Fallout 76 PTS - Onslaught Is An Amazing Combat Improvement!

[@wiggle_plays]

Note: At the time of recording, there was a bug with Gunslinger Master that gave +3% weak spot damage per stack(+84% at max). This would account for some of the bigger damage numbers.

furious is gonna be a popular legendary effect when onslaught comes out in the next update

Man i have never been so pumped for an update so many cool things coming to the new season is crazy and so many good quality of life changes as well.

[@nukacolanut6095]

Thanks, Wiggle!

[@wiggle_plays]

Thank you so much!

[@damnsurfer522]

It's nice to see the stack indicator. I have been asking for this for years for things like Adrenaline stacks.

[@nukacolanut6095]

Thank you for this!!! It shows you read your viewers' comments, and it's appreciated! Love the channel!

[@Jeeper906]

Good lord they need to reduce the perk point cost of these agility cards. 15 is not going to be enough with adrenaline, action boy, and gun fu plus all these cards in the video.

[@blktom]

I think that is the point though... hard choices. There are different ways to run this... you could rock the LMG build with Furious and full Adrenaline and be fine, your Stacks will just be limited to 9+ whatever you can squeeze on after all of that. It is the same as doing a stacks build with a Quad, Two Shot, or Vampire build on a single shot weapon (like the revolver)... instead of 28 Stacks you would be down to 19 stacks. This might get even more crazy with the new Glow mechanic for Gun Ghouls.

[@ImperatorNocturne]

don´t run adrenaline, it´s mostly just for doing more dmg to trash mobs, and you don´t need the extra damage against those. the important bosses, Guardian and Snake have no addds to give you adrenaline stacks. also the perk is front loaded, rank 1 should usually be enough.

[@snerls]

it's such a cool mechanic, finally something other than the boring aristocrat/aa for full health builds. honestly wished they decoupled the onslaught & pistol changes from the big ghoul update and just dropped it in feb^^

[@CookiemonsterOnLive]

damn my furious weapons are useable. this is great. great explanation

[@NomadicMoth]

Thankyou. Stacks finally explained so i understand 👍

[@banshee767]

I'm new only a couple weeks and furious was the first mod I learned. Been selling them to build up my caps and got some generous offers by vet players trying to help me out

[@DrexelQuake]

Looking forward to these. Also looking forward to what they might do with the other weapon damage perk cards.

[@Amikikilancien]

Holy,6.3k damage on the revolver is insane, really looking forward to these changes. Maybe by the time the update hits slower fire rate weapons will be viable for every content seeing that right now it's basically either automatic rifles or heavy automatic weapons (holy fire and gatling plasmas) that dominate the game :) !

[@Heinzininceberg]

imagine paring a dragon with the perks (ghoul perk and quick hands) that instantly reload your gun and running the onslaught perk that reloads faster

[@imacactus555]

Holy... Onslaught seems busted. That seems im gonna swap my aa to furious with the next update

[@johnrr6]

Thanks for the tip on using the swift core instead of stinging on the Gatling plasma. I stay in VATS much longer now. And I honestly don’t see a difference in damage numbers coming from losing the 20% anti-armor. Because in VATS longer means more crits and more crits mean more damage….. that simple.

[@Kid47483]

Crystal clear explanation of onslaught stack. 👍🏼

[@mookie714]

Actually, this video made the most sense and now I fully understand what onslaught does! I can’t wait for it to be added. Probably will be added with the big ghoul update.

[@fivenotewonder]

Excited for these changes 🎉

[@jozuaa]

Would like to see the 28 stack on Tesla cannon and cremator

[@wiggle_plays]

I'd love to test those. I don't have them in my inventory. Since they are considered atomic shop items, I can't craft them on the pts.

[@rod2dodge855]

Now it kind of makes sense why a few of the newer unique lengendaries like ticket to revenge came with furious and we were like this is sh111te, many scrapped them.. well they were already planning for onslaught.. all other s-tier mods like AA become a-tier overnight.

[@theperson101ful]

VATS Accuracy on that single action revolver would have been peak, the misses were halving your DPS

[@jason2077]

That revolver with onsslaught holy shit

[@Thing696]

Thanks for the video. Has anyone seen how well these stacks stack on a busy server? I am extremely skeptical that the servers they rent will be able to do it with any accuracy at all.

[@wiggle_plays]

No way to know. The PTS servers usually only have a few players at a time.

[@rod2dodge855]

Best explanation… ty!

[@Avastor_]

Oh my god the damage using the Single Action Revolver is insane. I'd really love to see a demo with The Dragon damage output with a similar build.

[@wiggle_plays]

Black powder weapons are a bit frustrating at the moment. The ultra fast reload speeds up the animation, but you still can't shoot until the normal reload time has passed. There are a few other weapons acting that way as well.

