Just played it for the first time. I played it for like 8 hours straight last night. It’s actually super fun and way better than it was at launch. I bought the dlc and everything
DLC? Fake bot lying bout a game that feels and looks terrible. No lore except for placements. No VATS just a shitty auto aim. Terrible MTX and Subscription fee just so you don't have to manage your inventory.
@@ixinorthere’s no vats because you literally can’t just stop time for the whole server for one person to shoot, would be unfair and just wouldn’t work with the games coding, I love fallout and started on the prior games but you can’t shit on 76 just for vats, but I feel ya 76 is mainly good cause of multiplayer
Fun story: I jumped back into 76 after a few years off and my inventory was stacked with legendary gear. I forgot about the scrips machines and couldn't scrap or store them so I threw them all in a donation bin 😆 I hope whoever found them got something useful.
I redownloaded the game yesterday and went for a new character. Went from lvl 1-19 and im loving it again. I wanna do all the story content atleast but the side content is still good! Gun play def seems a lot better than before too from what i remember. Id recommend the game now that a lot of people are getting into the game or returning like me.
This is the first fallout game I've ever played. I started because I heard many people were playing and thought why not. Its...weird. I can't put it down tho. I have no clue yet in the game but have gotten used to leveling up. I made food!! And bullets. So far I'm at level 6 and haven't made it out of the top corner of the huge map. This is my current every day game for a while now.
Yeah it is good to take the beginning slow and learn what everything does. Once you get to the endgame and the farther ends of the map you will be fully prepared!
It's time to get excited, highest demand for fallout content we've ever seen, but Bethesda is super busy soooooooo... maybe they should give obsidian a shot at new Vegas 2
Played 3 & 4 but never played this one. So glad I gave this a go as it’s excellent. Only level 27 (started on 20) so still learning the ropes. Went to Golf club yesterday and caught a disease 😅
I played when it first came out, tricentennial edition and everything lol, just came back cause of the show and I'm glad I did cause this is the game I was hoping for back then, best community in gaming too, great video
The most important tip from the former newbie: DO NOT rush your progress. DO NOT accept/buy overpowered legendary weapons from friends and other players. Do not rob yourself of beautiful fallout progression and exploration experience. Once you are OP death machine, the joy of playing rapidly fades away. I made that mistake. Don't be me. Take your time and have hundreds of fun hours
$8 on Steam until April 19th. Bought it for me and my buddy, we played Fallout 4 back in the day and of course loved it, just finished the show and it was amazing made me want to play Fallout again. I sent the gift to my friend on Steam with the note "Finish the show asap and then download this game" lol Cheers! Great video :D
Fallout 76 was on sale on steam so I thought hey I will try it out , I had watched the angry Joe video and was very reluctant to purchase as it got such a bad review but in 2024 the game is rocking I'm so glad I gave it a go I have being playing it since and having a great time.
Im a returning player, played at launch got to lvl 27 and left the game, came back after watching the show and I've been absolutely hooked since! Now lvl 118 and the amount of new content, changes, quality of life and the new upcoming map expansion next month it's seriously the best time to get into the game and these vids have been a god send to help catch me up and enjoy the game!
That's the whole idea...have FUN. I just started several days ago and am having a blast. I have even gone on the web researching how to make things work in the game. And everything I get figured out makes the game more enjoyable for me. I am just taking my time and refusing to feel pressured by the expectation to level up as fast as possible.
I’m new to fallout, but never played the old fallout games, I did try fallout 4, but quickly got bored of it. Back in the day when fallout 76 launched, people said it was terrible, and I never really got it for that reason BUT today I started my first fallout 76 playthrough, thanks to the tv show. Because I’m loving this game, it’s become addicting, and wish I discovered this game way earlier because its so fun. I really love that fallout has multiplayer, makes the game even more fun with friends and strangers that help you out, it’s a really nice community I’ve heard. The game, it’s way more beginner friendly as it gives you more information than the other fallout games, and highly recommend new players to try fallout 76 or fallout 4 first.
Tried it a few times over the years but it didn’t really grab me, but starting a new character a couple of days ago and exploring Appalachia with my buds has been my favorite fallout experience so far.
Friends and squads makes it more fun i hafe fun with myself or my brothers mostly helping out new ones or events to get some scrips also fun if u and friends use different builds for teamplay especially those teambased perks or farming ammo on daily ops
It really can get overwhelming. Watch a few beginner tips on youtube and slowly enough, you will get a hang of it. So much to do in this game. Also, if your screen ias full of text from missions, you can turn those off on the data screen on your pip boy and just leave the quest you want to do.
Hi. New player here. I’m completely new to this franchise and I like that I hardly know anything about it. I’ve been looking for a new game to play and this has been so refreshing. I also have one episode left in the show to watch. Thanks for the tips! I’ll check back soon
I just bought the game today and played it for a few hours. Im enjoying it, and yes, it has something to do with the Prime series, but, I have some friends that recommend 76 opposed to 4, due to my lack of experience with Open World solo play. Its fun, and your list of starting tips is helpful for certain! I will be sticking around for the foreseeable future!
I am returning. I loved it from the beginning. I even played beta 76. I haven't played for about 3 years or more but I had life changes that uprooted me from my cave and pc troubles that are now fixed. Had several characters before at pretty high levels and I schooled the game. Love every second of it and trying to get back to the wasteland. I use to know everything like the back of my hand and it's been so long that I have forgotten so much. Trying to refresh my memory and catch up to the new updates.
Returning player from shortly after launch… level 53. Getting absolutely stomped by so many monsters and using every stimpack I have. Absolutely frustrating, but I know it is because there are new builds and changes my old character is not made to handle. That said - I felt like the game was really rewarding me for my efforts, so I’m taking the time to figure out what I need to change to enjoy it more. Looking forward to playing 76 some more.
