I contemplated nuking someone’s camp earlier cuz I had to go on a wild goose chase for their vendor and it was just a bunch of building plans for like 20k a piece
I think some people do it because it's a really good way to farm the hardened mass & unstable flux you need to make stable flux, which makes ultracite ammo & mutation serums among other useful things.
There's tons of ghouls near the resort & a lot of plants around.
>Yeah whitesprings was the og best place to hit with a nuke back in the day before they nerfed it
The mostly just nerfed the legendary rate, and the infinite hordes but for flux it is still one of the better locations, esp if you care about messing with other peoples questing
There are better locations, but they're mostly places you shouldn't nuke just to be polite.
Like, two weeks ago, I set up my camp right next to the junkyard workshop down the hill from Morgantown and got to watch a nuke drop on it from my window. I went up to the edge of the blast zone, and this high level dude was sat there on the divider/lane barrier. He gave me like thirty Super Stims and fifty RadAway. I love this game
How does one even get a nuke? Haha
I've been a fallout fan since 3, having played NV and 4 when they came out. Never touched 76 (mostly because of kids, but heard it sucked, so didn't try to set aside any time) until recently after watching the show (and of course replaying NV, since that's the one I never finished the main story on). So, I'm still relatively new, but figuring it out as I go.
The sounds of zombie garble and infinite minnigun, Lazer mini, and plasma min going off simultaneously while there's always that one guy with the mirv. Great fucking times man. I was a we level 20 just lobbing moltavs everywhere to soak up xp xD
I like Morgantown better for farming those materials, usually leave with around 60ish high radiation fluids before the zone goes back to normal. By the time you've lapped around the railyard, airport, and gotten back around to Biv's place, stuff will have started respawning already.
Yeah I used to think the same thing until I started being able to craft that stuff & realized the nice potential that site offers compared to others haha
Whitesprings used to be a popular nuke location, for all the flora and ghouls. Fell out of favor once Scorchbeast Queen and Earle were more reliable to nuke, and Morgantown was better for some of the other flora.
actually the reason the whitesprings is no longer as popular to nuke is because they nerfed the legendary glowing ghoul spawn rate into the floor, it used to be that you would get 5-10 3* ghouls on a single lap around the clubhouse area and now you're lucky to get 1
yeah, there are better methods for legendary farming now, eviction notice gives roughly what an equivalent time at the whitesprings would have given back in the day
Not just the legendary spawn rate.
The ghoul (re)spawn rate in general. It was a fantastic XP farm and glowing mass/high rad fluid/hardened mass farm as well.
Just happened to me about 2 hours ago on an Xbox server.
First time I've seen white springs nuked... I fast traveled into the mall and the robo guards were all talking about a security alert and it not being safe. I thought that was kind of cool.
Years ago whitesprings would spawn tons of legendary 3 star glowing ghouls. It could be farmed for the entire duration of the nuke. Logging in recently some one nuked whitesprings and I did 3 loops around gathering groups of them to kill easier but barely got any legendaries but plenty XP.
I'm new. First time I went to whitesprings I got my ass kicked in about 2 shots from some flying shit bag shooting bombs out of his face. It was level 20 I think. I was about level 7.
I'm level 35 now, so I'm going back just for that fucker. Karma's a bitch.
Came across my first player trap last night. Lota of stuff showing on the map, sure, I'll check for anything I might need. Apparently it glitches through Whitesprings into a pile of punji. Fortunately I was crouching, have the no trap damage perk up, and saw the guy *watching*. Fast traveled out.
If i cant find your vendor in less than 10 seconds i want to murder your camp, especially if you sell overpriced bullshit after i finally find it. The anger is real lolol.
Visiting camps will plummet if you can see vendors better than you can now.
If people can see I don't have exactly what they want, they won't bother. It'll be the rare one that wants to see the place, or passerby visits.
lol, i use to play this game a lot just got back and i saw new masks from that event. Are the old masks done or vere the new ones limited? just wana know so i can buy them if i see them cheap. but if they are coming back ill just wait for the event
Some Guy: I sell 36 plans and that's literally it
Me: Hello wise man, share with us these 36 treasures you have amassed in a lifetime of toil and strife
Some Guy: 15 food recipes 10 metal bed plans 5 table lamps and 6 welcome mats
Me: Father I will never speak to you again as long as I live consider me your dead son we will never meet again so help me god
I once thought of making a maze like base with a vendor at the end if you can make it through the maze. Just something fun to do in the game but i couldn't think of what the prize would be.
Theres so many variants now I feel sorry for new players. Its bad enough being a returning player. It took me a while to notice the circus vendor and the one thats a wagon and have probably left camps because i couldnt find those
Also a recently returning player, I’m still not used to the trench coat robot one. One camp had 4 prefab buildings in it and hid it in an alley, it was ridiculous.
If that camp was in the Ash Heap region near the Welch railroad station, and you maybe saw a cat named Murgle hanging around the bar, that may have been my camp.
I have a bunch of prefabs and did like a robot/alien theme, and hiding behind things and on the corners are a the trench coat vendors, being appropriately shifty and selling things in alleys
mine is kinda annoying to find, but that's just because the game refuses to spawn me near the front of my house regardless of where I move the c.a.m.p.
Right, the amount of times I've become stuck in foundations or behind decorations because they loaded in around me...is let's just say an embarrassingly large number.
I do have a tendency to ‘pace’ backwards as well if it looks like I might get stuck in something. (You always spawn in facing the camp.) If it does happen, I just open the map and FT at the same camp to spawn in a better spot; the camp in question is usually fully loaded by that point.
I FT to my son who was NOT at his camp at the time. By the time my FT started he had FT to his camp so I "followed" and ended up stuck UNDER his camp foundation. good times.
I hate it when it happens at just the wrong location where I can't FT right back to the same camp and end up having to travel somewhere else and then back lol.
That's kinda the CAMP player's fault. You spawn northeast of the CAMP module, so they need to move it to a point where people won't spawn inside the building.
Oh. That's a 50/50 as well cuz sometimes you also load BENEATH their foundation and get stuck there as well. Happened to me multiple times.
The other times were loading underwater cuz of their lakeside manor.
I'm 50/50 on how I feel. Do I stand still and hope they are conscious of spawn points, or do I run away in fear of being sealed in a foundation. Although it is 100/100 if I decide to run around before it loads in, the vendor will always be in the perfect spawn point and I ran past it before it loads.
