Gave this game a second chance a few months ago, 250 hours later.......they really did not give up on this game, and I had a blast playing it.

[@LoganBrown-g5h]

Seems like years after they put the work they needed to in the game

[@SwaggMessiah69]

I'm in the same boat, but for me it went from terrible to ok. It's a good time killer side game. It's become unique in its own right. The only reasons I still play is because it's a fallout universe, and the long time players are insanely powerful so I have a drive to want to reach that level. The main story/stories/expansions? is pretty interesting but just badly executed.

[@Raspotnik]

Same here!

[@DarthQuietus]

I have watched so many 20+ min videos for new Fallout 76 players and finally, I found one that actually tells you how to be a new player!

​@@calebcaleb4983 My wife and I are long term hard-core Fallout fans since 1 and 2. We avoided 76 because of the negative reception, we picked it up after the TV show and I gotta say I like it a helluva lot more than Fallout 4. It ain't perfect but it's hearts in the right place.

[@captain4318]

Leveling isn't hard, those early 20 levels will fly past. I'd suggest starting at the bottom, it's no race; leveling from the ground up is part of the fun, don't rob yourself of that experience. Only suggest it for returning players that want to start over with already went through the low level stage before and don't want to do it again.

[@TheRealTopGunZ]

I had barely exited the vault with a character I created like last year. I finally got into it a couple days ago and was thinking creating a new character and didn't, I would have spared 2 days of leveling (I am already level 19, it is a very easy game, especially for FO veterans). I am on my way to Whitespring now and I hadn't thought about using other layer's camps for fast travel! Overall quite helpful guide, especially for some of the online and endgame-ish stuff, thanks!

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you very much and glad to hear the tips were helpful! Hope to bump into you in the Wasteland

[@shinji2224]

Easy game? You should see the kinds of things this game has thrown at me . A hoard of ghouls no joke like I just stumbled around the wrong block in the walking dead a deathclaw in doors and a XB55 3 stars the moment you peak him your dead both the npcs that were helping me were useless against it as well idk how you have such a different experience but this game is more difficult than the others for sure

[@TheRealTopGunZ]

@@shinji2224 maybe it's the scaling, now that I am past level 30 I start to see some challenge, but at its current state it has been too forgiving for the first couple dozen hours.

[@jacksonbilly9979]

I tried playing the game when it first came out. Didn’t get past the 1st hour of the game. I played it again started a game last night and had the best start. I came out the vault level 20, as soon as I come out there’s 2 guys in power armor level 228 and 316 or something. I’m drunk at this moment , I walk up level 20 and start talking crap challenging them to a fight saying they don’t wanna lose to a level 20 and calling them princess and crap and the was laughing with me and gave me a BUNCH of free crap. Ammo, 60 stimpacks, couple guns and armor and man I was so much helpful. We talked for like 5 minutes. If those guys happen to see this comment THANK YOU. I’m completing quest 20 levels past mine thanks to them

[@bernardrosper1484]

Started to play after the amazon series and I’ve been having a blast. I dont play videos that often anymore (life happens) but I remember casually playing fallout 3 back in the day and playing 76 now ,it brings a lot of good memories.

[@processedsoy]

Thank you for this video. I am coming back to the game after 4 years and I had no idea I didn't have to interact with my teammates lol. And like someone else said, 76 content is goated.

[@JeffLenney]

I"ve not played Since Fallout 4 New Vegas like 10+ years ago, heard bad things about 76 which made me sad - I'm glad to hear it's FINALLY worth playing. Downloading it to my Ps5 right now, thanks for the great guide!

[@Travybear1989]

My character is level 26, still only has leather armor and his best weapon is a level 20 legendary revolver I got as a quest reward. He pretty much gets DESTROYED by most enemies and it can take anywhere from 2 shots (scorched) to 50+ to kill the hermit crab things and 100+ shots to kill a deathclaw (from a safe area of course because they kill me in two hits). I have a level 22 character in Fallout 4 with full T-60 power armor, a legendary minigun/rocket launcher, a legendary sniper rifle that does over 90 damage and you never have to reload it, etc. I feel like by the time I hit level 70 in Fallout 76 I might at least have combat armor or something... maybe half a set of power armor. I started at level 1 by the way, not level 20.

[@mcastle44]

Literally just started 76 for the first time 2 days ago, perfect timing.

[@Gearhead_47]

The introvert in me just ignored teams immediately thinking it was like raid teams. Good to know i was wrong. Another thing to point out about the pip boy is the animation takes longer to pop up with the traditional view but switching it to the over lay, it loads and closes faster. So realism vs functionality i guess. Cool feature though

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Great point and tip, thank you!

[@zaccampa4055]

I used to use the overlay but moved back to the traditional Pip Boy view because it was more immersive lol Buuut I have almost died a couple times because of how slow it is.

[@mrnobody043]

I also set my camp up at the witespring resort golf area which is a convenient place for players to stop by my vending machine since it is a frequently visited place. Whitespring is also a nice place to loot objects containing copper and there's a Copper ore vein next to the golf area. I've setup camp there when i was lvl 40 and am still there now at level 93. The golf area is a big open grass field, so there is plenty of room to build whatever/however you want. Also purchased the Fallout 1st subscription so i can store unlimited junk/scrap and ammo, this was starting to get REALLY annoying to manage without the 1st subscription. Obviously it has other benefits as well , like the monthly atoms you get and the fallout 1st exclusive atomshop items. For me, the subscription is really worth it, i'm enjoying the game very much.. More than i thought i would.

[@krazzbayley]

Also you need to talk to Duchess which is in the wayward to get the 2nd Oversear's log which is for the main Quest. I was trying to look for the 2nd log for a challange and could not find it i started the Wastelanders DLC and found out that she gave it to me. and completed the audio log challange.

[@brandonorcutt362]

Fallout 76 has become my favorite Fallout Game and one of my favorite games of all time i have played all of them Fallout 1 which i purchased back when it came out because I enjoyed the game Wasteland and many of the developers who made wasteland formed Black Isle both gsmes were developed in post cold war era featured a unique take on the post apocalyptic genre the World of Fallout takes olace in an alternate timeline where the transistor was not invented in 1948 where America fully embraced the Atomic Age with open arms where the Internet never came into existence there was no information age and the Cold War never ended until 2077 when nukes were launched... I find this to be rather insightful from a game develped st the dawn of the information age like they truly understood how dramatically the Internet and the information age was about to change the world i love rhe old school sci-fi retro futuristic style the Tongue in Cheek dark humor and sarcasm I loved playing every game in this series and Fallout 76 i played from the beginning when the closest thing a human NPC was the super mutsnt Graham and the quests were all listening to holorapes left by dead people this incredibly depressing start ironically created a sense of unity amonst the Fallout 76 community that never went away even after human NPCs were added over the years i have grown to prefer the perk card system and real time vats more rhan the systems used in previous games Fallout 76 is an open world game in the Truest sense of the Word we can play this game however we like we can place our fully customizable camps prerty much anywhere on the map we choose and rhe fun never ends there is and has always been a relatively large and loyal player base that Tears thru new content much much faster than the developers can make it and in past few years we've been waiting impatiently for new content now wirh the TV series on Amazon this community has become much bigger 😎

Good guide, quick and helpful. Veteran here, new players, DO EVENTS BUT DO NOT START EVENTS. Let the veterans start the events cuz we know roughly what the events needs number wise. (Except Easy events, you might be able to Solo those). This is especially true of Eviction Notice. This event is very easy to fail, so wait for players to show up. All the veterans will, so be patient.
