Fallout 76 The Fixer | Best Mods + How To Unlock (Full Guide)

[@adeyinkafagbayi]

Thanks a lot DTD. Fixer info was very helpful. I am a Level 45 Noob currently. After clocking Fallout 4, I started "Skyline Valley" and realised just how much of a great community Fallout has got. Very refreshing. ✌️

[@rahul-qm9fi]

I am level 38 and I was just roaming around today. I see a level 548. They showed me the gift emote and drops something. And it was the fixer. I couldnt believe it. Thank you, cindidecouta !

[@Arkham117]

You can’t scrap a fixer, but just scrap combat rifles for the mods. Great vid as always

[@DTDGamer]

I know my bad lol. Thanks mate

[@Arkham117]

No problem, I just started a new game on PC and wondered what I was doing wrong, this was last week 😂😂

[@howdidigethere-lo8kl]

Made a ton of fixers just to find out i couldnt scrap em

[@santiago-xx2cb]

​@@howdidigethere-lo8klsame bro

[@ragtop63]

Right but the real question is, how do you even get the plans to craft a rifle in the first place? I have been playing this game for 3 days now and I can't seem to find plans for anything useful. Just keep getting plans for CAMP aesthetics.

[@martinhelgesson1417]

Forgotten feature is the sneak bonus, harder to detect, which is connected to the Fixxer. Running AA or Bloodied as daily drivers with bullets explode for damage a Or ffr in close quarters where you don't want to be detected.

[@UpsetFather]

Ive got an Anti Armor Explosive with 90% reduced weight and its fantastic for my explosive commando build

[@peterclarke7240]

I've been trying to roll one of those for FAR to long. 🤣 I've got an explosive with weight reduction, but the other star is target damage reduction. Sigh...

[@indianrohlik]

I got AA+EXP, but still thinking about Blood+exp. It could be better

[@fluffnera]

I have this combo also and I love it. It's my first time running a commando build and it's perfect for it.

[@siegetheday5gaming963]

I got the anti armor as well and then with the pre installed magazine with 40% ignoring armor it ignores a total of 90% armor which is insane if you think about it

[@P1GgY663]

I got a quad with plus 50 crit damage and invisibility

[@ThorSparks]

I'm 6 months late to the party but I was lvl 35 and got the plan from completing the quest where you rescue the reporter from the blood raider gang. May have just been random, but fyi in case it helps anyone.

[@glengrandstaff9695]

It`s my go to weapon for 90 percent of game play. I have them in Bloodied, Anti Armor, Quad and Two Shot. Bloodied and Quad are my favorites.

[@blackwulf4396]

The fixer is an amazing all around rifle with decent output. Personally I use the vampire legendary on mine ...it's seriously effective when running into groups of enemies ...but really ANY variety is a must have in your arsenal

[@ANG3LxOFxWAR]

When I'm solo I use my vampire explosive fixer but in team I use my Q50 fixer

[@last2nkow]

yeah, i found a Vampires explosive fixer in a vender for dirt cheap and i love it for those Oh Shtt close quarters moments

[@hopspusher3052]

I run with a quad, explosive with 25% lower vats cost. I got it for a steal at a vendor for $6k caps. Works wonders at events like guided meditation, moonshine jamboree and eviction notice. If I could ever roll a duplicate, I would absolutely use the ultracite ammo.

[@DTDGamer]

Nice drop!

[@yeahok1839]

Probs the best fixer in the game

[@Lowverii]

someone dropped 5000 45 ammo in a chest god bless fallout 1st users

[@sl1ckn1nja420]

The reflex sight balances out the fixer perfectly I've noticed a better performance especially in vats.

[@johnchapel6988]

6:00 how did you get the percentages to show of the actual mod stats? All I see when I play is Green "ups" or red "downs".

[@OddNess9339]

Met a super high level today who not only gave me the Fixer plans so i can craft it myself but also gave me a 2 shot explosive fixer XD. The whole public team i joined actually just showered me with gifts for no real reason than to be nice. Only problem i have with it is that the recoil is SUPER high for an automatic. Like 2 shots and i am aiming into the stratosphere. Other than that it's pretty good.