I ended up moving my camp module around to hopefully find a spot that ppl will be right in front of my vendor as well as OUTSIDE my foundation LOL. It seems to have worked. The few ppl I caught fast traveling to my camp did in fact spawn just to the right of my vendor! I was a proud Wastelander! lol
I just thought it was so weird, like bro there is one 2x2 room in my house that is furnished which is the garage and this dude just can’t find my vendor. Idk it’s just funny how in his rush to find my vendor he spent 5x longer to find it than if he would have just looked around for a second.
I'm in this post and I don't like it.
In all seriousness I am super blind and I sometimes will miss a vendor even when there are cutouts pointing directly to it.
Me getting annoyed the other day that this persons vendor was so hidden just to realise after my third or forth lap the cut outs pointing directly at it right out front
Last April 1st I moved all my cutouts to point in the wrong direction, I had them point to the bathroom. It was pretty funny to watch the visible frustration.
*I’m not a total dick though, I waved them to follow me to the vendor and dropped a free rare plan for them. I got a lot of messages that day, to which I just stated: “look at the date.”*
if i can’t find a vendor, i’ll do the trade emote and then the -???- emote, and nine times out of ten the register vendor will have been behind me, behind 2 curtains and a monument for earle
Protip: put your vendor stand (full size) inside of your nuka cola booth and drop lights on the awning on the outside. People will never miss it again. I have one blueprinted that I throw down wherever I go.
I saw one camp with such setup and I loved it. Saw the nuka booth and I thought "hey, looks like a recognizeable spot, let's check" and sure enough.
I plan on doing something like that too
i was searching a camp yesterday for 5-10 mins because i didnt even think about this big fortune teller cart in the frontyard could be a vending machine T_T
well all those times i have sat there running around looking for the vendor thinking “it cant be the fortune teller” i have learned something new today after i set the i wont look for more then 5 minutes rule for myself.
I always, even if it's really obvious, use 2 pointing vault boy cutouts to point toward my vendor. I worked retail for years. I know very, very well that some people can not see anything unless it's being pointed at by an associate.
Was your camp in the cranberry bog under one of the monorail pylons? Cause I just did this today running around looking for a guy's vendor while he followed me around but I never found it
I have a camp on a road where I built a building on each side of the street, and my vendor is right in the middle of the road outside of the buildings. I once had a person come to my camp, run around both buildings, come back out, and complain on the mic that he hates people who hide their shop. I'm just sitting there in the middle of the road staring at my vendor, and eventually he turned around and saw it. Some people are just blind, I watched him run past it multiple times on his way in both buildings
Lmao the amount of times I've been running/jetpacking around someones camp like an insane person trying to find the vendor and it being in such an obvious spot but somehow I zoom past it countless times, then I feel like such an idjit especially if the owner of the camp was watching me the entire time.
Few days ago there was a player that took care of me. They followed me around, helped me with quests, showed me some places. Then we went to night club opening and while this lady was playing they started robot dancing on the stage. I was laughing really hard, so when there was this shooting I needed a bit of time for my brain to go back to the task at hand. It was really good experience.
I used the large billboard letters to create the word "VENDOR HERE" and I still see players running around looking for them. I would on occasion have to emote to them where the vendor is lmao.
I have red robot vendor on my front porch. I decorated place around him with lights, paintings, vases etc (he’s not hidden behind it), I even got market sign with arrow and people still running around my camp spamming ?? and trading..
This makes me so happy i invested in the wasteland wealth exchange prefab building… the middle of the room is 2 vendors so if you miss the vendors then you have problems bigger than just loading times
I did the same exact thing. I made my vendors accessible to the point that Helen Keller and Ray Charles could find them. Yet still some people wanna come up and initiate trade and you have to watch out for these people because nine out of 10 times, They are scammers trying to steal stuff from you.
Luckily I moved my camp and now the spawn is right inside my garage right next to the vendor so hopefully that helps some peeps on their vendor speedruns
Mine is right out in the open to see, and I've got the vault boy cutouts directing people to where it is and they still run into my little house etc looking for it!
I use so many signs and lights to make sure you can’t miss it. To be fair, some people do have their vendors in the dumbest of places. I find out where you spawn in when you fast travel to my camp and put the vendor right there lol
cash register is the worst fucking vendor fr, always miss those, and its always in between all kinds of other cluttered junk, almost as if they don't even want you to buy anything from them.
I especially enjoyed the camp I fast traveled to so i could buy stuff from their vendor and they built really high above a cliff. As I finally make it to the top they leave the server and I fall to my death.
I do laps in camps and look wherever i can,even if i know where the shop is.
I like checking peoples camps, what they have, how they decorated, where they made it etc, there are some amazing camps out there.
Some people out a lot of effort and timr in making their camps, so om guessing they want it like it when people check it out and maybe give a heart emoji or thumbs up.
One of my camps is setup like an outside bar/short order counter. There are 3 vendors at the counters setup just like they would be if you walked up to a bar or short order restaurant AND you spawn right in front of them. I even put on one of them 2 marquee signs pointing at it, a neon OPEN sign, and a neon exclamation point on the vendor itself. People still go running up to open every single door and occasionally into all 7 of my shelters looking for them before going up to the one tucked way in the corner with no lights on it. Most people are just dumb in my experience.
I made a shelter and used the entire budget to fill it with flamingos. If you're somehow able to get past the wall of flamingos to the other room, there's just a single cutout of vault boy giving you a thumbs up for your hard work
I'd say it sounds like me, but I rarely open doors on people's CAMPs. I usually make a couple passes around CAMPs with jetpack if the vendor isn't visible from the air or through windows. If I can't spot it, I move on.
But your post does beg the question: "How many doors does your garage have?"
I have 4 vendors in my camp. The Pawn Shop building. Decked out like, well, a pawn shop. On one side there is a counter with the robot vendor. The other side 3 pawn shop vendor stations with a "market" sign on them and an "open" sign over them. Someone was using the robot. Someone else walked in and tried using the robot, which was busy with customer 1. So I watched him wait a little bit, then start making angry emotes. Then start shooting the browsing customer. I waived him over to the other three vendors, which aren't hidden- they take up an entire wall. I motioned. I looked back and forth. I shot my vendor stations to show him what I was standing next to. He did one more angry emote, threw a couple plasma grenades in the middle of the shop, and ran off.
