Thanks for clicking into my post, this is a very long one and also a very important topic to me so I will be putting a lot of effort into this one to (hopefully) get Bethesdas attention.

Nuka Quantum: Restore 200 HP Restore 100 AP

Cola Nut 2: Nuka Cola products are now 3 times as beneficial

Nuka Quantum with Cola Nut 2: Restore 600 HP Restore 300 AP

An Exploiter with 5000 Nuka Quantums that can be spammed endlessly: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My gripe here is this, you've fixed tesla for NW, you added prototype stealthboys for NW. But for adventure....... crickets. Now not only are we dealing with Tesla SB, but now the Nuka Quantums and nothing but silence.

You've completely abandoned anything to do with PvP in this game since that lazy (for lack of better words) 110 hit cap that made LITERALLY every non auto weapon completely obsolete for PvP and made tesla stealthboy reign king. See my previously ignored post - https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/d6ob1f/i_know_anything_pvp_related_gets_downvoted_on/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

I believe I'm speaking on the behalf of the entire PvP community when I say this, Bethesda you are completely ignoring a certain part of your player base and you do not seem to care about exploiters running rampant.

I will play devils advocate to myself and say: Well Quantums are an in-game item.

Yes they are (and extremely OP), but not when were talking about literal hundreds of these being used in a single fight.

If you were to farm Quantums yourself, it would take you hours to search the entire world and you would end up with lets be generous and say 40.

People will spam that many in ONE PvP interaction, we all know the average fight on here will last 30 minutes or so and I personally have seen people use over 100 Quantums in just a 30 minute fight against myself. When I see the clips these guys take when they kill me, they will have on average 3 to 4 hundred Quantums on them at a time in their quick key.

(Just) 1 interaction I had with one of these (Dozens of) guys: qffr tesla 60 hits straight at 80 damage, quick key to bffr tesla for 2 clips of 15 hitting 110. I die in this scenario.

Quick maffs: 60 * 80 = 4800

Then add the 2 clips of 15 (so 30)

110 * 30 = 3300

4800 + 3300 = 8100

8100 / 600 = 13 Quantums

That's How much damage Quantums out healed in about 10 seconds. Seems a little.... dare I say... broken?

I'm writing this to you because it is disappointing that you have what seems like abandoned the PvP'ers entirely, I have seen all the really good PvP'ers leave the game because its such a broken mess that caters to cheaters and exploiters and there is very few people left like me, that refuse to use the exploit these people call the "new meta" that is quantum spamming.

I made a post a while back here - https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/cdp6ly/my_gf_and_i_play_fo76_everyday_and_became_good/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x this was when my buddy sent me a Fallout themed baby shower gift with a super cute vault 51 onesie for my daughter. And Bethesda replied! Awesome!

I bring this up to remind you that I am a real (somewhat normal) person with everyday duties I have to take care of. I enjoy every aspect of the game like camp building https://www.reddit.com/r/fallout76settlements/comments/cthbs8/i_built_a_comic_book_shop_styled_camp_video_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

And of course (and mainly) PvP!

All I want is something, anything from Bethesda saying 'Yes we know about this' or 'We're working on balance changes for PvP' anything to just give me a little hope for PvP when Wastelanders drops. If these PvP scenarios don't get looked into before Wastelanders I will consider it a massive fail on Bethesdas part and a big F U to all PvP'ers.

Ive now spent 2 hours crafting this post so I will conclude it here, please show some love to us PvP'ers we are after all, the people who spend the most time on the game.

Special thanks to anyone who took the time to read this, and may Todd have mercy on all of our souls. Br-ahmen

P.S. Once again I will not be responding to any comments here, I am leaving this as an open discussion. Thank you.

This is a really well thought out post, thank you for taking the time to write this all out and providing videos as examples to your points. I'll raise this with the team if they are not already aware of this.
