Tips and Tricks Veteran Players May Have Missed - Fallout 76

Video of me showing tips and tricks veteran fallout 76 players may have missed.

[@JustAnotherNomad92]

Ops is best for prime if you have low ammo and you build it up. And prime is really good for scorched beast queen.

[@MrWestTek]

I should have mentioned its good for prime ammo. Great point.

[@asianartist1]

one thing that really affected vendors is that regular ammo vendors almost completed dropped out.... i am starting to see ultracite ammo vendors now.... and yes - i do buy ultracite when i am close to max caps and need to spend money on anything... ultracite ammo is GREAT to dump caps on if you find them. saves 6-10 minutes of work :p

[@asianartist1]

@@MrWestTek lol - had an event with a bunch of high ranks - took her down pretty quick - not seconds, but less than* a few minutes... pretty sure everyone was using ultracite ammo :)

[@thefreephilosopher7398]

Even with my handmade 5.56 automatic or my Fixer automatic I usually leave Ops with lots more ammo than I started with...

[@ilya1998tnk]

Great video! I advise some tip for begginners: Buy 1 slot in punch card machine and create a build only for crafting & repair. Add necessary perks like super duper, chemist, ammosmith, etc and max out intelligence for crafting improved fusion/plasma cores. You can easily switch between your main build and "craft" build. You will not waste your time choosing perks.

[@MrWestTek]

That's a great idea. I switch perk cards a lot...

[@Barlofontain]

I have one for crafting and trade I would advise removing most of the strength and all of the carry perks, so that you can't leave your camp or a vendor, in the wrong build (I had done that in the past haha)

[@CIintB3ASTW0oD]

@@Barlofontain You are 100% I was going to say the same thing. Don't know how many times I FT to the queen and then was wondering why I was going down like an upcoming starlet on Weinstein's 🛋️.

Dont forget to equip grenadier perk when using tesla rifle, it doubles the range of the energy ark.

Do you need both points in grenadier or one?

I share that perk with teammates for some extra fun, when they throw grenades.

[@mywifeisevil]

OOOHHHHH Nice. TY!

[@AntonisApostolopoulos]

If you want the tesla to tag more enemies aim the floor not the mobs, if you hit a mob directly it makes half the ark, when you aim to the wall or floor it bounces everywhere, also grenadier perk for double ark length

[@tumtumhero1436]

Nice video, thanks for reminding me about the vendor menu lol I completely forgot that was a thing. Some not some crucial tips I'd like to add. 1. You can keep important weapons/armor at the top or bottom of your pipboy menu by renaming them to have an A or Z at the beginning. 2. You can quickly scroll through the quick change favorite tab with the right stick on consoles. (Idk what it is on pc) 3. When performing an action that usually blocks your pipboy such as sitting, sleeping etc. Open map, find a quest marker and select show in pipboy. Voila pipboy unlocked!

[@rauchgranate5648]

That pipboy one is genius af, thanks.

[@redisk]

I recently got a 70yo friend into 76 and sending these tips to him to help him be less overwhelmed

[@MrWestTek]

That's awesome! My gf's dad is 60+ and we got him into 76 just over a year ago. Now he's level 1400+ lol.

[@uirzila]

Ammunition converter. make railway nails and hand them over to the converter, exchanging them for points to buy ammunition. there is always metal and there is always little lead :)

[@BipolarBearWithAHat]

Some of these I don’t know how you made it to 2000 without these they save so much time

[@itsmehere1]

Half of these have me wondering.... do yall just not look at you screens? They literally show these buttons on screen at all times and you still don't know about them?

[@darkdagger6]

Yah unfortunately most people would tell you they are highly perceptive and they would term them self as above average intelligence. When the reality is more the fact that if your perception blows then you are ignorant of how much you fail to perceive. So you only think your perception is good. Same thing with intelligence Dumb people struggle to process and understand why they are dumb. And it's basically impossible to explain to them why they dumb. Because if they where smart enough to understand it, then you wouldn't be having that conversation in the first place. It's why you should never argue with an idiot. Your only wasting your own time and agitating the derpy meat sack.

[@user-zp8kj2cl9g]

Why do you think companies keep dumbing down their games?

[@asianartist1]

Rusty and White Spring are new with the free travel. I think about a month or so ago they changed it. About the same time as the Pitt came out.

