[@matthewwilkinson-vf8kt]

absolutely no chance they will release conductor like that lol

[@rothanx427]

Maybe ... or it "doesn't work like intended" 🤷‍♂️😂

[@keyboardking8008]

They are trying to bait people out if bloodied builds - oh you like bloodied ? ... how about full health conductor though

[@samplexample]

I’m thinking Ghouls will be a full health support/VATS class. Vanguards will become meta perhaps. They’re making the game much harder - enemy weapons scale to 100 and many build will have low END. The healer builds may become a parallel meta. bloodied/low health will become a true glass canon that NEEDS support to do anything in raids or mutated events.

[@Ennio1913]

I think it must have some stats requirements. Luck

[@volationful]

It got me worried, how much they gonna nerf if thing like this even show up.

[@jacobjenkins805]

Yeah conductors is getting changed, there’s no way in hell that’s what they intended

[@wehweh3]

Let's hope not. It sounds like it'll make the game fun again.

[@YoureWrongImRightGetOverIt]

arent they changing how crits, luck and agility work in the next update? if u can no longer crit every other shot with 34 luck then it would make more sense. but as it is with just about everyone playing the meta bloody commando builds with 34 luck its a bit broken.

[@prince_julius]

@@wehweh3 God mode is fun for a day. After that it becomes boring.

[@wehweh3]

@@prince_julius Breaking news! The game has been boring for quite awhile. I think the best update so far was years ago. This one will be lack luster if these effects aren't worth grinding for.

[@ET-lg4mt]

So many of these make huge ap cost weapons finally usable in vats. Ap cost will nearly mean nothing now.

[@Isiknova]

On top of that, a bunch of weapons had their AP costs more than halved on the PTS

[@Lordofthemothsandslayerofnonbe]

My fixer only uses 3 per shot

[@peterclarke7006]

Also, unless the plan is to nerf the frequency of criticals, conductor does indeed sound completely broken. With a VATS critical build and a railway rifle, you're basically never going to run out of AP AND be essentially unkillable 😂

[@prince_julius]

@@Isiknova Heavy weapons in VATS... That's something.

[@Isiknova]

@@prince_julius I'm very excited, as a heavy build myself. My gatling gun will finally be useful for VATS

[@noneeris]

Conductor is straight up game breaker

[@EleshNorn-ui1eg]

Damn conductors is like adding vampires and also makes you have infinite ap. Thats just ridiculous.

[@creeperkiller9k975]

The poison armor effect will work great with that 50% more damage while target is poisoned weapon effect

[@tjlockie2214]

Pair with strangler heart and poison auto axe will be crazy

[@xHARDCORE5150x]

Pyromaniacs sounds right up my alley for the auto axe, still using electrified but will switch to burning if it makes DPS better

[@VulMori]

I'm so eye balling a rangers stack with polished on plasma caster. I did jump on PTS to check something and I'm glad you can throw a 4* mod box on 3* armor/weapons without needing to reroll the whole thing.

[@justincary4803]

They should add as a fourth star a legendary effect called meltdown which would take inspiration from fallout New Vegas's perk meltdown giving plasma weapons a 20% chance to make a target explode and chain reaction other enemies.

[@sergioalexanderdeinschlimm9752]

Well, we have to wait until December and pray so that I can unlock the conductor.

[@EVERYTYME]

Im pretty sure all of these 4 stars are directed towards vault raids

[@OriginCorey]

They’re definitely more focused on synergistic team builds. Hopefully they’re necessary in a challenging new raid

[@Chr1s_31]

Even if Conductor restores 1% AP and Health with every crit hit, it would be still very good. So no way it will release like that.

[@Kid47483]

Pain train with choo-choo effect. 😁

[@22ghl]

imagine conductor's with the plasma flamer ... conductor's will have a nerf for sure

[@jonathananthony6051]

Viper is going to be interesting paired with strangler heart armor. Any weapons used will deal poison damage and benefit from that 50% dmg boost. Super excited to see this in action!

[@poppypendle]

Thanks for the sneak peek! Definitely some interesting ones and looking forward to see what comes to the live version.

[@MoteDaddy]

Who thought conductor was balanced?

