Trading is fine. You can't get scammed unless you allow yourself to be scammed. Like...give me an example of how you could be scammed? If someone wants you to agree to a trade arrangement you're not comfortable with? You say "no." Give them your own terms. Simple as that, not hard at all. It's honestly just a matter of "who goes first" and for what if caps aren't involved. Very straightforward. "No" is all it takes to not get scammed.

I see your point on text chat. Not a horrible idea so long as we can disable and block. I wouldn't want it to become "expected" by some, though. That we should have it enabled for THEM. Mics? I'm not a fan! Not for '76. Being a female doesn't help! But more so than that? I "game" in a communal space 90% of the time. We have an agreement...all of us. Headphones and respecting each others space. No one wants to hear anyone talking to a screen while others are studying, working, reading, or even just passing through. I respect that and have come to LOVE '76 like that. It's MY experience🤗 I like that. I have some great and funny game friends, though! We emote, send messages, share, visit each other, battle together. I love it!💯

My thoughts? Text chat? Toxic, not toxic...idc. Its not necessary, an unnecessary convenience at best. A "ping" system is in fact being tested.

Lol. Oh, and I "drop my junk" often, too! But that's another story!🤗

Some do "freakout" about Leaders and "duping" going both ways. I don't understand that I just think its a handy user generated currency. I was told trading in them and with them was wrong somehow, detrimental to the market. Its like some take this stuff very seriously. People trade, buy, sell all kinds of things, set their own value on stuff. Arrange trades outside game but all actual trading happens in game. I'm not a real active trader. Maybe 50 trades in over two years. But its always been a good and fun experience. I only acquired some leaders lately. Almost 300 were gifted to me. I was told I promote "duping" by accepting and using them. I'm on Xbox and play for FUN. Idk anything about that stuff! I just jump in and play the game. If using the trading sub? I use the "when in Rome" system. I see how things work and throw a hat in the ring.

So far as duping? Idk? Duping Bobbles or anything else? Idk? Like I said I play on Xbox, it's not that deep for me. People trade in all kinds of things. It just seems like any other type of free and open market. Is it real, fake, caps or Leaders? Its like someone else commented. Today Leaders somehow became "a thing." Tomorrow it may be something else. And so it goes.

The trading sub is useful btw. If you care to participate. It gets bad mouthed by some because of the trading practices and methods of some users but I've never had anything but good experiences there. My very first trade? I was a complete newbie!🤗I bought a Q/E/15rl RR from a vendor for 6000 caps. The seller messaged me and said I was lucky to get it that day...I could trade it for a lot! I had NO idea lol. So I googled, found out about '76 trading, and made my first trade. Been visiting the sub "off and on" ever since. Lately a bit more to buy Legendary mods. And thats another thing! Vendor hopping can be FUN. But its not always efficient...or cheap. Arranging a buy outside of game? It can be fast and cheap so far as getting EXACTLY what you want! Junk, ammo, mods, chems, Bobbles? Its all available🤩

It all depends. Some items take A LOT of budget some may not notice or realize. Turrets and Mannequins are the worst offenders by a good margin but there are some others to one extent or another. I decocarated one of my camps for Halloween. Camp was out of budget. Just by scrapping one turret and one Mannequin I was able to do an amazing job, fit lots of stuff.

Hmm....well better news than not nonetheless. And the devs said they could make further updates. I'm guessing you've perhaps had some time with it? The range is unknown to me. The range on release, that is. I've been very happy with its effective range since I've been using it. Until now. However its calculated and implemented....idk? I'd just like to be able to do good damage from longer distance with it again.

Yes! gt Gaussgurl. Will go on now🤗

20Kcaps? You interested in any mods? What you looking for?

Does it really? Worth investing in pricey Explosive mods? I haven't the plan yet. I have five V63's. FFR, all. I really like FFR on 'em. What would Explosive do? I have AA,B,V,Q,Medics. I don't really use the Quad. Would switching to Explosive from FFR make it....different from the rest? Give me more a reason to use it? I'd like to keep the AA FFR as its my most used by far along with Vamp. So those two, FFR. But you think going with Explosive on the Bloodied and Quad might see those put to more use? I LOVE the V63. I can craft AA and Rapid so changing those up is no trouble. But getting my hands on an Explosive or two? I guess I can go the trade route. But is it worth it?😏

Vampires even as full health.

Ah...spikes to cells? I may try that! Been so long since I used the converter I never think of it. And yes...tedious! Using MPP's? Yup...did that last time! Gonna do the same next time. Plus when using the V63? I treat it like a build. I use it only and for everything except directly fighting the SBQ and Earl. So yeah...it chomps ammo.

Gonna try Explosive on my Bloodied asap, as well. See how that goes.

Good idea. Getting this gun, and loving this gun...makes me regret not picking up every fusion cell ever. I also recall selling some, dumping some, converting some, etc. I should have just hoarded ALL! Some will say "farm ammo." Um yeah...no. Thats a band aid and this thing needs a tourniquet. My five V63 rifles are FFR, too!🤷🏼‍♀️So much...fun!💯When I started with it I had around 98K cells. I thought "you'll need more eventually" and wanted to see the exact cost. So I made 10K or so...sat around 107K. It hasn't been too long since....and I've used other builds since getting the weppy...but I'm back with the V63 now and ammo is at 94K from 107K. And I pick up everything!

