If the item is showing as claimed, that means that it is free to claim from the Atom Shop.

I came across a bunch of cultists in burning springs right near the meadow breeze warehouse or whatever. They were all ina daze standing around 3 big Abraxo barrels that were on fire. Anyway I stood there and watched them for a while in stealth wondering if it was a weird bug. Then I stood up and woke em all, so killed then as they became hostile. Then I walked over to the pile of barrels and it gave me an interact prompt and suddenly the mothman appeared out of nowhere. My vision went all weird like with pipe and the mothman was gone. I did fire at him but I think he just vanished. Anyway, that was fun. Just wondered if anyone else has seen it. I think I got video of it. I’ll check later and post it if I find it.

So, last night I was running into places that I knew had bathrooms to try and get the three plungers. After I found a couple I remembered the Rusty Pick had at least one bathroom so I traveled over there.

Ran inside the bathroom, and there's a young kid in there with clown type makeup on and wearing the slasher shirt and pants.

He was an interactable NPC. Goofy answers, but still several conversation directions. Funny stuff. We talked it out for a couple minutes or so, I grabbed the last plunger I needed and left.

I post this because I have never seen him mentioned anywhere online. Anyone else run into him? Am I just oblivious?

I got carried away the other night, stayed up way too late, and ended up taking over 100 photos... haha, it is the game's fault for re-rolling one of my daily challanges into "Take a photo using photomode".

It was hard to narrow them down, but here are some of those photos that I decided to share here!

I’m thinking it’s impossible. I did one today with just one other player - we timed out at the vertibird because we ran out of stuff to make mischief with, Lost wasn’t spawning anymore after we killed a number of them.

I picked up my first one of these after the update and it has a super weird perk that is not patterned after a card. +20% damage for every 1000 RAD resistance.

So, oddly enough, I am one of the few people who knows how to make RadShield and keeps it in mass. RadShield is a drug that provides 600 rad resistance and stacks. I pop 3 at a time and use What Rads on top of that to wander around in a nuke zone without power armor unhindered. It's made out if strangler blooms which I check for once or twice a day and I currently have over 1700 of them in my aid stash.

This wouldn't be an everyday weapon. It would be a specialty thing. Like pop 20 RadShield and try to take the EN96 shield out in one go. Maybe do the same for an infestation boss. It's totally a 'Say hello to my little friend' moment.

But before I make thus thing untradeable and use time and resources on thus weird idea, has anyone tried this?

My concern is that the damage is only 96. Aren't other weapons like this starting at 500+ damage?

It was meant to be a short break but life happens!

I did some research and got Fallout 1st so I can noodle around in a private world to get my bearings. I've played through the Skyline Valley quest line and just started Burning Springs. I'm pretty sure I've figured out the perk cards (huge changes there!) but would love any tips for a build for a full-health, human build. I used to play a vats-based commando style.

I think I've figured out the legendary crafting. This was a far-fetched dream last time I played! I scrapped some legendaries and have only gotten one mod (I know the chance is like 1%) so I did a little vendor-hopping in public worlds. I don't want to scrap my old near-godrolls because I understand tradeable legendaries are very valuable to collectors? Is that true? I've only been to a few camps selling mods, but is it normal for 1 star mods to be 3000 - 5000 caps and 2 star to be 7000-10000? I saw some 4 star mods that were priced at 40000 caps?

I'm feeling lost around pricing stuff in my vendor. Is Nukatrader and/or Fed76 even remotely accurate? The cap values for plans and outfits on these sites seems very high to me, but maybe things have changed a lot. I am mostly curious if the rarity of some of the stuff I hoarded has changed during my break. I used to sell most plans for 5 caps but it looks like I need to generate a lot of income to buy legendary mods now. What's a good resource for understanding the value of the plans and outfits I have in storage?

TIA for any tips or advice!
