Why do assaultron heads suck. Finally got a 2 shot weapon to drop and it was a head and it just sucked. Probably should've given it to my friend but sold it the day before.
Did pick up a vampires lever action so trying to decide whether to keep it or not.

Weapon balance in this game is a flat out joke right now. Bethesda said they are working on it which includes buffs to energy and heavy weapons in the future.
The laser weapons are actually pretty good, at least for me. Had an automatic laser pistol that are enemies up, currently have mutant slayer ultracite laser rifle that's great.
Assaultron heads just suck for some reason.
They need to do something about pistols, a pistol/vats build just isn't that viable right now for endgame from what I've heard.
Looks promising. Think I'll dust off my file and re-familiarize myself with the game a bit this weekend. Hope my build wasn't nerfed too much in the last couple patches lol.
Ooh, that legendary player system sounds nice. Hopefully you get to keep your recipes and plans.
Always wondered why we couldn't scrap legendary weapons in Fallout 4, nice to finally be able to do it. Roadmap is looking cool, the Vaults will be super interesting.
anyone have good tips for beginners? I am getting absolutely rekt anywhere I go. I got power armor, but I ran out of fusion cores pretty quickly. All my weapons are garbage, and I have almost no healing items.
Also Im trying the Mayor for a day quest. I was here earlier but struggling a little bit. I left to try to gather stuff and came back, now all enemies are level 68?? im level 13

End game being essentially waves of powerful enemies or giant boss creatures, pistols and smaller weapons are never going to be viable for them. Really the whole point of different weapon types is supposed to be playstyle oriented and utility based, which worked well in older fallout titles as they let you play in many different ways.
But when you have MMO like giant boss battles and enemy mobs, the differing play styles don't really work well and it comes down to purely what does best damage for the range you wish to engage in.
Overall though it's a problem with the game in general, they did an awful job of making weapons unique enough, like the problems they are having with energy weapons. The whole point of energy weapons in the older games was that most world creatures and many enemies had poor defense against energy type damage, while it seems like most enemies have a flat damage reduction instead as there is little difference anymore, making energy weapons not as good as most ballistics. As with old Fallouts, the point is supposed to be that some enemies are weaker against certain types of damage but 76 especially seems to have it's armor values all kinds of messed up and its just best to focus on whatever weapon has a the straight highest dmg number instead.
I was messing around yesterday and realized that my build is a one trick pony. Power attack with the All Rise sledge I got at some point. I can kill pretty much anything (in my range while I'm leveling), but my guns are fucking traaaaaash.
I don't want to have to deal with this mutation farming garbage, either. So I'm sort of stuck with a very suboptimal build right now. I WANT to be able to play a gun or melee build, but it sounds like I need to pick one or the other, and that's annoying.

Do you just have a Power Armor frame? It's been awhile but if I remember the frame alone doesn't add any armor protection, it increases strength and protects from fall damage but if you don't have any armor on the frame you're essentially naked.
I very well could be wrong,it's been awhile since I played
I'm eighteen and I get wrecked too. I dunno if I'm just bad but super mutants destroy me, they have so much health.
My new character is quite a good time. Still struggle with stims, food, and water...But I did it right by getting the search perks right away for ammo and meds. Definitely helping me out. Also making a point early on to dump shit at the vendors to build up a cap reserve. Only level 11, but it's nice to have a BIT of an idea of what's to come.
Doing a rifle and energy weapon mix/match right now. Going to stick with 1 STR, so no melee and PA is only for nuke zones.

