Hello By Hoobeza

[@ALMAX65]

I have a camp down at the wayward with all my resources unlocked, so free food for new players, and free stims and radaway in my vending machine, free ammo and plans if I am at my camp. Welcome guys (ps5 player )🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@danielhalvorsen1799]

Im playing on ps5

[@LowestHonor]

Aw no, I’m on Xbox 1.

[@steve323f]

That's very kind. I'm new, it's great to see such a non toxic community. I've started a shotgun level 20 quick start.

[@TREASUREHOUSEENTERPRISE]

The 1 time im sad i have pc

[@ichibran2600]

im on ps5

[@glowhoo9226]

Spawned in, went to the first town, and some dude gave me 86 stimpaks and a shotgun. So far every interaction I’ve had with the other players has been really friendly.

[@JHKing42]

I drop them cause they are so damn heavy

[@TheMonkeyEmperor]

5 stims 5 psychobuffs. My angels a dealer😂

[@airyshark324]

Just started a few hours ago haven’t seen anyone alos glad I haven’t lol but so far idk I think I like fallout 4 more

[@TheMonkeyEmperor]

@airyshark324 game wise I'd agree... but this one isn't breaking as much... maybe it's an Xbox thing, but Boston and nuka world don't mix at all...

[@LSDeity]

Golden rule in Fallout 76, always drip out the fresh spawns… hell my first time leaving the vault, I was gifted immediately with plans, stimpacks, and an Imposter Sheepsquatch helmet… Now I do the same.

[@Pr0vi]

I'm not new to Fallout, but I'm new to 76. Everything in this game has felt so familiar, but SO different. This video is INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you, sir. Every single tip n trick in this video was helpful for me.

[@stevekazavchinski6658]

so its kind of a single player expeirence at times right? Debating if i should finish my fallout 4 game save from 2023 (50%) in, or go here

[@Pr0vi]

@@stevekazavchinski6658 yeah it’s… kinda both. The entire game can be enjoyed solo, with friends, or with randos in the world. You get xp boosts for teaming up. I’ve been mostly questing solo but I know there are some events/dungeons/raid type things that are better w people. I just haven’t gotten that far yet. I would say dive into 76 and if you wanna revisit 4, wait til after the free update drops at the end of this month. Either way, neither game is going anywhere so there’s no wrong answer!

[@jimrustle643]

​@@stevekazavchinski6658Had it for week. Got it for free. I'm actually disappointed with it and going back to FO4

[@mrautismo420]

@@stevekazavchinski6658not good storywise at all, kinda fun to grind

[@NeardyThings]

So excited for all the new people flocking & hope they see what we love about this silly sometimes messy game 🥰

[@kawaii_gamer_core4096]

I hope it will become crossplay so I drag my friends into it

[@s41magazine37]

No cross play???

[@NeardyThings]

@@s41magazine37 there is not! My guess is server instability.

[@LowestHonor]

More people will definitely start playing after the new show. The show was genuinely made well and is very good.

[@RustyGames777]

I can’t believe I ignored it. I’ve played F3,NV and F4 but I didn’t bother with 76 but it seems damn good.

[@KSLVBornana]

I've been playing since the stress test and I'm still learning new things I'm so happy new vault dwellers are coming to Appalachia

[@Mr.Skdoodle]

Just starting today lol. Hope I gave a good experience.

[@TheGameboy57]

I seriously don't understand why I keep hearing about turning on pacifist mode. This is one of the nicest online game communities I've ever seen. I've played off and on for like a year or so (watching this vid cuz I'm rusty and need a reminder), didn't even know about the pacifist setting until last week, and have literally never had an issue. Every single player just wants to give you stuff and be friendly

[@Raad187KO]

I played this game for one day last year, been thinking about returning. The one thing I remember was a random online player in power armour landed in front of me, dropped me a gun and some clothes and then flew away like iron man 😂

[@tjson7917]

I don't either. Everyone just wants to help everybody (especially newer players) and enjoy the game. It's by far the best community I've seen for any game

[@nappary5872]

We have had 2 completely different experiences

[@TheGameboy57]

@@nappary5872 prob true, if you are referring to having a bad experience with other players, I think you are in the minority. I have played on PlayStation and Xbox and have never met someone that didn't just try to give me stuff and make my day. You are the first person ok of that has said something different from that

[@patrickjohnson5245]

I went to Wanderer for the first time and got jumped by a level 1000+ squad wearing fully decked out X-01 armor.

