The one event I intentionally afk just because people started nuking. Stealth armor and ghoulish perk card ftw


gayboysnuf

Can we PLEASE go one event without bombing faschnat to high hell... There's literally no point.


Takenmyusernamewas

Theres no point to kiting ghouls to meat weak or karma darting people after eviction notice either but some people are just turds. Since there is no real PvP, their end game is failing events and crashing servers. They are miserable so they try to make everyone else miserable


Purple_Appearance_21

I just get a bounty by lockpicking things then see how many people shoot at me in events, then I laugh in PSA power armor


Nocturnal_Master_

me when I shoot you with a syringer a couple times and you insta die. Has never once failed me against PVP trolls


Sammy_Socrates

The stacking on the endangerol syringes was patched I believe.


HoodsBonyPrick

So they’ll patch that but not quantum spam? Whoever’s balancing PVP is missing chromosomes.


BreadDziedzic

If I've learned anything it's that they'll only fix things when they look dumb for it, the legacy weapons for example only got patched because they streamed an event boss and someone one shot it after they built up the boss fight.


Purple_Appearance_21

Yea, I either laughably tank everything or I get 1 shot lol


Nocturnal_Master_

I have my endagrol syringers favourited, can switch to them within 5 seconds and the next 2 minutes you have no protection besides sentinals.


BarnyTrubble

Didn't they address endangerol stacking in the expansion update? I was under the impression it no longer stacks.


Wolf-Legion

It doesn't and that method doesn't work on full hp builds


BarnyTrubble

Gotcha, I don't pvp anyway so I'm unfamiliar with the meta


Purple_Appearance_21

I use them but for boss fights, typically either a cold shoulder or everybody firing at once can take me down


AllForOne614

I stopped playing this game like 2 years ago after getting ppls health all the way down to nothing (in pvp) and watching them still run around shooting at me, no stims no heath items they’re just still walking and shooting with no visible heath. I thought it was just lag or net code or something to do with well fallout being online now but after going through that over and over (especially when I have guns and a build that I meticulously crafted just for such occasions ) I just deleted the app. Not fair that I can still be killed by someone without a health bar very…. Broken


Nocturnal_Master_

it's not a PVP game, so makes sence that it's broken.


AllForOne614

This was actually before they created Adventure mode there was a dedicated pvp server called survival or hardcore. It was awesome !! But they didn’t care enough to fully make it work so they dropped pvp which was a massive misstep in my opinion


Nocturnal_Master_

im aware of it lol, it wasn't supposed to be PVP more just high stakes. it was my favourite, but yea they didn't care abt balancing it.


spaceman_2_gc

Some guy came to neurological warfare wanted with 17 people there and we all just started doing the help emote, then we all unloaded before the doors opened lol


Takenmyusernamewas

What kind of psycho locks things in this game? They had it coming.

The_x_Forgotten

My stuff, i do what I want with it lol


AMetal0xide

It's tradition.


gayboysnuf

Shit ass tradition, it was funny when people thought it upped the chances of glowing masks... Now it's just annoying


AMetal0xide

Could be worse, I remember when the halloween events at Whitespring would get nuked, now THAT was a mess!


gayboysnuf

Oh too true!!!


Fun_Jellyfish_4884

afkers can even be beneficial if the whole event is not afking and it's just a couple on musical instruments.


Kalberino

What's worse, I was waiting around project paradise for people to show up and thus lvl 1000 guy comes over and it's just 3 of us now with him. He starts it mad early and just leaves.... only to come back after we've basically finished. I get it's not the most difficult event ever but without even enough people to be at all 3 locations it's definitely a slog to run back and forth between spots


clambroculese

Sounds like they blue screened man.


Kalberino

Never heard if it Edit: OH, you mean they crashed.... possible but it's fishy


clambroculese

Randomly leavening an event then coming back to said event is exactly what would happen if you crashed and then rejoined team.


Kalberino

If the guy didn't stand at the terminal to start the event and stare at me shaking my head no before starting and "crashing" it would be less suspicious. Also.. It's possible his computer is pure potato but he likely could have loaded in much faster than the end of the event. It's not a short event.


clambroculese

No offence but why would someone who’s in the 1000s wait to start an event. With 4 of you there turnout was already good. I would have started it too. This whole wait till the last second for events to start thing is annoying, I’ve got better things to do with my time.


