    For fellow ps5 users on next gen update that have issues on the reliability of the third save (quicksave) do the quick save as soon as you are able to press pause, that means in the black screen, that locks the item and randomizes the legendary, works like a charm for me, if you don't get the item, load save 2 and quicksave again as mentioned before

    Nice and well explained, thanks for the hard work.
    I'd just wanna say that I tested the steps proposed and I wasn't getting different prefixes after loading the save 3 (autosave). Then I watched the first version of this tutorial by you and I wasn't waiting the 3 seconds before making the save 3.
    Dunno if anyone else was having the same issue, but after that little adjustment it has been working nicely

    • @dominator-tc8ik

      It seems like every time I get back around to the item I want, whenever I go to repeat save 3, it always locks the prefix and I don't know what the fuck is going wrong. I can revert to save 2 and get a different item and prefix, but loading save 3 _anytime_ I get the item, but not prefix, still gives me the same prefix... .

    @platinumspotlight3338 Рік тому +32

    While this method does work, the timing that you need to make the second hard save might be different for you. Timing the save when I touched the truck was too late for me, so I went backwards and tried to make the save just after I walked off the ledge. That one didn't save the enemies, so I knew I wasn't quite far enough, so I reloaded the save from that spot and walked another step and made another save. That one ended up working, so for me, I needed to make my save just before stepping on the sidewalk.

    The area you're farming has an ancillary bonus. You can do a loop, kill other enemies (all having a chance of spawning Legendaries), then circle back, and all the enemies are reloaded and ready for another farming run. Good if you're not finding that prefix, you can keep loading through until you start seeing it, then go back and hopefully get what you want.

    This is amazing. Extremely well researched, written, and presented. Love it. Definitely subscribed.
    However, I don't think that there is any way that Nuka World is the only place that this can be done. There have to be other locations that are not only accessible in the base game, but also accessible at lower levels.
    I remember seeing a video once about a way to reroll legendary effects in Survival. They had a bed inside Hangman's Alley by where the weapon workstation spawns, and another bed just outside the west door. The workstation bed was their Save 1, and if they reloaded from the bed outside the door, it rerolled the legendary effect on the item (Save 3). Sure, not as perfect as your method, but I have no doubts that you could take this location and refine it. (It uses the random encounter by the diner on the way to v81.)
    That would be an amazing location for a similar setup.

      Thank you for the feedback! There may be other places, but as far as I know, there's no consistent outdoor legendary respawns in the base game.
      The version I showed in the middle of the video (in the National Guard Training Yard building) is probably the most well-known and easily accessible loot lock area.
      The reason the Nuka world one works so well is because you simply need to move a couple of cells away and then come back and it will reset.

    This 100% works for me exactly how it’s done in the video, if the reloading legendary prefix doesn’t work for you I would say do your 3rd save (quick save) immediately after loading in, I have tried multiple different methods like the training yard but can hardly ever get the legendaries to spawn this is by far the best method I have seen, I even look at the gun the legendary has in their hands to find out if their even worth killing, if they’ve got a pipe rifle then they are going to have a melee weapon or armor every time

    Lucky enough to already have the explosive mini gun and combat shotgun on my play through. I was looking for a explosive assault rifle and stumbled upon this video and got one in under 1 hour using this method. I also have a two shot gauss rifle but seems as though the instigating is better so now I’m going to look for that now.

    Good vid. Watched the original for nuka world and thought it was just me as I couldn’t get it to work consistently i.e getting the item locked then reloading for the prefix.Glad you put in this vid about adjusting timing as that’s what the problem was. See, I’m a lowly console player (one X) and figured that PC could be different. I start with a hard save on the ridge, hard save behind the tank the slowly walk (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi) to the sidewalk in front of the tank. Don’t cross it. I found the little jag to be a good spot, then I quick save. Seems to work ‘most’ times. Most likely me screwing up

  • @PoppyHermie

    This still works but with a twist for me. After I found the legendary disciple, I did the save 2. When I started killing him I realized the enemies they were attacking also had a legendary gunner. I thought sweet, two for 1. I finally found the weapon I was looking for on the legendary gunner. After I started loading the quicksave (save 3) the prefix on the gunner would change (same item) but the item on the disciple would be random. I kept doing the quicksave reload until I found the prefix I wanted on the gunner and a decent drop on the disciple. It took a bit longer but was definitely worth it in the end. If anyone comes across the same situation, maybe do a test run to see which legendary enemy keeps the same item with different prefix and which one constantly changes.
    Thanks for the guide, definitely one of the best ways to farm a specific item you want 👌

    If someone cannot do it, this will help them. If there is no legendary enemy, load game 1, delete the other saves and create a new replacement save 2. If there is a legendary enemy, load game 2 and save quickly before the game appears on the black screen. 2:16 This step must be done every time you load game (except when you found a legendary item that you want and have a bad prefix then load and not autosave) 2, which generates the random object. If you get exactly the same legendary prefix that you don't want when loading quick save 3, it means that you were not fast enough when saving game 2.

