- Fallout 76 - Why The Level 20 Start Is Your Best Option
With the most recent update, new characters have the option to start at level 20 with one of five premade loadouts. I'll talk about why the level 20 start is the optimal choice.

Some of the information I give about the backpack in this video is incorrect. The plan you start with is just a skin. You still need either the small backpack plan or regular backpack plan to craft another backpack to which you can apply the skin. The small backpack plan has been moved from the Overseer's cache at the airport to the Overseer's cache at her camp near the Wayward. The regular backpack is still available for completing the Tadpole questline.
For some reason the shotgunner starts with a shotgun that has longer range than normal. With a long barrel it has 120 range.
Interesting, for sure. It's actually worthwhile to start at 20 and skip all the drudgery. This was not true before.
To get mods for the shotgun go to Morgan town airport and farm the scorched there. You’ll get tons of shells and pumps that you can scrap
Interesting video! I wouldn't have expected so many benefits to the level 20 start. The combat rifle plan is also a good choice imo since the only guaranteed drop of it comes from a side quest. I like the changes they made to starting gear and resource junk this patch.
Thanks for all the info on these loadouts😊
Thanks for watching!
It is literally the same backpack as before. What's new and what that plan is, is just a skin. The actual plan for the small backpack is at the overseer's camp at the wayward.
I hope the new players coming to the game (cuz of the show) watch videos like this so they can have decent starts.
It was very different when most of us veterans started, I don’t remember getting a weapon but the pipe pistol on the responder corpse and a machete from the survivors looking to get the treasure from the vault.
I played fallout 4 when it came out, I was 15 at the time and loved the game because where I come from, civilisation is behind so playing offline games were the only thing to do, also we couldn't even buy the game in our country, needed to ask family members overseas to send it. Fallout 76 came out and I heard the reviews and the game was crap, watched the show and definitely wanted to see what was happening with fallout 76. And it turns out to have gotten better, but I had never tried it, so fun to play after watching the show
@@CkI682 Fallout 76 has dramatically improved since I first started playing 4 years ago, when Wastelanders came out, which introduced human NPCs to the game. That eliminated one of the major complaints that players had.
Fallout 76 is not perfect, it has flaws, and I’m ok with them and I enjoy it. I hope you will too.
With that I might start the game from scratch again perfect time for someone to get into the game
Nice, thatnks for the explainer! I've got a former level 5ish mule and have been debating deleting and trying the level 20 start. It'll be my PA revolver build. I think I'll go for the extra perks so i can level electric absorbtion sooner.
Thanks for watching!
I personally wouldn't delete it unless you've used up all your character slots. Now that I have a few characters under my belt, I find my stash is much easier to manage when I'm not trying to use every type of weapon on the same character. One character does rifles, one is melee, one is PA and heavy guns, etc... Trying to have a bunch of different weapon types on one character can really weigh you down.
@@Lordoftheapes79 I have three accounts, one has four mules and there are ten active characters..this is my last open slot 😂
I've been leveling and rearranging the mules for the past month or so to free this spot up.
But otherwise I completely agree with you. I build new characters pretty regularly just to try out different weapons and armor sets that would otherwise have been discarded as scrip if I didn't have the mules.
@@willblake72 you sir, have a problem.
@@Lordoftheapes79 yeah buddy, I'm outta character slots
Glad to see you got the video done! :)
Hope you're feeling a bit more rested than last night xD
Nope.
@@wiggle_plays ugh... hope you can get some rest today/tonight... I was awake till 2pm after the stream and then when I thought...I'll get up in a few minutes passed out till 7pm xD
i guess ammo is just way easier to get now. heck not even 5 minutes i got 2k worth of shotgun shells.
Lol... Alot has changed since I remember leaving the Vault. I thought I left the Vault with hardly anything. I thought I only had a 10mm, a few rounds, and a few stims.
Very much so. They just keep giving the starting character more and more.
Newer player, but one thing I think you also lose starting at level 20 is selecting perks you want as you level up. Some of the perks it auto gives you you might not have taken but you will have to use up future level perk selections to get them.
Perk selection after level 20 is the same whether you start at level 2 or 20.
You're both right imo. Once you see how the progression actually works, it will make more sense, but I also think this boosted start should be reserved for alts. Your first time should be without the boost.
@@wiggle_plays This i know, but i am talking about picking the perks from level 3-20. When starting at level 20, it picks those perks for you, you don't get to go back and change them.