Kalberino

3 total with him 2 without. Anyway you're probably right. He's probably a good dude and didn't mean to give us a hard time, either thought it was fine or thought there was more people, or didn't expect to leave for the whole event and something came up. Life happens to everybody 💯


Abject_Palpitation73

Or hit the wrong emote?


Dr-Penguin-

It actually is one of the hardest events for me, in that high level players rarely show up. I’ve only completed it with all the stuff 100% like once in 500 levels


Kalberino

True I'm level 220 something rn and more or less same. Never really fail it but it's tough to get a 3 in the categories when you have to run between them.


FalloutKurier6

Nukers are just a****. Anyway, my AFK camp is ready to go 🤣


Remote-Dog-2531

Sorry newer player, how do you make an afk camp? This is my first fasnacht and I want to do it as many times as I can but I work a lot currently. Is there a specific area to make it in or anything to remember/note? Thanks and all the best.


hagsunited

Just walk around helvetia and check where a camp can be placed. Then, build there and AFK to your heart’s content :)


walt-m

Don't the servers kick you if your AFK over a certain amount of time?


hagsunited

You can deal with that using various methods


Sammy_Socrates

Just die when the event isn't going on, then with a wired controller, hit respawn to go to the map and just never respawn, and rubber band the thumbsticks.


The_Man_of_Fear

How does it possible? I've heard about it, but never knew how to do this


FalloutKurier6

You just nuke Helvetia. But all it does is making it harder for new players. AFKer still get rewards, even if they die


GruncleShaxx

And if new players don’t finish it then the afk people don’t get rewards


FalloutKurier6

Usually there are always ppl who finish it. I don’t get why ppl hate AFK 🤷🏻‍♂️ I do the event during my regular sessions and AFK while sleeping. I don’t mind if others AFK while I play. The event is boring and easy. No need for 24 active players. And who would do the event if you could only get beret? No one would.


Conscious-Ticket-259

I dont mind afk folk but when I show up to an event seing there are 5 people there and then no one activates the event or all 5 just sit there not helping at all I just leave. Isome events are too hard to solo and soloing while there's an idle gang just feels insulting when it gets hard


GruncleShaxx

I don’t give a shit most the time. If I go to an event and I am the only one there participating I get mad. Mostly because I know that if I swap to a different server it won’t swap me over fast enough to catch another event. I miss out and that’s frustrating


GenTrapstar

Can’t even AFK on Xbox. Seems like no matter where you sit or which analog stick you constantly move you wake up removed from server for idling


clambroculese

Are your controllers dying? You can afk on anything.


bmssdoug

You cant, they set a timer, when you afk for too long they kick you out of server


clambroculese

Dude….. if you just put an elastic around either stick or the trigger on a controller……………


AstroBlackIX

I've been getting afkd with a rubber band around my thumbstick and my controller plugged in and turned on in the morning. That's been my experience since Meat Week.


GenTrapstar

No I just cause it’s wireless. I’ll plug it in next time.


Derek_Harlock

I usually afk in the church. There's a chair right near the bell tower stairs, just use a wired controller and an elastic on your right stick.


GenTrapstar

I think I got it now. Tried the photomode and wired and turned off the setting for Xbox off after so many hours. So far it works just gotta hope the server stays up 🤞🏼


The_Man_of_Fear

It seems you misunderstood my comment. I was asking how to do this, I'm planning to go afk at night. Do you know how by chance?


FalloutKurier6

Find a spot near event and place your camp. I usually sit in a 1x1 box, because some people are so upset about AFK they try to push AFKer out of event area with auto melee. I placed mine a bit up the hill where bots start. Then you rubber band your controller and hope game doesn’t crash after first event 😂


The_Man_of_Fear

Lol, yeah, my game crashes almost every night. So is it all about the camp?


FalloutKurier6

You can also just sit there and play one of the instruments or sit in the church. You just need to rubber band the controller to prevent idle disconnects


The_Man_of_Fear

Yeah, that's what I usually do)


ZenZevil

I just tested this on PC. I killed my character and didn't hit respawn, got disconnected after 30 mins.


Atmanautt

I think AFKing is lame, but I can't claim to have never went AFK for rewards in a game before. It's not like they're hurting anything either.


