Gaaaah. Restarting from scratch would be easier. Made it to lvl 51 and moved my base. Ive accommodated it with 4 beds on the second level and a fully operational workshop on the 3rd. 5 purified water pumps (small). A lead extractor. So if im on and you need a place to re arm and refit hit me up.

really fearing this nerf they are planning on the two shots. My usual walking around rifle is a 2 shot pipe rifle, can’t remember when i got it but it is a lv5 1 star, haven’t found anything else too useful. Its not even explosive or anything but that is probably because I’ve had relatively low luck special points. I’ve got my damage output to about 200 though with the rifleman perks.
I’m lv59 now (edit)
New Survival Mode Teased for Fallout 76
Last week, Bethesda teased upcoming content for Fallout 76, although very few details were given. It was recently revealed that this project has been titled “Survival,” and it’s the new game mode arriving for fans in the future. With Patch 5 on the way as well, there’s plenty to see on what’s to come.
Inspired by more “competitive” players, Survival Mode comes with decreased restrictions on PVP combat and a higher risk when exploring. Supported with ranked leaderboards, all players outside of a team or group are considered hostile, meaning any survivor can kill, or be killed. The mode will be accessible through the main menu with the option to create an entirely new character upon launch. Pre-existing characters can also be used; however, anything that happens in survival mode—good or bad—will be carried over into Adventure mode as well.
As for Patch 5, the majority of fixes are still directed at bugs and glitches that remain in-game. However, weapon and armor modifications are also set to change. Due to an issue with players unintentionally scrapping mods, the process must now be done manually with any modifications that are loose. Furthermore, both the the Two-Shot and Explosive legendary mods have received balance tweaks to adjust the damage output. More upcoming fixes are listed below:
- A “(Known)” tag will now appear next to recipes and plans you’ve already learned in Vendor and player inventories, and trade menus.
- The Traveling Pharmacy Perk will now correctly reduce the weight of RadAway and other Chems.
- Early Warnings quest progress will no longer become stuck when crafting Upgraded Motors, and logging out after crafting Upgraded Motors will no longer reset the quest tracker to 0/5.
- And many more bug fixes
Finally, Bethesda noted that additional exploits would also be addressed in the future, as they continue to investigate reports sent in by players. The rest of Patch 5 will be revealed on the day of launch.
The Survival Mode beta is expected to launch sometime in March with more updates planned further in the future. Patch 5 is still scheduled to release at the end of January.

Scrapping: Loose weapon and armor mods are now protected from autoscrapping when crafting. However, they can still be scrapped manually if a player wants to break them down into scrap components.
Plans and Recipes: When viewing a plan or recipe in a menu, a “(Known)” tag will now appear next to the names of recipes and plans the player has already learned.
Happy about these two.

Ah.
Looks like this patch also managed to undo a whole bunch of previous fixes.
These are some of the ones I’ve seen mentioned.
- Bobby pin weight
- Character freeze on initial load
- Game crashes
- Enemies HP replenishing unless using melee weapons
- Unable to craft using bulked components
- Duping exploit back
