Hard Lemonade challenge is Bethesda pushing it

[Razer]

A challenge that depends full 100% on a random encounter on the map.

Now I don't say this often, but if there's no other way of getting this item other than a random encounter. Then F you Bethesda. F you very much.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Make this everyday on all my toons to drink. Thank you Beth for making this so easy on us old lemonade drinkers, I hide the Hard stuff in my Shack. Everyone in the Appalachian hills makes this all the time, your supposed to be from the vault- you know the one in Appalachian hills.

Annoying part is that I ran into this lemonade stand many times thinking, why on earth would I want to buy this crap and moved on. If I only knew Bethesda would so evil as to create a daily challenge around this pointless encounter.

It's hardly pointless. The AP refresh from both lemonades is quite a nice boost no matter the season.

Can get through other means, but I see your point.

I can make hard lemonade - give me a shout if you need some.

Thanks for offering, I got some already.

The trick to finding these random encounters is to park yourself at a known spawn point and keep switching servers until you see it at the spawn point. Mr. Squeeze belongs to a list of about 53 "object" encounters ( https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_random_encounters#Object_encounters ). So you have 1/53 chance of finding him, which is a much better odd than running around all over the map and hoping to find him. The wiki page above has a map of all the object spawn points.

It took me TEN server hops to find Mr. Squeeze today at the spawn point south of NAR Repair Yard, so I was on the luckier side:

It could take you one try, 25 tries, or more, of course. But you get better odds and save traveling time and cost if you just stay at one spawn point.

Most if not all of the new dailies are terrible and a slog. Hardly something to invest time on.

Hard pass.

You sir, got it right. Cheers to that.

I hope you all are joking, you're all seriously bent out of shape over killing 5 enemies after drinking hard lemonade? It's not the devs fault you're incompetent but go ahead and re-roll one of the easiest tasks we've had in a while.

i always have a few bottles of each booze on me for these challenges. no big deal.
and 10 cans of dog food on hand since bethesda had a fetish for making us eat dog food for dinner in recent weeks.
instead i actually rerolled the 10 events in the forest challenge and got epic: complete 20 events. i'll take that!

I re-rolled it but got : Kill a supermutant while intoxicated by lead champagne.



Source: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Lead_champagne

So let's see...how do I go about brewing lead champagne?
1. Chance to get Lead Champagne recipe from Wasted on Alcohol daily.
2. Wasted on Alcohol requires me to brew Fresh Vodka, which requires glowing sap among other things.

In other words, assuming equal probability of outcome, I have a 1/5 chance to acquire the lead champagne recipe today.

All of this is leading me to think that perhaps Bethesda wants players to try out new things outside of the standard grind. But considering they removed the daily level challenge, perhaps they're creating another artificial obstacle (like stash weight limit) to make a buck at our expense.

Fast travel to Graninger farm, turn and run SW to a parking lot. If no balloons and lemonade stand server hop and repeat. Can take a while but it will happen, buy everything the vendor has as you need both recipes.

That daily pops up from time to time so when i see the vendor that sells lemonade i buy some and put 5 aside. I used 2 for today's daily and next time i see the vendor i will buy 2 and put them aside. The kill things with flames daily i keep fuel aside and i know where a flamer spawns too. I have 100% the last 11 seasons without paying cash and i'm well on track to 100% this season too. It's not that hard.
