots and started taking damage. Expected to see rampaging robots but it was the mysterious stranger. How is that possible? Even when I ran away, he shot me through walls. I checked, and I have Pacifist on.

Atom Shop Accident!

Every day when I get on, I go to collect my free item from the Atomic Shop. Yesterday when hopping on I noticed there was “Free” on the apparel section. I was thinking oh nice, free apparel! Typically, when collecting my free items I just double click space bar to open and speed past the “unlock for free” prompt. I did the same this time but after claiming, I noticed it still said “Free!” on the apparel tab when about to exit the shop. Confused, I went back and checked and it turned out I purchased a “New!” apparel item for 700 atoms instead of the “Free!” Item! Before this mistake, I had earned 1,390 Atoms for free (new player) and was super excited to almost be at 1,500 so I could get the season pass for the upcoming season. So careless mistake had me very frustrated and ready to just get off for the night. That was until my SO had the grand idea to contact Bethesda to see if they’d help me out. I said it’s very unlikely because it’s entirely my fault but I guess I’ll give it a shot. In less than 12 hours after my support ticket, I had my 700 Atoms returned to my account (: They told me to be more careful next time lol. Will do!

TL/DR: I accidentally purchased a 700 Atom outfit (Slocum Survivor) due to clicking too fast thinking it said “Free!” when it actually said “New!”

Overseer quest? Does this stay active? I feel I've hit all locations per guides but I still have the quest.

Also the isolated cabin and girls key. I never get it and never able to open stash in free shelter. I jump servers but it's never there. Of course I hear I'm not missing much getting his stash open.

Sins of the father (Antonio missing)

I’m doing the sins of the father quest and made it up to the point in Atlantic City where Antonio hears a noise and I’m supposed to follow. I left to assort my carry weight and when I returned he was missing. He’s not in front of the church either.

Does northern light power armour skin work on T-65?

As above, they don't give any information on it, and sometimes they don't do T-65. I got the pink sprinkles paint from event and couldn't use it, really annoying

Thanks in advance

The alien invasion part of the other events is awesome

Doing Free Range and just seeing the Zetans drop down to steal my Brahmin is wonderful and just feels so 50's schlocky that I couldn't help but smile as I rained poison explosive arrows on them. Did help a few of the people doing the event were wearing captain Cosmo PAs. Really adds to the experience. Does suck they don't drop blasters anymore.

Getting back into the game

Hello Dwellers, just a quick question(level 350 haven’t played in years). Is it still unrealistic to expect to play without fallout first? I mean in terms of having to deal with weight constantly. Thanks in advance, I wanna get back into the game plus new dlc/expansion just worried I’ll lose interest if most of my time is in the pipboy scrapping/dropping etc.

Q2525 vs Q5025 NU Laser rifle

Running a full health commando build, I know the AP cost is higher than ballistic counterparts but I just love lasers. I have the Q2525 already with hair trigger capacitor, and the fire rate is crazy. Don't know if it would be worth swapping second star to Vital though. Anyone have/had both and can comment? Thanks!

Ally quests still bugged?

I was doing the ally quests for Beckett, got to the last one and my game crashed(ps5). Did not receive the machine gun, watoga underground is locked again, and can no longer interact with Beckett at all. Quest is grayed out like it is completed. Am I just SOL? Anything I can try? I've deleted the bar and restarted the game nothing does anything.

Does Explosive 2nd Star work with Alien Blaster Cryo Mag?

Cryo mag does more damage but I can't tell if its working properly. There is no visual indication of the explosive effect but I'm still seeing limbs take damage. Shooting the ground however I take no damage like I do with the standard mag. I'm confused. Any insight would be appreciated.

Does anyone know about the Deep Spacewalk skin?

Okay, so i know that the Deep Spacewalk skin for the X-01 was a reward on a scoreboard a few years back, but i have been told you can get the skin in these new invaders events. Is there actually a way to get a hold of this skin now, or is it just bogus?

Secondary weapon for plasma caster vats crit build

I am working on a plasma caster vats crit build. Was looking for suggestions on a secondary weapon that would also use the perks I have for the caster. The perks are the usual heavy gunner PA build. Thanks

Yesterday I drowned.

So I traveled to a CAMP to review plans. Unfortunately I end up under the floor with water from which there is no way to escape. Why is it sometimes made so difficult to visit a CAMP?

Arbitration Agreement at Sign In

XBox shoved a ZeniMax terms of service agreement into the sign-in yesterday (post-update) that was perplexing. Couldn’t read the whole TOS, used the “next” to see if it was a paging issue and found that it meant “I agree to whatever this forced me to agree to.” Who the hell is ZeniMax? I’m less than a year into this game and don’t recall seeing the name on splash screens anywhere.

Making a hobby of collecting terms of service statements and having GPT summarize what you’re waiving and agreeing to. There are some doozies out there. This might be one. Regardless, the inability to read it or find it after the poor UI single-click consented is total horseshit.

Why do player name tags matter?

I get that there doesn't have to be a reason to be annoyed when things change unnecessarily. But beyond that, why does it particularly bother people that player name tags are missing?

I am just curious if I am completely ignoring an element of play.

EDIT: thanks for all the replies. It is nice to hear how the community feels and how this affects you. I am not surprised by any of the responses but I definitely underestimated how much this affected certain play styles and mind sets.

cool weird experience

Few days ago i FT to a camp and heard on mic two guys talking about it then they both disappeared into a weird vault entrance/ladder thing..intrigued..I followed.

When down there I stood listening as one guy gave the other a tour of an amazing 'experience' thing where you have to use a crossbow on an course, a house with shooting target all connected up by an elaborate wiring system

Then they turned "Do you know this person?" haha

I did a confused emote but they were both real friendly, asked if I wanted to try and I got as far at the guy saying "So i'm gonna be handing you this crossbow to use" before my game froze :/

Is It Just My Jet Pack?

Sometimes when I log in I don’t have a jet pack. I discovered this confidently jumping off a cliff near my camp. I also figured out if I jump into my power armor, then get out, I have my jet pack back.
