A little side note for people wanting something to do to kill that minute down in the basement. Loot the circular cabinets as they have LOADS of Technical Data. I have being doing this to kill the minute and it yields great xp once you turn it all in :) Another great guide from my hero MrWestTek
I must be rather unlucky with the technical docs as I only came across several in my previous casual exp runs - maybe going back too soon or just bad luck.
@@EastCoastTravel You can bring it to the Brotherhood Scribe (forgot her name) for item rewards. You can store them so you could theoretically farm item drops for individual ones, but sadly no exp as this may have been removed, at least on PC. I believe MrWestTek covered it before - I think it was to do BoS PA paint jobs if I recall correctly.
I think twist works bit.. twisty.. with cola perk, as far I know, it dont give x3 effect but three effects instead, so it is still +2 intelligence but you get two other stats raised too, unless it was changed really, I remember it working that way really

Gotta burn to 100 so all the weekly and dailies ahead are all for that 150 grind. Hopefully next season we’ll have some more cool items. Get it all done on the first day. Thank you so much for showing me the way. Lvl 287 / season lvl 52 Hoping to burn that to 300 / 100 by the end of the week.
This game isn’t for everyone. It’s a niche thing that will eventually get shut down. Be prepared for that reality. If you bought a lot of stuff for this game, it’s possible you will never see any of it again.
Same. It's just too much setup, prep, and front-loaded grinding. Even with a level 150+ character I don't have access to 2/3 of the stuff necessary to maximize my West Tec runs. Plus, I just find grinding these areas to be a mind-numbing chore. It makes me not want to play at all.
Yea, I have a friend that does west tek grind and I salute her dedication. She can go hours. I'd be bored to death and it'll kill my love for the game Honestly, I'd prefer a daily ops or expedition grind because it feels like it has more variation
It's not that hard to be honest, instead of mindless playing the game, just plan ahead with what you are looking for. The hardest thing to get is the unyielding set, but if you are a lvl 150+ player like you said it, you probably have it already, you don't need a perfect matching set with intelligence in the second star like Mr westek, a regular one will do the job, and you also don't need a quad railway rifle, you can do it with any weapon. The rest is just consumables that you need to farm. It's waaaaaaay easier than playing the game consistently everyday and completing the missions of the scoreboard, I work and study, for me it's way easier do this in a weekend and be done with it
I feel ya. But last Scoreboard I started implementing some of these things (Berry Mentats, Brain Bombs, Cranberry Relish, Derby Machine, and eventually a second set of armor with +1 INT) and saw a major jump in xp. Just started using Nuka Grenades and, while they don't 1 shot Super Mutants, they still do hella damage and speed up gunning through them. I hope to get a set of Unyielding with +1 INT as well, and then I'll start delving into tweaking a build around that. Grinding West Tek is boring as hell, but I just buff up, commit to 1 hour, and later on, repeat if I am in the mood.
Thank you for making this video, I’ve been running westek since coming back to this game but I felt there was a more effective way of getting more xp out of it
I just managed to hit 100 on the board without paying any money - in no small part due to this and your previous guides. I just wanted to say thank you for providing such invaluable information for no-lifers like me who want the shinies :D
There is so much to this game, I’ve only been playing for about 5 or 6 weeks and only level 87 and still trying to figure it all out. I’m not an avid gamer, my usual games are super Mario brothers, Minecraft and now this. But I’m also old and probably a lot slower than the young guys. How old? Our first home video game was pong, then Atari. I felt like a boss when the nes came out and I got one. I watched this because I’m having fallout withdrawals because the stupid hdmi port broke.

I finally got round to trying this myself tonight (I was a level 234, Rank 63). After just under two hours of this with all the XP buffs im now level 300, Rank 74). i was solo so i reset it using the basement instead of a friend. Farming the xp buff materials was a bit of a slog, especially buying up all the nuka colas from bubbles in whitespring, i gave up on frag grenades in the end (I had 250 grenades, worked out i needed about 500 for level 100) but realised the super mutants drop them quite often, so gathered about 50 in my 2 hour grinding session by doing a quick "loot nearby" before jumping into the elevator to reset. I know people were complaining about it not being noob friendly (i would still consider myself to be a noob, since i didnt have all 6 legendary slots unlocked when i started, let alone all cards at level 4) but if you stick to this build as best you can it works really well. It does feel slow in terms of ranking up S.C.O.R.E but it is literally the only way to do it outside dailies, and im going to benefit A LOT from these levels and perk cards. For videos like this in future would you be able to post the build you're using on a build planner site and link us to it? Makes it a bit easier than freezing the video to check out the perks. Thanks for the guide!
