@@jaybuckley21700just take your time with it theres no right or wrong way to go just be wary of what parts of the map has higher level enemies unless they changed it by the whitesprings was always pretty high like around 50ish but idk if they changed where enemies anywhere will scale to your level instead of being fixed
Another tip, try your microphone. If you get toxic people, block them or turn off Chat in Settings>Audio. If you are new, and there is a high level in your group, they may likely help you. Fast travel to all the free sites. Dump Stimpacks and ammo on you. We want more people. We are (mostly) friendly.
I started at level 20 last night. I wasn’t even having a hard time with the loadout then I met a cool 😎 player high-level veteran player and he craft me some BOS armor and I assault rifle with a drum magazine and he fixed up the shotgun I had. I’m having a good time. Community is really helpful.
Starting at level 20 is so distasteful. You don't relish in the pain you went through to get there. Level 2-20 are always the most memorable because you are on edge and not nearly as comfortable
That's dope. Haven't interacted with anyone.. wasn't sure if you had to fight them or what so I wanted to stay away. This is cool if many are pleasant like that!
An even though the loadout isn't great, you can just change it once you see a punch card machine. so it's not even a huge deal. i started at 20 too. played enough fallout games to know the "struggles" of leveling. It's down to personal preference. And anyone that says things like its "distasteful" is just and opinion. Play how you want and don't let others sway you.
Ive played Fallout 1-3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4… I had never played Fallout 76 but after watching the show I was like man im going to give it a shot cause I love Fallout it’s my favorite game franchise ever I never played 76 cause I was a hater about it when it first came out but I’m going to try it tonight it’s currently downloading thanks for the advice good video!!!
always join a team. Its not like in other games. Everybody is still on its own. You still play as a singleplayer if you want. You just share perks (for example). Its dumb to not join.
@@sethael1741 thanks I grinded the first 15 levels not being on a team and when I joined a team I started leveling up a little quicker but do you recommend any perks I should be focused on or do I just do my own thing?
A big tip I can give from recent experience is to pick the scrounger card in luck. Level it up to max rank and you'll find 80% more ammo on enemies and containers. The ammo you'll find is tied to the gun you're using. So if you need 5mm, kill the enemy with 5mm. I'm a heavy guns power armor build and I mainly use the flamer. Every enemy I kill drops 10-20 fuel, containers sometimes give me as much as 80-100 fuel but usually around 35-65. What I find is I'll leave my base with 200 fuel and after killing a bunch of enemies I end up with 800-1000. I sell the excess for 1 cap per fuel at my base and I still never run out of ammo. Did the same with 5mm before swapping to flamer, ended up with 13,500 5mm rounds lmao
The scrounger perk doesn't seem to be necessary if a new player starts with a sniper build. A Sniper build works fine in The Forest and if you're using Sneak hits you'll be swimming in your ammo type; I had about 2,000 45 cal ammo by level 20 of a pipe revolver sniper. You can build an inventory of an ammo type that can be used later for The Fixer, a Combat Rifle, a Lever Action Rifle, and the Submachine gun if/when you change away from a sniper build.
Great video! You should do one covering the “UNWRITTEN RULES & SOCIAL NORMS” of FO76. Like waiting until everyone is ready at the start of a daily op and giving a thumbs up; dealing with griefers at your camp; how to politely ask for help; not being annoying at events, ect.
One thing to note about claiming a workshop is that claiming will turn Pacifist mode off and other players can take you out to take over your workshop. If you're going to just claim and run off with the plans, remember to turn Pacifist Mode back on in your options menu. Fast travel to team members is free but there are other locations on the map you can free travel to. Your camp, the Rusty Pick, the Raider, Brotherhood of Steel and Settler main bases, the Whitespring, the Rose Room and Vault 76 can be fast travelled to without spending caps. You can use these free travel locations to cut down on the cap cost to travel to quest locations.
If you are new and want a huge boost to learning weapon and armor mod plans along with chems and all kinds of other loot, ask a high level player for their treasure maps or if they will dig them up with you. Most players dont use them but they are actually pretty useful at lower levels. Note: be prepared for a long overencumbered walk to a railway or camp to unload, sell, and scrap everything.
Great “how to get started “ video. Been playing since launch and these are some great tips. Just grind til you get to level 50. That’s when the game really starts.
