Lately I've received comments from people voicing their concerns around having to follow rules, let me clarify the point of this video. If you can't be bothered reading, here's the TL;DR: Rules =/= unwritten rules. Play the game any whichever way you want to, as long as you're not breaking ACTUAL rules. Non-TL;DR: These unwritten rules are OPTIONAL. As far as I'm aware they can act as a guideline from the perspective of a general (majority) consensus of a certain topic, and that is what I based this video on. While not scientific by any means, seeing similar videos, reading posts on Reddit, and having played the game for quite some time, has given me an overall idea of what the consensus is. The like/dislike ratio on this video does seem to validate it as well, though that one is in hindsight of course. Play however you want, having fun is the point of games after all. Some people will hate you for it, just like some people are hating on me for making this video (albeit a small minority). While I do think you'd be showing more respect to people around you by following most of these points, personally, I wouldn't care if you were to go completely against them. I won't hold it against you unless you're actually griefing. Going against these rules doesn't automatically mean you're griefing though, just to be clear. Regarding "Nuke correctly", yes, it's completely fine to drop the nuke wherever you want. Need materials? Fight SBQ in the zone, not a problem. The reason why I chose these specific drop locations is because I figured it'd be ideal to keep lower level players in mind, I think it's cool when they can participate in boss events. This topic is not quite as black & white as some make it out to be, but I should've indeed mentioned things like this as well, unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to make a perfect video. Hopefully that clarified some things. Have a good rest of your day!
i agree with your video i also would like to say for the whole explodig weapon thing ,im set to pacifist and other players killed me with thier explosive weapons since i am a melee build i have to get close to the enemy im going where their explosions are going and yeah i died in xo1 power armor in eviction notice a few times
Another rule: defend the people playing instruments at One Violent Night. Don't keep walking outside, especially when there's only like 3 players there and/or mostly lower level players. Ghouls will come in other doors and from the roof and the people playing will get overwhelmed. Normally, don't one shot things, but absolutely one shot ghouls attacking musicians.
Keep in mind the jukebox counts as an instrument. I normally stealth on top of it and keep restarting it when it stops. This is how you can solo this event, but also help when it is a joint effort.
@@davidolson3776 didn't think about squatting on the juke box. Your advice came in handy the other day when I soloed til about the 5 minute mark. Thankfully, people did show up since it didn't look like I was gonna make it in time.
Another quick unwritten rule from a player who's been playing since the beta. Don't make your vendor hard to find and don't put them in your shelter. As soon as I spawn into your camp your vendor should be quick and easy to find. Most people don't want to go through two loading screens to get to your vendor so don't put them in your shelter.
Sometimes certain players (like myself) integrate the vendor as part of the build. I try to make sure it’s the first thing you’ll see/recognize regardless of the number of loading screens
I stopped caring about making them very obvious ever since I had a build where everyone would go into my house instead of looking at the 20 vault boy pointing signs all pointing at the vendor.
@Marvin12Mcm A couple others also can be don't be a douchebag and price plans over 5k+ caps. Also don't AFK to get good prizes and screw over the ones that do the work.
@@zachy427 How does AFKing screw over anyone? The loot pool and chances aren't shared for everyone in an event. They are rolled per player on an individual basis. I agree that it is annoying to be the only one doing the event objectives while others don't help, but it's not messing with anyone.
Good vid. Something to add for Eviction Notice; if you are running Power Armor, please repair the rad scrubber when it breaks. Most of the squishy Bloodied players will go down instantly, causing mobs to start swarming the area. So it's important that the people with high defense/resists to repair it ASAP.
The waiting thing is so nice. Those times you see the event notification pop up but you're in the middle of something, so you finish up and head over to the event and everyone is waiting to start. So nice.
Don't hide your vendor behind inaccessible rooms in your camp with arrows pointing into your shelters. No one wants to wait through a second load screen just to find out all your items for sale are set to 40k
@@DeaconBlues117 Agreed. I use the vanilla vendor right out in front because I hate having to hunt around all their season rewards to find the obscure vendor
@@UncleDon226 even withpeople still miss it.... lol my vendor is so obvious but people still get confused. Or maybe theyre just checking out my camp idk lol
Nuke Correctly - Don't forget that nuking isn't just for starting events, it's also for farming flux, so much of what you said is for low level players that dont know about flux, not "unwritten rules" Don't fight the SBQ at V9 because then half the radiation zone off the map and its useless for picking nuke flora afterwards. Leave Starion Delta or Glassed Caverns free if you can't fight in the radiation zone, but fighting in the rad zone is best because all the enemies drop ingredients for making flux. Also don't melt the queen as fast as you can, you get more spawns and therefore more XP the longer you keep her alive You can nuke Skyline Valley and there is no radiation zone, so it doesn't matter if you nuke the weather station Collecting Ore in Rad Rumble gives better spawns, snallys, deathclaws etc, so more XP... get the ore
I agree, if you're nuking SBQ and want to farm flux you'd go about it in a different way. Ultimately it comes down to what your goal is when initiating the nuke, would've been worth a mention for sure, along with keeping her alive for a while for better overall gains. Wasn't sure about Skyline Valley, since the Nuke Zone doesn't even appear after touchdown. Thought it might still exist at the impact area (should've checked to be sure), but good to know!
@@prizmere If you nuke anywhere in Skyline Valley, you start Neurological Warfare. There is no nuke zone afterward on that one, so feel free to try to drop your bomb right on top of Hawksbill Station if you're so inclined - the storm destroys the nuke, and funnels its energy into the station to power the Storm Goliaths.
Leaving a comment so more people see this, the amount of events that failed because some low level started the hard events early is crazy, this can help them out hopefully.
I don't know how many times I've tried my best to save a noob from this. At Suitors more often than anything else. But then, the other side is that there are some events where the NPC talking to you takes too friggin long and will run the timer out. I was trying to wait at a Dangerous Pastimes the other night and waited too long to talk into the intercom and the dumbass NPC talked my time away.
I failed Eviction Notice a few times because the Rad Scrubber broke, and none fixed it. Even some players have PA, and I have no hazmat suit at the moment.
@@sirmudkipactually You also have to start Uranium Fever about a minute before the timer runs out, because you have to get down into the mine past some light opposition in order to start the machinery up. But those, quite frankly, are exceptions - for most public events, wait out the timer as long as practicable.
Concerning #3: I have an auto grenade launcher for only one one type of event: the Refelective Skin mutated events. It is the only weapon I can use without it hurting me in turn. Not mentioned in the video, but has been commented: Vendor placement. Put them where they are easily seen and accessible. Also, have at least two!!!!! But another point, to shoppers: WAIT for a camp to fully LOAD before you go tearing through the area, then bitch about not being able to find it. At least half the time they are directly in your line of vision, but you were impatient. WAIT! Kind of in the same vein: pay attention to where visitors to your camp spawn! If that location is not ideal, MOVE YOUR CAMP MODULE!
Radiation rumble has been getting really bad lately every event is full of people blocking the spawns with higher level players spamming the thumbs down emote that are there to just use their Tesla to tag all the ghouls but can’t because like 10 people are sitting in the tunnels
I joined and I’m like ok I’m the four player we can do it super easy what I didn’t realize it was two AFK that just crouched spinning 😵💫 Me and the other guy did it both in power armor with friendly fire Was not to bad just more hectic each of us running in circles to kill and keep NPC’s alive
I wrote a huge comment about rad rumble and eviction. Then noticed you did it. Thank you. For rad rumble, standing in the hallways drops the respawn rate significantly. Stay in center, you do more harm trying to get to the kills first because nothing spawns. Join a team from players inside the event cause their kills give you xp on top of your kills. When rad rumble is done right with lunch boxes, you can level up multiple times, almost 10 times during double xp weekends with some buffs
These "unwritten rules" vids are usually incredibly pretentious, but you were on the money with every one you listed. Right on, you earned a like and subscription. I'm gonna keep an eye on this channel.
No, he is not. Rule number 3 He did not do enough research. The only Explosive weapon that causes the dead enemy bodies to launch in an extreme way is the 40mm auto launcher. One of my five characters is an explosive expert build. If someone that doesn't know better sees this vid they might think that it would be better to avoid explosive weapons or give others unnecessary grief for using them.
