That's not bad. Thanks.

I think I was in there about 10 mins or so.


Panzer is right I guess, as the other guya had been there for a while.

So I am back as a recruit.

Not with my trusty old AG-3, but some newer equipment.
Rumours are they will make me a General.(!)

I don`t mind that.

Back to Basic is a good one to do as I think it is a requirement to do the Enclave stuff.

Congrats on your appointment, private.

Your armor is busted and you are about to die of hunger and thirst

That's life in the military I guess.

I hit level 170 yesterday. I am on rank 89 or thereabouts on the scoreboard and really want to hit 98 for those 50 perk coins but I'm not playing enough. Ten hours over the past two weeks. I should buckle down and get this done. Those coins would be a big help.

You have until December 5th to get to level 100 on the scoreboard. You can do it!

Yeah I know, but I need to raise the pace and I have too many games I'm in to at the mo

I think I'm out of luck and won't be able to reach it. Rank 91 now, but with just one week left I don't think I'll get there. The shelter and expedition stuff came at the wrong time. I used a booster yesterday but not much progress really.

I did however get the first Pepper Shaker I've seen, from Spin the Wheel I think. Three-star aristocrat's. Might have to grab some scattergun perks and give this thing a go.

The Pepper Shaker is a great way to burn through shotgun ammo if you have a large surplus of it on hand.

This is my Scorecard as of today.

What will happen to it after Dec. 5.?

I am in level 96 now.
I have got the "I have become death" quest. In between I am doing events.

Still a lot to learn.

It will reset back to 0.

Dammit Wigean! Nice job completing the board. I've never done so and won't this season either.

I didn't even log in yesterday. I do want to try that Pepper Shaker though. Like a gatling shotgun I think, rotating barrel? I want to take that in to some big factory or whatever like West Tek and see how it does. Default card damage says 9x8 I think, and that's without any shotgun perks in the build. The issue would be swapping out commando cards for shotgunner and back again when I want to swap weapons. No room in the build to run both at the same time I don't think. I'll have a look.

I've collected a hell of a lot of all the ammunition I don't use and have a few thousand shotgun shells I reckon. Might be time to burn through some of it. Maybe this would be a good weapon at an event like Moonshine. I could swap the build, go to the event, and return to camp to swap builds again.

Depends on which mod you install. I believe there is a single barrel, twin barrel and quad barrel mod available. If I remember correctly one of the bot vendors at Whitespring has a lot of the mods for the pepper shaker.

This one has four barrels. And automatic.

Ok so you already have the best one! I used a quad pepper shaker for a while but eventually dumped it because my gauss shotgun puts out a LOT more damage and is much more accurate. I don't really need more than one shotgun either.

I found a plasma Gatling I used to kill the big dragon birds.

Tried it in the Moonshine Cabaret as well.

Problem is collateral damage if there are many participants.

That is if you care about it.

I do of course.

Hey, can I just re-roll my daily and weekly challenges? Have not done so, but yeah.

So let's say I have six weekly challenges done and I re-roll. Do I get a full slate of new ones? Could I do the ones that I can do and then re-roll again within the same week and get another new slate? In this way I could hit rank 98 and get those coins.

Or does it work another way?

No, you can't double-dip. You can only re-roll a challenge that you haven't completed yet.

It's useful if it's one you know you can't complete, or just don't want to. It'll then randomly assign a new one.

Yes, thanks. I had hoped I could keep completing and rolling new weekly boards so that I could complete three in one week or something.

I did manage to reach rank 92 last night. That gives scrip, and 1st members get three perk packs, so that's 24 coins if I don't want to keep any of the cards. I won't complete this scoreboard, but it's the farthest I've gotten by some margin.

I talk a lot about farming lead to keep ammo supplies going and a few good places to grab some. One good spot that is close to normal rounds for most players is the townhouses at Whitespring. There's one townhouse that has a Christmas tree in it, and probably a ghoul or two. That room with the Christmas tree has toy blocks, toy cars, a baby rattle Since I am near here so often, heading to the mall, and I have one of my camp locations here, I hit this spot as often as possible. There are baby carriages spread around the area and these can have toys and rattles, plus tin cans, combination wrenches and pencils spread around. So a sweep through here can net some good lead scraps for those of us crafting ammunition. This is just one spot of many around the map, but we all stop here a lot I reckon and the fast travel's free.

I am doing OK with ammo now.

I go to the monorail just north of Lucky North mine and collect lead. Plenty there when all is reset.

I have placed my survival tent just below so I can scrap the lead there.

I also go to Charleston Fire dept.

I just collected 640 lgs of lead manuals there.

Rusty Pick is just a couple of hundred metrs away so I scrap the lead there. And at the same time make some ammo.
