The next season should be interesting. It's bringing 4-star mods, pets, fishing, a raid, and a slight overhaul to the card system.

The cards seem to be the most immediately interesting thing to me. In the game's current iteration, it feels like certain builds gain almost nothing from certain categories while all of your good cards are stacked in 2-3 groupings. My 2 builds have been "maxed out" for a while as a result of this. Additional cards/points barely added much beyond minor quality of life stuff.
This update is spreading some of the luck and agility cards over to perception and endurance. They're making several 3-star cards only 1-star and making the scaling better, too. I saw a pretty detailed rundown of it, and I actually think almost everyone will benefit.

The 4-star mods sound pretty unbalanced, but nobody is quite sure how rare they're actually going to be. Some are VERY clearly better than others, but they might also be nigh impossible to get. Kind of like the 3-star Unyielding mods are right now. I still try to buy one of those every chance I get and I almost never see 'em. When I do, they're nearly always 20K caps.

No clue how the raid will work since so few F76 player use microphones. I wasn't playing when the previous ones were in effect. I figure I'll probably rock my full-health overeaters PA setup initially and see how it does. I imagine a low health build potentially struggling if the raid is anything like the nuke bunkers.

 

[Domingo]

EDIT: New season is live. The shifting around of cards definitely allowed me to move some things around and get a few cards that I was never able to stack before. On the other hand, I've died twice from seemingly weak enemy hits. I know I've only got 20-25% health with the bloodied thing, but that's never happened before. I'm guessing some of the scaling algorithms actually nerf some defensive cards...or there's a math error somewhere. On the plus side, I have some motivation to actually max out a few more legendary perks now that I can actually equip the additional cards.

The pets thing seems like it could be bait for people to spend real $. You either have to get 'em in the Atomic Shop or get waaaaay up there in the Seasonal board. High enough where casual players aren't gonna get there unless they're on Fallout 1st.

I've seen people teaming up for the raid, so that seems to be underway. I'll probably give it a go sometime this weekend. I guess it has 4 parts and it's pretty damn challenging, BUT it shouldn't take all day like a Destiny raid can.

No clue about the 4-star legendaries yet.

The release notes for the Gleaming Depths are freaking huge!

https://bethesda.net/en/article/5jYSbvocrji7E0eDJRJl9z/fallout-76-the-gleaming-depths-release-notes

 

[Domingo]

I won't have time to do the raid for several days, but I've definitely noticed everday enemies taking more hits to die and me taking fewer hits to die. Not just anecdotally, either. People are dying left and right and that's something you didn't see all that often before the update. I'm thinking that's probably related to the 4-star mods. If people started adding those to already OP'd gear the game would be a breeze. Wild guess, adding those will probably bring things back to the way it was before.

 

[Domingo]

I've had a little time to mess around with the raid. It isn't too tough/long, but it's definitely a challenge. With a solid 4-person team it takes between 30 to 60 minutes (depending on how many times you succeed/fail) so not too crazy. Definitely nothing like those Destiny raids that take 1/2 a day. The first mission is a straight up shootout, the second is a little "puzzle'ish," the third is a shootout again, 4th is a puzzle again, and the 5th is just a spongy boss. The 4th's the toughest IMO, but if your team doesn't know the 2nd stage it could be tough, too. You'll definitely want power armor in all of the rounds except the 2nd, although I'm sure people will probably figure out some better tactics over time.

EDIT: The 4th phase tends to get kinda buggy, too. Enemies getting stuck in the walls and/or not moving. I've noticed lots of people bailing in that phase since the best way to approach it takes a while. I've actually had more luck solo'ing that phase than playing with a team. Not sure what people are trying to do, but I've noticed even experienced players dying super fast in that phase and then bugging out when people take it slow. I've played that phase 5-6 times and of those, I've pretty much solo'd it 90% of the time. The enemies are invincible except for the crystals exploding. You have to group them together and then shoot the crystals. It's not that complicated, but almost nobody seems to do that. As long as the enemies aren't stuck in the walls, just run around and shoot the crystals when 3-4 enemies are piled up near them. It takes like 10 minutes, but it's not that rough. I've only actually full-on failed it when the enemies are stuck.

 

[Domingo]

After finally getting some of the really good 4-star weapons mods (especially Pyromaniac's on the Holy Fire), I'm noticing damage seems to be back where it was. I think they just rebalanced everything with those in mind. You do still take boatloads of damage, though. Since you need 5 of of those 4-star armor mods to get the most out of 'em, those seem like way more of a grind.