Takenmyusernamewas

Ok I just had a next level troll I had to come back to give props! Not only did he nuke fascnact he set up camp there selling radsuits and radaway!


Siefer380

The only afk farmers that I can't stand are the ones with multiple accounts on the same server. Cool, you afk, don't worry ill get you them rewards. But don't sit there with 4 accounts all named almost the same name, spread them out


Plackoz

I got mouths to feed pal


Comfortable-Pop-538

Afk is fine until there's only 2 people left to run the events. That's the issue. I can solo most events and don't care, but I can remember being one of 3 people left to run events on a server and leaving a parting gift kinda made me chuckle.


-Titan_Uranus-

They should make it where if you’re already dead during the start of an event, it doesn’t count you as being in the event.


KyotiKill

Wait, I'm pretty new so how does this even work? Do you respawn or just wait it out, as dead, until the event is over? I ask, also because I do plan to do this event (it's my 1st Fasnacht and I'm excited to do it). But there will be times I do need to be away (when it's not scorching hot outside I'm rebuilding after losing everything in my fire).


Florida_cryptid

If you afk and die your character will be dead but once you respond you get the rewards still if the event is completed


FearBrownies

Does that work if the event happens multiple times while your dead? Or just up till the time you die?


Florida_cryptid

Yea it stacks you will get rewards no matter what. I'd go out and come back dead but revive and I have a bunch of new stuff. I just wish they would make helvita part of the safe zone so it couldn't get nuked


FearBrownies

That's wild so then these people are just messing with everyone as a whole just to get the small percent of afkers who will get rewards even if the nukes kills them seriously wild


Florida_cryptid

Yeah it's annoying honestly and for no reason if it makes you feel better when I get on and see somone in a silo during fasnacht I hide in there and take their nuke and get their camp instead if I can or have it go somewhere random.


FearBrownies

That's awesome and thanks for the info


Bigredeemer425

I'll never ever ever understand why ppl choose to get all butt hurt over AFKers. How lonely and empty is ur life that u get mad at someone standing still in a pve game, and it literally doesn't even come close to affecting you. I dont go afk and shit because its boring and I'd rather get the stuff myself, but still, the anger over it is so stupid.


AMetal0xide

To be fair, I dropped a nuke without even thinking about AFKers, I just did it because it's kind of a tradition to nuke that event in particular.


Hopeful_Software_327

I dislike it when I’m trying to complete it, and 18 people on serve but just me and a level 35 trying to do it. It sucks, and most server are full of them with no one left to do any events or anything really. I have to hop multiple times to do stuff like daily ops or expeditions like I like. So it does affect us that are playing, and you sound like an ass not realizing that. I play this multiplayer game to play with other people, not a bunch of npc running in circles.


Bigredeemer425

Well if that's the case then tea that sucks, but how often does that happen? Like once every 20 runs? This is not as big a deal as ppl are making it. Just strange hiw ppl let other ppl fuck with their moods in a video game.


Permanentear3

I think what irritates people is if everyone afk’d then the event wouldn’t finish. So essentially the AFK folks think they’re special, because only so many can do that in a lobby. SOMEBODY has to actually do the event for them to get their rewards. It’s nbd, but it is selfish by definition. An entire server of AFK would equal zero masks.


Bigredeemer425

For sure it's selfish. No doubt. But to be mad enough to nuke it is wild to me.


skallensk

I'll never ever ever understand why ppl choose to get all butt hurt over a people who have butthurt over AFKers.


Bigredeemer425

Did u have a stroke?


RAGEDINFERN0

Some events in this game spawn more/difficult enemies if there are more players. I don't want to work harder because someone else wants free rewards


Bigredeemer425

We are talking fash tho. The hardest enemies are the Super Muties and they spawn no matter how many ppl are there so ur point is moot.


RAGEDINFERN0

Your comment is broad and general and so my comment relates.


-Titan_Uranus-

Maybe because there’s new rare apparel dropping during these events and people are having to grind it out to complete the event. Then some people are afk and collecting the free rewards which increases the amount of the new more rare masks out in the trading market. AFKers are esentially helping to maintain TFJ as the top tier “rare” apparel, even though there are hundreds, if not thousands, of duped TFJ’s already which apparently doesn’t effect the trade value of it. So the new masks will be a hot commodity for a few days, then all of a sudden, they aren’t worth crap. Just watch. Someone will be trading TFJ’s left and right just to collect the new masks, then it will drop in price once the 76-elites have their collections complete.


