To follow my route skip to 04:13 🙂 The guide covers everything you need to know when getting started but please leave any comments or questions and I will get back to you asap! 🙂
man i wish this guide was available when i first started playing, touches on everything someone has to know to get started, fucking AMAZING guide my man
Nice guide. An addition: you don't need to click the red workbench in a Workshop to claim it. Simply enter Building mode from anywhere in the Workshop. (This was changed because people would block the red workbench.)

thank you :-) and that is great to know cheers! I was not aware of that change so always helpful :-)
Brilliant guide, for new starters! Additionally, when at your first train station, look at the map on the wall and click each of the markers on it, as it will mark other train station locations on your map (greyed out) to make them easier to find as you explore Appalachia 😊

Thank you for the great beginners guide. I just picked up FO76 after two years straight of RDR2. I’m looking forward to following your channel for more great beginner tips. Keep up the great work! 👍

Thank you, that's really kind, and I also completely love RDR2. I completed that as one of my first PS4 games, and it took me so long lol! I have a big list of useful guides I'm going to be making for FO76. I don't really do the news type videos and prefer to make concise and helpful guide videos but they take a fair bit of time and aren't exactly fast growing although I'm aiming for 1 per 1-2 weeks going forward
Thanks for the help, I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Is it just me, cause I think I'm goiing crazy. Following the steps for the route, but getting stuck at the beginning already. No bonfire to be found. And if I go further then I get to the little tower thingy with the bed, which is way down the hill.

Hi yeah you have gone too far. The bonfire is about 100 meters down the hill from the enterance to Valut 76. If you just follow the dirt path that goes around the rhs of the vault (when facing the vault) this will lead you down to it. Bear in mind the bonfire is not lit so it's just a bonfire shape pile of sticks.
Useful advice he didn't mention: changing your stats doesn't allow you to change perk cards you invested in. Fallout 76 sucks with how they handle changing builds. Keep that in mind. So if someone tells you oh no don't restart just keep going to level 50+ eventually you'll even out your character (it's true but if your struggling and needing crucial perk cards for your build) ignore their advice and start your character completely over it'll be less of a headache in the long run.

Thanks for the comment but I am unsure what you mean. At the punch card machine you can change all your SPECIAL stats AND change out all the perk cards?? You can build up to 5 (I think - might be more as increased recently) different builds that can be named and easily switched between in a few clicks. If you mean you can't pick different perk cards, then no, you would have to level up in order to choose more but that is due to the way in which the perk cards are randomly given on the level ups. However, you get 4 cards per perk card pack obtained at different levels, these are also available from the season rewards throughout and also you get an additional perk card choice at each level up so you should be in a position to pretty much get the cards you need the majority of the time. Legendary perk cards are different and IMO are kind of broken as once you choose which ones you want (fully unlocked at level 300) they remain the same for each build which doesn't make sense as to why we can't also have different legendary perk cards for each different build.

@@GoldenGek you basically answered your own question. But yes you cant re-select your perk cards that you chose while leveling up which in my opinion is kinda dumb. So telling new players about the option to switch builds like most youtubers do kinda give them a false understanding of what it means to switch builds. Switching builds is only useful for high levels who have have tons of extra perk cards already. Basically what I was saying is if a brand new player was under level 50 and for whatever reason was struggling to kill enemies it's best to just make a new character. Most day one players always say just keep pushing on it'll get better but it's usually not the case if you seriously messed up which perk cards you invested in. The Game would be a lot less enjoyable if they continued on until they were able to fix said build a lot of times it's easier for them to just start over rather than just carry on with the character they're struggling with. That's just my opinion to each their own tho
Just picked up the game and this guide will be my start after work. Thank you.

@GoldenGek well, some people out there actively avoid algorithmic flash and search for quality instead. I leave comments on good videos to help boost better content. Whoever comes across this video as a new player is in luck. I still have the first 4 character I started when I had no clue how the perks system worked in 76 🤣. At the time it was only people shouting about how 'op' their builds were but never explained a single thing about how perk cards worked.
I like to park outside of the exit shed of Glass Cave. I can run glass cave and loot everything without worry as my bunker is 15 steps outside of the exit. Only downside is the area gets nuked constantly.

yes that is a rather hazardous spot for a base although handy for farming but hope you have a second base backup you can hop to if things get a little toasty!

Great Vid GG 👍👍 , but could you please explain why you rename stuff with an 'S' ? And what items ??? Cheers Dude
@GoldenGek

Thank you :-) I rename items S for Scrip so I know which legendary items I don't want and can scrip at the Legendary exchange machines. It is also a good idea to rename the items you want to keep and also apply a paint / skin as then this prevents you from scrapping them by accident
Great stuff

Should i start as level 1 or 20? As a new fallout player
@GoldenGek
3 ай бұрын
It's a very good question. Personally if you have never played before I would start at the beginning so you can learn the combat etc. I would suggest to follow the route I have done in this video before you start the main story as then you will already have a good base location, easy access to a workshop for xp, junk and plans as rewards and also near a legendary farming spot for the Leader of the Pack event. I would say that the level 20 start is better if you have played before and just want to jump start a new character. 🙂

I know I answered this in stream but if you switch server then you will have a chance for it to spawn. Ensure you log out of the server for a few minutes though so it doesn't auto reload you onto the same server.