@@dweezel2003 Pretty difficult to make a spotless video I fear, so I appreciate the criticism, and it's true I could've done more research/testing. That being said, I also knew some other weapon/weapons create a significant enough ragdoll effect for it to become a problem. It's true that the Auto Grenade Launcher (or Nuka Launcher) is the main culprit though. Did some quick testing just now and the Missile Launcher seems completely fine to use (at least unmodified), but the Fat Man does indeed fling enemies quite far at times, both unmodified and with MIRV. It also brings chaos on screen, which can be fun if used restrictively.
@@dweezel2003 go grab a TSE gatling gun or TSE 50 cal, see how wrong you are...hell ive a video on YT of me launching poor murgle the cat across the map with an exploding bow!
@@-Lucky-Six- In my haste posting my comment I mislabeled Demolition expert weapons as Explosive weapons. The only Demolition weapon that has that problem is the 40mm auto launcher. Fatman, Broadsider, and missile launcher have a much more subdued effect. You are correct some weapons with the Explosive legendary effect can produce the same effect as the 40mm auto launcher.
Another thing is be aware of where people visiting your camp will spawn. I have visited many people's camps only to spawn inside their foundations. Once you place your camp move the camp module so that a visitor doesn't spawn inside somewhere they can't get out.
Apparently the spawn location is related to where you initially put the module down, not where it is now, so my advice is to move as you spawn into a camp in order to minimize your odds of being caught underneath.
@@DeaconBlues117No, you can absolutely change the spawn location by moving your module. I used to always spawn in the river at my first camp but I moved the module and that no longer happens.
Definitely agree with the explosive weapon spamming in events. When multiple people do it, it seems to really lag the server. I know people love their weapons, but some restraint is nice.
Yeah, it definitely makes Moonshine Jamboree a lot less fun, and honestly Eviction Notice becomes a bit more difficult when I can't distinguish targets among all the explosions.
@HeadHunterSix at least we now have the "loot all nearby" option. That was a nice quality of life addition. But yeah, that damn exploding weapon with all the bright colors....damn. Can barely see anything!
I can’t fkn stand when people spam the mini nukes in any event, and then the Cremators in Rad Rumble!! It makes the Tesla rifle spamming even seem not so bad! Honorable mention to the Gauss Miniguns also !!
nice video, one very important one that i think 90% people dont know, rad rumble, if you run off down to the top of the slopes to get XP you will actually nerf the spawn rate for yourself and everyone else. STAY in the middle, use a tesla rifle to tag, enjoy the massive amount of XP
All good points. I'd add not to be an ass on area audio. Nobody wants to hear you chewing chips or your kids whining or your baby momma screaming in the background. Use push to talk if you need to say anything.
I’ll never forget playing a long time ago where a child was on the parents account playing and the mic was absolutely horrendously loud playing their audio out of the tv. Due to echo I realized I could take advantage of the situation and put on explosive weapons and kept following them around shooting. After the child started crying the dad came in yelling at the game. I told him to fix his audio and threw maybe 30 orbital strikes. They finally fixed their audio after yelling a bunch. Bad parenting, bad fallout experience, 10/10 would do again. Maybe I was the villain but the 12+ people complaining about the audio during events sure appreciated the silence after.
I made that mistake with the only glowing mask I got at fasnacht... I'd been playing the game about a week, didn't know how much they were worth. Player revived me then wanted to trade, requested the mask (I was wearing it) and I sold it ridiculously low 😭 didn't get any other glowing masks and it was the robot one which is my favourite! Lesson learned for next time I guess...
Guy scammed me for my blue ridge mask. Had me wait 30 minutes for him to arrive. I dropped it then he sent me a msg saying “scammer” and all his messages were deleted. I can’t post him on lfg because his gt gets flagged for “profanity”. Very frustrating
@@highsocietygaming1269 I've heard a lot of tales like this. It's why I never accept trade offers in the wild - if you want my stuff, I've got a vendor, and my CAMP beacon is always on. Just fast-travel there and buy at my asking price, which is generally about 10% of the suggested because I'm not hurting for caps. If I want your stuff, I'll look for your vendor - just make sure your beacon is on, and the vendor isn't hidden behind some kind of hide-and-seek game or lethal trap.
As a new player, I've been surprised to see how many people run up ahead to one shot kill all of the holiday scorched. Its super douchy and makes it unnecessarily competitive. Thank you
@@richardbenitez1656 But since the revamp a while back, you get the legendaries just for being in the area when the creature is downed. When it's something like Holiday Scorched, where there are dailies and weeklies that require killing a certain number of them, try to just tag them in events so that other people can tag them too, and you can share in the kill credit. (Everyone who damaged the creature gets credit for the kill.)
@@DeaconBlues117that’s why I quit using exploding ammo. A few shots allows me to get the score, gift, and legendary item as well. I went to an anti-armor assault rifle with the perforated magazine for a 90% armor penetration with the powerful automatic receiver and a suppressor, a few three round bursts and even scorchbeasts can be brought down quickly and easily. I know that a few other players have seen me do that.
@@Kaminskip I try to just tag as well - but I don’t get vexed when people blow em away and one shot. Sometimes people just want the cores and notes and I can’t get mad. Yeah I want the exp, but I’ll recover from missing out 7 min worth.
@@Oldmanmatt True that, but its nice to share :) only can be a little annoying with legendaries, athough they have just made them common at this stage.. they used to be actually rare back at lunch
I used to tag with the Tesla rifle but then I found that I would get a bit more reach in Radiation Rumble by tagging with the Nuka Launcher. You can stand up on top in the middle and reach both east and west hallways. The nades get em even before they emerge into the main room 😂😂
I agree, IF, you have a few extra, If not a heart or thumbs up is always appreciated, there very nice for Rad. Rumble, Moonshine Jamboree, Eviction Notice , also welcome at Scorch Beast and most larger events. Also useful early in a new score board/season. I usually buy lunchboxes from Samuel at Foundation for gold bullion to help the community out. .I don't have much use for gold on my higher level characters. I also try to wait until enough players show up and pop at or shortly after the start of the event so late comers can enjoy as well.
You didn't mention the cremator as an exception, it deals little direct damage and doesn't create a pressure wave. The only problem is the visual effect. But on the other hand, the players who suffer the most from this are usually those who are right at the spawn points, which isn't very nice either.
@@FS-Flame Camping the hallways results in less spawns, if you're using a shotgun build try switching to an explosive shotgun to tag multiple enemies or switch to something else temporarily like a Tesla gun.
Skyline Valley actually is the only region where you can nuke anywhere inside the region, but not harm anyone or their bases. While the area affected by the nuke still has that nuclear ambiance and environment, you will not die if the nuke goes off if you are say right where the nuke is supposed to go off, and afterwards, the area will not dose you with Rads.
I agree with these unwritten rules that you shared, they are helpful, especially the two (one is don't lockpick other people's stuff at their camps), and the other one of spamming their explosive weapons especially in events, which I have found to be rather irritating on both Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
I went to an event where one guy was constantly spamming explosives to the point all we could see was flashes. EVERYONE else on the event was repeatedly emoting 'no' and 'angry'... did he stop? Nope...
@OddRickk my mate asked me to check if his was locked by trying to pick it... like you, I didn't take anything. Immediate bounty, high level came and one shot killed me 🤣 we all did a thumbs up and I haven't done it again lol
And if it's unlocked, take what you need. I leave my company tea, wood pile next to the stove, sometimes junk machines, and pemmican collectors open for folks to grab if they need it.
Great food for thought and, while I agree with you mostly, it is important to remember that it is just a game. Any game mechanic that is not some kind of hack is inherently “fair play.” For example, I don’t pick someone’s CAMP resources or take over their workshop, but I don’t complain when someone else does it to me. My Archer or Melee character doesn’t complain that your railway rifle is killing everything so fast, so relax when it’s whips out the Nuka Launcher or starts throwing Nuka Grenades. My Power Armor character doesn’t complain when your Bloodied Commando doesn’t throw on a Steath Suit on and lumber, overweight, through the tunnels collecting ore. I don’t complain; it’s just a game.