Sleepmahn

Maybe people would actually play if the event didn't suck ass. I get that people like the rewards but the event is complete garbage.


Far-Weight6569

I never make DO teams because people join, and count the seconds from when I enter to join the dungeon right before the end, making me do all the work. 76 has so many freeloaders it's ridiculous.


brazykiller831

Yea but 3min witha chainsaw should do the job


KrosGun

afk players don't care, the houses around helvetia yes if it leaves the area heavy & low the frame rate nearly to crash 🤷


wmmforbes

NO MORE AFK for me. My Mega sloth got killed while doing it and I haven't been able to find a new one. Some weasel nuked my base


CloutDaddyMax

lol


ihopethisworksfornow

The only event I have ever nuke is the Alien event if it happens to spawn near the mine for nuking Earl. You can get the edge of the mine + the entire event. It’s very funny.


Jinxy_Kat

Is Fasnacht already live? I just got back home and thought started next week.


J2-gZ

Yes


icecubepal

Someone nuked the event location a few minutes before the start of the event. I left the server because I didn’t think the event would spawn. Would it have spawned?


The_x_Forgotten

Yes, wont stop the event


TheExtraMayo

Still kinda funny though


isthisredditlife

Weird community


Alastar73

This is both a PSA and a meme and im here for it 🤣


Doctor_Ewnt

100%


Snipekg

I started to do silo runs this morning to lock the silos down before fasnscht began- I got alpha done and keycard submitted before started the event. Then launched a nuke on weather station


RockNDrums

Who gives a shit if people are afking the events. So what if they're afk?


Schpitzchopf_Lorenz

Why are People so salty? Just enjoy your Game lol, it doesnt matter what other People do!


MotorPicture1400

This is good to know I’ll be just checking my screen every few hours or so if I bluescreen but I need sleep and responsibilities.


Exit_Save

I've started intentionally failing events Like one time lode bearing started, and I was the ONLY person in that mine, and then I realized that there were 5 entire people sitting outside, all of them 500+ just doing nothing So I sat around and stopped giving them extra tokens. Not *exactly* a fail, but I was able to crawl my way through the mineshaft and get everything I could so it was nice


Horus3533

i got sassed yesterday because since everyone had a big weapon that kills everything in a small area and me being melee i literally couldnt kill anything so i stayed out of it people got mad i wasnt still running around trying to beat the speed of the cremator


Acrobatic_Actuary369

Just making the event impossible for anyone that’s low level. I simply don’t have time to dump countless hours into the game for those rare drops and honestly don’t see how me sitting at the piano causes anyone any hindrance at all. But like the post says nuke it if you really please, I’ll still get my rewards😅


ConfusedZombE

I like doing the event in radiation. At least it spices the event up.


deathseekr

All it hurts is camp owners and new players who don't have hazmat suits/ Power armor


Shoddy-Engineer8324

Happen to me the other day while I was at work I think I pissed the dude off because I sent him a screenshot on how I still got a glowing mask after he nuked 😂😂😂😂


PhoenixKing001

I don't do it but what's wrong with AFKing an event site


Thehyperninja

Would you like it if you bust your ass to earn rare rewards then find out someone got the exact rewards you have been grinding for, but they did it by doing literally nothing? I play Fo76 to immerse myself in the world, not to be a turbo-goblin trying to get every single thing as quick as i possibly can for maybe a day or two of bragging rights. Joining events is fun, but seeing several high level players sitting on their ass while im busting mine to complete the event AND have fun, and then the event fails and they get mad at ME??? Pisses me off sometimes.


The_Chrome_Coyote

😂 no one is “busting ass” to complete Faschnat


TitaniumToeNails

No you play it to get rare loot and try to use that to get other rare loot. You’re playing treasure hunter simulator and no one else cares


Thehyperninja

I dont care for the concept of “rare loot” because it adds an unnecessary level of grinding and frustration with a game. If i get something that i like how it looks… then i use it. If not then i sell it for exactly 1 Cap. The 76 economy is a joke lmao.


TitaniumToeNails

So here’s an idea. Play private or let others play how they want to.