Just wanna say this is a great tip video. I’ve tried three separate times to get into this game over the years and never had success. Finally felt like giving it another go after the fallout show came out and your video has really made this game fun. Thank you for all the tips!
This was an amazing beginners video! Thank you so much. Started installing the game before work and hopping in afterwards. This has been really helpful! One important tip I did read is you want to put all your junk in your stash box because if another player does kill you that is the only thing they can steal off your body.
It’s great to see FO76 thriving after all these years. I occasionally jump back into the game, but more recently I’ve been playing and seeing fresh newbies in the servers! I just want to say welcome and I hope you enjoy the game! I am on Xbox and I’d be happy to help the newbies with anything they need (I have a lot of stimpacks and ammo I hardly ever use).
You should start at lvl 20 IMO since you actually get 25 lvls of perks with an additional 5 not equipped (vs just 19 for the lvl 2 start). Even if its not min-maxxed you are just getting an insane value for your buck, along with the plans for the weapons you start with.
@@boevahkinYou literally don't miss out on any content and can easily change your load out in a few levels if you don't like it, there's not a single downside to picking a premade load out being against them is just try hard shit
I agree with doing a fresh dweller as well. Mostly because as you said you need to learn the game. But also, you'll more than likely will also gain more gear, resources, and plans. Because even at level 2 you'll be scrapping stuff and learning mods. On a side note. Old players like me always put stuff in that donation box. Above all other donation boxes. Especially if I hit my daily caps limit with shops. I'll dump all kinds of stuff in that box. As for where most players will end up selling, I would bet they go to the saw mill these days and you can sell stuff there. And I would personally tell new players to never buy from the medicine and ammo vending machines. That stuff is overpriced crap. More than likely new players with shops will sell stuff for cheaper. As for death you do technically have a negative when dying. You lose all your buffs and have to put those back on.
If you're not going to get fallout 1st I highly recommend bulking critical junk materials to save space in the stash box. Then bulk and sell unwanted junk to robot vendors to make some extra caps.
Bulking doesn't reduce weight except on lead and aluminum. The small reduction is only due to the plastic being used on bulking. Bulking is so you can sell junk in vendor.
Thanks for sharing, bud. Been playing for about 20 hours now and I'm having a blast. I picked the first aid card at the start because I didn't know sprinting used up AP. Had a funny first interaction with a level 1057. I was in a basement at night looking for stuff to scrap and hear this heavy stomping sound coming from upstairs so I hide in a room. He walks down the stairs and opens the door while wearing power armor and a laser minigun so I do the panic emote. He laughed and gave me a shielded vault suit and 100 stimpacks. So I gave him a nuka cherry cola. We gave each other a thumbs up and he went on his way. I'm having so much fun with this game and I thought joining groups meant you needed to be around them at all times. Pretty cool you can just do your own thing and teleport to them for free. I was avoiding that cause I thought we had to do quests together or some shit. Just joining a group for the benefits is nice.
A general video for new players that i wish we had when i started ! Simple but very helpful . Great video Wiggle ! Any new players watching / reading this , Fallout is a game that's meant to fall off of the beaten path . The most fun i have is by just playing and exploring on my way to objectives . This is where Bethesda games really shine . The amount of content / side missions you can stumble upon will make this 150ish hour game into 500 ( it feels like ) . Hope we get some more Fallout fans 😁
I just started and this guide is great, especially learning about the fast travel option. I joined a random group last night and a level 800 gifted me a whole bunch of stuff. It was awesome.
as an early player join ALL events. Even level 50 and death from above. You’re not going to be able to do much damage but you’ll get so much xp for this.
@@barefacedyeti3895 it’s an event in game to kill the scorch beast queen. It’ll say completed when the bomb drops and you just fast travel to the event.
Hey thank you very much. I’m gonna start over as I’ve had a rough time trying to get thru this game . I’m at level 28 but I’m running around in my underwear with some various weak amour. There are still some basic questions that I don’t understand and other help videos just blow thru at lighting speed bc they themselves have probably put in a 1000 hours. I need to go thru and understand about camp and where is more storage box and does it show up other places. I’m always overencumbered even though I put my strength at 11 I can never fast travel even when I try to scrap all weapons except for the ones I feel I want to hang on to. I’ve seen that this is a very deep game and I think it’ll have great potential if I can walk thru and learn everything step by step. Thank you
wow, i got game on sale and i watched and read a few tip guides, most of which didn't really tell me much that i didn't know or what i was looking for. this video basically taught me so much and answered some of my questions. I also had no idea you could fast travel in this game, i've tried clicking icons on map and haven't seen the option like in the single player games and man, running is insanely long... i've spent most of my time running and running and running. but if i can fast travel to player camps and such, that would be huge. I also had no idea about player venders and wasted some caps using the other ones lol
@@Rusty2255-i6c Pick a SPECIAL it adds a point to it and allows you to select a perk card, if you already have 1* perk and select it again it makes it a 2* perk. Think of it as upgrading your perk.