This is crazy I can’t imagine the whole seasons in a day little alone in 8 hrs😂love the commitment tho seriously !! And the Nuka grenade is the best !! 3:59
Soooo if you dont really like to grind here you go: Get yourself a Nuke-a-Cola collectron with gold bouillions, Keep in mind that you want to pick up some fragmantation grenades while you play :) Every time u go to your C.A.M.P. collect the nuke a cola's and once you have about 60 of them. Turn m into nuke-a-grenades and you have yourself a one hour run where u can fully boost yourself for that time. And repeat :) This way you are not stuck to a grind but can reap the benefits every now and then to still be able to complete the season easily :)
Yeah that collectron gives so much of all the different NC’s it’s crazy and they stack up fast. It gives cranberry too so I keep cola nut on and get another 4% xp boost from those. Plus it’s worth adding to what you said about the nuka grenades…make sure you have max out super duper on and make em one at a time to get a handful of extra ones. Always nice making a couple dozen and seeing an extra 8-10 more on the stack.
honestly I find rather annoying that this game is basically favoring "low health" builds so much, I get that being close to edge of being dead in one shot by roach should reward you but really, literally any guide on doing anything fast or best is "get low health gear" first.. not critique of guide for sure, rather of how game is set, also there is still basically only one place to XP grind effectively, it was nerfed as far I know but still there is not really alternative as effective as that at all, maybe comparable is radiation rumble (I hope it is correct one of radiation events, one with ghouls) but it is very luck based to get that specific event and not three people with instakilling weapons taking out every ghoul coming, and someone can be kind to count what is percentage change of getting that event specifically, some expeditions got some loopholes for somewhat XP grinding option but not really as fast as westek I guess
Just started doing this like 20 mins ago using the new railway instead and a lil less intelligent but I have lvl up 10 times now , Love the vids Man keep it up
Not sure if anyone else mentioned, but another tip is at the security door before going down the elevator, you can squat in the middle of the door to prevent it from closing. I am bad at aiming, this is what I do so I have plenty of time to aim my grenade toss without the door closing on me IF I choose to run out after tossing the grenade
Looks great. Would be better if Playstation let me stay in the game got kicked out 8 times today . It's ridiculous. Bethesda or Sony needs to fix this bug .
Agree, I’m getting crashes non stop but I’ve found it really helps to turn your PlayStation off instead of rest mode I seen this commented on reddit and at least for me it seems to have helped
I used the slug bug with flamer for west Tek, So fun to use. These creators always make it sound like an easy task, but half of us don't have half the cards or plans unlocked. Sure its easy at that high of level. They have hundreds of hours worth of cards and plans unlocked than the majority of us do.
To be fair what noobs are grinding like this? They're off doing main quest line ect, chances are by the time they get to this point they will have Nuka nade and an instigating weapon, any unyielding pieces will do.
I'm currently still waiting on the double score weekend. But I am crafting nuka grenades as fast as I can. I did a bunch of WestTek as practice over the weekend, and the most annoying thing was dying to my own damn grenades, because that resets both your rested xp and your rad level.
Another amazing video! Tried last night with The Fixer and not as effective, I’m only level 130 and don’t have the legendaries fleshed out, still viable but takes a bit longer. Keep up the amazing work and content
I dunno how anyone grinds a scoreboard when my stash box alone has me unable to go there to get any actual loot cause I’m full up from weapons from events how fallout have there grind setup, I come every two days or so have a break and go back to grinding properly on Warframe in between till the new fallout resets 😆
i sell basically everything i dont use and have perks that reduce weapon weight so when my stash is too full i just keep my inventory full of guns until i can clear it out
to fix your health you can also just take the radaway and if you misstime the elevator button you can use the toxic goo from the green pool to get your rads up
Great video as always I know thus technique has helped me thro alot of levels as always bro keep up the amazing work and look forward to seeing what you come out with next. Also looking forward to your next stream enjoy just shootin the breeze with everyone.
