Am I the only person that actually liked doing these? Only one that kinda made me sigh and gave me trouble was the revive a player in water one cuz I play without friends mostly. But I got lucky during a swarm of suitors event and a low level got gangbanged to death by some land-sushi aka Mirelurks, I chose to sit back and watch until the person died (ik I'm terrible) I revived him, took care of the mob, dropped the him some loot for their troubles helped him finish the rest of the event and left happy af.

I started playing right around the time you released this video, and it helped me understand a lot about the game. Sometimes, the "chance" rewards from the daily events are more reliable than the dedicated badge/quest rewards.

(The photos one was what got me... some weren't counting and I never went back after the 2nd try lol) Also, props to KATAPAN for repping the positive FO76 community. You don't see that kind of interaction/behaviour in other games, and it's a nice thing to know some gamers are still considerate, caring people, rather than just toxic nightmares online. 🙂

[@RossMalagarie]

To kill enemies with the weak syringe to get the challenge just shoot the enemies with any gun until they are almost dead then finish them off with the syringe Same with the knife or any other specific weapon kill challenge

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, the game only counts the last bit of damage against challenges and throwables count as your main weapon doing the killing.

[@GoodlyData86596]

Also, just like how certain challenge runners do things, it counts gun bashing as killing with the weapon you are bashing with, so if the gun is so shit that you are better off killing your foe with the gun itself instead of it’s bullets you should just do that. I would recommend equipping the gun bash perks, but that’s recommending using something that only people who have obtained the perks in the perk packs and didn’t immediately scrap that crap would be able to use so yeah its kinda a mute point.

[@JChrist69]

​@@GoodlyData86596I wonder if grenades thrown with the weapon equipped would count

[@gordiausprime614]

Because of the laggy nature of 76 you can kill with any weapon and quickly switch weapons to get the points, it doesn't work all the time but it works enough of the time.

[@gilpo123]

The dailies and events will only drop Possum badges. The tadpole badge isn't referenced from the reward lists at all. And they will only start dropping possum badges after you've achieved the rank of possum. The only way to get tadpole badges is through the challenges (or that one season long ago that gave some on the scoreboard). Source: datamining the game's files.

@@Tyler-f00k1n To clarify, it's only the Pioneer Scout dailies (Operation Tidy and Stings and Things) and the Campfire Tales event that reward badges. But yes, do those after you get the backpack.

[@last2nkow]

The best way to be holding a crap weapon and kill something is the Pile of Mines trick. Sneak up, set 22 plasma mines on the same spot, poke the target with your terrible weapon to make it angry at you, and watch it charge directly over your pile of boom and due in bloody chunks. I used this on Swan in FO4 and it worked pretty well. Took me a few piles of mines, but he dutifully charged right over them.

"Sprinting past enemies" the ghouls catch up to me while I have speed demon/squad maneuvers. It's mentally stunted on Bethesda's part to allow every single ghoul to be a cross country LEGEND

[@BrentLeVasseur]

You forgot mutations. The first thing I did after creating my mule character (which is what you need the big backpack for) was to get speed demon, bird bones, eagle eyes, marsupial, etc… It makes everything so much easier. Also intelligence boost helps you level up quickly to get all the various perk cards you need quickly. I maxed out my strength and intelligence ASAP. That along with some cranberry relish, brain bombs and Berry Mentats allowed me to level up about 50 levels a day. By the end of day 5 I was already at level 250 with basically everything I needed. Then it was to become an Enclave General, launch a nuke, finish the main quest line and get Secret Service Armor with jetpack and deep pockets mods to hold everything. Total time from start to finish was 5 days of playtime. The biggest pain in the behind was the syringing the Yao Guai, because I kept killing them by accident prior to syringing them. It took me maybe 8 server hops and bear encounters before I was able to kill it with the syringer. That was a pain! 😂

[@AndyMac508]

I did stings and things and operation tidy daily for a week and got 5 possum badges in that 1 week. If you just start doing those 2 dailies i guarantee you'll have the backpack mod in 2 weeks or less. They have a "small" chance at giving a possum badge on completion and i swear it feels like a good 25% chance or so.

[@ogi-wankenobi3638]

DONT CHASE +120 backpack. Get this basic +60 from main scout missions and then buy CHEM plan from Minerva. Its 260 bullion and you will get -90% weight on all chems. That is worth a lot more than additional +60 carry + you will save 3 strenght perk points to use on something else.