Of course! Hopefully it helps people gather an idea of how they'd like to play, but ultimately none of this is set in stone, it's up to the individual. For all it's worth, I mostly don't care what people do when I'm out there playing on my own. Yes, it's unfortunate that people sometimes camp the RR tunnels, spam explosives or whatever it may be, but I'd never care enough to actually get annoyed, or worse yet, to get on the mic to give them "a few choice words". Someone wants to chuck a nuke on my camp? No problem, but I'd much rather see that nuke go somewhere useful instead lol. A game like this is made to be played for fun, so if one's not having fun, it kind of defeats the point of playing.
One thing I will state for those that don’t know when you spawn neurological warfare the area isn’t irradiated regardless, so you can from it and the region basically eats the nuke zone and in return activates the boss
This game with its trends and atmosphere has grew so much since beta. I remember Whitespring was the place to nuke and farming legendary enemies at certain spots in the map.
I have left Moonshine Jamboree a couple time before when several people sit on the top of the building spamming the area with explosives and never come down to collect the venom. I end up missing too much exp as I can't see the dang mobs. I use the 5mm gatling gun so I don't kill mobs and other people have a chance at the exp. There are a lot of cool people out there but the recent influx of dorks is causing me to stay on my private server more lately.
I agree with and wish more people followed the one about spamming explosive weapons in events. Lately it seems like any event you go to it’s nothing but constant giant explosions, which gets quite annoying if you’re trying to do anything other than just finish the event.
Thank you for telling people to Not nuke Dropsite, appreciate you. The Nuka Launcher is a menace. I have it and use it for reflective enemies but sparingly.
just FYI but you can also drop the nuke right on top of the weather station because the nuke doesnt actually hit the ground so there's no nuke zone. No one is gonna be getting tons of rads when fighting the goliaths
@@rolfkraulein2903 If no one else shows up, letting it pass is usually the best option. I for one am not set up to solo, say, the rescue of Moona Lisa.
Interesting list. I semi agree. If people need to farm mobs in a nuke zone whitesprings is being hit. If your camp is there, I am sorry. I’ve never done it but I’ve been on servers where it happened. And then I farmed mobs and bought something from their store 😂. Also - dead on w starting events early. A level 30 started the Wild West show with just them and me there. Luckily a few others showed up, but I hate failing events. Congrats on 100! On to 100,000🎉
@@prizmere I’m a fairly new player - since may 2024 - so a lot of this is new. First time I dropped a Nuke on the bog I covered everything I could - my mindset was I wanted her adds in the blast zone for the mass/fluids. I understand why it’s better practice to leave the fight zone clean - but as someone with under 20 of all flux, I need my mats 😂
The explosive weapons one people really need to follow better lately. Just a few days ago, there was at least 3 people running those which made collecting the gubbons really annoying. Hell, the server was slightly lagging and i think one of them actually lagged out XD
Its kinda funny that in 76 most pepole do actualy follow these rules, compaired to most other online games where everyone is looking out for themselfs. The 76 comunity is pretty great =)
Personally, i like fighting the queen at Forward Station Delta so i leave that out of the nuke for the queen. You don't always need to fight at the drop zone. What is irritating is when someone bullseyes the fissure with nuke which makes it so nowhere is out of the zone
One thing I realized as well with the skyline valley boss is even after nuking hawksbill weather station, I get zero radiation inside the boss room with or without power armor
Especially when your camp is in the mountains and you've put your vendor on a ledge hanging out over the abyss. It's not fun to be in the middle of browsing someone's plans only to suddenly fall to my death nowhere near another respawn point.
What's annoying me atm is people 1 shotting festive scorched during events like line in the sand. I always tag then emote and run towards people to give them a chance to tag. The amount of times i've seen one, aimed and someone with a launcher or something has just blown it up so no one else gets a tag in.... especially as every day there is a daily for 10 festive scorched.
Okay so for the nuke thing the neurological warfare event will start no matter where you nuke in skyline valley and it doesn’t matter if you nuke right in the wether station or not because the nuke dissipates in the atmosphere so there is minimal radiation
Very true, especially if you solo it, however I find the more ore (up to level 4) seems to (for me at least) result in more or higher level legendary items to drop. Also Friendly Fire - charisma card (and a Flaming weapon) will keep the NPC workers at high to full health. I usually put on my Chinese Stealth grab 10 ore and switch back to my regular armor/under armor at the beginning.
also correct me if im wrong but u dont need to tag legendary enemies in order to get their loot if they spawn for an event. its like the legendary loot is always shared in events. this doesnt work for normal enemies or legendary enemies outside of events. etiquette used to be to not instakill legendary mole miner supervisors, for example, but now its not too big a deal so long as they die nearby
For the team, start it in expedition or daily op and let others join, then switch it to casual while you do the expedition or daily op for more xp, then switch it back right before you complete the expedition or daily op. I do this with events all the time as well.
I had someone message me bitching about XP on the rad rumble one… I’m a really nice guy, I always drop 20 plus stims for low level players and help them when they start events alone.. that shit bothered me though. Complaining about XP when the objective is to keep the guys alive. At least you seem to understand there are different priorities at different times.
Thanks for this. Now hopefully the one shot people that show up to events see it. I've leveled up in Radiation rumble several times during one event. Other times, I barely make any progress because of the one shot people firing away. While rare, those massive explosions have crashed my game too. So frustrating!
The new area you can nuke the area where the event pops off and it won't kill anyone in the event location because the Rad storm actually eats the nuke it's awesome my friends would nuke it when I was standing in the arena and I didn't die from the nuke that exploded right above me
What's funny is, I've never seen anyone follow these rules. People always spawn camp, spam explosive weapons to launch the bodies, start events early. I see it from low levels and high levels.
I agree. Mostly. Sharing experience is hard. Oh...and i would have included not to start daily ops early. Had that happen twice today. Third time; me and one other person finished it easily because i was able to put power armor on, which can take time with lag and visual glitches.
Idk why i see 4 people sitting at an event running around waiting for people to show up and dont activate the event and get man when i as the 5th person to show up activates it imo if you aint there you snooze you loose
And if you activate it too soon, _everybody_ loses. Best to wait as long as possible for backup, except for Uranium Fever, where you have to leave time to get down to the bottom of the mine to activate the machinery.
I find the worst thing about people spamming explosive weapons is that the screen shakes violently when in first person mode as well as a large explosion animation when you're close so it's difficult to get a lock on an enemy when there's somebody firing a rocket or mini nuke every few seconds. It's even more annoying when the event is in a fairly small indoor space like uranium fever or radiation rumble.
Other Unwritten Rules: 1. Don’t make your Vendor, Shelter or Candy Bowls hard to find 2. Don’t go idle on vendors 3. Don’t steal other people’s XP when they are clearing out buildings 4. If you have a wanted level just let others take it so that you can enjoy the game 5. Always see if low level players need any help 6. Don’t go idle during events 7. Don’t go into a silo if you see someone else in there, as this spawns more enemies and makes it harder to complete the nuke 9. Set your vendor prices to a reasonable price Also I always nuke: For Queen: Just Under Drop Site V9 For Titan: Right On Top Of The Mine For Earl: Just On It For Neurological: I Nuke Right On Top Of Tree Ponds I also use The Fixer or The Creamator as they are my favourite weapons. I don’t touch other peoples stuff unless it’s unlocked. I don’t start events unless I have at least 5 people. When I am doing Rad Rumble I focus on healing the NPC’s because I have Friendly Fire.
nuking for Earl, I would say is to not nuke in way to also hit robot arena, often it indeed, as if intentionally, starts during place being still in radiation zone
I wish people didn’t get so offended over pvp in this game. Almost every single time I accidentally shoot someone and they shoot back and instantly down then them they start sending super salty hate messages full of racial and homophobic slurs. I’ve got so many people comms bans over it lol.
Why not, do you wanna waste ur Ammo for not hitting the Queen, i am always Happy about it, If someone is freezing her in the Air, so i can hit her with my Heavy Weapons, If she is flying around Like crazy, i cannot hit her and this Ammo wasting
@@smac2047 you have enough time to kill her. When she’s on the ground, enemies spawn! You can make a lot xp and collect loot and if in a nuke zone, get many hard Mass etc.