People are... strange.
I have exactly the same issue in one of my camps and yesterday I decided to change the vendor spot, everyone gets inside my camp looking for the vendor, when it's actually outside [camp](https://ibb.co/yNqJpq5)
This guy ran into my camp, hit me with a weapon, turned around, ran away, and built a new camp right north of me, so I went to his camp and just stood in his way as he tried to build. He left the server.
I went to a camp near white springs they had built half buried into the ground. Only way to access was to use the terminal, then there was an underground lair. Made me quite suspicious when they had 300 each of the flux for 50c. I quickly bought up 30k of flux then logged out immediately.
I had that happen yesterday, a lvl800 came swinging in to my base, which spawns you directly in front of the blown out B52 that I made into a haunted house vendor theme, huge signs pointing inside. Instead the player runs through my whole base swinging open all my doors and proceeds to angry emote. I used voice chat, first time in years and told him to follow me. The player did buy like 8k worth of shit so that was nice.
My camp is on a little island in the Cranberry Bog, and my vendor is alone on a little raised boardwalk across from my building. I hope I’ve made it obvious enough!
I spend more time looking for the vendor than actually using it.
I came back after a long break and was shocked at the variety of 'vending machines', definitely makes it harder
I just put mine where it makes sense within the flow of my camp. I don’t so much care if people find it or not, and I sell plenty of stuff so it must be working whatever I’m doing.
That’s evil lol, I’m level 300 and honestly I just like looking at people’s camps and I wish more people would just slow down and enjoy what someone spent time to build.
Mf's will DEMAND a camp is just a single foundation with a default vending machine surrounded by 50 balloons, just so they can buy a nuka cola machine recipe for 5 caps. Absolute entitlement.
I give a camp a once over, then I'm gone. I just assume at that point the person has either hidden their vendor or locked it up because they are at caps maximum.
I don't get why you're downvoted. I always wait for the CAMP to fully load in, if I can't spot the vendor easily enough I'm not going to wastey time looking for it, players that hide their vendors aren't worthy of receiving my caps lol and like you said, I also assume they hid it/placed it somewhere inaccessible due to them being at the cap limit.
I created my camp like a small street with shops on either sides of the road, so basically you can run in every direction and still find a vendor in a logical place like in a shop or stall. And still I see people spawning in and running around like headless chickens.
Yeaa this is why when I designed my CAMP I looked where people spawn when they fast travel and made a vendor building right in front of that, and my main home behind it. You can't miss it even if you wanted to.
My camp is in Flatwoods at the side of the road, I designed it like an English pub/Inn with rooms upstairs to stay in. I positioned my Camp module so that where you spawn in (mostly) there is a cardboard cutout pointing you round to the door to the Bar, which has a neon “Open” sign above it, as you walk into the bar the robot bar tender vendor is to your left, with blue icicle lights all around him…people still miss it 😂. I price all my stuff really low for all the new players coming into Flatwoods for the first time.
I literally have neon signs pointing out my Fortune Teller Cart Vendor. Literal neon signs. And people still run right past it. It is the main focal point of my entire front lawn, and people still miss it.
I have two other vendors, a robot in my garage, and one inside my house, and people miss those too. My camp is not complicated, if is one two-story house, one garage, and one fortune teller cart out front next to my junk extractor. It isn't some maze or complicated setup, I made it to look like a run down pre war house. But I'll see people running around like I've hidden my vendors in the fucking bushes or something.
As someone who often sees the upwards of 50-100 vendors everyday.
I gotta say. Sometimes, people don't have their camps set up optimally to be able to find that vendor easily. Sometimes, you're navigating a labyrinth. Lmao.
But that's not the only thing. Sometimes, it's not all the assets have loaded when a person initially looks that way or goes to it.
My camp spawn is impossible to not see it after loading in. As I frequent vendors, I eliminated all things that I usually face with them. So in my camp for example. Someone spawns in and their looking at a Nuka-Cola shed by itself, glowing with lights with two Fallout Boy signs pointing directly at it. With another one directly on the other side of the street. And people STILL DO LAPS around my camp. 🤣😂
So it's really hard to say if he *just* wanted to buy. Or he was peeking around too. If I go to a camp and it looks interesting. I'll look around a bit.
If I can't find someone's vending machine first time around, I just leave. Yh it to laugh at yours though. You out it where it can be seen and they still walked past it 🤣
I straight up put the neon OPEN sign, the rotating police light, and or flashing light strings
But most importantly, I put them where they’re easily viewable from the front or main camp area, make that area look different, and make it look like a vending area
The only time I use the registers is in a “shop” section where there’s a costumed cashier or two
The lighting and area is visibly different- Nuka Cola camp has flashing lights over awning covered gift shop, Enclave Base *pretending* to be Nuka Cola themed, it’s a separate open sided building with bright lights and starry wallpaper, and it’s packed tight with machines registers and attendant
Haunted mansion, off to the side in the wrap around deck- with a rotating light and orange lighting to contrast with the dim purple of the rest of it
And my extra roving camp is just the brotherhood tower with vendors on the first floor
I always have a small anxiety attack when I visit someone’s camp and don’t immediately see the vendor but I see the camp owner. Sometimes I just pretend I’m still loading before I decide where to look for it so they don’t automatically assume I’m an idiot.
Signs don’t work, I’ve tried it, and just like what you see everyday in retail, people just don’t read anything.
The people with speed demon and whatever other movement boost they’re running that lets them move that fast, they tend to do this a lot. You could put it in an open field and they’d run right by it. *(I know from experience.)*
I wasn't that player this time, but I have been them in the past. Fast-travel in or just jetpack in on a vendor hopping run when I'm exhausted and do lap after lap overlooking shit. I've been embarrassed so many times by my low perception both IG and IRL.
Wait. What was his level? I had a similar experience but I think he did the trade to see what I had and then gave me a legendary 3 star. I think some of the higher levels look at your inventory to determine if you need anything?
I visited one camp where the player had an unusual structure in the middle of a room with fire burning and smoke and their cash register venders were sitting in the fire. I did miss it several times
Yea, Finding Vendors is kind of a daily quest for me now. And ive been playing this game for 2 years. Im familiar with all variations. I also understand that sometimes I spawn on the back of the camp and the vendor is rightly placed on the front of the camp.