[@wiggle_plays]

🤷‍♂️

[@Gremalkin1979]

@@wiggle_plays I suspect a missed or not listed cooldown. Otherwise it is busted.

[@uhx]

Only worries me that the crit chance:luck ratio will be nerfed

[@terrylaze6247]

Think about how people play, if you have a character that isn't tuned for crits you get a critical every 4-5 hits which is plenty of time for a big enemy to kill you, if you have a character that is tuned for crits you make a crit every other hit and have a fixer or similar with 2-3 AP cost so you never run out of AP anyway and only get killed if you get unlucky and an enemy spawns right behind you and shoots you, with a missile launcher or poison, before you even realize. I play a bloody commando tuned for criticals and this legendary just looks like meh, this is for somebody that plays a different style and puts this on a pepper shaker to deal with big mobs that would otherwise kill him.

[@dynastyjumpzz]

@@terrylaze6247 Bro you can shoot heavies without coffee while using this mod. Not every gun can get as low as The FIxer

[@jamespratt2986]

You keep relating these to to ops events, but I think they are oriented towards the incoming raids, where soloing won’t (Initially) be possible.

[@jessieyoung3759]

I solo earle in 1:52 that's including dropping down the mine shaft he dies with 23:08 left on the timer , no ammo glitching , no sneak glitching ect. If you can't solo the bosses you are a food build .😂😂😂

[@diegocarlos3687]

​@@jessieyoung3759sweat lord alert

[@wehweh3]

Ya it's not very hard for anyone to clear bosses anymore if they run a sweaty build. Hell, even I can casually kill Earle solo in 3 min with my commando build.

[@NvTeddy]

Expect everything to be nerfed into the ground.

[@alpha450r5]

Fracturers would be good with the explosive pepper shaker now that it's back in the game.

[@spamanator666]

Cool to see they finally fixed the Whitespring signs again after whatever they changed that made them really dark and hard to read. Not that it really matters. 😆

[@LumiNexus]

Bruiser's with Bully's for zweihaender and Pounder's for auto axe will be nice. Some of those vats ones are insane though, no way those go unchanged

[@stephenflanagan1177]

I expect all this to get nerfed… but holy hell does Choo choo sound amazing. I can see tons of gunners shooting the queen and one runner just mowing all the scorched ground troops

[@pwojo9776]

Conductor and Fracturer seem like they'd be really good for solo-players. Even ones that don't run the meta builds of bloodied, heavy, energy weapons that tank my framerate. I'm working my way on a two-shot-explosive-swift lever-action sniper-rifle and a quad-vats double-barrel shotgun on my luck-perception-agility vats sniper main. Imagining either of those perks on either of my main 2 weapons, coupled with some of those new armor perks, it'll seem disgusting. Armor perks, I'm thinking of going full Ranger. I don't wear power armor and I'm not a melee guy, so unfortunately most of these perks aren't for me. I'm pretty much capped-out on all damage and armor perks otherwise. It's unfortunate there aren't that many legendary 4-star effects that apply to just armor; unless that changes, Stalwart caught my eye until I read "power armor".

[@SlippyLB]

8:42 I can see that mod being good for nuke zones or if the Raids are irradiated. Being able to turn the little bit of rads you’re receiving for AP regen would be a nice trade

[@MOIST_FLAPS]

Bully 4* is awesome. Now that they rebuffed the gauss shotty and being a non vats player thats going to hit hard

[@melficeskye292]

So Slayer's gives you 50% more damage against legendary monsters I am definitely putting it on my V63 Laser carbine it already has quad and explosive on it that would make it even more useful against legendary bosses.

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

Makes the weapon a boss killer. The 50% more weakpoint damage would be nice too. Just for regular mobbing

[@FlowerPower1-7-5]

Been waiting for a perk like pyromaniac for ages!, I love tagging enemies with molotovs so this will be a must for me!

[@Chef_HesH]

Any word yet on if the 4 star will cost 120 to add a box mod on? I’m guessing somewhere around 20 modules now to craft the first RNG for 4 star too.

[@wiggle_plays]

Nothing official

[@Guatdefook]

Try conductors on a high fire rate heavy gun. I'm curious if it can make heavies vats viable.