Another thing if someone comes to your workshop and engages pvp with you dont cry about it and say your going to report them thats what workshops are there for its a pvp event. Dont want to pvp dont take workshops or go into a private server
Or, y'know, don't be an asshole and jump in on your level 3006 toon just in order to bully some level 15 out of a workshop you have no plans to exploit. Just because you _can_ do a thing, it does not follow that you therefore _should_ do a thing.
@@DeaconBlues117 lmao I can tell you're one of those cry babies crying about pvp. if Bethesda didn't want pvp to happen, they wouldn't put it in the game ,and your characters level means nothing in fallout 76 you can be just as powerful with a level 15.
enemies killed by explosive weapon will turn into meat piles at the place they got killed, if you wait a few seconds you can still loot them. No worry about the corpes flying away
Thanks for sharing, that slipped my mind. You'd still have to wait for them to spawn unfortunately, which isn't really ideal. Any idea of how long it takes until they become meat piles?
Standing on a concrete box isn't fun for the queen fight, Nuke it right and fight her at forward station delta, AND you have a chance to spawn a collossus wendigo in the grove. Way more mobs and mayhem, way more fun.
2. Correct nuking. Nonsense. Your nuke. Your placement. Been the rule for years. Been playing since launch, a bloodied build and still drop it dead center on Fissure Prime occasionally. Why? All the mobs drop stabilizing stabilozing mats for flux.
Guide: "don't nuke people's camps/workshops, and don't spam explosives" Me: *entire play style built around explosives and turning places into craters for the past 3 years* (will probably not change)
Your first rule is like half a rule honestly. You should ALWAYS be in a casual team during an expedition or daily ops. You only get the bonus at the very end of each. Might as well get extra XP from what you are doing instead of just leaving XP on the table just to advertise your actions.
There's nothing worse than spending a key card to call in the sheepsquatch, and having someone else start the event when I'm not ready..... I've just started camping terminal even if I go AFK so then that way no one else can start it till I'm ready
there's something even better for those annoying guys: get the Hellstorm missile launcher, upgrade it to cryo payload. Then equipo grenadier level 2....that things completely blinds the screen with whiteness, and it slowly fades away.
If you use the cremator, please think about using the mod No Cremator Explosion on Nexus mods so you do not blind other people playing with you. I hope that some day there will be a setting to turn the effect off.
I was told I am playing the game wrong by using my 2 shot fatman. I then proceeded to make sure I had as much fun possible. Fallout is Fallout there are technically no rules other than enjoy the game.
The amount of people that would use a cremator at the Fasnacht event was annoying. there were times I'd only get credit for killing one Super Mutant which wasted the berry mentats. I would literally jump worlds after just to see if I could get less cremator users for the next Fasnacht event.
It's great to wait on people but if you're in an event like uranium fever you can fail the event by waiting too long. We started the event 60 seconds before running down and failed the second we got there and everyone was ??? Emoting. It was so sad we had so many people
i've heard 8 different people say its not nice to do something in this game but yall can hang that up your playing with people it's ganna happen not bots.
I run a bloodied unarmed bulit with hack and slash, eploding palm and collateral damage and grenider so i make explosions just by playing the game. The search all bodies makes it to where your never going to loose bodies
The worst I've seen is when someone starts shooting, and even spamming mini nukes in radiation rumble.!?!? Talk about blinding everyone! I almost just left. Lately lots of players are running the halls. Many are trying to get the kill. Honestly, I don't think they know any better. Most of the other games out there are super competitive. I'm just glad there are really tough bosses you can't "one shot". People gotta know, this is supposed to be a shared game. It's not all about you... speaking rhetorically that is.
Not an unwritten rule but more like a tip, have your messages open to everyone! Someone might be trying to trade you for something or try to help you! This community has been really friendly and I’ve never messaged or tried to message people more than when I play this game
I’m gonna challenge number 5, I can solo every event, so if I’m in the server ppl need to hurry up and get to the event instead of taking your time, cause high level players like me and my team we hate waiting to start things.
That whole "spamming explosive weapons" thing...players do not care about other players. One way to guarantee a player spams his 2 shot MIRV Fatman is to tell him its a sick thing to do. They do it specifically because others hate it. Fkn check valve players.
Just a note - i launched a nuke with the weather station in the blast radius, but technically it was outside skyline valley, so it didn't trigger the event... So just be aware of that.
Sharing perks adequately (if possible) is a rule I use and apparently is a unwritten rule ive heard. I specifically have a glitched door that leads to a wall for those being punks lol as for spamming explosives if I'm not getting XP because some dude Overpowered vats build nobody is I know a little secret to get more punch out of my fat man i get 4 mirvs out of my 2 shot.
I give other Players enough Time to participate for Events, If No one ist coming, i have to Start the Event at the Last Minute, or the Event is gone. I hate it to pass an Event, cuz no one is coming
Lately I've received comments from people voicing their concerns around having to follow rules, let me clarify the point of this video. If you can't be bothered reading, here's the TL;DR:
Rules =/= unwritten rules. Play the game any whichever way you want to, as long as you're not breaking ACTUAL rules.
Non-TL;DR:
These unwritten rules are OPTIONAL. As far as I'm aware they can act as a guideline from the perspective of a general (majority) consensus of a certain topic, and that is what I based this video on. While not scientific by any means, seeing similar videos, reading posts on Reddit, and having played the game for quite some time, has given me an overall idea of what the consensus is. The like/dislike ratio on this video does seem to validate it as well, though that one is in hindsight of course.
Play however you want, having fun is the point of games after all. Some people will hate you for it, just like some people are hating on me for making this video (albeit a small minority). While I do think you'd be showing more respect to people around you by following most of these points, personally, I wouldn't care if you were to go completely against them. I won't hold it against you unless you're actually griefing. Going against these rules doesn't automatically mean you're griefing though, just to be clear.
Regarding "Nuke correctly", yes, it's completely fine to drop the nuke wherever you want. Need materials? Fight SBQ in the zone, not a problem. The reason why I chose these specific drop locations is because I figured it'd be ideal to keep lower level players in mind, I think it's cool when they can participate in boss events. This topic is not quite as black & white as some make it out to be, but I should've indeed mentioned things like this as well, unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to make a perfect video.
Hopefully that clarified some things. Have a good rest of your day!
i agree with your video i also would like to say for the whole explodig weapon thing ,im set to pacifist and other players killed me with thier explosive weapons since i am a melee build i have to get close to the enemy im going where their explosions are going and yeah i died in xo1 power armor in eviction notice a few times
Another rule: defend the people playing instruments at One Violent Night. Don't keep walking outside, especially when there's only like 3 players there and/or mostly lower level players. Ghouls will come in other doors and from the roof and the people playing will get overwhelmed. Normally, don't one shot things, but absolutely one shot ghouls attacking musicians.
Yes 🙌
I cant even remember the amount of times I died because nobody defended me. Then when I defend nobody is playing the instruments 🤦🏻♂️
Keep in mind the jukebox counts as an instrument. I normally stealth on top of it and keep restarting it when it stops. This is how you can solo this event, but also help when it is a joint effort.
@@davidolson3776 thank you for the tip. I did not realize you could sell it just by protecting the juice box.
@@davidolson3776 didn't think about squatting on the juke box. Your advice came in handy the other day when I soloed til about the 5 minute mark. Thankfully, people did show up since it didn't look like I was gonna make it in time.
Another quick unwritten rule from a player who's been playing since the beta. Don't make your vendor hard to find and don't put them in your shelter. As soon as I spawn into your camp your vendor should be quick and easy to find. Most people don't want to go through two loading screens to get to your vendor so don't put them in your shelter.
Sometimes certain players (like myself) integrate the vendor as part of the build. I try to make sure it’s the first thing you’ll see/recognize regardless of the number of loading screens
I stopped caring about making them very obvious ever since I had a build where everyone would go into my house instead of looking at the 20 vault boy pointing signs all pointing at the vendor.
I have the vender in the shelter and in the CAMP, when I reach 40k caps, I remove it from the CAMP.
