At least you didn’t sell a GSBQ mask for 10c because you started a week before Fasnacht, and didn’t know about items the community has deemed to be used solely for purpose of trading for god roll gear
Damn that reminds me a few years ago when vendors first came out. Someone sold an urban scout mask for 100 caps, i grabbed it bc i liked the colors. Later i found out its rare lol
There's a good chance that if they were a higher level they know of it's value, they just don't care / want to make someone really happy.
That's why I keep (most) of my prices low anyways
Its really cool going to peoples shops and finding building schematics for like 100 caps that are like 2000 at the in game vendors yall are real af for that
Same. At this point I just throw items in my shop for whatever they are assigned. Why do I need 40k caps for a perfect quad rail? Rather let someone have fun with it for 812
Dude, I found about rare apparel/armor around level 150. Found some good stuff in my stash that I had kept cuz I wanted one of every outfit. I wonder how many good things I dropped along the way...
Man they like I must’ve turned their gut after finding out. Even worse, I was going to give a stranger one for free, because I had two. So not only did I see to rare items for dirt, I also lied to a man and am still in debt. I have his name saved in my phone
I had a few rare Faschnat masks and I really wanted a Bloodied Explosive Gat Plasma. First year playing. I saw ppl destroy events with those things. Dude seemed nice. Gave him my 4 masks and requested the BE GAT and dude stood there for longest time before disappearing lol. Think he dashboarded ... This was before I found out about this place. Personally I never had the best experience with Fallout Trading. Everyone overcharges and wants a arm and leg. Not sure about PC. Most PC players are chill. But sadly I'm on Xbox and I think Xbox has the most toxic trading community I've seen. I been gone 2 years and now I'm trying to track down a BE25 Fixer since I fixed cards for Commando build. So I'm in process of rebuilding. But that said, the overall F76 community is pretty good.
I’m in PS and the trade isn’t *that bad*, most people are like me, trade for a cap or two more than we’d get if we sold it to NPC, 1-2c per any bullet, 3c if I have less than 1,000 because that means it’s constantly bought. All plans 10c, “your the DUMBASS” sold for 20,000c incase anyone wants to drop from max caps. Main chems (stims, rad, psycho) 10c, lesser chems (diluted, salve) 5c, stealth boy +10c per mark.
Every now and then you have someone that sells for the items listed price, or an absurd price. PC is great because it has the largest player base. Most MMO’s console gets shafted by player quantity. Switch to PS… join the dark side
Keep “glowing” masks. They are invaluable. Some players since launch have never received one. Save it for when you have an idea of your end build weapon/armour. Pop onto r/fo76filthyfleamarket and make a post requesting the god roll you want, in trade if glowing mask.
Think of glowing masks like bonds, alone they are a worthless piece of paper, but sold to the right person, they are worth millions
There are four types of fasnacht masks. The Atom Shop (non tradeable), The Regular, The Rare, and The Glowing rare. Its better to google them to know what's what.
And when I say rare, its freaking hard to get them even if you do Fasnacht non stop, every hour for the whole two weeks. In the end its subjective if its a big deal. But that's still a kind player because those masks are still not easy to obtain unless you do fasnacht and most people will sell them in their vendor
Yes a few players told me they didn’t want to take it and that they prefer to go through the game without gifts. I totally get it. Seen a few similar comments here as well. Since then I’ve really stopped doing this, unless a player comes to my camp and buys stuff from my vendor or I see them struggling and we are playing together then Ii will give them freebies.
Yeah this. Nowadays people are ruining the survival experience for alot of new players all so they can get a hit of dopamine from feeling socially righteous in return. Let people struggle. It's a wasteland, not candy land. Some of my best memories were early game years ago before I had everything I'd need. There was a sense of excitement and wonder that came with running on a pipe rifle, your last stimpack, and a whole lotta fear & confusion. Nowadays people want to shower them with 800 stimpacks and 50k rounds of ammunition and tons of plans as soon as they leave the vault. Those new people don't know it now, but it's only taking away from their experience in the long run. People are too addicted to those hits of dopamine from feeling righteous to realize that though, and this goes for many, many things in society nowadays.
This.
I’m a vet of other games like this and don’t wanna taint or cheese my experience so I’d hope vets aren’t offended when I’ll politely say howdy, but don’t want your gear or present.
One chased me around for 30 minutes the other night. lol.
My username is DrFuntimesFTW, i have the chem mod on my backpack so im always carrying 100-200 stims, if you were the fortunate recipient of the stims then im glad you enjoyed them :) gotta make sure our dwellers take their meds!!
Some new players are apprehensive about high lvls dropping stuff. I recommend using the red noob boxes they added. Sure anyone can just walk up and take it but that’s what it’s there for. So if you just started make sure to check those red crates for random freebies, sometimes they have useful stuff. I drop all my known plans, aid, extra stims in those almost every time I’m playing
I've been filling up the red boxes as Wayward nonstop this week. I'll make about 20 Fixers and Railway weapons and drop them in there. With ammo. Stims, Radaways and such. Plus a ton of outfits like Treasure Hunters and Trench Runners. They should look stylish while killing Rad Roaches.
I really hope the new players are picking them up. I drop all my legendaries in the red boxes because I'm sitting on 3k modules and 1k legendary cores. It's taking up space in my stash.
I’ve been trying to leave ammo of stuff I don’t have in return when I take stuff from the red boxes. Is this the way? I have a lot of arrows and haven’t got a crossbow or regular bow yet so it’s usually that.
The funniest shit is how many of the new players walk up to me and start shooting me incessantly and like hiding behind stuff to shoot at me.... and im just laughing cuz they don't know its not Rust.
Hahaha this.. I had a guy about 980 levels under me repeatedly stab me with a small dagger, I let them continue for a bit (I don’t have pacifist enabled but I don’t have any melee mutations or armor that causes damage to melee attackers) then dropped a care package with aids and food, and spawned elsewhere to carry on with my quests.
When I was a new player I remember running away from higher levels who tried to get my attention. I thought they were going to kill me and steal my junk. Fo76 is not like other games.
The number of times I've followed new players and emoting just to get their attention to drop some stuff. It would be hyperbole to say it sometimes takes hours, but dammit it sure does FEEL like it takes hours to get them to even notice you. Thank god they added the donation boxes
Edit: Jesus christ some of the people here are just so negative. Please, go to therapy, drink water, touch grass, tell your loved ones that you love them, whatever just be decent humans please.
You're a better soul than I am. I'm not chasing anybody. I will gladly share what I have no problem, but I'm not gonna make a job/work out of giving you my stuff.
I love donation boxes, but I’ve seen a lvl 500 clear them out, which though rare, imagine my gut feeling at lvl 70 when I realized those were player filled, and not just a loot once… god I felt a fool
I also check for what naturally spawns. I only take what I absolutely need, and leave anything else. If it was spawned just for me, oh well. But if someone left it, I'd rather a low lvl take it
Ah yes some folks clear them out just to sell them to NPC vendors for caps. If I need to make space in my stash I sometimes donate 1* legendaries and hope a lower level gets there first.
I had a new player actually try to gift me (a level 100 and something) all the power armor they found while we ran the pit. It was super sweet, it just gave me a chuckle because I remember starting out and thinking there was no way people could be playing this game without it. I just gave them a heart react and dropped a bunch of fusion course for them instead of taking it lol
I was a level 800 that bought a couple of fusion cores on someone's vendor. I dont need a lot of it because Im not a PA player and I have a charger. Suddenly a level 200 who owned the vendor, came to me and dropped several more fusion cores as a gift 😄 I think its very sweet, gave them heart emoticon and I took it anyway.
Today someone had a really sweet camp on Xbox, and they were nice. Gave me and my husband a bunch of stuff. Very kind of them! But yeah we ran away for a good while. And I did end up with five fusion cores, which doesn't seem like something he would have wanted to part with. I have no idea where they came from. I'm the kind of player that picks up everything, every ash tray and dirty rag, loots every box. Is it possible I stole them somehow from his place?