In 2021, I played the game like I did FO4. Just doing everything solo and not joining any casual teams or even watching newbie tips. I gave up on it because I was always just surviving… then last year, I tried it again after watching some FO76 tips and tricks on youtube and discovered I was not playing it “correctly”. There’s so much info that the game wants you to discover yourself that I wouldn’t know until I watch some tips on youtube. Maybe you can do something like this too? More info means more understanding and maybe it changes the way you play.
I played it for a bit a couple years back but ended up not sticking around. After watching a streamer talk about fallout 76 while playing 4 I thought I would try it. Boy I am really enjoying this game. I just received a full set of t45 power armor and lots of fusion cores from a player with armor and more. We played a few events.
Kinda new to fallout, got into the series when FO4 went FFG back in 2018 or 2017,still haven't beaten the story, keep fallong offmafter grinding companion perks and getting into a settlement aid loop. Starting 76 for like the 3rd or 4th time now ever since launch, a lot more of a solo player oriented gamer
I played through most of the content solo as well. Totally doable. Once you find a nice location to get the valuable loot it becomes a lot less of a grind for materials.
Recommended to me by my son-in-law. Downloaded it, started my first character at level 2, and am already addicted. Love the friendliness and helpfulness of the more experienced players, as well as the fact you are rewarded for being part of even a casual team. Thankfully, I am retired so I don't have to justify the enormous amount of time I am now spending in Appalachia...
Definitely a good idea, though if you’re a fan of good stories and RPG’s and aren’t scared by older games, definitely give new Vegas a chance. I can’t recommend 3 because I haven’t played it yet , but I hear it’s great too
THE ONLY thing i wish i knew is that this game is EXTREMELY time consuming and EXTREMELY hardcore. From the very beginning you need to sort out your water, your food, your health.. stimpacks plans... food resources... cooking.. chem plans... chem resources... then to do battle you need guns, plans for guns, bullets and plans for bullets , plans for everything... these plans are not learnt simply by finding an item like it and using it or scraping it... you need to search in the game or do all or most missions or find vendors... for which it needs various... caps aren't easy to earn at the beginning... you're sick between scraping for parts and junk or selling stuff. I'm at a point where I'm level 40 from level 20 and I've done a quite few missions but it's impossibly hard to find plans, but plans, find resources, manage your ammoz fix your weapobs fix your armour. With such a small player base you're relying on the vendors to sell stuff to... for end game players it's all about legendary item farming... let me tell you that's like 10000 days away... the amount of and type of resources you need is incredible and you have to scavenge everywhere. The problem with this game is... you go from fallout 4 which was Easy in normal mode... in a sandbox single player... no need for plans.. no need to worry about health.. rads... food... water... bullets... weapons breaking... armour breaking.... where to sell various... where to find plans. I'm lost even trying to explain it all. It's no wonder all you see on servers is people with 100xxx plus levels or a few beginners. It wants you to LIVE and PLAY the game like it was real life... like apart from me sleeping... and eating for necessity... it would take 8 hours a day playing this game like a full time job to achieve a man story love... while travelling... and while managing absolutely everything else in the game. This is why it fails. You need a PHD planned for your time in the game and you need insane amounts of time to get all the things you need... forget about ROLLING RNG for legendaries like the 0.01% of played. I honestly think a lot of people cheated early in this game with buying LOTS OF CAPS from online sellers and now the eco system of the game is much smaller and infidelity harder to play it solo and even if you have caps... again... you need resources... you can't always buy everything from a vendor even if you chat and buy caps from the internet. Anyways as boring as fallout 4 is because the story is linear... I'm going to back to it...i only enjoyed VATS and gun building and fallout 76 makes both of those VERY HARD... let alone completing missions and managing resources. They shot themselves in the foot and that's why so many people turned their backs... it's wasn't the bugs in the beginning it was the fact it's too hard for almost any average game to stick at this game. Think of skyrim....oblivion... you cared about your gear and you cared about your weapons... but not really... you finished the missions and it was all about story progressing. Here in fallout 76 they tried to make it a pvp And pVe but they over estimated how hardcore the game is for the casual game player. Another big problem is all the different areas of the map require you to be levelled up differently and with protection... which is fair but also disheartening for a causal player that will never get to n do the nuke the scortched quest ... let alone kill the Queen. Only way you can do those is if you have very good armour and very good weapons. And lots of AMMO to waste. I posted fallout 76 on ps4 when it first came out but i hated it for the same reasons in hating it for now. I'm happy fallout 4 is getting a graphics upgrade this month so i can go back to finishing the story there. I might get on fallout 76 for a few minutes each day to collect my food and water but I'm totally defeated how hard it is to get through it. After all that rant if anyone wants to team up or help... i might stick at it. You can feel free to add me if you're on PC my dweller is "ovidox"
I think you are right about the intense grind drop off as you reach the higher levels. Once you get a nice piece of power armor and a really good legendary it starts to get easier to get loot. I’m currently over level 400 and I didn’t have to worry about looking for resources since I was like 150+. This game is definitely more of a survival game like valheim, Palworld where you need a steady supply of materials to keep going
All I have to say to you is Ultracite power armor Gatling laser or Ultracite Gatling laser Fusion cores Legendary perk that charges cores in power armor while being shot by energy weapons . Use your cores for your Gatling laser till at 10 rounds switch cores. When you need more charge in the cores simply go to wataga bait a bot to your tent you set by the tracks and put in the low cores in your power armor , stand let the bot charge it , repeat till all charges . You essentially have unlimited ammo and cores , no more scraping or scavenging for mats for bullets keep caps and keep junk for repairs .
