Me, sitting at Level 450+ with the small backpack: "Interesting"

Fuck scout badges, proceeds to get scout badges

Just got mine a week ago, followed this same path. Operation tidy, stings and things, tea time, and campfire tales. To heck with all those silly possum badge challenges, whoever devised that torture needs to be forced to repeatedly accomplish all those tasks for the rest of their life.

I had recently gotten the backpack and gave up on the idea of grinding for the 60 extra capacity mod, until I saw your “smart way” suggestion at the end. Thank you so much!! :)

Am I the only person that actually liked doing these? Only one that kinda made me sigh and gave me trouble was the revive a player in water one cuz I play without friends mostly. But I got lucky during a swarm of suitors event and a low level got gangbanged to death by some land-sushi aka Mirelurks, I chose to sit back and watch until the person died (ik I'm terrible) I revived him, took care of the mob, dropped the him some loot for their troubles helped him finish the rest of the event and left happy af. I forget the players name but damn it death by sushi person if your out there I love you and I wanna have your babies. Hope you're leveling up well.

Ahhh, time to go back and actually complete this on... well, any of my characters, lol. Even the one still around since beta. Thank you for helping make this not so painfully slow! (The photos one was what got me... some weren't counting and I never went back after the 2nd try lol) Also, props to KATAPAN for repping the positive FO76 community. You don't see that kind of interaction/behaviour in other games, and it's a nice thing to know some gamers are still considerate, caring people, rather than just toxic nightmares online. 🙂

"Sprinting past enemies" the ghouls catch up to me while I have speed demon/squad maneuvers. It's mentally stunted on Bethesda's part to allow every single ghoul to be a cross country LEGEND

This is actually super helpful. I just finished getting the tadpole backpack, had no idea there was a chance to get possum badges from doing pioneer dailys!

thanks a lot.. I was getting crazy with those challengers

23 minutes to explain how to get a backpack "easily"

I did not know that those dailies and events had a chance to drop badges good to know

To kill enemies with the weak syringe to get the challenge just shoot the enemies with any gun until they are almost dead then finish them off with the syringe Same with the knife or any other specific weapon kill challenge

This is perfect timing cause I just started yesterday but stopped cause it’s so long

Really great guide 👍 I recently went thru these challenge's again on a alt and the only difference was I got lucky and found the camera early on and did the Mammalogist photo taking one instead of the Athlete/obstacle course. Joining public teams is a awesome tip to get around the map!!

Never realized you got badges from those two events. Thanks for the info. Great content.

You can bash with the syringer and it counts as a syringer death. Ussually more damage than the syringer itself

that is a great guide dude

6/8 for that big backpack just from doing dailies. I've been kinda putting off really focusing on actually doing any of the actual challenges to get any. Gotten the rare campfire tale reward one as well too.

Thx so much for this guide.

i have done these quests 13 times now, in my experience if you have a single friend in the game or just find a nice high level player who understands what you're trying to get just doing stings and things, operation tidy, swimmer, athlete and archer are in my experience the fastest, my best time to date on getting the big backpack is like 150 minutes.

Ran the quest a few days ago and now I'm trying to get the double capacity mod. I hadn't thought about Campfire Tales being part of that!

Great Video!

I did stings and things and operation tidy daily for a week and got 5 possum badges in that 1 week. If you just start doing those 2 dailies i guarantee you'll have the backpack mod in 2 weeks or less. They have a "small" chance at giving a possum badge on completion and i swear it feels like a good 25% chance or so.

There is also roaches in the bunkers just north of the cabin for quick meat

The dailies and events will only drop Possum badges. The tadpole badge isn't referenced from the reward lists at all. And they will only start dropping possum badges after you've achieved the rank of possum. The only way to get tadpole badges is through the challenges (or that one season long ago that gave some on the scoreboard). Source: datamining the game's files.

Saw the challenges; groaned. Went to YT, found this to bypass it and get the badges, we are so back.

I always rush getting the standard backpack and mod it with chemist so I can free up space in strength for more heavy weapons perks.

DONT CHASE +120 backpack. Get this basic +60 from main scout missions and then buy CHEM plan from Minerva. Its 260 bullion and you will get -90% weight on all chems. That is worth a lot more than additional +60 carry + you will save 3 strenght perk points to use on something else.