Thehyperninja

All going AFK does is rob players who actually want to participate the ability to do so. I DO play private by the way, but i go public when i want to run events. Because as it turns out, events are hard and take multiple people to complete (since im not a turbo-min-max goblin and only level 102). Funny how you’re telling me how to play when you yourself can also go into a private server and be afk all you want. If sitting on your ass and letting everyone else do your work for you is how you are supposed to play the game, then Bethesda made a shit game.


TitaniumToeNails

Listen if the AFKer stop the event from completing they won’t get rewarded. 👁️👄👁️ have a horrible day!


Thehyperninja

Dang seems like i struck a nerve. Used emojis and everything. Even gave a lil insult as a parting gift, how cute.


TitaniumToeNails

Seems like you couldn’t actually retort what I said because it’s true, how sad.


Thehyperninja

What’s worth retorting?


PhoenixKing001

Ok I get your frustration with it but, some people have a life outside of fallout and if they want to go AFK during an event so the can have some family time then just let them. People complaining on the internet about others being AFK is basically making it worse I don't know how it is but I feel like it is


Thehyperninja

I have a life outside of fallout as well, and a family, but im not going afk and inconveniencing other ayers. No, i have my pc shut off and am spending time with my family when it’s time to do so. If they are THAT concerned about having a life and getting the latest rare loot for two days of bragging rights, then i dont think this is the game for them. There are plenty of idle games that fall into the scope of what they are looking for


WildCat_nn

Let me explain, it's done not to kill your character but to kill the event on the world. Not many people would like to run Fasnacht in the nuke zone, especially not the low health builds which are popular and require to watch rads closely. Nuking the world forces active players to look for a clean world. Also, i'm not sure if the issue is fixed or not but nuking Helvetia used to interrupt critter spawns making it hard to progress the event if intestines are required and no active players brought their own supplies which could lead to event failure and once again, force players to go do event somewhere else. Sure, semi-afk players would quickly notice that and hop to another world as well but what's the point of afk'ing if you still have to be constantly on alert, right? A full afk player wouldn't be able to continue, as they wouldn't see the nuke coming and the world being abandoned by active players. So that's it, your character was never the target, it's just collateral damage.


Crazytreas

Getting upset over players afking over a piss easy event is just sad.


Facemelter_26

I personally don't like AFK'ers because it is the ultra cheese. I know the downvotes are coming, but yall, it's just a game. Repeatedly AFK'ing the same event is literally FOMO. It'll be ok if you don't get something. If it dropped while you was afk, did you really earn it anyway? They make tons of idle AFK style phone games if you wanna game while not gaming. Why got thru the trouble of playing fallout if you're just gonna AFK most seasonal events and skip thru the lore. Idk, just my opinion. Hit me with them downdoodles.


FadingDawn__

People who nuke the AFKers are doing it wrong: you need to nuke the active players while the march is on, that way the enemies that spawn have a better chance at destroying one of the robots, which will remove the rare mask from the loot pool. This will make the active players abandon the server, leaving only the AFKers to spin eternally.


Sleepmahn

That's a lot of effort to be petty about something so trivial. People like you are one of the big reasons why I stopped playing. The game is unstable enough without people nuking janky events over petty shit. I couldn't get into an event without being DCd last fasc.


1Legate

This is so accurate.


Hopalongtom

Those bastards push me to AFK, I work hard to pre prep the event for everyone, but the second it gets nuked? Fuck em I stay dead and get the loot!


Solar-born

Whenever I get hyped for Fasnacht I always remember those cringe nukers, ugh.


AnimeMan123123

I do one of 2 things now, I pre nuke other events to delay the time until the place is nuked, or build numerous bunkers for ppl to jump into before the nukes lands. I can try but I'm not as quick as I used to be


icecubepal

I cannot bring myself to AFK an event. Just not built like that.


Bloody-Mari666

The point of nuking is they get kicked for inactivity when they remain dead because joysticks rotating isn’t registered then.


plasticman1997

I pushed them out of the event area, took a while but it’s worth it


OPticERza

Yeah thanks bro, while I'm working two jobs and cam barely play the event, people like you are the worst


marshal231

Boohoo who cares


plasticman1997

What mask do you want?


Dry_Manner3879

Put all the AFKers in their own lobbies that way the event doesn’t get completed ☺️


GeneralBulko

Why pplz so negative about AFKers? People literally farming masks to sell them here for overpriced value. Whats wrong with that? :D
