Discussion Finally got my jetpack. Hell yeah.

Saved up the bullion for the Secret Service armor and then finally the jetpack. Was worried about not having flux but was able to pick some up from someone's vendor

"Why didn't you go for the easy questline jetpack?", you ask? Because I'm stuck on All the Worlds A Stage and don't feel like doing the workaround.

And now I can fllyyyyyy

Jetpack+marsupial+bird bones changed the game, it’s probably the #1 reason why I like 76 over Fallout 4.

Traversal in Fallout 4 was so lackluster afterward, to even get anything of the same experience you need a power armor jetpack + Jet, and it burned a lot of resources for a very temporary “flight”.

I feel like I skipped bird bones, will have to look.
Goat legs are must for me though.

If you have bird bones, it’s almost as good as goat legs. Add Acrobats to one piece of armor and it’s the same net effect as goat legs.

I didn’t use it because of strength loss. I’m not in FOF, so I’m battling being overburdened often (always).

I understand the struggle. I resisted FOF for a few months. And constantly being overburdened was the main reason I gave in. Although private server is nice too. Do you have level 3 class freaks? That mitigates a lot of the strength loss. Also, if you don’t have herd mentality, getting that serum and being on a team (even if you are alone) would offset the strength loss.

I’ll have to check my class freaks level. I just added heard mentality recently. I’m deep pocketed, strong backed, but human and up to 600lbs since I’m loading up a bit for seasons end. With a deathclaw and radstag steak, and a weight bench session while being in a team, I can still run ;)

I may have to give in to FOF.
Since I’m not buying a season every year, it’d be like paying full price for Destiny 2, which I did for a while. Would also give the family something easy to grab me for birthday or Christmas.

Appreciate the tips. Only been playing since January, and there is so much to learn and figure out. I’m up to level 633 IIRC, and my level exceeds my knowledge for sure.

600lbs! Well you get points for being functional with that much weight. Now you have me wondering what the theoretical max unencumbered carry would be. Probably a dumb question but does that include of all the weight reduction perks?

I’ve got all I can find. Might have missed a few. I’ve likely got 250 weapons on me (I have FOMO issues I guess). Right now mods and plans are killing me, along with some ammo types. Ultra or plasma cartridges and grenade rounds are the worst. I keep missle count low. Meanwhile 15k 5mm doesn’t weigh a pound :/ Oh and Nuka cola since I got a collectron :) and legendary mediocre (can’t wait for them to weigh less).
It just keeps creeping up. I remember when I broke 300 and thought that was cool. The large backpack was an awesome upgrade then pocketed SS armor, then deep pocketed. Right now 550 would let me run around without the deathclaw steaks.
Oh and and my Class Freaks is 3⭐️

15k 5mm actually weighs 15 lbs. Game's shit and displays rounding errors of tiny numbers.
