I got stuck in the opening room, the frigging door won't open.
Great start!

I have a phone holder for my stadia controller and removed the phone holder part and shoved a tablet holder on it. Last night was bliss laying in bed with a 10 inch old tablet doing dailies on FO76. Got to love Steam link.
Does anyone have a good build for a silenced Kabloom I could work my way to? I am really enjoying the exploding rounds. Currently I'm a half baked silenced pistol build.

Cheers for the offer but I'm ok plodding along so far even if the start hasn't been as good as the first time. After some more time with the new character the little irritation is I have different workshop plans and don't have the free npc BoS guy from the shop. I don't even have all of the basic crafting benches yet so not sure if it's bugged or is just random. Found the chem bench last night which I had straight off away the first time. Why shop things / plans aren't account wide I've no idea.
I've no idea how much time I'll put into FO76 but I expect most of it will just be building and tweaking my house

My legendary drops and rolls have been fun over the last couple of days
Quad/25% faster/250DR reload Tesla rifle as a legendary drop from a Mirelurk Queen
Instigating/+25% damage when aiming/25% vats Enclave Plasma sniper rifle (sadly not great for my initial plan to use it as a flamer)
Anti Armor/+25% faster/15% critical fill - plasma rifle that I will mod into a flamer.
Vampire/25% faster/100% movement speed - beta wave plasma flamer. It dropped as that - very happy, eats plasma cells and breaks very quickly.
Instigating/Explosive combat shotgun - going to surpress this for up close boommaking
Vampire/+25% damage when aiming/90% weight reduction minigun - I shall name this The Immortalizer.

Have you got a holy fire yet?
Not yet. Slowly working my way through everything.
Did just get an Instigating/+25 damage/+15 % reload speed lever action though. That may well become my standard sniper rifle.
Well that's level 150 and score rank 100 reached today.
Been having a lot of fun with the cremator. Got 2 of them. One is a single shot and the other is a quad barrel depending on the situation. Been using the Vampire Minigun as a backup weapon.
Also finally got around to joining an Earle fight today too. Forgot all about that one. Few hits on Earle and then went on farming the wendigo spawn for screws and fuel. Used 900 or so fuel, gained 2200 when looting. Also just under 500 screws. That'll do for a little while.
I think the only main storyline thing I have to do now is launch a nuke.

Glad your enjoying it.
Game is great.

Finally getting my Heavy combat armour journey underway. Looks like overeaters is the way to go for full health shotgun builds. Next is to get the plans for a combat shotgun so I can have that for fun.
Been experimenting with a few different legendary effects. Rolled an Aristocrats explosive 90% reduced weight fixer. I have no idea why Aristocrat's legendary isn't more popular. I've had close to 40k caps for the last 50 levels so it's easy to get a 50% bonus on all shots, compared to the 100% on the first shot only with instigating, or 25% with 2 shot... 
Also, I know bloodied can do 90%, but I'm a full heath sneak sniper, with a cremator for those emergency "eat crap and die!" moments.

I use a quad Railway rifle, explosive and 25% less vats I think it is. I run a bloodied build but at 20% health just to get into the Nerd rage part. I don't understand why more don't use aristocrats too, full health commando was my build before and I had an aristocrats fixer, like you said caps aren't really a problem unless you buy everything in the game (like me)....oooh that reminds me it's 6k caps for 300 gold night tonight isn't it?Been experimenting with a few different legendary effects.

I might make it on tonight as I need to do the 3rd gold star for my weekly rewards, I think I'm around 120ish on the board but I've missed loads of days on it.
Cremator is insanely good but it's just a bit easy with one, I guess that and Holy Fire are good for "eat crap and die!" moments though lol.
How are you getting on with serums?
For the full 50% bonus you only need 29k caps. Gives you 11k to play with. 2 shot also has an accuracy penalty. 2 shot explosive may do more damage, but it's only if both shots hit which at sniping range is not a given.
Haven't spent much time with the railway rifle. Haven't had many drop and don't think I have the plan for it. Will have to check that one. Might work as a sniper rifle, no suppressor but with range and Chinese stealth suit... ???
Got all the serums I want for now, was looking for grounded, but holding off on that as I have a instigating enclave plasma rifle that I may play with for a bit. Currently running with: Carnivore, healing factor, egg head, eagle eyes, herd mentality, marsupial and speed demon. Am also running Class Freak at level 3, Starched genes at level 2and strange in numbers perks which helps with the negatives when in a team.

Oh wow, Becketts quests don't half drag.
Soldato
Forgot I’ve not actually done that one yet, I’m using Yasmin chowdhurry just now, 4000 gold for the odd meal lol. She does sell brain bombs and relish sometimes but not often.
Associate
Didn't even know about her. I don't even remember how I got Beckett lol.
Soldato
i started his quest by rescuing him from a cell at a raiders camp I think, just never did any more. I have his bar so I think I just need to build it at my camp.
Yasmin is available for 4K gold when you are ally with foundation I think, she does sell some rare foods sometimes so it’s not all bad….4K gold though, ouch. Oh and she is utterly filthy, she is meant to be a cook!
I have a few allies but I just stick with her.

Haha, no food hygiene ratings in the wasteland. You get a side of maggots for free and a bottle of parasite juice.
