Hello By Hoobeza

[@glowhoo9226]

Spawned in, went to the first town, and some dude gave me 86 stimpaks and a shotgun. So far every interaction I’ve had with the other players has been really friendly.

[@JHKing42]

I drop them cause they are so damn heavy

[@TheMonkeyEmperor]

5 stims 5 psychobuffs. My angels a dealer😂

[@airyshark324]

Just started a few hours ago haven’t seen anyone alos glad I haven’t lol but so far idk I think I like fallout 4 more

[@TheMonkeyEmperor]

@airyshark324 game wise I'd agree... but this one isn't breaking as much... maybe it's an Xbox thing, but Boston and nuka world don't mix at all...

[@LSDeity]

Golden rule in Fallout 76, always drip out the fresh spawns… hell my first time leaving the vault, I was gifted immediately with plans, stimpacks, and an Imposter Sheepsquatch helmet… Now I do the same.

[@ALMAX65]

I have a camp down at the wayward with all my resources unlocked, so free food for new players, and free stims and radaway in my vending machine, free ammo and plans if I am at my camp. Welcome guys (ps5 player )🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I'm not new to Fallout, but I'm new to 76. Everything in this game has felt so familiar, but SO different. This video is INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you, sir. Every single tip n trick in this video was helpful for me.

[@stevekazavchinski6658]

so its kind of a single player expeirence at times right? Debating if i should finish my fallout 4 game save from 2023 (50%) in, or go here

[@Pr0vi]

@@stevekazavchinski6658 yeah it’s… kinda both. The entire game can be enjoyed solo, with friends, or with randos in the world. You get xp boosts for teaming up. I’ve been mostly questing solo but I know there are some events/dungeons/raid type things that are better w people. I just haven’t gotten that far yet. I would say dive into 76 and if you wanna revisit 4, wait til after the free update drops at the end of this month. Either way, neither game is going anywhere so there’s no wrong answer!

[@jimrustle643]

I tried the game 3 years ago and wasn't into it. tried it again and got hooked massively

I've been playing since the stress test and I'm still learning new things I'm so happy new vault dwellers are coming to Appalachia

[@TheGameboy57]

I seriously don't understand why I keep hearing about turning on pacifist mode. This is one of the nicest online game communities I've ever seen. I've played off and on for like a year or so (watching this vid cuz I'm rusty and need a reminder), didn't even know about the pacifist setting until last week, and have literally never had an issue. Every single player just wants to give you stuff and be friendly

[@Raad187KO]

I played this game for one day last year, been thinking about returning. The one thing I remember was a random online player in power armour landed in front of me, dropped me a gun and some clothes and then flew away like iron man 😂

[@tjson7917]

I don't either. Everyone just wants to help everybody (especially newer players) and enjoy the game. It's by far the best community I've seen for any game

[@nappary5872]

We have had 2 completely different experiences

[@TheGameboy57]

@@nappary5872 prob true, if you are referring to having a bad experience with other players, I think you are in the minority. I have played on PlayStation and Xbox and have never met someone that didn't just try to give me stuff and make my day. You are the first person ok of that has said something different from that

[@patrickjohnson5245]

I went to Wanderer for the first time and got jumped by a level 1000+ squad wearing fully decked out X-01 armor.

[@wisedisguise9210]

As somebody who played on release coming back felt so damn good, finally it feels like a Fallout title. It is a shame that they didn't release the game like this. As for some tips: - To save inventory via scrap you can craft the scrap bundles at your work station (Plastic x2 + the resource) which weigh less - for fast and easy caps travel to player camps (before you may join a public team in which they're in so you don't have to pay travel fees), collect all the purified water from the purifiers & fruits and sell them - another way for caps is to plant fruits yourself or even setup a secondary fruit farm/purifier camp - get the super duper perk in luck and remember to equip it when you craft food/ammo et cetera

[@NeardyThings]

So excited for all the new people flocking & hope they see what we love about this silly sometimes messy game 🥰

[@kawaii_gamer_core4096]

I hope it will become crossplay so I drag my friends into it

[@s41magazine37]

No cross play???

[@NeardyThings]

@@s41magazine37 there is not! My guess is server instability.

[@LowestHonor]

More people will definitely start playing after the new show. The show was genuinely made well and is very good.

[@RustyGames777]

I can’t believe I ignored it. I’ve played F3,NV and F4 but I didn’t bother with 76 but it seems damn good.

[@blakeseymour5]

Love the new blood in the game taking it all in for this first time! Definitely could have used something like this starting out because I was utterly clueless 😅

[@fluffnera]

I appreciate these tip guides because all players have a different way of approaching things so they are all helpful

[@kendrickbenbow7728]

My first time playing a random person I met built my base for me. And not a small base. The community is very helpful.

thank you for the tips mate, im just recently getting into the game and this helped wonderfully!

Brilliant video, played all the fallouts bar this, jumped in 3 days ago and absolutely loving it!

[@JezebelsRevenge]

Great guide for new (or newly returning) folk - super handy and helpful! Thanks much 💜💜💜

[@jakecole8343]

I've played 76 a couple of times. Who knew a northern lad telling me to "Stash Yer Joonk" would be what helped me get into the game. Seriously though this video is actually super helpful. I love how you explain things and it doesn't sound complicated and confusing.

[@Cerofane-27]

As an old player it's good to see new videos being made on 76

[@lanthar]

Thanks for the guide, will be really helpful for all the new folks!

[@bryanmontas7225]

Just downloaded ! And still learning the game after loving the tv series 🎉

[@wiingspan]

Claiming the outposts as a new player is good, its gives you exp and a random plan aswell as a free fast travel to the area, I've got in the habit of doing when I login every day.

[@wallybunghole4500]

This is so helpful,ive been playing for only a couple of days and its not confusing at all, very well explained

[@adamjackson82]

I've come back to 76 this week after a few years off. So glad I did. 🙂 Every interaction I've had with other players, especially players with 3 digit levels, has been fantastic 🙂

Some days you wanna just play as a raider and kill everything and steal peoples stuff and just do wrong. Then some days you give stuff to players and help them level up and become buddies. It’s the wasteland. Only game I’ve found fun even when I was grieved or killed by a trap at someone’s vending machine.

[@seendon5394]

Here's a tip for new players: Sell Fusion Cells for 1 cap each _(people rarely spend more than 1 cap per round on anything in this game)_ if you don't want them. Players like myself will buy them by the thousands because we use the Tesla Rifle for farming XP. If you reach a point where you need Stable Flux or Mutation Serums, don't spend more than 300 caps on them at player vendors and especially NPC vendors. Also, after doing Radiation Rumble [Event], sell any Glowing Blood you loot to NPCs; it's good money. Same thing with Gulper Innards looted from Moonshine Jamboree; it's one of the best ways to make money easily in the game.

[@Th3Fly1ngCow]

Great guide

[@mr911cool]

Pre order player here, stopped playing a few months after launch cuz of all the issues and now that all my friends are playing and the show is out I jumped back in, always has been one of the top tier community’s, players helping players out left and right. I have my camp set up near thunder mountain on an acid deposit near 2 lead camps you can spend some caps and claim while your online and use for lead collection, pump bullets and meds out like mad and sell them all 1-2 bucks a piece on my shop, makes me hella money and keeps my camp active with fresh faces.

[@edmundliankalang5925]

Once you reach lvl 20, go up the road from the wayward until you see two brotherhood soldiers. You can kill them for combat armor. Server hop (exit to main menu and join a new game) and repeat until you get a full set.