[@zarda1484]

The fixer has bad recoil and is better for vats. if you want free aim you need the handmade rifle.

[@bsherder]

I have a Fixer with +50% Armor Penetration, +50% Limb Damage, +50% Damage Resistance While Aiming. Regular health setup. I haven't gotten any mutations yet. Lvl 140. Concentrated Fire perk helps so i can get limb damage. I didn't like it automatic so i went with Hardened, Aligned stock instead of forceful stock, otherwise mod picks were the same.

[@Kevosullivan13]

Thanks for the video Dan! I swooped from fixer to handmades a while back but after watching this I might have to dig them back out again!

[@DTDGamer]

No problem pal! It’s a tough choice, I think if you are a vats player use the fixer but if you like to run around aiming then handmade for me

[@Kevosullivan13]

@@DTDGamer I didn’t realise fixer was better with vats, melting enemy’s away now! Haha

[@alexo277]

When I scrap the combat rifle it doesn’t give me mods anymore, but I still don’t have the powerful auto reciever

[@DTDGamer]

just gotta keep trying

[@johnhubbard6262]

Thanks, got the quest drop yesterday after watching your vid.

[@joeymuse2229]

sorta new to the game. tried it out at launch and hated there were no npc's. but back and lovin it now. i play on PC and can't wait until i can afford a fixer. great vid ( gave a like and a sub )

[@TheDough19]

Amazing rifle that suits a couple builds. Got it at level 45 and still use it at 225

[@iamdarkbloom_]

I have reached a point in the game where damage is easy to come by (specially when you main a Q rail). That being said, my daily and basically "everything other than bosses" weapon is a V2525R with a quick mag. Speed demon, ground pounder, 15R and a quick magazine make reloads almost inatant. Really fun to use as a bloody unyi commando. Swift works too but and is probably better for my specific setup but I really enjoy the fastest reloads possible. Give it a try 😉

[@rodolfoacostatorres8196]

I am level 66, I already have the fixer blueprint, but when I build it at level 50 it barely reaches 60-70 damage and even though I have made improvements to it, the damage still adds practically nothing. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@cherrrybracelets]

if you want to main the fixer, invest in perk cards that increase auto rifle dmg & rank them up. also there’s different mods you can equip to maximize dmg. it starts at 4:35 :)

[@PotatoBomb1362]

My favorite weapon i always carry two fixers bloodied explosive 15 critical fill and quad 25 faster fire rate 15 critical fill .

[@countrytaterboy]

I run a bloodied commando crit monster build with a anti-armor, faster fire rate Fixer but I use the auto .38 receiver. It’s underrated AF for daily use and I turned my nose up on the auto .38 receiver for the longest time. I will never run out of ammo and I 1-2 shot most enemies during my events and rare item runs.

[@monkeyeattail]

If you use TsE on a Fixer or Handmade, you should Mod them for accuracy, meaning true attachments plus a long scope. The TsE is the most ammo efficient in terms of time to kill, but you should compensate for the accuracy debuff.

[@_Phn1x_]

Dude I love your voice it’s so calming

[@DTDGamer]

Haha thanks mate

[@Apex-jf4pn]

The day I decided I wanted to make a commando build I opened 4 mutated party packs and in one was the plan for the fixer. What luck

[@GrapplerS10]

Fixers can’t be scraped from what I recall. Only can scrap combats for mods.

[@DTDGamer]

True true! Mistake on my end

[@Poke-ladd]

My friend got the plan by pure luck first time she played the event and I helped her do the sheepquatch quest line and despite doing that event every time it pops up for about a year I never got it, until I found a vendor selling multiple plans of it for cheap

[@DTDGamer]

That’s rough, glad you got it in the end though!

[@AhylawanMFB]

I’m completed the Encryptide event twice without finishing the quests and I haven’t received the fixed plans.