If you are going down into the basement make sure to check the round filing cabinets for Technical Data for the BOS There are 13 of them down there so a possible 13 per day while grinding levels/score.
I just recently started playing but with your help I’m level 111 so thank you! I’m kinda sad that I’m late because that S.P.E.C.I.A.L tent seems super fun though
Does someone else have this weird bug when the starting point of the green trajectory of 'fire in the hole' is shown way above your head? I haven't found any of that on the web yet, and don't know how to fix it.
When you go into Westtek, you only have to take out the first mutant using crits to fill your critical meter. Throw a nade at the furthest pillar to the right inside the water containment room. Throw the 2nd nade to the right of the furthest wall, pass the bathrooms. The other 2 locations are correct. When you use the elevator, you need to travel to the door with the red grid in order to reset the mutants topside, you don't need to wait around. You can also exit the building & wait 30s to reset the mutants inside, so Throw down a tent, outside to the right. Also, you can use Steven Scarberry for 5% xp & 4 lunchboxes+4 scout banners is ideal
All videos i watch seem to miss this. Down the elevator at the end where u cant continue, throw a nuka grenade on the computer console in the corner (almost straight ahead when entering the final room) for extra XP. If u have nades to waste sometimes you can get a bit more XP by throwing an extra one at the glass to the left (when entering the final room)
I didnt know the granades trigger the instigating from the melee weapon. Maybe do a synergy video for this and others? As always excellent work. Cheers!!
Previously I appreciated this kind of guide, but didn't utilise it, as I'd often end up finishing previous seasons with weeks (sometimes even a month) to spare. I didn't even get to the "Repeatables" section of the last season (But luckily managed to at least unlock most of the endgame rewards), so I'm thinking I'll need to make use of your guide this time, as Bethesda have given me some serious FOMO now. 😅
I need this, currently level 145 trying to get my legendary specials, I need so many darn perk coins and like 50 levels at a time to get the next slot, it's crazy!
I love these videos, I really do, but in reality all my builds need "Batteries included" and "Good with salt" otherwise gameplay becomes too disruptive. Just like they all need "Starched Genes" and "Class Freak".
I just hit 100 today, 1 month after season start using the repeatable, but mostly dailys and 25% boosted daily/weekly/daily and boosted daily/daily/weekly challenge combos. I don't really have the resources or stats to pull that off, but I managed with this method, I expect to hit 150 in another few weeks.
Hey MrWestTek, small improvement on the build section, you might have more dmg and thus less resources you use if you shift around your Perception Perks to drop one more point of commando and take one point of concentrated fire. The headshot damage would be greater than the 5% gained from a level 2 commando vs level 1 command.
I think it's time for a new XP farm build guide in light of Legendary Crafting. The +2 INT on armor pieces and the +3 INT on weapons. Also much easier to get an unyielding sentinel set now
what sucks about this method is u need a very specific loadout and so many timed buffs to make it work properly if not youre just wasting grenades on enemies u got to finish off anyways
I wish there was more in deep details of the stackables items you can use sometimes I overwrite a lore powerful one with a weaker for example can I use backwoodsman 6 and an xp while in a team magazine together? Canned meat stew and tasty squirrel stew together? That’s where I get all mixed up with all the buffs without loosing other buffs
Derby Machine I got free from completing all objectives on an expedition. You can only get free plan once a week and it is random, but my friends and I all seem to have gotten that plan early on.
I grinded up the tent last night. 8 hours? Geez, took me a week. With all the buffs. Lunchboxes. Drugs. Furniture items. Full team. Food buffs. Cards. Unyielding. +5 int on all armor. Nuka nades. 8 hours? No way.
Doesn't Backwoodsman 6 work for Herbivore foods as well? It just says "cooked food" and Duchess has standard herb foods on her list of foods it expects. I assume it doesn't stack with Live Love 3, but just confirm it is either-or for herb right?
Yes, when you're playing alone, cuz all the super mutants you'll be killing with your grenades won't be damaged yet. No, when playing together, the tagger will have done some damage to them before you so I think you should equip a different effect then.
