Everyone Should Know These Unwritten Rules | Fallout 76

[@prizmere]

Lately I've received comments from people voicing their concerns around having to follow rules, let me clarify the point of this video. If you can't be bothered reading, here's the TL;DR: Rules =/= unwritten rules. Play the game any whichever way you want to, as long as you're not breaking ACTUAL rules. Non-TL;DR: These unwritten rules are OPTIONAL. As far as I'm aware they can act as a guideline from the perspective of a general (majority) consensus on a certain topic, and that is what I based this video on. While not scientific by any means, seeing similar videos, reading posts on Reddit, and having played the game for quite some time, has given me an overall idea of what the consensus is. The like/dislike ratio on this video does seem to validate it as well, though that one is in hindsight of course. Play however you want, having fun is the point of games after all. Some people will hate you for it, just like some people are hating on me for making this video (albeit a small minority). While I do think you'd be showing more respect to people around you by following most of these points, personally, I wouldn't care if you were to go completely against them. I won't hold it against you unless you're actually griefing. Going against these rules doesn't automatically mean you're griefing though, just to be clear. Regarding "Nuke correctly", yes, it's completely fine to drop the nuke wherever you want. Need materials? Fight SBQ in the zone, not a problem. The reason why I chose these specific drop locations is because I figured it'd be ideal to keep lower level players in mind, I think it's cool when they can participate in boss events. This topic is not quite as black & white as some make it out to be, but I should've indeed mentioned things like this as well, unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to make a perfect video. Hopefully that clarified some things. Have a good rest of your day!

i agree with your video i also would like to say for the whole explodig weapon thing ,im set to pacifist and other players killed me with thier explosive weapons since i am a melee build i have to get close to the enemy im going where their explosions are going and yeah i died in xo1 power armor in eviction notice a few times

[@leaelzebub811]

Another rule: defend the people playing instruments at One Violent Night. Don't keep walking outside, especially when there's only like 3 players there and/or mostly lower level players. Ghouls will come in other doors and from the roof and the people playing will get overwhelmed. Normally, don't one shot things, but absolutely one shot ghouls attacking musicians.

[@atleastimtrying5391]

Yes 🙌

[@ketami.]

I cant even remember the amount of times I died because nobody defended me. Then when I defend nobody is playing the instruments 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@davidolson3776]

Keep in mind the jukebox counts as an instrument. I normally stealth on top of it and keep restarting it when it stops. This is how you can solo this event, but also help when it is a joint effort.

Another quick unwritten rule from a player who's been playing since the beta. Don't make your vendor hard to find and don't put them in your shelter. As soon as I spawn into your camp your vendor should be quick and easy to find. Most people don't want to go through two loading screens to get to your vendor so don't put them in your shelter.

[@bryanlaboy2582]

Sometimes certain players (like myself) integrate the vendor as part of the build. I try to make sure it’s the first thing you’ll see/recognize regardless of the number of loading screens

[@dartrunner]

I stopped caring about making them very obvious ever since I had a build where everyone would go into my house instead of looking at the 20 vault boy pointing signs all pointing at the vendor.

[@doppoorochi2427]

I have the vender in the shelter and in the CAMP, when I reach 40k caps, I remove it from the CAMP.

[@zachy427]

[@dartrunner]

@@zachy427 How does AFKing screw over anyone? The loot pool and chances aren't shared for everyone in an event. They are rolled per player on an individual basis. I agree that it is annoying to be the only one doing the event objectives while others don't help, but it's not messing with anyone.

[@eirikjormungandrson]

Don't hide your vendor behind inaccessible rooms in your camp with arrows pointing into your shelters. No one wants to wait through a second load screen just to find out all your items for sale are set to 40k

[@DeaconBlues117]

In fact, finding your vendor should never be a hide-and-seek game. Put it somewhere it's easy to find, so you can sell more stuff.

Not on the second floor hidden like most peoples.

[@Bonkler__]

Good vid. Something to add for Eviction Notice; if you are running Power Armor, please repair the rad scrubber when it breaks. Most of the squishy Bloodied players will go down instantly, causing mobs to start swarming the area. So it's important that the people with high defense/resists to repair it ASAP.

