All NEW Rewards and Caravan Farming Guide Fallout 76

[@slavcity406]

Just wanna say this to anyone who doesnt have the laser carbine schematics yet.. DO NOT LET SOMEONE CRAFT ONE FOR YOU. If you already have one in your inventory it will glitch the mission out and you wont be able to craft your own Laser Carbines. I already made a bug report and i implore as many people to also report the bug to further push their rush to get it fixed.

[@adammoynihan2589]

The rewards definitely need a rework, i think having the largest caravans also give players 1 treasury note per run or the chance of legendary drops would make them far more appealing

[@GoldenGek]

completely agree, we need to get something that can be used throughout the game and a reason to do keep running the caravans after we've earned everything that's available

[@gametime2473]

There is a trick. if you start your caravan and then help someone complete theirs while yours is sitting idle, you will get the full 50 reward (given they have a large shipment obviously). I have done 3 at once several times for 150 supplies. When doing 3, you will probably have to jump back to your caravan here or there to make sure everything is cool. You may also have a caravan die but most of the time it works great.

[@GoldenGek]

tried this little trick tonight and worked a treat :-)

[@gametime2473]

@@GoldenGek Cool. Glad it helped!

[@Cry42]

Already done with the grind. Got the carbine and mods unlocked, upgraded the goods merchant to 3 and got her outfits, and did a couple brahmin upgrades before deciding they didn’t actually matter. Now just sitting on max supplies waiting for the final vendor so I can get the stuff I actually wanted.

[@GoldenGek]

yeah the upgrades to the brahmin make no difference and actually seems to be the things that are actually bugging out the caravans!

[@munkeyinspace5331]

Currently there seems to be a bug in caravan system. If you see a caravan has started, go start your own caravan, DO NOT TRAVEL TO IT, instead travel to the other caravan. Once you finish their caravan, and if yours is still up, you will get 50 supplies from completing theirs. Anytime I see an active caravan, I start one of my own, join theirs, then complete mine and get 100 supplies. Rinse and repeat, whenever you see a caravan start one of your own. The only issue is if someone else starts your caravan. They might do this because they are also farming extra supplies so it could messy but if you can work with people on this one you can chain them and everyone makes out well.

[@MrSoul-tn3ln]

Yeah... How about no and just do your regular caravan? Because this, as everything Bethesda releases, is bugged as hell, I just tried what you said and I ended up doing a 25 min loop around the area with another guys bugged caravan, I came across mine, it auto started, my caravan was killed and when I finished the damn run I got only 5 supplies, so wasted 1k caps and almost half an hour of my life.

[@skycladobserver9246]

Every...single...time I try to run a caravan of mine the first time that day I get a CTD... every damn time. I'm so tired of their crappy coding. The only way to get that 50 supplies is to do just that, start a caravan and do someone else's. And even that has CTD'd me on occasion. I'm a Fallout 1st member but that may change. I stopped playing years ago and only started playing again a few months ago after hearing that the game was improved and I was enjoying it. Not so much now.

[@strategosxero5843]

I do this and dont really have problems. Im done with all the upgrades and have enough to buy and rank 3 windy when she releases. Sounds like you haven't figured it out yet and thats ok. Just don't tell others to not do it simply because you can't. ​@MrSoul-tn3ln

[@thomas1383]

Gotta say that Im loving the concept of caravans. Would love if they added a mini 3 star boss at the end like they have with Free Range. Along with better supply rewards for people helping, and better event completion rewards. Also, a really solid, helpful, quality vid! +1 sub

[@GoldenGek]

thank you very much appreciated :-) I also completely agree with you on the concept of the caravans and would like to see more of them throughout the world. Also the addition of treasury notes and legendary bosses at the end etc would be much better and would keep people running them too

[@hughejass9461]

Second and third run tonight were bugged as the brahim literally ran through the entire valley. It's not like I can't make my 1100 caps back, or whatever it cost, but what a waste of time. That was my last run until the cryptid hunter is introduced since I have the rifle and up to t2 of the trader's plans. Thanks for the video and take care.

[@GoldenGek]

Thanks for the comment and yes I also have had that happen twice now. It is worth making a bug report to bethesda though as any extra data on this will help them fix it inc any buffs you had on the brahmin etc. I hope that they do add the cryptid hunter as she looks really cool and her items are some of the best!

[@KH88898]

Regarding Josie's brahmin upgrades? Can you purchase them multiple times (do they stack)? Or are they one time purchases?

