Discussion Why? Would Bethesda do this?

123 Upvotes

All I wanted from the legacy season was the O.G nuke cola collectron and that stupid golden toilet!!! I had to spend a butt load of tickets to get to the collectron and some of those went to this paint set I didnt want. Then i get up this morning to find it being sold on a 12 hour sale? Why? And if that wasn't enough. I wasn't even getting credit for the ones that I own? Why. Why would bethesda put something in seasonal legacy and just offer it, while the legacy is still going? And, not give those of us forced or not. The courtesy of deducting what we do have from the price of the offer?.

Discussion So I got trapped just now

113 Upvotes

There was a camp with a lot of 3 star items, so I thought I'd check it out.

There was a Symptomatic that released me below the surface. Then a tunnel further down. Then I fell through the floor and landed somewhere with a little amount of radiation...
And you can't fast travel while taking damage...

So I had to log out.

This is a new trap for me.

Discussion Digging up the grave by the Free Radicals camp reminded me that I sided with them all those years ago against the Wayward since none of them are hostile

I did it to get the Radicals face mask but now that Dutchess requires a disguise for ghouls I guess I really did make the right choice after all.

Discussion Nuclear Winter – A Relic of the Past

63 Upvotes

I still remember playing Nuclear Winter. It was honestly one of the best battle royale modes I have ever played. Without legendary perks, builds felt fairly balanced and the difference between Power Armor and regular armor actually mattered. Even weapon recoil played a meaningful role in combat.

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Nuclear Winter return to the game? They could even link it to your main character again, just like they did before, so you could earn XP for your regular character while playing the mode.

In fact, all uninvited enemies should be 4 stars. Three stars are mostly useless at this point.

Other Relic Reaper special property can change

25 Upvotes

I was 0 days old when I found out the special property on Relic Reaper can change. I have one that grans the Can Do perk, one that grants the Cap Collector perk and another that grants the Percepti-Bobble perk.

Just a friendly note to look at the Relic Reapers you get and don't quickly scrap or sell them.

About 6 months ago I learned my first 4 Star at about level 40. Now I'm level 400 and haven't learned another one.

How long did it take you to learn more than one 4 Star?

Discussion Bounty Hunter parade

23 Upvotes

This is insane...in the past hour I've done at LEAST 12 Head Hunts, 3 seismic activities, and 1 mischief night in a row. Each event is going so fast I can't unload my charcater without missing an event. At this point I need to create a build just for running fast and carrying alot of weight.

It would be cool for all Head Hunt locations have a Scrip Machine too. I noticed some have stash boxes so maybe all of them do

Perhaps most people might not care / already have it but after missing out and seeing it at many play camps for years wishing I’d got it - I’ve jus stumbled across the Pet Lizard Terrarium in the build menu and managed to purchase it through there?

Thought I’d highlight it just incase anyone else missed it previously!

Discussion Defeated by 2 inches of Water :-(

16 Upvotes

I have now discovered that it is possible to fall off one of the walkways in New Gad and get trapped underneath unable to either jump back out or fast travel as you are standing in water and taking damage 🙄

Did it during an Infestation and didn't want to server hop and loose the loot so the only option was suicide, but couldn't even get that right as first couple of tries my Perks and Armour kept healing me faster than I could inflict damage on myself 🙄 Think this probably tops falling in a Fissure for the stupidest way I have died in this game to date (and no the Boss loot wasn't worth it - yet another Battle Loaders Wooden Leg).

​

Three times I tried to complete a DO and three times it froze. I thought maybe my Tesla rifle was the culprit but it even froze with a fixer. Twice it froze right as the DO ended. I checked and didn't receive rewards on any of the attempts. Has this been happening to others as well?
