it took me like 30+ complete raids to finally get 1 helmet after completing the rest of the armor. Fortunately, like 4 raids after that I also got the calibrated shocks. The grind still goes on for the jetpack though! Great video!
The helmet also took me the longest. But for most folks out there struggling to finish the armor/mods for it, cycle the first boss. Sure it's boring, but you'll get everything fairly quick, and can then relax and enjoy the rest of the raid
Just finished my grind for it 2 days ago you won’t be disappointed it’s well worth the grind not only does it look the best power armor it’s by far imo the best armor for raids with overeaters on it nothing can damage you even the snakes venom barely makes a dint and if you have a vamps gat plaz it’s venom does nothing to you
The game refuses to give me the helmet, I have gotten all the armor pieces so many times I've done so many full runs and it just won't give me the helmet lol
Just got mine today on the first run of the day. This is hundreds of runs at this point. I have 5 and 6 duplicates of a good half the plans and this is just farming boss 1. Still no Jetpack. Who would have thought I would have 3 calibrated shocks plans before the bloody jetpack? lol.
I personally run the Vulcan for those sweet sweet gimbal bracers. Makes the pepper shaker a laser beam. Got Quad, explosive, durability and fracturers on it. Not the most damaging gun but I can cripple anything from 200 feet out. It's so much fun.
Next update adds 10 strength to all power armor meaning extra 50 carry weight. Put funky duds on and you have a higher poison resist without the need of union. I would say union for general purpose armor and vulcan for raids or certain mutated events/daily ops.
Same. Even more so after next update when we can put full fusion cores in ammo storage. Then the less recharge speed does not matter. So it becomes a choice between Gimbal bracers vs carry weight+poison resistance. Union wins.
Umm isn’t there a limit for literally everything In the game?😂 imagine how broken and laggy the game would be if everyone was to have infinite PA displays.
I think its funny folks complain about grinding for vulcan plans. Try grinding for calibrated shocks and emergency protocols for ultracite PA XD. Now that's insane.
@@ipodhex Well, because ultracite is one of the few legacy PArmors that used to allow you to have a jet pack in an arm or helmet piece thus allowing you to have a jet pack and emergency protocols or any other torso mod in the same PA. That´s very useful for a bunch of reasons. Plus I like the armor because of the looks. I do hope bethesda makes the drop rates better for those mods I mentioned because with the future added 10 strength to all PArmors it would make the ultracite a very viable first set of PA for all newcomers to the game.
Please note that with Vulcan PA combined with the power user perk and a Repair boblehead you push your fusion core up to +105% which does in fact cause your fusion core to charge slowly instead of draining. Makes it perfect for running with only a single core
worth noting the helmet also gets the +10% vats hit chance and bright light mods which is sorely needed in other Power Armours. honestly if i didn't have a jetpack arm for my current PA i'd have moved over to Vulcan by now
So earlier today me and a few friends went into a raid and two of my friends got 3 pieces of there fully speced vulcan armor taken from them, if that was me I probably would never do raids again.
I've run over 240 raids so far and I still can't get the damn jetpack to drop but I've got the right leg plans drop three times and the left leg plans drop twice already. Pro tip I've got about six power armor chassis in my stash and whenever I do get a four star piece of Vulcan armor I throw it on one of the chassis so I'm slowly working up to having a complete set of each type the miasma the tanky reflective Ect
I thought the plans you’ve already learned doesn’t drop until you’ve got everything from the loot pool? Ran over 100+ and I think I got every plans without dups until I learned everything.
I tried to do it alone and with randoms but it was just to hard solo and when i was on a team they were on the last part and i died first. and its impossible to do
I don't find the need for any poison resistance in the raid. You can just step out of the puddles, and a single stim takes care of the spit attack. You're losing a lot of meaningful offense or better defense by investing so heavily into it as a stat. Just my opinion though!
@augustocarrere5635 thays pretty open based on what you need. Luck if you're critting and need that, or dont wanna run limit breaking. Endurance gets you hp, resistances, ap if you use thirst quencher perk. Str gets you carry weight and more auto axe damage. Powered is even more aggressive regen... it's an open star.
I'd recommend powered on Vulcan giving it a awesome ap regen +50 fully hydrated and action boy increases it further giving you more time in vats and more points for dodgy. I've got limit breaker 2 scanner 1 and aegis 2
I like this armor. I didn't think that I would find anything to take me away from legacy jetpack modded excavator armor... Vulcan armor has done the trick.
