PlaySlough87: Can we get stable flux added to the boss loot!?

SirPream: The infestation should start with some kind of horde mode - have mobs with the legendary minions pop up in waves (like Halo Firefight) with the last wave having the main boss. Also re-enable the legendary drops!

exit57: I have seen at least a dozen infestations instantly complete themselves. Both notifications are on the screen at the same time

scottshep8978: Look i do not mind a tough boss.But there is a difference a tough boss and a a bullet sponge.Tone down the sponge but in turn the players have to kill so many of the followers to get the attention of the boss. This gives players two things.Gives them time to get to the infestation and it tones down the sponge of the boss.

In my opinion if they want to keep it the way it is now they need to increase the rewards by a lot more.More bullets found and everything else.This includes the chance to learn and/or get the 4 star mods.But they will not do that.

rickynolen8882: I just came from the PTS and I can tell you it's still a bullet sponge as well as the minions that runs with them, I'm level 1350 with a good build running Vulcan Armor and their one shooting me pretty quick, even at range their shot placement is a lot better than it should be for NPCs, if it releases into the main game like this it will just run long time players like me to other games, I believe in having it challenging but not dang near imposable, they need to dial it back more.

b1orogue: It's funny how he mentions they need to find a way for players to go after the minions and not just the boss. We WERE doing that until this last update that took all the legendaries away. Bethesda is truly this dense. Why aren't players doing our infestations? Because all the legendaries are gone except the boss and the boss, it took me 2000 rounds and the dude wasn't even down to half! And that was with three other players!

Medieval_Dead: The fact that we are this deep into the update and Infestations are seemingly nowhere near what they need to be shows Jon Rush has no business leading this game. It has gone nowhere but downhill since he took over in 2024.

greenhornet3671: Give the legendaries back to the minions no idea why they removed them in the first instance, I would like that geezer to explain why they removed them

Husk_Kel: The loot doesn't match the difficulty of infestations removing legendary loot from the enemies has become not worth playing

STOVL_FPV: Personal Opinion - I think the infestation boss should be like seismic activity where he doesn't take damage until the crystals but instead of crystals use low level waves of enemies. This gives players to join, slows down the event, and if you lower the damage to a bigfoot level, then it would be more enjoyable.

Vie-44946: So! Whoever you are...builder, mid maxer, role player, pvp'er, brand new to 76 or a veteran etc.... What do we all want? Simply 4 star mods! I feel that if we were required to tag the boss a few times and then received a 4 star mod by itself. To use, sell or scrap it, regardless of the difficulty of said boss...... It would be difficult to choose NOT to join an infestation. I love all the other ideas of having a timer to get there and having to kill some enemies before the boss gets there! But if the only good reward is a 1% chance to receive or learn a 4 star mod, its difficult to stop whatever you were doing and join an infestation. So, make it hard but also make it rewarding!

habinations: the question is when will this be fixed.

i had a 1 shot boss today we all died .me level 750 and some others over 1 and 2 k

there were about 10 of us doing it at one point.

then i got mad and pushed him into a corner and danced in his face .

i can tell by the changes made yesterday they dont want me doing that.

too bad so sad.

and yes they made changes already ,worse changes .

1 shot changes .yes i noticed .

i do so many even the slightest change i notice .

so john rush is the name ...i wonder what would happen if i email his boss and tell her that hes a noob and doesnt seem to know f all and perhaps shouldnt be running the ship ,aground .

he acts like his position is safe .perhaps if it wasnt they wouldnt make so many mistakes nd get it right the first time ,so its the only time .

final fantasy 11 has a team of 7 people star trek online has less than that.

why do they no make stupid miatakes ?

hubris by the lead dev imho .

sorry.

hes in charge ,hes to blame .

thats thow it works sorry again.

hughejasse1: The infestations are starting to have issues. Had one yesterday at the ski resort and a bunch of us were running around and no boss could be located. Had one start at Summersville Docks with a regular level 50 Scorched as the boss that I one shotted and it completed; no loot dropped. Plus had a few start and clear almost instantly which was off. BGS just needs to dial back the HP pool for the boss, add back in legendaries, and hopefully more players will run them; I've been seeing more players at head hunts than infestations tbh.