I returned after a long break and made the mistake of starting lv 20. Lol it started off alright, but then I got steam rolled by the same death claw 3 times in a row while trying to help the crashed astronaut kill her robot.
Thank you! been playing a month and learned heaps from this video. didn't realize the ammo is dependant on the weapon I'm holding. I do a lot of Melee and get random ammo. Didn't realize I could "scrap all junk" even though it's written there I guess I didn't read lol. been scrapping things by sifting through. I didn't play the guitar in the vault! but I did sleeeeeeep. I do a lot of cooking! learned the hard way that my collected plants, 'spoil" over time so now I cook any time I find a cooking area. Shaydeelady in Fallout 76
The part where he was looting is to the right and down the hill slightly as you come out of the Vault. It's a car park and has a couple of enemies around it and several wrecked vehicles.
thank you for making this video! I'm a longtime fan of fallout, but I have slept on 76 and never bought it. The show combined with this video hitting my algorithm has convinced me to buy and install it.
I would also suggest that you save your in game atoms from atom challenges if you do not plan on getting fallout 1st , you can earn enough in game atoms to purchase the season pass in very little time . Just save your atoms from the season after getting the season pass for the next season pass also.
You got to be the best tip and explainer I have come across and you speak clearly easy to understand I never thought I would pay for information and also I see that you are not greasy your price is more then fare I believe by you video I will get ahead rather then on my own this game Fallout 76 has so much to learn I'm having so much trouble grasping and remembering what to do your video 1st I have seen so far I have learned so much so far thanks from the bottom of my heart I'm 66 trying to keep up to you guys well like I said trying by for now
I am at level 30 now, and been donating value stuff at the box. Got gift from a high level player as a newbie, that made me feel very helpful and surprised. 😊😊
Great video perfect for myself and my gf to watch just as we get our bearing! We had the pleasure of meeting two seperate high levels and their teammates who gave us plenty of clothes, mats, and even built us little starter bases. I’m sure it’s just as exciting for the og players to see the influx of new players due to the show!
I’m a big time fallout 4 player and have really struggled with 76 and kind of gave up on it. This video changed my mind 100% I was doing a lot of shit wrong that is new to me. I will say with the exception of one guy who was like I’ve level 100 who killed me and stole my base everyone else I met was so nice and just started giving me all kinds of valuable stuff.
As a new player, I highly encourage pacifist mode (in the settings). Although there are lots of friendly players in Fallout 76, you do NOT want to get into a firefight with those who are down for PvP at a low level. You will get guaranteed 1-2 shotted since experienced players often have a build set up while you're learning/chose a mid tier preset at level 20.
Well rested taking about 30 secs still drives me crazy. Sometimes its 45-50. Sometimes it woll not proc, and you have to get up and lie down again. Been playing since beginning, but some of the little bugs are the most annoying.
I still remeber me and my friend left the vault and a guy named sschwiggidy wiggidy followed us for 4 hours waited till we came across a workshop and killed us for no reason
Yea noticed that too as I set my series x back up and installed it and got fallout 1st. Rolled a cowboy character and did level 20 as it was a new gamertag and I’m going for all achievements on this account
So this may be a dumb question, but how many weapons does everyone usually run around with? I was thinking of bringing a main weapon, a melee weapon for close target enemies. Should I bring another weapon in case I run out of ammo?
I tend to specialize my characters. For ranged characters, I carry 2-3 ranged weapons. For a melee character, I tend to carry 4-5 melee weapons and shotgun for crippling.
