elgenius7536: They’re just ammo dumps with minimal rewards. I don’t even bother with them anymore. They used to be fun

Blade-UK: Just to add, I had an inf boss with cloaked ability, it would not decloak but was able to keep firing while cloaked so you cannot VATS the boss. I asked on their discord and someone said it was a bug.

spaman1776: I genuinely don't understand the mindset of people defending the bullet sponge mechanics. They are not fun at all, its just wasting time for no reward

kharjothekhajiit1669: 4:28 Just imagine if you turned the infestation notification off and you decided to fast travel somewhere only to find yourself right in the middle of one.

Dyslogy707: Lightly lowered hp. Now it takes 49999 bullets instesd of 50000. Hope this helps

With love,

groucho44u: I’ve been playing all 8 years the game has gotten better but there’s no high level players anymore like a year ago or so….so there’s no high level players to buy anything good from too….I’m retired and in my 70s been gaming since early 90s…I mostly play for therapy so nerf,add,change I don’t care keeps me using my brain …..so have fun and game on

Kastor774: Man, yesterday I came into a server with like three active infestations. Had to quit one to go to Fasnacht, it still was there afterwards (but the boss reset the hp, so even less reason to waste ammo)

Earlier in the day, I cleared one with literally just one other player because the boss was strangely passive, but it still took me over 2k plasma cartridges.

All that for the four star be satiated or something.

EmAyyyych: Didn't notice a difference

Oldenfox64: Check this out DTD and comment section yesterday I was on a public server and encountered an infestation boss ( Super Mutant Primus) 10 of us couldn`t put it down we all just gave up lol this nerf needs to come soon.

BubbleOfDoom22: They don't need to nerf all of the bosses, just the freakin' near impossible to kill assaultrons. Those things have ten billion health, no weak spots, and insta-kill just about everyone in a three mile radius.

rickymherbert2899: Well those Assaultrons are still fecking over powered. Found one at the Palace of the Winding Path this afternoon. Took three of us nearly half an hour to take it out. Nearly ran out of arrows. Also had a few players join then just give up and leave. Same server before I left had two active Infestations with no-one bothering to investigate them.

fraudulentppl: Bullet sponge understated the robot is insane

jimmywr32: Another Great Video, thank you,

Zancers: Constantly wasting dev time on reworking a failure of a update instead of just scrapping it all together... I remember seeing hundreds of complaints before it came out from people on the discord pts section and it fell on deaf ears and now since its out and the outcry is so huge they have to fix it wasting dev time and resources when they could of just listened in the first place...

RyanHreha: The ONLY reason to do infestation is to get 4 star stuff because not everyone wants to run gleaming depths. The should have left the guardian be. Who cares if players were farming it. Obviously they rest of the raid isn't worthwhile.

Foxy_Bro420: This is my first fasnacht so I've been leaving infestations and it's paid off, got a glowing abe, captain, and veggie man so far

GingerJ73: Need guaranteed 4* mod boxes to drop as rewards. A 4* bit of equipment with 0.001% or whatever chance of a mod or learning a mod is just not worth the ammo cost especially now the mobs dont drop anything of value either. Basically Bethesda ruined it!

crazydiamond1032: The difficulty would be fine if they dropped something worthwhile. A junk item with a mediocre or junk 4 star is rubbish. Also, learning a 4 star mod is near impossible, which also made it not worth the resources.

LandruTheBody: Some people complain because the game isn't insanely difficult. These are typically the same people who want survival back and nuclear winter back and PvP. The game has moved on from that stuff. It ain't coming back. If you want survival and PvP, there are other games out there that do it better than FO76 ever did.

I want Infestations to be challenging but not just an ammo dump. I also would like to have Infestations realistically completable solo, if I want to do them alone in a private server. Before Bethesda overcorrected on the boss HP, solo infestations were just that, doable but still a challenge.

lbaker3602001: Reduced the amount of dam. resistance of Bosses form ONE MILLION to 999,999.9

collincutler4992: Wish we could turn them off altogether. I was grinding Supply drops the other day and it kept dropping them into an infestation area. I could fast travel out of there because I was surrounded.

clugzo: Yeah they have changed "alittle" , they just need to fire more people and then they would have a somewhat functional studio .

NCRveteran34: I messed up, I got a bit to excited with minerva, and I only have like 2k gold left, I was supposed to be saving for the brotherhood recon armor, and I have no idea when it’s coming

RichardSanchez-123: Yesterday I found an infestation boss and a group of us unloaded on it for like 25mins for only 1/4 health drop if that… I just eventually left wasting ammo and grenades by that point lol not worth it

senorCoy: Done 4 infestations today. I can't tell a difference in the boss health but i did get more legendaries

rickylegendesq.514: I wish the infestations had more of the minions that kept coming. There's only like 20 of them and they're all right around the same difficulty. Not exactly an infestation. Have some lieutenant types amongst the regular foot soldiers and increase the number of those to like 50 and a respawn if the boss last longer than like 3 minutes or something like that.

ashleyreynolds8443: After doing a few infestations after the update I'd say they've done nothing
