Ammunition is a lot more scarce in Fallout 76 than in past games. Keep that melee weapon favorited and ready at all times.Furthermore, when bringing up the Pip-Boy, toggle it to the overlay (the View button/touchpad on console controllers) so that you can continue to see the world around you while navigating the menus.įallout 76 guide to leveling, SPECIAL and Perk Cards
Any other weapons should be assigned to the weapons wheel, not favorited. When you’re surprised by enemies, one or two taps left on the D-pad will give you the emergency weapon you need (and tapping right will use a Stimpak). So you should always have a melee weapon favorited, and a firearm with a lot of ammo helps too. You can still be attacked while you’re hunting for an item in a menu, for instance.
After creating a character, players leave Vault 76 and may go anywhere.