Can get another +2 INT with Nuka Twist. Some people in the comments are getting lost in the sauce because they think they need ALL of the stuff listed in the video to get started but that isn't the case. Some of the items in the video are really essential and some are just wringing out that extra 5% min/maxing.
i just Tested it for myself im by far not as good equiped nor have i all the buffs and stuff im still working on everything but still its working wonders it makes Westtek so much faster holy moly. I just dont use the Elevator to respawn the Mutants since everytime i do use the Elevator the upper level buggs out (playing on PC) like there are no walls and stuff so i just leave Westtek wait for like 30-45 seconds and reenter works just fine for me
I ran Westtek so many times in one season I memorized every detail in sure some persons that use this grind method could even draw it without looking twice...😅
@@Dukestboy96 the events are lackluster after a certain amount of time... I play since release and honestly they bore me as much to sleep as Westtek does...
For the west tech section, I thought the elevator trick was patched and so had to have a friend / second account in order to get the mutants to respawn
Just tried it on PC. Went down the elevator, killed them all. Waited 5 real life minutes (watching the clock to make sure), then went back up. Didnt work unfortunately. They were all still dead. :/
@@sketchyunicornslab They respawn fine for me. I just go down the elevator, kill them all, take their ammo, make sure you go all the way to the last room, come back, back up the elevator and they're all respawned level 100 every time. I'm on PC too.
Great info as always. Thanks! May I ask one (noob) question or two? I'm looking for info on (fair) prices for the items in my vendor. Got a tip where I can look them up? And doesn't Radaway (undiluted) mess up mutations? Or was that Rad-X (undiluted).
u can use radaway without any problem if you have the perk Starched Genes if im not mistaken. its in the Luck Category. or u can use brahmin milk as an alternative and nuka grape to remove rads without removing mutations incase u haven't unlock the perk. using rad-x will surpress the mutation for a short time
One question :I don't get the 14xx damage numbers although I have equipped demolition expert max level I have the instigating weapon and nerd rage active. is it maybe the high intelligence that adds to explosiv damage as str adds to melee damage. How do you go even lower with the health to have more from adrenal reaction? Sadly so I have to throw two grenades most of the time to kill all stuff... also in the golf club... Found out: I did not adrenaline enough. But with max adrenaline still max 1100 damage???
Do you have this video, but for a Level 50 or 100? Also, having trouble with the reset using a second account. When they are leader, they go in first, I follow. I killed everything. I leave, they leave. Promote me to leader. I go in, they follow, I kill everything. They leave, I leave. I promote them back to leader, we go in. Everything is already still dead... Didnt reset. What am I missing?
@@SCP-Vorkath I ended up figuring this out and it was on me. Both accounts need to finish the Westtech "Learn the secrets of westtech" mission for it to work.
Don’t even try this till you’re over level 200 (or at least 100) Till then just relax and have fun and see what guns you like to use and how you like to play
@@slicingonions4398 I'm well over lv 300 and it's still way to much to keep track of. Bobble heads, magazines, brain bombs, cranberry relish, sleep bonus, intelligence boost, unyielding armor which is hard to get let alone unyielding with +1 intelligence, Berry mentats, mothman tome, nerd rage, and night person perk card,probably missing some but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Keeping on top of all that while running west tech is not easy.
@@permabull5885 Tbh I've been doing westek for awhile and you don't really need all the things in the list. I typically just go for the brain bombs, cranberry relish, bed rest and the mini game stuff and I still level up pretty quickly. It's mainly on what you'd prefer to get to start leveling quickly and what not to get to make sure it's not overwhelming. Though everyone is different of course
I agree there is not much that I want or need from it haven't seen a decent weapon on the scoreboard season I am now level 62 in game 37 on scoreboard.
Bruh. Starts out with a bunch of cards I don't have and does a bloody build which I hate. Great video, but I guess I gotta sit this one out. I also don't have easy access to the consumables and the camp ally. All I want is to get to 95. Maybe I will make up a lot of ground this weekend during double score

Yeah that collectron gives so much of all the different NC’s it’s crazy and they stack up fast. It gives cranberry too so I keep cola nut on and get another 4% xp boost from those. Plus it’s worth adding to what you said about the nuka grenades…make sure you have max out super duper on and make em one at a time to get a handful of extra ones. Always nice making a couple dozen and seeing an extra 8-10 more on the stack.
so do i need nuka grenades or nuka quantum? Or do both work just fine?