Related, the new (quite good) Vulcan PA set is a massive grind, too. It's offensively okay out of the gate, but your weight limit booster and armor mods require raid grinding to unlock. I'm hoping Minerva will sell 'em at some point, as I'm kinda already over the raid. It's such a crapshoot between good and bad entirely depending on your team. I've played with players that are level 200 and phenomenal and players who are level 1500 that suck ass. I'm not just talking unlucky - they just don't have any idea what they're doing and they do 0 damage. Trick is, raids = the only way to get Vulcan parts/mods/plans and 4-star legendary mods. I guess people can sell the mods, but the Vulcan stuff seems to be locked down.

I'm (finally) only a few days away from unlocking the black cat I've been grinding for, so at least there's that!

 

[Domingo]

Quick addendum on the raid, the whole "solo the first boss" trick works really well, but it's going to be patched out pretty soon. The current test server has already removed it.

You need a full set of troubleshooters PA (pretty common stuff) and an auto-axe with the 4-star pounders mod (rare). Some type of vampire weapon also helps, but isn't 100% required. If you don't have one, you'll need 20'ish stims. You end up getting that many for killing the thing, so you can repeat the process over and over. I've gotten to the point where I can kill it in about 1:15 each time and I haven't failed in forever. It's tricky at first, but once you do it 3-4 times, it's easy. Just jump into the center ring, make sure you have the reflective card on, and either vampire or heal until its shields are gone. When the shields are toast, auto axe it to death.

It isn't the most fun thing in the world, BUT I do have a full suite of Vulcan armor and at least a couple of each of the 4-star mods. With so many mods showing up in the raid, I've taken to making my vendor shop a mod specialty store. It keeps the caps flowing and I'm helping mod hunters out, too.

 

[Domingo]

I'm finally moving on from F76. Seriously this time I finally maxed out all the legendary perk card mods and frankly, I've run out of stuff to do. Seemingly nobody is raiding in groups anymore.

Anyone in need of any "normal" 1-4 star mods? I have a decent stock of all of them except rejuvenators, reflective, and pinpointers. Those 3 are borderline impossible to find via any vendors. I have at least 1-2 of all the other ones, though.

I was assuming they removed the ability to solo the first raid boss, but per the Reddits I guess it still works. Now's definitely the time to go grind that thing if you're interested in the Vulcan set. The amount of time it took me to get all of those different mods (gimbal arms, jetpack, etc.) is off the charts. You get the occasional 4-star mods, too, but I seemed to keep getting the shitty ones over and over.

 

[Sumanji]

Anyone in need of any "normal" 1-4 star mods? I have a decent stock of all of them except rejuvenators, reflective, and pinpointers. Those 3 are borderline impossible to find via any vendors. I have at least 1-2 of all the other ones, though.

I'm relatively new to the game (maybe level 30 something?) - will happily take any gear you don't need anymore!

How does raiding typically work? Are clans are thing, or is it mostly PUGs?

Cool. I guess they're about to make some Mod changes so we might be better holding off (it's related to scrapping and weights) but I'll happily give you a whole bunch of stuff once that update hits. It's the "ghoul" update coming in 6'ish weeks.

The Raids are mostly PUGs. If you see those various teams people are creating/joining, there's one for Raiding. You can just hop on a team with less than 4 players and you're good to go. If they're already in the Raid, it'll transport you to whichever phase everyone else is at. Most people don't bother using microphones, but they can be helpful if someone is totally lost on what to do. I'd recommend just watching a quick Raid FAQ video so you know roughly what's going on. There are 5 phases, which take maybe 5-10 minutes each depending on how strong the team is.

Hey, just looping back on this! I am now level 113 (lol) and have a better idea of how mods work, so would be super grateful if you're still down to share any of your excess mods!

I'm away from my desktop PC for a bit, but should be back in front of it in a few weeks. I haven't touched the game in 6 months, so I'm sure there are new mods and the ones I have likely been rebalanced. I bet some of the weaker ones I kept probably got major buffs, though! If my backlog wasn't a mile long I'd probably go back to 76 for a bit.

I'd be very down to hop on and play with some fellow [H] folks

 

[CAD4466HK]

Major huge update. Had to cut some of it off because of the character limit.

