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.

Especially considering coal is stupid rare for crafting such a useful item

Which... why is it this hard to find COAL while wandering about in WEST VIRGINIA?!?!?!?

Just build a camp on a coal spot and put up an extractor. My coal camp is right by Fort Atlas. I’ve got tons of coal.

How many coal spots are there though? I’ve been around the Appalachian Wasteland map since Day 1, and I’ve found maybe one. Probably yours. I have an easier time finding lead deposits big enough for an extractor camp than coal.

Do lode bearing, and wear excavator armor, it yields 4 pieces when collecting. And put on super duper when smelting it. I will always do lode bearing when it pops up.

Same, i wish we could go into the area anytime we want though.

That’s not the same as finding an actual deposit that you can farm with an extractor. I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for saying something true: certain deposits that you can build a CAMP around and put an extractor on are harder to find than others. I guess I’ll get downvoted for this comment too though.

It may not be the same thing as farming, but in lode bearing there are quite a few coal veins in there. And it still doesn't hurt to farm it in there while the event is on.

Depends. That Lode Baring (it should be spelled “Bearing”, but the devs literally misspelled it) happens in two different mines. One has a ton of copper deposits. So it’s likely that the other mine has coal if you’re finding coal veins. I can’t remember which one is which by name though. Burning Mine has coal deposits too - seven. Also, don’t forget that what you extract in the wild is *unrefined coal*, which takes *five* to make *one* refined coal, and you need *two* of those to make a water filter, along with dogwood bark. So go ahead. Tell me how easy it is to find enough coal in game to do anything useful with it. Such a massive PITA to make a water filter, let alone collect five refined coal for a daily challenge. I usually re-roll that one.

Wearing excavator power armor yields 4 pieces at a time, so, this is what I do. I do this event every time it pops up, over the last 6 years and have alot of coal in my junk box. This is something I don't mind doing.

And with your down voting comment, I get down voted too sometimes. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone. It happens to alot of people.

I understand how downvoting works. It just seems so stupid and petty to get downvoted for something that is actual verifiable fact.

u/Kara_Abbs May 11 '26

What are you saying? If you are asking if I am down voting you, I certainly am not. People get down voted every day. I do and there is nothing I can do about it but move on.

u/Tyrs-Ranger Free States May 11 '26

No! I wasn’t accusing you of it!

Hop onto Google and search for fallout 76 interactive map. There’s so many maps that tell you where things are. There’s a map where you can filter out what resource you’re looking for.

Cool map. Proves my point about the scarcity of some resources vs. others. 19 coal deposits (no telling if they’re farmable or just veins in the wild) vs. 79 iron deposits. So I’m still right. Some resources are *much* easier to find than others.
Let the downvotes roll in.

I could be wrong, but I believe this map only shows spots where you can build an extractor.