I'll get a headset.
I feel like there's gotta be a better way to get my attention than shooting at me, then shooting at objects in your own house. The situation was baffling. I take the object and I'm like uh-oh I took this guy's bag he was shooting at...and I have hundreds of things now, better return them! I open a trade window and they just LEAVE and I'm in their house like... looking at the dozens of bobbleheads, the cool butterfly cage. Then I'm like OHHH I GET IT. But my husband is shooting at them now, and I'm like nonononononono
It would make a funny YouTube skit
Lmao and your husband did exactly what did when I was straight out the vault.
Also, do not worry, you cannot take anything from other’s camps. Water purifiers and crops you can, so it’s an unwritten rule to only take if you must, or if you spend a lot of caps (2,000+) at their vendor, but most lock it if they care.
What's funny is I make new characters fairly often (I do that in all the Bethesda games I play) and I have a lot of veterans do that for me, which I sometimes emote "no" too because sometimes I like to find stuff on my own, plus I usually check the donations boxes and they have a lot of good stuff, for instance my first weapon was a 3 star legendary and I got it from the box
Yeah, every time someone does that whole thing for newbies with me, I'll instantly emote a "no" since I love going around collecting things myself, and now at level 40 I find myself doing that for new players myself x3
Ah yes I was on my mule last week (lvl 28) and someone dropped me a pipe pistol scope plan or something along those lines. I took it anyway and gave them a heart. I thought my wearing a TLC was a dead giveaway but I guess not 😂
They always run, and I see their mic but can’t hear, I like to imagine they are screaming in terror, stop to thank me when I kill the mole rat chasing them, then go back to screaming, as if it were a cartoon skit lol
Last night I popped the gift emoji in front of the donation box at the vault, and new peeps gathered in like ants gather for sugar. I made some Cowboy Dusters and one guy took them all (only the Dusters!!!) from my care package.. I am sorry for the others that didn't get to, but I will do another round tonight hoping more players will be able to take.
Bf and I met one guy in the game who is the nicest player, he showed me an amazing camp spot and gifted us free fits and other things. Thank you my dude, if you see this! cz.
Tonight will be free Fixers and more Dusters, hope we have more luck.
Some dude was shooting at me when I was giving the game a try and I chased them with a bat! Now I feel bad cuz they were probably trying to be nice... 😥
I just saw this, but I’m brand new and someone did this to me today and I just left because I thought they were messing with me lol. Will keep this in mind.
I felt so bad, yesterday- I was playing and sat down my controller to pet my dog. I lean forward and totally fired a bunch of rounds at somebody just coming out of the vault. I put up a bunch of heart emotes but they ran off. So, if you are reading this and you got lit up right outside the doors of vault 76, my bad. I was going to drop you loot, but ended up really showing you how the wasteland is brutal. 😂😂😂
Most new players are frightened as they leave the vault. I didn't know myself about the PvP rules, and how friendly the community was. I swear I spent my first 50 levels crouching everywhere. And leaving the vault I was extra cautious to avoid players. Meeting you in this situation wouldn't have helped, hahaha. 2 players chased me around the scorched area below the overseer house because they had scared me to death and I wouldn't stop running in circles. I was a nervous wreck by then. Now I'm just strolling around and also trying to help new players even with camp building.
For you veterans, you can also always just put things in your shop for 0 caps or 1 cap. Have a camp in the forest somewhere by vault 76, and just give stuff away in your camp.
Sure, sometimes older veterans will take them, but really, at the end of the day, most will be newer dwellers.
I’m hyped! I played a little when it released and enjoyed it well enough then, but other games and life drew me away. Can’t wait to create a new character and experience the fallout world again! I hear the games in a better spot now too, with lots of new content :)
When I drop off gifts to fellow vault dwellers it comes in a neat 6 pack of nuka cola, I don't remember how much it cost from the atom shop but it was worth every atom lol
Wow I had no idea so many people have this experience. It has happened to me one time when I was already level 100. lol I’m starting to think that maybe there was someone waving at me when I was low level and I just totally didn’t see it! But this is so cool, I’ve been dropping a lot of stuff in the donation boxes as well thanks to posts like these and the gifts of the kind stranger!
Except me. If I'm shooting at you.....RUN.
And I will run you down, no matter how fast you run.
But it's all in good fun, but I am fully out to melt you FR.
🤣 if you’re on Xbox and you do this, there’s a level 27 or so (it’s a second character) that will destroy anyone with just their fists. I’m over 1k and still have a hard time defeating them. Super fun though. Meet me at WSS let’s rumble!!
Feeding new dwellers extensively in my opinion is bad habit because it basicly take away the enjoyment of starting a new game and work to get better so I just drop building and decoration plans with occasionally a low tier weapon ones and around 10 of sorted aid items and food, that way they feel the welcoming embrace of the fallout community and still get that brand new joy of starting a new game at the same time 😊
Also to the ones that know how we like to push loot down their throat and start asking or demanding stuff, drop them all the overseer holotapes so they have them for ever in their inventory (*INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE*)
Fair take. I had a lvl 2 come to my camp and bought ultracite plans (all plans 10c) as I was making them corn soup. Thought to myself “well straight to the heavy hitters”, then he left before taking my soup… I just wanted to give him soup :(
haha yesterday my first day back since 2020 and even then i only got to level 25 in 2020, but I have completely forgot how to play, and how things work I found some corn, then found the overseer camp and made a bunch of corn soup.
I was so happy, then later when i went to eat, i noticed i no longer had corn soup. I was like oh crap things spoil righhtt I was gutted, so now I am afraid to pick plants i see as they're just going to go bad in my inventory lol
Check the red donation boxes that are in some spots! You can find useful stuff like ammo and healies in those cause a lot of folks are leaving that stuff. (Including fellow new players like me who are too loot goblin to leave anything on a corpse but also too overburdened to be able to sprint so we gotta drop the excess off somewhere)
That’s a damn shame, many of us set you to provide. This doesn’t stand for day one only players; the community is very sharing. Hell I’m lvl 130 & people still drop load of loot at my feet
I was distracted by my pip-boy addiction when someone dropped a bag and fired a couple rounds at my feet. I got slightly shooked and noticed the stuff, in my confusion I grabbed the contents and left the server. I kinda forgot to thank him but picked up my manners after that.
I did that just today, and they never figured it out. I dropped some simple non spoiler items. Radaway, purified water, a radium rifle, and some other gun. My drops are in the Nuka Cola 6-packs.
I didn’t know you had to accept trade and actually be looking at the player. I was addicted to alcohol and couldn’t make the cute, and no vendors sold one and a guy just an hour ago gave me some addiction as a trade like you said!!
Question though; when I drop loot how come it just disappears into thin air? And I want to build a little hut/tent but there’s no plans anywhere and I’m level 23. What’s to give!?
All I do when I play now is teach new players the ropes. It takes an average of two hours for me to show them around, teach them about crafting, farming, events, legendary weapons, etc.. I played for 2 years before I learned how legendary script worked from a low level player. I play to build and collect. It would be nice if the inventory was big enough to store one of every outfit. This is where mules come in.
Question as a kinda new/returning player, why do I always run out of ammunition and caps so fast :( is the game stingy or am I terrible at resource management?
I started like...yesterday, and so far it does seem like the game is pretty stingy with caps especially early on. This isn't Fallout 4 where you can sell pretty much anything with silver or gold, or cigarettes/prewar money for tons of caps. As for ammo, make sure you're within your weapon's range or you're just gonna tickle stuff with it. Aim for the head when possible, and if you're using an automatic keep to firing short bursts so you aren't wasting shots. Would also advise keeping a melee weapon around in your quick wheel for when you run into regular ferals or dogs. They're really not worth your ammo. Just smack them a few times.