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

It should be. Even with the higer VATS cost it should e possible to keep you in VATS

[@Kid47483]

Conductor's needs to have a chance (%) limitor or reduced amount of restoration.

[@Johnny-ww7ic]

I am a hoarder, and I expected at least one mod for carry weight. So I am going to propose 2 concepts: Hoarder: Add 20 carry weight per piece of armor (100 for full stack) (ARMOR, POWER ARMOR) Survivalist: Weapons, Food, Aid, Junk and Ammo weights are reduced by 10% (50% for full stack) (ARMOR, POWER ARMOR)

[@stanisawpiotr4798]

Actually... both of these sound awesome. Def should be added with the little "but" of max weight reduction of 90% with other stacks from 3* armor effects!

[@davookr1830]

Pyromaniac plus burning with laser/plasma - severe beta wave tuner might be a way to go or miasma armor plus melee viper might be good

[@probablybears]

Polished might make "Luck Of The Draw" a more desirable perk.

[@grumpydragonproductions264]

Scanner's could be very interested when paired with -25% AP cost. Stack all the AP regen foods and buffs and you might never run out of AP.

[@Average1212]

Looking forward to all the upcoming commenters complaining they "nerfed" effects that are on the PTR. They are on the PTR they don't exist yet until it hits live it can't be nerfed, it isn't even finalized yet.

[@drnightmaremendoza4892]

4:36 that sound like "one for all" perk from preston garvey in fallout 4.

[@DuckDecoy13]

2:37 choo choo kind of sounds like an alternative to pain train Park card

[@bunslinger]

pyromaniac's sounds kinda cool, if you keep some molotovs on you you can toss one into a group to do some extra damage for a bit. i like all the buffs geared towards non-vats because like you said i like to manually aim

[@Mr3ppozz]

Thanks for the update... Some look actually interesting... a lot different from what i expected they were going to be

[@mrblackjacker32.03]

Choo-choo's sounds interesting for legendary farm runs

[@willblake72]

Some of these sound awesome. I also hope there will be a way to either reject some of these incoming effects or at least know when a teammate is using them. The berserker will not love all of these. LOL conductors looks like you used a cheat code

[@wiggle_plays]

I thought the same thing about berserker.

[@creeperkiller9k975]

There is a picture I saw of a new unique railway rifle with +25% critical hit chance but it seems to not be a 4 star effect so I’m not sure but it could be possible that they are adding critical hits outside of vats like older fallout games

[@Mestari1Gaming]

Ranger's and Stabilizer's look great!

[@stephenflanagan1177]

If these 4 star perks stay like this…. I can see a PVP mode coming

[@SkyForgeVideos]

Wish that all of these actually had visible effects in game. There should be a visible modification to the gun itself, and a visible effect that it produces. So that you can tell exactly what mods someone is running just by seeing their weapon. Or by getting shot at by it.

[@pcgamingnerd9529]

This on a Gauss with legendary 2 explosive gives 3 hidden effects 20% and 2 x 15% bullets will explode and 4th star 150% currently not got 4th mod yet but already my gauss sits at 1030 base damage

[@nukacolanut6095]

A lot of these will be applicable for raids...foreshadow of things to come.

[@wehweh3]

If only Conductor's had an armor effect that had a high chance of weapon reload while firing. That'd be like the old school days of unlimited mag commando builds 😮

[@djay6651]

full Tankys on Sentinel, Bolstering or Vanguard is gonna be insane.

[@jpatty5964]

Conductor should be the same effect but only in relevance to how low your armor is so it would have synergy with bezerkers

[@theslayer4050]

wouldn't be surprised if they make conductors either unavailable or rework it to just 5%ap or 5%hp (would surprise me if it added both at x%)

[@nomad4594]

Vipers on my bloodied explosive poison bow is going to be insane. It already does poison in aoe.

[@alvinkual84]

Conductor 's...😋 AP Regen on that mod is useful tho, otherwise the instant health heal is broken. Thanks for sharing this vedio

[@CemD85]

It looks like bethesda will bring back some of the Fallout 4 traits to Fallout 76. Choo Choo star effect is the one that got my attention most

[@wehweh3]

Conductors + Scanners sounds like they'll make power armor builds great again. Hell, minigun might be viable with this setup 😂

[@Kid47483]

Looks like a PA heavy weapon VATS build still be viable with the new changes to AP cost for weapons and 4* legendary.

