Whatcha all playing!

I played and rolled credits in animal well which was really fantastic. I am still looking for secrets! Also checked out caves of qud's new UI update on the beta branch. It's outstanding

Welcome to the game! I played ages ago and returned recently. Definitely enjoying myself and trying a power armor heavy gunner build.

I strongly recommend just not holding onto as much scrapped junk. Its actually pretty easy to come by a lot of scrap types when you need it. Also strength is a good stat, invest in it for carry weight increases. Power armor also increases your carry weight if you have low strength. Power cores are decently easy to come by.

Thank you! I bulked several hundred of the heaviest items and sold them to a vendor, and I made throwing knives from the excess steel (and sold those).

I think I should still pare that down, though. Right now, screws are my primary concern, and like you pointed out, I don't seem to be having trouble with things like lead, cloth, and steel. I do have power armor, and I saved up to get the core recharger, so I should probably make use of that more often.

What are your thoughts on keeping higher level weapons in stash? I have some level 25+ items, but I'm only level 19.

At low levels you'll be blasting through weapons pretty quickly because you'll outlevel them and find better stuff. If you're running low on space don't bother hanging onto more than maybe two guns you want to use at higher levels.

What playstyle do you enjoy? I'm level 170 and only really do heavy guns and rifles. Pistols (revolvers in particular) are usually my favorite but in this game they're suboptimal. As such I have maybe 4 or 5 weapons that are really good I hang onto.

Also what's your platform? Maybe I can help you out a bit.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I have a few heavy weapons I'm holding onto that are 45+, so I'll see what's worth keeping.

I tend to enjoy the stealthy, long-range playstyle. My favorite weapon so far is a hunting rifle I've modded with a long scope and a suppressor (and others mods that boost aim, crit, or reload), and I try to use a plasma pistol for close quarters (because of the chance for nuclear waste); I have an automatic laser rifle and a 10mm subauto as backup, if things get overwhelming. I'm open to suggestions, though!

I play on PC via the Xbox/Game Pass launcher.

Hopefully that helps!

I'm on steam so I'm not overly sure how I'd join up with you, DM me and we'll see what we can do