When i first saw the banner for this update and heard the name gleaming depths and the helmet that Frank horrigan wore i thought that we are going to be fighting him, well an ultracite mutated varient.
The really nice things about Vulcan is the AP refresh, Gimbal Bracers and when using Elastic Shocks and Marsupial….you can eliminate a Jet Pack in almost all situations….thus freeing up some really excellent mods on the torso. So much versatility the downside is carry weight. I scrapped all my Armor sets except Union and Excavators…(why I keep excavators is a mystery to me at this point….nostalgia perhaps) and use mostly a couple tailored set of Vulcans. A grind to get the plans for all the mods but definitely more fun than the grind to get the Gatling plasma mods. Plenty of paints and skins for Vulcan as well if you don’t care for the green pimpled look.
My set crits every 2nd shot with no buffs on: 1st Star: Overeater's 2nd Star: 2 +2 Luck and 3 Powered 3rd Star: Arm's Keeper 4th Star: 2 Rejuvenator and 3 Limit Breaking I can use it for the whole raid, it does everything. I don't believe Poisoner's is worth it at all as you can always Stimpack spam. I don't have Funky Duds either. Love the armor set!
Great video. While I do love my Union Power Armor for all the same reasons you mentioned; carry weigt and the poison resistance the Vulcan set has some nice quality of life mods. The Gimble Bracers were the main draw for me and the cool jet pack. For mods I like to use Overeaters - Luck - a utility mod like Thru-Hikers to free up STR and END slots and 4/5 Ranger's and 1 Limit-Breaking. With that and easy to find Luck food and Herd Mentality it is easy to hit the mark for a critical on every other shot in V.A.T.S.
I can say through all certainty this is a good power armor, but it can be cancer is extremely hard. It breaks it breaks it gone. There is no fixing it so you have to stay up on the health of your arm and getting any mods for it or extremely low so you have to do that raid back to back to back to make it worth it
Yo Mr West Tek can u do build in the gleaming depths shelter ? I would love to see what u do with it i can't find any videos for shelter build in the new gleaming depths shelter at all ....
On ps we tried the full set rejuvenating mod and it is great for ap regen and keeping you alive and it gives your teammates a boost aswell as long as you are within 50 of them so have fun.
You have to earn the Vaulcanus by doing the raids. After about 250 raids I had all the plans that were available there. I wish everyone a lot of fun and luck - it's worth it.
I dunno I have all plans and even manage to make every single piece into god roll, but still something tells me t-65 is more tanky I would really like to see test comparison.
I assume its due to a bug, but i ended up running the full raid twice with 16 people yesterday and i finally got the jetpack plan and the final raid weapon i needed to complete the set. Thought it was a cool way to end things on and even though its a bug, i would love if a 8+ man raid was implemented in the future.
I had to put the +2 strength on all my Vulcan pieces just to have enough carry weight to come close to my Union set or even just running around in Secret Service
Hello @MrWestTek ! My vulcan armor is bugged, my ap regeneration does not work and I have the impression that the increased duration of the fusion reactor also Does this happen to you too and if so, how to avoid it?
I’ve got 3 out of the 5 pieces with reflective on it but it is a pain to get 5-10 copies of the 4 star mod boxes you want. Plus there’s the weapon ones and putting some on your regular armour, all I want is reflective for my armours because it fits my build, maybe rejuvenators as well in case I do get hit
Over 200+ runs, i do have every peace, and im about to get the last 2 helmet mods, I first started with str boost on my second stars (currenly i started swiching these +2 str mods to powered), overeater's is a must have in every peace, it doesn't matter if you're running a bloodied build or not. The third is the second must have, weight reduction mods, i do highly recommend to get arms keeper's in the arm pieces, a belted in the torso, and thru hiker's in the legs. The four star is a matter of taste so far, but to be honest, i do actually use Aegis, in all the limbs, and a rejuvenator's in the torso. So far it works for me well. The thing what i most like in this armor is some of those new mods. Gimbal bracers is one of the best PA mods so far, and maybe the only choice if you're not running a melee build. The elastic servos are also very good in many ways, but when i started swiching the str to powered 2* effects, i also swiched the leg mods to calibrated shocks. in that way i not have to suffer all the time i go somewhere to farm some legendaries, or haveing too much chems or food, nor ammo.
