Yeah, my jetpack is bugging out as well, it keeps detaching from my suit when I dismount and it bounces around when I walk in third person mode.

As for the cores, I buy them from traders, nick them from fusion reactors and generally pick up everything I come across.

edit.

Also, I play on easy because I am a tourist who prefers to take it all in.

I'm sorry, it was impossible for me to resist (filthy casual)

(I kid, I kid )

I'm going to make a sniper variant plasma rifle as soon as I can, then I'm going to name it "Kindness" and kill everyone with Kindness!

I hate Plasma guns in this game, projectiles are way too slow.

The random encounters I have are getting ridiculous.
Went to kill some gangsters as the Silver Shroud. Midst battle the Brotherhood of Steel showed up. 3 guys in power armor and (laser) miniguns. And they absolutely wrecked them. Then I ran around a corner and there was a Deathclaw. Needless to say.. it got wrecked in a mere second by them. They show up at the bests of times.

Running into a legendary Deathclaw in the middle of the Glowing Sea without a fatman and a hazmat suit on ain't fun.

I'm rather annoyed with how they worked out single shot versus full auto in this game. Full auto weapons are simply not worth taking, no matter how much you mod them.

One mod I am looking forward to is when somebody writes a script so that unnamed settlers have their name changed to match their currently assigned jobs.

It already happens when you assign one to a supply line (their name changes to "provisioner") so it shouldn't be too difficult to set it so that someone assigned to crops is renamed as a "farmer", someone assigned to watch towers/guard posts is a "guard" etc.

I’m having trouble with my main settlement at Sanctuary.. for some reason the happiness keeps dropping way down, and I don’t know why? I read that you need more than enough food, water, beds, defense and power for each resident and I did that.. like 2x as much. Yet, the number keeps going down. I had it at 70 at 1 point, now it’s 35.. but every time I go there it says happiness is rising. Do I need to plug in more TVs that don’t show anything but a stand by message? Make more furniture to sit on? Build vendors (I don’t think I can yet)? Do I need to give people jobs? I have a few posted as guards and farmers, but probably half are just wandering around aimlessly.

or does it keep dropping because it’s getting attacked when I’m away and I don’t get a message about it? Do I need tons and tons of defense? I read somewhere that defenses and other things get damaged when you get attacked and you need to repair them, but I nothing seems to need any repairs at all.

You might need trader stalls (not armor/weapon stalls however, I think it's just clothing/chem/trader/etc that affect happiness)

Agreed I really want to see this as well. Honestly the provisioner needed the name change the least as it is followed around by a luggage loaded brahman.

In the meantime there are some visual identifiers you can use,
someone set to "Guard" will either be standing on their guard post OR have their weapon in their hand even with no enemies around.
Someone set to "Farmer" is a bit trickier but still doable. When you highlight them (green outline) in "Workshop mode" if they are assigned to crops you will see the crops they are assigned to highlighted in green as well.
I just got to the point to adding traders to my settlements but I would assume someone assigned to a trade booth would have a similar highlight the booth as the farmer/crops highlight.

What would be cool is to do random name generation (shouldn't be too hard to mod in if you just nick a generator, or even just make a large list of first and last names to do it yourslef) and then have their job in brackets afters. Like "George Stetson [Guard]" or something like that.

If you build a dinner bell in a settlement and then ring it, all the inhabitants will gather round.

Wrong type of RPG. You are thinking of this

So whats the coolest legendary/unique item you guys have found so far?

I think the best one if found so far is chameleon leg pad that gives me a stealth boy effect if i dont move. and a hunting rifle that shoots two bullets at the same time.

Dont know if its worth upgrading my stalking pipe revolver that does extra vats damage into a .45 sniper or not

I'm saving up for the Overseer's Guardian, a legendary combat rifle in Vault 81 that shoots two shots per bullet. I already have a fully upgrade combat rifle, and will transfer the mods over.

My brother found a sniper rifle that never had to reload, ever again.

I really wouldn't want a gun that shoots 2 bullets with how much I miss.. I'd be out of ammo all the time. I'd love one that never needs a reload though

Nah, it shoots two bullets, but only uses one.

My favorite is swans powerfist that does more damage with each consecutive hit on the same target,

or the baseball bat that launches baddies wayyyy up in the air.


honourable mention to khremns tooth sword as it just does soo much flipping damage

Just found a VATS enhanced pool cue. I... don't even...

Sadly, but I haven't played nearly as much as some here, the "best" piece I've found thus far is a leg that reflects like 10, 15 or 25% damage or some gak.

I've found a piece that increases my movement speed.

I've found an explosive minigun It chews through ammo, but the explosive damage seems to scale with anything that applies to the gun, along with demo I THINK but I'm not entirely sure, as my minigun deals roughly 80 per hit with explosive, and a stock minigun only deals ~18 (maxed out heavy gunner, commando, demolition expert, and bloody mess). I don't think there's literally anything that is an actual threat, assuming it's not hugging me.

I just found a combat rifle with the never-ending ammo ability. Haven't tried it out yet, might be good to make it full auto. I also picked up a 2-shot .44 revolver. Nice, but the fire and reload speeds are so slow every shot has to count.

These double shots, do the two rounds go down range together or does the rifle kick and the 2nd one go high?

There is the SMALLEST spread. Almost nothing in aiming, but you won't get two head shots at range. Aim for the body and you'll hit twice. Hip fire, it spreads more of course but still not that bad. I actually want to try to put a splitter on my two shot laser, see how many beams come out...

Found a never reload .44. My internal fluff bunny rebels at a 400 shot revolver...

Don't know if it's been posted but I just saw this on Imgur;



Good one

It's not literally never ending, you have to actually have the ammo in your inventory

I have a never ending shotgun (fully modded) and I don't use it anymore, its now behind the curve in terms of damage. My standard weapon in an incendiary combat rifle, also fully modded. I have enough ammo, and it is accurate and powerful enough, that I don't need to use anything else for the moment.

Ah, I love the "mass effect" joke it's so bad, it's good.


So far I have only found 2 legendary weapons, a furious chinese officer sword that does more damage to a target the more you hit it (yeah, I have 4 STR, don't care much about this) and Big Jim. The awesome thing about Big Jim is that it's a monkey wrench, so he looks damn cool but it's still useless for me

The metal shin that slows down time when I reach 20% health is damn cool though. Everything is slowed down, so I'm able to have some "Max Payne" moments and heal myself.

Got lots of legendary weapons. A walking cane that's better against Super Mutants. A pipe revolver that does more damage when your drugged and high as a kite. Nocturnal Sniper Rifle. Armor that slows down time below 20% of your health. Chestpiece that gives way more damage resist against rads. And a bunch I stored away at my base. Really am finding to many. And I have Shishkebab the fire sword... But that's not legendary