[@karasabrekitty5208]

i have done these quests 13 times now, in my experience if you have a single friend in the game or just find a nice high level player who understands what you're trying to get just doing stings and things, operation tidy, swimmer, athlete and archer are in my experience the fastest, my best time to date on getting the big backpack is like 150 minutes.

I permanently roleplay as a pioneer scout. Clean the toxic waste has 4 locations you can get. The town right beside the npc. The other town south of the lake. Hemlock holes golf course and finally the lake itself. Tadpole badges. There are only 9 badges required to buy all the tadpole items. Hat and suit and the plans for tadpole stuff. There are 10 tadpole challenges so dont be wasting too much time as a tadpole. The challenges for badges can seem tough but they arent so bad. So maybe only stay as a tadpole until you collect just a few extra badges so you dont have to complete all the challenges. Once you are possum scout you will need to grind for badges if you want all the possum stuff. Do all the challenges doesnt get you far for possum stuff. Maybe run high luck build to get badges easier from the dailies and event if that even works. The challenges overall are fun and will kind of take you everywhere. Do these alongside the other camera challenges like taking pics in zones or the tourist camera quest to double up on getting things done.

[@thebritishippie]

Nice vid man! Can I ask if you've changed your FOV settings, as your setup is displaying nicely - unlike the "scope takes up the entire screen" usual Beth Ui lol

[@RyeGuyGaming9001]

Almost a week of doing the dailies and still 0 possum badges. Yes I have the Standard (+60) backpack. Not sure if just really unlucky or I'm missing something else.

[@thelastlostcause4148]

It definitely isn't a 25% drop rate as everyone seems to report. I've done both of the two dailies on eight days over the course of the last month since I started playing, and I haven't gotten a single badge from either. I also do Campfire Tales each time it pops up, and I've gotten nothing from it either. If it were a 25% drop rate, then I should have gotten four from the dailies alone, or at least one by now lol

[@RyeGuyGaming9001]

​@thelastlostcause4148 so funny enough, I just got my first badge off the goo clean up daily Makes it like 1 outta 15 ish if I count the camp events. 😅

[@sargeantsargeant9138]

Fastest way to get to the scout camp is to wait for the Swarm of suitors event (I was lucky and I got it to get there myself).

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Ah yeah, that's very true. It literally takes place at the scout camp in the toxic valley.

[@Epicness560]

I spent about an hour grinding a single badge then i got bored and looked this up. Its good to know

[@CyPhaSaRin]

it's a huge help, even after watching videos on it it took me a week, i didn't focus hard on it, did the dolly sods area and then kinda moved onto grinding events and shit, but i think it would have taken me months had i not had this guide.

[@KVG_]

I completed 3 tadpole and 8 possum challenges and actually had fun. You explore a lot of stuff in the game while doing so. It felt like I was getting 100% achievements in some openworld exploration game after completed story. But I can see that a lot of people will see it as a slog

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, they're not bad in themselves. It's more of a question of having the backpack and the high capacity mod behind them. I wish there were more with the scout theme in the new update, just not gatekeeping essential items.

[@KVG_]

@@SequentialGamerFallout I agree with that. 120 carry capacity is too good to be hidden behind such challenges

[@rodeo_cwboy]

I love my Acheivos!!

[@blakethatcher4399]

Bro failed to mention crossbow is a level 45 item 😭😭😭 and here I was level 27 trying so hard to get a bigger backpack this way

[@drackar]

So regarding that roach in the locked closet? No roof. So if you, say, have a power armor with jetpack, which you can get reasonably easy, just check the boxes and suitcases around watoga after queen fights, and someone who's gotten a hundred of the things will drop a plan. Or just get someone to make you one. Also, you should be able to jump right over with marsupial.

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, marsupial or a jetpack should be good enough. I didn't have it when I was getting the backpack but I think that works.

[@drackar]

@@SequentialGamerFallout went and pulled off my jetpack torso, no problem.

[@demonlordotrt754]

I think the hardest one to pull off is arriving somebody while in water

[@RosettaRedfeather]

Pita = small backpack is fine, don’t be the fat mouse in Cinderella

[@MrStoqn4o]

25% to get a possum badge.... dose that activate after you finish the tadpole quest ? I've never looted a badge from the event, but I just did the quest 2 days ago ?

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, if you get the badge it'll show up as part of the rewards when you complete the dailies or the events.