Strangely enough….i found that two Rejuvenators keeps me alive just fine in the raid without any union poison bonuses, funky duds or poisoners 2 star mods
I’d love to get this set if I didn’t have to server hop 100 times to even find a team I’d do it myself but I can’t get a good build going and it pisses me off
found one player selling Sawbones for 20k. i had 24k on me and bought it. Never seen a sawbones for sale, how do you get the 4 star mods? i've bought a choo-choo and now a sawbones but i havent had one drop for me in the wild what gives
You can only get the 4 star mod boxes from the raid. You can also get the 4 star weapons and their plans to scrap em to learn their 4 star mods. There’s also a chance that any Vulcan piece you get has 4 stars which again you can scrap for a chance to learn.
damn im no where near that as im lvl 200 and have no chance alone but i got the helmet plan so i just started using the armor. unfortunately when you craft the helmet you cant make it legendary
So weird, I have gotten like 10 helmets but no jetpack, no calibrated shocks, no pounders. I have gotten 10+ of several 4 star legendary effects and not a single pounders. It's so annoying. I started just throwing 4 stars mods away
Oh and troubleshooter/reflective for guardian grind oe/ rejuvinator for general purpose use for all other content and thru hiker for 4 3star slotuse ranfers on normal armor uy xp farm and limit break for crit vats builds in normal
You take less damage from the robot. I used troubleshooters for a long time but recently changed to overeaters. I tend to use a few more stimpaks but you get tons of them from the raid so I am ok with it. 😊
a lot of people are farming the first boss in the raid, so it can be worth it if youre one of those people and you have the mods available to do so. Overall you can just stick with overeaters imo
So what is your overall damage resistance/reduction on my Hellcat I have 1024 damage resistance with bolstering 925 energy Rads 789 Bolstering 1st star Hazmat second star Arms keeper 3star Aegis 4th star Bolstering is very underrated
For the second star, endurance is the only good option. So many survivability perks under endurance and when you have 29 end or higher with the correct perks you are quite literally un touchable by anything out in the world.
@ ok thanks, was always wondering but couldn’t find an answer, maybe do two pieces of arms keeper for 40% and one arms keeper perk card at 45% for total of 85%
I have been stuck on the chest plate for so long I’ve got about 20+ runs with no chest plate. It’s an amazing set but I think t-65 is still going to be my main, I wish t-65 had a set bonus lol
The more cool stuff they add the more saddening it is to watch t-65 to because less and less useful. No longer the best in raw stats and has no passive ability makes it almost worth less than just regular common power armor. They really need to make t-65 have some sort of passive.
i doubt it but i hope in the future 76 does a cross over with 40k for the space marine armors and diff skins lol power armors is basicly as bulky as a space marine lol
I have an union power amor with full vanguard for 1st star, with 4 powerd and 1 luck in and star and 3 is a mixed stuff and 4 a set of reflective and 3 argis
Let me explain to you why Vulcan is broken. Ultracite Bracers. Ultracite Bracers makes it so ALL attacks deal radiation and poison damage + poison DOT (this is clearly a bug). This makes Vipers the most consistent damage dealing 4* effect in the game. For the robot itself both of its Limbs (The Shield and Torso), count as a Torse rather than an Apendage. Because of this Pin-Pointers (which currently gives a multiplicative rather than additive) damage bonus, does not apply to the robot. So you will be dealing the most damage to the robot using Ultracite Bracers with a Vipers weapon. For the snake, Pin-Pointers will deal more damage to the snake itself, but the tail counts as a separate enemy and not an appendage, so Pin-Pointers wont count towards it meaning that overall you will still deal more DPS with Vipers with Ultracite Bracers. Also, because Ultracite Bracers will deal radiation damage, the Vulcan Squad in stage 3 have 0 Rad Resistance, meaning you will melt their health bar with any weapon so long as their shields are down.
easy solo for the EN06. vamps, ricochet, stand still and spam stims while shooting once in awhile, then proceed with the auto axe. so simple. no need for over eaters either.
Calibrated shocks should just be included on all power armor. It sucks to instantly feel weaker the second you put on power armor, unless you use 6 perk points and mods to ALMOST feel as powerful as wearing secret service deep pockets, big backpack, and chemists mod... It almost feels like this meta was put in place to push everyone to be a pistol ghoul in the next update.
. I have a decent build I think and I’m a level 352. I’ve even joined raids but it seems like everyone dies. I don’t understand how these people make it look so easy.
If there’s anyone on Xbox struggling with the first boss I’ll carry you through it just leave your gamertag below
Very nice of you

@@markjess1138Yeah auto axe farming the first boss I got all mods in like 8 hours. Now Im Getting all repeats
I'm still & probably forever rocking T-65. Never even started grinding for Union.