I've gotten more bug parts from super mutant gore piles than I have from actual living insects. I have yet to receive a single Possum badge from the daily challenges.

I spent about an hour grinding a single badge then i got bored and looked this up. Its good to know

He walked into his own nade😂😂

I've done the scout daily tasks for 2 months on 2 characters. I've never got a single opossum badge to drop on either character.

U can get possum medals in campfire take event

there's also a radroach usually on the 2nd floor of the building by dolly sods

nice video dude!! and new subscriber ❤

I permanently roleplay as a pioneer scout. Clean the toxic waste has 4 locations you can get. The town right beside the npc. The other town south of the lake. Hemlock holes golf course and finally the lake itself. Tadpole badges. There are only 9 badges required to buy all the tadpole items. Hat and suit and the plans for tadpole stuff. There are 10 tadpole challenges so dont be wasting too much time as a tadpole. The challenges for badges can seem tough but they arent so bad. So maybe only stay as a tadpole until you collect just a few extra badges so you dont have to complete all the challenges. Once you are possum scout you will need to grind for badges if you want all the possum stuff. Do all the challenges doesnt get you far for possum stuff. Maybe run high luck build to get badges easier from the dailies and event if that even works. The challenges overall are fun and will kind of take you everywhere. Do these alongside the other camera challenges like taking pics in zones or the tourist camera quest to double up on getting things done. Im 700 hours in and still dont have all the possum stuff unlocked so be ready to grind. Ever Upwards campers!

You can also get possum badges from campfire tales

Gonna start back playing

If you get the backpack plus the right 3 star legendary mods on your armor pieces, you can be walking out with tooons of food and aid items and still have plenty of carry weight left for rando stuff

After stalking multiple low levels i finally got it!

"F*ck Scout Badges" 2 minutes later "You need 3 scout badges or this doesn't work"

I just got the scout badges I’ve had nothing but time over the years

Fun fact with the crossbow and getting kills. Throw a grenade at a group of enemies than vats your grenade than shoot with your crossbow…grenade does more damage than your crossbow and any kills you get should count as crossbow kills. This worked for me and made the slog of crossbow kills much easier.

I'm level 178 and I still use the standard backpack.

Thank you. I need a better option

Depending on have much chems u carry or collect to sell u end up getting more with chemist and the regular +60

I've done that Campfire Tales hundreds of time and don't recall ever getting a Possum badge for it, although I know you are supposed to have a chance at getting one.

I've definitely got a possum badge from Tea Time before. It also has a 25% chance to give one as a reward.

The gameplay commentary is funny lmao

I got lucky and found someone selling the high capacity mod at their camp

10:06 you can also just go knock the skeleton off the target before the test to make it easier if you need to.

Lol ive been using the crocodile backpack the whole time. Pushing lvl 300

Got mine in three days after they were first added.

Scout quests are acutally a good way for new players to learn a lot about the game. I would recommend doing them. Also going the easy way will just end up in those quests sitting there uncompleted and bugging you while you have done everything else and you will do them anyways for completion.

We can allways run Traveling Farmacy and Thru Hiker, and then we can use the high capacity mod after completing lots of tadpole challenges. But that steals space to other perks, Im happy with the normal tadpole backpack with the chemist mod and only run Thru Hiker. Or I could run grocers mod and Traveling Farmacy. Either way, One of those mods and one of those perk cards is all you need...

Its alot easier than many think just time consuming, the main ones that will hold you up are ones that require an item to be crafted.

Only change I made was to do codebreaking instead of hunter, but that is because I started it at like level 50, so I had lockpicking and hacking maxed.

Wish I knew this before I got promoted 😩

Maniacs... Maniacs never change. OR Maniacs gonna maniac.

Scorchqueen Beast

I completed 3 tadpole and 8 possum challenges and actually had fun. You explore a lot of stuff in the game while doing so. It felt like I was getting 100% achievements in some openworld exploration game after completed story. But I can see that a lot of people will see it as a slog

I really enjoyed getting the backpack! I'm almosy lvl 100 finally and it'd already a MASSIVE boon, now I just need to get the carry weight mod from the scout vending machine to make it +120 carry weight instead of the base 60 😅🙏💛

I use large backpack with chemist mod works just as good and I carry so much chems to sell

Fastest way to get to the scout camp is to wait for the Swarm of suitors event (I was lucky and I got it to get there myself).