[@rizezaki]

U have to finish the quest lowe down for it to drop the plan. But it rare i think

[@danroberts007]

Oh man. A couple hours ago I was looking at a player vendor who had plans for The Fixer for sale... and I didn't know what it was! D'oh! >.

[@genghisken0181]

I ran into one that had 9 he was selling for 6k each. I felt like a kid trying to buy a giant candy bar with only a .25 cent piece in his hand...

[@DannyFR30]

Ive been playing but miles off getting anything good. Still doing missions slowly.

[@manongban6505]

I just recently rolled an Anti Armor, 50% crit dmg and -25% AP and it's absolutely devastating

[@Kyoshin116]

I got anti armour, explosive bullets and 25%+ damage with mutations today, probably my best roll so far

[@roxas9285]

I got anti armor, 50% and movement speed on mine for my FIRST ROLL EVER IN THE GAME 😭

[@alexwilson365]

Limb breaker is great, perhaps a little underated

[@KordzikowskiPlayz]

If you use VATS only, no need for the reticle. If you want more VATS accuracy, use the long scope, especially paired with -150% hip fire recoil, you’re chillin.

[@zarda1484]

Tweaked automatic receiver is best if you have a crit build. If the second or third star is a crit enhancer you might want to go with that. Obviously this is only for vats users.

[@Mpediment]

Quad explosive. Ammo for days and damage to everything.!!!😊

[@orthex13]

I am a heavy gunner PA user, all weapons are Vamp and esplosive when possiable. But I carry a explosive, vamp, lt weight fixer for those times I am out of PA and dont want to run around with my .50 cal out. Have it set up for damage instead of stealth since I am a PA user, and dont use stealth.

[@golferuk2011]

Was given a fixer from a player it uses Ultracite ammo I have no idea what that means for ammo i just do a ammobox run.

[@dirtbagchris]

my daily driver is a b50crit 25. at hard events i change it up to the b2525. on explosive i use a be25. and qe25. but i use a diffrent mag. i use the stinging mag.

[@DTDGamer]

Nice rolls mate! I miss my quad fixer 😢

[@sanguinephoenix5892]

Mine are vampire's because of the survivability with being a bloodied build

[@rickynolen8882]

I run a quad auto receiver it gets lower hit points than the piercing magazine, but I make up for it with 80 rounds of ammo too.

[@captainyesterday3463]

I've tried that build with blodied and otherwise, I really don't recommend it for anything else but clearing WestTek or PvP. You will struggle everywhere else. You can't take damage, you cant solo daily Ops, you can't solo about anything without dying miserably and using a shitload of stimpaks. Switched back to PA and Heavy weapons like the .50 cal with no reliance on pipboy, clearing WestTek in under 2 minutes, soloing daily ops and about everything else. Even the Queen doesn't pose any challenge.

[@TylerArmstrong-gx4ub]

How do I get the bloody explosive variant u are talking about, I currently have a level 50 fixer with a 3 star rating first mod being bloodied legendary mod 🎖️, crippling🎖️🎖️, agility🎖️🎖️🎖️, do I need to re roll with legendary module and cores in order to recieve the same variant u are running?

[@DTDGamer]

Keep it until after the next update mate and reroll a standard fixer. If you reroll that one you will lose the bloodied stat

[@Ima184mm]

I probably choose Bloodie, Faster Fire Rate and Fast Reload legendary effect for the fixer

[@nuggiesss6193]

How does semi auto compare to auto damage wise?

[@DTDGamer]

All depends on your build as semi auto classes as a rifle so needs rifleman perks where as the auto needs commando perks

[@rollthepoint4971]

@@DTDGamer I understand the commando vs rifleman perks need to be equip, I'm just curious about the difference in overall damage output in terms of holding down the trigger in auto vs hitting fire really fast in semi-auto. Semi-auto receivers list higher damage when you switch to them, but the speed of auto may compensate for the DPS. Most people run the Fixer in auto/Commando, but I don't see anyone with a good comparison video of the overall damage output between the two: "holding fire in auto vs pressing fire really fast in semi-auto". Hope that makes sense.