[@NerdStoryteller]

They do stack, and each one is a one time purchase.

[@kingamongmen7455]

Is it me or do you guys have an issue where the brahmin will walk in a large circle and and drain the 30 minite timer down to to like 5 mins remaining?? Sometimes the brahman will turn around and walk backwards before heading the original direction!?

[@GoldenGek]

yes I had that on stream tonight with another players caravan, there seems to be something that people are giving the brahmin (one of the buffs) that's breaking them. I have only the 1st speed buff and have not had any issues so far.

[@a-train5442]

The amount of grind they're trying to add is just going to push new players further and further away. This new loop is utterly ridiculous and all I can say is that I hope their bottom line reflects their bad decisions.

[@GoldenGek]

I feel there is a lot more they can add, and the 5th hire has all the best plans so I hope they do add her! I think this caravan loop could be fun if there was a lot more danger and it took a lot longer. They could also add this all around appalacia on the existing routes too.....

[@hiddendesire3076]

@@GoldenGek They did announce the bug fix early next month will also increase the payouts for aiding caravans. Also the PA compass glitch.

[@benwilliams8113]

The rewards for doing your own caravan aren’t great themselves, it just gives some ammo and xp. They need to add better rewards to them in general

[@GoldenGek]

yes I agree, some are pretty cool though and annoyingly the ones from Windy (npc not yet in game) are actually some of the best!!

[@unknownuser110]

Remember everybody start a caravan but then go do another players before your own as you get their full reward of 50 then your own 50

[@GoldenGek]

Do be careful though as I have started a caravan to do this and almost instantly been attacked by a swarm of honey beasts right at the start. Some routes start point is overlapping with the mid point of another route so this can sometimes cause you to seemingly start with an enemy attack! If this happens then you will just fail your caravan, loose the caps and not get the high rewards for helping someone else.

[@misfit4ever01]

Really?this has never worked for me did it the other day and still only got 5 from their caravan

[@Lordoftheapes79]

So many people complaining about the grind... Let's call 5000 supplies the target number. With the reward being 50 per large run, that's 100 runs, or 100 days if your an average player that only has the time and caps to run it once per day. If you run 2 per day, it'll take 50 days. Add in the extra supplies from helping others either getting a full pay out while yours is active or just taking your 10% cut, then factor in that these count towards the new repeatable score challenge for ranks 100+ and you're getting that 10% cut AND extra score. Most people will be done with the grind in a month or less, but will still run them for the score, which in the end, translates into Atoms. And who wants free money? No one. Ever.

[@strategosxero5843]

It takes about 10 hours to max everyone and to have enough to get the new vender when she releases. People just love to complain. I've also gotten crazy levels doing it.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@strategosxero5843 I did around 30 in the first couple days, but once I sat back and looked at the big picture, this is best farmed with a group. If you rotate the order once per day, and consistently complete all 4 with a large caravan, you'll average 500 supplies per day.

[@strategosxero5843]

@Lordoftheapes79 all mine were done leveling up the first day. I've started feeding my magnificent moo moo so I can get supplies again. As I said. It doesn't take long at all if you know what you are doing and that's the thing. Most people don't know what they are doing. Cremator, friendly fire. Simple. And before anybody says oh well I don't have the cremator cause I didn't play that season. Buy it from mortimer for 750 gold b's. I've probably wasted about 600 supplies before realizing I was at cap and started to use it on feed so I can get more and not waste it.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@strategosxero5843 yeah. I'm often getting 100-200 a day per character with little to no effort. I'm more interested in the CAMP bits, so Ineke is second only to Josie and the cattle. I'll get to the other stuff later and I'm only looking at the carbine on my rifle character, but she hasn't done the Skyline Valley questline yet, so the carbine won't be a priority until that's done.

[@strategosxero5843]

@Lordoftheapes79 I haven't even made another character except for a mule. Since the update, I haven't even had to use him to hold anything. Unfortunately out of like 500 plus legendaries I've only gotten 4 crafting mods. Bloodied, vampire, 3 star +3 perception ( for some reason I've seen a +2 as a 2 star.) And a useless one forgot what it was since it's useless. I have 1k supplies waiting on windy release to max her out asap.

[@sloth610]

I'm not going to do it. Im back on my 3rd 6 month grind and this is not what I'm doing. Toooo long and lack of nothing. Spend caps to get supplies to then buy nothing

[@GoldenGek]

I must agree that the time needed to grind this is not met with enough rewards that are necessarily worth the grind for supplies. Even if supplies could be exchanged for legendary modules at a vendor or bullion or something it would give an incentive to run this a lot more.