[@Barlofontain]

Nuke Correctly - Don't forget that nuking isn't just for starting events, it's also for farming flux, so much of what you said is for low level players that dont know about flux, not "unwritten rules" Don't fight the SBQ at V9 because then half the radiation zone off the map and its useless for picking nuke flora afterwards. Leave Starion Delta or Glassed Caverns free if you can't fight in the radiation zone, but fighting in the rad zone is best because all the enemies drop ingredients for making flux. Also don't melt the queen as fast as you can, you get more spawns and therefore more XP the longer you keep her alive You can nuke Skyline Valley and there is no radiation zone, so it doesn't matter if you nuke the weather station Collecting Ore in Rad Rumble gives better spawns, snallys, deathclaws etc, so more XP... get the ore

[@prizmere]

I agree, if you're nuking SBQ and want to farm flux you'd go about it in a different way. Ultimately it comes down to what your goal is when initiating the nuke, would've been worth a mention for sure, along with keeping her alive for a while for better overall gains. Wasn't sure about Skyline Valley, since the Nuke Zone doesn't even appear after touchdown. Thought it might still exist at the impact area (should've checked to be sure), but good to know!

[@fivenotewonder]

Also getting rank 4 of ore collected with one or more survivors give a chance at highest levels of rewards. (Emmit rad suit and rad barrel plan)

I don't know how many times I've tried my best to save a noob from this. At Suitors more often than anything else. But then, the other side is that there are some events where the NPC talking to you takes too friggin long and will run the timer out. I was trying to wait at a Dangerous Pastimes the other night and waited too long to talk into the intercom and the dumbass NPC talked my time away.

[@dweezel2003]

No, he is not. Rule number 3 He did not do enough research. The only Explosive weapon that causes the dead enemy bodies to launch in an extreme way is the 40mm auto launcher. One of my five characters is an explosive expert build. If someone that doesn't know better sees this vid they might think that it would be better to avoid explosive weapons or give others unnecessary grief for using them.

[@prizmere]

​@@dweezel2003 Pretty difficult to make a spotless video I fear, so I appreciate the criticism, and it's true I could've done more research/testing. That being said, I also knew some other weapon/weapons create a significant enough ragdoll effect for it to become a problem. It's true that the Auto Grenade Launcher (or Nuka Launcher) is the main culprit though. Did some quick testing just now and the Missile Launcher seems completely fine to use (at least unmodified), but the Fat Man does indeed fling enemies quite far at times, both unmodified and with MIRV. It also brings chaos on screen, which can be fun if used restrictively.

@@-Lucky-Six- In my haste posting my comment I mislabeled Demolition expert weapons as Explosive weapons. The only Demolition weapon that has that problem is the 40mm auto launcher.

I hate how this applies to so many other gamed at the same time. If ya don't have anything to actually say, keep ones self muted

[@HumpingBunny]

I’ll never forget playing a long time ago where a child was on the parents account playing and the mic was absolutely horrendously loud playing their audio out of the tv. Due to echo I realized I could take advantage of the situation and put on explosive weapons and kept following them around shooting. After the child started crying the dad came in yelling at the game. I told him to fix his audio and threw maybe 30 orbital strikes. They finally fixed their audio after yelling a bunch. Bad parenting, bad fallout experience, 10/10 would do again. Maybe I was the villain but the 12+ people complaining about the audio during events sure appreciated the silence after.

[@Arnold.Ziffel]

I have left Moonshine Jamboree a couple time before when several people sit on the top of the building spamming the area with explosives and never come down to collect the venom. I end up missing too much exp as I can't see the dang mobs. I use the 5mm gatling gun so I don't kill mobs and other people have a chance at the exp. There are a lot of cool people out there but the recent influx of dorks is causing me to stay on my private server more lately.

[@spagsunfiltered]

Definitely agree with the explosive weapon spamming in events. When multiple people do it, it seems to really lag the server. I know people love their weapons, but some restraint is nice.