You can keep leveling forever. Perks can be replaced and scrapped. Once you scrap a perk, you get perk coins which are used to rank up legendary perks.
I understand that, I want to make a heavy weapons character
You’re really not missing anything by boosting to level 20. Having a level 20 kit will make the early steps so much less tedious.
Do you get guns at certain levels? Like when you level up? Or is it mission based?
The nice QOL changes they did with Atlantic City definitely make it much better for the newer players. Good on Bethesda for doing this.
I'm going to make a new shotgunner character now just for the plan lol. My full health character is missing that plan, and this makes it super easy on me. Great change, but not for the reason Bethesda planned.
As a brand new player to 76 I just had to do a start run. I find it odd if you are brand new and you just start at twenty. Probably not bad if you make a different character tho
Good choice. Even though level 20 is the most optimal, I think level 2 is the best experience for a new player.
I've got to say that so far the level 20 start is somehow more challenging than the old way. Being level 20 with zero legendary armor and without having learned mods has been an interesting twist for a pistol build. AP is at a premium even with all the Agility the pistol build gives you, everything sees me since I have no shadowed mods, the western revolver is useless in VATS even with the 3* concentrated fire, and I have none of the pile of colas I'd normally rely on to survive at this point. I can imagine a lot of new players really struggling if they wander out of the forest early on.
Yep. This has been my assertion since it first showed up on the PTS. I think it's bad to be labeled as "Best Choice". It's a much more challenging start than level 2. If the goal is to make things easier for new players, I think it fails miserably.
@@wiggle_plays yeah You were spot on about it. I also noticed that a lot of the cards I got in early perks packs were duplicates of stuff I started with, which makes sense I guess since they're somewhat level dependent.
I think it's a good idea in general but needs some rework. Anyway I just crafted myself some robot armor and an alien blaster so I'm just gonna lite roleplay this character for a while and see what happens.
I did the level 20 start, and wanted to dive into the Brotherhood quests. It looks like starting at level 20 skips a whole bunch of the Brotherhood quests; I have completed all Steel Dawn quests without actually doing any of them so it started me off with Steel Reign. That kinda sucks, I wanted to do all of the brotherhood quests and not miss any content.
No quests are skipped by starting at level 20. It just gives you access to more quests sooner.
Level 20 start do you miss out on any story?
Nope.
yeah in total points its worth it,and you get good cards,and have a 10 point bonus.
but your special attributes are fixed,as are your cards.
leveling to 20 yourself,allows you to spend special points yourself.
and you get random cards right?,so you'll have different cards.
(micro purchase cards...)
would be better if they just gave you the same equipment.
20 random card packs,and 20 special points.
ty sir!
The first 20 levels are the Most Challenging of the game... If you skip the first 20 levels; You miss part of the grind that makes you appreciate the higher levels.
I don't think that's true anymore. You come out of the vault so geared up at level 2 that things are considerably easier than they used to be. I actually found the level 20 starts to be more challenging when I played them on the PTS.
So you honestly think that coming out the vault with a machete and/or low level pistol, compares to level 20 weapons and armor? You could easily run and get a handmade or fixer, ect.
Yes, because enemies scale to you. Low level weapons and armor vs low level enemies is a lot more effective than level 20 gear against level 20 enemies. This assumes you are sticking to areas appropriate to your level. If you go from the vault to the Cranberry Bog, that's another story.
> "The first 20 levels are the Most Challenging of the game... If you skip the first 20 levels; You miss part of the grind that makes you appreciate the higher levels."
??? This is nonsense. The most challenging part of the game is the midlevels around 35-to-48 where enemies become bullet sponges and your perks aren't optimized.
And the game still scales. You'll still have difficulty with the new start.
Ah yes, i love starting my video games at Level 2, cuz that makes fucking sense. Ive played nearly every MMO on the Market And this is the worst one by far. ALL of the main quests you have to do SOLO?!?! thought this was a multiplayer game??
Grow a pair and stop getting carried
Just do it at the same time as ypur friends
Someone who chooses the 2 level, is 0 Intelligence change my mind. Lol
This totally cheapens the play. All that stuff starting out with.
I dont understand this video. Your title says "why the level 20 start is your best option", but then in the comments you shit all over it by saying its MUCH more difficult to start as a lvl 20 than a lvl 2. Like...wtf? Make up your mind.
More difficult doesn't equal worse. Saying something is more difficult does not equal shitting all over it.