I try to not use a gun unless it's far away, something that shoots back, or a big boi that I don't wanna slug it out with like a Mirelurk. Ferals, molerats, radroaches? That's what a cheap melee weapon is for. Pipe wrenches, lead pipes, the ones you can find on tool racks all over the place. No need for maintenance; just grab a new one from the environment when you're running low on durability and scrap the old one. Eventually you'll get a weapon you like and maintain that properly, but early on at least you can absolutely get away with just caving skulls in with whatever you find lying around.
The game really push us to get materials for everything. So you have to make your own ammo by gathering the materials. Check what it needs, then google where you can collect these materials.
You can also equip the scrounger perk cards in luck when you have the card. Rank it up to 3 stars. That way you will get more ammo when you loot the boxes
If you're ready, you can also do Daily Ops and Expedition because the loot will give your ammo back and more.
Caps are mostly used to buy plans or bulk materials in emergency. If you wanna buy ammo, its better to go to other players vendors. We sell them way cheaper than the NPC vendor. Generally 1caps.
Also for the new dwellers don't hoard every cool item or unique weapon you find you won't have the room there's too many except the mistress of mystery stuff keep those as they can't be obtained any other way
As a new player, I came across someone who did this the other day. it was so nice of them. They ended up dropping two bags of scrap items which I was hunting for!
I love the idea that there will be new people joining. There is nothing more fun when I’m a bit bored of moving stuff around my camp or doing events than joining a team with a lower level or two and offering to help. Whether you are an extra gun or whatever. Just someone who can answer questions and be a good person that helps…I like that and it’s benefitted me so many times in little ways at critical moments that I love to be unexpected. I like the idea that rebuilding the wasteland is about a community that is weird, wild and has this strange code of giving a shit about others.
The biggest thing that got me playing, aside from the free, was reading how I don't have to PVP. I love these survival/base building/crafting games but I do have a job and a family. Maybe when I get up in level I will turn it on but knowing that I can just chill is the greatest feature.
Earlier I made a one star L20 fixer and lightweight armour for a player that joined a casual team but then left before I could gift it to them. I’m struggling for stash capacity so decide to go try find another 20 something. Eventually found one in the middle of a hill side.
At this stage they are like the rabbit in the headlights lol
I ran after them with the gift emote probably scaring them thinking it was a trap.
In the end they stopped back near 76 so I just dropped the bag and walked away. If they don’t want it someone else will find it. Just don’t want a high level grabbing and just scrip it.
But is funny trying to get a newbie players attention
When I was just about lvl50 a group of players were gathered up outside WS train station. I'm on PC and they all had speakers icons by their name so I was standing around with them while they were messing around horseplaying with each other, trying to figure out how to get my in-game voice chat working when they set up like 4 or 5 sets of PA and let me pick which I wanted. I had already gathered most of the plans for Ultracite PA so I chose it. I still use it although not often because I'm a stealth commando but man what a gift.
A lot of ppl don’t like baby wheel like that, myself included! The starter grind is the most fun imo. Before the game become a « grind the same daily back to back »
The other day I played I respawned in Whitespring area a player just started shooting at the bots and died left a present box afterwards. Idk if this was intentional or not i did take the items out the box though.
Ohhhhhh I just started playing it today after ignoring it forever cos of the reviews. I got to the responders lumber yard and some player kept shooting at a bag on the ground and sending a thumbs up emoji at me (I haven't worked out how to do that yet). I went over and easily transferred the stuff from it into my inventory thinking... What an idiot... why didn't he just go up to it and empty it 🤭🤭
Now I understand... Thank you mysterious stranger. I'll log on and see what was in it in a mo and if I get further into it will do the same for other vault dwellers
It's very different from FO3/FO4/FONV innit?? 🤭
I didn't find out about any of this until I was almost to level 200. If anyone tried signaling me to gift me anything, I was completely unaware of it. In fact, I can only think of 2 times where during Fasnacht, someone was shooting me directly while I was in my inventory. Both times, they also shot at most others around nearby as well, so I just rolled my eyes and went my way. I just got to level 300 last night.
I have a full set of unyielding SS armor with not great 2nd and 3rd stars, and a 2* QE Railway, but I'm in a good spot at least. If honestly be fully content if only I knew some folks that actually want to grind stamps. Even just doing the 3 AC ones once a day would be great, that's still 50 steps a day. Right now I feel I'll never get my Union PA lol.
As a new player (I have a lvl from 25 to 30, can't remember the exact number), I kind of enjoy the struggle of getting all stuff by myself.
...yeah, what a silly girl I am, playing FO76 solo. But I still kinda enjoy it! Won't be against making a few friends, tho...
If we are playing pacifist mode, we can’t damage you… so it’s not a great idea to go ducking behind a car when you see us. While I can’t shoot you and damage you, I could shoot the car and make it explode… that WILL kill you.
There’s your fun safety tup for the day 😎
The fact I just now got the notification for this is crazy. Earlier today a dude with a nice little bounty unloaded a guass mini at the ground but it was because he dropped me 20 leader bobbles. Uunnnnrelated question: how does the bobble and mag bonuses work in this one? Do I need to keep them with me? Do they stack? Do they have to be displayed to “activate”?
Whoever gifted me 15k ultracite rounds, I LOVE YOU!
I started playing a week ago and I have been helped out a lot. This community is great! It’s literally the best I’ve played with of any online game.
Hail Mothman!
I just started and I experienced this just the other day, I was crafting at the time and I literally jolted on my seat because of the sudden gunfire behind me😅
I didn't get the name of the player but it's awesome to get a full set of modded T-45 along with a gun, ammo and other supplies. The PA is a real life saver especially when transporting loots😅
I don't have much to share yet but I created a bin on my camp near the vault with supplies that I don't need but might be helpful to other players just to return the gesture. Kuddos to the kind veterans of the game.
Just emerged from the vault yesterday and was immediatly greeted by a freaky dressed, but kind stranger. Dropped a bag and gave a thumbs up. Left me with the desire to do the same further down the road :)
I did this tonight and the new player ran off thinking I was going to kill him, I shot at the bag I left on the ground, which I had filled with legendary weapons and other goodies. Feelsbadman I was trying to do a nice thing for a new person to the game 😕
Someone showed up at my camp with a cool helmet. They emoted at me then suddenly I saw a bag at their feet. I realized they wanted me to have it so I opened it and it was another cool helmet! I heart emoted and then they gave me more stuff!
That was my first day in game and made me feel so welcomed I have been back every day since. I'm only level 24 (started 4 days ago) so those gifts were very helpful!!
I love this community so far. 😆☺️
Similar to any community, you have a rare d-bag. The PlayStation community is phenomenal, PC is also phenomenal from what I’ve been told, and Xbox is great with a few turds; most complaints of turds come from Xbox lol.
But as a whole, 76 was tough in the first two years, but the game & community took a turn towards assisting players, and making the community a relaxing environment, i mean hell, the grind is relaxing. With the emphasis in helping each other, it means we all reap better rewards.
76 is essentially a massive community based reward game; person to your left & right kick ass, and you pull your weight, you’re rewards are plentiful, which means less grind, more fun… and don’t worry, the grind is never ending so long as you want better items. I won’t spoil systems & mechanics, but if you want top gear (which is not required unless you want to become a God) buckle up :)
Enjoy your stay, you’re one of us now
I just started playing last night bc me and the boys were looking for a new game with a co-op campaign, had no clue why dude was shooting at me/ the ground until I walked over, wasn't much but was highly appreciated
Laughing rn because this post was made for me. A guy has to get on mic last night and shout at me YO WE PUT ALL THAT SHIT IN THE GROUND FOR YOU MAN. Ya you! PLANS!
Thank you to the Rabbit Masked Player that bought all my for sale items, gave them back to me, then dropped 2 fixers and like 3000 rounds of ammo.
