This games been out like 6 years. And the mysterious stranger is still not working.
Equip card. Perk icon procs. Music plays. he's nowhere to be seen and damages NONE of the enemies I'm fighting. There a way to fix this or is Bethesda still just not doing their jobs?

Maybe got laid off last time they reduced the staff. I've have not used it for 2 years-so maybe.

Well I appreciate a response. Painful to have wasted the levels if this is the way it is. RUDE of them to leave it in the game this broken after this long.
He works, he just doesn't have the kill power in this game as in previous games. His major benefit is distracting mobs.

I mean he's not shooting anything at all. If I'm 1v1 with a mob he doesn't shoot or damage it's HP in the least. I'm very certain he's just not appearing, and he definitely isn't drawing aggro. There's no gun shot sound from him, no mobs are turning away from me, nothing's HP bar even moves a sliver.

His problem is he only works on one target. The target he procs on he can do ok damage, but you've probably already killed that one by the time he shows.

He'll hang around and shoot at other targets but do no damage. In those situations he is nothing more than an 'off-tank' for you.

I think that's why I stop using it along time ago. My toons were low level and he worked ok but once they hit like 75 or 100 it was not worth using anymore.

It a fun card to share. Freak people out.

I like him in my Vicky and Vance (Fallout's Bonnie and Clyde) roleplay.

See I'm confused because even 1 on 1 he does literally zero damage and there is no gunshot sound. Where is he showing up for you guys? OK damage? He's not doing a thing. If he's supposed to shoot the target I'm attacking the HP bar never gets touched. I'm currently leveling so can't even 1 shot.

If he WAS helping me shoot a target for as often as he shows up it would actually be helpful.

I've accidentally targeted him with vats that's about all he's good for.

I haven't really used him much recently, he used to be ok. But since then we've had the mob weapon balance that scales their weapons beyond level 50, I wonder if he was missed.

Not only that the camp turrets are bugged in what sounds like a similar way, attack but no damage.

In other words... it sounds like he is a victim of all the Bethesda bugs... sad day...

that is if he even spawns. i had alot of instances where his music play the vault boy show up but he doesnt spawn, even if he spawn i saw moments where he doesnt deal any damage or stands in one place and doesnt shoot. i had enough of his shenanigans and scrapped the card. i hope Bethesda "fixes" him or make a rework (we more likely to get nuclear winter than him being fixed) because right not he is what you said if he spawn that is :steamfacepalm:

What you need to do is ask "Can we get Mysterious Stranger skins on Atom shop?" and it would be fixed tomorrow when they release the new skins

Glad I'm not crazy or something. 😂

Hopefully Bethesda is aware of these issues. Is there a place they take bug reports? It's a bug bummer to have a perk card that just doesnt really did anything.
