Friendly Fire

- OH, you seen that level 500 in kick ass power armor coming up to you? Don't worry, he's actually trying to give you a whole bunch of cool stuff. Helping low levels is just what we do around Appalachia.
- Those higher-level players chasing you down like a madman? They probably have weapons, armor, plans, stimpaks, purified water and all things needed to get you started and survive a molerat attack! Give ‘em a chance and say hi!
- Join the Public Team - it'll get you more XP and no one cares if you do.
- Join casual teams! There's no expectation that you'll adventure together and, as a bonus you, gain more XP AND can fast travel to your teammate's C.A.M.P.s!
Resource-full

- Grab literally everything early game. Most things can be broken down for materials and/or recipes, so it’s worth getting as many components as you can. Before placing your materials in your Stash, remember to hit up any crafting station and utilize the “Scrap All Junk” feature.
- Leave no containers unlooted! That extra bobby pin may come in handy down the line.
- Finding a spot with a junk pile early on for your C.A.M.P. can be super beneficial. I can't tell you how many times early on I ran out of adhesive or screws for some to luckily be in the junk extractor!
Prime Real Estate

- Camp McClintock is a good place to set up a first C.A.M.P., it’s good to farm for stuff early on and the Mister Gutsys keep it pretty safe.
- Check C.A.M.P. vendors, a lot of people sell plans super cheap. If the prices are super high, most likely you can find someone else selling the same plan for way less.
- For newer players, check the donation boxes! Higher level players will often leave useful items, weapons and armor in them! The ones outside of Vault 76 and Whitespring Station are particular hotspots.
- Use player C.A.M.P.s as fast-travel markers to save yourself long journeys on foot.
- Building a farm in your C.A.M.P. is a convenient source of caps (and adhesive via corn, and mutfruit, and ‘tatos). You can also use water purifiers to farm caps.
- Check your "Notes" section for Plans! Plans can be found in the world, bought from vendors or rewarded for Events/Quests.
Armed and Ready

- Always carry a backup melee weapon when you're a lower level player - it's Murphy's Law that your gun will run out of ammo or break at the worst moment.
- Holding the reload button will holster your weapon, allowing you to move faster.
- You can tap the reload button with a fully loaded weapon to cause the ammo/grenade count to reappear before fading back out again.
- Always check your ammo for missiles/mini nukes - they weigh a ton and will over encumber you fast. And fusion cores! (Their weight can add up.)
The Perks of Fallout 76

- Traveling Pharmacy is a good Perk for weight. Stimpaks weigh a bunch, especially the super ones.
- Thru-Hiker under Agility can save a ton of weight from water/alcohol/food.
- Unless you have literally nothing better to use, do not equip lockpicking/hacking cards as part of your regular build. Swap them out as and when you need them. This is the beauty of the perk cards system, learn to love it.
- Don't sell Perk cards that you don't want right away. You won't be able to use the coins for a while, and you can switch your build up on the fly. Give yourself options.
- Concentrated Fire is the Perk card that lets you use the V.A.T.S. you know from the SP games. Otherwise you cannot target individual body parts.
- A useful thing to have would be the Super Duper Perk card. Whenever you craft something, there is a 10%/20%/30% chance of getting double the results--Really helps if you're crafting weapons for attachments or creating ammo/consumables.
It’s a Party

- Join a group and go to events. Even if you die a lot, you will soak up exp, and stems and useful gear.
- If you see a lot of players at a public event on the map, don't be afraid to join because you're lower level. The more, the merrier!
- If you're at a public event and it has a countdown timer on it, don't start it when you're by yourself, unless you can complete it by yourself.
- If you're at the end of an event and you see a bunch of dropped loot, don't be afraid to take it. They didn't want it.
- Joining an event will fast travel you to the area for free!
Food for Thought

- Ranger towers are scattered throughout the map. Climbing to the top of one of these towers allows you to “Survey” the area, which adds points to your map that you can explore. It’s also just a pretty view.
- If there is a punch bowl in someone's C.A.M.P., drink from it immediately and without question.
- You can get XP shooting the balloons during the Fasnacht Event.
- There is a perfectly preserved pie on the roof of West Tek.
- Don’t dismiss the “Quickboy” option. It makes the regular Pip-Boy display in front of you as a floating window in a similar manner to the power armor Pip-Boy display.
- Hunting animals for meat to cook is one of the more convenient sources of healing, if you're low on stimpaks.