[@HeadHunterSix]

Yeah, it definitely makes Moonshine Jamboree a lot less fun, and honestly Eviction Notice becomes a bit more difficult when I can't distinguish targets among all the explosions.

Another thing is be aware of where people visiting your camp will spawn. I have visited many people's camps only to spawn inside their foundations. Once you place your camp move the camp module so that a visitor doesn't spawn inside somewhere they can't get out.

[@DeaconBlues117]

Apparently the spawn location is related to where you initially put the module down, not where it is now, so my advice is to move as you spawn into a camp in order to minimize your odds of being caught underneath.

[@defjam113]

​@@DeaconBlues117No, you can absolutely change the spawn location by moving your module. I used to always spawn in the river at my first camp but I moved the module and that no longer happens.

nice video, one very important one that i think 90% people dont know, rad rumble, if you run off down to the top of the slopes to get XP you will actually nerf the spawn rate for yourself and everyone else. STAY in the middle, use a tesla rifle to tag, enjoy the massive amount of XP

Skyline Valley actually is the only region where you can nuke anywhere inside the region, but not harm anyone or their bases. While the area affected by the nuke still has that nuclear ambiance and environment, you will not die if the nuke goes off if you are say right where the nuke is supposed to go off, and afterwards, the area will not dose you with Rads.

[@thelonewolf8050]

I agree with these unwritten rules that you shared, they are helpful, especially the two (one is don't lockpick other people's stuff at their camps), and the other one of spamming their explosive weapons especially in events, which I have found to be rather irritating on both Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

[@lastwymsi]

Its pribably due to the NukaLauncher being in the atom shop currently. The best auto40mm does have a significant pull to use :P

[@brianrmc1963]

Great food for thought and, while I agree with you mostly, it is important to remember that it is just a game. Any game mechanic that is not some kind of hack is inherently “fair play.” For example, I don’t pick someone’s CAMP resources or take over their workshop, but I don’t complain when someone else does it to me. My Archer or Melee character doesn’t complain that your railway rifle is killing everything so fast, so relax when it’s whips out the Nuka Launcher or starts throwing Nuka Grenades. My Power Armor character doesn’t complain when your Bloodied Commando doesn’t throw on a Steath Suit on and lumber, overweight, through the tunnels collecting ore. I don’t complain; it’s just a game.

[@prizmere]

Of course! Hopefully it helps people gather an idea of how they'd like to play, but ultimately none of this is set in stone, it's up to the individual. For all it's worth, I mostly don't care what people do when I'm out there playing on my own. Yes, it's unfortunate that people sometimes camp the RR tunnels, spam explosives or whatever it may be, but I'd never care enough to actually get annoyed, or worse yet, to get on the mic to give them "a few choice words". Someone wants to chuck a nuke on my camp? No problem, but I'd much rather see that nuke go somewhere useful instead lol. A game like this is made to be played for fun, so if one's not having fun, it kind of defeats the point of playing.

Not mentioned in the video, but has been commented: Vendor placement. Put them where they are easily seen and accessible. Also, have at least two!!!!! But another point, to shoppers: WAIT for a camp to fully LOAD before you go tearing through the area, then bitch about not being able to find it. At least half the time they are directly in your line of vision, but you were impatient. WAIT! Kind of in the same vein: pay attention to where visitors to your camp spawn!

All good to know! I am in the 80/90 level right now and I didn't know this. Thank you!

[@ElectableDane]

just FYI but you can also drop the nuke right on top of the weather station because the nuke doesnt actually hit the ground so there's no nuke zone. No one is gonna be getting tons of rads when fighting the goliaths

[@DrMisanthrope]

Absolute truth! It's my dream to see all players in f76 using this rules)

[@dematar]