spicytunarolls777: Infestation pop up. Run into the zone and see an assaultron boss. Walk away. Dang things be as strong as 5 bigfoots put together

cmd062: I've commented in multiple places you should have to defeat the minions before the boss spawns and that would give players the time to join in. As it stands now infestations are not worth the time and ammo as the minions give you nothing and the bosses are overpowered and all you get is a 4 star and a mystery bobblehead/magazine, thats not worth 5k-10k of 5mm or 10-20 minutes of my time.

dirtydisko: The problem with infestations is nobody really ask for them and now it has become all about how much fire power you have ,mods etc.; they forgot about the fun the way the game used to be and has become a grind and not everyone has time for your grind, no story no love with content in the atomic shop but reskinned item's and the lack of effort when it comes down to it is sad, half of the shelters have really bad lighting witch they choose to ignore and considering the atomic shop items are the cash cow for Bethesda you would think that they would show more love to the people that are lining their pockets with real dollars rather than the focus on infestations.

markjess1138: The Dev team came up with a 3 minute idea to make the bosses beefier. This was a month and a half in the making.......let's stop sugar coating the topic and just call it "Pathetic". The fact players on the test server said it was wayyy too Rediculous. But instead of an actual quality change, we consistently get band-aid garbage with new issues. Stop promoting nonsense, it doesn't look good on ya my dude!

Kid47483: After the recent update, I get server message that Infestation has been discovered and has been completed simultaneously.

infinitywulf: I think the best idea I've heard from them is the do a few waves of minions before the boss comes out for the invasions. They really need to put some of the legendary drops back for the minions though, at first if you could find an infestation that wasn't auto completed by someone you could get a massive amount of drops, which was awesome for trying to learn legendary mods. As it is the boss for the infestation isn't really worth going after, you waste so much ammo even with a bunch of folks there and you only get like 3~4 legendary drops outside the boss even if you are killing all the minions as well.

pbwizard1969: Or lower the difficulty on private servers because there are alot of us who enjoy playing by ourselves on private servers. As it is now there is no reason to even attempt them it just isn't worth it.

LenaKayDALY: Fallout is becoming a joke...

We need to be able to get the mods that are literally impossible to get... I hate that I cant do builds because of not being able to get mods. When you run out of ammo fighting all these bullet sponges and get no rewards its becomes a waste of time and boring.

HendarsChannel: Honestly throughout the years they have listened a lot so props to the team and I hope they can find a solution that will make everyone happy.

unloyal4847: The hp feels like it just needs to be taken half and yeah waves would be amazing.

tyekellyful: The loot should be as good as raids if not better for how ammo consuming it is & how long they take. & Give us some repair kits it's ridiculous when the assaultron boss spams Tesla cannons outta both arms shattering multiple pieces of armor on top of several weapons also breaking during the fight like 5 or 6 improved repair kits were used .. that's wild with little in return.

hankdedalus: How about they up the AI smarts by like 50% that would make it where they don't have to bullet sponge the HP has much do to the enemies using cover more or other things that would make the event more then just "shoot it till it dies."

ConnieMassie56: I'm just an average player. Not end game, not a min-maxer. Infestations in there current state are not fun for me, and I just ignore them. They are not worth the trouble or the rewards. However, I like the idea of fighting waves of mobs before having the main boss pop-up.

Kerran32: Damage output is not a problem, it's the tankiness sponge ability the bosses have. It's not "fun" to spend thousands of rounds for mediocre rewards. It's also not player fault that the boss is a bullet sponge. I found the infestation bosses originally before huge boss buff, they were tough but doable. All they needed to do was implement the wave or initial timer system. But they went for the easiest option, which ironically was the worst. Players do complain a lot, in general rather than specifically which must be annoying to read. I have no problem if the boss 1 or 2 shots me, but the ratio of damage and HP is ridiculous. Bullet sponge solution is something first time game devs do, and usually realise their mistake soon after. Having this thrown in our face by a long time game dev just makes it even worse.
