I'm a relatively new bow user and remembered there was this quiver backpack I missed out time ago.

I was kinda sad about it cause I've been having a blast using my bow and thought it'd look great as a backpack... Until I just saw another player wearing it, and I was truly disappointed.

How did that happen, it's awfully bad designed with all the clipping and such... It could have been the perfect backpack for bow users...

I see lots of posts around builds and people recommending Lucky Hit on the bow, why is that? And what sets it appart from other 3 stars to be the preference? And also, is there a scenario I wouldn't want Lucky Hit?

I can't seem to find definitive answers for this and want to know why I'd have that on my bow, just trying to understand all my mods and why they're there and what theyre doing for me

Is this allrigth for a low health human? Is something missing? I have something that dosent work? Thx in advance guys!

And the mosquito 3 stars

And armor is unyeldin, int and 3-4 stars randoms stuff (just got 1 ranger so far)

I've had a few bows and I'm giving them a trial. My problem is that I've looked up builds but all of them have every SPECIAL legendary card maxed out but I don't. I'm level 381 and I don't. If anyone can show me or find a build that doesn't involve the special legendary cards. I'm not looking to min/max or anything but I'm not able to max the special cards yet.

Lately it feels like Hat Trick isn't going off as much as it did when it was first introduced. Have they changed something? Are there any perk cards that stop it working?

I am on PC and have a long way to go before I get the rep to be able to buy the plans. Would be really appreciated!

Currently using Burning Love but I bought a Furious mod from a player’s vendor for just 750 caps and would like to start reverse onslaught.
Thanks!

I started last week and have been playing with just whatever weapons I’ve been getting, I got a Two-Shot level 45 10mm pistol that I have been mostly using.

Yesterday I did an event and it gave me a really good bow, Burning Love, and I’ve been using it ever since. I went from level 60ish to 82 with just that bow.

I don’t have any mods for the arrows, I can only do standard arrows. But even with standard arrows, using a camouflage armor piece, sneak, and a few bow perks, I am doing so so much more damage now, it's so much more fun than the pistol/random weapons I'd been using up to this point!!

How do I make the specialty arrows, like cryo or plasma arrows for example? Want to try those since I see there are perks to make that type of damage better.

Edit to add: I am on PC

UPDATE -- Thanks all for the tips, I finally found a Scavenger Trader with all the Plans for the various arrow mods. Took all day but at least it's done!! They were 1500 caps each, so now I'm basically broke lol.

Unyielding vs Nocturnal, opinions? So whats your opinion on these two I know Nocturnal dose give more Agility as anyone ran both?

Hey, was wondering if anyone could buy me plans for the Compound Bow on PC? Will give caps back, name is UnrobedMantella thanks!

So how do you deal with them?

I try to wait until their reflection is off but loose an arrow when I see that, and boom, dead.

What tactics should be used?

Also tried from a distance but seems tricksy.

And what's with DANGER appearing as soon as I spawn in - crouched and stealthy 😅

Hey everyone! I love getting into events and seeing other bow users. It always makes me wonder if they are part of this club. I noticed that the Women of the Wasteland always have WOTW on their camps. Do you all have something you put on your camps to indicate to others? Or should we start something?!

Finally able to make a full set of Covert Scout Armor for the sneak benefit but…

After applying Polymer mods, it’s 28 DR for limbs, the same as Solar.

I do public events often, which sneak is often negated. Also bows with Hat Trick are mob clearers even in events so additional sneak damage doesn’t really count.

Is there any reason to invest more caps for polymer mods on Covert Scout Armor if the DR is the same for Solar which has an innate healing effect?

I have broken my bow/small arms build. It's a stealthy furious, at lvl 390. Nothing works anymore. Went from 1500-2500 a shot to 150. My guns have been shooting double digits. No idea why. Can someone with knowledge of game mechanics help me fix and dial it in please?

Anyone willing to sell me a Pinpointers mod? I haven’t been able to find one to buy. I have caps, things to trade, and legendary modules. I don’t have formula p yet. I haven’t done the raid yet, but wanting too. Speaking of, does anyone wanna do the raid? I am level 450, play on pc.