So I'm a relatively new player to FO76, haven't even played for a month yet, however I am a veteran of other MMOs. Many of these unwritten rules are basic sense for anyone who's played a cooperative multiplayer game online. With that in mind, a few observations I've made in FO76. I've run into multiple instances where I've run all around another player's camp trying to find the vender, and never succeeding, that now if I can't locate the vender within a few moments of arriving at the camp I just take off to the next one. I also don't understand the people who have plans in their venders going for over 5,000 caps. It would make sense if there wasn't a cap limit, but I'm not sure if they're actually trying to sell these items, or just bragging that they have them. (With that in mind, I did just buy a cutting fluid plan for 8,000 caps, but according to everything I read online, that is one of the rarest plans and I did not get it from the opening quest line) As a power armor junkie, I've been trying to collect all the basic power armor plans, ie Raider, T-45, T-51, and T-60, only to find the players who are selling them have priced them out of my available caps. (And yes I did take to spamming treasure maps to collect these plans and I'm now only short one plan for the Raider and T-45 sets, the rest I've gotten. But I've sold the duplicate plans I've gotten from the maps for a much more reasonable 500-1000 caps in hopes that it helps out other new players who want them like I do) I figured out the waiting for other players for the big public events without anyone telling me. Primarily because when I first started playing, I had no idea what the objective was, so there was no chance in hell I was going to be that guy to start it. That said, I have seen low level characters rush in and start them with no one else around. I'm particularly reminded on one Moonshine Jamboree event where a lvl 55 player started the event with only them, myself, and one other player present. Now that was a shit show. As for Eviction Notice, I do tend to perch at one spot, but I'm constantly scanning and looking for mobs. If I see a group that no one is attacking, I'll rush off to kill them. With that in mind, I have seen some higher level players just sitting at the bottom of the hill, not engaging any mobs, clearly looking to just grab the legendary loot. But I was thinking, wouldn't it be more beneficial to everyone if players sat closer to the machine, drawing all the mobs to it so that we all can get more loot, as opposed to essentially splitting it into two camps, where one has a significantly higher legendary loot pool.

[@dartrunner]

For the team, start it in expedition or daily op and let others join, then switch it to casual while you do the expedition or daily op for more xp, then switch it back right before you complete the expedition or daily op. I do this with events all the time as well.

[@xoth2306]

Its kinda funny that in 76 most pepole do actualy follow these rules, compaired to most other online games where everyone is looking out for themselfs. The 76 comunity is pretty great =)

[@MitaMoriEDM]

Okay so for the nuke thing the neurological warfare event will start no matter where you nuke in skyline valley and it doesn’t matter if you nuke right in the wether station or not because the nuke dissipates in the atmosphere so there is minimal radiation

[@k1llerduckoffical619]

Loved the video. The more people who play with theses rule the better for everyone

[@panther_5421]

Thanks for this. Now hopefully the one shot people that show up to events see it. I've leveled up in Radiation rumble several times during one event. Other times, I barely make any progress because of the one shot people firing away. While rare, those massive explosions have crashed my game too. So frustrating!

[@FadingVitals]

Don’t freeze the scorched Queen when she’s in the air!

[@rolfkraulein2903]

Why not, do you wanna waste ur Ammo for not hitting the Queen, i am always Happy about it, If someone is freezing her in the Air, so i can hit her with my Heavy Weapons, If she is flying around Like crazy, i cannot hit her and this Ammo wasting

Thank you sir for making this video. A very educational video for new comers. Especially the explosive ammo and insta killing.

[@dantealighieri47]

I agree. Mostly. Sharing experience is hard. Oh...and i would have included not to start daily ops early. Had that happen twice today. Third time; me and one other person finished it easily because i was able to put power armor on, which can take time with lag and visual glitches.

[@Oquirrh]

These past 2 days I've done radiation rumble people have been spamming a Fatman with +1 projectile so I rarely get any experience because all the ghouls in the area immediately die. It's very annoying

[@chuckcookus]

I like irradiated boss areas for the high radiation fluids.

[@trevino73]

Love the rules buddy. Keep them coming. Just subscribed. 👍

[@rolfkraulein2903]

Do not go Offline or deactivate your Camp, when someone wants tu buy Something at your Vendor

[@DeaconBlues117]

Especially when your camp is in the mountains and you've put your vendor on a ledge hanging out over the abyss. It's not fun to be in the middle of browsing someone's plans only to suddenly fall to my death nowhere near another respawn point.