@Marvin12Mcm A couple others also can be don't be a douchebag and price plans over 5k+ caps. Also don't AFK to get good prizes and screw over the ones that do the work.
@@zachy427 How does AFKing screw over anyone? The loot pool and chances aren't shared for everyone in an event. They are rolled per player on an individual basis. I agree that it is annoying to be the only one doing the event objectives while others don't help, but it's not messing with anyone.
Good vid. Something to add for Eviction Notice; if you are running Power Armor, please repair the rad scrubber when it breaks. Most of the squishy Bloodied players will go down instantly, causing mobs to start swarming the area. So it's important that the people with high defense/resists to repair it ASAP.
Or if you're running around in Chinese stealth armor like me. I can sneak right up to the scrubber and they tend not to attack me
Anyone not using power armor , chinese stealth suit or hazmat, will die of the high rads...not just bloodied players.
The waiting thing is so nice. Those times you see the event notification pop up but you're in the middle of something, so you finish up and head over to the event and everyone is waiting to start. So nice.
Don't hide your vendor behind inaccessible rooms in your camp with arrows pointing into your shelters. No one wants to wait through a second load screen just to find out all your items for sale are set to 40k
In fact, finding your vendor should never be a hide-and-seek game. Put it somewhere it's easy to find, so you can sell more stuff.
@@DeaconBlues117 Agreed. I use the vanilla vendor right out in front because I hate having to hunt around all their season rewards to find the obscure vendor
@@UncleDon226 even withpeople still miss it.... lol my vendor is so obvious but people still get confused. Or maybe theyre just checking out my camp idk lol
Absolutely can't argue with that!
Nuke Correctly - Don't forget that nuking isn't just for starting events, it's also for farming flux, so much of what you said is for low level players that dont know about flux, not "unwritten rules"
Don't fight the SBQ at V9 because then half the radiation zone off the map and its useless for picking nuke flora afterwards. Leave Starion Delta or Glassed Caverns free if you can't fight in the radiation zone, but fighting in the rad zone is best because all the enemies drop ingredients for making flux. Also don't melt the queen as fast as you can, you get more spawns and therefore more XP the longer you keep her alive
You can nuke Skyline Valley and there is no radiation zone, so it doesn't matter if you nuke the weather station
Collecting Ore in Rad Rumble gives better spawns, snallys, deathclaws etc, so more XP... get the ore
I agree, if you're nuking SBQ and want to farm flux you'd go about it in a different way. Ultimately it comes down to what your goal is when initiating the nuke, would've been worth a mention for sure, along with keeping her alive for a while for better overall gains.
Wasn't sure about Skyline Valley, since the Nuke Zone doesn't even appear after touchdown. Thought it might still exist at the impact area (should've checked to be sure), but good to know!
Also getting rank 4 of ore collected with one or more survivors give a chance at highest levels of rewards. (Emmit rad suit and rad barrel plan)
Look into the skyline valley weather station lore for more information why theres no radiation when you nuke skyline.@prizmere
@@prizmere If you nuke anywhere in Skyline Valley, you start Neurological Warfare. There is no nuke zone afterward on that one, so feel free to try to drop your bomb right on top of Hawksbill Station if you're so inclined - the storm destroys the nuke, and funnels its energy into the station to power the Storm Goliaths.
@@DeaconBlues117thanks
I’ve been playing F76 since Day 1 and it’s things like this that makes the F76 playing community the best in all online gaming.
It's not the best community. I play with Greeks and they aren't much helpful.
Leaving a comment so more people see this, the amount of events that failed because some low level started the hard events early is crazy, this can help them out hopefully.
I don't know how many times I've tried my best to save a noob from this. At Suitors more often than anything else. But then, the other side is that there are some events where the NPC talking to you takes too friggin long and will run the timer out. I was trying to wait at a Dangerous Pastimes the other night and waited too long to talk into the intercom and the dumbass NPC talked my time away.
I failed Eviction Notice a few times because the Rad Scrubber broke, and none fixed it. Even some players have PA, and I have no hazmat suit at the moment.
@@leaelzebub811 yeah lol Dangerous Pastimes has to be started at around the 1'40 mark or you won't get it
@@sirmudkipactually You also have to start Uranium Fever about a minute before the timer runs out, because you have to get down into the mine past some light opposition in order to start the machinery up. But those, quite frankly, are exceptions - for most public events, wait out the timer as long as practicable.
Concerning #3: I have an auto grenade launcher for only one one type of event: the Refelective Skin mutated events. It is the only weapon I can use without it hurting me in turn.
Not mentioned in the video, but has been commented: Vendor placement. Put them where they are easily seen and accessible. Also, have at least two!!!!! But another point, to shoppers: WAIT for a camp to fully LOAD before you go tearing through the area, then bitch about not being able to find it. At least half the time they are directly in your line of vision, but you were impatient. WAIT!
Kind of in the same vein: pay attention to where visitors to your camp spawn! If that location is not ideal, MOVE YOUR CAMP MODULE!
Especially if their camp is on the edge of a cliff!
Radiation rumble has been getting really bad lately every event is full of people blocking the spawns with higher level players spamming the thumbs down emote that are there to just use their Tesla to tag all the ghouls but can’t because like 10 people are sitting in the tunnels
I joined and I’m like ok I’m the four player we can do it super easy what I didn’t realize it was two AFK that just crouched spinning 😵💫
Me and the other guy did it both in power armor with friendly fire
Was not to bad just more hectic each of us running in circles to kill and keep NPC’s alive
I wrote a huge comment about rad rumble and eviction. Then noticed you did it. Thank you.
For rad rumble, standing in the hallways drops the respawn rate significantly. Stay in center, you do more harm trying to get to the kills first because nothing spawns. Join a team from players inside the event cause their kills give you xp on top of your kills. When rad rumble is done right with lunch boxes, you can level up multiple times, almost 10 times during double xp weekends with some buffs
These "unwritten rules" vids are usually incredibly pretentious, but you were on the money with every one you listed. Right on, you earned a like and subscription. I'm gonna keep an eye on this channel.
I appreciate that, glad you liked the video! ☺
No, he is not. Rule number 3 He did not do enough research. The only Explosive weapon that causes the dead enemy bodies to launch in an extreme way is the 40mm auto launcher. One of my five characters is an explosive expert build. If someone that doesn't know better sees this vid they might think that it would be better to avoid explosive weapons or give others unnecessary grief for using them.
@@dweezel2003 Pretty difficult to make a spotless video I fear, so I appreciate the criticism, and it's true I could've done more research/testing.
That being said, I also knew some other weapon/weapons create a significant enough ragdoll effect for it to become a problem. It's true that the Auto Grenade Launcher (or Nuka Launcher) is the main culprit though. Did some quick testing just now and the Missile Launcher seems completely fine to use (at least unmodified), but the Fat Man does indeed fling enemies quite far at times, both unmodified and with MIRV. It also brings chaos on screen, which can be fun if used restrictively.
@@dweezel2003 go grab a TSE gatling gun or TSE 50 cal, see how wrong you are...hell ive a video on YT of me launching poor murgle the cat across the map with an exploding bow!
@@-Lucky-Six- In my haste posting my comment I mislabeled Demolition expert weapons as Explosive weapons. The only Demolition weapon that has that problem is the 40mm auto launcher. Fatman, Broadsider, and missile launcher have a much more subdued effect.
You are correct some weapons with the Explosive legendary effect can produce the same effect as the 40mm auto launcher.
Another thing is be aware of where people visiting your camp will spawn. I have visited many people's camps only to spawn inside their foundations. Once you place your camp move the camp module so that a visitor doesn't spawn inside somewhere they can't get out.
Apparently the spawn location is related to where you initially put the module down, not where it is now, so my advice is to move as you spawn into a camp in order to minimize your odds of being caught underneath.
@@DeaconBlues117No, you can absolutely change the spawn location by moving your module. I used to always spawn in the river at my first camp but I moved the module and that no longer happens.
Definitely agree with the explosive weapon spamming in events. When multiple people do it, it seems to really lag the server. I know people love their weapons, but some restraint is nice.
Yeah, it definitely makes Moonshine Jamboree a lot less fun, and honestly Eviction Notice becomes a bit more difficult when I can't distinguish targets among all the explosions.