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

And yes, before you become a possum only Operation Tidy (the nuclear clean up quest) gives you badges .. but only tadpole badges. After you become a possum you'll start to get possum badges from the dailies and events I talked about.

[@MrStoqn4o]

@@SequentialGamerFallout thank you . I was about to waste 35k on the plan from a guy u found . Now I will just wait till I get 8 badges from events and quests 😂

[@Kevlin0069]

@@MrStoqn4o It might still be faster to drop that 35k on the plan. RNG is RNG, after all, and you can count on the 1400 daily cap limit on vendors as well as always being able to find things laying on the ground that you can sell. 35k is pretty steep for this, but I'm guessing the seller is counting on someone out there being very desperate to stop being encumbered all the time, while also thinking about how much of a PITA it was for them to get the 8 badges just to sell the plan.

[@MrStoqn4o]

@Kevlin0069 nah i have a lot of rare plans to sell so caps are never an issue but now that I know they drop from the daily quests and event there is no way I'm paying that much 😂 I already have 2 badges so 6 more .

[@typical_doza]

That +120 carry weight isn’t even that good. If you’re someone who carries food, chems and lots of other stuff you might as well get a backpack that reduces 90% food or chems.

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, but I use both perks that reduce food & chem weight so for me high capacity is the way to go. If you can't spare the perk points then it's more of an argument.

[@imonyourside8376]

I carry as little of that as possible, not a fan of the bloodied builds.

[@typical_doza]

@@SequentialGamerFallout Spending perk points on the chemist card rather than a perk card that benefits me as a heavy build is not really an option I have right now. If you have perk card slots to spare I suppose you can do both.

[@OptimusHighMegaBong]

@@typical_dozalong story short . get your levels up . this backpack is great . you just have shitty management

[@bringbkth90s]

​@@SequentialGamerFallout those tasks you need to complete are challenges.

[@Reluctant90]

19:50 So Im not as observant as I thought. Since the thumbnail showed the 120 carrying capacity. I thought hey this guy cracked the code to easily get the high capacity mod. Instead I sat through a video which taught me nothing new. Booo 🤣 Great video for a new player though.

[@adicren]

I know I'm generally pretty unlucky, but I call bullshit on the 25% chance to get a badge from those two Dailies. My rate was probably closer to 10%. I ended up doing a combination of Possum challenges and picking up badges from the Dailies, and maybe one or two from Campfire Tales (always seems to pop up when I'm in the middle of something else) to get the High Capacity mod. Now I'm slowly working my way through all of the Possum and Tadpole badges just for my own sick completionist satisfaction.

[@tonydabaloney]

This is by far the hardest quest ,because it is so tedious. If I could just do them all and be done, but I've done almost every main quest except this. Even your way is boring.

[@gloomoholic798]

for the hunter badge you didn’t cover on where to get a hunting rifle and now i’m lost…

[@gloomoholic798]

does the fixer count?

[@gloomoholic798]

i doubt but won’t hurt to ask

[@gloomoholic798]

also i got the syringer from the bridge and its not a pipe syringer i used one of these to kill the yao and it didnt count

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

They're very common, scorched typically drop them. But you can check Sam Blackwell's bunker, there should be one there. Re the syringer, there's only one type of syringer. It sounds like you've either run into a bug or something else killed them.

[@gloomoholic798]

@@SequentialGamerFallout yeah bug idk why when i spawned at the place the yao would just die after a few seconds! got it all down thanks !

[@shawnweir8426]

I cant even figure out what im supposed to do to accomplish the pioneer tasks. Its not like it shows up maps or anything.

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Yeah, you do have to think about them a bit more. They're not super-difficult, but you do have to plan and look up things to find where you can find things what the challenges require. That's why I recommend doing the events and daily quests to get pioneer badges.

[@amandasailsbury1878]

I have the uniform and no hat.. do you have to wear the hat to get the challenges to start?

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Not as far as I recall. If there's any part that requires you to wear it, it'll say so.

[@Cama23onte]

Great Video!

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

Cheers!

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I hope they add Squirrel challenges in the Shenandoah Valley.

[@SequentialGamerFallout]

From what I've seen there's no indication of that but that's a pretty neat idea.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@SequentialGamerFallout no, but they're going full on with the scouts in the next season, so I wouldn't be surprised to find it on the horizon. It would also be an interesting way of adding some of the post season rewards rather than being Stamps or Bullion.