@@Nickaroo93 I'M on computer.. I'm on PC now i used to have it on ps4 when it first came out. Add me: "Ovidox ". What's yours? I am only level 48 ... i only started again over the weekend. I'm not rushing the story but i can see the writing on the wall long term. Thanks to your tips... I'll keep them in mind. Please add me thank you so much mate! And what's yours? "ovidox"
You can get a lot of plans by playing events, daily ops, etc.. you don't actually need plans for weapons and don't need to craft them, that's frankly kind of a waste of time, I made that mistake too for a long time. You also don't need plans for ammo, and you don't need cosmetic plans for your camp to have a good time. Kill legendary enemies and collect their gear. Scrap the legendary gear you don't need/like, and keep any that's good or remotely good. If you have enough legendary scrap, you can just roll until you get a good legendary effects on the weapon you want. You get so many Power Armors for free in the game. Enemies drop ammo for whatever weapon you are using, just use the one you want and you'll likely be fine. You can find OP weapons on sale at people's camps, I have found some of the best ones I own there. You also find a lot of player vendors who sell plans at 10 caps a piece regardless of what they are. You can max out caps by daily selling to the vendor, I have a camp with water pumps that produce purified water, I continually collect it, then sell it. I make minimum 1400 caps any day I play. In 10 days, that's 14,000. I don't play every day, I play very seldom. That's not counting what I sell to players, I usually just sell everything for cheap but I still get people who buy items. You can get very good rewards for completing the BoS quest, the main quest, and the Vault 79 quest, I really recommend those. One of the most underrated things about 76 is how all weapon build types are viable and strong if built decently well. You don't need to be some crazy build, mine is very lazy. I use melee because it's simple, and a crippling Gatling gun as my only firearm because it's great for tagging enemies during events and never runs out of ammo. The chainsaw is free to find in the game map, scrap a couple until you unlock dual bar, then add a flame mod and you are already very strong. Add a couple perk cards for increased melee, add agility, and the legendary perk cards for recharging power armor, and never leave your power armor again. Just run and chainsaw everything you see, and cripple/tag with the Gatling gun. You need to join any events you see players in, it's free XP and free rewards. Scorched earth is easily the best, I do recommend power armor even the worst armor is enough, and a weapon you can easily tag enemies with. The 2nd best event is probably the foundation event with super mutants, you get absurd amounts of legendary gear. Scrap all you don't need, keep anything you like and try it out. You can change the legendary effects any time, and you acquire so much legendary scrap in no time. Water and food are so easy to come by, I always have too much. Make sure your intelligence is high, you level up very quickly. Always join a casual team for more intelligence, and get the perk under charisma that adds more XP if you're in a team. With that you level up very quick, the other day I leveled from 83 to 87 all during 1 single scorched earth event. Likely possible because of all the things I did to maximize XP and because a couple of my team mates used lunchboxes. I also was firing my Gatling gun non stop and tagging every single enemy that moved, but it goes to show how easy it can be to cheese the game at some times. It is definitely grindy, but it also has ways to bypass some of the grind entirely. You don't need to be level 5000, I have a lot of fun just playing casually, I recommend the chainsaw and/or auto axe especially. Theres videos on YT and guides online explaining how to get chainsaws and how to stack a chainsaw build, very easy to get going in just 1-2 hours of your time to organize everything. You'll never need ammo again, and with the right perks you'll never even need to repair it either.
My friends and I tried it a couple years ago and we stopped playing pretty quick. Gonna give it another try even though I sadly can't convince them to join me
I have played fallout 4 new Vegas and fallout 3 multiple times but never tried fallout 76 cuz of the bad reviews at launch but the show made me want to give it a try plus with it being 4 years old I’m sure it has lots of content now compared to launch
I got it at launch and it was horrifying, but I returned for a look after loving on the show and now I love 76, because it feels great to play now and I don't see any of the issues it had in the past. The big issue is that I've almost filled my storage and I'm only lvl 16 so I'm not sure whether to continue, because it'd mean getting fallout 1st.
lol. So at a very beginning, when he’s talking about the resurgence, I swear it sounds like he says that it beat it all time high four concurrent players, I realize he’s not saying that, but it really sounded that way and I got a big laugh out of it.
Yoooo nick idk if you’ll remember but we used to play Fortnite way back when fallout 76 was first released with Dustin and everyone! Glad you’re sticking with the videos man keep it up!
@@Nickaroo93 yessir!!! All is well on this side man! Definitely some great times back then! I’m on fallout 76 every now and then so if you’re ever looking for someone to roam the wasteland with just hmu!
Nicest community pretty much every person I’ve come across has waved hello then followed with stim packs, radaway and ammo/water. I’m lv17 now and was trying a shotgun build due to the insane amount of ammo drops from mobs. I was so excited seeing companions in peoples camps I thought they would be npcs to help me on my quests😂so far I heard there just shop npcs
I'm gonna re play fallout 4 just to get the basics back in. It's been quite sometime sense I last played fallout. And fallout 4 is a good fresher for the controls
Damn bro I redownloaded the game yesterday since I finished the show & was feining for more content: I made an account when the game came out & stop playing it cuz of the state in it as in. Fast forward to today everything is new to me & that account ended up turning to a nice investment
Yeah that definitely seems the case for a lot of people. With the game as it is now you can easily sink in 100 hours of content before you run out of things to do. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far
Returning player here, played during released and was caught up in all the dev room shinanagains. Love to see that the game has moved on from pvpers contesting low levels and general trolls and into a more "heres a starters kit enjoy your time" type community
Im so lost. Im level 290 and just jumping back in after 3 years. No memory of mechanics, daily grind, etc. have a badass camp and am completely kitted out, just literally cant remember anything and completely overwhelmed. May start a new character?
I'm a first time player, i am only playing because it's free on steam for a few days and there is a sale of 11$ right now. I'll play for free then decide if i wanna buy it with it on sale. I loved fallout 4 but for some reason i thought this game was like elders scroll online where it's a monthly subscription to play.
Yeah definitely free to play and you definitely don't feel like you need to subscribe to get a full experience. There is quite a bit of content to go through and for $11 that's a great deal. Free on twitch prime gaming if you have a subscription though!