[@blakeseymour5]

Love the new blood in the game taking it all in for this first time! Definitely could have used something like this starting out because I was utterly clueless 😅

[@CRONKTEZ]

Slept on this game for awhile, didn’t realize i needed a casual mmo lite game. I mainly play solo and randomly run into others. I just started so there’s so much to look into.

[@Yaaacar]

I tried the game 3 years ago and wasn't into it. tried it again and got hooked massively

[@lukecorrigan5085]

Same thing happened to me, was talking to a buddy about it after trying it and not getting into it a few times then re downloaded it again and got hooked the other day

[@fluffnera]

I appreciate these tip guides because all players have a different way of approaching things so they are all helpful

[@kendrickbenbow7728]

My first time playing a random person I met built my base for me. And not a small base. The community is very helpful.

[@TEXASMRFR]

thank you for the tips mate, im just recently getting into the game and this helped wonderfully!

[@wiingspan]

Claiming the outposts as a new player is good, its gives you exp and a random plan aswell as a free fast travel to the area, I've got in the habit of doing when I login every day.

[@champion3760]

Some guy dropped me 80 stims and a fully upgraded pipe rifle lol. Named it “marksman’s gift” and I’ll keep it in my stash forever haha

[@MatchstickDaddy]

Is fallout 76 on ps5 worth it? Like is there a big enough community to make the game feel like it’s not empty?

[@ShamelessTrouble]

Yes, the servers are usually pretty full and according to many game mags, the "friendliest online community"

[@leecheezy4901]

Some days you wanna just play as a raider and kill everything and steal peoples stuff and just do wrong. Then some days you give stuff to players and help them level up and become buddies. It’s the wasteland. Only game I’ve found fun even when I was grieved or killed by a trap at someone’s vending machine.

[@Early2000sPs2games]

I’m level 40 and this is still handy

[@J3FFR3Y2XL]

When I first started playing..I really thought I would die from hunger and thirst... When I found out there was no effect.. It really killed an aspect of the game I truly enjoyed lmfao

[@DaltonParrish-t7k]

Back in the beta it used to be that way, the game felt a lot more like a survival game and I agree, it killed an aspect of it.

[@brianguichet4047]

Drink to much alchole it's a fun wtf moment

[@DerpyMcSquirtle]

Only started playing other day…lvl 5 and still confused as hell so these guides are a big help…upgraded a lot of my perk cards though and now I can’t use them 🤣

[@ThePrimebeef]

I am downloading now, I hope I meet some nice vets too to teach me the ropes!

[@Cerofane]

As an old player it's good to see new videos being made on 76

[@bob23301]

Great video, just started pkaying this today on the steam deck only to be killed twice by 2 other players, and thise bloody aliens who are roaming about..........i nearly quit and uninstalled, but now i will switch on passive mode......thank you.

[@JezebelsRevenge]

Great guide for new (or newly returning) folk - super handy and helpful! Thanks much 💜💜💜

[@bryanmontas7225]

Just downloaded ! And still learning the game after loving the tv series 🎉

[@chrisbenn]

Why is there no text chat in this game?! Wtf!?

[@italianhippie]

Great tips for all new players ... Great job mate .. should we tell them also not to be affraid if a super high Lev player run after them .. I'm just giving away rare costume lol .. so many new player gave 200+ costumes and hearwear this week .. so fun ❤

[@dazzmead007]

Excellent info TNG, it's really nice to see 76 having a boost in players and attention!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Great video!

[@Stabbyinthewasteland]

Even as a higher level player, there is always something to learn ❤ Thanks for this guide, TNG 🎉

[@leeturner6507]

Playing for the first time as we speak, so glad i found this video, i just didn’t know where to start ,not even thinking about the ability cards yet 😳 hope i meet some nice players on the way, thank you for sharing your video

[@Prototype9871]

Sadly more Xbox players the ps5 players

[@skynoceros_]

Ps players think and act smarter, then get rekt. Xbox is about the lore and achievements. Just my opinion. GGs

Game pass has it for free

[@SapphicSammy7]

They don't have cross platform?

[@Reaper78665]

yours looks like carl from aqua team hunger force lmao.