Pray you run into scorched and not Super Mutants. I'm over level 100 and still hate running into Mutants, they wreck me with freaking pipe weapons.
Like Tuttle said, you'd need pieces to actually really be wearing power armor. Learned that the hard way when I tried to enter a blast zone when I first encountered one. Some things just wreck you early on so gotta get some sneak attacks or melee them to death. Mayor for a day would be hard for anyone still early in because Assaultron's are insane.
BlackSalad next time I see you on i'll join. Been on Anthem the last few times I've had time to play.

haven't had much time to play lately but will dig in this weekend hopefully! Excavator armor material farming yay
Still haven't made that armor, farmed for spring and made X-01. Hear it's worth it early on so not sure if I even need it.
Made additional progress this weekend. I realized that if I want to build up resources and gain XP, I need to legit focus on events. You get a lot of good shit from them, especially early on.
wait what?
so they are selling bundles with a game you need a subscription to play? O_o
Not to mention that a connection to a server isn't something usually tied to XBL or PS+

So I was trying to travel to the nearest train station to sell a bunch of assault rifles then happen to attract a Sorchbeast. I then literally turn around and there's 4 of them in the air.
Hello my fellow Vault Dwellers.
So HOW is Fallout 76 now? I have been waiting for months so that it becomes (hopefully) a better experience. Planning on playing it on an Xbox One X.
Can I play it all by myself? Should I wait 2 more months for even more patches?

You can play by yourself, think I have over 170 hours and most of it was on my own. I love the game but feels like all I can do now is try to get weapons or mods for power armor. Probably should wait for the a week or 2 for the next big update, I think it's coming really soon.
I'm on PC...But.
Its perfectly fine. I only play solo and have really enjoyed exploring the wasteland and learning about the little stuff that happened. Main story is a bit lacking, but it's fine. The huge issues and shit are long since fixed. There are still little issues here and there, but I don't think any major game breaking bugs still exist.
The initial release shit hurt this game. People still consider it garbage because "reasons". If you're at all interested in just wandering and killing shit and leveling up in a Fallout world, you'll have a good time.
Game is fine solo. I play solo on PC and I have fun and I am looking forward to the updates they put out in the future. Game rightflully gets a lot of crap but at the end of the day its a bethesda game and we all know what we are walking into with those. Running around crafting and finding new stuff is a blast and relaxing as well.
Thank you for the quick responses! I will finally order it then.
I'm a huge Fallout fan (mostly because of 1 and 2, but also enjoyed 3 and REALLY enjoyed 4), but I was concerned that the game was simply broken.
The fact that you confirmed that I can play by myself and have a good time is all I needed.
Quick question: How hard will it be to get a full set of T-51 power armor?
Keep in mind that this game is going to be Fallout light. Finding armor is not that hard.
Thanks. Context:
I played 250 hours of Fallout 4 with 100+ cores in a full set of T-51, I also played all of 1 and 2 inside a T-51 so yeah I have to wear that while playing Fallout. Its a major requirement for me.

You're in luck! FO76 feels a lot like FO4. 3 was my personal favorite, but mostly because I spent the most time with it. I thought 4 was great.
I would say, one more time, that if you're looking for a killer narrative, you'll probably be disappointed. But there's a lot of fun to be had in discovering and exploring the various areas.
Oh yea, new content stuff / Wild Appalachia starts next week. Not expecting major changes as it just starts ramping up but it'll be nice to see the roadmap begin to roll out.
Thanks for all the responses ! I'm kinda re-hyped.
Is the tricentennial edition worth it or meh?

Nope. Just go with the regular version. It's all cosmetic stuff in the expensive edition.
A Fallout 4 lover is nice to see lol. I watch Fallout Lore videos and listen to Fallout podcasts and that mainly because of Fallout 3. Started with that game and been playing the games ever since. Love Fallout 4 and even thought about reinstalling it to play the other day just because I liked some of my camps and friendly Deathclaws.
Yeah, people hated the speech and dialog system but it all felt pretty Fallout to me. Great game. 1 is still so, so much better overall, but 4 is great (plus it created the best rendition for the Power Armors yet).
Went on yesterday then saw it was delayed, was on this morning then got a countdown to the servers closing.
For the first time I actually explored the Bunker some more and found the Science Wing lol. Can you find recipes for the drugs and stuff or can you only buy them? I got 2 mutations on me that make me feel like an X-Men, can you get a 3rd?