Most random players that arent jerks and griefers can be very generous to new players. There were several that gifted me plenty of purified water and ammo
Just played the game for the first time last night and had a lot of fun. It seems like the community is mostly helpful and keep to themselves unless you party with them
one tip i have is get every special to at least 3 before you make your build. i do this because most perk cards peak at level 3. this means that even if my build doesn't use a certain attribute, i can still slot in a maxed perk card for whatever i may need at the time it also ensures that you're well off on those fronts. having 1 str means you get weighed down a lot, and 1 int means you level up like a turtle
I’m lvl 76 and basically can’t figure out how to get better stuff. It seems there are “material walls” on everything that would be useful for me. It’s kinda overwhelming really but I am slowly learning via YT.
Usually you can't go wrong with shotguns or rifles in the beginning with no outside help. And modded pipe weapons can do you well for a long while too. Weight saving perks (Thru hiker, pack rat, travel pharmacy, sturdy frame, etc) you might want to prioritize. Action boy/girl, blocker, inspirational, scrapper, good with salt, green thumb: those are good all around choices for any build. One point wonders like concentrated fire and born survivor are great early, and don't necessarily need to be maxed to get good use out of. Adrenaline rush at 49 and Gun Fu at 50 are also good 1 point perks. Ultimately play what you like and try not to pigeon hole yourself too much as far as weapon perks in the beginning. You'll come across a lot of fun weapons to try and swap out.
I've been selling my junk and weapons I don't need to make cash. I thought that made a ton of sense, until I saw this video. Should I be scrapping everything instead? And if so, where do I then get my walking around money??
Contextual ammo is actually a little more complex than simply matching the weapon you’re currently holding. When you attack an enemy, the contextual ammo will typically match the weapon that did the most damage. Take 1 shot at an enemy with a 10mm but then kill the enemy with a shotgun, then switch back to the 10mm before looting the corpse and you’ll more than likely get shotgun ammo, not 10mm ammo. However, there is also a chance that the enemy will drop other ammo types at the same time, including 10mm ammo. When you loot a box (ammo box, wooden box, tool box, etc), the ammo drops from that box are for whichever weapon you had equipped when you proximity discovered that box. For example, if you proximity discover a box while holding the 10mm pistol but you switch to a shotgun before you open the box, the box will more than likely still drop 10mm ammo, not shotgun ammo. That means that contextual ammo isn’t based 100% on the weapon you’re holding but instead it’s based on whichever weapon you were holding when you came within the discovery proximity of that box.
This video was a great refresher. I bought 76 at launch, and as we all know, it was... not great. I ended up dropping it. But it sounds like it actually may be playable now. Plus, with the show, i assume more ppl will be looking into picking it up.
One of my favourite things to do with my mmo brain is assemble suits of t-45 to give to new players. I don’t craft to save on mats so I just game the locations for hours at a time. Feels good to give a new player a suit of armour though
@@hankplays7606 Well once you reach level 25 you can do a quest to unlock the ability to craft excavator armour, and if you finish Rose’s (the raider robot) story line it awards you with a suit of raider power armour, those are both good early game options if you don’t have time to farm the the sets t-45 out in the wasteland. And the once you reach level 30 you can try and get yourself a set of t-51b, then level 40 you can try and collect a set of t-60, both of these you’ll just have to try and find out in the wasteland. Once you reach level 50 you can do the first brother hood of steel storylines at Fort Defiance to get a set of Ultracite armor, or you can do the new brother hood storyline to unlock a set of hellcat armour. Both really good end game armours. But I would till you hit level 50 before you do either of the brotherhood story lines so that the rewards it gives you are for max level. But also remember you can mix and match sets. You don’t need to have a the same set for the whole frame.

I was avoiding that cause I thought we had to do quests together or some shit. Just joining a group for the benefits is nice.
A general video for new players that i wish we had when i started ! Simple but very helpful . Great video Wiggle ! Any new players watching / reading this , Fallout is a game that's meant to fall off of the beaten path . The most fun i have is by just playing and exploring on my way to objectives . This is where Bethesda games really shine . The amount of content / side missions you can stumble upon will make this 150ish hour game into 500 ( it feels like ) . Hope we get some more Fallout fans 😁
If you join a team, you can still explore by yourself.
I just started and this guide is great, especially learning about the fast travel option. I joined a random group last night and a level 800 gifted me a whole bunch of stuff. It was awesome.
as an early player join ALL events. Even level 50 and death from above. You’re not going to be able to do much damage but you’ll get so much xp for this.
What is death from above? I've had it popup out of nowhere saying quest complete and I haven't even done anything lol
@@barefacedyeti3895 it’s an event in game to kill the scorch beast queen. It’ll say completed when the bomb drops and you just fast travel to the event.