Fallout 76: Gone Fission Release Notes
Put on your most comfortable outfit and drop your C.A.M.P. next to some serene water. You’ve got some fishing to do.

The irradiated Appalachian waters now play host to a variety of different fish of different rarities.

Remember. Anywhere you can swim, you can fish.

---

Update Highlights​

• Casting Off – Make your way over to The Mire to start your fishing adventure!
• Mystery of the Axolotol – Every month an axolotl will be available to catch in two zones around Appalachia.
• Local Legends – Big game awaits! Haul them in and show them off in your C.A.M.P.
• Season 21: Gone Fission – A brand new season with rewards that are fishtacular.

---

Casting Off – New Questline​

Head over to Fisherman’s Rest, a new location in the Mire where you’ll begin your fishing journey. Here you will meet a new trio of new characters. The disoriented Captain Raymond Clark, a mysterious new figure who goes by the name The Fisherman, and Linda-Lee, the Fisherman’s adorable pet hermit crab.

During the “Casting Off” questline you’ll receive a working Fishing Rod - allowing you to walk up to any body of water and start fishing. When deciding where you can fish, remember the mantra: “If you can swim in it, you can fish in it.”

Do note that the Fishing Rod won’t appear in your Pip-Boy menu as it’s not an item you need to equip. When you’re standing next to and looking at a body of water, the “Fish” command will appear on your screen. The Fishing Rod will show up in your Tinkers Workbench menu so you can modify it though.

Upgrading your Fishing Rod​

You can find the pieces needed to upgrade your fishing rod by completing the new fishing challenges and daily fishing quests. These will reward you with rod styles, bobbers, and linear reels to fine tune your fishing experience and help you catch the mysterious creatures living in the irradiated waters of the wasteland.

It’s important to know that some fish will be near impossible to catch until you upgrade your fishing rod, so get out there and complete those fishing challenges!

Catching Fish (Bait and Weather)​

You can have the best-looking fishing rod in Appalachia, but it won’t help you catch any fish if you’re not using bait.

There are three types of bait to gather, and each one increases your chances of enticing rarer fish to bite down on your hook.

Common Bait

Gives you the chance to catch generic fish, scrapable junk, and common regional fish.
Common Bait is purchasable from The Fisherman and Captain Raymond Clark in Fisherman’s Rest. You also have a chance to receive this bait after completing the daily fishing quest.

Improved Bait

This bait gives you an increased chance of catching uncommon fish. While it’s not purchasable from any vendor, you can trade Improved Bait with other players. You can also get more from the daily fishing quest, public events, and finding it in lootable containers around the world.

Superb Bait

Earnable as rewards in Season 21, this bait gives you the best chance to catch very rare fish.

Weather

Weather also influences your odds of catching specific types of fish. Naturally occurring weather, as well as modified weather from a Weather Control Station in your C.A.M.P. will affect the type of fish that bite down on your hook.

Clear Weather:

Best suited for catching common fish that can be found in any region.

Rainy Weather:

Rainy weather has an increased chance of catching region-specific fish, as well as the elusive Axolotls.

Radstorm/Nuke Weather:

Radstorms and weather caused by nukes increase the chance of catching Glowing Fish.
We’ll leave it to you all to figure out which combination of bait and weather will give you the highest chance of helping you find the fish you want.

Food and More Adventures​

Now that you’ve captured a few fish, what can you do with them?

Of course, you can eat them directly out of your inventory to restore some Hunger and Health. The larger the fish, the more you’ll regain.

You can also turn fish into...

Fish Bits

When you obtain a fish by fishing or trading with players, you immediately learn the recipe to convert that fish into Fish Bits at a Cooking Station. Fish Bits can restore small amounts of Hunger/Health on their own, but that’s not the best way to utilize this new material.

When at a cooking station, you’ll notice a new food recipe. The Grilled Fish recipe becomes available after completing the main fishing questline. When eaten it provides you with an effect that reduces the time to hook a fish for 20 minutes, which is perfect because you’re about to do a whole lot of fishing.

Completing fishing daily quests will give you the chance to earn other food recipes that utilize Fish Bits such as Fish and Tatos and Fish Chowder.

There’s one other location where you can use Fish Bits. If you feed Linda-Lee Fish Bits she’ll give you a random Legendary item- just don’t ask where it came from.