Defeated the schorched beast queen i got the backpack mod from Samuel at Foundation you get 2

Great video but i have a question. The opposum mod high capacity is +10 and with the big backpack on lvl50 that should be 70 Capacity. Is this the right mod i need for getting 120 capacity?? I ask before spending hours to grind 8 opposum badges and have only 70 capacity in the end. Thank you!

Almost a week of doing the dailies and still 0 possum badges. Yes I have the Standard (+60) backpack. Not sure if just really unlucky or I'm missing something else.

I know I'm generally pretty unlucky, but I call bullshit on the 25% chance to get a badge from those two Dailies. My rate was probably closer to 10%. I ended up doing a combination of Possum challenges and picking up badges from the Dailies, and maybe one or two from Campfire Tales (always seems to pop up when I'm in the middle of something else) to get the High Capacity mod. Now I'm slowly working my way through all of the Possum and Tadpole badges just for my own sick completionist satisfaction.

Can't be sleeping on them yao guai. 😃

I do it for fun it keeps me playing the game

I love these guides for how to do things as fast as possible because I am always looking for ways to play the game less

I hope they add Squirrel challenges in the Shenandoah Valley.

Man I saw this mod in a shop for 15K last night. Was 1K short. 😢

Correct me if I’m wrong but I play solo and I’m 99% positive I did the player revives on myself using the mysterious savior card. Hope this helps.

25% to get a possum badge.... dose that activate after you finish the tadpole quest ? I've never looted a badge from the event, but I just did the quest 2 days ago ?

Can I equipe this backpack and the jetpack (secret service armor) at the same time?

im bloodie commando and kinda like to carry lot things in my back, 120 isnt enough..lol, i only have trick to get possum badge who really pain in ass for their badge, do daily boy scout everywhere dan do event mirelurk switor...in one week i got the mod for backpack

Wait the high capacity mod increases by 60 more?? I’m stuck between high capacity and refrigerated since I am a carnivore but I’m working towards getting the cryo freezer which is a bit far away.

I'm not always getting badges from the two dailies. Is it a bug or something?

So instead of doing the challenges I should just wait days anyways for a 25 present chance to get one from a daily???

Yep you go through all of that just to use the chemist back pack anyway 😂

What range?

The scouts little test that you take is too easy unless you actually have no life experience in anything including a basic education..😂😂😂😂

The hacker badge is also easy to get if you launch nukes. Also, the entomologist badge is easy.

So basically just do the quest for it gottcha 😂

So regarding that roach in the locked closet? No roof. So if you, say, have a power armor with jetpack, which you can get reasonably easy, just check the boxes and suitcases around watoga after queen fights, and someone who's gotten a hundred of the things will drop a plan. Or just get someone to make you one. Also, you should be able to jump right over with marsupial.

I'm at 146 and still haven't bothered to finish this. I'm slacking

Lv 502 with +30 carry weight bag

already finding the "repair crossbow" is quite obnoxious since I cant craft one without it spawning 200% durability and wont let you repair without it being under 100%. Yeah this takes forever.....

That +120 carry weight isn’t even that good. If you’re someone who carries food, chems and lots of other stuff you might as well get a backpack that reduces 90% food or chems.

Thumbnail: F*** Scout Badges! 100% of the Video: You getting scout badges.

Bought mine for 15k caps, worth it lol

I do the daily challenges since 3 weeks now, and only have 5 possum badges. The game is so unfair....

U forgot ther a yogi at white spring

This is kinda hard i tried but im not sure if the game is glitching out, hard to do all this but ill try again

Is IT just me, or when i arrived at the destinații, i got no quest to do?...

For the archer badges can I use a bow instead of a crossbow or it has to be only crossbow?

I'm stuck on 5 possum badges, I can't seem to get more. I've done about 10 days worth of those quests and the event and haven't gotten 1 Possum Badge since.

Scout badges are a pain in the ass, whoever designed them is a sadist with a desire to see people suffer. Some of the quests are fun but a good majority of them suck. The pioneer scout dailies are a blessing though, even though it's only a small chance to get a possum badge from completing one it's worth it. Getting the possum uniform, hat, banner, and stash box was grueling, but worth it for me personally.

I just put up the fo1st tent and problem solved.