Cheers
@@xavozz7839 I believe only the regular ones go trough walls
Love the radaway trick, that's just really helpful in general thank you!
Glad to help! Always nuking myself LOL
Thank you for your service Mr West Tek you are the best!!!
Thank you kindly
honestly I find rather annoying that this game is basically favoring "low health" builds so much, I get that being close to edge of being dead in one shot by roach should reward you but really, literally any guide on doing anything fast or best is "get low health gear" first.. not critique of guide for sure, rather of how game is set, also there is still basically only one place to XP grind effectively, it was nerfed as far I know but still there is not really alternative as effective as that at all, maybe comparable is radiation rumble (I hope it is correct one of radiation events, one with ghouls) but it is very luck based to get that specific event and not three people with instakilling weapons taking out every ghoul coming, and someone can be kind to count what is percentage change of getting that event specifically, some expeditions got some loopholes for somewhat XP grinding option but not really as fast as westek I guess
Thank you for all you do, it is greatly appreciated and used to our benefit. have a GREAT day
Interesting. I can't do that particular setup, but the principle is there. Good info.
Just started doing this like 20 mins ago using the new railway instead and a lil less intelligent but I have lvl up 10 times now , Love the vids Man keep it up
Another Great video, thank you for this info I will be sure to give it a try 😄
Please do!
9:09 SKIP TO HERE FOR THE GUIDE AFTER BUFF EXPLANATIONS
Remember, there's a guaranteed leadership bobble inside the trailer at "The Trading Post" in the new region.
Thanks for that. I had no idea. 👊🏻
Back with another banger!! Doing gods work! Thank you
Needed this info BADLY
Genuinely hope it helps buddy :)
Not sure if anyone else mentioned, but another tip is at the security door before going down the elevator, you can squat in the middle of the door to prevent it from closing. I am bad at aiming, this is what I do so I have plenty of time to aim my grenade toss without the door closing on me IF I choose to run out after tossing the grenade
Looks great. Would be better if Playstation let me stay in the game got kicked out 8 times today . It's ridiculous. Bethesda or Sony needs to fix this bug .
Agree, I’m getting crashes non stop but I’ve found it really helps to turn your PlayStation off instead of rest mode
I seen this commented on reddit and at least for me it seems to have helped
You ain't lying they could learn alot from rockstar..so annoying
Private servers crash A LOT less than public on PS5. I crash about 10 times a day on public, but only once or twice on a private.
Dupers are force crashing the game to copy items
The amount of times I crash is just disgusting. I'm so over it!
I used the slug bug with flamer for west Tek, So fun to use. These creators always make it sound like an easy task, but half of us don't have half the cards or plans unlocked. Sure its easy at that high of level. They have hundreds of hours worth of cards and plans unlocked than the majority of us do.
To be fair what noobs are grinding like this? They're off doing main quest line ect, chances are by the time they get to this point they will have Nuka nade and an instigating weapon, any unyielding pieces will do.
I'm currently still waiting on the double score weekend. But I am crafting nuka grenades as fast as I can.
I did a bunch of WestTek as practice over the weekend, and the most annoying thing was dying to my own damn grenades, because that resets both your rested xp and your rad level.
Double score weekend doesn't affect the repeatable mission iirc.
@@TyaIl Well.... crap. There goes that plan, then.
Another amazing video! Tried last night with The Fixer and not as effective, I’m only level 130 and don’t have the legendaries fleshed out, still viable but takes a bit longer. Keep up the amazing work and content
I really apreacite this guide I’m a carnivore but I’m def going to try this with the 2bl score weekend
Have fun :)
I truly had no idea that the grenades would clear the entire area! I have been running through shooting everything. Good lord!
I dunno how anyone grinds a scoreboard when my stash box alone has me unable to go there to get any actual loot cause I’m full up from weapons from events how fallout have there grind setup, I come every two days or so have a break and go back to grinding properly on Warframe in between till the new fallout resets 😆
mule characters, especially if you have a second account. easy on PC, harder on console.
i sell basically everything i dont use and have perks that reduce weapon weight so when my stash is too full i just keep my inventory full of guns until i can clear it out
to fix your health you can also just take the radaway and if you misstime the elevator button you can use the toxic goo from the green pool to get your rads up
Thank you for a well done guide 👍
Double score coming up, thanks mate.