Hey thank you very much. I’m gonna start over as I’ve had a rough time trying to get thru this game . I’m at level 28 but I’m running around in my underwear with some various weak amour. There are still some basic questions that I don’t understand and other help videos just blow thru at lighting speed bc they themselves have probably put in a 1000 hours. I need to go thru and understand about camp and where is more storage box and does it show up other places. I’m always overencumbered even though I put my strength at 11 I can never fast travel even when I try to scrap all weapons except for the ones I feel I want to hang on to. I’ve seen that this is a very deep game and I think it’ll have great potential if I can walk thru and learn everything step by step. Thank you
wow, i got game on sale and i watched and read a few tip guides, most of which didn't really tell me much that i didn't know or what i was looking for. this video basically taught me so much and answered some of my questions. I also had no idea you could fast travel in this game, i've tried clicking icons on map and haven't seen the option like in the single player games and man, running is insanely long... i've spent most of my time running and running and running. but if i can fast travel to player camps and such, that would be huge. I also had no idea about player venders and wasted some caps using the other ones lol
Great video. Just started today, and it’s a bit overwhelming. Thank you.
It’s been so nice seeing all the new players and helping them out. Reminds me of when waste landers first came out.
Yes! Start out of The Vault at L2 - learn how to manage your level ups (it's a VERY important thing to learn!) [>2000hr player here]
Level 15 now and I still don’t understand the new card system and all that
@@Rusty2255-i6c Pick a SPECIAL it adds a point to it and allows you to select a perk card, if you already have 1* perk and select it again it makes it a 2* perk. Think of it as upgrading your perk.
I returned after a long break and made the mistake of starting lv 20. Lol it started off alright, but then I got steam rolled by the same death claw 3 times in a row while trying to help the crashed astronaut kill her robot.
Thank you! been playing a month and learned heaps from this video. didn't realize the ammo is dependant on the weapon I'm holding. I do a lot of Melee and get random ammo. Didn't realize I could "scrap all junk" even though it's written there I guess I didn't read lol. been scrapping things by sifting through. I didn't play the guitar in the vault! but I did sleeeeeeep. I do a lot of cooking! learned the hard way that my collected plants, 'spoil" over time so now I cook any time I find a cooking area.

I'm glad it helped.
The part where he was looting is to the right and down the hill slightly as you come out of the Vault. It's a car park and has a couple of enemies around it and several wrecked vehicles.
Thank you just started this game and still learning but this helped a lot.
I'm glad it helped.
Great video, this was really helpful! Got this game for a while now, but never really played it. Started playing yesterday.
I started playing yesterday. This video is helping so much already. Thx you so much!
I'm glad it's helping. Thanks for watching.
Hi,
22:08 how to change the way pip boy looks?? This is not a different skin or pip boy colour, but it looks completely different. Thnx.
When you are in the pip boy, there is an option at the bottom labeled "view"
@@wiggle_plays I'll check that. Thnx!!
Many thanks for the tips, I started playing last week and 6 years since its release this game looks good.
Very excited to play this game in 2024 for the 1st time! Glad I waited.
I've been playing this game since launch and that first tip blew my mind I never thought about sleeping before leaving the vault🤯🤯
thank you for making this video! I'm a longtime fan of fallout, but I have slept on 76 and never bought it. The show combined with this video hitting my algorithm has convinced me to buy and install it.
Same here bro , been playing it the last 2 days , waiting for it to grip me like new Vegas did
lvl 70s here new to fallout and this was actually usefull i forgot some stuff here
I would also suggest that you save your in game atoms from atom challenges if you do not plan on getting fallout 1st , you can earn enough in game atoms to purchase the season pass in very little time . Just save your atoms from the season after getting the season pass for the next season pass also.
You got to be the best tip and explainer I have come across and you speak clearly easy to understand I never thought I would pay for information and also I see that you are not greasy your price is more then fare I believe by you video I will get ahead rather then on my own this game Fallout 76 has so much to learn I'm having so much trouble grasping and remembering what to do your video 1st I have seen so far I have learned so much so far thanks from the bottom of my heart I'm 66 trying to keep up to you guys well like I said trying by for now
Thank you. I'm glad to help.