New player about a year now but they have me hooked. Soooo much fun and great stuff to get earn and alot of things to do. Only played new Vegas in past and was like eh after couple hours but this now oh yes it's leaving a great taste in my mouth. Even atom shop as greedy as it is I love it too you money grabbing company lol but hey some things are amazing and worth buys and or fun to have and great to have. Great game now idk how it was but it's amazing to me
Had it downloading over night last night woke up at 4am this morning to play it for the first time and now it's 1:30 and work is forcing me to have to stop might call in sick. I should have bought this game forever ago I've been playing fallout since I was 8 and just never got this one
Glad you are enjoying your time! You probably wouldn't have liked the issues at launch, so at least you're giving it a shot now when its in a great place
Hey man this is a long shot but if you’re on PC if you ever got time and wanna help a new player out (I’m like level 24, haven’t played in a long time) let me know since I have a hard time getting ammo and stay on top with resources.
I wish the survival elements were in fallout 4 without locking saves and fast travel. The high level gunplay of 76 is just silly. I wish more developers would add a realism mode like tsushima did. Fallout would be perfect for it
Yeah I definitely think something like that would split the player base, but definitely think it is worth a try. Maybe a hardcore survival server that you must make a new character on and only for that server.
@@Nickaroo93 exactly what I did. I didn't realize with 1st I could customize damage done and received. I put them both on high and I do like it better. Miss people but not that much. My house got nuked the last time I played public
i reopened my lvl 84 account and my stash box is full. i just have no interest in playing this if they’re going to limit how much stuff I can have? I mean who doesn’t horde in fallout
Heh I had just come back and then found out a show was month away. Now I'm surrounded. Lol fun. Game still needs work, especially interfaces and other stuff. Items also very buggy. In otherwise, its just like earlier. Lol
I was a level 50 or so after playing a few months after launch but haven’t played in years. Don’t know if I should restart with a new character or pick up where I left off. What do y’all think?
If you start over you can start a level 20 to get a boost up, but honestly if you like your build at level 50 you could start refining it with the legendary perks/new armor sets etc.
I like it but im honestly starting get burnt out again. No matter how many events and missions i dont have much weapon plans or armor plans and when you go to vendor's it doesn't explain what the gun in the plans look like or what it does. Im not gonna remember what every guns name is. And when i search YT for video for help with mods for guns and people just say "collet extra guns to get mods" and i have gotten 0 so far. Its just an overwhelming game and now with a season pass i feel more pressure to want to keep up with current players
Just started playing again about 2 days ago. I usually play sniper but now im playing gunslinger... Im just worried it wont hold up "endgame" im not not one to grind like crazy for perfect gear. Im level 20 starting from 1. Anyone have thoughts on casual gunslinger for tough endgame stuff...
I want to try out fallout 76 again. Still i do not know 99% of the game. I dit pay full price when it got released, dit play a month and switch back to fallout 4. Came back 1 ore 2 times a year and quit bq the divicult system. Fallout 76 is not that empty as in the start , still if you do not know how it works it feels empty. The story line is get to the wayward, and where next ??????? For the cards the look nice, and collect them is fun. Is there a mini game that u can play, if you collect them all? I dit not build in fallout 4. So where is the brotherhood of steel for a bed, power armor and fun quests ?
I really hated fallout 76 when it came out. I actually got a refund cause i never opened the game. But many years later i found it at GameStop and the employee didn't want me to buy it. But i was tempted cause the game was $2 dollars so i was like why not. I still hate the game. Cause i keep getting kicked off for no reason from time to time, But i like the co-op nice 👍🏽 and they should make fallout games multiplayer like this or like borderlands. It makes fallout more fun.
Amazon prime is not giving steam codes. All the numbers are people that purchased via steam or had the game already. We don’t know how big the Xbox store numbers are
Just played it for the first time. I played it for like 8 hours straight last night. It’s actually super fun and way better than it was at launch. I bought the dlc and everything
What dlc? The only thing I've seen to buy are the cosmetic items from Atlantic City.
Glad you’re enjoying it! It definitely feels like a full experience now. Not sure what dlc you bought, but hope you stick around :)
@@robbie6625 Thats what they meant
DLC? Fake bot lying bout a game that feels and looks terrible. No lore except for placements. No VATS just a shitty auto aim. Terrible MTX and Subscription fee just so you don't have to manage your inventory.
@@ixinorthere’s no vats because you literally can’t just stop time for the whole server for one person to shoot, would be unfair and just wouldn’t work with the games coding, I love fallout and started on the prior games but you can’t shit on 76 just for vats, but I feel ya 76 is mainly good cause of multiplayer
Fun story: I jumped back into 76 after a few years off and my inventory was stacked with legendary gear. I forgot about the scrips machines and couldn't scrap or store them so I threw them all in a donation bin 😆 I hope whoever found them got something useful.
I redownloaded the game yesterday and went for a new character. Went from lvl 1-19 and im loving it again. I wanna do all the story content atleast but the side content is still good! Gun play def seems a lot better than before too from what i remember. Id recommend the game now that a lot of people are getting into the game or returning like me.
Besides the exploration... The most surprising thing has most certainly been how nice the community is. Thanks for having us.

Yeah it is good to take the beginning slow and learn what everything does. Once you get to the endgame and the farther ends of the map you will be fully prepared!
I remember playing fallout 3 and new Vegas. The Fallout franchise just had it's best resurgence yet.
It's time to get excited, highest demand for fallout content we've ever seen, but Bethesda is super busy soooooooo... maybe they should give obsidian a shot at new Vegas 2
I started in late January of this year with help of the community and a buddy been smooth sailing...love it
Glad to hear it! Once you “get” the gameplay loop it is a really enjoyable experience. What build are you running?
Played 3 & 4 but never played this one. So glad I gave this a go as it’s excellent. Only level 27 (started on 20) so still learning the ropes. Went to Golf club yesterday and caught a disease 😅
Tip: there's a pagoda in the golf area where you take a drink to cure any and all diseases.
I played when it first came out, tricentennial edition and everything lol, just came back cause of the show and I'm glad I did cause this is the game I was hoping for back then, best community in gaming too, great video
Thanks for watching! Yeah the show really made me want to start a new character and experience all the new things again!

