How to Set Up Gunner Farm in Fallout 4 For Easy EXP and Loots

[@Maxroll778]

The fact that the FREE CHEMS trap works so well on Raiders / gunners makes me think that they have the approximate intelligence of a lobster

[@thresherslicer9567]

At least they can read and know the meaning of it😂

[@PatrickDavis9491]

I made a gunner farm at Starlight Drive which was great. After leveling and developing other settlements, I scrapped the farm and made a pretty nice settlement out of Starlight. Now it is constantly attacked by gunners, lol.

[@hugojimenez9693]

Yeah I just wait until I'm level 40 with xo1 power armor, but with the spray and pray it becomes trivial.

[@DukeofSalt]

@@hugojimenez9693on survival it’s okay as long as you have settlement defences tbh

[@kaanosphere]

I built a 4 floor structure on spectacle island. 20 cages each floor. It's fully closed. So no gunner can't escape. There's a bed, chemistry stuff near it for well rested buff and savant trigger. I'm using unyielding set, so 15 int on gears, 10 from skill tree, bobblehead, chems... 30+ int. I'm 300 level but still getting a level with one run. I also build one structure on nuka cola settlement(60 cages), one on abernathy farm(30 cages) and the others. One map run gives me 4-5 level and shitload of armor, ammo, gun, caps and chems.

[@slyllamademon2652]

You can use endgame power armor for this and a ripper. You will need a Yao guai roast because in the final build of the game it does 500% damage fortification to your melee attacks. Which means you can mow through these gunners with ease. Make sure you pop a med x before jumping in though because it gives you 25% less received damage.

[@MeExist]

You can also add a psycho in the mix for even more carnage.

[@msomething3579]

After seeing this I decided to set up a similar scene. The first run was quite fun with 12 cages and a wood observation tower. When the cages were opened the gunners, raiders, ghouls, and one super mutant all attacked each other in an amazing melee so I just watched and didn't take any action until only one faction was left standing, the gunners. In my second version I reduced the number of gunners but my location was being attacked before I returned which damaged the electrical and opened the big door. So for my third attempt I made things bigger, added a better mix of cages including a radscorpion. Also built a secure concrete tower for the generator and switches to control everything. Plus across way across from the warehouse door I added a surprise for the uninvited attackers. An array of electric powered lasers, heavy lasers, and some missile launchers which are powered down. My concrete tower is raised on pylons with windows on each side. There are no stairs or entrance from ground level so each time I had to create some stairs, put them in place, exit build mode to open the door to the secure room. Too many steps in the middle of action so instead I'll see if I can put my fast travel target inside the tower. So when the arena was full and the location came under attack buy a dozen or more that is when I powered up the automatic defenses and it was wonderful. After the attackers were eliminated with no damage to my secure tower, I opened the cages and watched the fun. Once I expand the arena and get it all setup I'll capture the events on video and post them. The gunners work well together so I need enough other factions to balance the results. I had set up another cage arena at a settlement but that caused that settlement to be attacked too much and I didn't want to spend time running to defend them. I enjoy the game, but not playing to win since I want to collect more junk, build more stuff, shoot more bad guys and an occasional good guy too.

[@TheVampireFreddo]

In case people didn’t know, dropping the radiation guns that children of the atom use and storing them in the workshop takes a huge chunk off of the build limit. Something about the amount of detail on them makes them ideal for this.

OOMMFFFGG, i cant believe my eyes that this is even a thing. Man i was super impressed with what you build and how you set it up. But this is by far the best thing i have ever seen in my life. You need a medal and be put in fallout hall of fame for the best of anything you could do in this game ever. I bow down in full respect.

[@AlJennXander]

Best way to do this is making it more square rather than a long tunnel and setting up a pitching machine in the middle you can turn on remotely with artillery smoke grenades. Have artillery cannons set up with assigned settlers. Stand far enough away so random bombs can’t hit you if they happen to miss and let the artillery rain down. You get exp for every kill and never have to even look at a gunner or waste ammo. You want the smoke grenade to land in the exact center of the cages for maximum accuracy. Put a bed nearby for rested exp and a box with berry mentats stored in it for the int buff. Wear int gear and do it at night if you have the night person perk.