[@Avastor_]

@@wiggle_plays Oh that's still a bug? That's a shame. I remember trying to use The Dragon after the last content patch and it would never fire right after I reloaded.

[@illusion-]

I would love to see you explore the bow / crossbow with this effect

[@blktom]

Would be the same as the Revolver version of the video, just with the Archer Perks added on and no Tank Killer. Does mean you are gonna probably have to have a 15 Perception and a 15 Agility to make this work.

[@BrianSkinny-n5f]

Furious largely has been overlooked the entire the time the game has been out. Bloodied I know is still largely the meta and junkies was a thing for a while. Been away from 76 for a good while. Played a bit on pc for giggles. With the updates I missed (chapter 2 of the brotherhood quest line) and on. Yeah. Why not give 76 a chance. I played on Xbox one the most then switched to pc. All these new weapons and what not. It’s catching my curiosity most of all now with the change in perk cards giving furious a serious runs for bloody money lol.

[@themostunknown2293]

no way it makes it out of pts doing that much damage.. when it goes live bet it get cut down more than half that damage, can't be walking around with a single action revolver putting out more damage then the plascast setup crit build one shotting most things.

[@LudovicLorant]

We need a harder new raid :D

[@collincutler4992]

Holy crap that revolver...about time they got some love

[@Mordred_The_Betrayer]

I run Hunting Rifle and Lever Action, looking forward to this, but I suspect there will be a HP pool increase for mobs or you are making them trivial in the overland. Obviously this will be great in harder content but making everything else that easy to kill doesn't seem like a sensible plan.

[@blktom]

I disagree. I think the damage boost makes your play style more viable and competitive instead of second tier. Boosting the mobs health will defeat the purpose of boosting you. Bloodied and Heavy Gunner builds dominate the game now. Having pistols and other weapons be on that same level is a good thing. Heck, I am stunned there isn't a Dual Pistol option yet...

[@wiggle_plays]

Yep. Raids being so much more challenging than the rest of the game is a bit of an issue. Hopefully more hard stuff is on the way.

[@beastabuelos6421]

Ricochet was taking your onslaught down when using gunslinger master

[@wiggle_plays]

Yep. I realized that after I made the video. Hopefully that gets straightened out before it goes live.

[@BongerZ013]

Wowee. I'm finally able to play my western cowboy fantasy.

[@samuelalleman4697]

I’m probably going to ditch adrenaline and ammo factory for the onslaught perks

[@dp10656]

Why do you have ammo factory equipped and using up a perk slot, it's only use is for crafting ammo. Do you need to craft ammo so often? I'm just trying to understand the choice.

[@samuelalleman4697]

@ it’s just something temporary at the moment, but once i get to 150 on the scoreboard, I’m spending all my tickets on perk coins to level up the agility perk card

[@dp10656]

@ I can understand it, my other character is desperate for perk coins, while my main is sitting on tons of them.

@@Mr3ppozz Oh I have done that many times in the past, questioning why is my damage lower...looks at ammo factory card, oh that'll be why. lol

at least this means the gauss pistol will finally become the hard hitting machine it always was meant to be, with the increases to its base damage and the gunslinger master effect charging it wll finally feel good lol

[@vvtangy]

I think the gauss rifle would be really good with this

[@Mr3ppozz]

But does it loose stacks with the explosive hit on other targets too ??? Cus that is what used to be the problem with furious on a single target...anything with splash damage would reset the scaling

[@vvtangy]

@ that’s actually a good question, but didn’t they fix a similar issue with vampires triggering more than once if you had explosive? If so, they could do the same here

[@wiggle_plays]

Stacks don't reset when you hit other targets.

[@Mr3ppozz]

@@wiggle_plays that's good to know! Thanks

[@Momofukudoodoowindu]

4 shots on a lvl 100 scorchbeast... 🤨 Im glad pistols are doing much better but thats kind of stupid ngl That rivals the Tesla Cannon and thats a massive shoulder mounted energy cannon.... 🥴

[@qcdoomqc]

Your videos are really great. Very nice how you display effects in such controlled ways. But could you confirm if you keep stacks between weapons? For exemple if you have 2 weapons with furious, will you keep stacks when swapping between them?

[@wiggle_plays]

Swapping weapons does not remove stacks.

[@qcdoomqc]

@ tnx for the answer, man! Take care

[@dhunter1133]

I don't see how full health commando carries forward after onslaught gets implemented. Bloodied will still be competitive because of the fringe benefits (high SPECIAL, etc), but I don't see how non-bloodied stealth commando can compete.