Do not rob yourself of beautiful fallout progression and exploration experience. Once you are OP death machine, the joy of playing rapidly fades away. I made that mistake. Don't be me. Take your time and have hundreds of fun hours
YES. Once you get to the middle of the map it gets difficult QUICK if not prepared.
Can I take your loot off your hands then since you don't want it?
@@Nickaroo93that’s where I’m at 😂 I noticed that the gun fights are getting crazy , had me using buffout and spamming stimmyies 😂 great game

Tried it a few times over the years but it didn’t really grab me, but starting a new character a couple of days ago and exploring Appalachia with my buds has been my favorite fallout experience so far.
Friends and squads makes it more fun i hafe fun with myself or my brothers mostly helping out new ones or events to get some scrips also fun if u and friends use different builds for teamplay especially those teambased perks or farming ammo on daily ops
Get someone to craft you an excavator power armor.. modded it gives you around 450 carry weight. Once you have the excavator HAPPY JUNKING!
blownnnn away with this game,been trying on pc and ps5, ps5 its sooo smooth
Just came back from went from lvl 726 to 727, it feels great feeling like a lost child not knowing what to expect from the new content!
Im new to this game I just started yesterday and I’m so overwhelmed
It really can get overwhelming. Watch a few beginner tips on youtube and slowly enough, you will get a hang of it. So much to do in this game. Also, if your screen ias full of text from missions, you can turn those off on the data screen on your pip boy and just leave the quest you want to do.
Hi. New player here. I’m completely new to this franchise and I like that I hardly know anything about it. I’ve been looking for a new game to play and this has been so refreshing. I also have one episode left in the show to watch. Thanks for the tips! I’ll check back soon
I hope you enjoy your time! Be sure to let me know how the journey is going :D
I would LOVE to see a video for advice to returning players. Seems like a ton of content was added since I left.
First Fallout Game! I'm a big fan of mmos and fps so this game really appealed to me
Hope you stick around, definitely has the grind feel of MMOs when you get to max level and want to min max your gear
I just bought the game today and played it for a few hours. Im enjoying it, and yes, it has something to do with the Prime series, but, I have some friends that recommend 76 opposed to 4, due to my lack of experience with Open World solo play. Its fun, and your list of starting tips is helpful for certain! I will be sticking around for the foreseeable future!
I am returning. I loved it from the beginning. I even played beta 76. I haven't played for about 3 years or more but I had life changes that uprooted me from my cave and pc troubles that are now fixed. Had several characters before at pretty high levels and I schooled the game. Love every second of it and trying to get back to the wasteland. I use to know everything like the back of my hand and it's been so long that I have forgotten so much. Trying to refresh my memory and catch up to the new updates.
Returning player from shortly after launch… level 53.
Getting absolutely stomped by so many monsters and using every stimpack I have. Absolutely frustrating, but I know it is because there are new builds and changes my old character is not made to handle.
That said - I felt like the game was really rewarding me for my efforts, so I’m taking the time to figure out what I need to change to enjoy it more.
Looking forward to playing 76 some more.
In 2021, I played the game like I did FO4. Just doing everything solo and not joining any casual teams or even watching newbie tips. I gave up on it because I was always just surviving… then last year, I tried it again after watching some FO76 tips and tricks on youtube and discovered I was not playing it “correctly”. There’s so much info that the game wants you to discover yourself that I wouldn’t know until I watch some tips on youtube. Maybe you can do something like this too? More info means more understanding and maybe it changes the way you play.
I played it for a bit a couple years back but ended up not sticking around.
After watching a streamer talk about fallout 76 while playing 4 I thought I would try it. Boy I am really enjoying this game.
I just received a full set of t45 power armor and lots of fusion cores from a player with armor and more. We played a few events.
Kinda new to fallout, got into the series when FO4 went FFG back in 2018 or 2017,still haven't beaten the story, keep fallong offmafter grinding companion perks and getting into a settlement aid loop. Starting 76 for like the 3rd or 4th time now ever since launch, a lot more of a solo player oriented gamer
I played through most of the content solo as well. Totally doable. Once you find a nice location to get the valuable loot it becomes a lot less of a grind for materials.
I haven't played since 2019 and was on my xbox, so it's been a hot minute
I think they are coming out with a patch for better performance on consoles if it hasn't happened already!
Recommended to me by my son-in-law. Downloaded it, started my first character at level 2, and am already addicted. Love the friendliness and helpfulness of the more experienced players, as well as the fact you are rewarded for being part of even a casual team. Thankfully, I am retired so I don't have to justify the enormous amount of time I am now spending in Appalachia...
How is your adventure going
Jumped back in after hating on it in the beginning and the in game community has been the best! Appreciate the tips!
I played a little bit when it first came out on ps plus but with the show it made me want to come back
SAAAAAME
Absolutely new to fallout, I’m currently playing fallout 4, before i jump in to 76👍
Definitely a good idea, though if you’re a fan of good stories and RPG’s and aren’t scared by older games, definitely give new Vegas a chance.
I can’t recommend 3 because I haven’t played it yet , but I hear it’s great too
THE ONLY thing i wish i knew is that this game is EXTREMELY time consuming and EXTREMELY hardcore. From the very beginning you need to sort out your water, your food, your health.. stimpacks plans... food resources... cooking.. chem plans... chem resources... then to do battle you need guns, plans for guns, bullets and plans for bullets , plans for everything... these plans are not learnt simply by finding an item like it and using it or scraping it... you need to search in the game or do all or most missions or find vendors... for which it needs various... caps aren't easy to earn at the beginning... you're sick between scraping for parts and junk or selling stuff.
I'm at a point where I'm level 40 from level 20 and I've done a quite few missions but it's impossibly hard to find plans, but plans, find resources, manage your ammoz fix your weapobs fix your armour.
With such a small player base you're relying on the vendors to sell stuff to... for end game players it's all about legendary item farming... let me tell you that's like 10000 days away... the amount of and type of resources you need is incredible and you have to scavenge everywhere.