I'm waiting on the helmet, and the calibrated shocks. The grind continues, and I'm not even mad about it.
Those seem to be the hardest to get for some reason...
I agree with the calibrated shocks (Still grinding), but I'm fine on rolling
My friend got the calibrated shocks from only doing a few raids
I’m so glad I got all those plans. :-)
Same, wasn't easy...
The 75+carry weight and poisen resistance on union-set, makes that my favourite
Same the union may not be the strongest but dam it looks good ❤
union 4life, everything else worthless
Doesn’t compare to ap and fusion core regen from Vulcan
plus the buff for pa will make vulcan better with carry weight
I love my union set I really do but it had to go in the stash.. that fusion core drain is just to good to pass up with the Vulcan.
I'm still working the grind to get my Union Power Armor
Just finished mine last night. Best of luck, big man.
Just finished my grind for it 2 days ago you won’t be disappointed it’s well worth the grind not only does it look the best power armor it’s by far imo the best armor for raids with overeaters on it nothing can damage you even the snakes venom barely makes a dint and if you have a vamps gat plaz it’s venom does nothing to you

I feel your pain. Probably beat at least 100 stages before I got it. Keep at it buddy and I'm sending some good luck your way ;)
Lmao, same, it has the exact drop rate as the torso but nothing.
The helmet was the second piece of volcano set that i got. Keep running 💪
Yup took me about 100 tries to get a helmet also
Just got mine today on the first run of the day.
This is hundreds of runs at this point. I have 5 and 6 duplicates of a good half the plans and this is just farming boss 1.
Still no Jetpack. Who would have thought I would have 3 calibrated shocks plans before the bloody jetpack? lol.
I personally run the Vulcan for those sweet sweet gimbal bracers. Makes the pepper shaker a laser beam. Got Quad, explosive, durability and fracturers on it. Not the most damaging gun but I can cripple anything from 200 feet out. It's so much fun.
Do you need to run any crippling perks? Like enforcer or one gun army?
@SpikeyPancake I use both.
Finally got the calibrated shocks after around 80 runs, when I saw it pop I threw my hands up like I won a race lmao rng in this game is atrocious
For me personally after the novelty wore off, Union is still a more well-rounded set.
It is. Especially with 5 of Aegis installed.
Nah, Vulcan > Everything
Next update adds 10 strength to all power armor meaning extra 50 carry weight. Put funky duds on and you have a higher poison resist without the need of union. I would say union for general purpose armor and vulcan for raids or certain mutated events/daily ops.
Now is that plus 10 strength to what you have? So if I have 15 before going into it then I’d have 25? Or if I have below 10 do I then go up to 10?
Same. Even more so after next update when we can put full fusion cores in ammo storage. Then the less recharge speed does not matter. So it becomes a choice between Gimbal bracers vs carry weight+poison resistance. Union wins.
I like how they added yet another suit of power armor to the game and still limit the number of pa displays you can have.
Umm isn’t there a limit for literally everything In the game?😂 imagine how broken and laggy the game would be if everyone was to have infinite PA displays.
@@ipodhex 8 or 10 displays is not infinite. Only can have 5 right now, which doesn't account for each type of PA.

Why would you when union is way better and easier to acquire for both mods.

Gimbal bracers for me make the deal. Sometimes I like to chill and not try hard vats and hitting 90% of your shots compared ro 10% is nice 😅
They are quite nice 👌
You can hip fire weakspots with a tesla canon due how tight the aiming is thank to gimbal bracers. It's definitely a must-have for me.
I do 1 gimbal bracers, and 1 ultracite for auto axe help too

You’re not a fan of the reflective 4 star mod? Right now that one is going for tons on the markets.
Probably because it a niche item for pvp. Outside of pvp is pretty weak. Riochett and bullet shield are enough.
It’s so easy to get caps

1st Star: Overeater's
2nd Star: 2 +2 Luck and 3 Powered
3rd Star: Arm's Keeper
4th Star: 2 Rejuvenator and 3 Limit Breaking
I can use it for the whole raid, it does everything. I don't believe Poisoner's is worth it at all as you can always Stimpack spam. I don't have Funky Duds either.
Love the armor set!
Good build for a Raid.