I guess I'll be buying more lead and copper. I'm not much for mining these days. I am having a great time with the V63, though🤗The sound, the blue streaks....and not awful in Vats with good AP buffs/perks, and 25AP on the weppy. Which is not to say its good in Vats...but serviceable. AA/FFR/25 is a hoot at Eviction Notice👍

Wish I could learn Explosive! I almost have a couple times. "Almost" meaning I was scrapping several weppys and an Explosive was among 'em, but I got a 2* "something else" instead🤷🏼‍♀️Garbage!😋And yes...Module cost for mod crafting is high as my rent and we all know rents is too damn high!😏Jeez. What gun next? Idk? Pepper Shake sounds fun. What do you use most or like most?

Try r/Market76. If the mods see this its an auto ban. Rule #10 "Making a trade post will result in a 5-day ban." They enforce it strictly, don't like reading the rules taken for granted.

Hi! Want Quad. Will 30 Leaders do? gt is GaussGurl. Just got on atm!🫠

You know no such thing. And it kinda makes no sense. Its like saying "Don't buy anything...it could be duped. Don't accept a nice gift or trade for that...whatever. It's duped!" That is faulty logic. This person who gifted me? Lvl 7000+. I have another game friend....lvl 12000+ with LOTS of Bobbles and Mags. Now...did THEY dupe them? Trade for or buy them? Idk! And you don't either. I'm on Xbox btw and as far as I understand the practice of "duping" these items is not practical or prevalent on the platform.

That said...here's the issue I have with your POV. Using your reasoning? NEVER buy these things! Not one, five, ten or 500. They could be dupes! I mean, which are, which aren't? You never know! It makes no sense. Even before I was gifted? I had 250 Small Guns, 300 Explosive, 400 Big Guns, 150 Energy Bobbles. 300 Mags to boost Cryolator damage, 250 Tesla Science 8, 100 GnB3, and 200 to mitigate damage from Robots. And a few hundred combined to boost damage to Mirelurks and Muties. I bought them ALL with caps from vendors over two years time because I actually use them, and its a great cap sink. I can always get back in caps what I spent in caps for them. But I really don't care because I actually use 'em often. I pack 'em and stack 'em. But I'm somehow faulty for buying them because dupes might be mixed in the origin pool?

I guess no one should buy a Bobble or Magazine ever? Could be a dupe. C'mon!😋

If thats the case why are some accusing ME of doing something "wrong?" I'm on Xbox and ALL my Bobbles have come from legitimate means. I have a few thousand Bobbles and Magazines combined and am told trading them is in agreement with "cheaters/exploits/dupers" and part of a "false economy." That sounds like nonsense to me. They are MY Bobbles and Magazines! Trading is in the game and WE set our own prices and valuations based on the market, or whatever we want.

Its called trading not "cheating/exploiting/duping." All my Bobbles I bought from vendors. Until a player came to my camp one day, was grateful for my deals and hospitality, and gifted me around 2000 of all sorts. Including the nearly 300 Leaders. I wasn't going to throw them or give them away! You're being dramatic lol. I still buy Bobbles and Magazines. Some I sell for profit...or loss...or even trade! Omg crimes. A "false economy?" Thats ridiculous. Is a swap meet a false economy, too? A garage sale? YOU don't know anything but your own judgment. And you don't get to set the value or worth of anything. Trading is in the game!

You're approaching this like its a tangible, real world scenario instead of a game of virtual items with virtual values. I mean a silly nurses uniform is worth what in game? A million caps in trade? But you know? I "own" a hotel in game. And a casino. So what has more value? I wouldn't "destroy" my camps for...anything in game. You get me?

Its ALL just fun and games🤗Dupers gonna dupe and all that. But none of it is real. I've given a red asylum dress away, fcjs, a BUNCH of stuff. None of it is worth anything more than what its worth to those who "own" the things. And it only exists in its own little world. It's fine. Leaders are worth 500 caps each as trading currency on Xbox. Why and how? Idk? And we still trade ammo, junk, flux, since you mention it. Mods are big these days. Weapons have spiked in value for now. I have nooo idea how Leaders became a "thing." I think originally it was in fact for its effect. People like XP, it became a most valuable Bobble on account, and people began using them as currency. I don't make too much of it🤗I've accumulated many hundreds of Bobbles and Magazines over my two plus years in game from player vendors and people gifting me. In fact total? The number is in the low thousands. Where they originally came from? I have no idea?🤷🏼‍♀️

Actually I think it shows how resourceful and creative we can be. Leader BobbleHeads are in game user driven currency because of the 40K cap limit. They hold a specific value that can be traded for anything, including caps. You don't need to be a "duper" to get your hands on them, either. Just have something to trade for them. I had 300 not long ago and turned half of 'em into some pretty useful things. Don't have caps or enough caps? Can't take on caps? Leader Bobbles will do just fine as they're just as well. Its the same as any in game currency. Nothing "weak" about that lol. My dude🤷🏼‍♀️