The problem with this game is... you go from fallout 4 which was Easy in normal mode... in a sandbox single player... no need for plans.. no need to worry about health.. rads... food... water... bullets... weapons breaking... armour breaking.... where to sell various... where to find plans. I'm lost even trying to explain it all. It's no wonder all you see on servers is people with 100xxx plus levels or a few beginners. It wants you to LIVE and PLAY the game like it was real life... like apart from me sleeping... and eating for necessity... it would take 8 hours a day playing this game like a full time job to achieve a man story love... while travelling... and while managing absolutely everything else in the game. This is why it fails.
You need a PHD planned for your time in the game and you need insane amounts of time to get all the things you need... forget about ROLLING RNG for legendaries like the 0.01% of played. I honestly think a lot of people cheated early in this game with buying LOTS OF CAPS from online sellers and now the eco system of the game is much smaller and infidelity harder to play it solo and even if you have caps... again... you need resources... you can't always buy everything from a vendor even if you chat and buy caps from the internet. Anyways as boring as fallout 4 is because the story is linear... I'm going to back to it...i only enjoyed VATS and gun building and fallout 76 makes both of those VERY HARD... let alone completing missions and managing resources. They shot themselves in the foot and that's why so many people turned their backs... it's wasn't the bugs in the beginning it was the fact it's too hard for almost any average game to stick at this game.
Think of skyrim....oblivion... you cared about your gear and you cared about your weapons... but not really... you finished the missions and it was all about story progressing. Here in fallout 76 they tried to make it a pvp And pVe but they over estimated how hardcore the game is for the casual game player. Another big problem is all the different areas of the map require you to be levelled up differently and with protection... which is fair but also disheartening for a causal player that will never get to n do the nuke the scortched quest ... let alone kill the Queen. Only way you can do those is if you have very good armour and very good weapons. And lots of AMMO to waste. I posted fallout 76 on ps4 when it first came out but i hated it for the same reasons in hating it for now.
I'm happy fallout 4 is getting a graphics upgrade this month so i can go back to finishing the story there. I might get on fallout 76 for a few minutes each day to collect my food and water but I'm totally defeated how hard it is to get through it.
After all that rant if anyone wants to team up or help... i might stick at it. You can feel free to add me if you're on PC my dweller is "ovidox"
I think you are right about the intense grind drop off as you reach the higher levels. Once you get a nice piece of power armor and a really good legendary it starts to get easier to get loot. I’m currently over level 400 and I didn’t have to worry about looking for resources since I was like 150+. This game is definitely more of a survival game like valheim, Palworld where you need a steady supply of materials to keep going
Unfortunately I’m on PC or I would totally help out :)
All I have to say to you is
Ultracite power armor
Gatling laser or Ultracite Gatling laser
Fusion cores
Legendary perk that charges cores in power armor while being shot by energy weapons .
Use your cores for your Gatling laser till at 10 rounds switch cores. When you need more charge in the cores simply go to wataga bait a bot to your tent you set by the tracks and put in the low cores in your power armor , stand let the bot charge it , repeat till all charges . You essentially have unlimited ammo and cores , no more scraping or scavenging for mats for bullets keep caps and keep junk for repairs .
@@Nickaroo93 I'M on computer.. I'm on PC now i used to have it on ps4 when it first came out. Add me:
"Ovidox ". What's yours?
I am only level 48 ... i only started again over the weekend. I'm not rushing the story but i can see the writing on the wall long term. Thanks to your tips... I'll keep them in mind. Please add me thank you so much mate! And what's yours?
"ovidox"
You can get a lot of plans by playing events, daily ops, etc.. you don't actually need plans for weapons and don't need to craft them, that's frankly kind of a waste of time, I made that mistake too for a long time. You also don't need plans for ammo, and you don't need cosmetic plans for your camp to have a good time.
Kill legendary enemies and collect their gear. Scrap the legendary gear you don't need/like, and keep any that's good or remotely good. If you have enough legendary scrap, you can just roll until you get a good legendary effects on the weapon you want. You get so many Power Armors for free in the game. Enemies drop ammo for whatever weapon you are using, just use the one you want and you'll likely be fine. You can find OP weapons on sale at people's camps, I have found some of the best ones I own there. You also find a lot of player vendors who sell plans at 10 caps a piece regardless of what they are. You can max out caps by daily selling to the vendor, I have a camp with water pumps that produce purified water, I continually collect it, then sell it. I make minimum 1400 caps any day I play. In 10 days, that's 14,000. I don't play every day, I play very seldom. That's not counting what I sell to players, I usually just sell everything for cheap but I still get people who buy items. You can get very good rewards for completing the BoS quest, the main quest, and the Vault 79 quest, I really recommend those.
One of the most underrated things about 76 is how all weapon build types are viable and strong if built decently well. You don't need to be some crazy build, mine is very lazy. I use melee because it's simple, and a crippling Gatling gun as my only firearm because it's great for tagging enemies during events and never runs out of ammo. The chainsaw is free to find in the game map, scrap a couple until you unlock dual bar, then add a flame mod and you are already very strong. Add a couple perk cards for increased melee, add agility, and the legendary perk cards for recharging power armor, and never leave your power armor again. Just run and chainsaw everything you see, and cripple/tag with the Gatling gun.
You need to join any events you see players in, it's free XP and free rewards. Scorched earth is easily the best, I do recommend power armor even the worst armor is enough, and a weapon you can easily tag enemies with. The 2nd best event is probably the foundation event with super mutants, you get absurd amounts of legendary gear. Scrap all you don't need, keep anything you like and try it out. You can change the legendary effects any time, and you acquire so much legendary scrap in no time. Water and food are so easy to come by, I always have too much. Make sure your intelligence is high, you level up very quickly. Always join a casual team for more intelligence, and get the perk under charisma that adds more XP if you're in a team. With that you level up very quick, the other day I leveled from 83 to 87 all during 1 single scorched earth event. Likely possible because of all the things I did to maximize XP and because a couple of my team mates used lunchboxes. I also was firing my Gatling gun non stop and tagging every single enemy that moved, but it goes to show how easy it can be to cheese the game at some times. It is definitely grindy, but it also has ways to bypass some of the grind entirely. You don't need to be level 5000, I have a lot of fun just playing casually, I recommend the chainsaw and/or auto axe especially. Theres videos on YT and guides online explaining how to get chainsaws and how to stack a chainsaw build, very easy to get going in just 1-2 hours of your time to organize everything. You'll never need ammo again, and with the right perks you'll never even need to repair it either.
