Fallout 76 Fusion Core Guide 2023

[@joeykeith]

Do you know of other ways to get Fusion Cores?

[@erickmichel4229]

Power armor frames on watoga and pay to win with the core charge generator 😅😂

[@VaultWeasel]

@@erickmichel4229 Not sure how its Pay To Win, its just a core. Pay to win is mainly like, Only This Weapon can defeat the scorchqueen, its a prime weapon. Oh Look its actually in game, so no its not pay to win. Its grind. Everything isa grind. Getting things handed to you like a Regenerator is just a incentive. So, please use the term Pay To Win for the Candy Crush Players :P

[@FyrusOlin]

@@VaultWeasel and even people who pay money usually earned it.

[@VaultWeasel]

@@FyrusOlin Well its not Pay To Win. Pay To Win is like owning a certain Weapon or Add On that is REQUIRED to finish the game. If the items in the Atom Shop stop you from Progressing (Example a quest that says you have to buy atoms to continue and Buy a Nuke Card and the Enclave Quest remains Incomplete) Then its a Pay To Win.

[@CajunRecon]

Back in the day when I subbed to the game I would pop into my private server take over a power plant and simply collect them from the resource machine. You don't need a private server to do it but on a PS you don't have to fight others for it either.

[@agustincarlosyancleu7820]

I been running around with level 2 of electric absorption for months with a single fusion core. It is constantly refilled

[@joeykeith]

Yea it seemed to work pretty well!! Thanks for the comment and the feedback btw

[@WackiSavageri]

What kind of build are you using tho?

[@joeykeith]

@@WackiSavageri I personally use 2 builds depending on what I’m doing. A sneaky commando for getting components like lead and a power armor heavy gunner build for events and bosses.

[@WackiSavageri]

The fusion core recharger that comes with the Pitt bundle is the best solution for running fusion cores. A bit pricey but well worth it if your running power armor all the time.

[@fnusecurity5112]

Just do one of the Power Armor spawn routes or Generator routs and you have a new batch to charge. Had to stop, had over 70 of them. Guess I got stuck in that. I want more, give me more fusion cores. lol.

[@malcadorthesigillite2541]

@@fnusecurity5112 nah the fusion core charger has met and exceeded my fusion core needs. I'm good, thanks for the tip tho.

[@KentuckyRanger]

Since getting the fusion core recharger for my C.A.M.P. I haven't had to grind for cores anymore. While it only charges 4 at a time, it's kept me in cores quite nicely.

[@feloniouseve]

Best way to obtain cores is by crafting gats like you said. Best places to find cores would be Mt Blair trainyard (3 fusion reactors) and surrounding sites (2 additional reactors, kinda far away). Palace of the winding path has 2 very easy ones, hack the door at the service entrance (1 reactor & 1 on nearby shelf). Also the expedition Union Dues you can find 4 or 5 (reactors)

[@joeykeith]

Thanks for the feed back it’s always appreciated

[@hicsonyoutube]

I just go exploring and watch out for Fusion Reactors & stuff, sometimes I find up to 4 / 5 cores per run 8 /10 if you use a Gattling Laser.

[@-Luna-tic.exe-]

I got the core recharge station from the Pitt dlc. Absolutely worth it, iv been using the same two cores just using one wile the other charges, which in turn freed up me having to use electrical absorption to charge it.

[@joeykeith]

im really glad you like it and thanks for the feedback its always appreciated

[@ElGoblinoPeppino]

Another great way of recharging your cores instead of just walking around Watoga could be heading into a nuclear silo. Getting a nuke out while constantly being bombarded by the energy turrets should get the legendary card effect more often. Just fall back if you wanna switch out a core.

[@joeykeith]

love it. thanks for the feedback!

[@joeykeith]

@John-Supablaze get out of the armor, then look at it and go in its inventory and take out the full one and put in an empty one. i hope im explaining that well enough to follow. My communication skills need work for sure

[@maxximuxx520]

or just go to sugar grove you have 2 laser turrets inside that area and basically no enemies to shot back at you

[@joeykeith]

@@maxximuxx520 good idea

[@MsJessProductions]

On the roof of the Kanawa Nuka Cola building is a fusion core generator and you can take the fusion core from it once every 20 hours, or, as much as you feel like server hopping.

[@joeykeith]

great idea!

[@dearestterror5234]

Or you can do the posidon energy plant event, bring the plant back online and power up the fusion core generator it's very easy to do

[@Jonkin715]

I didn't know that. Thanks!

[@snakedoctor6969]

Omg thats a crazy amount of cores. I live not knowing how much longer i ll have power armor and every core i find whether its 10% or 100% is like finding the holy grail.

[@fnusecurity5112]

I got most of mine by going around the map. I have a a route I take where I know where Power armor and Generators are at. Usually grab about 8 during a hop. Then put them in the Charge to make them a full charge. I stopped doing it cause I have over 60-70 of them. Only issue is you usually get them at 25% charged. You can only charge 4 at a time. But I wish they would give you a option to charge or for the Fusion core get to like 10% or less to switched to new one or automatic does it. Maybe that change is on the way some day.

