Are weapon racks safe to use now in 2021

[2-Bit]

I was gonna hang my old weapons up, but before I left, I got the urge to check to make sure they'd be alright,

Haven't had any issues with them either when putting modded or vanilla weapons.

That sounds promising!

Settlers will steal from weapon displays. At least the minigun stand anyways.

I have never tested the wall racks or had those stolen.

I think wall racks are safe.
However i might be wrong not 100% sure cause i never kept ammo near decorative weapon racks and usable weapons i keep in armory behind powered doors. (Apparently settler can sometimes warp into armories like these but i never had an incident like this so idk)

Yeah I am going to make a point to try testing it out this game.

Simply because I have not had any taken in the past does not mean I stored ammo close enough, lol.

Nothing has changed in the game since the last patch, more than a couple years ago.

I wouldn't trust it for a weapon I really do not want to lose. I store those in mannequins.

Well I put a .308 pipe rifle on a display rack above the workbench in Sanctuary. I put .308 ammo in the workbench,

I have True Storms ghoul horde on and nobody touched it, yet. I only had a population of 6-7 at the time, see if it still holds true with about 20 settlers and another attack.

Thanks for the info, yo. It really helps.
BTW, I intend to play vanilla until I get all achievements.

There is a mod that removes the stupid achievements lock when playing modded if you are interested to play with mods and still be able to get achievements.

That's awesome!
My bro would be foaming at the mouth to get his hands on that.

Yeah there is quite a few bug fix mods and performance mods out there you should be using.

I might be up for those tbh. This is my first playthrough rn, so I dunno if that changes anything.

The game is quite playable vanilla, there are a few known bugs that can't be helped but can be ignored. I'd play it as is, if you don't like it you can add mods at any time. Just remember you can't take them away without some risk to your save file integrity.

Keep in mind this game has its share of quest / questline and game breaking bugs. Ranging from obscure to very reproducible. Most of them can be and were fixed by 3rd party mods.

Including the very nasty Cryolator bug that destroys enemy spawners.

Either one should often make saves (or save backups when playing on survival)
Or install unofficial fixes and patches.