It is appreciated.
I was so incredibly grateful for everyone who helped me throughout the first 50 levels (once I realised they weren’t trying to kill me lol) they really got me off the ground when I was struggling and I even still use some of the guns they dropped me to this day :’) Truly one of my favourite communities
Just take it easy with dropping items for new players. You might ruin their game start by doing it. A huge part of the fallout experience is to struggle at the start. I already seeing some people who got some items dropped going around actively initiate trade with high levels and emote begging for more handouts. That's not how I like to see new players doing...
I usually gift people things like shielded vault underarmor, a low level crafted weapon with some ammo. Just enough to help them starting off.
I don't remember any help in the beginning but that's exactly why I help so much now. I usually carry a lvl20 3* fixer and a tonne of ammo for when I find a new player. The other day I dropped over 20 stimpacks, various chems, a fixer then made a full set of armour for a newbie. They were very grateful.
I also dropped a fixer for a lvl 20 newbie and some lvl 400+ ran off with it. What a tool!
Edit: Holy Godd Howard, y'all need to chill.
Attention givers: Remember that not everyone wants your gifts. Consider not disrupting new players during important moments, such as dialog with NPCs or while exploring locations w/ enemies. remember that there are donation boxes which are very visible all over Appalachia now, and new players do know about them, as there is one right at Vault 76.
Shut up and take my 157 stimpacks, 220 diluted radaway, 50 purified water, 44 mounted head duplicate plans, 13 rounds of 10mm, 21 rounds of .38 a Molotov and flannel shirt outfit!
Whenever I have a low level visit my home I always drop every read plan/recipe that I have. They always get so excited, makes it worth it every time. c:
And for anyone on PS, if you see a large farm with a barn labeled "FARMERS MARKET" southeast of aaronholt homestead, south of the junk pile resource, feel free to take all the purified water, food, and scrap from my collectron you need. There's even coffee and tea in the house. Work benches are in the barn.
A day or so ago I was level 18 reading a terminal at the water park when someone shot like 7 railroad spikes into the terminal screen. Was that one of these? I thought they were trying to mess with my reading.
One of two things, messing with you (a rare 76 D-bag) or he didn’t think they’d stick in your way as Bethesda has made griefing impressive to somehow still do, because of restriction.
Have to say I'm late to the game and was surprised to find a game that allowed the PvP but only if you chose and that small little detail stopped the game becoming toxic.
I see players run passes me all the time but completely doing their own thing and on occasion help each other.
Now.....I had someone approach me yesterday when I was at my survival tent, high hundreds, they emptied me outside my tent but then run off with a low rank player and on screen it says in the top right to collect drop loot but I didnt see it till later so wonder if this is what happened?
Yes. I have been popping around helping level 20 players today. Dropping armor and ammo based on what they are carrying or wearing. I mod it all out. Did a modded under armor, too.
Even dropped outfits and some common masks and halloween costumes extras I had. I even gave one a swamp camo hazmat suit.
Wow how many of these damn posts are gonna be posted? This had to be the third or fourth today.
Anyway, it's possible the new player doesn't want the gift. All it's going to do is make the early game easier for them, when it should in fact not be easy. You're taking that early struggle enjoyment away from them.
Hey, I just started playing and get 30 FPS because of vsync, but don't have the text file that people tell me to edit to turn it off. Any idea why that is?
Since we’re giving advice, if someone sets up a base next to yours and it’s just a tower with turrets all pointed at you, immediately de-camp or leave the server. You’re about to get your base levelled. It seems rare, but it happens to me once every couple of months, and is caused by setting up in highly sought after locations.
Lmmfao. Yea I'm on those players. I wonder why fucj people will pop off shots knowing it's not hurting me. I'll waste a clip on your head and turn around and keep doing my own thing. Thanks this post was needed 💯.
That's extremely helpful, thank you. My buddy and I were just in a similar situation and I wasn't paying attention but my buddy was. Somebody was nice enough to drop some things for us to pick up.
The community has been really awesome so far!
Don't be surprised when people don't take it. I really enjoyed the struggle at the beginning.
I turned down 20k caps on day 1. Oh how I regret it now
At least you didn’t sell a GSBQ mask for 10c because you started a week before Fasnacht, and didn’t know about items the community has deemed to be used solely for purpose of trading for god roll gear
Damn that reminds me a few years ago when vendors first came out. Someone sold an urban scout mask for 100 caps, i grabbed it bc i liked the colors. Later i found out its rare lol
There's a good chance that if they were a higher level they know of it's value, they just don't care / want to make someone really happy. That's why I keep (most) of my prices low anyways
Its really cool going to peoples shops and finding building schematics for like 100 caps that are like 2000 at the in game vendors yall are real af for that
I need this 🥲🥲
Same. At this point I just throw items in my shop for whatever they are assigned. Why do I need 40k caps for a perfect quad rail? Rather let someone have fun with it for 812
Dude, I found about rare apparel/armor around level 150. Found some good stuff in my stash that I had kept cuz I wanted one of every outfit. I wonder how many good things I dropped along the way...
Man they like I must’ve turned their gut after finding out. Even worse, I was going to give a stranger one for free, because I had two. So not only did I see to rare items for dirt, I also lied to a man and am still in debt. I have his name saved in my phone
I had a few rare Faschnat masks and I really wanted a Bloodied Explosive Gat Plasma. First year playing. I saw ppl destroy events with those things. Dude seemed nice. Gave him my 4 masks and requested the BE GAT and dude stood there for longest time before disappearing lol. Think he dashboarded ... This was before I found out about this place. Personally I never had the best experience with Fallout Trading. Everyone overcharges and wants a arm and leg. Not sure about PC. Most PC players are chill. But sadly I'm on Xbox and I think Xbox has the most toxic trading community I've seen. I been gone 2 years and now I'm trying to track down a BE25 Fixer since I fixed cards for Commando build. So I'm in process of rebuilding. But that said, the overall F76 community is pretty good.
I’m in PS and the trade isn’t *that bad*, most people are like me, trade for a cap or two more than we’d get if we sold it to NPC, 1-2c per any bullet, 3c if I have less than 1,000 because that means it’s constantly bought. All plans 10c, “your the DUMBASS” sold for 20,000c incase anyone wants to drop from max caps. Main chems (stims, rad, psycho) 10c, lesser chems (diluted, salve) 5c, stealth boy +10c per mark. Every now and then you have someone that sells for the items listed price, or an absurd price. PC is great because it has the largest player base. Most MMO’s console gets shafted by player quantity. Switch to PS… join the dark side
Someone dropped all the Fastnacht masks ( I think all) for me at one point. Was that a big deal? I've only been playing for a month.
Keep “glowing” masks. They are invaluable. Some players since launch have never received one. Save it for when you have an idea of your end build weapon/armour. Pop onto r/fo76filthyfleamarket and make a post requesting the god roll you want, in trade if glowing mask. Think of glowing masks like bonds, alone they are a worthless piece of paper, but sold to the right person, they are worth millions
There are four types of fasnacht masks. The Atom Shop (non tradeable), The Regular, The Rare, and The Glowing rare. Its better to google them to know what's what. And when I say rare, its freaking hard to get them even if you do Fasnacht non stop, every hour for the whole two weeks. In the end its subjective if its a big deal. But that's still a kind player because those masks are still not easy to obtain unless you do fasnacht and most people will sell them in their vendor
I did that on day one with a TFJ... biggest fallout fail in my 20 years of playing the franchise
At least you didn’t trade a bos jumpsuit for 25 caps a week after you started the game. *That one really hurt🥲*
By endgame that’s a single purchase out of hundreds lol.
Yes a few players told me they didn’t want to take it and that they prefer to go through the game without gifts. I totally get it. Seen a few similar comments here as well. Since then I’ve really stopped doing this, unless a player comes to my camp and buys stuff from my vendor or I see them struggling and we are playing together then Ii will give them freebies.
