HOW DO I GET MY PERKS TO WORK

[Driller (ceo of drills)]

HELP ME PLEASE BECAUSE MY PERKS DONT WORK

[lucg]

Maybe alot of things ... . First, try to unequip and equip again. Maybe check your stats in your pip-boy.

Sometimes you misread them
Sometimes the server fails to load that perk type
Sometimes the server unequips the perk
Sometimes the patch completely ruins the perk for 3 months
Sometimes the game fails to recognise the status you have as eligible for the perk

Which perks?
What are/aren’t they doing?

[Phantom]

gunsmith lvl 5 for fatman

Check a video or two about it (Fallout 76/Fatman). It have explosive effect so surely other perk cards will work too ... .

Heavy Gunner is for non-explosive heavy guns. The Fat Man uses Demolitions Expert. Gunsmith is for crafting guns and making them degrade slower.

As an Intelligence perk, to use Gunsmith at rank 5 you need an Intelligence of at least 5 and 5 free slots for Intelligence perks (so at 5 Intelligence, that means no other Int perks slotted). Then you just slot it in and it works. The part of the perk that slows down how fast a gun breaks will immediately take effect. You will still need to find plans for the fatman launcher and the MIRV mod if you want to craft those.

Gunsmith perk simply stops the durability of your guns from dropping as fast. They last longer before they break in other words. There is no display to show it working. It is just there when the perk is equipped.

Are you saying that your fatman is breaking after the exact same number of shots and there is no difference when using Gunsmith?

Explosive launchers like fatman, auto grenade launcher and missile launcher do not use heavy gunner perks. As their ammo is explosive it uses demolition expert perk for damage instead.

no i cant craft it

[sparky_bandit]

When you try to craft things there is a window that shows what material you need to craft that item. If you’re missing an item it is kind of greyed out.

When crafting anything you need skill, plan and resources.

is there a plan needed for it?