[@nadeatoms]

stealth builds have always been in the dust of the others, particularly in events

[@blktom]

Furious will be the new Full Health Commando build. Instead of Stealth you take the Gunslinger perks. So to your point, the Stealth aspect will be dead or you will have to make hard choices. The real problem will be (as you kind of alluded to) will be the ranks for the other SPECIAL stats. A Bloodied build can get away with a 4 Strength and still have 300+ carry weight. You might have to have all of your legendary perks be stat perks to make up for it. So you might have to go 15 Agility and Perception and 4s in the rest pumped up by the legendary stat boosts. Maybe four at 10-11 and two at 4-5. This is how I would do a Power armor build (see below). Charisma and Strength would be my dump stats. Then you can choose if you want to pump up Charisma or put something like Energy Absorption or Follow Thru instead. It depends on what you care about for Perk cards. I would otherwise do stuff like make Endurance my second Star effect for my armor to help pump my health and weight reduction perks for the 3 star. Or do you go Str and AP regen/reduction for VATS and carry weight? As for the first star, I don't know, Vanguard? Mutants? Aristocrat? Whatever is best for you. Good thing is the Backpack is saving you Perk points that can go into other cards, so that is the benefit for wearing normal armor. I see power armor as a option as well if you embrace the lack of Stealth aspect. Plus the Assault Rifle doesn't look totally ridiculous when used by Power Armor, unlike the Fixer. Then you can still do Endurance and weight reduction for legendary effects, but get Overeaters as well. Remember the inherit boost to carry weight (Calibrated Shocks too) and Strength. Again, depends on what you value. Remember no backpack in power armor, so Traveling Pharmacy will probably be a must-have perk because you will need Stims. And if you are doing Overeaters, you need the food weight reduction perk. It will not be a build for hoarders, that is for sure. It will probably be more of a end game build than a starting out build as well. Because of the lower Int and Chr, your XP gain will not be amazing either (again, more of a end game build). Mutation selections will be a little more difficult as fewer will be super useful to you depending on your route. This build might be really good on a non-mutation build because it will save you on Perk cards like Class Freak and Starched Genes allowing you to take other more important cards to directly help you. Again, it depends on what you value. I can see Marsupial and Herd Mentality being really good on the build as well... can you afford those cards or carrying serums? If so, go for it.

[@pz7510]

you should consider how these onslaught perks work with traditional swing melee!

[@blktom]

They wouldn't. None of the stack perk cards effect melee, as it all says ranged or reload. Is it even possible to put Furious on a melee weapon?

[@TheDaggat]

Nice, so Rifleman build is finally a viable option

[@shibumae647]

@around 7:10 when you are showing perk stats i noticed inspirational now seems to have a 250ft limit for teammate benefits and only 7% for you , is that another new thing or did they just not clarify it before?

It's new. Inspirational scales with Charisma. Mine is pretty low.

I had not seen this before... that'll be a new change to keep an eye on.... Wiggle get on that too xD to inform people that pay as much attention as me xD

[@shibumae647]

@@wiggle_plays guess I'll shift those now useless 3 points in charisma in to agility to get more gunslinger perks but i guess we'll all wait for people like you to test it out. I can see my current bloodied commando build being difficult to integrate the new perks in to so guess there could be a new META after so long Now there's so many good perks in agility it's overloaded , like endurance. It's time for them to up the special cap to 20 at least for one chosen special(even if you have to go through hoops to get it)

[@blktom]

@@shibumae647 I dunno, I like the hard choices it makes the players make. Can you still do this with full Action Boy, Adrenaline, and Gun-Fu? Sure, your Stacks are just reduced to the Furious level plus what ever Gun perks you can squeeze on. Just like you can use Stacks without Furious if you value some other effect over Furious (Vampires for example) that you value.

How does Pounder's stack for Onslaught?

[@wiggle_plays]

Pounder's and Furious stack. The gunslinger and guerilla perks work for ranged only.

[@brandonmurphy301]

If I stack some Onslaught with a ranged weapon, then switch to melee, will that still count during the stack time?

[@wiggle_plays]

It won't work. The stacks won't benefit melee attacks. They just sit there unused until you use a ranged weapon.

[@FalloutKurier6]

Don’t have PTS, do pistols get new dmg perks to compansate gun slinger and guerilla not giving dmg anymore?

The damage from the perks are rolled into the weapons by default... so you're getting just stronger pistols in general

Great for bosses, useless for mobs. Stacks drop to zero when you hit a different enemy or ten seconds passes. Exploit this for your Raid build, but Bloodied still reigns almost everywhere else.

[@resurikeiryu1895]

I wish they would tie strength to bow damage on top of the bow damage cards; the greater your strength, the more damage your bow does. It seems thing’s tend to favor automatic weapons or heavy weapons. I want to be able to stick with the bow/crossbow and have a chance to raid.