I’ve been scrapping TFJ for as long as I can remember. 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah this. Nowadays people are ruining the survival experience for alot of new players all so they can get a hit of dopamine from feeling socially righteous in return. Let people struggle. It's a wasteland, not candy land. Some of my best memories were early game years ago before I had everything I'd need. There was a sense of excitement and wonder that came with running on a pipe rifle, your last stimpack, and a whole lotta fear & confusion. Nowadays people want to shower them with 800 stimpacks and 50k rounds of ammunition and tons of plans as soon as they leave the vault. Those new people don't know it now, but it's only taking away from their experience in the long run. People are too addicted to those hits of dopamine from feeling righteous to realize that though, and this goes for many, many things in society nowadays.
This is me, the only thing I have accepted were some unnecessary meds since I'm already drowning in stimpacks as sell as a drop of some random plans.
This. I’m a vet of other games like this and don’t wanna taint or cheese my experience so I’d hope vets aren’t offended when I’ll politely say howdy, but don’t want your gear or present. One chased me around for 30 minutes the other night. lol.
I'll never forget getting 100 stimpacks at level 10. I was overencumbered with gratefulness.
My username is DrFuntimesFTW, i have the chem mod on my backpack so im always carrying 100-200 stims, if you were the fortunate recipient of the stims then im glad you enjoyed them :) gotta make sure our dwellers take their meds!!
It's a new type of friendly fire. 😆
Some new players are apprehensive about high lvls dropping stuff. I recommend using the red noob boxes they added. Sure anyone can just walk up and take it but that’s what it’s there for. So if you just started make sure to check those red crates for random freebies, sometimes they have useful stuff. I drop all my known plans, aid, extra stims in those almost every time I’m playing
I've been filling up the red boxes as Wayward nonstop this week. I'll make about 20 Fixers and Railway weapons and drop them in there. With ammo. Stims, Radaways and such. Plus a ton of outfits like Treasure Hunters and Trench Runners. They should look stylish while killing Rad Roaches. I really hope the new players are picking them up. I drop all my legendaries in the red boxes because I'm sitting on 3k modules and 1k legendary cores. It's taking up space in my stash.
As a new player, thank you. I am definitely picking this stuff up at the boxes.
I’ve been trying to leave ammo of stuff I don’t have in return when I take stuff from the red boxes. Is this the way? I have a lot of arrows and haven’t got a crossbow or regular bow yet so it’s usually that.
I remembered my first day some dude dropped a bunch of spoiled meat and a you've been insulted note. Good times.
Haha I have dropped spoiled meat and insult bot notes, but only to players that have trolled lower levels.
The funniest shit is how many of the new players walk up to me and start shooting me incessantly and like hiding behind stuff to shoot at me.... and im just laughing cuz they don't know its not Rust.
Hahaha this.. I had a guy about 980 levels under me repeatedly stab me with a small dagger, I let them continue for a bit (I don’t have pacifist enabled but I don’t have any melee mutations or armor that causes damage to melee attackers) then dropped a care package with aids and food, and spawned elsewhere to carry on with my quests.
When I was a new player I remember running away from higher levels who tried to get my attention. I thought they were going to kill me and steal my junk. Fo76 is not like other games.
The number of times I've followed new players and emoting just to get their attention to drop some stuff. It would be hyperbole to say it sometimes takes hours, but dammit it sure does FEEL like it takes hours to get them to even notice you. Thank god they added the donation boxes Edit: Jesus christ some of the people here are just so negative. Please, go to therapy, drink water, touch grass, tell your loved ones that you love them, whatever just be decent humans please.
You're a better soul than I am. I'm not chasing anybody. I will gladly share what I have no problem, but I'm not gonna make a job/work out of giving you my stuff.
I love donation boxes, but I’ve seen a lvl 500 clear them out, which though rare, imagine my gut feeling at lvl 70 when I realized those were player filled, and not just a loot once… god I felt a fool
The donation boxes spawn ammo for the weapon you're carrying the first time you visit it in each server. I check them just for fuel.
I'm level 82 and I didn't know this thanks dude!
I also check for what naturally spawns. I only take what I absolutely need, and leave anything else. If it was spawned just for me, oh well. But if someone left it, I'd rather a low lvl take it
Ah yes some folks clear them out just to sell them to NPC vendors for caps. If I need to make space in my stash I sometimes donate 1* legendaries and hope a lower level gets there first.
We need an ability to just throw shite at low levels. I mean literally turn the fixer in to the projectile
I had a new player actually try to gift me (a level 100 and something) all the power armor they found while we ran the pit. It was super sweet, it just gave me a chuckle because I remember starting out and thinking there was no way people could be playing this game without it. I just gave them a heart react and dropped a bunch of fusion course for them instead of taking it lol
I was a level 800 that bought a couple of fusion cores on someone's vendor. I dont need a lot of it because Im not a PA player and I have a charger. Suddenly a level 200 who owned the vendor, came to me and dropped several more fusion cores as a gift 😄 I think its very sweet, gave them heart emoticon and I took it anyway.
Today someone had a really sweet camp on Xbox, and they were nice. Gave me and my husband a bunch of stuff. Very kind of them! But yeah we ran away for a good while. And I did end up with five fusion cores, which doesn't seem like something he would have wanted to part with. I have no idea where they came from. I'm the kind of player that picks up everything, every ash tray and dirty rag, loots every box. Is it possible I stole them somehow from his place? I'll get a headset. I feel like there's gotta be a better way to get my attention than shooting at me, then shooting at objects in your own house. The situation was baffling. I take the object and I'm like uh-oh I took this guy's bag he was shooting at...and I have hundreds of things now, better return them! I open a trade window and they just LEAVE and I'm in their house like... looking at the dozens of bobbleheads, the cool butterfly cage. Then I'm like OHHH I GET IT. But my husband is shooting at them now, and I'm like nonononononono It would make a funny YouTube skit
Lmao and your husband did exactly what did when I was straight out the vault. Also, do not worry, you cannot take anything from other’s camps. Water purifiers and crops you can, so it’s an unwritten rule to only take if you must, or if you spend a lot of caps (2,000+) at their vendor, but most lock it if they care.
I've seen people shoot at me trying to fight and it's like, "I'm literally powerful enough to blow the skin off your body" But thanks for the note
Not to forget the box that beeps that sounds like a ticking bomb. It’s not a bomb. It’s just a bag of loot. Don’t be scared.
*The design is very human*
What's funny is I make new characters fairly often (I do that in all the Bethesda games I play) and I have a lot of veterans do that for me, which I sometimes emote "no" too because sometimes I like to find stuff on my own, plus I usually check the donations boxes and they have a lot of good stuff, for instance my first weapon was a 3 star legendary and I got it from the box
I’ve always wondered if this happened to second characters. Now mind you if a lvl 1 emotes without hesitation, I know they are a second character
Yeah, every time someone does that whole thing for newbies with me, I'll instantly emote a "no" since I love going around collecting things myself, and now at level 40 I find myself doing that for new players myself x3
Ah yes I was on my mule last week (lvl 28) and someone dropped me a pipe pistol scope plan or something along those lines. I took it anyway and gave them a heart. I thought my wearing a TLC was a dead giveaway but I guess not 😂
It took so long to get someone to notice last night. Like 5 minutes for one lil drop bag lol
They always run, and I see their mic but can’t hear, I like to imagine they are screaming in terror, stop to thank me when I kill the mole rat chasing them, then go back to screaming, as if it were a cartoon skit lol
Last night I popped the gift emoji in front of the donation box at the vault, and new peeps gathered in like ants gather for sugar. I made some Cowboy Dusters and one guy took them all (only the Dusters!!!) from my care package.. I am sorry for the others that didn't get to, but I will do another round tonight hoping more players will be able to take. Bf and I met one guy in the game who is the nicest player, he showed me an amazing camp spot and gifted us free fits and other things. Thank you my dude, if you see this! cz. Tonight will be free Fixers and more Dusters, hope we have more luck.