Great point!
Double score doesn’t effect the repeatable
@@damashu4658 Really!
@@JACKALz yes…it never has to my knowledge
Yes 👏🏻
Great video as always I know thus technique has helped me thro alot of levels as always bro keep up the amazing work and look forward to seeing what you come out with next. Also looking forward to your next stream enjoy just shootin the breeze with everyone.
Yeah man! I enjoy chatting with you guys too
spot on guide pal
Thank you :)
This covered everything any other video you made about this topic that ive been missing. Much appreciated you a real one! Thank you!
If you are going down into the basement make sure to check the round filing cabinets for Technical Data for the BOS There are 13 of them down there so a possible 13 per day while grinding levels/score.
I use Backwoodsman 6 and it works great with herbivore too (brain bombs + cranberry relish)
I just recently started playing but with your help I’m level 111 so thank you! I’m kinda sad that I’m late because that S.P.E.C.I.A.L tent seems super fun though
Nerdy and I like it.
Does someone else have this weird bug when the starting point of the green trajectory of 'fire in the hole' is shown way above your head? I haven't found any of that on the web yet, and don't know how to fix it.
When you go into Westtek, you only have to take out the first mutant using crits to fill your critical meter. Throw a nade at the furthest pillar to the right inside the water containment room. Throw the 2nd nade to the right of the furthest wall, pass the bathrooms. The other 2 locations are correct. When you use the elevator, you need to travel to the door with the red grid in order to reset the mutants topside, you don't need to wait around. You can also exit the building & wait 30s to reset the mutants inside, so Throw down a tent, outside to the right. Also, you can use Steven Scarberry for 5% xp & 4 lunchboxes+4 scout banners is ideal
All videos i watch seem to miss this.
Down the elevator at the end where u cant continue, throw a nuka grenade on the computer console in the corner (almost straight ahead when entering the final room) for extra XP.
If u have nades to waste sometimes you can get a bit more XP by throwing an extra one at the glass to the left (when entering the final room)
Me and my buddy blew up your base about 8 months ago love the vids
I didnt know the granades trigger the instigating from the melee weapon. Maybe do a synergy video for this and others? As always excellent work. Cheers!!
Previously I appreciated this kind of guide, but didn't utilise it, as I'd often end up finishing previous seasons with weeks (sometimes even a month) to spare. I didn't even get to the "Repeatables" section of the last season (But luckily managed to at least unlock most of the endgame rewards), so I'm thinking I'll need to make use of your guide this time, as Bethesda have given me some serious FOMO now. 😅
Not only instigatong works with grenades any first star on a weapons is also applied to the grenade.
I need this, currently level 145 trying to get my legendary specials, I need so many darn perk coins and like 50 levels at a time to get the next slot, it's crazy!
Love hearing this kind of attitude! At level 145, you will get far in this game my friend. I'll make a beginner guide for this soon as well ;)
@@MrWestTek thanks! Just incorporated mutations into my commando build, my next step is to go bloodied 😅
@@phdtvproductions you got this 100%
I love these videos, I really do, but in reality all my builds need "Batteries included" and "Good with salt" otherwise gameplay becomes too disruptive. Just like they all need "Starched Genes" and "Class Freak".
Wow thank you this is very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, cheers!
Thanks buddy :)
I just hit 100 today, 1 month after season start using the repeatable, but mostly dailys and 25% boosted daily/weekly/daily and boosted daily/daily/weekly challenge combos. I don't really have the resources or stats to pull that off, but I managed with this method, I expect to hit 150 in another few weeks.
Hey MrWestTek, small improvement on the build section, you might have more dmg and thus less resources you use if you shift around your Perception Perks to drop one more point of commando and take one point of concentrated fire. The headshot damage would be greater than the 5% gained from a level 2 commando vs level 1 command.