[@MrWestTek]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@Sir.hydraxis]

Idk if Nuka World on Tour was in the game at this point yet but that’s also a free travel spot, I use it as my main spot to trade as they have a trader there and a legendary script machine, so you don’t have to pay to go to a train station to sell items and get rid of extra legendaries

[@boozemoney]

You can use the toggle craftable on the all workstations. Works well with the Chem station.

[@MrWestTek]

Very good point.

[@xoth2306]

Not sure if just forgot to mention it but nukaworld on tour is also free to travle to

[@Donnyjohnsonbooks]

Thanks for the video. I must be doing well because I knew all of these.

[@nathaniel7996]

Another tip is to use perk cards that give you double or triple the amount of resources you pick up in case you're low or just starting out

[@iandrake8202]

The word you were looking for is Vault. Vault 76. Joking apart, great vid good info. More of these please

white springs and rusty pick never used to be free travel spots

[@martinmiller2529]

Good tips . Thanks I did learn 2 things (if only I had read the screen in the game) your level is impressive but level means you are still cap level of 100 and the rest is for more cards . There is a goal of 7600 hours game play but can platinum well before that .

[@Poke-ladd]

I don’t know if it is faster but most times to collect a huge amount of dirty water I just go to a river and spam collect rather than use the water pump, I do wish we had like a well or something which would produce dirty water for you

[@shadoink]

Doesn’t something like this exist? I swear I went to someone’s camp and they had this weird wheel structure that was producing dirty water, I could be wrong tho

[@Poke-ladd]

@@shadoink if it’s that giant water wheel I think it might be a shop item which isn’t available atm

there is a well structure where you can get dirty water ( have built one in my camp) but it is as slow as the tap. Lake or river are still the fastest ways to get dirty water...

Hi, Im pretty new to the game, and wanted to know is there a max on the amount of caps you can have at all, the reason I ask is the other day I got to 40,000 and it would not let me earn anymore

[@MrWestTek]

40K is the max. But you can make a new character and transfer them with a friend. Players usually call it their "mule".

[@asianartist1]

there's a reason, you see high ranks buying thousands of caps of vendor stuff.... if you need things - that's the perfect time to spend. i try to keep my caps to about 25-30k.... some of my vendor items will put me over 10k in a few seconds, so I try to leave room to maximize gains.... gainz... :p

Just craft loads of 2mm and put in ammo concertor it's the best way I've found to get plenty ammo points cheap used it all the time when I was using 40mm launcher ... Turtle agrees he's done the maths

[@Average1212]

@@MrWestTek yes best ratio for turn ins, and if you are using a Two shot Broadsider its one shot per kill. The only downside is they are very heavy so que into the opp/expedition at your camp because you will not be able to travel after the mission. And be sure to equip ordinance express.

[@TrustySquire]

Arrows are best ammo to convert. In terms of cheapest mats to craft

[@Average1212]

@@eugenemegatron2210 That is only a viable method if you have a ton of materials to craft with, if you have to mine and farm the mats you can get way more per hour with a broadsider (also a turtle video).

Maybe you could share a tip for reaching level 2200+ and retaining a girlfriend. That seems like an impossible combination😂

[@darkdagger6]

Patience and persistence and don't divide your focus on to many things. Don't play 10 different games like children do. Don't get distracted by stuff that dosent get you progress toward your goal. If you want levels, focus on this exp boosts that you can stack. Focus on always hitting the events that give the most exp. When double exp happens make sure your stucked on exp boosters, ammo, repair kits, ect. You don't want to have to stop mid double exp to repair stuff and get more ammo.

[@darkdagger6]

As for wife/ girlfriend Don't date a female that hates your hobbies. It always turns into resentment and them trying to make you feel guilty for what you enjoy. It's like someone trying to date someone who is passionate about sky diving. But they are scared of heights. Eventually they will form resentment because you always have to leave them behind to enjoy what makes you happy. Problem is that most people just settle for whoever makes them feel good, despite the fact they aren't fully compatible. Which may also result in both people trying to "fix" each other and make each other give up pieces of them self to force the relationship to work. That's not healthy, resentment will follow. I've clocked over 14k hours on Skyrim. Over 20k hours on Morrowind Over 13k on fallout 4 And over 5,300 so far on fallout 76 And my wife has supported it every step of the way. I make sure I always get my work done, and make sure her needs are met first. And she supports me in return. If your just trying to live on videos games, and not have to worry about responsibility or supporting a partnership. Then you will never find anyone who's willing to support you in turn.