[@joeykeith]

Great idea thanks for the feedback

[@dluten100]

It's crazy, but I'm a PA heavy gunner and I run a few gatling lasers but never run out of cores. I usually have to sell a few every month so I can them under 80 on me. I can usually get 3-8 cores a day without even trying. Just running events, and killing mobs.

[@Wolf-Nyan]

Yeah I use PA and a consecutive +25% RoF charging Gatling laser and usually sit around ~20 cores from just doing an event every so often and the daily op. And that’s with me near-exclusively using 75% charge cores (with max rank power user of course) since those are what drop from mobs/events the majority of the time. Actually stopped running the legendary card for a while because I had too many since I would use the PA to get rid of any low charge cores the Gatling laser spat out on accident.

[@kyrieclutchirving3348]

I have about a hundreds fusion cores but I use that legendary perk card for easy recharge

[@joeykeith]

That’s a lot of cores!

[@KudzuDigital]

Before I got my fusion charger, I would run over to the original vault. Swap out my armor to the lowest charged core. Run down to the right and let the robots charge me up. Run up the hill, then swap out the cores again. Go back down and do the same.

[@joeykeith]

that sounds like something I would do!!

[@vectraB97]

I hate power armour. It always glitches when I enter with bow equiped. And I can't use a bow in it. With so much invested in the bow it sucks. Using vats in the power armor also drains it's power quickly. I only use it to jump of cliffs, dive under water or enter areas with high radiation. I regret using special skill points on level 2 elecrtrical absorbsion.

[@joeykeith]

The best build is the one you have the most fun playing with.

[@gutzboy1]

I do a fusion core farming run every once in a while. I know of about eight places where fusion cores spawn and are just laying around (one core per site).

[@1975KyleDavid]

I found it easiest to produce the fusion cores yourself at one of the nuclear generators. Rather than going through the process of reactivating the factories, just hook up your own generator and wait patiently. In a few hours, I had produced forty fusion cores. I stayed until I had reached my limit in storage.

[@joeykeith]

Yes. I usually hook up all three. You get more faster that way

[@paulharris7660]

You can buy a fusion core charger. It's on steam. Charges one at a time, over time. 4 at a time.

[@MrGeorge514131]

I run PA with a melee build so rely on fusion cores, the game has perks which can heal you and charge up the fusion cores, when I find partially charged cores I always collect them then find a source to charge them, whether super mutants energy weapons or even the scorchbeast Queen, I also would sell them when I had more than I could use, they sold immediately with fair price, I never sell anything for expensive prices since I just find stuff anyway, I leave my hustling for the real world…

[@joeykeith]

Thanks for the knowledge

you don't need the weapon perk the energy regen is more that enough to keep you alive tho

[@joeykeith]

Thanks for the info. Feedback is always appreciated

[@Zoop99]

At the power plants you don't need to make a generator the power plant makes 100 power if it is active every now and then it breaks and there is a quest to repair the power plant its self.

[@joeykeith]

That’s a good point

[@TheLiamKenyon]

Its also tedious

[@TheLiamKenyon]

Hate powering up power plants

[@WVTarheel]

That trick with ricochet and vamps is cool

[@joeykeith]

I thought so too. It works pretty well

[@timothgc0peland879]

Thank you for your guide it was direct and void of the player running around killing things also not an excuse to be noticed.the atom shop has a recharger machine,you can still get it by going to their Web page you can buy any atom shop items there.

[@joeykeith]

Thank you. Feedback is always appreciated. I thought the only way to buy the core recharger was through the expeditions bundle which cost $30 but i may be wrong

[@IceKnight81]

Scorched Officers always have to photobomb. Guess I have always had luck with finding fusion cores. Ample to spare so that they take up too much in inventory. I hit the grafton dam every now and again and usually there's one there. Oh and check if someone has powered the reactors, usually someone left the server and its all ready for production.

[@joeykeith]

I've never had a problem with fusion cores either but someone asked me about it so I made a video for them. I'm new at KZbin so right now im making videos about stuff that the viewers are asking about. thank you so much for the comments, and the feedback is always appreciated 🙂

running an auto-axe build i have not had any issues with fusion cores, but now that i switched to a plasma caster build heavily relying on VATS my fusion cores are DRAINING at a substantial rate. I am running through 7-10 cores a session now compared to being at a surplus. Soooo why does VATS have an effect on fusion cores? we can use VATS without power armor. Just leaves me scratching my head.

[@joeykeith]

I dont understand that either. using vats while in power armor drains cores pretty fast and some say its worse with certain weapons. do you use the perk "power user"?

@@joeykeith yes, i have maxed power user on all builds. i went into a moonshine jamboree with 3.5 cores today and left with zero, and i didn't even move LOL. I was so confused at first. I mean it is what it is at this point, farming isn't issue I'm just baffled it's even a thing.

Fusion cores are the easiest thing in the world. You need a fusion core reactor which you can get from the Adam shop and you need to learn to stop playing with people for a few minutes in server hop and go down to the ash heap and hit every fusion reactor up multiple times until you got like 80 of those things like I got my sash oh my bad I got like 50 some now because I haven’t been server hopping in a few months.