My friends and I tried it a couple years ago and we stopped playing pretty quick. Gonna give it another try even though I sadly can't convince them to join me
Add me on pc. heetee94, got a couple of buddies playing too but we’re casual gamers. No one’s level 50 yet. Will be nice playing with other peeps.
HATED it for years, recently went back to try it and i love it! Started the whole thing again.
I have played fallout 4 new Vegas and fallout 3 multiple times but never tried fallout 76 cuz of the bad reviews at launch but the show made me want to give it a try plus with it being 4 years old I’m sure it has lots of content now compared to launch
It has a lot for sure. Even if you don’t want to do the end game grinding the quests alone will get you like 60 hours of content!
Redownloaded last week after 4 1/2 years away. Having a blast! If you're on the fence, just give it a try. I promise it is SO much better...!
I started playing F76 September 2023 I can't get enough of it
had it since launch, but just never gave it a shot cuz of bad reviews, installing now
Hope you enjoy it! Trust it gets so much better once you get to the higher levels
I got it at launch and it was horrifying, but I returned for a look after loving on the show and now I love 76, because it feels great to play now and I don't see any of the issues it had in the past. The big issue is that I've almost filled my storage and I'm only lvl 16 so I'm not sure whether to continue, because it'd mean getting fallout 1st.
lol. So at a very beginning, when he’s talking about the resurgence, I swear it sounds like he says that it beat it all time high four concurrent players, I realize he’s not saying that, but it really sounded that way and I got a big laugh out of it.
After listening again I can see what you mean LOL
Yoooo nick idk if you’ll remember but we used to play Fortnite way back when fallout 76 was first released with Dustin and everyone! Glad you’re sticking with the videos man keep it up!
BROO LUCKY! Of course I remember, had a blast back in the day hope all is well with you!
@@Nickaroo93 yessir!!! All is well on this side man! Definitely some great times back then! I’m on fallout 76 every now and then so if you’re ever looking for someone to roam the wasteland with just hmu!
Nicest community pretty much every person I’ve come across has waved hello then followed with stim packs, radaway and ammo/water. I’m lv17 now and was trying a shotgun build due to the insane amount of ammo drops from mobs. I was so excited seeing companions in peoples camps I thought they would be npcs to help me on my quests😂so far I heard there just shop npcs
Take the scrapper perk early as possible.
Yes, great tip that will probably make it into a follow up vid :)
I'm glad I gave it a second chance. It's leaps and bounds better now than it was in 2019
I'm gonna re play fallout 4 just to get the basics back in. It's been quite sometime sense I last played fallout. And fallout 4 is a good fresher for the controls
Damn bro I redownloaded the game yesterday since I finished the show & was feining for more content: I made an account when the game came out & stop playing it cuz of the state in it as in. Fast forward to today everything is new to me & that account ended up turning to a nice investment
Yeah that definitely seems the case for a lot of people. With the game as it is now you can easily sink in 100 hours of content before you run out of things to do. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far
Pre ordered this game when it came out and stopped playing it a month after. So I’m excited to re download this game again. 🎉🎉
You missed the most important tip. Pic up every single screw you can find they like gold
Good content, but your audio is quite "low". Try to adjust, because I'm following you 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! It sounds good on my ends but I know that many people have different types of headphones. Will adjust for next video :D
@Nickaroo93 it sounds fine in my Stealth 700s but the voice does sound bitcrushed (mildly). Actually kinda enjoy it
I'm returning, and I reset my player to LV1 to give it a fresh go, and so far, I'm glad I did it.
I did the same! Started level one and currently in my 30s. I realized how many side quests I completely forgot about
No way Im resetting my lvl 970 character lol... 1000 hours down the drain if so.
The show was so good I watched two episodes and started playing fallout 3
Returning player here, played during released and was caught up in all the dev room shinanagains.
Love to see that the game has moved on from pvpers contesting low levels and general trolls and into a more "heres a starters kit enjoy your time" type community
Great video🎉🎉🎉. Thanks for speaking clearly😂🎉🎉❤
Im so lost. Im level 290 and just jumping back in after 3 years. No memory of mechanics, daily grind, etc. have a badass camp and am completely kitted out, just literally cant remember anything and completely overwhelmed. May start a new character?
I'm a first time player, i am only playing because it's free on steam for a few days and there is a sale of 11$ right now. I'll play for free then decide if i wanna buy it with it on sale. I loved fallout 4 but for some reason i thought this game was like elders scroll online where it's a monthly subscription to play.
Yeah definitely free to play and you definitely don't feel like you need to subscribe to get a full experience. There is quite a bit of content to go through and for $11 that's a great deal. Free on twitch prime gaming if you have a subscription though!
New player here that only played F2 and F3... It felt more like Skyrim with a Fallout skin 😅
New player about a year now but they have me hooked. Soooo much fun and great stuff to get earn and alot of things to do. Only played new Vegas in past and was like eh after couple hours but this now oh yes it's leaving a great taste in my mouth. Even atom shop as greedy as it is I love it too you money grabbing company lol but hey some things are amazing and worth buys and or fun to have and great to have. Great game now idk how it was but it's amazing to me
Had it downloading over night last night woke up at 4am this morning to play it for the first time and now it's 1:30 and work is forcing me to have to stop might call in sick. I should have bought this game forever ago I've been playing fallout since I was 8 and just never got this one
That wasn't supposed to be a timestamp that was supposed to be what time it is where I live
Glad you are enjoying your time! You probably wouldn't have liked the issues at launch, so at least you're giving it a shot now when its in a great place
@@Nickaroo93 well it is a Bethesda game so as a general rule I give it a year or so then hope it is playable
Hey man this is a long shot but if you’re on PC if you ever got time and wanna help a new player out (I’m like level 24, haven’t played in a long time) let me know since I have a hard time getting ammo and stay on top with resources.