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

It will be more viable

[@radiobaked]

I wonder if Pounder's is spoiled by Legendary Perk explosions that hit other enemies, just like Furious is with explosive weapons?

[@agahahahj8447]

If this is the route for 4 stars, I wonder how 5 stars will be in the future

[@oktarianist6174]

Conductor literally makes the machine gun, with 50 ap cost, be usable for once

[@MyklCarlton]

Why does it feel like the 4 star effects are going to turn the usability/power slope (from 1 star to three star) into a curve? At the moment, the first star effects are the primary drivers of desirability, with the two and three star options being less important. Even though the new build cost suggests otherwise.

[@LongJohn617]

IMO the fourth star actually truly allows for a god roll in the sense of combinations can be broken aka a god weapon or armor

[@mikelangelo1232]

If these weapons/armour would be rare, the grind would be insane

[@OriginCorey]

Seems tk me like theyre trying to create an additional “legendary perk” slot via mods. A lot of these sound like they will replace an entire 3 star perk card

[@theatomicpunk24]

I may be trippin but I would think the reflection one would be for low health builds. Not for full health Power Armor tank builds. 🤷🏻

[@cycleboy8028]

Full restore of health and AP on Crit? Yeah, nuts. I could see restore 5 per crit, but about all there.

[@SpiritHashira]

Assuming that Conductor gets nerfed, scanner is gonna be my current choice.

[@valentine4287]

These are why they need to fix the module cost. If it follows the current trend a 4 star mod would cost 120 modules to craft, nobody is going to even attempt to make them at that cost, even the 60 module cost of a 3 star is too much hastle considering the new price of buying the modules

[@YoureWrongImRightGetOverIt]

you skipped "Fracturers" in the video. u went from Fencers to Icemens (Edit) nvm while u did skip it going down the list, u do show an assault rifle with that legendary effect on it at 13:39

[@champn252]

Sounds like full health builds are being given a chance to be viable

[@danielmontoya1069]

Hows miasma on a set of strangler heart power armor with a tesla coil paired with plague walker?

[@tojirokitsune1640]

imagine explosive limbs effect on an auto grenade launcher that would just be more explosions haha

[@jibwizard6108]

They look surprisingly interesting. I bet one of you youtubers will come up with a build that uses the most stupid one, to deal massive damage eheh

[@creed55]

Ive spent a little time on the pts but for the life of me havent seen where folks are getting these 4 stars to test out....the equips or the ability to craft the mods. Where are you getting this stuff at.

[@wiggle_plays]

If you have fallout 1st, you can set up a custom world with free crafting. This will unlock all the legendary mods.

[@Al99NextGeneration]

Conductor's will never see the light of day 😂

[@grevity2816]

They really got fo3 grim reapers sprint on steroids with conductor 💀

[@b0de_xd]

Conductors should be "VATS cost life instead, critical hits fully restore life".

[@blimpinators]

aegis with overeaters and empath i think it is would be strong on a full team

[@youraveragegamer1964]

Please keep conductor the same, you have to do the raids for the 4 stars anyway, might as well make them worth it

[@Kid47483]

Miasma for passive damage build! 🤓

[@BradPlayz76]

Conductors and Limit Breaking lol feels broken 😂😂😂

[@dominicmorones8314]

imagine using conductor with a quad laser carbine

Can you also test the thing about empath reducing too much Damage.

I already thought this would happen, cuz they want you to lock your weapons on you character by adding these mods

I really don't like how much of this stuff is power armour exclusive not everyone uses power armour I certainly dont

[@jaimichaeldee1373]

Most of them sound like they're for raids because you're going to need to be on a team to complete a raid

[@jcevans16]

I think adding any of these is a mistake, especially with everything else that's been getting changed and added. Maybe they should only add like 2 or three and see how that goes. Adding all these just sound like a crap ton of more grind for little benefit. I cant be the only one who thinks this. Reducing AP costs while in PA seems like the only one worth grinding for.

[@MrScuto]

you skipped fracturer, what does that do?