[@gasad01374]

is there a reason why i dont have the option to start the different caravan tiers? dont even get an option

[@GoldenGek]

the only reason I can think of is if you have not fully completed the initial bump in the road quest?! Check the data tab under side quests and if it's still showing then just highlight it and speak to Marley. The other reason could be if you did the initial quest but went in as part of a team instead of the team leader?

[@senseihuskygaming8015]

So like how do we get the deathclaw bookbag?

[@GoldenGek]

Unfortunately, at the moment, we can't as its a reward from the 5th hire that isn't yet in the game! Fingers crossed they will add her to the next update

[@kylecollins7847]

I'm confused when I go to start a caravan I don't get the option for the shipment size but I've completed the starting quest and can do caravans at anytime

[@GoldenGek]

If you have completed the initial quest as the team leader, when you speak to marley and say you're ready for another caravan you should then be given the option of small med and large for different insurance costs. As far as I am aware there is no reported bug for this so if you are not seeing these options then check in your data tab in side quests that the 'bunp in the road' side quest is showing as completed. If it is showing as completed and this is still happening then submit a bug report via the bethesda.net site

[@the_solo_ghost_]

What's the Deathclaw Jacket outfit in the trailer for this update? If its not atomic shop how do you get it?

For the second upgrade on ammo guy what it cost?

[@GoldenGek]

Apologies just seen your comment, 250 supplies then 500

[@draycephantom9940]

At its current state it’s terrible hope the reward changes next month including bug fixes. Pro tip activate a max tier caravan but don’t go to your caravan instead go to another caravan that someone is doing if you complete it while your caravan is up you will receive full rewards even if you are the participant. can keep doing this so long as your caravan is still up or once your caravan dies. I managed to get hundreds of supplies helping others meanwhile my caravan sits there at start.

[@GoldenGek]

Yes, agreed. I mean at least there are various different runs with different enemies etc but it does feel very same same for no real reason. I did add in the video something to this degree but as it felt like an exploit I didn't add it to the vid, but I do appreciate your comment on the matter. The only issue with this is that if someone else starts and runs your caravan! lol However, I am unsure if you would still get the supplies if others completed your caravan even if you were not present? With a group of friends on a private world though this could be totally legit way to earn a load more for everyone especially if you all had 10 hours between so were only paying 200 caps for the large cargo.

[@GoldenGek]

thanks for the comment although I am a little confused if you are meaning the seasons rewards or the caravans rewards. As far as I am aware the three tiers for the NPC's in the Milepost Zero Caravans just unlock different items but they are all in the same menu. For example Ineke will just have more plans available at tier 3 but they are in the same list.

@@GoldenGek ah sorry, I am talking about the Season/Challenges pages of Rewards/Unlocks...there is no indication of which set or rank you are on, on each page, this time lol

[@nowinsertmemehere6403]

I reallly think that the caravans should atleast give back the caps you pay if you successfully do a carravan since its a insurance of if you lose but nahhh take 1k caps for some meager rewards

[@GoldenGek]

I get your point but I guess that is just like paying insurance anywhere, you don't get it back even if you never make a claim. Caps are pretty easy to get so the value isn't too bad and if you are in no rush the time discounts are high.

[@gametime2473]

What is the point of Caravans? The only point I can see is getting a 15 minute quest to get a new weapon. I have hired the new NPCs and grabbed some upgrades and still don't know what the point is. Is it to redecorate your pointless Caravan HQ? Or is it to rename your Brahmin?

[@GoldenGek]

tbh it seems to be just more content for the game with some additional plans and outfits. I am unsure if this is some kind of test for another idea or whether this will be fleshed out in the future and added to areas all over the game. I certainly think they need to add an end legendary boss fight etc and treasury notes/modules for rewards as atm like you said it is a bit lacking

Unfortunately there are certain bugs that are affecting some players, whilst these are fixed in the PTS, this is likely not going to be rolled out until Dec. To fix some of the upgrade issues you might just need to complete all the dialogue with the npc, exit out and do the task they require then go back and go through all the dialogue again even the bits you have already read and just do this until you get their snowglobe drop. The snowglobe seems to be the thing that triggers the ability to upgrade further. I realise this is a pita but atm it seems the only way.