[@kimbleesmith858]

Unless you use mods this doesn't work, if you throw a smoke grenade in the borders of a settlement they won't fire, the guy on Radio Freedom says to cancel the firing orders due to it being on friendlies. The wiki mentions that it sort of works if you do it on the border of the settlement or near the max build height but it won't be very accurate

[@JuanPablo-h6x]

​@@kimbleesmith858 IT would bé a waste but you could use your Own granades, turrets or traps from the dlc

[@ObeyCamp]

In the build menu under Power > Connectors & Switches there are wall conduit items and wall switches so you don't have to use a pylon and have ugly wires zig-zagging all over away from the building and then back.

[@MeExist]

The built in switch on the large pylon is nice though.

[@fahrenheit016]

The author of this SHOULD'VE put a warning in the description and in the video. Using the "settlement glitch" 3:28 might corrupt your game permanently and there is no going back except loading a backup save.

[@nikephoros9297]

Are you sure? I've used it myself, and saw plenty of other people use it, from what I've heard it can only be problematic if done in sancutary, red rocket and abernathy farm at the same time because they are loaded at once, it should otherwise be fine.

[@solidmoon8266]

The only real issue with settlement glitching is it can cause performance drops, and deprnding on how crazy you go, can crash the game, potentially corrupting the save file. Doing it a little bit is fine, it just deoends on your PC

[@GreekHusky73]

I've seen a similar one where they had the gunners open into a hallway/conveyor belt with a bunch of turrets to kill them. and then the player flipped a switch leading to the conveyor belt to activate eventually leading to some sort of automated body dispensor leading to storage piece with all the loot.

This is hard to do in Survival mode. Half the time when I get back to the farm, Gunners have raided the settlement and damaged many of the cages, even when the farm is enclosed in a concrete structure. Very annoying.

[@poopdogg666]

On PC there is an ultimate survival mod

[@colbeh]

I was able to consistently do this in survival, here's my process: - power gunner cages and make them active - sleep and pass the time until the gunners arrive to raid - take them down (helps if you've already fortified the settlement with defenses like missile launchers) - when the raid is over, you're free to sleep and wait until every cage is occupied - burn through them and repeat the cycle

[@dsrtstrmvet9644]

I made one very similar to this one. Stacked 3 high on each side. Firing Platform is above the screen as well as the switch to open traps.

[@JoshuaJohnson-xf4dv]

it is possible to place conveyors down on the floor to move the bodies naturally to one end of the farm? i am working on minor efficiencies to combine this with an auto-butcher .

[@zaydmuminuun]

This but instead you could have the powered turret guns and missile launchers that only activate upon being given power, door closes, Cages open and turrets switch on. Total chaos. There’s also clipping designs that make the turrets have full field of view but zero field of being attacked

[@solidmoon8266]

Then you wont get xp.

[@zaydmuminuun]

Yeah forgot the title was “xp” farm 😅 I’m mainly just here for the gunner gear

[@cookiebrain129]

Intermingle the raiders, deathclaw, and gunners. They kill each other.

[@dmd733]

[@teg4528]

Becauqe there is 2 sort of metal wall than look the same

[@NINacide]

I built a prototype model and it works. Question for version 2, if they fell from a great height, would they take fall damage?

[@solidmoon8266]

You should put powered conveyors to release all the gunners and force them into a kill box thats not near the cages, generators, or anything that can be broken. Make it 2 tall and add a backboard, then toss a few grenades in, easy peasy xp thats a lot safer. Then you can also just use a powered garage door to open the kill box and get the loot.

[@TheFK8Life]

Quincy run - mass exchange runs = gunner loot + free power armor frame Cool traps tho - I just build water farms and have 999+ at each settlement - 1400+ waters per day 18k+ caps per day per farm

[@RustyVaperGameplay]

And no trader has 18k caps to buy it all...

