The Ultimate Beginner's Guide (Levels 1-25) - Fallout 76

Use being in a team + events to get around the map. Jump to other teamates its free as are public events. Learn food buffs, this means you can put perk points into say gunnery and dps and also buff intelligence for XP. Public events are XP goldmines! Do them even if you just hide in a corner, no one is honestly going to care, they know exactly what your doing and may well even give you loot they can't carry or don't want. Get a hit on anything you can as the video states, this is a great guide! Never not scrap steel or lead, you'll thank me! The mothman event-Path to Enlightenment gives you a 5% XP buff, as does sleeping in a bed for 30 secs. This stacks as does cranberry cobbler, so 15% buff with those. My only issue with levelling fast is getting to level 50 in a day and not having enough scrap and weapons, so it's ok to take it easy and learn the game mechanics. It took me AGES to get to L30 1st time around, made a ton of mistakes, and its easy to respec our perks now *phew*, we were stuck with our mistakes back in the day younglings! No legendary perks either! So you CAN relax and screw up all you like. I've got to L20 several times with a damn walking stick lol.

Been playing since fallout 76 came out on ps4 premium. I'm having such a blast customizing my base. I feel I've spent more time doing that then missions. This game has everything I could want in a video game. I love being immersed into this world. I'm 33 and most games I lose interest very quickly. This game is not the case.

Wow, never knew about the map in the train station. Just like I didn't know about the lookout towers. I am such a hoarder so I feel the pick up everything and scrap vibe early in game. I remeber walking into Morgantown airport and seeing the level 45 pump shotguns on the ground just baffled that no one wanted this awesome gun, I was like level 20 or something. 🤣Of course Fallout 1st enables my hoarding to the next level. Once I hit 200 I want to go back on a 2nd character to play through missions and what not again. Of course thank you for the video, between you and Angry Turtle, learning more about the game in the last couple months than I did the first few at launch. Game is so different now.

[@pwvdam]

Ideas to include in your next beginner guide are all the free travel options including certain locations, player camps, player locations, your claimed workshops etc. Things I learned were that you shouldnt worry about the pvp aspect of claiming workshops, how it nets you lots of camp plans. Which side to align with for the free chinese stealth armor? How daily ops work? How to save ammo avoiding certain builds at early levels? Just some ideas, you're doing a great job!

Last played this back in 2018 or 2019 and had quit playing the game. After returning with a new character last night. I was shocked to be given any goodies by players. At the time before level 7 only one or two had dropped some stuff and it was kind of surprising. And i forgot the game wasnt crossplay either. And strangely enough, after returning after a long time. I kind of stayed away from trying to join teams since if the person knew I was a low level that I get kicked out because Im a low level.

[@bradgiez6192]

The biggest take from this video are two things for me, fallowing what part of the storyline & the biggest problem for me as a new player was which perk cards to use/select. I'm on week 3 of this game and I think my main is screwed up selected & leveled up a few junk cards & wasted points. My son is a returning play who quit playing over a year ago & with him playing only 14 hrs of this game he is at level 72 wow, so I started a new toon & fallowed what he did play all the events that pop up. One last thing, my son quit the game as he said it was boring & a grind. He said the changes made are a quaility of life thing for him & he is back playing fallout 76. He is liking some of the builds & loadouts which were added since he left.

[@feiryfella]

There's really only a few that are essential at first-Inspirational, travel agent & hard bargain in charisma, followed by strange in numbers. Intelligence throw whatever at that. Luck gets more important as you level up, but it depends on your playstyle. I'm really missing playing as my VERY expensive PC has broken a fan, so go out and have fun!

[@Durrutitv]

It doesn't matter if you made some bad picks, I think at lvl 25 you can start respeccing your special and before long you'll be scrapping cards to level legendaries anyway. By the time you're far enough into the game to get the gear to make a proper build, you'll have the resources to spec appropriately. Until then, just take whatever cards are useful at the moment and worry about your build when you're ready to spend resources on gear and you know what build you want to aim for. The biggest tip I can give to you is to join every event you see other players joining and just fire a couple shots at as many mobs as you can and let the vets carry you. Before long you'll be carrying other noobs, thus be the circle of life.

[@bradgiez6192]

@@Durrutitv thanks for your input, I will give it another go & try to fix this mess. 😀

[@Durrutitv]

@@bradgiez6192 yeah np. Don't get discouraged. When you hit 50 you'll have maxed SPECIAL but you keep choosing a card every level and you'll receive a pack every 5 levels, and that will go on ad infinitum, so you'll have absolutely no problem getting all of the cards you want. Additionally legendary cards open up at 50 and any of the bad card picks you've made can be put to use by scrapping them for perk points to level your legendary cards. Fortunately, the vast majority of quest content is easy enough to complete with just about any card load out and the community is super nice and have no gripes about carrying lowbies at events. If you stick with the game you'll find that your card troubles will go away pretty quickly and the real journey is putting together the best gear you can for the build you've chosen. I'm personally a sneaky lil bloody commando main with a 2nd power armor heavy gunner spec. If you're interested in pursuing either of those I will be happy to answer any questions about how I specifically went about evolving my builds as I built up the cards and gear I needed.