Pretty positive rejuivators doesn't stack, so 1 is all you need
@RealSpeedySatori it stacks

Still can’t get the jet pack I’ve done the raid well over 100 times just for the item

Did 300 to get the jetpack. On the other hand the calibrated shocks dropped in under 50.

Same here:/
435 runs, jetpack last drop
I have Overeater rad resist Sentinal Tanky's and it is almost incincible.
For plans your looking at every 10 raids you get 1 mod plan and every 6 raid you get the power armour plan
where do you get 4 star legendary mods from ?
for min-max you want thru-hiker, extra 3 points in strength is essential

found one player selling Sawbones for 20k. i had 24k on me and bought it. Never seen a sawbones for sale, how do you get the 4 star mods? i've bought a choo-choo and now a sawbones but i havent had one drop for me in the wild what gives
You can only get the 4 star mod boxes from the raid.
You can also get the 4 star weapons and their plans to scrap em to learn their 4 star mods.
There’s also a chance that any Vulcan piece you get has 4 stars which again you can scrap for a chance to learn.
I love the Vulcan set but I’ve done like 200 raids and still haven’t gotten the Helmet. 😂😢
Sending some good luck your way buddy :)
damn im no where near that as im lvl 200 and have no chance alone but i got the helmet plan so i just started using the armor. unfortunately when you craft the helmet you cant make it legendary
@@MrWestTek thank you 🙏
@@eirikaustad7580 my friends have the plan but they can’t drop a helmet. It is a little upsetting but I understand.
So weird, I have gotten like 10 helmets but no jetpack, no calibrated shocks, no pounders. I have gotten 10+ of several 4 star legendary effects and not a single pounders. It's so annoying. I started just throwing 4 stars mods away
The calibrated shocks for me is a pain to get. I have done around 300 runs on the first boss solo.
Havent been able to do raids much every time I start a raids team or join a raid team that just started people just leave
Hey Mr.WestTek, Thanks for the great videos!! I think i heard that your Canadian? If so, just wanted to say hello from a fellow Canadian in Alberta!!
I need the helmet and torso got a few legs and arms but still no helmet or torso
Oh and troubleshooter/reflective for guardian grind oe/ rejuvinator for general purpose use for all other content and thru hiker for 4 3star slotuse ranfers on normal armor uy xp farm and limit break for crit vats builds in normal
is full troubleshooters worth it
You take less damage from the robot. I used troubleshooters for a long time but recently changed to overeaters. I tend to use a few more stimpaks but you get tons of them from the raid so I am ok with it. 😊
a lot of people are farming the first boss in the raid, so it can be worth it if youre one of those people and you have the mods available to do so. Overall you can just stick with overeaters imo
Does arms keeper, sentinel and belted stack?
So what is your overall damage resistance/reduction on my Hellcat I have
1024 damage resistance with bolstering
925 energy
Rads 789
Bolstering 1st star
Hazmat second star
Arms keeper 3star
Aegis 4th star
Bolstering is very underrated
The damage resistance doesnt matter much for power armor in this game. It’s the set bonus and mods for the armor.
Personally I like using thru hikers as my 3rd star to free up extra perk card slots so I don’t need to run traveling pharmacy or thru hikers
Vulcan is op absolutely amazing
It’s so hard to give up the extra carry weight with the union. I’m always too heavy seems like. Probably gonna just keep using my red rangers union
You’re hoarding too much stuff you don’t need
@@uglyfoox8964 you are right tbh. I dropped 500 basic repair kits and that seemed to help
For the second star, endurance is the only good option.
So many survivability perks under endurance and when you have 29 end or higher with the correct perks you are quite literally un touchable by anything out in the world.
I've soloed the first boss so many times, many group raids, and I SWEAR the calibrated shocks won't drop!!
I have a full set now i need calibrated shocks, emergency protocols and vats hit chance for the helmet
I was able to get all the plans for the vulcan PA even got purple headlamp light with it too. I think i did the raid less than 100 times.
i wish the hellcat had the same Carry weight as excavator whike keeping its normal set bonus and the 2% balistic dmg reduction
I just don't like using vats in pa because of the fusion core drain so im definitely putting reflective on my gear for more damage
What happens when you put 5 pieces of arms keeper on your power armour? Do you get 100%? No weight? Or does it max out at a certain percentage?
Don’t quote me on this but i’m pretty sure all carry weight reduction for anything maxes at 90% no matter what
@ ok thanks, was always wondering but couldn’t find an answer, maybe do two pieces of arms keeper for 40% and one arms keeper perk card at 45% for total of 85%
As was said, 90% is limit.