[@dsmith8051]

That's selfish. I despawn my ventor immediately when someone buys over 40k. And I reach 40kz multiple times a session.

[@inspectortragic]

I've had people just want free stuff. If they don't at least check the vendor before grabbing stuff, I immediately log off. Or when someone is attacking my camp, I'll log off so they free fall

[@murderwasthebass1]

Also for radiation rumble, for the collecting ore portion, you really only need to get reward level one just for it to complete.

[@martyschaefer862]

Very true, especially if you solo it, however I find the more ore (up to level 4) seems to (for me at least) result in more or higher level legendary items to drop. Also Friendly Fire - charisma card (and a Flaming weapon) will keep the NPC workers at high to full health. I usually put on my Chinese Stealth grab 10 ore and switch back to my regular armor/under armor at the beginning.

[@The_Defiance]

You can directly nuke the weather station 2:30

[@lunarhexagon8108]

nuking for Earl, I would say is to not nuke in way to also hit robot arena, often it indeed, as if intentionally, starts during place being still in radiation zone

[@prizmere]

Good point, that slipped my mind!

[@Haywood.Yablomee]

I had someone message me bitching about XP on the rad rumble one… I’m a really nice guy, I always drop 20 plus stims for low level players and help them when they start events alone.. that shit bothered me though. Complaining about XP when the objective is to keep the guys alive. At least you seem to understand there are different priorities at different times.

[@zombiTrout]

I usually drop company tea before the event starts.

[@RespectTheFlag--X]

A lot of people especially higher level players do that event exclusively for the XP

[@atleastimtrying5391]

Unless you were camping hallways I don’t see what you can do wrong

[@jessem3143]

I find the worst thing about people spamming explosive weapons is that the screen shakes violently when in first person mode as well as a large explosion animation when you're close so it's difficult to get a lock on an enemy when there's somebody firing a rocket or mini nuke every few seconds. It's even more annoying when the event is in a fairly small indoor space like uranium fever or radiation rumble.

[@prizmere]

Thankfully you can at least do something about the camera shaking. There should be an option for it within Display settings if I recall correctly.

[@ATacoCat76]

Great video! Very pertinent and important information players must know.👍🏽

[@jamespobrienphotography]

Actually, with the queen you can also nuke to the north and leave a bottom location free to jump to

[@Bjornvetr]

Also, don't spam Cremators on spawn areas; one shot is enough, two are annoying, three make you a terrible player.

[@J90I]

I do like Nuking nuka world when I do the ultracite titan. The glowing mass and HRF are worth it.

[@johnthebarbarian]

I legitimately didnt know that was how Eviction Notice started 😮

[@rzoomingsi9732]

enemies killed by explosive weapon will turn into meat piles at the place they got killed, if you wait a few seconds you can still loot them. No worry about the corpes flying away

[@prizmere]

Thanks for sharing, that slipped my mind. You'd still have to wait for them to spawn unfortunately, which isn't really ideal. Any idea of how long it takes until they become meat piles?

[@nukesfordays6262]

Other Unwritten Rules: 1. Don’t make your Vendor, Shelter or Candy Bowls hard to find 2. Don’t go idle on vendors 3. Don’t steal other people’s XP when they are clearing out buildings 4. If you have a wanted level just let others take it so that you can enjoy the game 5. Always see if low level players need any help 6. Don’t go idle during events 7. Don’t go into a silo if you see someone else in there, as this spawns more enemies and makes it harder to complete the nuke 9. Set your vendor prices to a reasonable price Also I always nuke: For Queen: Just Under Drop Site V9 For Titan: Right On Top Of The Mine For Earl: Just On It For Neurological: I Nuke Right On Top Of Tree Ponds I also use The Fixer or The Creamator as they are my favourite weapons. I don’t touch other peoples stuff unless it’s unlocked. I don’t start events unless I have at least 5 people. When I am doing Rad Rumble I focus on healing the NPC’s because I have Friendly Fire.

