Warning to Ash Heap campers.

[Mooman]

On the PTS the new boss is summoned by nukes on the Abandoned Mine Shaft 2 in the Ash Heap.

If your camp is in this area expect it to be a heavy fire zone:

(I have 2 camps in that zone which will be no go... might just be easier to move...)

How is the new boss-event? Wanna share some info please?

A new boss summoned by nukes? I didn't know! Can't wait to try this! Exciting stuff ahead us, so glad to see they keep working on FO76's future.

If you decide to move, I have 200 acres for sale in the far Northeast near the compass rose. The land will only set you back 1,000,000,000,000.00 caps. :)

They really need to come up with another way of spawning bosses.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

It's not like they added an underground mine explosives expert with Wastelanders who could assist us with collection, crafting, placement of high yield shaped charges which could be placed to have the same effect as dropping a nuke on a mine.

hope its not just a continuation of the copy paste events and call them new content

[PotatoBasket]

Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully I packed up my Encryptid Guest House when the event started spawning drastically less.

*Something about the continued nukage does seem to imply a bit of loathing on the devs part. Is there a reason that they for some reason have to? Like, an entirely new event would glitch 76 like the Pitt initially did, so they devised revamping the Earle event to achieve some sort of better game functionality..?

[Cutlass Jack]

Whew my camp is just north of the blast area. But close enough that I should probably buy some better sunglasses.

[ronr42]

Here's another theory on why the nuke;

Beth wants to force us to team up for NW and not go solo.

With Expeditions it's doable once a day solo. And, I seem to be able to take out the boss trog in Union Dues at least once a week for the weekly rare Plan.

Nukes are a limited resource that will be split between SBQ, Earle, Flux Farming, and this new event.

The nukes are just the lazi-er... easiest means of implementing a gate keeping mechanism. Cause you know, why implement something different when you've already got that at your disposal?

[Dezktop]

when the engine is and has been on life support things tend to break when you try anything new what so ever ( yes its a bad thing)

The events are very fun, I personally love the new boss and the spin the wheel event. Rewards are very cheap with only needing around 3-4 events done to get the highest tier items.

New models for foods (AMAZING)
a lot of unique legendary weapons, you can now reroll the effects and remove the paint if you wish.

new junk items, collectibles and tons of plans.

just hope its not under ground but above ground