I am at level 30 now, and been donating value stuff at the box. Got gift from a high level player as a newbie, that made me feel very helpful and surprised. 😊😊
Great video perfect for myself and my gf to watch just as we get our bearing! We had the pleasure of meeting two seperate high levels and their teammates who gave us plenty of clothes, mats, and even built us little starter bases. I’m sure it’s just as exciting for the og players to see the influx of new players due to the show!
Jesus! I watched the whole thing and it was so good. This is a must watch.
Just started this yesterday. Great video
Thank you.
ty dude! I just started playing and so far im having a great time!
I’m a big time fallout 4 player and have really struggled with 76 and kind of gave up on it. This video changed my mind 100% I was doing a lot of shit wrong that is new to me. I will say with the exception of one guy who was like I’ve level 100 who killed me and stole my base everyone else I met was so nice and just started giving me all kinds of valuable stuff.
As a new player, I highly encourage pacifist mode (in the settings). Although there are lots of friendly players in Fallout 76, you do NOT want to get into a firefight with those who are down for PvP at a low level. You will get guaranteed 1-2 shotted since experienced players often have a build set up while you're learning/chose a mid tier preset at level 20.
I’m so excited to see all the new players
i just started to day, thanks for this! what a great timing! ILY
I still remember that one team I was in. I was pretty new, got lost against very strong enemies and 2 teammates show up to help me
Well rested taking about 30 secs still drives me crazy. Sometimes its 45-50. Sometimes it woll not proc, and you have to get up and lie down again. Been playing since beginning, but some of the little bugs are the most annoying.
Very helpful. Fresh game started today. Thanks!
Thankyou very much for the tips, some i had'nt thought of , very handy.
i agree about the starting loadout. i think battle ready loadout was made primarily for people making multiple characters
Great video dude! I'm honestly pleasantly surprised at how much the game has improved since I bought it at launch, to my horror!
Great video! Wish I’d had something like this when I first started.
do you do radio? lol , seriously very well done video, probably one of the best articulated videos ive seen in a long time! subbed!
I still remeber me and my friend left the vault and a guy named sschwiggidy wiggidy followed us for 4 hours waited till we came across a workshop and killed us for no reason
Thanks man this is pretty much all the info I could ask for.
Saw so many new players this morning! Made sure to put a few goodies in the donations box.
Yea noticed that too as I set my series x back up and installed it and got fallout 1st. Rolled a cowboy character and did level 20 as it was a new gamertag and I’m going for all achievements on this account
I just started and the level 20 shotgun class is excellent
So this may be a dumb question, but how many weapons does everyone usually run around with? I was thinking of bringing a main weapon, a melee weapon for close target enemies. Should I bring another weapon in case I run out of ammo?
I tend to specialize my characters. For ranged characters, I carry 2-3 ranged weapons. For a melee character, I tend to carry 4-5 melee weapons and shotgun for crippling.
I don’t remember the battle ready dweller option when I started
It was added in December.
Most random players that arent jerks and griefers can be very generous to new players. There were several that gifted me plenty of purified water and ammo
Just played the game for the first time last night and had a lot of fun. It seems like the community is mostly helpful and keep to themselves unless you party with them
Really helpful tips, tahnk you so much Wiggle!
played 3 NV and 4 but haven't played this one, excited thank you
Amazing video explained tons of things I need I just downloaded it yesterday 👍🏾
Thank you!
this is why i love having the auto axe or chainsaw all the ammo that drops is a good amount of all types specially in expeditions and daily ops
one tip i have is get every special to at least 3 before you make your build. i do this because most perk cards peak at level 3.
this means that even if my build doesn't use a certain attribute, i can still slot in a maxed perk card for whatever i may need at the time
it also ensures that you're well off on those fronts. having 1 str means you get weighed down a lot, and 1 int means you level up like a turtle
Great video. Thank you so much
I suck at the base building part can I just skip all that and just explore and kill ?
Yes.
@@wiggle_plays thanks fam
This is one of the better videos trying to explain this game. Unless you have your own community of friends this game explains very little.
I’m lvl 76 and basically can’t figure out how to get better stuff. It seems there are “material walls” on everything that would be useful for me. It’s kinda overwhelming really but I am slowly learning via YT.
First work shop I ran into was the racetrack by the carnival.
Ayy recently hit 150 didnt know you got plans from workshops! Gonna have to do some hopping.
Just started today🎉 thanks for the tips
Started playing today :) very nice 😊 could you go into beginner level up builds? For a first story playthrough?