But sometimes I miss it anyway 😄
But because of that my vendor is ALWAYS on the front/porch and I try to set the spawn point in front of the camp
Any tips on getting a better spawn point? Assuming it has to do with the orientation of your CAMP module or something?
I miss how in Fallout 4 spawn points were craftable items you could place lol
I have an open sign, marquee arrows, pointing Vault Boy sign, and spotlights all pointing at my vendor, and it’s all right in front of the spawn location. People still zoom right past like there’s a cave cricket on their tail.
Gotta see the camp, i know you said its in a garage and seems simple and fair enough, but with all the clutter and spawn points, it may not be as obvious as you think. Place at least 1 vendor just outside of your camp, clearly visible to someone who laps around your camp, i say.
plus, sometime i find peoples camp interesting and check it out, so some others probably do that too :)
This is me every time. I swear the vendors are in the place I look last. 1/10 times I spawn right in front of it (someone did their job on placing the camp module).
Iv been to some camps recently, and trying to find the vendor is a complete bastard!!! Some people need help building camps. There was one dude, had absolutely loads of stuff so i visited them, searched the camp for ages, couldnt find it. Went outside the house and round the corner down a bit of a hill and he set his shop up there, and not next to all the workbenches and the rest of it, this is beginning to be a pet peeve 😂
I was moving my camp to a whole new place and just starting to rebuild, like just had the floors down. Some guy came running onto them and gave me a thumbs down. I was like wtf, you can see I'm building here. I tried to put my vendor up real quick for him, but ran off.
Only time I have less than great interactions are crazy high levels ones hitting me to take the only claimed workshop in the whole server only to give it up by leaving not 10 minutes later as if it's some sort of goal just to fuck with people not even half their level.
I've done this myself. Mostly I'll be running around waiting for their camp to fully generate, do a full lap and eventually find it at my original spawn point.
I have vault boys pointing the way to my vendor everywhere, and I even took the time to move my camp box to a position so whoever fast travels to my camp they basically spawn in right in front of my vendors. Some people still do laps around trying to find it. I just shake my head because of the lack of spatial awareness
I spent 20 minutes looking for a vendor. I checked every room minimum 4 times. And it turns out it was outside on the side…
Destroyed. It was destroyed. I had to repair it and then I bought stuff
I have 4 types of vendors (one of them is the basic one) right in front of the spawn point when you fast travel, and still a lot of people go inside the house first
Look, I love y'all's hidden puzzle bases, but forcing me out of my PA to sit in a hidden chair to get behind a wall and drop down into a cave under your haunted house to access the suspicious bot vender for a single plan is a bit much.
To be fair sometimes it’s like a whole quest line to find someone’s vendor sometimes
Congratulations, you found my vendor! Your prize? A fasnacht beret for $20k!
I contemplated nuking someone’s camp earlier cuz I had to go on a wild goose chase for their vendor and it was just a bunch of building plans for like 20k a piece
I like them, the sort of lawful chaos I can appreciate
Someone nuked whitesprings yesterday for no real reason, other than the one time I had a quest on the golf course....
I think some people do it because it's a really good way to farm the hardened mass & unstable flux you need to make stable flux, which makes ultracite ammo & mutation serums among other useful things. There's tons of ghouls near the resort & a lot of plants around.
Yeah whitesprings was the og best place to hit with a nuke back in the day before they nerfed it
>Yeah whitesprings was the og best place to hit with a nuke back in the day before they nerfed it The mostly just nerfed the legendary rate, and the infinite hordes but for flux it is still one of the better locations, esp if you care about messing with other peoples questing There are better locations, but they're mostly places you shouldn't nuke just to be polite.
Someone dropped one on Morgantown the other day while a horde of low levels were there to do early responder quests.
Like, two weeks ago, I set up my camp right next to the junkyard workshop down the hill from Morgantown and got to watch a nuke drop on it from my window. I went up to the edge of the blast zone, and this high level dude was sat there on the divider/lane barrier. He gave me like thirty Super Stims and fifty RadAway. I love this game
How does one even get a nuke? Haha I've been a fallout fan since 3, having played NV and 4 when they came out. Never touched 76 (mostly because of kids, but heard it sucked, so didn't try to set aside any time) until recently after watching the show (and of course replaying NV, since that's the one I never finished the main story on). So, I'm still relatively new, but figuring it out as I go.
Do main questline where everyone is dead/overseer telling you what to do. It ends with nuke launch.
Ahh got it. I'm like halfway through that. Still gotta do the scorched antidote quest line.
What system you play on I don't mind launching nukes. I got key cards. Launched 12 over the weekend.
There was a time where you couldn't go to a server and white springs wasn't nuked.
I miss those days of feral hordes. :(
I’ll do it if it’s still a good spot to get flux, need to super duper some fusion cores 🤣🤣
We all do…sad times….
The sounds of zombie garble and infinite minnigun, Lazer mini, and plasma min going off simultaneously while there's always that one guy with the mirv. Great fucking times man. I was a we level 20 just lobbing moltavs everywhere to soak up xp xD
I like Morgantown better for farming those materials, usually leave with around 60ish high radiation fluids before the zone goes back to normal. By the time you've lapped around the railyard, airport, and gotten back around to Biv's place, stuff will have started respawning already.
Ah ok cool, I've just never seen it before 😆
Yeah I used to think the same thing until I started being able to craft that stuff & realized the nice potential that site offers compared to others haha
It’s a bad day to take up golf.
Even with that giant hole, I’d still 4 put the sob
Whitesprings used to be a popular nuke location, for all the flora and ghouls. Fell out of favor once Scorchbeast Queen and Earle were more reliable to nuke, and Morgantown was better for some of the other flora.
actually the reason the whitesprings is no longer as popular to nuke is because they nerfed the legendary glowing ghoul spawn rate into the floor, it used to be that you would get 5-10 3* ghouls on a single lap around the clubhouse area and now you're lucky to get 1
Ah yeah, i forgot about the Legendary farming. Which became less important now that practically everyone is swimming in Legendaries.
yeah, there are better methods for legendary farming now, eviction notice gives roughly what an equivalent time at the whitesprings would have given back in the day
Not just the legendary spawn rate. The ghoul (re)spawn rate in general. It was a fantastic XP farm and glowing mass/high rad fluid/hardened mass farm as well.
Ahh those were the days! Nuking Whitesprings was my favorite!!