Would be happy to! lemme know the username and I'll see what I can do
Got it for free years back not played ever. Jumped back in holy hell love it
downloading right now :D
HELL YEAH!
I was there for the NMS player boom. I'm here for the TV show boom. I feel like an anchovy from SpongeBob.
I joined NMS a little after the boom and it was a lot of fun!
I’m finishing up tomb raider 2, but I think I might jump in.
I wish the survival elements were in fallout 4 without locking saves and fast travel.
The high level gunplay of 76 is just silly. I wish more developers would add a realism mode like tsushima did. Fallout would be perfect for it
Yeah I definitely think something like that would split the player base, but definitely think it is worth a try. Maybe a hardcore survival server that you must make a new character on and only for that server.
@@Nickaroo93 exactly what I did. I didn't realize with 1st I could customize damage done and received. I put them both on high and I do like it better. Miss people but not that much. My house got nuked the last time I played public
i reopened my lvl 84 account and my stash box is full. i just have no interest in playing this if they’re going to limit how much stuff I can have? I mean who doesn’t horde in fallout
Heh I had just come back and then found out a show was month away. Now I'm surrounded. Lol fun.
Game still needs work, especially interfaces and other stuff. Items also very buggy. In otherwise, its just like earlier. Lol
I was a level 50 or so after playing a few months after launch but haven’t played in years. Don’t know if I should restart with a new character or pick up where I left off. What do y’all think?
If you start over you can start a level 20 to get a boost up, but honestly if you like your build at level 50 you could start refining it with the legendary perks/new armor sets etc.
You’re always able to change your perks
I want enclave cosmetics but cant find them in the store. I only saw a pack of buildings to build
There are a few, but without spoiling do some quests :)
I re downloaded and started playing and looks like most of my atom shop items are missing... Uninstalled and went back to fallout 4.
That’s really weird. Did you originally have it on the Bethesda launcher(assuming you are on pc). That can be my only guess
first time i played a dude casually gave me 3 power armors and a sniper rifle although i couldnt use them they are stored in my stash XD
76 vault dwellers are just different lol
Nice video, thanks!
Currently downloading looking for tips never played the series
I think you will really enjoy it! Trust me it gets so much more fun once you get to max level and figure out what build you are going for
fallout season 2 confirmed baby
I like it but im honestly starting get burnt out again. No matter how many events and missions i dont have much weapon plans or armor plans and when you go to vendor's it doesn't explain what the gun in the plans look like or what it does. Im not gonna remember what every guns name is. And when i search YT for video for help with mods for guns and people just say "collet extra guns to get mods" and i have gotten 0 so far. Its just an overwhelming game and now with a season pass i feel more pressure to want to keep up with current players
Whats up with your map UI? The vendors and recourses marked?
In the intro did you say "four" concurrent players? I might be missing a joke but that is way off
Playing rn ;)
😁😁😁😁 Thank you 2024
Just started playing again about 2 days ago. I usually play sniper but now im playing gunslinger... Im just worried it wont hold up "endgame" im not not one to grind like crazy for perfect gear. Im level 20 starting from 1. Anyone have thoughts on casual gunslinger for tough endgame stuff...
TBF there is no true META for the end game, its all about killing stuff fast. Only way I could see you suffering is trying to solo yolo everything
How do you have the resources and things shown on your map?
How to repair lags and frames?
You have to drop your power armor next to a power armor work bench and click the button to modify/repair
Yeah i refunded this when it came out cus unfinished mess. Now its pretty fun
Definitely will be dumping materials and healing stuff...I heal almost entirely with Nuka Colas
how is that his hud??? can i get it too? its so cool!!!
I want to try out fallout 76 again. Still i do not know 99% of the game. I dit pay full price when it got released, dit play a month and switch back to fallout 4. Came back 1 ore 2 times a year and quit bq the divicult system.
Fallout 76 is not that empty as in the start , still if you do not know how it works it feels empty.
The story line is get to the wayward, and where next ???????
For the cards the look nice, and collect them is fun. Is there a mini game that u can play, if you collect them all?
I dit not build in fallout 4. So where is the brotherhood of steel for a bed, power armor and fun quests ?
I really hated fallout 76 when it came out. I actually got a refund cause i never opened the game. But many years later i found it at GameStop and the employee didn't want me to buy it. But i was tempted cause the game was $2 dollars so i was like why not. I still hate the game. Cause i keep getting kicked off for no reason from time to time, But i like the co-op nice 👍🏽 and they should make fallout games multiplayer like this or like borderlands. It makes fallout more fun.
Lol hey that’s where my camp is
Failed to say - its part of Gamepass, all fallout games are!
is this still running on 30 Fps?
I think on ps4/5 yes but there is a patch coming
How do I build a door for my camp it doesn’t work 😢😢😢
Tons of great building videos. Just google building camps and shelters and you will be rewarded with a plethora of great tips and ideas.
It's 7 bucks on green man,
why do people enjoy having so much radiation and so little health?
It’s essential for a certain build
4 concurrent players ? That sounds pretty dead to me 🤪🤪
Fallout 4 > fallout 76. Waiting for fallout 5
Played it - still has MTX and subscription. Terrible. Even a dumb private renting service.
PLEASE USE RAD AWAYYY
my build needs me to be at 20% health :p
Players peaked because Amazon Prime is giving away Fallout 76 for free.
Amazon prime is not giving steam codes. All the numbers are people that purchased via steam or had the game already. We don’t know how big the Xbox store numbers are
@@Nickaroo93 I see what you mean. Peaked on Steam's statistics.
only need one tip, Dont play it! Garbage Teir Cash Grab Game!
