i haven't played 76 in years but when i did i would just follow new players around ominously in a space suit. i wouldn't do anything and i'd tail them for hours. if they attacked me i'd punch them once and then run off.
OtherAgree it’s gonna be like this:
During fallout 76’s launched players spotted a player in a space suit watching them and following them. He would punch them but not kill them and would run away. People have called this player “the wandering spaceman” however after 2018 players haven’t spotted him again but they hope to see him again someday in the wasteland of 76.
His identity remains largely unknown, and it is unclear if the character is simply another player messing around, or if it's really a creepy NPC implemented by the developers. So far, no quests or lore have been found mentioning the Wandering Spaceman. Either way, it's downright creepy.
Now, onto Number 14: Taco Bell Piss Nachos
Burger King foot lettuce
There gonna be a game rant "article" about this in a week
Remind me in a week
But also starve them of clicks
god i would fucking love that unironically lmao
I want Oxhorn to do it for extra flair
"One day, while exploring the Appalachian wilderness, I encountered a man in a spacesuit. He has been following me since I got out of the Vault, made my camp, created a vaccine, and fought the Scorchbeast.
Is he the new cryptid? Has the Interloper awakened?"
Theory confirmed: SOME SCPs can be produced by nuclear annihilation.
Best one I’ve found or they found me as they joined my public team, is I had a random dressed in a doctors outfit nothing too special… armed with just a basic laser pistol. Well after a while I noticed they would fall behind and then run up to me real quick and they refused to jump. They would hit an obstacle and just move forward till they moved around it…
I remember Oxhorn, dude made funny wow videos
I remember during 2021 at some point, I was a new player and whenever an enemy would attack me, they would just drop dead from a suppressed gunshot. Happened for like half an hour and a high level player waved at me and left. Was funny.
That's some billy madison "Man, I'm glad I called that guy" shit
He was your Mysterious Stranger.
“YOURE STEALING MY XP, DICK!”
I used to trail newbies in flatwoods in my stealth suit, wait for them to access a container or something, and stand right behind them staring at them through binoculars.
Hey, who turned out the lights?
Donna Nobel has left the server, Donna Nobel has been banned.
I was looking for this reference or for something referencing River Song.
Oh shit.
This is freaky cause I was just doing this to a trio of level 20s in the clean spacesuit like 2 days ago
Keep the legend alive
Now go! Let the legend come back to life!
"hey Ferb, i know what we are gonna do today"
The real mysterious stranger.
That was you?!?!?!?!
did you encounter me in na servers around 2019?
No
Lol
Bro is farming
Where did you get the space suit?
Gotta give daddy Todd your sweet… succulent cash…
Meatcanyon reference?
atomic shop
from the lockers in the Crashed Space Station (Now Crater)
(pre-raiders, can't say if they still spawn there now or not)
It does still spawn there but it’s not the orange version, it’s the chromatic/white one
I do this with a clown costume and fasnact jester mask, but watching from a distance and occasionally killing a random settler/scavenger npcs then eating the bodies while they watch.
This seems like something Roger would do actually. 😆
When you’re so into wasting time that it makes the other nerds seem cool.
I'll continue your legacy
go my children, don your flight suits and stalk the appalachian nights. never interfering, never endangering, always watching.
This is the way.
Goddamit, TF2 is leaking
The observers have already breached through our defenses
I've been looking for a reason to pick the game back up, and I believe you just gave me a reason and blessing
I’m waiting for one of them to arrange a nuclear strike on their own position just to deal with the stalker.
okay fuck it i'm reinstalling the game rn. the spaceman returns at last
BEWARE THE ASH HEAP IN THE COMING WEEKS LEST I LATCH ONTO YOU
I look forward to your return
No i am not giving you my random assortment of junk!
Do it! I'd love to see your adventures. Like a YouTube channel of you observing randoms and the occasional one punch and run away when one attacks.
so it begins again
The group I play, we have a thing where we follow people around naked with animal masks on and keep spamming the dance emotes. If they join in we give them a ton of loot.
Bro did Among us before it became popular
i have officially started again
You made this post just as an excuse to start your legend again, didn't you?
no actually, i didn't have the game installed and wasn't even sure if my character was still gonna be saved.
Damn, OP should have kept doing this and become a legend. Maybe even an unofficial "secret" of Fallout 76 lore.
i mean i'm tempted to start again
Reminds me of my travels through Rust as the "pumpkin man". I would put a pumpkin on my head and try to sell pumpkins to randoms I found on my journey. Being that it was Rust, pretty much everyone I encountered murdered me and stole my pumpkins...
If there was a way to be summoned as the mysterious stranger. lol
Lmao, that’s similar to what I would do, I’d chase people while wearing X0-1 power armor with a .50 cal machine gun. I’d once chased a new player from Point Pleasant to WV Lumber Co when the game came out.