[@ShadowAimai]

Rocket sentry guns arranged around the kill zone also works.

Half the idea here is to get the XP from killing them yourself.

Thanks a ton for this. FO4 is my go-to chill game, love building with Place Everywhere. Regretted doing the You're Special! book trick to max out my Intelligence, so I couldn't make proper use of Idiot Savant.

If you steal the mini nuke from good neighbor it will respawn as well as the gun. Same for the .44 pistol and rounds outside Sanctuary.

:0:43 it says “do this on the other side aswell” (build a wall) so I did that and when I go to any of the corners it to do the thing at 0:51 it creates a wall perpendicular to another wall and it isn’t shown like that in the video so I’m a little confused

[@edendoesfallout5767]

Amazing video! Please continue making content, I love your videos! I think you could try challenge runs, they usually get a lot of views in the fallout 4 community on KZbin!

[@kerjectroter3761]

That can also works with raiders, super mutants and if you are brave death claws as well.

[@IvanGarcia-xy7bf]

So I had this similar idea Way back when I think contraption DLC arrived and I made a high up platform above the Warwick farms open water containers with broken steel walk bridges , funny thing was if aim a trap floor right next to the Gunner or raiders boxes they would drop right into the water and couldn't escape and slowly Die from the Radiation of the Water, and at that point you can just jump in the pool of water and collect there gear easy 👍😎

[@treanttrooper6349]

Top tip, scrapping the weapons gives you more settlement space reduction that storing them, by a lot

[@magicshamanz]

Hi.. Wanna say thank you for the tutorial.

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

Nah, I just place the Gunner/Raider cages 5 or 6 stories up high and make them fall to their death each time I open the cage. An easier and FASTER way to farm their gear in the vanilla game than using the machine thingies from the Wasteland Workshop (or was it the Contraptions? idk) DLC.

[@Edcognito]

I didn't even *THINK* about making them fall to their deaths......

[@Hyuduro]

I use to do this with the Brahmin/Yao Guai/Deathclaws, lol.

[@santipierinirees3994]

thanks fur being, muh dude!!!

[@geomodelrailroader]

I would be careful doing that. If you build an arena every hour passed means a different ranked Gunner is in the trap. Gunner Privates and Gunner Corporals all carry side arms mostly pistols and grenades they are easy to pick off. If you caught a Gunner Officer steer clear because they will have blasters and laser rifles and Majors, Commanders, and Captains all carry heavy weapons rocket launchers, machine guns, fatmans, bazookas, gatling laser, and a few also have railguns. also you need to be extremely careful because some Gunners are Mr. Gutseys which will blow up and some are Asaultrons or Gen 2 Synths and they will have lasers so you need to be careful.

[@airmanmike3000]

I'm currently trying to build this, but the radiation barrels in the water are extremely annoying. Can I scrap them out?

[@lordwintertown8284]

Hm G'day, Alright I'm a bit late to commenting on a slightly old video but if using Starlight Drive in would it be smarter to put yourself on the roof of the screens so you're higher & more out of range from the gunners? I know that you can place guard posts up top so I figured to ask. It's funny I've never done one of these farms before always just watching these vids but as of now redoing a Fo4 run I may try this farm type for once although on a smaller scale I believe.

[@Syzleaf]

It can work actually. But if you want to utilize the large screens, then it is better to also put the switch up there. That way, you can immediately start farming as soon as you turn the switch off.

[@apotheases]

Should set up a conveyer belt that automatically removes and then processes all the body parts. Thus auto looting everything.

I don’t have an option to build cages, and what is the purpose in building cages anyway? I am on Xbox, this seems cool, what attracts gunners to those cages?

It's DLC (Contraptions?) and you build the cages and that has a % chance to catch whoever they're built for. You can catch supermutants, Radscorps, deathclaws, raiders or gunners (depending on the trap).