@HeadHunterSix at least we now have the "loot all nearby" option. That was a nice quality of life addition. But yeah, that damn exploding weapon with all the bright colors....damn. Can barely see anything!
Thanks for the info! I had no idea!
I can’t fkn stand when people spam the mini nukes in any event, and then the Cremators in Rad Rumble!! It makes the Tesla rifle spamming even seem not so bad! Honorable mention to the Gauss Miniguns also !!
@JimiKGB right? Last night I literally said to my team mates that I almost preferred the old telaa days to this! Hahha
nice video, one very important one that i think 90% people dont know, rad rumble, if you run off down to the top of the slopes to get XP you will actually nerf the spawn rate for yourself and everyone else. STAY in the middle, use a tesla rifle to tag, enjoy the massive amount of XP
Im a shotgun build bro
All good points. I'd add not to be an ass on area audio. Nobody wants to hear you chewing chips or your kids whining or your baby momma screaming in the background. Use push to talk if you need to say anything.
I hate how this applies to so many other gamed at the same time. If ya don't have anything to actually say, keep ones self muted
I’ll never forget playing a long time ago where a child was on the parents account playing and the mic was absolutely horrendously loud playing their audio out of the tv. Due to echo I realized I could take advantage of the situation and put on explosive weapons and kept following them around shooting. After the child started crying the dad came in yelling at the game. I told him to fix his audio and threw maybe 30 orbital strikes. They finally fixed their audio after yelling a bunch. Bad parenting, bad fallout experience, 10/10 would do again. Maybe I was the villain but the 12+ people complaining about the audio during events sure appreciated the silence after.
Don't accept player trades unless you really know that player. Avoid scammers.
I figure if people want to buy my stuff, they can visit my vendor - it's always easy to find.
I made that mistake with the only glowing mask I got at fasnacht... I'd been playing the game about a week, didn't know how much they were worth. Player revived me then wanted to trade, requested the mask (I was wearing it) and I sold it ridiculously low 😭 didn't get any other glowing masks and it was the robot one which is my favourite! Lesson learned for next time I guess...
Guy scammed me for my blue ridge mask. Had me wait 30 minutes for him to arrive. I dropped it then he sent me a msg saying “scammer” and all his messages were deleted. I can’t post him on lfg because his gt gets flagged for “profanity”. Very frustrating
@@highsocietygaming1269 If you need Blue Ridge Scout helms or BR Combat helm, I can help you. I have many. My gt is Erec70patronum.
@@highsocietygaming1269 I've heard a lot of tales like this. It's why I never accept trade offers in the wild - if you want my stuff, I've got a vendor, and my CAMP beacon is always on. Just fast-travel there and buy at my asking price, which is generally about 10% of the suggested because I'm not hurting for caps. If I want your stuff, I'll look for your vendor - just make sure your beacon is on, and the vendor isn't hidden behind some kind of hide-and-seek game or lethal trap.
As a new player, I've been surprised to see how many people run up ahead to one shot kill all of the holiday scorched. Its super douchy and makes it unnecessarily competitive.
Thank you
It's always been like that, people are incredibly thirsty for legendary stuff.
@@richardbenitez1656 But since the revamp a while back, you get the legendaries just for being in the area when the creature is downed. When it's something like Holiday Scorched, where there are dailies and weeklies that require killing a certain number of them, try to just tag them in events so that other people can tag them too, and you can share in the kill credit. (Everyone who damaged the creature gets credit for the kill.)
You still get the gift and legendaries.
@@DeaconBlues117that’s why I quit using exploding ammo. A few shots allows me to get the score, gift, and legendary item as well. I went to an anti-armor assault rifle with the perforated magazine for a 90% armor penetration with the powerful automatic receiver and a suppressor, a few three round bursts and even scorchbeasts can be brought down quickly and easily. I know that a few other players have seen me do that.
Tagging in events is better than killing, I use the Gauss shotgun for radation rumble for instance so I dont one shot the mobs.
@@Kaminskip I try to just tag as well - but I don’t get vexed when people blow em away and one shot. Sometimes people just want the cores and notes and I can’t get mad. Yeah I want the exp, but I’ll recover from missing out 7 min worth.
@@Oldmanmatt True that, but its nice to share :) only can be a little annoying with legendaries, athough they have just made them common at this stage.. they used to be actually rare back at lunch
I used to tag with the Tesla rifle but then I found that I would get a bit more reach in Radiation Rumble by tagging with the Nuka Launcher. You can stand up on top in the middle and reach both east and west hallways. The nades get em even before they emerge into the main room 😂😂
My vampire auto tesla is my go-to for radiation rumble. Even at close to lvl 500 I gain a minimum of 1-2 levels every time
Yeah people just want to waste ammo. Just tag and move on. Save ammo, more xp, let's other people tag.
6: When someone pops a lunchbox, pop one too (unless 4 others have already done so)
I agree, IF, you have a few extra, If not a heart or thumbs up is always appreciated, there very nice for Rad. Rumble, Moonshine Jamboree, Eviction Notice , also welcome at Scorch Beast and most larger events. Also useful early in a new score board/season. I usually buy lunchboxes from Samuel at Foundation for gold bullion to help the community out. .I don't have much use for gold on my higher level characters. I also try to wait until enough players show up and pop at or shortly after the start of the event so late comers can enjoy as well.
You didn't mention the cremator as an exception, it deals little direct damage and doesn't create a pressure wave. The only problem is the visual effect. But on the other hand, the players who suffer the most from this are usually those who are right at the spawn points, which isn't very nice either.
I hate getting blinded by 3+ people spamming their cremators
Don’t spawn camp the hallways where the glowing ones are in on radiation rumble is the big one
Yes, this!
Yes 👍
What about us shotgun builds who have to be close or the kills get stolen
@@FS-Flame Camping the hallways results in less spawns, if you're using a shotgun build try switching to an explosive shotgun to tag multiple enemies or switch to something else temporarily like a Tesla gun.
@@FS-Flame this applies to the people that just camp and kill all the enemies before they can even turn the corner
Skyline Valley actually is the only region where you can nuke anywhere inside the region, but not harm anyone or their bases. While the area affected by the nuke still has that nuclear ambiance and environment, you will not die if the nuke goes off if you are say right where the nuke is supposed to go off, and afterwards, the area will not dose you with Rads.
I agree with these unwritten rules that you shared, they are helpful, especially the two (one is don't lockpick other people's stuff at their camps), and the other one of spamming their explosive weapons especially in events, which I have found to be rather irritating on both Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
When I first started 76 I locked picked a device in a camp. I didn't take anything and I didn't know anybetter and I got a 10 cap bounty on my head.😢😢
I went to an event where one guy was constantly spamming explosives to the point all we could see was flashes. EVERYONE else on the event was repeatedly emoting 'no' and 'angry'... did he stop? Nope...
@OddRickk my mate asked me to check if his was locked by trying to pick it... like you, I didn't take anything. Immediate bounty, high level came and one shot killed me 🤣 we all did a thumbs up and I haven't done it again lol
@rowanthorn4547 if the vendor it's easy to find I don't poke around. My vendor is in an outside-covered Kiosk
And if it's unlocked, take what you need. I leave my company tea, wood pile next to the stove, sometimes junk machines, and pemmican collectors open for folks to grab if they need it.
Perfect video for every Fallout 76 player to watch! This should be a mandatory video before you head out of the Vault.
Great food for thought and, while I agree with you mostly, it is important to remember that it is just a game. Any game mechanic that is not some kind of hack is inherently “fair play.”
For example, I don’t pick someone’s CAMP resources or take over their workshop, but I don’t complain when someone else does it to me.
My Archer or Melee character doesn’t complain that your railway rifle is killing everything so fast, so relax when it’s whips out the Nuka Launcher or starts throwing Nuka Grenades.
My Power Armor character doesn’t complain when your Bloodied Commando doesn’t throw on a Steath Suit on and lumber, overweight, through the tunnels collecting ore.
I don’t complain; it’s just a game.
Of course! Hopefully it helps people gather an idea of how they'd like to play, but ultimately none of this is set in stone, it's up to the individual.
