Oooff overeater with sentinel and ap refresh mixed with doctor's effects and maybe plus one agility would be pretty tanky

The question is would the 6% damage reduction stack?

Addicted to this Channel now that I’ve been back on FO76 for the last 2 weeks! Keep it up and don’t stop putting out videos to help us

[@gunnargrubbs3123]

I love that all of your new vids have organized time stamps. Super helpful 🙏

[@grimreaperss]

i was exclusively hyped for unyielding pa

[@dannygates806]

Thank you for this video… I have basically rolled a full set of overeaters that I haven’t used… I was trying for bolstering and I didn’t get a single piece, so I gave up when it swallowed all my modules in minutes… Thankfully not all was lost and I am looking forward to testing it out now.

[@brotherhoodDLC]

Ive been watching your videos forever, i just recently got back in fallout 76, i love you're videos, very high quality!

I want to have a power armor build! Thank you so much for your guides!

Thanks been waiting for this , love your videos. Looking forward to Steel Reign

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Thank you Patrick! I appreciate your support mate

[@hamiltonewing319]

Excellent presentation and very much appreciated. Really clear with the tables. Are they available anywhere to print out and use for planning a build etc ?

[@brickslayer29]

I know this is old but just caught it. Good stuff. Just finished my complete X01 OE/ap/wr (every piece is a has a different wr on it). Completely changed my game

[@markomalizani7751]

Well explained sir, i enjoyed this very much, looking forward to the next one. All the best and God Bless

[@martinmiller1593]

Well done and thank you . Good info .

[@matthewbrasel2737]

I hope you're doing well and I hope that you'll end up being able to do interviews, like you did with fallout 4, whenever fallout 5 comes out

[@Raumplestomp]

Great Guide thanks for making it

[@DaveKaiju]

Very informative! I don't use power armour, like I did in FO 4. I do however have about 6 power armour's just need to harvest more "Nuked Flora", to get my main wants, ie Calibrated shocks, and a jet pack. I do have plans for T45, and T60. just need T51 jet pack. So the last thing on my mind is the "Legendary" mod for my armour.. I use them for my weapons.. hahahaha

[@tank2485]

Thank you for doing this video 👍

And now it is here :D

[@G1ggl3z]

Somehow they knew I'd be doing junk runs in a Unyeilding Excavator Power Armor so they gotta remove the effect for everyone else they've got their reasons but I wanted to junk run..

[@Xparkman30]

Still feel like it's kinda bullshit that unyielding can't be on power armor.

[@Raspberry-wp8wx]

@@Xparkman30 if it was on power armor no one would use regular armor ever

[@Xparkman30]

@@Raspberry-wp8wx you mean like how almost no one used power armor ever because regular armor made power armor useless outside of a nuke zone for rad protection? Regular armor have players excessively better special stats, significantly better carry capacity that only got worse once they added backpacks, no "cost of use" on regular armor (fusion cores, being a pain in the ass to farm to keep your pa on), and then adding a jetpack for no pa users removing one of the only benefits of pa.

[@keithshoup]

Reduced food weight with Overeaters and Glutton seems like they'd synergize well. I wonder - Sentinel's - if you have 6x PA pieces with it, do you get a 75% chance to reduce damage by 90%?

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Not quite how it works. Each piece operate individually of each other and have a chance to reduce damage by 15%

[@Grimasaurus]

A bit late to the party here, just getting back into 76 as my son loves it and needs a team mate for some activities. Do all of these stack or is the goal to simply get your preferred one on each piece of armour (e.g. a power armour user might have , Sentinel's R-Leg + Reduced weapon L-Leg + Reduced Ammo R-Arm)?

[@reececowell6642]

Great as always

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Thank you Reece!

[@lifecapricious]

Vanguard seems to work very well with a Vampire Weapon. Like the Vampire Gauss Shotgun or Minigun.

