    Tip from a new player: don't let power armor pieces fill up your inventory. I didn't actually use the armor, so I wasn't sure how it all worked. Stick those pieces on a free power armor frame! I didn't know you could do that, I kept getting all these legendary armor bits and they were taking like half my inventory. Power armor frames baby! Literally turned like 600lbs into 30lbs.

    • @bornagain2542

    • @anthonysanchezx18
      @anthonysanchezx18 9 місяців тому +8

      Yes. The frame weighs the same with our without the armor pieces on them. If there are pieces you don't like, you cans scrap them for a fair bit of resources per piece if you have the scrapper perk. The molded plastic is worth it if you like to bulk.

    just another useful tip on 1st membership.
    You can still draw from the 1st member's scrap/junk box even after ending the subscription, you just can't deposit more scrap into the box. So if you are on a budget like me, what you can do is buy one month of membership, then during that month, load up on as much junk as possible, and cancel after that one month. From there just keep drawing until you feel like your personal stash box is getting full again, then repeat and rinse. I probably buy 1 membership month every quarter.
    Just a little penny saver.

    I think the Perk Cards do not affect your stash box. It's just a bug. You can try to remove the items and you'll see the real numbers. That's why you're better off having all items on you if you have a perk card or a backpack with weigh reduction.

  • @Joeljaboy
    @Joeljaboy Рік тому +12

    The most important thing to remember with inventory management: item weights differ depending on your active perks, and body/power armor special effects. Stacking these % bonuses (like Traveling Pharmacy with a -20% food/chem weight, or Pack Rat and -20% junk weight), so your stash box should really just be for items with weight you can’t reduce, items for sale, and items you absolutely cannot carry. Make or look for deep-pocketed 3* Legendary body armor pieces that have different % reductions. This is how you carry around more than your stash box can hold.

    • @Joeljaboy

    Plastic is useful for shotgun shell ammo. I use armor perks and spent quite a bit rolling a few but you can get 20% reduction on ammo or weapons or the best one I like is food, drink AND chems. Power armor also can get these legendary perks. Plus if you are real lucky you can get plus 1 strength on them. Weapons and armor if you happen to get the 90% weight perk more with heavier guns those work so nice. Last but not least it may take a while but getting the scout large backpack and then the mod for the expanded that’s an extra 120 carry weight. There are other mods but a universal one works for me.

    Another good tip for inventory management is the ammo converter. You can essentially bank a fraction of the ammo you have by converting it all into points then just withdrawing ammo when you need it. Especially heavy stuff like missiles. The return rate isnt the greatest but ammo is common enough that you dont have to worry about it too much

    Some tips from a Level 200-ish player. This is how I keep my stash box clean and have around 100 pounds of breathing room for emergency situations WITHOUT Fallout 1st:
    1. Like MrWestTek says in the video, if you aren't using it, get rid of it. Sell it or drop it
    2. There's 5 major things that will put alot of weight in your stash box: Weapons, Armor, Medicine, Junk, and ammo
    3. Only keep up to 5 of each type of medicine that isn't stimpaks. As for stimpaks, keep as little of them as your build will allow. Stimpaks especially will weigh you down FAST
    4. Only keep up to 200 or less of each type of junk no matter what it is. At least this is what I find alot of success with as a melee build user. Other builds might need more junk. Essentially, try to keep as little junk as possible. It will help keep your weight under control

So no energy weapons. So getting rid of all of my energy weapons, and fuel cells, lightened up my stash by almost 300. So I think the biggest thing, is to decide what you want your armor type and weapon type to be and theb scrap all the rest or just leave it and don't pick it up, and it has made me be able to manage my inventory and stash without Fall1st. it's for sure manageable.

    If you’ve got items in the vendor that don’t get sold, usually power armor or weapons with no legendaries, then it’s best to scrap them or sell them at an npc vendor.

    Dude, sorry but you're wrong.
    This game is absolutely not easily playable without FO1st if you like to roll your own weapons every day.
    You need way too much junk to craft even basic guns like a handmade, and it gets too expensive to keep dumping/selling junk you don't use until you want more, and then have to buy it or run around wasting hours collecting it again.
    Re-rolling legendaries instead of crafting new weapons to roll is stupid as mitigation too, as you lose out on scrip returns doing that, before anyone suggests it.
    Don't fool yourselves into thinking this is anything other than by design either. This game uses nefarious methods of coercing money from it's players.
    It also doesn't help if you have a lot of good weapons already, like I do. I like to switch up my build from time to time because otherwise the game gets stale and boring, so I have various g'roll weapon types in my stash at any given time. Which means I have to constantly choose between either having no junk to craft with, or having to hold a ton of weapons I'm not currently using on me because I can't stash them until I use the junk, which then means I can barely move most of the time.
    At this point honestly, I'm getting tired of the dirty tactics Bethesda uses to squeeze cash from players, coupled with the sheer number of bugs and problems in the game. I'm looking for other games to play.

It gives 2000 points per 200 rounds which is 1-2 events depending on the enemy. You wont have ammo taking up space if its points.