For all it's worth, I mostly don't care what people do when I'm out there playing on my own. Yes, it's unfortunate that people sometimes camp the RR tunnels, spam explosives or whatever it may be, but I'd never care enough to actually get annoyed, or worse yet, to get on the mic to give them "a few choice words". Someone wants to chuck a nuke on my camp? No problem, but I'd much rather see that nuke go somewhere useful instead lol. A game like this is made to be played for fun, so if one's not having fun, it kind of defeats the point of playing.
One thing I will state for those that don’t know when you spawn neurological warfare the area isn’t irradiated regardless, so you can from it and the region basically eats the nuke zone and in return activates the boss
This game with its trends and atmosphere has grew so much since beta. I remember Whitespring was the place to nuke and farming legendary enemies at certain spots in the map.
I have left Moonshine Jamboree a couple time before when several people sit on the top of the building spamming the area with explosives and never come down to collect the venom. I end up missing too much exp as I can't see the dang mobs. I use the 5mm gatling gun so I don't kill mobs and other people have a chance at the exp. There are a lot of cool people out there but the recent influx of dorks is causing me to stay on my private server more lately.
I agree with and wish more people followed the one about spamming explosive weapons in events. Lately it seems like any event you go to it’s nothing but constant giant explosions, which gets quite annoying if you’re trying to do anything other than just finish the event.
Its pribably due to the NukaLauncher being in the atom shop currently. The best auto40mm does have a significant pull to use :P
Thank you for telling people to Not nuke Dropsite, appreciate you. The Nuka Launcher is a menace. I have it and use it for reflective enemies but sparingly.
Bros mad about a weapon, I'm gonna use all the nuclear key cards I've been collecting to nuke dropsite in all servers i join from now on
@@FS-Flame I just logged into a server and the drop site is nuked. I was looking for you and thinking, well played sir!
just FYI but you can also drop the nuke right on top of the weather station because the nuke doesnt actually hit the ground so there's no nuke zone. No one is gonna be getting tons of rads when fighting the goliaths
I learned the hard way to wait for folks to start events.
And then, no one is coming to the Event and u have to pass it
@@rolfkraulein2903 If no one else shows up, letting it pass is usually the best option. I for one am not set up to solo, say, the rescue of Moona Lisa.
Interesting list. I semi agree. If people need to farm mobs in a nuke zone whitesprings is being hit. If your camp is there, I am sorry. I’ve never done it but I’ve been on servers where it happened. And then I farmed mobs and bought something from their store 😂. Also - dead on w starting events early. A level 30 started the Wild West show with just them and me there. Luckily a few others showed up, but I hate failing events. Congrats on 100! On to 100,000🎉
That's fair game for sure. Nuking Whitespring used to be incredibly common back in the day after all!
@@prizmere I’m a fairly new player - since may 2024 - so a lot of this is new. First time I dropped a Nuke on the bog I covered everything I could - my mindset was I wanted her adds in the blast zone for the mass/fluids. I understand why it’s better practice to leave the fight zone clean - but as someone with under 20 of all flux, I need my mats 😂
The explosive weapons one people really need to follow better lately. Just a few days ago, there was at least 3 people running those which made collecting the gubbons really annoying. Hell, the server was slightly lagging and i think one of them actually lagged out XD
Its kinda funny that in 76 most pepole do actualy follow these rules, compaired to most other online games where everyone is looking out for themselfs. The 76 comunity is pretty great =)
Personally, i like fighting the queen at Forward Station Delta so i leave that out of the nuke for the queen. You don't always need to fight at the drop zone. What is irritating is when someone bullseyes the fissure with nuke which makes it so nowhere is out of the zone
One thing I realized as well with the skyline valley boss is even after nuking hawksbill weather station, I get zero radiation inside the boss room with or without power armor
Do not go Offline or deactivate your Camp, when someone wants tu buy Something at your Vendor
Especially when your camp is in the mountains and you've put your vendor on a ledge hanging out over the abyss. It's not fun to be in the middle of browsing someone's plans only to suddenly fall to my death nowhere near another respawn point.
I played 76 day one and it is so different now. I love it! These tips were super helpful, can’t wait for more!
What's annoying me atm is people 1 shotting festive scorched during events like line in the sand. I always tag then emote and run towards people to give them a chance to tag. The amount of times i've seen one, aimed and someone with a launcher or something has just blown it up so no one else gets a tag in.... especially as every day there is a daily for 10 festive scorched.
I would rename this video to “how to be a decent human being” … great list of points that a number of veterans never adhere to …
Okay so for the nuke thing the neurological warfare event will start no matter where you nuke in skyline valley and it doesn’t matter if you nuke right in the wether station or not because the nuke dissipates in the atmosphere so there is minimal radiation
Also for radiation rumble, for the collecting ore portion, you really only need to get reward level one just for it to complete.
Very true, especially if you solo it, however I find the more ore (up to level 4) seems to (for me at least) result in more or higher level legendary items to drop. Also Friendly Fire - charisma card (and a Flaming weapon) will keep the NPC workers at high to full health. I usually put on my Chinese Stealth grab 10 ore and switch back to my regular armor/under armor at the beginning.
All good to know! I am in the 80/90 level right now and I didn't know this. Thank you!
People who are on your team don’t need to tag, they will get half the Xp if they are within range. A tag will get full Xp.
Full XP is always better than 50% of course, but good mention nevertheless!
also correct me if im wrong but u dont need to tag legendary enemies in order to get their loot if they spawn for an event. its like the legendary loot is always shared in events. this doesnt work for normal enemies or legendary enemies outside of events.
etiquette used to be to not instakill legendary mole miner supervisors, for example, but now its not too big a deal so long as they die nearby
Correct! Before we did indeed need to tag them, nowadays just being nearby when they die will do it.
Don’t build your camp in front of Charleston Train Station. It prevents rare vendor spawn
For the team, start it in expedition or daily op and let others join, then switch it to casual while you do the expedition or daily op for more xp, then switch it back right before you complete the expedition or daily op. I do this with events all the time as well.
Actually, with the queen you can also nuke to the north and leave a bottom location free to jump to
I had someone message me bitching about XP on the rad rumble one… I’m a really nice guy, I always drop 20 plus stims for low level players and help them when they start events alone.. that shit bothered me though. Complaining about XP when the objective is to keep the guys alive. At least you seem to understand there are different priorities at different times.
I usually drop company tea before the event starts.
A lot of people especially higher level players do that event exclusively for the XP
Unless you were camping hallways I don’t see what you can do wrong
Thanks for this. Now hopefully the one shot people that show up to events see it. I've leveled up in Radiation rumble several times during one event. Other times, I barely make any progress because of the one shot people firing away. While rare, those massive explosions have crashed my game too. So frustrating!
You can directly nuke the weather station 2:30
Loved the video. The more people who play with theses rule the better for everyone
I like irradiated boss areas for the high radiation fluids.
The new area you can nuke the area where the event pops off and it won't kill anyone in the event location because the Rad storm actually eats the nuke it's awesome my friends would nuke it when I was standing in the arena and I didn't die from the nuke that exploded right above me
What's funny is, I've never seen anyone follow these rules. People always spawn camp, spam explosive weapons to launch the bodies, start events early. I see it from low levels and high levels.
I agree. Mostly. Sharing experience is hard.
Oh...and i would have included not to start daily ops early. Had that happen twice today. Third time; me and one other person finished it easily because i was able to put power armor on, which can take time with lag and visual glitches.
I do like Nuking nuka world when I do the ultracite titan. The glowing mass and HRF are worth it.
Idk why i see 4 people sitting at an event running around waiting for people to show up and dont activate the event and get man when i as the 5th person to show up activates it imo if you aint there you snooze you loose
And if you activate it too soon, _everybody_ loses. Best to wait as long as possible for backup, except for Uranium Fever, where you have to leave time to get down to the bottom of the mine to activate the machinery.
I find the worst thing about people spamming explosive weapons is that the screen shakes violently when in first person mode as well as a large explosion animation when you're close so it's difficult to get a lock on an enemy when there's somebody firing a rocket or mini nuke every few seconds. It's even more annoying when the event is in a fairly small indoor space like uranium fever or radiation rumble.
