They should have gotten Walton Goggins for the pre-war portion of that. It would have been expensive, but if there's a time for them to invest in that particular marketing angle, it's now.

Maybe, but I'd think a better time to pull out all the guns and pony up to go with everyone's favorite ghoul would be next year, especially if they can time the playable ghoul launch with season 2 of the show.

Punisher wasn't nearly as popular as Fallout, and Punisher didn't bring hordes of people looking to try out Ghost Recon. Fallout resulted in a big spikes in sales and player counts in the various Fallout games, even without direct marketing.Isgrimnur wrote: Sun Jun 09, 2024 2:56 pmWorked so well for Ghost Recon: WildlandsBlackhawk wrote: Sun Jun 09, 2024 2:20 pm They should have gotten Walton Goggins for the pre-war portion of that.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
And I just found out that they're starting the new season when they launch the expansion on Wednesday, which is just the perfect timing to screw me out of unlocking the final bonus level despite starting a month and a half late. If I'd had even a couple of days more notice I might have been able to pull it off, but they timed it perfectly so that it's impossible, but they didn't announce it until today.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
This is how close I came to unlocking the rank 150 reward tier for Season 16, which we suddenly learned was ending today (probably because someone decided they needed some sort of exciting surprise news for the XBox Showcase, so there was no advance notice to the players, who were mostly expecting it to run until the last week of June). I was so looking forward to the huge stack of Perk Coins waiting for me there, too...
Ah, well, tomorrow is a whole new day with a whole new chunk of map to explore and pillage.

I never did the original scout quests. They are still sitting in my journal. There was just so many of them and the rewards didn't seem worth it. I do have the scout backpack.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
I did enough Tadpole badges to unlock the standard backpack, and a couple of Possum badges that were easy to knock out, but other than that I've left them on the backburner until I'm completely out of ideas for things to do but, for some reason, still want to play the game.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
I logged in and started all this Skyline stuff. Started with a new quest and a radio signal. I wont spoil it but I have already now encountered the Lost and they are cool. Im headed back to base to stock up on supplies and guns and ammo and headed further south. I wonder if guns that do extra damage to ghouls also works on Lost? Plan to find out as Ill grab either my minigun or gatlin laser
EDIT: Damn somewhere along the way Ive lost or sold all my ghoul slaying weapons. I got some robot slaying ones but that aint gonna help me. I grabbed my 3 star legendary flaming chainsaw and my core using 3 star furious beta laser minigun. It stacks damage on target as I keep hitting that target.
Those 2 weps will go along with my Burning Love bow that sets stuff on fire and 1 hits ghouls and my super modded extra ammo hard hitting gatlin gun. 13,000 round for it.
BTW on those Lost and their lvl

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
Man this new area is lousy with handmades...normal and shorts. All over place on the ground and as loot. I was grabbin them up but then I got way overweighted and just dropped them. Lol. Figure if theres that many near the beginning there will be plenty more later.
Im really enjoying this new area and Im glad to have it..finally! Welp off to the manor now at the heart of the storm. Theres some others down here. Ive not ran into them but they are about on my map doing these quest like me I guess. I swear I saw a level 5000 guy. Thats crazy.
EDIT: OH! I do have a pic of one of the new Lost guys.Theres different types and they talk and jabber a lot too. This is from the very first area in the normal map where the vault opened up.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
As I haven't played the game, I can't speak to everything. However, I would never put that second bonus on a gun with a large clip. It's meant for things like revolvers or sniper rifles. With an assault rifle things should either be dead before you reach the last bullet, or you'll likely be reloading prior to reaching the last bullet. Seems like there may be more useful bonuses for an assault rifle.
Although, if the 100% bonus is multiplicative with the 45% bonus, and you are a good shot, and you can hold off until the last shot, I suppose it could be good against things with a lot of health because that last bullet could deliver a big bunch. Maybe.
I'd still probably find something else.
And I'm not sure about the attribute bonus. Is that a thing that folks do in this game? Normally I'd shy aware from attribute bonuses. Especially on a weapon. On armor, maybe. But I wouldn't want to be unable to use a skill because of an attribute requirement because I changed my weapon... (no, I have no idea if that is even a thing that is possible; it's just an illustration).

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
It's been a long time, but I agree with Mix about the magazine. There are, i believe, builds that use that by letting you fire the 'last' shot multiple times, but even then it's used for high power, small mag weapons.

Its pretty much up to random chance when you apply the legendary to it. Isn't it?

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
That I can't answer. I haven't played the game. In Fallout 4, the legendary mods were always the same. The effects were never random. So I assumed that it's the same way. Are you saying that all of those effects came from applying the same legendary mod? If so, while it's nice to get so many effects, it apparently is blind luck to get a good setup. If that's the case, then I guess it'll do, donkey, it'll do.

