I'm confused. Mutated events are popular, with most or all of the server showing up, even for Lode Bearing. Why only two weeks of them on the roadmap? "Hey, we have a proven winner here. Let's not do that again." Grumble, boo, hiss, etc, etc.

Is there any limit/quota per day to trade Gold into Lunch Boxes? Everytime I exit conversation at Samuel I can buy again and again..

What do you need to do a fast XP grinding , say in westek.

Is there a list of things you need like certain food, perks etc.? Where can I find that list?

I’ve been on and off playing for almost a year (lvl 155) in Adventure and didn’t understand what exactly was entailed by having pacifist mode on or off so I had it off until the other day when building a new camp after having to move it. (Was gonna redecorate soon enough anyway so the free camp placement helped me go ahead with it)

Someone (lvl 101, likely an alt acc) started attacking on me on my camp by pressing alt while I was putting stuff in my vending machine. I thought it was a scorched at first. They basically killed me in one hit with some plasma gun once I turned around, so I respawn and they kill me again in one hit ? I didn’t even have the chance to pull out my weapon (pressing R) when they killed me both times. I went to whitespring the second time until they left my camp. When I went back, all the stuff I just built was destroyed except one lamp so I had to repair everything. I have an abundance of scraps so that doesn’t really matter.

I wasn’t Wanted for anything so I was confused until I heard from a friend that this was probably a glitch the player took advantage of since I had been online less than 5 minutes. I had only went from Whitespring to Hemlock to start off a quest then to my camp to finish the daily/weekly camp tasks

So was having pacifist mode on* what caused this player to be able to just approach me and shoot me dead? I thought it was only possible if I was Wanted

I’m not looking to grief or complain, just trying to understand more about how that works/how that happened

If it is indeed a bug, how do I report it to Bethesda? I didn’t think to do it in game at the time, I just hit ignore. It’s the first time I’ve ran into this kinda thing. Should I unignore them so that I can report next time I see them in the server? I’ve seen them in the same server as me many times before but we’ve never had any issues until now

* I meant to say off, not on

1. I'll start with short barrels, there's currently no reason to use them. Take the sawed-off double-barrel shotgun, for example. I’d love to run that thing, but what’s the benefit (looking cool isn't enough lol)? Lower AP usage? That actually makes me deal less damage because of Number Cruncher

Shorter barrels should increase the damage, by a ton. Is it realistic? Not in the slightest, but it would give people a reason to, at least, consider using them. Do you want more damage? You gotta deal with the shit range. That'd be a fair trade-off

2. Semi-auto versions of weapons like the combat rifle or the handmade rifle should also deal (way) more damage than their full-auto counterparts. They already tried to address this in the past (full-auto receivers reduce the crit damage for example), but it still isn't enough

When I played Starfield when it launched I was surprised by how well they handled this in that game: semi-auto receivers dealt almost twice the damage, as they should. Maybe doubling the damage is a bit too much, but something like a 50% increase shouldn’t be too unreasonable to expect, right?

3. Maybe this isn't exactly an issue and it's more of a me problem, but every time I try to run a rifle build I end up going stealth. 100% of the time. Maybe there actually is an issue lol. When pretty much everyone using those weapons ends up running a stealth build, maybe there is actually a problem

There’s simply no reason not to take advantage of sneak damage when it’s so easy to get. As I said, maybe there's no issue here at all, but I genuinely feel forced to use stealth when running these weapons, and it shouldn't? Idk

I honestly don't know what the "fix" for this would be either. Maybe a perk that converts part of the sneak damage multiplier into regular damage, and maybe limit it to small guns only (so big guns don't get a free damage perk)?

I have 36 agility (15 for perks) with Sneak, Escape Artist, and a full set of Secret Agent armor.

I have suppressors on my guns but one does Fracture’s on it

Even with all that I get DANGER nearly every event and cannot for the life of me become HIDDEN or even CAUTIOUS until the event is over.
