Wastelanders

he's holding a gun, what gun is he holding?

for context ss means secret service

Edit:

I was pressing the "Random page" button, and it took me to Lucky 38, I read through it, but then I came across this, I tried to track it down, but I can't find where F76's Wastelanders mentions the Lucky 38. Can anyone tell me where it's mentioned, like a note or terminal entry, or something?

In the Wastelanders quest line who should I side with: raider or settlers? I know the rewards you get from each and the rewards from the settlers are more enticing. However I really hate the settlers with a passion from how annoying they are. So my question is who should I side with

I am going to need a lot of tips.

Im level 56 i started the order of the tadpole quest long ago before wastelanders update. i saw many bloatflys before the update now i cant find a single one. can someone tell me where i can find one?? need it to finish the quest.

Now that I have some time free, I'd like to tell a short story or whatever about playing Fallout 76 recently. Now I've not been a fan of the game. I'm still not, for a lot of reasons. I played it close to launch but fell off about a year ago. But I decided given how substantial of a change it is to give it a second look with the release of Wastelanders.

So I spawned into the world on my regular character, decided that I was poorly specced, and decided I might as well take the opportunity to create one fresh. So, I build by Dweller and leave the Vault as normal. I notice the snazzy new dialogue boxes, and that the main quest has changed from finding the overseer to being directed to a snazzy building (Which inevitably leads you on the same path) and a couple new lines from the robots in the vault.

However as I was deliberately ignoring the new quests and passing a building I heard a radio. Before the update, I usually ignored Appalachia Radio (I'd heard the old songs so much and I wasn't too fond of the new songs) and either put my own music on Youtube, or Tuned into Rose's Radio for the personality, but I heard a voice that wasn't singing. Curious, I tuned in and listened to the new host of Appalachia radio; Julie. It didn't take long until one line came up though. I was passing through Morgantown Trainyard with the radio on and generally getting my new character's ass kicked when Julie piped up.

"Hey friends, Julie here. Wanted to take a second to talk about something important to me - this radio station. I try not to talk about myself too much, but maybe you've heard me mention it before: I'm only 23, but I've had more than my share of bad times. I don't say that to get you to feel sorry for me. I know that so many of you out there have had difficult lives, too. Some far, far harder than mine. I say it because I want you to know I can relate. I know what it's like to lose family and friends. To struggle. But there's one thing that always kept me going, always meant something to me. It's this place. This radio station. This music. These songs, playing out across the world for everyone to hear... they meant so much to me. They'd remind me of good times, of people I care about. Things that really matter. They offered... hope. I know it's cheesy, but it's true. When I heard that people were coming back to Appalachia, I knew I had to make the trip. To find this radio station, and make sure it stays running."

I was taken aback for a second. Fallout 76 hadn't really been a very vibrant or dynamic game to me, but that line was... good. I didn't expect 76 to do something.... Well. It was a little bit rough sure, but it was certainly more inline with what Bethesda made in the past. And as I kept listening to it

"I'm not gonna act like it's mine, like I own it or anything. I've fixed some things up, sure. But I didn't build Appalachia Radio, it doesn't belong to me.

I want to make sure it stays on the air, because... Maybe it can give someone else hope. Maybe... Maybe that someone is you. So, I hope you hear this music, and it makes you smile, or makes you think of someone you care about. That's what it's here for. That's what I'm here for."

Major Cheese incoming, but as I was walking around the Morgantown Trainyard, listening and picking off the last few Scorched... I felt it, the "Bethesda Charm", after that I actually started to... Have fun. I started to notice things about the world and the radio that I guess I was subconsciously aware of before but never really thought about. "Hey, Butcher Pete, that reminds me of good times back in Fallout 3 traipsing over the Capital Wasteland" and there I was again, Listening to Butcher Pete again, traipsing over a Wasteland just next door. I noticed more little worldbuilding "Hey look, there's a little corner here in the trainyard with a cooler and a chair with some newspapers and bottles, the workers must've come here for a drink".

It feels ridiculous, but that line made me realise something. The things Julie said:

"They'd remind me of good times, of people I care about. Things that really matter."

"I want to make sure it stays on the air, because... Maybe it can give someone else hope. Maybe... Maybe that someone is you."

"I hope you hear this music, and it makes you smile, or makes you think of someone you care about."

They were.... Right, in a way. Songs that I loathed hearing again now reminded me of the good times I'd had playing Fallout before, the great companions that we all grew to love, and in doing so; in making me notice all these small set dressings and charming little elements, It gave me hope for Fallout 76. Hope I haven't had a crumb of since before the launch.

Julie succeeded, her radio gave me hope.

All of Julie's lines are great too of course (It pains me when people say she's annoying) and they're all delivered just as energetic as they should be by Grace Rolek, but that one stood out to me. Wastelanders as a whole is certainly an improvement to 76 but I still feel like it has a ways to go before I think of it as a good game, and I'm not oblivious to the fact how that line was probably supposed to be taken is probably the way I took it, but.... Yeah. It's weird how such a small detail, just a single radio ident can dramatically change my perspective on the entire game. Like 76 or not, That's pretty commendable.

I was doing the once for preservation mission for the overseer but it will not let me pick up the feral ghoul blood sample so I can not finish the quest or continue on the the story line so if any one is having the same problem or knows how to fix this please help

Is the Sheepsquatch still in 76 or was the beast only available during the Wild Appalachia event?

How do you feel about the new Chinese Power Armor skin in the Atom Shop? I think that it shouldn't exist because it breaks the lore.

Add me if you wanna play together and check out each others CAMPs and do quests or just be on the same team and get XP. Gamertag is on my profile.

What are your thoughts on the Wastelanders Update? Those of you who gave it a shot may agree with me that the game feels like a Fallout game and is worth playing now. Its still not comparable to the better Fallout games though.