Time to Explore​

With the addition of fishing there is now a lot of aquatic life for you to find.
Common fish can be found across the map, but there are a ton of region-specific fish to discover along with their glowing variants.

There are also 12 adorable Axolotls to find. One of these glorious amphibians will be available for you to catch every month throughout the year. Keep an eye on our social channels for hints on where they’re located every month.

Lastly, Local Legends. These are the fish you’ll be bragging about catching. That’s all we’ll say about them for now.

Flaunting the Catch​

Completing fishing challenges and dailies will reward you with new C.A.M.P. items along with upgrades for your fishing rod. One of these items is a curved fish display so you can show off that rare local legend or Axolotl you were able to catch!

Season 21: Gone Fission​

Speaking of flaunting. Season 21 brings a whole suite of new fishing-themed rewards for you to unlock.

Watch the trailer above and then head over to our Season 21: Gone Fission article for more information.

Starting today, unused Season Tickets will be turned into Gold Bullion when the next season starts. This retroactively applies to your unused tickets from the previous three seasons.

When you log in after today’s update, you’ll be greeted with a message asking you to confirm the transfer of Gold Bullion to your character inventory. If you’re not sure you have the space, deny the transfer and check your character. The next time you launch the game you’ll be greeted with the same message.

Combat Rebalance – A Year in Update​

Last year we kicked off our long-term combat rebalancing project with the Skyline Valley update.
We started this work wanting to make sure:

• combat felt interesting and engaging.
• most/if not all weapons felt satisfying to use.
• all builds and weapons should have a reasonable amount of viability.
• manual aim should be satisfying and effective while still allowing VATS to perform well in specialized builds.
• majority of players should have an opportunity to participate in group content.
  • reduce the need for “tag the mob” play styles.

With the changes made so far, we’ve seen significant improvement in the variety of ranged weapons being used. There are also fewer difficulty spikes in early to mid-game locations which makes the leveling experience smoother for our newer players. Build diversity has also increased as we see people exploring the new opportunities that the Perk card changes have provided.

While we've already made significant progress, the next few updates will include a few larger and more impactful changes and represent the culmination of much of the balancing work we've done. This gives us a solid new foundation for the future content we have planned.

After these updates, we plan on slowing down to let things settle and evaluate how things shake out.

Limb Damage and Crippling Changes​

We are making changes to the way that enemy limbs are affected by various effects. The mods, perks, and weapons mentioned below previously had a chance to instantly cripple a target, but now they deal a percentage increase to the amount of limb damage dealt.

We expect that these changes will make most enemies easier to cripple while making limb damage more consistent and predictable. It will also result in making crippling enemies like Region Bosses more difficult, requiring more focused fire.

These changes will also allow us to remove cripple immunity from many creatures and leverage limb and crippling in more engaging ways moving forward.

CAMP building was the highlight of Fallout 4 and 76 for me. It sounds like they've fixed a couple of my major gripes in this update. Hopefully they've eased up on some of the object restrictions, too. CAMPs can only contain a certain number of objects and they don't always make sense. A small room made of 4 wooden walls and a roof would consist of 5x more objects than a prefab mansion that was like 40x times larger in terms of actual size and scope.

I went to play this and the game keeps hanging on the xbox live login popup. The choices are continue or choose another account... continue means stuck in a loop of it coming back up. I'm guessing it's a password issue. I currently have no games that use xbox live (but must have at some point in the past)... issue is, I can't see how to change an xbox live password... I brought up xbox in win11, but it's all passkey now... no place to change the password (if that is even the issue, guessing at this point). Any idea how to resolve?

It's technically a Microsoft account, so I'd probably try to change it via the Microsoft website. That'll trickle down to your apps and Windows itself.

Did you use your phone to sign into your account at any time? It forces you to make a passkey when you do. You can sign in with your password if you go to the website on your PC since passkeys are device specific as far as I know. You never need to create a passkey on your PC. I always bypass it when Windows updates.

The Xbox sign in for games doesn't like long passwords or special characters.

For anyone new to the game, follow the early story prompts vs. trying to go from one overseer recording to the next. You can begin the game by doing either, but the story prompts will give you a better early experience. You'll eventually need to circle back around to the recordings, but you'll be better off if you don't do them immediately. They're the core of the launch version of the game, but they've added so much more that they feel hollow these days. Basically, go to the Wayward immediately and do those missions.