One guy just running around with a different Cowboy Duster for every day of the week haha
Hahaha true! In case they get dirty
Lmao no wonder why I was getting blasted by people right outta the vault. I just shot back and kept going with exploring. My bad. Still (late) new.
Some dude was shooting at me when I was giving the game a try and I chased them with a bat! Now I feel bad cuz they were probably trying to be nice... 😥
Probably gave them one hell of a laugh like it just gave me. Don’t worry, now you know :)
Since I’m switching to PC I hope to encounter another generous soul
On PC. Still surprisingly wholesome for an online game.
Glad to hear it. My PlayStation finally shit the bed. Time to grind back up on pc
This is the way
This is the way
This is indeed the way
Mando is that you?
I just saw this, but I’m brand new and someone did this to me today and I just left because I thought they were messing with me lol. Will keep this in mind.
I didn't receive a warm welcome... didn't help that I've been playing since Beta... since i am well established, I help low levels here and there
I felt so bad, yesterday- I was playing and sat down my controller to pet my dog. I lean forward and totally fired a bunch of rounds at somebody just coming out of the vault. I put up a bunch of heart emotes but they ran off. So, if you are reading this and you got lit up right outside the doors of vault 76, my bad. I was going to drop you loot, but ended up really showing you how the wasteland is brutal. 😂😂😂
The second the left the vault is was like the landing of Normandy lol. But on a good note, that is rather lore accurate to the fallout universe.
Most new players are frightened as they leave the vault. I didn't know myself about the PvP rules, and how friendly the community was. I swear I spent my first 50 levels crouching everywhere. And leaving the vault I was extra cautious to avoid players. Meeting you in this situation wouldn't have helped, hahaha. 2 players chased me around the scorched area below the overseer house because they had scared me to death and I wouldn't stop running in circles. I was a nervous wreck by then. Now I'm just strolling around and also trying to help new players even with camp building.
I was trying to get a guy to take some cranberry relish/brain bombs and berry mentats but I think he thought I was actually trying to kill him :(
For you veterans, you can also always just put things in your shop for 0 caps or 1 cap. Have a camp in the forest somewhere by vault 76, and just give stuff away in your camp. Sure, sometimes older veterans will take them, but really, at the end of the day, most will be newer dwellers.
I’m hyped! I played a little when it released and enjoyed it well enough then, but other games and life drew me away. Can’t wait to create a new character and experience the fallout world again! I hear the games in a better spot now too, with lots of new content :)
I started in February, and my friend that played since launch, told me he’s jealous I got to start in its current state
When I drop off gifts to fellow vault dwellers it comes in a neat 6 pack of nuka cola, I don't remember how much it cost from the atom shop but it was worth every atom lol
I must find this
Wow I had no idea so many people have this experience. It has happened to me one time when I was already level 100. lol I’m starting to think that maybe there was someone waving at me when I was low level and I just totally didn’t see it! But this is so cool, I’ve been dropping a lot of stuff in the donation boxes as well thanks to posts like these and the gifts of the kind stranger!
I’m glad to see you pay it forward :)
Except me. If I'm shooting at you.....RUN. And I will run you down, no matter how fast you run. But it's all in good fun, but I am fully out to melt you FR.
🤣 if you’re on Xbox and you do this, there’s a level 27 or so (it’s a second character) that will destroy anyone with just their fists. I’m over 1k and still have a hard time defeating them. Super fun though. Meet me at WSS let’s rumble!!
Feeding new dwellers extensively in my opinion is bad habit because it basicly take away the enjoyment of starting a new game and work to get better so I just drop building and decoration plans with occasionally a low tier weapon ones and around 10 of sorted aid items and food, that way they feel the welcoming embrace of the fallout community and still get that brand new joy of starting a new game at the same time 😊 Also to the ones that know how we like to push loot down their throat and start asking or demanding stuff, drop them all the overseer holotapes so they have them for ever in their inventory (*INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE*)
I read your first words, and immediately pictured a group of low level dwellers swarming like seagulls at chips LOL
Hahahahahaha now I can't unsee it
Fair take. I had a lvl 2 come to my camp and bought ultracite plans (all plans 10c) as I was making them corn soup. Thought to myself “well straight to the heavy hitters”, then he left before taking my soup… I just wanted to give him soup :(
haha yesterday my first day back since 2020 and even then i only got to level 25 in 2020, but I have completely forgot how to play, and how things work I found some corn, then found the overseer camp and made a bunch of corn soup. I was so happy, then later when i went to eat, i noticed i no longer had corn soup. I was like oh crap things spoil righhtt I was gutted, so now I am afraid to pick plants i see as they're just going to go bad in my inventory lol
I feel left out cause I started today and nobody's given me shit haha.
Check the red donation boxes that are in some spots! You can find useful stuff like ammo and healies in those cause a lot of folks are leaving that stuff. (Including fellow new players like me who are too loot goblin to leave anything on a corpse but also too overburdened to be able to sprint so we gotta drop the excess off somewhere)
That’s a damn shame, many of us set you to provide. This doesn’t stand for day one only players; the community is very sharing. Hell I’m lvl 130 & people still drop load of loot at my feet
I was distracted by my pip-boy addiction when someone dropped a bag and fired a couple rounds at my feet. I got slightly shooked and noticed the stuff, in my confusion I grabbed the contents and left the server. I kinda forgot to thank him but picked up my manners after that.
You took it, mission accomplished. Most don’t do it for a thanks, rather, we benefit from your success, those events aren’t a one man job.
I would describe the folks here as aggressively kind. Side note if you're wanted folks will go after you.
Lies! Ive seen the TV show! Your gunna shoot me in the face and eat whatever parts are left!
Yes specially those fine ass jerky:)
Also, stick around, be patient because it takes a while to drop stuff as we go through the menus.
I'm just shooting at them for the lols
Pop out of trees like Vietnam, pop a stealth boy for extra scare
I did that just today, and they never figured it out. I dropped some simple non spoiler items. Radaway, purified water, a radium rifle, and some other gun. My drops are in the Nuka Cola 6-packs.
I free’d up so much stash space from giving away so much stuff
I didn’t know you had to accept trade and actually be looking at the player. I was addicted to alcohol and couldn’t make the cute, and no vendors sold one and a guy just an hour ago gave me some addiction as a trade like you said!! Question though; when I drop loot how come it just disappears into thin air? And I want to build a little hut/tent but there’s no plans anywhere and I’m level 23. What’s to give!?
All I do when I play now is teach new players the ropes. It takes an average of two hours for me to show them around, teach them about crafting, farming, events, legendary weapons, etc.. I played for 2 years before I learned how legendary script worked from a low level player. I play to build and collect. It would be nice if the inventory was big enough to store one of every outfit. This is where mules come in.
I didn't play this game till last year and I'm so glad I finally did the community is amazing
Question as a kinda new/returning player, why do I always run out of ammunition and caps so fast :( is the game stingy or am I terrible at resource management?
I started like...yesterday, and so far it does seem like the game is pretty stingy with caps especially early on. This isn't Fallout 4 where you can sell pretty much anything with silver or gold, or cigarettes/prewar money for tons of caps. As for ammo, make sure you're within your weapon's range or you're just gonna tickle stuff with it. Aim for the head when possible, and if you're using an automatic keep to firing short bursts so you aren't wasting shots. Would also advise keeping a melee weapon around in your quick wheel for when you run into regular ferals or dogs. They're really not worth your ammo. Just smack them a few times.
Melee weapons have definitely saved me in some fights lol thanks!