I think it's time for a new XP farm build guide in light of Legendary Crafting. The +2 INT on armor pieces and the +3 INT on weapons. Also much easier to get an unyielding sentinel set now
what sucks about this method is u need a very specific loadout and so many timed buffs to make it work properly if not youre just wasting grenades on enemies u got to finish off anyways
@MrWestTek if you hold the map button you can pull up the team menu without have to go to you map.
The XP master has hit again! 👏🏼
LOL
Awesome vid boss! Question what is your quick boy color scheme it’s so fire
I wish there was more in deep details of the stackables items you can use sometimes I overwrite a lore powerful one with a weaker for example can I use backwoodsman 6 and an xp while in a team magazine together? Canned meat stew and tasty squirrel stew together? That’s where I get all mixed up with all the buffs without loosing other buffs
Derby Machine I got free from completing all objectives on an expedition. You can only get free plan once a week and it is random, but my friends and I all seem to have gotten that plan early on.
Can you stack a INT bonus from Nuka-Cola Twist (boosted by Cola Nut perk) on top of everything shown here?
Yes
I grinded up the tent last night. 8 hours? Geez, took me a week. With all the buffs. Lunchboxes. Drugs. Furniture items. Full team. Food buffs. Cards. Unyielding. +5 int on all armor. Nuka nades. 8 hours? No way.
You did something wrong then. You can do it solo in 8 hours without +5 int from armor.
For those that have done this, how long has it taken to get to lvl 100 on the scoreboard?
I wish there was a guide to do this as a lvl 100 that doesn’t have all the weapons armor etc,
jump in a bed and go run west tek all the mutants drop huge xp
Rusty pick sells random 1 star armor at 15 scrip each, you can get a very basic unyielding set that way.
Thank you I learned alot more about getting XP.
Does brain fungus soup stack with brain bombs? That's an extra 4 INT for 30 mins if so
It does not.
@@MrWestTek wack, but thank you!
You don't have to weight in the basement you can just fast travel outside when you're in the basement and they'll still respond
Why people like you are not in Fallout dev team? Amazing showcase
Cheers man 🍻
He would be forced to Nerf everything he showcases
Doesn't Backwoodsman 6 work for Herbivore foods as well? It just says "cooked food" and Duchess has standard herb foods on her list of foods it expects. I assume it doesn't stack with Live Love 3, but just confirm it is either-or for herb right?
perfect, all i need is 6 special cards fully maxed and two god rolls! (this is a joke, good luck to those also trying this method)
My legendary perc for perception has been broke from the start it doesn't allow me to add cards and the number doesn't change
You can't go over 15perk points. So if you already have 15 perception before your legendary then u can't add more cards.
@rodzilla617 I'm aware. My base perception is 12 and the legendary isn't giving the 2pts it's claiming
@@shuntzilla1596 try to unequip and reequip it?
Hope you're having a great day boss and appreciate the video helps alot
Glad to help, hope I covered everything and thanks for watching
Is there a reason for using Instigating instead of Bloodied on the "grenade-weapon"? Great video, love the attention to detail :)
Yes, when you're playing alone, cuz all the super mutants you'll be killing with your grenades won't be damaged yet.
No, when playing together, the tagger will have done some damage to them before you so I think you should equip a different effect then.
W video as always trying this tonight
Level 300+ and didnt realize instigating works with grenades. Just learned that a vamp weapon with ricochet heals you too
Can get another +2 INT with Nuka Twist.
Some people in the comments are getting lost in the sauce because they think they need ALL of the stuff listed in the video to get started but that isn't the case. Some of the items in the video are really essential and some are just wringing out that extra 5% min/maxing.
i just Tested it for myself im by far not as good equiped nor have i all the buffs and stuff im still working on everything but still its working wonders it makes Westtek so much faster holy moly. I just dont use the Elevator to respawn the Mutants since everytime i do use the Elevator the upper level buggs out (playing on PC) like there are no walls and stuff so i just leave Westtek wait for like 30-45 seconds and reenter works just fine for me
I ran Westtek so many times in one season I memorized every detail in sure some persons that use this grind method could even draw it without looking twice...😅
This may sound crazy but I get too distracted by the amount of good events that pop up. How do people find time to run west Tek haha
@@Dukestboy96 the events are lackluster after a certain amount of time... I play since release and honestly they bore me as much to sleep as Westtek does...