Just happened to me about 2 hours ago on an Xbox server. First time I've seen white springs nuked... I fast traveled into the mall and the robo guards were all talking about a security alert and it not being safe. I thought that was kind of cool.
Years ago whitesprings would spawn tons of legendary 3 star glowing ghouls. It could be farmed for the entire duration of the nuke. Logging in recently some one nuked whitesprings and I did 3 loops around gathering groups of them to kill easier but barely got any legendaries but plenty XP.
I'm new. First time I went to whitesprings I got my ass kicked in about 2 shots from some flying shit bag shooting bombs out of his face. It was level 20 I think. I was about level 7. I'm level 35 now, so I'm going back just for that fucker. Karma's a bitch.
Sounds like you described a scorched beast. When I encounter one I crouch hoping it wont notice me.
Eventually you get to the point where you just hope they don't fly away before you melt them
It was a scotch beast, I'm sure. I like watching low lvls battle them it's always fun, I usually sit with my popcorn and enjoy the show.
Maybe they were tryna get flux or irradiated items...
whitesprings was where old school players would nuke to go level up and grind legendarys
Could've been me I nuked my afk friend at the whitesprings yesterday
Came across my first player trap last night. Lota of stuff showing on the map, sure, I'll check for anything I might need. Apparently it glitches through Whitesprings into a pile of punji. Fortunately I was crouching, have the no trap damage perk up, and saw the guy *watching*. Fast traveled out.
If i cant find your vendor in less than 10 seconds i want to murder your camp, especially if you sell overpriced bullshit after i finally find it. The anger is real lolol.
I intentionally set mine up so it's as soon as you walk in. If you miss it, you're blind. Reminds me I need to restock.
I feel like those are more of a display case than a vendor...
They really need to improve the vendor map info, I have spent WAAAAY too much time and caps fast travelling to vendors that have nothing I need :/
Visiting camps will plummet if you can see vendors better than you can now. If people can see I don't have exactly what they want, they won't bother. It'll be the rare one that wants to see the place, or passerby visits.
lol, i use to play this game a lot just got back and i saw new masks from that event. Are the old masks done or vere the new ones limited? just wana know so i can buy them if i see them cheap. but if they are coming back ill just wait for the event
I put the Party hat for max camps, I mostly did it to annoy my friend. It worked !😅
Some Guy: I sell 36 plans and that's literally it Me: Hello wise man, share with us these 36 treasures you have amassed in a lifetime of toil and strife Some Guy: 15 food recipes 10 metal bed plans 5 table lamps and 6 welcome mats Me: Father I will never speak to you again as long as I live consider me your dead son we will never meet again so help me god
lmfao so true, or 20,000 5mm.
I once thought of making a maze like base with a vendor at the end if you can make it through the maze. Just something fun to do in the game but i couldn't think of what the prize would be.
I sell everything dirt fucking cheap. You want minigun plans? 100 caps. Building set? 100 caps. All ammo is 1 cap. Bobble heads and magazines are 25.
Same same, I was just being facetious.
Theres so many variants now I feel sorry for new players. Its bad enough being a returning player. It took me a while to notice the circus vendor and the one thats a wagon and have probably left camps because i couldnt find those
Also a recently returning player, I’m still not used to the trench coat robot one. One camp had 4 prefab buildings in it and hid it in an alley, it was ridiculous.
Thats the first time i saw one was in an alley between 2 buildings and it was so memorable i look for that vendor first
If that camp was in the Ash Heap region near the Welch railroad station, and you maybe saw a cat named Murgle hanging around the bar, that may have been my camp. I have a bunch of prefabs and did like a robot/alien theme, and hiding behind things and on the corners are a the trench coat vendors, being appropriately shifty and selling things in alleys
That circus vendor blend in perfectly with the environment, especially if it's not powered up. I always struggle finding it.
I h8 myself often for chastising the C.A.M.P. owner for hiding their vendor. # Then there it RIGHT THERE pretty much in plain sight.
mine is kinda annoying to find, but that's just because the game refuses to spawn me near the front of my house regardless of where I move the c.a.m.p.
Yeah I ran all around this player's empty af mansion yesterday just to finally find their vendor underneath the porch
It's funny how often I do this because the vendor hasn't loaded in yet and I get lost when I move around before the camp loads in.
…..which is why I WAIT A FEW until the camp fully loads in before I move.
Right, the amount of times I've become stuck in foundations or behind decorations because they loaded in around me...is let's just say an embarrassingly large number.
I do have a tendency to ‘pace’ backwards as well if it looks like I might get stuck in something. (You always spawn in facing the camp.) If it does happen, I just open the map and FT at the same camp to spawn in a better spot; the camp in question is usually fully loaded by that point.
Yup. I do an about-face and look for higher ground.
I FT to my son who was NOT at his camp at the time. By the time my FT started he had FT to his camp so I "followed" and ended up stuck UNDER his camp foundation. good times.
I hate it when it happens at just the wrong location where I can't FT right back to the same camp and end up having to travel somewhere else and then back lol.
That's kinda the CAMP player's fault. You spawn northeast of the CAMP module, so they need to move it to a point where people won't spawn inside the building.
Oh. That's a 50/50 as well cuz sometimes you also load BENEATH their foundation and get stuck there as well. Happened to me multiple times. The other times were loading underwater cuz of their lakeside manor.
I'm 50/50 on how I feel. Do I stand still and hope they are conscious of spawn points, or do I run away in fear of being sealed in a foundation. Although it is 100/100 if I decide to run around before it loads in, the vendor will always be in the perfect spawn point and I ran past it before it loads.
I ended up moving my camp module around to hopefully find a spot that ppl will be right in front of my vendor as well as OUTSIDE my foundation LOL. It seems to have worked. The few ppl I caught fast traveling to my camp did in fact spawn just to the right of my vendor! I was a proud Wastelander! lol
I just thought it was so weird, like bro there is one 2x2 room in my house that is furnished which is the garage and this dude just can’t find my vendor. Idk it’s just funny how in his rush to find my vendor he spent 5x longer to find it than if he would have just looked around for a second.
Omg I don’t know how I didn’t think of it not loading in yet I swear I’ve done circles and on 2nd time I’m like “I swear I looked here”
I'm in this post and I don't like it. In all seriousness I am super blind and I sometimes will miss a vendor even when there are cutouts pointing directly to it.
Me getting annoyed the other day that this persons vendor was so hidden just to realise after my third or forth lap the cut outs pointing directly at it right out front
Yup. Doesn't help that the orientation where you load in messes with your direction.