    If you play survival just use part of the route he has shown here. However, run up to the Super mutant vs Raider gang event to the left, the scripted event he shows here, the deathclaw down the road, and past the deathclaw is a random encounter which has a dead legendary a decent amount of time. This DLC is busted and I love it lmao. You can also get infinite Fusion cores by running this route.

      @@brucemoreland5228 it's in Nuka World dlc. If you explored the map enough you should notice there's several random encounter location where the enemies will spawn back after you leave the area. This location have battle type encounter where two faction will always fight. There's a very high chance one of them (if not three) will be a legendary. Kill everything , leave the area and come back, a new enemies will spawn. But if you still want save scumming for legendaries, make sure you have at least 45000 nuka ticket, go to Nuka Cade, save outside the building , use the prize terminal (inside Nuka Cade) choose level 5 prize , any weapon required at least 12000 ticket to claim is always a legendary weapon. But you need to buy the weapon first, they don't tell what legendary it is until you buy it with the ticket. Don't like what you have, reload the save and do it again. Limited weapon choice, never found Gauss Rifle there, most expensive weapon I found so far is plasma rifle (42000 ticket) with random legendary effect. Cannot loot lock, everything is random. Assault rifle, combat rifle, laser, pipe revolver, hunting rifle,10mm,.44 pistol and some melee or armour was what I found there,power armour part also sometimes available, never any weapon from any dlc.If you short on ticket, bring any explosive weapon and play the Bandit Round Up game, easier to win, the explosive damage will take all target. There's a bed and matress outside the building for saving.

    This is one of the brighter spots in F.O.4 gameplay. But the the best spots on the map you'll find will respawn & re-roll that legendary enemy after a in game week or 2 weeks.(I'm not sure about the respawn time) but the national guard training yard is one of those places. Even know you've pulled the weapon you wanted once already, it's still possible to milk it over & over.👍
    I wish you only the best of luck.👍👍

    I also have a mod which causes random enemy spawning, so that tends to make legendaries spawn more regularly just because there are more enemies. To be fair a lot of the random fights are much harder than normal because the enemies are higher levels and typically much more numerous. Even at higher levels you can run into four or five death claws which will give you a hard time unless you have a really strong build.

    FOR SURVIVAL MODE,the best easyest thing you can do is just set luck to 10,run to concourd and there is day tripper and x cell in a building,then run to Starlight Drive in,clear it and make a bed and sink,1 frag grenade and the 10mm pistol are fine,make a save,take x cell and day tripper,drink from the sink,run to the parking garage at the edge of lexington,there is no enemy outside and you go in through a door inside the garage,there are 6 ghouls inside there,you can kill most or all with 1 grenade,if any survive just gun them down,with 15 luck there is already almost always 1 legendary enemy,and he can drop the Explosive Double barrel shotgun,if you dont get it shoot a car inside!,it took me 4 hours,it makes the rest of the game super ez even on survival,and you can get this at lvl 5 before doing any quest!

    I'm still curious if there is a place outside of Nuka World that could be used. Some people don't have the DLC, plus sometimes you just don't have it unlocked yet.
    There is a building near Fort Hagen where two random forces collide. They seem to spawn fairly often and I've definitely had legendary enemies there. I would love to see you figure out the Save 1 & Save 2 locations for farming that place. I can follow your guide, but I can't figure out how to duplicate it for other locations.

      It might not be in your legendary prefix pool. You likely have been seeing the same few prefixes over and over again. Go kill legendaries until you notice guns with different prefixes and then try farming again. If you still don't get it, kill more legendaries and try again.

    Question, will this work on Playstation 5 / XSX, or do you think the M2 SSD might cause the loading to happen too quickly to make it work anymore.
    I was trying to use the old method in the Super Duper Mart, but could only seem to lock down the legendary enemy, or lock down the modifier+weapon. It would never lock down just the item allowing a modifier reroll.

    • @TheEfficientGamer
      @TheEfficientGamer  Рік тому +2

      It could. I don’t know enough about the underlying code, but if loading the cell and loading legendary enemies run asynchronously, it could definitely end up not working.