I always get killed by that 2nd Nade even on the other side of the center machine, even when I dont throw it "close" to the door.
Repeatable challenge is definitely going to require like 50k in future seasons or have the reward reduced lol
I happen to catch you on the same server as me the other day MrWestTek
Glad we got to play together buddy :)
It honestly made my day
For the west tech section, I thought the elevator trick was patched and so had to have a friend / second account in order to get the mutants to respawn
Just tried it on PC. Went down the elevator, killed them all. Waited 5 real life minutes (watching the clock to make sure), then went back up.
Didnt work unfortunately. They were all still dead. :/
@@sketchyunicornslab They respawn fine for me. I just go down the elevator, kill them all, take their ammo, make sure you go all the way to the last room, come back, back up the elevator and they're all respawned level 100 every time. I'm on PC too.
I did this for 30 or 20 mins and i was getting the normal score amount but after 40 mins i was getting less and less score per run. Anyone knows why?
Great info as always. Thanks! May I ask one (noob) question or two? I'm looking for info on (fair) prices for the items in my vendor. Got a tip where I can look them up? And doesn't Radaway (undiluted) mess up mutations? Or was that Rad-X (undiluted).
u can use radaway without any problem if you have the perk Starched Genes if im not mistaken. its in the Luck Category. or u can use brahmin milk as an alternative and nuka grape to remove rads without removing mutations incase u haven't unlock the perk. using rad-x will surpress the mutation for a short time
One question :I don't get the 14xx damage numbers although I have equipped demolition expert max level I have the instigating weapon and nerd rage active. is it maybe the high intelligence that adds to explosiv damage as str adds to melee damage.
How do you go even lower with the health to have more from adrenal reaction? Sadly so I have to throw two grenades most of the time to kill all stuff... also in the golf club... Found out: I did not adrenaline enough. But with max adrenaline still max 1100 damage???
Great video, thanks
No problem 👍
I’m using the same setup, scratch a few xp boost items, and I can’t kill them with 1 grenade. They have about 5-10% health left..
Do you have this video, but for a Level 50 or 100?
Also, having trouble with the reset using a second account.
When they are leader, they go in first, I follow. I killed everything. I leave, they leave.
Promote me to leader. I go in, they follow, I kill everything. They leave, I leave.
I promote them back to leader, we go in. Everything is already still dead... Didnt reset.
What am I missing?
yesh not working for me either
@@SCP-Vorkath I ended up figuring this out and it was on me.
Both accounts need to finish the Westtech "Learn the secrets of westtech" mission for it to work.
This is just way too much to do.
West tek has been great for xp farming for aure though
Don't do it then
Don’t even try this till you’re over level 200 (or at least 100) Till then just relax and have fun and see what guns you like to use and how you like to play
@@slicingonions4398 I'm well over lv 300 and it's still way to much to keep track of. Bobble heads, magazines, brain bombs, cranberry relish, sleep bonus, intelligence boost, unyielding armor which is hard to get let alone unyielding with +1 intelligence, Berry mentats, mothman tome, nerd rage, and night person perk card,probably missing some but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Keeping on top of all that while running west tech is not easy.
@@permabull5885 Tbh I've been doing westek for awhile and you don't really need all the things in the list. I typically just go for the brain bombs, cranberry relish, bed rest and the mini game stuff and I still level up pretty quickly. It's mainly on what you'd prefer to get to start leveling quickly and what not to get to make sure it's not overwhelming. Though everyone is different of course
I agree there is not much that I want or need from it haven't seen a decent weapon on the scoreboard season I am now level 62 in game 37 on scoreboard.
You know you don’t have to wait one minute once you go down the elevator. I clear the 6 mutants and fast travel back to westtek and they all respawn.
Bruh. Starts out with a bunch of cards I don't have and does a bloody build which I hate. Great video, but I guess I gotta sit this one out. I also don't have easy access to the consumables and the camp ally. All I want is to get to 95. Maybe I will make up a lot of ground this weekend during double score
Why no Canned Meat Stew from the Feed The People event? Is there a reason to not use it?
Fun fact: the cremator fire balls will track and follow VATS enemies.
Did they fix the 'switching party leader' thing? My friend and I are doing that but it's not resetting