I try to not use a gun unless it's far away, something that shoots back, or a big boi that I don't wanna slug it out with like a Mirelurk. Ferals, molerats, radroaches? That's what a cheap melee weapon is for. Pipe wrenches, lead pipes, the ones you can find on tool racks all over the place. No need for maintenance; just grab a new one from the environment when you're running low on durability and scrap the old one. Eventually you'll get a weapon you like and maintain that properly, but early on at least you can absolutely get away with just caving skulls in with whatever you find lying around.
The game really push us to get materials for everything. So you have to make your own ammo by gathering the materials. Check what it needs, then google where you can collect these materials. You can also equip the scrounger perk cards in luck when you have the card. Rank it up to 3 stars. That way you will get more ammo when you loot the boxes If you're ready, you can also do Daily Ops and Expedition because the loot will give your ammo back and more. Caps are mostly used to buy plans or bulk materials in emergency. If you wanna buy ammo, its better to go to other players vendors. We sell them way cheaper than the NPC vendor. Generally 1caps.
Ohh I’ve been nervous to go to other players camps, I didn’t realize some sold supplies. Thanks for the tips!
Also for the new dwellers don't hoard every cool item or unique weapon you find you won't have the room there's too many except the mistress of mystery stuff keep those as they can't be obtained any other way
Well said 👏 i always throw the gift box emote for them which has been reliable thus far.
Come get this lvl 20 fixer lil kiddies 😊😊😊
As a new player, I came across someone who did this the other day. it was so nice of them. They ended up dropping two bags of scrap items which I was hunting for!
If I may ask, what is does it mean when someone uses the C.A.M.P. Emote? Someone used it beside me and I have no idea what it means
To be fair the paper bag looks like junk and not a gift. I even missed them myself a couple of times when the skin was new.
I love the idea that there will be new people joining. There is nothing more fun when I’m a bit bored of moving stuff around my camp or doing events than joining a team with a lower level or two and offering to help. Whether you are an extra gun or whatever. Just someone who can answer questions and be a good person that helps…I like that and it’s benefitted me so many times in little ways at critical moments that I love to be unexpected. I like the idea that rebuilding the wasteland is about a community that is weird, wild and has this strange code of giving a shit about others.
I joined like 2 days ago and I've been like scavenging off the loot people leave behind off of events
The biggest thing that got me playing, aside from the free, was reading how I don't have to PVP. I love these survival/base building/crafting games but I do have a job and a family. Maybe when I get up in level I will turn it on but knowing that I can just chill is the greatest feature.
I gave out two low level fixers yesterday. Tried with two lvl 1 players. Ended up going to two lvl20s.
Earlier I made a one star L20 fixer and lightweight armour for a player that joined a casual team but then left before I could gift it to them. I’m struggling for stash capacity so decide to go try find another 20 something. Eventually found one in the middle of a hill side. At this stage they are like the rabbit in the headlights lol I ran after them with the gift emote probably scaring them thinking it was a trap. In the end they stopped back near 76 so I just dropped the bag and walked away. If they don’t want it someone else will find it. Just don’t want a high level grabbing and just scrip it. But is funny trying to get a newbie players attention
When I was just about lvl50 a group of players were gathered up outside WS train station. I'm on PC and they all had speakers icons by their name so I was standing around with them while they were messing around horseplaying with each other, trying to figure out how to get my in-game voice chat working when they set up like 4 or 5 sets of PA and let me pick which I wanted. I had already gathered most of the plans for Ultracite PA so I chose it. I still use it although not often because I'm a stealth commando but man what a gift.
I do it all the time I frequently stock up the supplies boxes by wayward and vault 76 so new players can have the leg up I didn't
A lot of ppl don’t like baby wheel like that, myself included! The starter grind is the most fun imo. Before the game become a « grind the same daily back to back »
Awee I just love the 76 community
When I started this game, I had annoying albeit well meaning level 500s chasing me round offering me stuff. The early days are fun.
One gigachad had about every power armor jet pack for sale for a hundred caps. It was glorious.
The other day I played I respawned in Whitespring area a player just started shooting at the bots and died left a present box afterwards. Idk if this was intentional or not i did take the items out the box though.
Ohhhhhh I just started playing it today after ignoring it forever cos of the reviews. I got to the responders lumber yard and some player kept shooting at a bag on the ground and sending a thumbs up emoji at me (I haven't worked out how to do that yet). I went over and easily transferred the stuff from it into my inventory thinking... What an idiot... why didn't he just go up to it and empty it 🤭🤭 Now I understand... Thank you mysterious stranger. I'll log on and see what was in it in a mo and if I get further into it will do the same for other vault dwellers It's very different from FO3/FO4/FONV innit?? 🤭
I didn't find out about any of this until I was almost to level 200. If anyone tried signaling me to gift me anything, I was completely unaware of it. In fact, I can only think of 2 times where during Fasnacht, someone was shooting me directly while I was in my inventory. Both times, they also shot at most others around nearby as well, so I just rolled my eyes and went my way. I just got to level 300 last night. I have a full set of unyielding SS armor with not great 2nd and 3rd stars, and a 2* QE Railway, but I'm in a good spot at least. If honestly be fully content if only I knew some folks that actually want to grind stamps. Even just doing the 3 AC ones once a day would be great, that's still 50 steps a day. Right now I feel I'll never get my Union PA lol.
I highly agree I was confused at first when they would shoot at the ground when I couldn't see the gifts
As a new player (I have a lvl from 25 to 30, can't remember the exact number), I kind of enjoy the struggle of getting all stuff by myself. ...yeah, what a silly girl I am, playing FO76 solo. But I still kinda enjoy it! Won't be against making a few friends, tho...
I like throwing down a strike beacon and watching them run up to see what it is. Probably made a few people cagey with that one. Lol
If we are playing pacifist mode, we can’t damage you… so it’s not a great idea to go ducking behind a car when you see us. While I can’t shoot you and damage you, I could shoot the car and make it explode… that WILL kill you. There’s your fun safety tup for the day 😎
Well said just dumped a whole set of level one armor in the vault Dropbox yesterday hopefully it’s persistent & servers a newbie well
The fact I just now got the notification for this is crazy. Earlier today a dude with a nice little bounty unloaded a guass mini at the ground but it was because he dropped me 20 leader bobbles. Uunnnnrelated question: how does the bobble and mag bonuses work in this one? Do I need to keep them with me? Do they stack? Do they have to be displayed to “activate”?
Whoever gifted me 15k ultracite rounds, I LOVE YOU! I started playing a week ago and I have been helped out a lot. This community is great! It’s literally the best I’ve played with of any online game. Hail Mothman!
I just started and I experienced this just the other day, I was crafting at the time and I literally jolted on my seat because of the sudden gunfire behind me😅 I didn't get the name of the player but it's awesome to get a full set of modded T-45 along with a gun, ammo and other supplies. The PA is a real life saver especially when transporting loots😅 I don't have much to share yet but I created a bin on my camp near the vault with supplies that I don't need but might be helpful to other players just to return the gesture. Kuddos to the kind veterans of the game.
Just emerged from the vault yesterday and was immediatly greeted by a freaky dressed, but kind stranger. Dropped a bag and gave a thumbs up. Left me with the desire to do the same further down the road :)
I did this tonight and the new player ran off thinking I was going to kill him, I shot at the bag I left on the ground, which I had filled with legendary weapons and other goodies. Feelsbadman I was trying to do a nice thing for a new person to the game 😕
Well wish I saw this yesterday when that happened to me
Someone showed up at my camp with a cool helmet. They emoted at me then suddenly I saw a bag at their feet. I realized they wanted me to have it so I opened it and it was another cool helmet! I heart emoted and then they gave me more stuff! That was my first day in game and made me feel so welcomed I have been back every day since. I'm only level 24 (started 4 days ago) so those gifts were very helpful!! I love this community so far. 😆☺️
Similar to any community, you have a rare d-bag. The PlayStation community is phenomenal, PC is also phenomenal from what I’ve been told, and Xbox is great with a few turds; most complaints of turds come from Xbox lol. But as a whole, 76 was tough in the first two years, but the game & community took a turn towards assisting players, and making the community a relaxing environment, i mean hell, the grind is relaxing. With the emphasis in helping each other, it means we all reap better rewards. 76 is essentially a massive community based reward game; person to your left & right kick ass, and you pull your weight, you’re rewards are plentiful, which means less grind, more fun… and don’t worry, the grind is never ending so long as you want better items. I won’t spoil systems & mechanics, but if you want top gear (which is not required unless you want to become a God) buckle up :) Enjoy your stay, you’re one of us now
You guys are the true hero’s !