Thankfully you can at least do something about the camera shaking. There should be an option for it within Display settings if I recall correctly.
Absolute truth! It's my dream to see all players in f76 using this rules)
Other Unwritten Rules:
1. Don’t make your Vendor, Shelter or Candy Bowls hard to find
2. Don’t go idle on vendors
3. Don’t steal other people’s XP when they are clearing out buildings
4. If you have a wanted level just let others take it so that you can enjoy the game
5. Always see if low level players need any help
6. Don’t go idle during events
7. Don’t go into a silo if you see someone else in there, as this spawns more enemies and makes it harder to complete the nuke
9. Set your vendor prices to a reasonable price
Also
I always nuke:
For Queen: Just Under Drop Site V9
For Titan: Right On Top Of The Mine
For Earl: Just On It
For Neurological: I Nuke Right On Top Of Tree Ponds
I also use The Fixer or The Creamator as they are my favourite weapons.
I don’t touch other peoples stuff unless it’s unlocked.
I don’t start events unless I have at least 5 people.
When I am doing Rad Rumble I focus on healing the NPC’s because I have Friendly Fire.
nuking for Earl, I would say is to not nuke in way to also hit robot arena, often it indeed, as if intentionally, starts during place being still in radiation zone
Good point, that slipped my mind!
I wish people didn’t get so offended over pvp in this game.
Almost every single time I accidentally shoot someone and they shoot back and instantly down then them they start sending super salty hate messages full of racial and homophobic slurs. I’ve got so many people comms bans over it lol.
Don’t freeze the scorched Queen when she’s in the air!
Why not, do you wanna waste ur Ammo for not hitting the Queen, i am always Happy about it, If someone is freezing her in the Air, so i can hit her with my Heavy Weapons, If she is flying around Like crazy, i cannot hit her and this Ammo wasting
Why not? It makes it way easier to kill.
@@smac2047 you have enough time to kill her. When she’s on the ground, enemies spawn! You can make a lot xp and collect loot and if in a nuke zone, get many hard Mass etc.
Another thing if someone comes to your workshop and engages pvp with you dont cry about it and say your going to report them thats what workshops are there for its a pvp event. Dont want to pvp dont take workshops or go into a private server
Or, y'know, don't be an asshole and jump in on your level 3006 toon just in order to bully some level 15 out of a workshop you have no plans to exploit. Just because you _can_ do a thing, it does not follow that you therefore _should_ do a thing.
@@DeaconBlues117 lmao I can tell you're one of those cry babies crying about pvp. if Bethesda didn't want pvp to happen, they wouldn't put it in the game ,and your characters level means nothing in fallout 76 you can be just as powerful with a level 15.
@@Sean-MacGuire No, you're just another asshole. Go play Fortnite with the other brats.
Thank you sir for making this video. A very educational video for new comers. Especially the explosive ammo and insta killing.
Great video! Very pertinent and important information players must know.👍🏽
enemies killed by explosive weapon will turn into meat piles at the place they got killed, if you wait a few seconds you can still loot them. No worry about the corpes flying away
Thanks for sharing, that slipped my mind. You'd still have to wait for them to spawn unfortunately, which isn't really ideal. Any idea of how long it takes until they become meat piles?
Also, don't spam Cremators on spawn areas; one shot is enough, two are annoying, three make you a terrible player.
Standing on a concrete box isn't fun for the queen fight,
Nuke it right and fight her at forward station delta, AND you have a chance to spawn a collossus wendigo in the grove. Way more mobs and mayhem, way more fun.
That's basically an Earl, takes forever to solo but you can set up a survival tent and take your time. I always include that forest in the nuke zone.
2. Correct nuking. Nonsense. Your nuke. Your placement. Been the rule for years. Been playing since launch, a bloodied build and still drop it dead center on Fissure Prime occasionally. Why? All the mobs drop stabilizing stabilozing mats for flux.
Guide: "don't nuke people's camps/workshops, and don't spam explosives"
Me: *entire play style built around explosives and turning places into craters for the past 3 years* (will probably not change)
Your first rule is like half a rule honestly. You should ALWAYS be in a casual team during an expedition or daily ops. You only get the bonus at the very end of each. Might as well get extra XP from what you are doing instead of just leaving XP on the table just to advertise your actions.
There's nothing worse than spending a key card to call in the sheepsquatch, and having someone else start the event when I'm not ready..... I've just started camping terminal even if I go AFK so then that way no one else can start it till I'm ready
Love the rules buddy. Keep them coming. Just subscribed. 👍
Unwritten rule: If someone complains about explosions but is rude about it, craft nuka grenades and hand them out to people to annoy the other guy.
there's something even better for those annoying guys: get the Hellstorm missile launcher, upgrade it to cryo payload. Then equipo grenadier level 2....that things completely blinds the screen with whiteness, and it slowly fades away.
If you use the cremator, please think about using the mod No Cremator Explosion on Nexus mods so you do not blind other people playing with you. I hope that some day there will be a setting to turn the effect off.
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I was told I am playing the game wrong by using my 2 shot fatman. I then proceeded to make sure I had as much fun possible. Fallout is Fallout there are technically no rules other than enjoy the game.
The amount of people that would use a cremator at the Fasnacht event was annoying. there were times I'd only get credit for killing one Super Mutant which wasted the berry mentats. I would literally jump worlds after just to see if I could get less cremator users for the next Fasnacht event.
xp you gain it if nearby team mates kills, its loot you need to do 1% damage on a mob to get your own loot. Note loot is unique to you
OMG.... i'm 270 lvl and i just found that you are suppose to gather ORE in Radiation rumble :D :D :D
It's great to wait on people but if you're in an event like uranium fever you can fail the event by waiting too long. We started the event 60 seconds before running down and failed the second we got there and everyone was ??? Emoting. It was so sad we had so many people
i've heard 8 different people say its not nice to do something in this game but yall can hang that up your playing with people it's ganna happen not bots.
I run a bloodied unarmed bulit with hack and slash, eploding palm and collateral damage and grenider so i make explosions just by playing the game. The search all bodies makes it to where your never going to loose bodies
I add a rule , u need to all the time ask before buy stuff in players vend shop . If they are max caps and u buy a 2k plan , player lost 2k caps ..
Pretty sure it doesn’t matter in skyline valley where you nuke as the storm absolves all radiation from the nukes.
The worst I've seen is when someone starts shooting, and even spamming mini nukes in radiation rumble.!?!? Talk about blinding everyone! I almost just left. Lately lots of players are running the halls. Many are trying to get the kill. Honestly, I don't think they know any better. Most of the other games out there are super competitive. I'm just glad there are really tough bosses you can't "one shot". People gotta know, this is supposed to be a shared game. It's not all about you... speaking rhetorically that is.
Not an unwritten rule but more like a tip, have your messages open to everyone! Someone might be trying to trade you for something or try to help you! This community has been really friendly and I’ve never messaged or tried to message people more than when I play this game
I’m gonna challenge number 5, I can solo every event, so if I’m in the server ppl need to hurry up and get to the event instead of taking your time, cause high level players like me and my team we hate waiting to start things.
That whole "spamming explosive weapons" thing...players do not care about other players.
One way to guarantee a player spams his 2 shot MIRV Fatman is to tell him its a sick thing to do. They do it specifically because others hate it. Fkn check valve players.
Just a note - i launched a nuke with the weather station in the blast radius, but technically it was outside skyline valley, so it didn't trigger the event... So just be aware of that.
Sharing perks adequately (if possible) is a rule I use and apparently is a unwritten rule ive heard. I specifically have a glitched door that leads to a wall for those being punks lol as for spamming explosives if I'm not getting XP because some dude Overpowered vats build nobody is I know a little secret to get more punch out of my fat man i get 4 mirvs out of my 2 shot.
I try not to use AGL's in events but as soon as someone starts blasting shit, BRO, you aint out blasting me
I give other Players enough Time to participate for Events, If No one ist coming, i have to Start the Event at the Last Minute, or the Event is gone. I hate it to pass an Event, cuz no one is coming
Don't stand in the hallway of radiation rumble.
radiation rumble. use a tesla rifle. if u dont have one, get one. dont use explosive weapons like autogranatelauncher