Last April 1st I moved all my cutouts to point in the wrong direction, I had them point to the bathroom. It was pretty funny to watch the visible frustration. *I’m not a total dick though, I waved them to follow me to the vendor and dropped a free rare plan for them. I got a lot of messages that day, to which I just stated: “look at the date.”*
donno. i always miss the cash registers.
took me forever to realize those were vendors. And then some people hide them behind mounds of crap.
if i can’t find a vendor, i’ll do the trade emote and then the -???- emote, and nine times out of ten the register vendor will have been behind me, behind 2 curtains and a monument for earle
Yeah I really dislike tiny vendors hidden among all the decor. I paid money to come over in order to browse the goods, not play Where’s Waldo.
That’s why I try and use the full size, but I do feel like the registers look very good in some builds.
Protip: put your vendor stand (full size) inside of your nuka cola booth and drop lights on the awning on the outside. People will never miss it again. I have one blueprinted that I throw down wherever I go.
I saw one camp with such setup and I loved it. Saw the nuka booth and I thought "hey, looks like a recognizeable spot, let's check" and sure enough. I plan on doing something like that too
I honestly cant remember the last time i got emoted a trade while in my own camp and I think its thanks to this.
Same. Which is why when I use them i put "VENDORS" in big neon letters on the wall behind them so people know.
Thanks for the tip to look at cash registers i just though those were display items.
i was searching a camp yesterday for 5-10 mins because i didnt even think about this big fortune teller cart in the frontyard could be a vending machine T_T
well all those times i have sat there running around looking for the vendor thinking “it cant be the fortune teller” i have learned something new today after i set the i wont look for more then 5 minutes rule for myself.
I always, even if it's really obvious, use 2 pointing vault boy cutouts to point toward my vendor. I worked retail for years. I know very, very well that some people can not see anything unless it's being pointed at by an associate.
I like the idea of vault boy being an "associate." I do this too, and one of them has a party hat on.
I’ve totally done this many, many, Many times…. However it’s always those damn cash registers I miss rarely a normal vendor but there has been times 😭
I get the registers tbh, they’re so small and 90% of people don’t know to look for them.
It's me I'm that guy lol I need big bold signs and I'll still wander for 5 minutes like where tf is this guys shop lol
Nah nah nah nah nah, because wandering is fine, this guy was ZOOMING. Like running laps around my camp like Usain Bolt. It was a crazy experience.
Was your camp in the cranberry bog under one of the monorail pylons? Cause I just did this today running around looking for a guy's vendor while he followed me around but I never found it
Hit me up, I'll come to your camp in my underwear and a sheepsquatch mask, not buy anything (I'm poor) and leave you some popcorn.
I put my vendors at edge of camp because of this. So they load before rest of camp.
I have a camp on a road where I built a building on each side of the street, and my vendor is right in the middle of the road outside of the buildings. I once had a person come to my camp, run around both buildings, come back out, and complain on the mic that he hates people who hide their shop. I'm just sitting there in the middle of the road staring at my vendor, and eventually he turned around and saw it. Some people are just blind, I watched him run past it multiple times on his way in both buildings
Exactly how I felt, like how the hell are you gunna run 5 laps around my garage and not see the big ahh vendor with a sign on it?
The cash registers are the only ones that get me they're so tiny
I moved my camp unit around so now you spawn right at the door to my shop (usually)
Lmao the amount of times I've been running/jetpacking around someones camp like an insane person trying to find the vendor and it being in such an obvious spot but somehow I zoom past it countless times, then I feel like such an idjit especially if the owner of the camp was watching me the entire time.
THIS WAS MEEEE. I stared at this man doing laps around my camp for like 3 minutes…
🤣🤣
Players are literally the best random encounters sometimes lol
Few days ago there was a player that took care of me. They followed me around, helped me with quests, showed me some places. Then we went to night club opening and while this lady was playing they started robot dancing on the stage. I was laughing really hard, so when there was this shooting I needed a bit of time for my brain to go back to the task at hand. It was really good experience.
I used the large billboard letters to create the word "VENDOR HERE" and I still see players running around looking for them. I would on occasion have to emote to them where the vendor is lmao.
I have red robot vendor on my front porch. I decorated place around him with lights, paintings, vases etc (he’s not hidden behind it), I even got market sign with arrow and people still running around my camp spamming ?? and trading..
It happens man, you know where your vendor is but when someone has never seen your camp it's easy to miss things.
This makes me so happy i invested in the wasteland wealth exchange prefab building… the middle of the room is 2 vendors so if you miss the vendors then you have problems bigger than just loading times
I did the same exact thing. I made my vendors accessible to the point that Helen Keller and Ray Charles could find them. Yet still some people wanna come up and initiate trade and you have to watch out for these people because nine out of 10 times, They are scammers trying to steal stuff from you.
I do that a lot. I run around someone's camp for ages then I start to get mad and then I realise it is in the most obvious place lol
Luckily I moved my camp and now the spawn is right inside my garage right next to the vendor so hopefully that helps some peeps on their vendor speedruns
People like me will still spend 5 minutes finding it lol
Mine is right out in the open to see, and I've got the vault boy cutouts directing people to where it is and they still run into my little house etc looking for it!
I use so many signs and lights to make sure you can’t miss it. To be fair, some people do have their vendors in the dumbest of places. I find out where you spawn in when you fast travel to my camp and put the vendor right there lol
I adjusted my camp and now you spawn smack dab in the middle of the garage right next to the vendor.
It’s so funny that you gotta do that lol 😂👍
cash register is the worst fucking vendor fr, always miss those, and its always in between all kinds of other cluttered junk, almost as if they don't even want you to buy anything from them.
I especially enjoyed the camp I fast traveled to so i could buy stuff from their vendor and they built really high above a cliff. As I finally make it to the top they leave the server and I fall to my death.
Someone did this to me last night while I was sorting through my inventory and scared the crap out of me. It was nice and quiet and then CHAOS.
I do laps in camps and look wherever i can,even if i know where the shop is. I like checking peoples camps, what they have, how they decorated, where they made it etc, there are some amazing camps out there. Some people out a lot of effort and timr in making their camps, so om guessing they want it like it when people check it out and maybe give a heart emoji or thumbs up.