Sorry, quoting you so that I can see the image full size - I still can't click through the images in any of your posts.Daehawk wrote: Thu Jun 13, 2024 7:34 pm I just made this. Im not sure if Ill keep it or not . What do you guys think about it? Im pretty proud of it myself.
It's been over a year. I do seem to remember that crafting Legendary items was all RNG, though - you craft repeatedly until you get something that is what you need. It's part of the MMO grind they built in.
Quick math: That trait, right now, gives you +39 damage once every 100 rounds on average. That's about one third of an extra point of damage as the bonus. So... less than +1% (doubt my math - I'm tired.)
Now, put that same trait on a double barrel shotgun. It is going to do +115 damage (base) every eighth shots. That's meaningful (although still mediocre.)
Some quick research shows that Last Shot is one of the weakest Legendary effects in the game. The +1 Agility is in the same camp. The +5% per hit on target is potentially really powerful, although it requires that you not miss at all. All in all (and I'm sorry to be a party pooper), that's a pretty blech Legendary. Scrap it and go again.
Again, it's been quite a while, so someone with more recent experience - feel free to correct me.

Ya I dont know all the adds that come with legendary crafting. No big deal either. Ive always been on the lookout for a nice handmade. Ill keep it for now while I get more. That whole new Skyline area is filled with handmades.

I didn't follow your math, but it could be specific to the game, so I'm not going to worry about it. I think the important takeaway is "Some quick research shows that Last Shot is one of the weakest Legendary effects in the game. The +1 Agility is in the same camp."

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
The math was just a 25% chance for the bonus on the last round from a 25-round mag. On the average, you're going to get one proc every four magazines, so once every 100 shots. +100% damage on a 39 damage weapon is 39 damage (other modifiers aside.)
So +39 damage for every 100 shots. Actually, 100% damage once per 100 shots would make it exactly 1% extra damage overall. That's an awful bonus.
And again, I'm tired and suck at math, so my numbers may be off, but not by enough to make it a good bonus.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
Yeah, the legendary mods are random. You don't get to pick them, just choose whether to keep the ones you have or reroll them by using legendary cores/modules.
I would probably reroll those legendaries to try to get something more to my liking, but if they work for you then that's fine.
Until this afternoon my go-to arsenal was:
The thing that jumped out at me for that rifle is that some of the parts are defaults instead of more advanced/specialized mods. If you're getting a lot of handmades dropping, you should be scrapping them in order to unlock mods to improve the weapon's stats. I'm particularly fond of using VATS with automatic rifles, so my low AP cost Handmade is hella fun because each shot only consumes 3 AP, plus it has an accuracy bonus. It's like sustained sniping on full auto.

Wasn't in 5 min this morning before game lost connection to servers. Not a promising start to the day.
I rerolled the gun a couple times until I get damage to humans and some other stats. Ill sell the junk starred items on me later when the game runs and buy more modules

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
If you want to chase after a very popular gimmick build, you should keep an eye out for a bloodied weapon and unyielding armour. Both of those are hugely buffed if you have low health. Then you add in perks like Nerd Rage that also synergize with low health. You can generally spot the bloodied/unyielding players in your group because they run around sustaining a ton of rads to suppress their health. It took me an embarrassingly long time to finally understand why so many players never cleared their rads.

No not interested in builds..just want a neat gun.
I got disconnected again. This time I was able to catch it was me not the game. For some reason my PC loses its net link randomly all during the day. Battlenet and other stuff that require a connection all drop and have to reacquire. Im not sure whats causing it in this decrepit old machine. It doesn't appear to be losing the modem connection fully...just enough of a drop to lose anything online then it goes all back again.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
Damn that railroad rifle fires rail spikes like a minigun. Its super fast. Dang thing only has a 20 capacity too. It needs at least 50 or 100.
Also kicks up to the sky unless you use VATS
All players hear is *ZIIiiip* and 20 rail ties are stuck in things. Then you hear the little steam train whistle reload sound haha toot! toot!
And the whole thing only weighs 1 lb.

I have an automatic railroad rifle with the Quad legendary (+300% magazine size). Quads are great for any automatic weapon, for obvious reasons.Daehawk wrote: Fri Jun 14, 2024 8:19 pm Damn that railroad rifle fires rail spikes like a minigun. Its super fast.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
Ive got a bunch of treasure maps and Im gonna go get'm. Ive done it before. Fun and tough back then. Should be ok now.
Oh also I found a player vendor selling a tin foil hat. Ive never seen anyone with one and Ive never looted one either. So figure they must be pretty rare. I paid $1500 caps for it.
I think its worth it.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
These treasure maps are semi fun. Its a nice break from the other stuff. But man finding those mounds are F'n on my one nerve sometimes .
Ive never found anything really rare or good, IS there any? A reason to do these treasure maps?

That's a sweet set of legendaries. Too bad the weapon itself is only level 25.

Re: [Bethesda] Fallout 76
I've only bothered to do a couple of them and don't recall getting anything special, but this guy documented what he got from 300 maps. For science! From his results, the main reason to do the maps seems to be acquiring plans and possibly loose mods. Normally I'm not that interested in loose mods, however I just learned that it isn't possible to learn most of the mods for the Enclave plasma weapons, so the only way to mod one is to find loose Enclave mods (or get lucky and find a weapon that is modded exactly how you want it).Daehawk wrote: Sun Jun 16, 2024 8:58 am These treasure maps are semi fun.

The one thing I do remember about treasure maps is that if I had a stack of a particular map, I could use all of them when I found the corresponding mound by digging repeatedly until I ran out of maps, so running down a mound when you've got a big stack of maps for it might be worthwhile.