And when the Chinese stealth suit and Chinese power armor came out. I’d craft tons of nuka grenades and trolled players while invisible or in a sick suit of power armor. When they figured me out I’ll gift them Nuka Grenades for the trouble I caused.
He's just standing there, menacingly!
White shadow
Omg it’s Mr Burke’s great great grandmother
Edit: by the way where does one get a spacesuit?
Atomic Shop
Welp guess it’s good I saved up some points from challenges then
There's ones that aren't atom items, I've gotten a clean spacesuit and a clean helmet from the responders vendor and sold them in my vendo for about 2k for the set (1500 +500)
What happened if they baited enemies into focusing you?
i'm not sure because that never happened. i know i DID always empty my inventory of anything i'd drop on death in case they killed me, so i'd probably just commit to the bit and continue following them whilst being beaten to death by an assaultron
this is the good old wholesome trolling i grew up with. the world needs more of this
That's an incredibly annoying thing to do.
But why tho?
And this is the reason MMOs suck.
I love this lol
Are you making sure nobody is venting?
chicanery
This is awesome.
My friend played when it first came out, he still does on and off, and this sounds like bullshit but I swear I've heard him talk about you in the past. Said it was weird at first but you tailed him for like 3 days straight and he got used to the company and when you stopped he actually missed it a little. I remember because it was so weird and I laughed a little at his story. I think he took pictures for our group chat but that's on another phone somewhere.
Can I guess the years? You haven't played in 4, maybe 5 years? Because he hasn't mentioned you since. I'm gonna message that mfer later today I'm screaming dude 🤣
“IGNORE ME!!”
Fellow ventureroo!
Returnal vibes
HEY, WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
Unemployed mfs on a wednesday
I'm a level 6 and have been for about a year. I just downloaded and started playing again after literal ages and I was in some dudes camp looking at a wall of cool looking guns and I turned and they were standing in the door way and I almost shate myself.
LMAO, you goof 🤣
Twilight zone stuff
New cryptic unlocked: "Astro-Nut"
Am I the only person who thought for a split second it said " I haven't played for 76 years"?
Stalker 2 Early Access
I wish I had so much free time 😳
Based
This is why I like the fallout community
You just can't script or predict interactions like this
Hey, who turned out the lights?
The Interloper
"RED SUS!"
This is the best answer to “ tell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic “
Doctor Who Mother Fucker....
“He’s just standing there….MINCINGLY”
WEE WOOOO WEE WOOOO!!!!
Man, every time I hear anything about 76, it's either one of two things: how shit the game is, or how cool the players are.
u look ominous as fuck i can't get shit in 76 im a poor broke little shit with a wood house of garbage and random things i've collected in the very much empty map that has little to no real settlements to trade with. i was so sad after getting 76 and seeing how buggy it was it's really fun to play with the homies i just wish there were more quests the biggest thing i felt fallout 4 lacked was an online aspect they just executed it wrong
as god intended
OBSERVE
Similarly I used to stalk around PlayStation Home dressed as Pyramid Head.
That's some SCP or creepypasta level shit and I'm all in for it.
How do you get the space suit
I'ma do this when I get to a higher level with my Miner outfit now, but follow low levels at a distance
Wear yellow trench coat and follow them closely, if they ever get into combat, help them out
Wouldn't bother me. The apocalypse can get lonely.
Son of a- FUCKING FOUND YOU
please tell me you're the absolute saint who gave me 40 stimpaks for doing nothing
I always played a union soldier who only used black powder weapons with the cannibal perk. I would chase scorched, shoot them, eat them, and then go for the next one.
Among us
While funny, this is precisely why I prefer single-player Fallout games.
Seems like a jerk move
it's not about kindness it's about confusion. i get so many question mark emotes
We're you doing that near launch? Cause I swear I remember a player stalking me in that outfit for like half an hour before I got freaked out and disconnected.
yeah
Adding some fun to the game 😭
It would make my day if someone did this. I’d remember that weird time I played 76 for the rest of my life. I’d wonder…but never truly know, what the hell that guy was doing.
Your gonna become a creepypasta lmao
Take your impossible astronaut ass back to Lake Silencio.
I've seen some weird azz characters during fasnat.. day events slim legs like wrong turn shit usually in underwear lmao jezzz those creep me way out
OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU DID THIS TO ME
ISTFG… YOU DID THIS TO ME. I HAD SOMEONE DO THAT TO ME A FEW YEARS AGO
I used to farm stealth boys and stalk people in the old survival mode.
I do things like this from time to time. Sometimes you get the really jumpy people who keep turning around and walking backwards.
You know that time is finite right?
and yet i enjoy my trivialities regardless
Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted
Yet fucking with newbies is timeless.
It is, so why are you on reddit instead of working or studying? You arent learning anything new here or being productive in any way
So, if OP cant use their free time to just have fun why do YOU have the right to?
Red is acting hella sus fr
r/psychoticfallout needs to be a thing so this can be in it
You’re gonna get put on a fallout iceberg chart