Usually you can't go wrong with shotguns or rifles in the beginning with no outside help. And modded pipe weapons can do you well for a long while too. Weight saving perks (Thru hiker, pack rat, travel pharmacy, sturdy frame, etc) you might want to prioritize. Action boy/girl, blocker, inspirational, scrapper, good with salt, green thumb: those are good all around choices for any build. One point wonders like concentrated fire and born survivor are great early, and don't necessarily need to be maxed to get good use out of. Adrenaline rush at 49 and Gun Fu at 50 are also good 1 point perks.
Ultimately play what you like and try not to pigeon hole yourself too much as far as weapon perks in the beginning. You'll come across a lot of fun weapons to try and swap out.
Add me if you ever need help with anything or if you want anything I’ll get it for you :)
Haven't played the game in about 5 years but have heard good things
Thank you for the tips, i bought the game on sale, and it was kinda confusing in the beginning, it's like Skyrim with zombies! XD
I am legend but with the dragonborn? I'd watch lol
Do I need to setup a team regardless of playing solo.
Nope. Being on a team is entirely optional.
casual solo team gives +1 inteligence. im not sure if team perks activate if u are inside a solo team
I've been selling my junk and weapons I don't need to make cash. I thought that made a ton of sense, until I saw this video. Should I be scrapping everything instead? And if so, where do I then get my walking around money??
Lots of people build water purifiers and sell purified water.
Contextual ammo is actually a little more complex than simply matching the weapon you’re currently holding.
When you attack an enemy, the contextual ammo will typically match the weapon that did the most damage. Take 1 shot at an enemy with a 10mm but then kill the enemy with a shotgun, then switch back to the 10mm before looting the corpse and you’ll more than likely get shotgun ammo, not 10mm ammo.
However, there is also a chance that the enemy will drop other ammo types at the same time, including 10mm ammo.
When you loot a box (ammo box, wooden box, tool box, etc), the ammo drops from that box are for whichever weapon you had equipped when you proximity discovered that box.
For example, if you proximity discover a box while holding the 10mm pistol but you switch to a shotgun before you open the box, the box will more than likely still drop 10mm ammo, not shotgun ammo.
That means that contextual ammo isn’t based 100% on the weapon you’re holding but instead it’s based on whichever weapon you were holding when you came within the discovery proximity of that box.
New player here should i start as a lvl 1 or get a lvl 20 preloaded character
I recommend level 1 for your first character.
Do the legend scrip machines ever replenish their scrips? I sold a bunch of stuff and can’t get any more scrips cause they don’t have any
Yes. The limit is 500 per day.
@@wiggle_plays oh right on per day, ty
Thanks for this video! The show has peaked my interest in this game
This video was a great refresher. I bought 76 at launch, and as we all know, it was... not great. I ended up dropping it. But it sounds like it actually may be playable now. Plus, with the show, i assume more ppl will be looking into picking it up.
Thank you for your upbeat and helpful video mate.
One of my favourite things to do with my mmo brain is assemble suits of t-45 to give to new players. I don’t craft to save on mats so I just game the locations for hours at a time. Feels good to give a new player a suit of armour though
New player here! Really hope I run into you in game cause I currently have an arm and a leg for my power armor lmao
@@hankplays7606 Well once you reach level 25 you can do a quest to unlock the ability to craft excavator armour, and if you finish Rose’s (the raider robot) story line it awards you with a suit of raider power armour, those are both good early game options if you don’t have time to farm the the sets t-45 out in the wasteland. And the once you reach level 30 you can try and get yourself a set of t-51b, then level 40 you can try and collect a set of t-60, both of these you’ll just have to try and find out in the wasteland. Once you reach level 50 you can do the first brother hood of steel storylines at Fort Defiance to get a set of Ultracite armor, or you can do the new brother hood storyline to unlock a set of hellcat armour. Both really good end game armours. But I would till you hit level 50 before you do either of the brotherhood story lines so that the rewards it gives you are for max level.
But also remember you can mix and match sets. You don’t need to have a the same set for the whole frame.
No one told me how good this game is now! I’m having a blast. At work I’m just thinking about fallout now
Just started today after watching the show, fun experience so far!
Great video, I am a new player and this helped me a lot.
Awesome!
That was way more informative and useful than most of these videos thank you
New character made after watching the series look forward to getting back out there. 🙌🏽
Always wonder why the pipboy is kinda rusty and beat up when its never been used
