Fusion cores

[therealjaxon]

What's the best way to farm fusion cores? Private server?

[OranTruk]

Nuke plant in south has fusion core production and lead also. I guess you would launch a nuke in an area with lots of flora to gather. There are maps online that show where the flora is. Unless you can kill the Queen and all that happens there, because the ingredients get dropped.

Cool, thanks. I was thinking about making them on the power plants on a private server - does private server loot transfer across to public server? (new to the game BTW)

Private and public are shared, it's just the worlds and customs that don't.

Lovely, thanks for the info :-)

I don't use power armour that much tbh but it seems to use up fusion cores pretty quick when I am in it `\_("/)_/'

Craft gatling laser guns, buying from vendors who visit your camp, completing Event: Line in the Sand, completing Daily Ops with gatling laser, all give you fusion cores. As time goes on, you'll find yourself having more cores than you can consume. Sometimes I have to unequip the Power User perk card (and save 3 perk points) just so I can consume my 50+ cores faster. And I use those 3 points for Batteries Included, which makes fusion cores weigh 90% less.

And then there is "recharging" fusion cores using the legendary perk card "Electric Absorption." At full rank, this card has a 20% chance to recharge your power armor's fusion core when you receive energy attacks from enemies. Just stand next to the liberator bots right outside Vault 76 and take their laser damage, and you can easily recharge a bunch of cores.

A camp right next to one of the power plant workshops always works best for me. When you log on, immediately go and power up the plant and claim the yard, start the core generator, then go adventuring with the rest of your dailies - come back every so often to empty the generator because it maxes at 3 cores.

Personally I like Thunder Mountain because despite the 3 rooftop repair spots it has the quickest/easiest repair circuit and building on the lake behind the plant gives you quick, easy access to the core generator (which is right near the back part of the workshop, right by the lake). Less than 10 second PvP exposure per core pickup and you can easily clear 8 cores an hour.

Google PA locations and travel to each one to get low charge cores, then pop them into the charger at camp. The perk card that slows core consumption helps, as well as using the jet pack only when needed since it eats cores...

i think people just make weapons for the fusion cores if they wanna do a done

I'm running with like 78-79 on my character. I mostly get them from event rewards or just find them laying around. No need to loot them off of frames.

Nuclear plants are best, take multiple plants if you play on private server. Should be fine on public servers aswell, since not many attack workshops. Just don't stay at them all the time, that might encourage pvpers to come to you if you are lower level.

Get constructor perk, and home defence. Put out a fusion reactor and connect it to the fusion core machine. Also put out heavy turrets around the area until the scrap you have avalible in the area is not green anymore. So you don't have to use your own scrap.

Do this with 3 nuclear powerplants. And jump in between them to get fusion cores faster.

In the end I powered up two fusion core machines in Poseidon and Thunder Mountain, walled them in and placed turrets.
Then just fast travelled for free between the two to collect the cores.
After 1 1/2 hrs I had 17 fully charged cores so not bad although, I don't know if it's the norm but I had to defend Thunder Mountain from two Scorchbeasts (easily the most annoying enemy in F76), so they obviously caused a disruption in manufacture to say the least!

The 3 Power plants, Fix them up, and you get free power for the Fusion Core Machine, at the workshops. Need to learn/unlock the part the Gatling Laser, or the Ultrasite Gatling Laser, make a few up and more Fusion Cores. Using Flux for cores while is possible, unless you have good luck with getting the prerequisite materials, maybe save the stable flux for other things. Have Real World Money, and cant wait for the "The Pitt Recruitment Bundle" to show up in the Atomic shop? To get the "Fusion Core Recharger", to never have a partial core again. Unless your going for Ultrasiite Cores.

I did see the The Pitt dlc but thought £12,49 for a fusion core charger was a bit much (and that's on sale) the other bits are just skins and a gun

Imo, that should be £10 Max or free even, considering Fallout 1st is £100 a year