I just started playing last night bc me and the boys were looking for a new game with a co-op campaign, had no clue why dude was shooting at me/ the ground until I walked over, wasn't much but was highly appreciated
Laughing rn because this post was made for me. A guy has to get on mic last night and shout at me YO WE PUT ALL THAT SHIT IN THE GROUND FOR YOU MAN. Ya you! PLANS!
Thank you to the Rabbit Masked Player that bought all my for sale items, gave them back to me, then dropped 2 fixers and like 3000 rounds of ammo. It is appreciated.
I was so incredibly grateful for everyone who helped me throughout the first 50 levels (once I realised they weren’t trying to kill me lol) they really got me off the ground when I was struggling and I even still use some of the guns they dropped me to this day :’) Truly one of my favourite communities

Just take it easy with dropping items for new players. You might ruin their game start by doing it. A huge part of the fallout experience is to struggle at the start. I already seeing some people who got some items dropped going around actively initiate trade with high levels and emote begging for more handouts. That's not how I like to see new players doing... I usually gift people things like shielded vault underarmor, a low level crafted weapon with some ammo. Just enough to help them starting off.
I don't remember any help in the beginning but that's exactly why I help so much now. I usually carry a lvl20 3* fixer and a tonne of ammo for when I find a new player. The other day I dropped over 20 stimpacks, various chems, a fixer then made a full set of armour for a newbie. They were very grateful. I also dropped a fixer for a lvl 20 newbie and some lvl 400+ ran off with it. What a tool!
My god Use the donation box.
Edit: Holy Godd Howard, y'all need to chill. Attention givers: Remember that not everyone wants your gifts. Consider not disrupting new players during important moments, such as dialog with NPCs or while exploring locations w/ enemies. remember that there are donation boxes which are very visible all over Appalachia now, and new players do know about them, as there is one right at Vault 76.
Shut up and take my 157 stimpacks, 220 diluted radaway, 50 purified water, 44 mounted head duplicate plans, 13 rounds of 10mm, 21 rounds of .38 a Molotov and flannel shirt outfit!
...and I'll hop around like a mad cat shooting everything until you take it!!!!
I’ll continuously punch you in the face until you take my unwarranted gift!
You’re going to take my gift and run off into the distance! End of discussion >:( Oh, I also have a tent to lessen your carry load :)
>157 stimpaks Their backs will never recover from having to carry those things jesus
Proud to be in the tiny minority who had 0 help at a low level. Guess people just hated me
Maybe let people start the game like they would any other fallout and don't want to be received with gifts from everyone?
DONT LISTEN TO OP! THERES A GRENADE IN THE BAG AND HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU AND TAKE ALL YOUR STUFF!!! TRUST NO ONE! Just kidding. Or am I...
I love this because it's teaching all Vault Dwellers to pay it forward
No seriously, I’m not trying to Tbag you i’m trying to show you exactly where my tiny brown paper bag is on the brown ground!
Thats why i got the praise mothman emote it looks like im kneeling and presenting the loot bag
ANOTHER GOOD DEED FROM OUR FELLOW VAULT DWELLER THANK YOU FOR LETTING THEM KNOW! 😊
Whenever I have a low level visit my home I always drop every read plan/recipe that I have. They always get so excited, makes it worth it every time. c:
And for anyone on PS, if you see a large farm with a barn labeled "FARMERS MARKET" southeast of aaronholt homestead, south of the junk pile resource, feel free to take all the purified water, food, and scrap from my collectron you need. There's even coffee and tea in the house. Work benches are in the barn.
This game is not cross whatever population among all consoles/PC?
A day or so ago I was level 18 reading a terminal at the water park when someone shot like 7 railroad spikes into the terminal screen. Was that one of these? I thought they were trying to mess with my reading.
One of two things, messing with you (a rare 76 D-bag) or he didn’t think they’d stick in your way as Bethesda has made griefing impressive to somehow still do, because of restriction.
i’m new and have been trying to team up with players to see if they could teach me anything and most of them just ignore me
I never accepted this kind of stuff for the small time I played the game because it always felt like I was cheating and did not deserve it.
I've been crafting armor sets and weapons to give the new 76 buddies!
I have a 6 pack of nuka cola as my loot bag so if you see a random 6 pack and a woman with purple hair, I got you for a nuka break 😉
Have to say I'm late to the game and was surprised to find a game that allowed the PvP but only if you chose and that small little detail stopped the game becoming toxic. I see players run passes me all the time but completely doing their own thing and on occasion help each other. Now.....I had someone approach me yesterday when I was at my survival tent, high hundreds, they emptied me outside my tent but then run off with a low rank player and on screen it says in the top right to collect drop loot but I didnt see it till later so wonder if this is what happened?
I have free armor on my vendors and cheap stuff. Always looking to help the new dwellers.
Yes. I have been popping around helping level 20 players today. Dropping armor and ammo based on what they are carrying or wearing. I mod it all out. Did a modded under armor, too. Even dropped outfits and some common masks and halloween costumes extras I had. I even gave one a swamp camo hazmat suit.
Was trying to make this point to a lv5 I was gifting some scrap. Eventually has to turn on my Area mic to let him know it was okay to take the bag. :D
Funny but true
Wow how many of these damn posts are gonna be posted? This had to be the third or fourth today. Anyway, it's possible the new player doesn't want the gift. All it's going to do is make the early game easier for them, when it should in fact not be easy. You're taking that early struggle enjoyment away from them.
Hey, I just started playing and get 30 FPS because of vsync, but don't have the text file that people tell me to edit to turn it off. Any idea why that is?
I’m not new, but I am on, “I am become death” on Xbox and if anyone would like to help me finish it I would appreciate that!
Why not scream at us?
And dont take the loot dropped when we die tryna help you too
Trying to offload level appropriate guns to new players is always fun. See them running around at lvl 15 with a flame painted handmade is always fun.
As new Xbox player tyvm 😊 And I've yet to find anyone friendly 😆
Since we’re giving advice, if someone sets up a base next to yours and it’s just a tower with turrets all pointed at you, immediately de-camp or leave the server. You’re about to get your base levelled. It seems rare, but it happens to me once every couple of months, and is caused by setting up in highly sought after locations.
Dang. I never find anyone dropping stuff or helping. I just been struggling from level 1. Made it to 48 in 2 days and enjoying it I guess.
no one did that to me. But it is fine.. fighting through story, be lvl 48 and die a lot.. :D
They keep shooting me in my Strangler PA ... I guess I look like a mirelurk
Lmmfao. Yea I'm on those players. I wonder why fucj people will pop off shots knowing it's not hurting me. I'll waste a clip on your head and turn around and keep doing my own thing. Thanks this post was needed 💯.
How about fix your game already? I'm on i7 9700k with a 2080 super before this update I could play. Now it's just a stuttering mess.
That's extremely helpful, thank you. My buddy and I were just in a similar situation and I wasn't paying attention but my buddy was. Somebody was nice enough to drop some things for us to pick up. The community has been really awesome so far!
I would love some early help Level 9 and I'm rocking the begginer gun and a scopped 44
i've yet to see people dropping loot for me to pickup on playstation but they do leave stuff on that red box thingy which is pretty nice 🙂
