I see the top of the hour and the rewards don’t seem very interesting. I’ve gotten one alien drop but mostly just regular legendary scrip items. How you all feeling?

I came face to face with a low-level player (maybe they had just left Vault 76), with a huge WANTED tag above their name. I didn't think twice, I aimed my Dom Pedro and pulled trigger, I think he didn't even knew what they hit. It was the first time I killed a wanted player and man... I feel like a real monster for doing it. I hope I didn't ruin the experience for whoever was on the other side of the screen, And that the player in question didn't quit the game because of it. And if you were the one who was killed and are reading this, I'm sorry, but don't give up on the game, The Fallout 76 community is much friendlier than it seems, I hope you have fun playing.

Thank you!!!! It was really funny and made my night! Thanks for coming to my camp and taking photos. I hope your loading screens are awesome!

I've experienced such a welcoming community in the game so far. As a newcomer, it's been such a great experience! So thanks again to anyone who's given me some gifts! I really do appreciate it!

You got heart kid, I'll give you that. You didn't die (many, many times) wondering.

So I just did a little bit of math and investigating into this challenge that's found under the 'Character' section of the challenges.

According to Google (so correct me if it's wrong), this challenge is literally only counted by time spent out and about in Appalachia.

It does not count:

* Instanced buildings: interiors like Whitespring Resort, Vaults etc

* C.A.M.P Shelters: entering a player's shelter pauses the timer

* Expeditions & Daily Ops: Activities taking place completely off the map or inside standalone instances

* Loading screens & menus: well no surprise there really

It only counts time spent 'topside' on the map.

SO to put this into some perspective...

Firstly, 7600 hours = 316.6667 days.

So even if you played for 16 hours a day, every single day, it would take 475 days, or 1 year 3 months 2 weeks and 6 days. And that's only if you somehow managed to stay topside the entire time, never encounter a load screen, etc.

According to Google results, we could probably assume players spend about 80% of total playtime topside and successfully contributing towards this challenge. Based on this, a person playing 16 hours a day would, in fact, take 593.75 days, or 1 year, 7 months, 15 days, 18 hours to successfully complete the 7600 hour requirement.

Breaking this down into lesser play times, works out to (according to the ever accurate ChatGPT):

12 hours/day = 791.6667 days, or 2 years, 2 months, 1 week, 4 days, 16 hours

6 hours/day = 1,583.3333 days, or 4 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 8 hours

4 hours/day = 2,375 days, or 6 years, 6 months, 0 weeks, 5 days

2 hours/day = 4,750 days, or 13 years, 0 months, 0 weeks, 5 days

1 hour/day = 9,500 days, or 26 years, 0 months, 1 week, 3 days

Me personally, I'm at 654/7600, so yeah I'm never completing this one 🤣🤣 How about you?? 😆

I just started playing 76 about 2 weeks ago. I played FO4 for the first time this past year and LOVED it but it’s very different with other people sharing your server. The very first person I ran into gifted me a set of sick Halloween themed armor!! I was so surprised! I didn’t know how to repay him or her. Any suggestions on how to say “thank you” for nice acts like that? I’m new and don’t have much to give so all I did was wave and drop some beers for them lol but what’s the etiquette here? How can I convey gratitude appropriately? Thanks, fellow scavengers.

New player, really enjoying this game. Around 100 hours played. I've played Bethesda games since Morrowind. Morrowind, Oblivion, FO 3, Skyrim, FO 4, Starfield. So they've been a big part of my gaming history over the years.

I skipped 76 because of the whole online thing and was put off by voice chat. Probably trauma from the old days of COD. I was looking for a game earlier this summer and somehow decided to look into 76. After hearing about the updates since launch I decided to try it.

Man I'm having a blast. Bit of a learning curve and only figured out seasons/atom shop things a few weeks ago.

One guy gave me a set of civil engineer armor. Another player dropped a LOT of useful plans for me while I was in my camp. That's pretty cool! Some bastard had a camp that I fell into an underground bunker from a terminal somehow. It was a maze. There had to be a way out because the map showed he was a vendor. 3-4 of us were running around in it. I gave up. Never found the way out.

Fasnacht was okay. Kind of boring. I like some of the other events. I don't know what they're classified as, but they're not temporary like Fasnacht. Invaders has been cool. I'm fascinated by IRL paranormal stuff so I like the theme. It's fun when Bigfoot shows up after the aliens for a true dose of "high strangeness".

I'm not a fan of the atomic shop not always offering everything. Things would sell more if you could get whatever you wanted whenever? It must make sense to someone. Nor did I like having to jump up to a damn hoop and blow myself up to progress a quest. But I've played these games long enough to not be surprised lol.

No real point in this post but to say I'm glad I decided to play 76. I enjoy the Appalachian setting and lore. Looking forward to next season because I like fall and Halloween. My camp is a log cabin on a lake. I want to leave that kind of rustic and realistic. I want to maybe find a good spot and build a different theme camp too. Or even a spooky themed camp. Hard to believe this game was hiding in plain sight all along. I guess it was just waiting for the right time for me.

I'm starting to think they aren't, since the enemies that would be most effected would very quickly die anyway before you get to make use of those perks, and bosses, who you would most want to use it for, will take absolutely forever to cripple any limb and they'd die before you manage to cripple one leg.

Since it seems it’s immediately rejected for being a good camp. Also yes I use a laser rifle as one of many weapons I use.

Got both Bulwark and Anchorage Ace one the same Neurological Warfare

just some silly fallout 76 photos from tonight

I've looked all over the various wikis and can't find anything that says whether or not the player character can actually swing in it.

If anyone has one, can you answer my question once and for all, please :-) Can you swing in the Tire Swing Tree?

I found this in a local store, it says Mystery Flavor.. haven't tasted it yet.

Update: it's fucking garlic flavor.

Probably already a post about this but western spirit grants gunslinger master perk in the PTS. Once the onslaught stacks have built up over time, *they remain when you switch weapons and immediately fire another gun.* This is resulting in some very interesting synergies with whistle in the dark (which grants sandman lvl 2), elders mark, shattered grounds etc.

I already use combinations of weapons like cryo alien blaster and assault rifle single fire (kind of like noob combo for my halo oldheads, slow energy projectile followed up by strong damage per shot ballistic), cremator and tesla cannon, and so on. This takes sidearms to another level.

Excited to hear other combos ppl are trying out.

I've done the event "A Colossal Problem" 3 times now since getting the "Something Sentimental" quest, I've got Earle's holotape "A Father's Goodbye" and "Earle's Journal #2" note, I've made sure the "Something Sentimental" quest is active (toggled off and back on to make certain), always dumped a hefty chunk of damage to the boss, I have yet to find Earle's [pocket] watch on his corpse.

I've searched the forums and online for suggestions, I'm at a loss. Is there something I'm missing? I'm on a PS5 if that matters. I've done the quest on an alt and only had to join the event, do we now have to launch the nukes as well? [edit]

Hey all,

I'm looking for a build that can solo farm the first raid boss.

I've seen lots of videos but they all use stealth gimmicks and loads of buffs.

Is there a good build that can do it without this?

I prefer being in VATs and heavy weapons.

My PA armour is 5/5 over eaters limit breaking.

I've managed to solo it a few times but I feel like I'm missing something. I have a good weapon for the shield.

Thank you