Still working on getting the cali-shocks and the jet pack 🙂↕️its a tedious grind
I have been stuck on the chest plate for so long I’ve got about 20+ runs with no chest plate. It’s an amazing set but I think t-65 is still going to be my main, I wish t-65 had a set bonus lol
Any tips to maximize stamps/xp for expiditions? I’m trying to grind for the union at level 182
Do it with two people or more. Gotta do all optional quests to get the maximum stamps.
The sensational game is the fastest and easiest to complete, but crashes a lot. But, on a good day it's good for stamps.
@@MrWestTekyea I noticed that, that’s what I have been playing the most and recently it’s been really bad.
I've run hundreds of Raids and still havent landed the jet pack :/
Full set of troubleshooters with jetpack, optimized arms and legs - Nearly 40 full raid clears, can't get a helmet.
Just need calibrated shocks. Presently sticking to my Union with Overeaters/poisoners/WWR but I want to test Vulcan with OE/Poisoners/Thru Hikers.
Sending some good luck your way! Hope you get your sets organized :)
Union is better than Vulcan.
The more cool stuff they add the more saddening it is to watch t-65 to because less and less useful. No longer the best in raw stats and has no passive ability makes it almost worth less than just regular common power armor. They really need to make t-65 have some sort of passive.
I have built 4 full sets of Vulcan pa and all I need is the calibrated shocks I love this armor but union is still king imo
Can’t deal with the hit to carry weight. Union is still king in my opinion
i doubt it but i hope in the future 76 does a cross over with 40k for the space marine armors and diff skins lol power armors is basicly as bulky as a space marine lol
I have an union power amor with full vanguard for 1st star, with 4 powerd and 1 luck in and star and 3 is a mixed stuff and 4 a set of reflective and 3 argis
Let me explain to you why Vulcan is broken. Ultracite Bracers. Ultracite Bracers makes it so ALL attacks deal radiation and poison damage + poison DOT (this is clearly a bug). This makes Vipers the most consistent damage dealing 4* effect in the game. For the robot itself both of its Limbs (The Shield and Torso), count as a Torse rather than an Apendage. Because of this Pin-Pointers (which currently gives a multiplicative rather than additive) damage bonus, does not apply to the robot. So you will be dealing the most damage to the robot using Ultracite Bracers with a Vipers weapon. For the snake, Pin-Pointers will deal more damage to the snake itself, but the tail counts as a separate enemy and not an appendage, so Pin-Pointers wont count towards it meaning that overall you will still deal more DPS with Vipers with Ultracite Bracers. Also, because Ultracite Bracers will deal radiation damage, the Vulcan Squad in stage 3 have 0 Rad Resistance, meaning you will melt their health bar with any weapon so long as their shields are down.
easy solo for the EN06. vamps, ricochet, stand still and spam stims while shooting once in awhile, then proceed with the auto axe. so simple. no need for over eaters either.
also, luck be with me, I acquired pounder's on my 2nd ever solo 😁
I just downloaded this game and some random gave me a full set of Vulcan armor and 30k caps
@@icedonut2171 cap
Can’t even trade Vulcan so nice tried
Things that didn't happen.
How do you feel about tankys for it
Does it even work I never noticed any change to DR
@gordiausprime614 with a full set it's supposed to be a thousand DR standing still
I'm having the worst luck getting the calibrated shocks...ugh
Sending some good luck your way :)
@MrWestTek thanks, and thank you for the help from your guides and tips
Ultracite bracers are lying and it also applies to ranged attacks, this allows you to use the vipers
yes it is, video over
Rejuvenators doesn’t keep up with damage. Not worth missing out on better mod.
Calibrated shocks should just be included on all power armor. It sucks to instantly feel weaker the second you put on power armor, unless you use 6 perk points and mods to ALMOST feel as powerful as wearing secret service deep pockets, big backpack, and chemists mod...
It almost feels like this meta was put in place to push everyone to be a pistol ghoul in the next update.
Next update they're giving us +5 (or 6?) Strength whenever you enter power armour to help with that.
Edit: Or maybe 10? 🤷♂️ Big if so.
I heard it was 10? You never know with the PTS....
@@jason2077I believe it’s 10
. I have a decent build I think and I’m a level 352. I’ve even joined raids but it seems like everyone dies. I don’t understand how these people make it look so easy.
Not that hard to acquire as every stage almost regularly gives you a random Vulcan piece.
