Try to think you are low lvl without a proper deck, a nice weapon, and ask again.

Butterflies.

I also think acid is useless. It has a few uses, lemonade, ore smelting, Cryo mines/grenades, fuel... none of it that important.

But if you do use any of that stuff it is a nice QoL option.

Fallout 76 isn't any different than any other MMO in that the real end game is collecting stuff. Can be anything from cosmetics to camp items.

So, when people see a new shiny, they snatch it up.

Yep-I snatched it-plus it's kinda cool and wish I had one in my real garden..Hope they don't turn to caterpillar's and eat my crops..

You've got it backwards. Caterpillars turn into Butterflies. Your garden is safe.

700 atoms is better than just playing the game and farming cave crickets i guess what a time to live in

Since my up close and personal spray and pray style of play with my TSE .50 cal requires a Bazillion bullets, I use a ton of acid for making gunpowder. Even with all the contextual that drops now, I'm still making Ultracite .50 call rounds every couple of days.

Oh, and it's nice to have butterflies in my Camp. I like butterflies.

Scrap Chlorine, Coolant, Abraxo Cleaner, Rat Poison, HalluciGen gas canister, Antifreeze, and Gas Canister.

Go buy 1 Bulk acid gives you 15 Acid.

Killing either 1 Cave Cricket, Snallygaster, Yao guai or Grafton Monster gives you 5 Acid per kill.

If you build your C.A.M.P. or you take a Hemlock Holes with a Phosphate deposit yields you 10 Waste Acid every 30 minutes.

Buy the Butterfly Sanctuary for 700 Atoms will give you 10 Waste Acid every 30 minutes.


Seeing people rage over an Acid Producer = Priceless.

Make a few rounds to the Flooded Trainyard farming the Snallygasters and you will be swimming in acid after a few days.

Acid is something I have never run low on, just from normal gameplay.
Maybe the butterflies are pretty?

Yes they are. I like the animated part of that item. Seeing butterflies flying around the outside of the cage makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. :)

They're pretty, but moths would have been better plus it's a nice ambient light source, like the frog in a jar.

i got it because it is neat to look at, could not care less about the acid, i havnt had to smelt ore since the season started because i dont have to make ammo anymore, i can see that it might be something others can use.
