Do not leave the shelter without your starting loot
That's it, you have just created your character and chosen your class and you are ready to leave the shelter to live your adventures in Fallout 76. Except that there are still some resources that you must recover before you launch and these are close to the shelter.
Go to the location we have indicated to you on the map below. There you will find some enemies to eliminate and a cabin. Search the latter and you will have enough to fill your pockets in terms of resourcesa good way to start your adventure!
Understand the implications of PvP in Fallout 76
When you start playing Fallout 76, PvP is basically disabled, but when you reach level 5, it is activated. However, in the options, in the “Game” tab, there is the possibility of switching to “Pacifist” mode or not. The latter isn't really an option to disable PvP as one might think.
It simply prevents you from hurting other players and protects you from some of the damage that will be inflicted by enemy players. However, as we have just told you, this does not protect you 100%, even if a player attacking you becomes marked as hostile and even wanted if he ever kills you.
Recycle your weapons and armor to get blueprints
Plans are important in Fallout 76. But we're not going to lie, at the start of the game, it's clearly out of budget! So, a fairly simple solution, is to vacuum and pick up all the weapons and armor that you will find on your way.
Recycle them then, which will allow you to obtain crafting items, but also, if you are lucky, plans for the different mods that have been equipped on the weapon. This is a good way to get these, even if it is necessarily random.
Understand the mutations in Fallout 76
The mutations in Fallout 76 will allow you to modify your body with bonuses, but also penalties. Globally, a mutation will often have both and it will be up to you to see which ones will interest you the most, depending on your way of playing.
To obtain them, there are two ways. The first one, it's quite simply getting radioactivity in the head, which gives you a chance of getting some. It's an easy method, but ultimately very random and you risk getting one that doesn't suit you.
The “best” method, is to go to the location indicated on the map below. There you will find “Modus Science Terminals” where you can directly purchase serums with the mutation you wish to acquire for your character.
Ammunition is clearly the crux of the matter in Fallout 76. And if you ever want to obtain some, it's better not to depend on the ones you find by killing enemies during your adventures. For that, you will need a handyman's workbench.
There, you will be able to craft a whole bunch of ammunition: whether it is the classic ones, the explosive ones, the energy ones or even the ultracites, which are rarer, but which will allow you to do more damage to your enemies. For that, You will obviously need to have collected crafting elements beforehand.
Join a public team
Often when you start playing Fallout 76, you don't dare to join other players and that's a mistake! In fact, we strongly advise you to join a public team for different reasons. The first is that since they are public, other players will have little interaction with you if you want to play it solo.
But on the other hand, you will gain a free teleport point for the camps of other members. Additionally, you will gain experience bonuses on events, expeditions. The longer you stay in the team, the more the bonus increasesthen you would be wrong to deprive yourself of it!
Consider going through the stations
At the start of the game, the stations will become your friends! Indeed, the latter are obligatory passages after a good dose of exploration. Already, you will have sellers to whom you will be able to sell your equipment for capsules or even Obtain Legendary Scrapshot via a machine.
You will also have posters allowing you to launch quests, a cache where you can store what you want to your personal storage and finally a workshop. This workshop will not always be the same depending on the station, but it is very useful for recycling, for example.
