76 Thoughts

Never favourite Stimpacks. Put Diluted Stimpack on your ♡ list instead, that way when you inevitably keep accidentally hitting the R direction button on the quick menu, you'll waste less.

You're a Pioneer, not a Settler! This game is all about exploring the world left behind only a quarter of a century after the Great War. You are among the first to emerge, so gathering resources and pushing ever onward is your priority.

Your C.A.M.P. is not your Castle. It can be a highly fortified tent or a cosy cabin but it is made to be moveable!

Don't go into a blast zone to get that quest item. Just...don't do it.

Not all players online speak your language! Don't let that stop you from teaming up, though. Learn to use the Emoticon wheel quickly. No, not the circle menu..the..the other button. Oh, just..switch off the Pip boy. Yes, hello! Trade? ...Where've they gone?

There is no Pause button. Hide in a quiet spot, preferably crouched, with Stealth mode engaged, then heed that call of nature.

Claim Workshops. You're renting on a very short term lease but the plans, resources, rewards and XP are absolutely worth the battle & build session.

There will be more Fallout 76 thoughts in future posts. Your comments might even inspire some. Please. I have 69 more to go!

76 Thoughts (part 2)

8. Don't be such a scav-rat!

Learn some restraint and be discerning in your looting. You can only carry so much; make it all count.

9. Acquire, sort, scrap, bulk. You've lived in a Vault for 25 years, you are now an expert at decluttering and space-saving!

10. Don't overlook that plastic spoon! You need plastic for packaging your other materials in bulk and for making shotgun shells.

11. Upgrade. Armour and weapons obviously but also in your C.A.M.P. Found plans for better turrets? Scrap all the old ones and build one or two less of the better version. You'll make space in your build budget for that musical instrument you always wanted to play!

12. Give presents. Drop a baggy filled with a few goodies for the other dwellers you meet. It is quicker than trading and will show goodwill. They might even return the favour.

13. Killed it? Then cook it as soon as possible. Who wants to be lugging round pounds of rotting organic matter?

14. Pick flowers! There are so many delicious herbal teas and other recipes available. Just don't - do not - sample raw herbs before cooking.

So, tell me your tips, tricks and times you were tripped up. What materials do you prioritise?

Stay tuned for more Fallout 76 thoughts!