[@LtBlankman]

Time to farm a nocturnal PA set & hope that the Blackbird PA skin comes back.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I've had 1st since it was first offered so i have a TON of power armor skins and never really had a reason to use them lol. However, this makes it a bit more painful that i was NINE slots away from clearing last seasons board but wasn't paying attention to when it ended... at least i got the red version of it lol. Is it just me or did last season require more exp to clear the board? Or was it just a shorter season or something? Anyways, three cheers for having a reason for showing off all those skins!

[@O1dguy1789]

Shorter season by 1 week.

[@Evil_Misfit_]

So how does this work. If you have a 3 star piece does it draw off this list from each list for each star

[@jeffbarnesyout]

I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere, but as far as I know the verb attribute is pronounced the way you say it, but the noun has the accent on the first syllable. Picky, I know... but in case you're interested. :) Thanks for the summary of these legendary effects on power armor. I still can't think of much everyday use for power armor, since a full set of unyielding regular armor gives so many benefits to SPECIAL. What's your take on that?

[@MechaMan2012]

Legendary cores are theoretically grindable, modules have a cap per day due to limited scrip. Do you think it's possible we'll reach a point where we'll have more cores than we're able to use?

[@tabascowkasku5709]

Yes

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Yes that is true

[@O1dguy1789]

I've commented a few times that cores will be the next currency, and you will probably see alot of player purveyors.

[@MechaMan2012]

@@O1dguy1789 i don't think cores are tradable, but i need to verify.

[@papa_kez]

what's better for a tank build? overeater or vanguard?

[@YeastMaister]

Definitely gonna try and stack 5 reduced weight since I only use heavy weapons

[@ethanrayburn9930]

Personally I’d take the Vanguards and 20% less ammo, I have a FFR VAMP gauss mini gun so I’m always being healed, plus the gauss mini gun rounds are heavy even with batteries included

[@unghouly]

In the power amor boxes that you can buy with script are we able to get x01 armor from them?

[@sert_winner3678]

Is there still the legendary skill that gives you those syringes that restore health and food and drink bars?

[@liquidsworrds3818]

Overeaters set will be the best due to damage% reduction, very exciting stuff

[@LoneVaultWanderer]

Absolutely! You going T-65 or Hellcat?

[@liquidsworrds3818]

@@LoneVaultWanderer I’m thinking hellcat! I don’t think that bonus DR of the T-65 makes up for the set bonus of the hellcat, but we’ll have to put it to the test.

Chameleon does stack so i wouldn't recommend having only one piece of it if you want to make use of it

[@MA-nx4ob]

Breaks 50% slower is that for that piece only, or all armor?

[@JC-QWERT]

I think it might just be the update and change of pace on these rolls that’s throwing me off but it seems like half of all legendaries I get is a power armor piece.

[@codyschurz1520]

I sneak in my power armor 🙃 Only because I’ve been a hoarder forever and I’m usually limited to only playing in Exc PA to be able to travel. I’m working on that..

How did you get a legendary effect on any pieces? I don't have the option at a PA station

[@westyw.4235]

Still can't believe that some of these weren't sunset because literally nobody uses them. Why even perform testing in a pts if you ignore what 95% of the player base says? Thanks for the new content but for the massive # of Fallout 1st members who more than fairly compensate F76 production efforts, this update is still significantly lacking in most areas. This game continues to be an overall fail until Bethesda devs stop trolling their player base with incongruent, never used perks in a money grab disguised as a rng loot system.

[@Xparkman30]

I mean if every piece of legendary armor or weapon had perfect rolls would anyone trade for anything ever?

[@RobertoApodaca]

Pissed they took unyielding away

Obligatory algorithm comment

[@T51B1]

Oooff....None of the first star perks are good, least crappy being overeaters. Second perks are also garbage with exception of Powered or the poison resistance. Third perks you will want are either Ammo weight or Sent. The third star perks are better than the first star perk :/