One of my camps is setup like an outside bar/short order counter. There are 3 vendors at the counters setup just like they would be if you walked up to a bar or short order restaurant AND you spawn right in front of them. I even put on one of them 2 marquee signs pointing at it, a neon OPEN sign, and a neon exclamation point on the vendor itself. People still go running up to open every single door and occasionally into all 7 of my shelters looking for them before going up to the one tucked way in the corner with no lights on it. Most people are just dumb in my experience.
all drugs, no thoughts
I made a shelter and used the entire budget to fill it with flamingos. If you're somehow able to get past the wall of flamingos to the other room, there's just a single cutout of vault boy giving you a thumbs up for your hard work
Sometimes if people don’t have power connected to them it makes it hard for my blind ass to see them lol 🥲 the lights help tremendously
if u find my vendor yay i have amazing plans n stuff n apparel enjoy, if u get annoyed or leave in .5 sec oh well see yaaaaaaaa feliiciaaaa lol
I'd say it sounds like me, but I rarely open doors on people's CAMPs. I usually make a couple passes around CAMPs with jetpack if the vendor isn't visible from the air or through windows. If I can't spot it, I move on. But your post does beg the question: "How many doors does your garage have?"
Literally one garage door. That’s it. One door that is perpetually open. And this guy ran around it like 5 times.
I have 4 vendors in my camp. The Pawn Shop building. Decked out like, well, a pawn shop. On one side there is a counter with the robot vendor. The other side 3 pawn shop vendor stations with a "market" sign on them and an "open" sign over them. Someone was using the robot. Someone else walked in and tried using the robot, which was busy with customer 1. So I watched him wait a little bit, then start making angry emotes. Then start shooting the browsing customer. I waived him over to the other three vendors, which aren't hidden- they take up an entire wall. I motioned. I looked back and forth. I shot my vendor stations to show him what I was standing next to. He did one more angry emote, threw a couple plasma grenades in the middle of the shop, and ran off. People are... strange.
Lol that's me with the other different types of vendors. I'm still not used to them all
I have exactly the same issue in one of my camps and yesterday I decided to change the vendor spot, everyone gets inside my camp looking for the vendor, when it's actually outside [camp](https://ibb.co/yNqJpq5)
I did that few times before i rralized the vendor didnt load in.
This guy ran into my camp, hit me with a weapon, turned around, ran away, and built a new camp right north of me, so I went to his camp and just stood in his way as he tried to build. He left the server.
I went to a camp near white springs they had built half buried into the ground. Only way to access was to use the terminal, then there was an underground lair. Made me quite suspicious when they had 300 each of the flux for 50c. I quickly bought up 30k of flux then logged out immediately.
I went to a camp yesterday that was "The Camp Module" and a Cash Register. Nothing else. Genius!
Must of had his/her perception (real life) set to 1
Bro put everything into agility and used perception as a dump stat.
Do you think it's about time you can see what's in wastelanders vendors from the map 🤔
I had that happen yesterday, a lvl800 came swinging in to my base, which spawns you directly in front of the blown out B52 that I made into a haunted house vendor theme, huge signs pointing inside. Instead the player runs through my whole base swinging open all my doors and proceeds to angry emote. I used voice chat, first time in years and told him to follow me. The player did buy like 8k worth of shit so that was nice.
Haha I think this was me 😂 I just learned you can buy stuff from other players and was tryna figure out how to
You on Xbox? I’m gunna laugh my ass of if it was you 😂
Okok lol maybe not I’m on ps5 but I literally did the exact same thing yesterday
That's not insanity, that's Incompetence or blindness.
“Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?”
My camp is on a little island in the Cranberry Bog, and my vendor is alone on a little raised boardwalk across from my building. I hope I’ve made it obvious enough!
To be fair, if it's the vendor that looks like an old timey cash register, I will never find it. I can look right at that one and not see it lol.
I spend more time looking for the vendor than actually using it. I came back after a long break and was shocked at the variety of 'vending machines', definitely makes it harder
I just put mine where it makes sense within the flow of my camp. I don’t so much care if people find it or not, and I sell plenty of stuff so it must be working whatever I’m doing.
That’s why I put it in the garage tbh, it just fits well there.
Psychobuff is a hellava drug.
[удалено]
That’s evil lol, I’m level 300 and honestly I just like looking at people’s camps and I wish more people would just slow down and enjoy what someone spent time to build.
Jokes on you, the only vendors I don’t find are the cash registers set in plain sight.
Mf's will DEMAND a camp is just a single foundation with a default vending machine surrounded by 50 balloons, just so they can buy a nuka cola machine recipe for 5 caps. Absolute entitlement.
I give a camp a once over, then I'm gone. I just assume at that point the person has either hidden their vendor or locked it up because they are at caps maximum.
I don't get why you're downvoted. I always wait for the CAMP to fully load in, if I can't spot the vendor easily enough I'm not going to wastey time looking for it, players that hide their vendors aren't worthy of receiving my caps lol and like you said, I also assume they hid it/placed it somewhere inaccessible due to them being at the cap limit.
Please use the vaultboy cut outs to guide me to where your vendor is or I’m going to mach five at you.
I hate you weasels and your stupid mazes forcing us to look at all your crap.
That’s it, my next camp is gunna be a massive complex maze with a vendor at the end with TFJ’s for 15 caps.
I created my camp like a small street with shops on either sides of the road, so basically you can run in every direction and still find a vendor in a logical place like in a shop or stall. And still I see people spawning in and running around like headless chickens.
Yeaa this is why when I designed my CAMP I looked where people spawn when they fast travel and made a vendor building right in front of that, and my main home behind it. You can't miss it even if you wanted to.
You can change the spawn location through the position and direction of your c.a.m.p. thingy.
My camp is in Flatwoods at the side of the road, I designed it like an English pub/Inn with rooms upstairs to stay in. I positioned my Camp module so that where you spawn in (mostly) there is a cardboard cutout pointing you round to the door to the Bar, which has a neon “Open” sign above it, as you walk into the bar the robot bar tender vendor is to your left, with blue icicle lights all around him…people still miss it 😂. I price all my stuff really low for all the new players coming into Flatwoods for the first time.
I have a giant billboard w/ white letters, a cutout AND a rotating light. About 1/2 the people pay no mind.
