      I hate stupid people though. I was doing a silo and some random guy came through and i was fine with that until i accidentally shot him (he was in the way) and he proceeded to kill me over and over, i just put on a stealth suit and sat there until he left then finished my business 😂

      Probably because pvp is pointless

      The gunplay isnt even made for pvp

    Another strategy for getting the Kindness thing for my fellow solo players: just join a public event like Moonshine Jamboree, Radiation Rumbe or Swarm of Suitors, where there are truckloads of enemises spawning everywhere. Trust me, some of the players WILL go down (been there myself lol), and then you just rush to them and revive them. Worked for me, sure hope it works for you as well ❤️

    Another important tip for carry weight is to make sure you have all unyielding armor. Unyielding alone, no matter what kind of base armor it is, adds 3 points to every special category except endurance. So, each piece is giving you 15 extra pounds of carry weight alone. However, if you make all of your armor pocketed/deep pocketed.. that will give each piece an additional 5-10 pounds of carry weight for a total of 20-25 pounds for each piece of armor. That definitely adds up. I don’t even have the extra carry weight mod and my base carry weight without food buffs is well over 400 pounds.

    Once you complete the tadpole challenges and can earn possum badges ther are also three events that have a small random chance to drop possum badges. The two daily events you can do everyday are Stings and Things from the beginning of this video and the other is Operation Tidy which you start from the robot at Kiddy Corner Cabins. The third event you can get a badge from is Campfire Tales which is random. It's a small chance but I've probobly given or sold a half dozen high capacity bag plans away and bought all other available plans with badges I've gotten this way.

    If the kill bear with syringer challenge works the way the rest of the "kill enemy with a BLANK" challenges work, you can hold the syringer and use grenades to kill it and it will still count. For the crossbow challenge, it doesn't matter what enemies you kill - it can be fireflies, squirrels, opposums... The forest region is great for finding all of these at low levels. I find that archer, athletics and mammalian are the easiest badges to obtain. The biggest challenge for mammalian is milking a brahmin 10 times, but between flatwoods, the Wayward and the pond across the road from Pleasant Valley train station there are usually enough brahmin around to get the job done. If not, server hop.

    Another big help to boosting your carry weight is through food and drink. With the carnivore mutation (which you can use a serum to acquire), all meat products have double effects. Grilled Radstag gives you a bonus 40 carry capacity. Grilled Deathclaw Steak gives you +4 strength. If you use the Party Boy / Party Girl perk card at rank 2, Whiskey gives a +6 strength buff as well. Plus, if you use Psychobuff or Bufftats, that's an additional +3 strength. And ALL of these can be active at once. that's an additional 105 carry capacity. And the fun thing is, is that if you just need the extra boost to fast travel while overencumbered, the Party Boy / party girl perk card only needs to be on when you drink the whiskey. You can immediately remove it afterwards and retain the 3x bonus.

If you can’t find a friend to revive then definitely do the hunter then

    As a new player, (only 1 month playing and level 130), your videos have been invaluable for a noob learning the game. I watched most of your beginner videos and working through the rest. This one is super useful as I really struggle with carry weight. Just a note, next to the place that you do the archery range challenge their is a crossbow plan on the table always unless someone took it. One thing I am interested in that you mentioned in this video is reddit trading. I was lucky enough to get the Travelling leather coat on day one of playing, second ever event I did, used up all my luck and almost scrapped it in my great cache purge but didn't have any clothes that looked better so early. Then saw it in your video 'rarest Outfits' and thought lucky on two counts. So thanks again. I've been thinking of trading it as gear may be more useful so early in my fallout 76 experience but no idea how to go about that. Any video you have that maybe helps or advice on what I should be doing or can realistically get for the coat? Once again thanks for helping out with these great videos and I look forward to seeing more.

    You have a chance to earn Possum badges every time you do the Campfire Tales event and the two dailies Operation Tidy and Stings and Things. If you intend to do the latter, you can collect the parts ahead of time. Going to Aaronholt Homestead will get you bloatfly glands and bloodbug proboscis, at the end of the farm where you can gather cranberries. Doing the Project Beanstalk event at Silva Homestead will get you stingwing barbs. Like he says in the video, there are between 1 and 3 ticks (you need their blood sacs) behind Dolly Sods Wilderness.
    I keep them in my stash (under junk), and just grab one of each when I'm about to do the mission. When you "scrap all," they won't automatically scrap, so you can't accidentally do that. The only thing that leaves is radroach meat. There is almost always a radroach in the locked (lvl 2) closet in the same room where you pick up the daily. If not, going out the back door, you'll see a nearby house that has one on the second floor. In fact, you can usually lock onto it with VATS from outside.
    You can just show up with 4 of the 5 things on you, grab the radroach kill, pick up the daily and turn it right in.

    The hi-cap backpack is useful if you carry so many bits and bobs, but IMHO a Grocer's or Chemist's pack (half the weight, but you get 90% weight reduction on food/drink or chems) can reduce your perceived weight even more, and is much easier to attain than getting 8 possum badges.
    Obviously the best scenario is one where you've got five pieces of weapon or food/drink/chems weight reduction, _plus_ the hi-cap backpack, but grinding for all of that takes quite some time.

    For the one struggling with the yao guai with the syringer, you can bash it to death with your syringer.
    I ran out of bullets, but not option and the challenge did get updated.

    You're the man thank you! I'm always overencumbered since I'm a hoarder.

    Also the swimming and the photographer (if you have the bucket list quest started) badges are easy to get too.
    Omg. To get the bear with the syringer go to the Philippi Battlefield Cemetery. Where he tells you to get the black powder pistol. On the second floor balcony it overlooks a parking lot where one spawns. Just shoot it with any weapon to get its health down to 1 or 2 shots left and switch over to the syringer and finish it off (You don't need to use it for the entire fight just as long as the last shot is with the named weapon. This goes for any of the Hunting badge requirements). It spawns close enough to attack it but too far away for it to know where you are shooting it from. It will freak out a bit and start running around the parking lot but you are safe on the balcony.

    If anyone sees this today, a heads up with the hunting, you can bash with the weapons to kill & it’ll still count.
    It’s better to melee with the Stringer rather than shooting for awhile lol

    Thanks a lot Sir. I was lost and now I am found. The freaking clean up man. I was really stuck getting killed by all those monsters. Level 12 now I am. Love the game for it's style of make sense getting ready after nuke. I wonder how much we would do in real life. Water, food, shelter, security etc. I am survivalist in sense of my work. My camp is called LONDON if you see it. That is me and I have nice quite place. Cooking, Arm bench near by and I am still building. It is simple still but I love it.

    I thought it was funny after grinding out everything to get the high capacity mod for my backpack, I found it was actually worse for me than the medic mod I was using because all the meds I was carrying gave me +400 weight without medic as opposed to +60 weight capacity. I know I can get the med weight reduction through perks but I'm using my perk points for other things right now

    Just wanted to add some numbers here, the refrigerator mod will reduce carry weight by 30lbs, and the high cap reduces energy and rad resist by 60 points. Probably won't be too bad for most builds but if you run somthing like stealth armor it might be better to go regular or refrigerator.
