Good place to farm Nuclear material / Screws / Fusion Cores?

[Peter Griffin]

Title: Lacking in all 3 of these departments significantly, does anyone know where I could consistently pick up good amounts of these? Thanks!

I mean no offence to anyone;

I'm in the US in Pacific Time and late at night here players sometimes run out of things to do and taking Workshops from other players is a little more common than you would think.

add me and you're on a european server
or even my private, tho very unwise to go pvp against the host in a workshop

the system autoblocks us if you kill me on my private

"omg the host blocked me" i keep telling everyone it's an auto system thing

ing: harleysq

when on my private i water the plants and do tests in peace
everyone can do whatever they like, group with me, is okay

Fusion Cores? Can get those fairly easily from Fusion Reactors out in the open but usually they're only filled 25% of the way. I usually get my 100%ers from events, you're guaranteed to get at least 1 fully charged core from the "Line in the Sand" event. Make sure to use the "Electric Absorption" Legendary Perk, basically there's a % chance to partially recharge your core whenever you get hit by energy weapons, always handy when you're fighting robots for example.

Hope this helps a bit!

The electrical absorption perk is incredible, if you're a power armor user. I can recharge whole stacks of fusion cores to max in minutes just by letting robots shoot me. My favorite spot is the tygart water treatment plant, and let the little commie-bots just zap me. Protrectrons are great too, as they can shoot lasers out of both hands (the double shots hitting almost simultaneously seems to trigger the absorption more often).

I can re-charge all the cores I use up, I can recharge those depleted cores you find in reactors and power armor frames, and I even find depleted cores left as junk by other players in containers around train stations. If I'm in a good mood, I even swap out the depleted cores for fully charged cores, since I can just charge up the depleted ones later on.

If you stock plasma grenades on an explosive build that should do it for Nuclear Material. Alternately, you can use another type of grenade as an opener to take down health 1/2-2/3 and then finish them with a plasma weapon. That'll save you a lot of plasma ammo, too.
This is obviously most effective in areas where enemies are closely grouped.

This makes me really hyped for Power Armor. I'm level 30 and have yet to even get a full suit on yet, so I'm glad that I can get a steady supply of fusion cores without having to do all sorts of weird farming stuff, this is awesome!

I managed to find a plasma pistol while just fighting random people and am now switching between that and my regular weapons so that I can turn everyone into goo in 1 shot, the Nuclear Material shortage is no more! :)

Oh yeah, it is. Even on the first level of the perk, which you can choose at 50, will still recharge fusion cores. Just takes longer... Once you get the perk maxed, most energy weapons are a joke. And one of my favorite weapons is a gatling laser, which uses fusion cores as ammo. So not only recharging the batteries that run power armor (fusion cores) but recharging _ammo_ for the gatling lasers. Just make sure to never run a core to zero. I swap out fusion cores on the gatling lasers once it's down to like 5-10% to be on the safe side.

oh, if I forgot to mention it _heals_ you too. When the recharge procs, it triggers a burst of healing. I call the assaultron eyebeams "tickle rays". I actually runs TOWARDS the eye beam, trying to get hit, because that's going to instantly top off my core to max. Apparently the assultron eyebeam is a series of small continuous attacks, like a mini-gun bullets, so it will trigger the re-charge/healing almost instantly (rolls on every single "hit" until it's triggered), over and over and over. Works during the rogue assaulttron event too, but that mofo hits a lot harder, so it's a little dicier to use there. It's damage will top the healing, so it helps you survive, but you don't want to just stand in it's eyebeam like you're sunbathing.

Never waste nuclear materials trying to craft fusion cores, save those for power armor upgrades and other things.