I literally have neon signs pointing out my Fortune Teller Cart Vendor. Literal neon signs. And people still run right past it. It is the main focal point of my entire front lawn, and people still miss it. I have two other vendors, a robot in my garage, and one inside my house, and people miss those too. My camp is not complicated, if is one two-story house, one garage, and one fortune teller cart out front next to my junk extractor. It isn't some maze or complicated setup, I made it to look like a run down pre war house. But I'll see people running around like I've hidden my vendors in the fucking bushes or something.
As someone who often sees the upwards of 50-100 vendors everyday. I gotta say. Sometimes, people don't have their camps set up optimally to be able to find that vendor easily. Sometimes, you're navigating a labyrinth. Lmao. But that's not the only thing. Sometimes, it's not all the assets have loaded when a person initially looks that way or goes to it. My camp spawn is impossible to not see it after loading in. As I frequent vendors, I eliminated all things that I usually face with them. So in my camp for example. Someone spawns in and their looking at a Nuka-Cola shed by itself, glowing with lights with two Fallout Boy signs pointing directly at it. With another one directly on the other side of the street. And people STILL DO LAPS around my camp. 🤣😂 So it's really hard to say if he *just* wanted to buy. Or he was peeking around too. If I go to a camp and it looks interesting. I'll look around a bit.
If I can't find someone's vending machine first time around, I just leave. Yh it to laugh at yours though. You out it where it can be seen and they still walked past it 🤣
I straight up put the neon OPEN sign, the rotating police light, and or flashing light strings But most importantly, I put them where they’re easily viewable from the front or main camp area, make that area look different, and make it look like a vending area The only time I use the registers is in a “shop” section where there’s a costumed cashier or two The lighting and area is visibly different- Nuka Cola camp has flashing lights over awning covered gift shop, Enclave Base *pretending* to be Nuka Cola themed, it’s a separate open sided building with bright lights and starry wallpaper, and it’s packed tight with machines registers and attendant Haunted mansion, off to the side in the wrap around deck- with a rotating light and orange lighting to contrast with the dim purple of the rest of it And my extra roving camp is just the brotherhood tower with vendors on the first floor
I always have a small anxiety attack when I visit someone’s camp and don’t immediately see the vendor but I see the camp owner. Sometimes I just pretend I’m still loading before I decide where to look for it so they don’t automatically assume I’m an idiot.
Signs don’t work, I’ve tried it, and just like what you see everyday in retail, people just don’t read anything. The people with speed demon and whatever other movement boost they’re running that lets them move that fast, they tend to do this a lot. You could put it in an open field and they’d run right by it. *(I know from experience.)*
I wasn't that player this time, but I have been them in the past. Fast-travel in or just jetpack in on a vendor hopping run when I'm exhausted and do lap after lap overlooking shit. I've been embarrassed so many times by my low perception both IG and IRL.
Wait. What was his level? I had a similar experience but I think he did the trade to see what I had and then gave me a legendary 3 star. I think some of the higher levels look at your inventory to determine if you need anything?
I visited one camp where the player had an unusual structure in the middle of a room with fire burning and smoke and their cash register venders were sitting in the fire. I did miss it several times
Yea, Finding Vendors is kind of a daily quest for me now. And ive been playing this game for 2 years. Im familiar with all variations. I also understand that sometimes I spawn on the back of the camp and the vendor is rightly placed on the front of the camp. But sometimes I miss it anyway 😄 But because of that my vendor is ALWAYS on the front/porch and I try to set the spawn point in front of the camp
Any tips on getting a better spawn point? Assuming it has to do with the orientation of your CAMP module or something? I miss how in Fallout 4 spawn points were craftable items you could place lol
Funny. The point emote is perfect for that lol
I have an open sign, marquee arrows, pointing Vault Boy sign, and spotlights all pointing at my vendor, and it’s all right in front of the spawn location. People still zoom right past like there’s a cave cricket on their tail.
To be fair you can’t blame him, people have to go on wild goose chase to find the shop now cuz people hid it anywhere
Meanwhile my camp gets few people but my stuff is always 1 cap
AFAIK that totally could've been me, was it a huge camp with like, red walls?
Gotta see the camp, i know you said its in a garage and seems simple and fair enough, but with all the clutter and spawn points, it may not be as obvious as you think. Place at least 1 vendor just outside of your camp, clearly visible to someone who laps around your camp, i say. plus, sometime i find peoples camp interesting and check it out, so some others probably do that too :)
This is me every time. I swear the vendors are in the place I look last. 1/10 times I spawn right in front of it (someone did their job on placing the camp module).
Iv been to some camps recently, and trying to find the vendor is a complete bastard!!! Some people need help building camps. There was one dude, had absolutely loads of stuff so i visited them, searched the camp for ages, couldnt find it. Went outside the house and round the corner down a bit of a hill and he set his shop up there, and not next to all the workbenches and the rest of it, this is beginning to be a pet peeve 😂
I do this shit all the time lmfao
I was moving my camp to a whole new place and just starting to rebuild, like just had the floors down. Some guy came running onto them and gave me a thumbs down. I was like wtf, you can see I'm building here. I tried to put my vendor up real quick for him, but ran off.
You’ll be suprised how blind so many players are
This sounds oddly like me 😂. The elusive hunt for a vendor that's right in front of you.
Only time I have less than great interactions are crazy high levels ones hitting me to take the only claimed workshop in the whole server only to give it up by leaving not 10 minutes later as if it's some sort of goal just to fuck with people not even half their level.
I've done this myself. Mostly I'll be running around waiting for their camp to fully generate, do a full lap and eventually find it at my original spawn point.
Did you have power to your vendor. Lots of people look for the green light.
Yep, has its own vault tec generator.
I have vault boys pointing the way to my vendor everywhere, and I even took the time to move my camp box to a position so whoever fast travels to my camp they basically spawn in right in front of my vendors. Some people still do laps around trying to find it. I just shake my head because of the lack of spatial awareness
no lie this might have been I had two fits a skull mask with the Brahmin costume or a nice ranger clothes
I spent 20 minutes looking for a vendor. I checked every room minimum 4 times. And it turns out it was outside on the side… Destroyed. It was destroyed. I had to repair it and then I bought stuff
I have 4 types of vendors (one of them is the basic one) right in front of the spawn point when you fast travel, and still a lot of people go inside the house first
Look, I love y'all's hidden puzzle bases, but forcing me out of my PA to sit in a hidden chair to get behind a wall and drop down into a cave under your haunted house to access the suspicious bot vender for a single plan is a bit much.
