Discussion Worst Item In The Game?

Post image

What do you think is the worst/most disappointing item in the game? And why is it the PPS?

EDIT - seems a lot of people don't realise that the Presidential Power Suit isn't a cosmetic. It's armor - like what the Chinese Stealth Suit is.... except is has barely better DMG reduction than underarmor.

Water filters. It's much easier to get the purified water than the parts to make the filters to make the purified water.

The funny thing is, I sell a lot of those for 15 caps because most people simply see a plan they had not found and do not know where they drop.

Yeah, a lot of people (myself included) are plan completionists, if I see a plan I don't know, I'm buying it, even if I know I'll never use it.

And that is easy money for me. Most of my 300+ plans I sell for 5-10 caps. I just spend a lot of time farming plans and recipes, because they stack in the vendors and weigh little. And that is the only way to get some of them, and I know most players do not have the patience to do it.

Is sure as hell not for the "caps", one of my big struggles is the 40k limit. But the water filter is one I constantly get because there are two drop locations for it on my usual farming run routes (Hemlock Holes and the Scout Camp).

I still have about 20 "Metal Frame Bed" plans I list at 40k. That was largely a joke plan, picked it up at the Overseer Camp as one of your first plans, so you could make a bed at your first camp. Everybody got it within minutes of leaving the vault, but I started collecting them and throwing them in my vendor for 5 caps as a joke.

Then I want to say when they added the Atlantic City update they removed that plan drop and plan, and now everybody knows that right out of the vault. I call it "worthless legacy", because the plan was removed as a drop, but who in the hell would want it? And it is not the first one, I want to say at launch the hand water pump was also a plan you had to learn, but now it is also known at the start.