[@MrVenemie]

My main rule look after yourself and your group its the wasteland theres alot of scammers out there thatll try to rob or lowball you and always look after your circle that being people you play with or trade with or even the odd regular player you meet in the wasteland, always salute high levels as we have been here longer and give tons of free stuff away to help low levels plus carry them though events and launch nukes for them (aka when everyone was hating the game we stayed since beta then haters watched the tv show then loved it lol) and always make sure to use a trusted courier if you trade even for small items unless you trust or know them, there is nice people in the wasteland but not everyone is nice, also dont hate on trap camps as its part of the game youve gotta admire someones creativity

[@dartrunner]

Unwritten rule: If someone complains about explosions but is rude about it, craft nuka grenades and hand them out to people to annoy the other guy.

[@Hamburger007-iq7vd]

there's something even better for those annoying guys: get the Hellstorm missile launcher, upgrade it to cryo payload. Then equipo grenadier level 2....that things completely blinds the screen with whiteness, and it slowly fades away.

[@leifschmitz2251]

Standing on a concrete box isn't fun for the queen fight, Nuke it right and fight her at forward station delta, AND you have a chance to spawn a collossus wendigo in the grove. Way more mobs and mayhem, way more fun.

[@chuckcookus]

That's basically an Earl, takes forever to solo but you can set up a survival tent and take your time. I always include that forest in the nuke zone.

[@Saintbow]

What's funny is, I've never seen anyone follow these rules. People always spawn camp, spam explosive weapons to launch the bodies, start events early. I see it from low levels and high levels.

Another thing if someone comes to your workshop and engages pvp with you dont cry about it and say your going to report them thats what workshops are there for its a pvp event. Dont want to pvp dont take workshops or go into a private server

The new area you can nuke the area where the event pops off and it won't kill anyone in the event location because the Rad storm actually eats the nuke it's awesome my friends would nuke it when I was standing in the arena and I didn't die from the nuke that exploded right above me

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@ericjohnson6675]

2. Correct nuking. Nonsense. Your nuke. Your placement. Been the rule for years. Been playing since launch, a bloodied build and still drop it dead center on Fissure Prime occasionally. Why? All the mobs drop stabilizing stabilozing mats for flux.

[@EPCminer]

1. dont share radiation healing perks 2. dont put traps in ur camps 3. dont be a late event joiner

[@KalousTheGuy]

On the subject of Eviction notice.. please God.. stop hoarding around one spot. Specifically, the spot where all the legendaries pop up. You're forcing others to watch the other zones without getting any chances for legendary drops. Step further in towards the scrubber. Risk some damage to the scrubber. Simply because it helps everyone and not just yourself. (As someone who's helping a couple lower levels learn the game, these things really make it hard to let these new guys and gals enjoy these events.) Explosives... there's quite a few trolls when it comes to explosives.. Overall, don't be selfish in events. I've watched selfish actions ruin many players. Only to never see those players return. Be considerate.

[@patriciadawson6357]

The overuse of explosive weapons just gets under my skin. Unfortunately its my FREAKING WIFE who does it. She LOVES to use her explosive cannonballs just as I have killed something and am about to pick up the loot. There goes the body and I have to chase it down. We both play pacifist so I cant just kill her for it. :)

It's great to wait on people but if you're in an event like uranium fever you can fail the event by waiting too long. We started the event 60 seconds before running down and failed the second we got there and everyone was ??? Emoting. It was so sad we had so many people

[@hipsterdoofus1332]

Pretty sure it doesn’t matter in skyline valley where you nuke as the storm absolves all radiation from the nukes.

Idk why i see 4 people sitting at an event running around waiting for people to show up and dont activate the event and get man when i as the 5th person to show up activates it imo if you aint there you snooze you loose

And if you activate it too soon, _everybody_ loses. Best to wait as long as possible for backup, except for Uranium Fever, where you have to leave time to get down to the bottom of the mine to activate the machinery.

[@grandchefauto8363]

Your first rule is like half a rule honestly. You should ALWAYS be in a casual team during an expedition or daily ops. You only get the bonus at the very end of each. Might as well get extra XP from what you are doing instead of just leaving XP on the table just to advertise your actions.