[@VelkasRevenge]

SO funny hearing all these comments from older players welcoming new players, All I hear about online is how great the community is and I have been met with like nothing less than griefing and harassment so far, players asking outrageous prices for plans, and a general lack of disrespect for me and my partner from fellas in the most insane power armor online. Don't get me wrong, we're souls players my partner and I, so I'm still having a great time it's like get invaded or attacked in Rust. Despite that we are on our way to level 50! should get there in a week or two. Would love to find a good team to play with, we are are playstation.

[@TheYorkshireDonny]

I'm about to start playing this with a friend and it'll be the first fallout I'm playing so thank you for the tips!

[@Michael-i7t6p]

Should've started with 4

[@TheYorkshireDonny]

@@Michael-i7t6p I appreciate that but is it necessary? My friend who's playing fallout 4 said it's not really needed

[@speedingpullet7400]

I've only just started FO76 and have been really impressed with how freaking nice everyone has been! There was a player near Vault 76, when I left, that literally gave me about 75 diluted stimpaks, and further down the hill on the way to the Wayward another one dropped a whole bunch of armour and basic pistols. Don't know who you were, but thank you for being kind to the Level 4 lady with the blue hair - I'll make sure to pay it forward when I can 💙

Quick question, if you get fallout 1st and get the scrap bin and then stop paying for 1st, do you still keep the fallout 1st items?

even old heads like me can learn something new.

[@Silver__bunny]

Very helpful for the little pups!!!🩷🩷 I did know about that fountain! Haha helpful for me! 😂😂

[@seendon5394]

Here's a tip for new players: Sell Fusion Cells for 1 cap each _(people rarely spend more than 1 cap per round on anything in this game)_ if you don't want them. Players like myself will buy them by the thousands because we use the Tesla Rifle for farming XP. If you reach a point where you need Stable Flux or Mutation Serums, don't spend more than 300 caps on them at player vendors and especially NPC vendors. Also, after doing Radiation Rumble [Event], sell any Glowing Blood you loot to NPCs; it's good money. Same thing with Gulper Innards looted from Moonshine Jamboree; it's one of the best ways to make money easily in the game.

[@ochosigod5417]

All because of this show I'm hooked.I even like the old music

[@kuruption21000]

is there more to 76 than just trading, collecting with other players, getting past lvl 100 to be buffed up to be able to take on the more advanced quesrs events etc?, with mp games im more of solo player that can work with whatever is given to me. I'm down to team up though yet most people in these lobbies are at their camp idling plus i got the lone wandered perk thats been serving me well but ultimately i like to have something to work towards. but again it heavily pushes that collecting and even with quests it makes you walk across the map just to do one thing then go all the way back to do another. like 3 hours on a starter quest just traveling far distances

[@Tyler-f00k1n]

Started a few days ago, ran the Tunnel of Love event and got the Burning Love compound bow....now I'm a sneaky archer

[@Xn00bertX]

can we have a video like "tips for first 5 hours"? this video is too much at once much for me

[@TNG76]

I had a feeling it may be a little long tbh

[@izeckx]

I was talking to an npc and hear another player call my name through vchat. He asked if I had a sniper rifle, because he wanted to take on some flying ships nearby. I was lvl 30 ish at the time. That started a whole series of adventures. We teamed up with 2 other randoms and about 5 hrs later I had 15 levels, a ton new gear and one hell of a good time with some people I will probably never meet again. Never have I had such a good time with random people online.

[@pornets]

New player here, i play 3 hours, and make a lotnof mistakes.. and i delete the character and start brand new, and the items i got from game pass ultimate is gone too 😂😂 its really fun

[@YacksonIsGaming]

I’m about to load in for the first time wish me luck

[@Itz_Puxe]

This video helps but I hope when I get the game and I actually vote in that I can type into a chat that I just want someone who is extremely experienced and not doing anything to teach me how to play the game if they want to😂 I do have a whole lot more then people think and it's actually helping me get better at video games. I do better when I'm watching someone while I'm also playing the game myself❤

[@Cloxys]

my biggest thing is like ammo idk how to get ammo like when i started the game auto put me at level 20 with an ar but within 2 of the story missions im out and all i have is a shotty which is also out of ammo also i struggle with absolutely picking everything up cuz i dont know what i need and what to scrap for caps and mats i put my camp at the golf course cuz i figured its a nice area and flat enough ground
