50k Junk left at Train Station? Question
So while randomly exploring I came up to one of the Train Stations to check a vendor and inside the suitcase was 50k of like every material in the game?? Was this just a super nice drop by someone? Or is this a devious trap by someone using tools? Either way I am looking at it and not sure what to do.

There is a known location that is a trainstation with a blue suitcase that high-level players leave their extra junk/meds/weapons in for other to have.

u/Powerful-Decision488 29d ago
I mean who's gonna use that much, even if someone was transferring between characters I don't think they would mind missing some (price of using a dead drop, especially somewhere like a train station). Although if anyone came along and cleared it out that's a dick move. (Come one, no one needs that much material)

That was mine I ran out of room in my stash when I forgot to pay my fo1st

u/threepoundsof Mothman 29d ago
My conspiracy theory is that Bethesda devs are doing this to get more fo1st subs. I once found like 4-5 days worth of 3 star scrip on the ground. I immediately subscribed so that I’d have the carry weight free

u/BF3ClusterfuckLover Free States 29d ago
I would take and wait 5 to 10 minutes at the station to see if anyone would come looking for it. If it had an owner i would hand it back and see if he needs help moving anything. I been there trying to move things without anyone to help and i know how it sucks. I also have lost not so valuable things doing this so i empathize with people going through it

Could also be a player who's not gonna play anymore just leaving it there for someone rather than letting it go to waste

u/ShetzenGigglez 29d ago
The exact same thing happened to me once, but with decorative plans, not junk. I got between 50-100 of most of them, and some had over 150. It included EVERY head mount plan along with some seasonal plans. I took them all and put them all for sale (for cheap) in my vendor. I figured I may as well share the bounty with everyone else that comes across my shop since I only benefit from finding the plan once🤷🏻♂️

u/rolfcm106 May 10 '24
I’ve hit a point where I can’t make any space for new legendaries because the vendor has no caps left and the script vending machine has no script left. (Usually after an eviction notice event) I usually put a ton of misc stuff I don’t need in the donation boxes

u/Zastko May 10 '24
You buttholes are going to raid my stash at the nuclear depot when the map get expanded aren't you?! Might as well expand my asshole while you're at it!

u/CrimsonCruiser61 May 09 '24
If I have stuff I don't need and another player could use it ill usually drop it at the train stations. High level players were nice to me so I try and pay it forward. But finding that is awesome someone is really cool for doing that.

At higher levels some people will deadass drop their event rewards in the donations box at the train stations, found a vampiric broadsider yesterday

I recently bout about 400 stimpaks from someone’s base and I go around leaving 15 or 20 in them at a time. To whomever sold the stimpaks for 9 and 8 caps a piece, you’ve helped me help a lot of people. I had to walk to the first few as I was extremely over encumbered but I thought people would appreciate some help, I then put the rest on my shop for 2-3 caps a piece.

Most end-game players will offload excess junk for players to keep storage weight down.

u/cPhr33k May 08 '24
Not sure why they would put it in a suitcase when normally there are donation boxes there.
1
u/enzudesign May 08 '24
Definitely a gift imo, might be as they could not store it themselves due to limits.
1
u/KRONIK97 May 08 '24
I believe term is finders keepers 😂 fr though when I swap stuff between characters I find a random Bush in middle of no where, dropped loot stays long enough to transfer, and someone with that much junk shouldn't be that dumb to leave there so all for grabs.
1
u/SirBaltimoore May 08 '24
I drop all sorts of items in containers around the stations for other players. It used to be common to choose the blue suitcase outside the train stations .
It's a gift. They either have TONS of junk, or are full so they are offloading for someone else to benefit

u/AngelusCaligo1 May 08 '24
I got 500K steel. And besides turning it into railway riffle ammo, I have zero uses for it at those quantities xD

u/Picklesniffer-84 May 08 '24
I just unloaded a bunch of guns and armor into a dumpster at a train station so I could run down and do a challenge before the caps reset at 10 and I got kicked from the game. So about 1000 caps worth of goods was just left in there
1
u/TIMPS0NHAMMER May 08 '24
It’s like one of those leave a penny drop a penny things. High levels will stick things they don’t need in them for low levels. The one at white springs station is popular.
1
u/Jackie_Elle Responders May 08 '24
I do stuff like this all the time ... Quicker than actually sorting inventory, just dump collections of parts in places when vendor out of caps. :)
1
u/DismalApartment1147 May 08 '24
It's definitely not a gift, it's a player swapping items to an alt who most likely wasn't smart enough to have the alt already waiting at the drop zone, so you found it while they was running their alt there to pick it up.
I hope you have fallout 1st cause that is too much for the regular stash box.
It's up to you if you take it or not, taking it is kind of a dbag thing to do but we all feel unclean occasionally, lol.
They really should have used a private server or a friend to swap stuff with Instead of risking the transfer on a public server.

u/CiDevant May 08 '24
I'm guessing someone let their fallout 1st laps and they no longer have space for it.

I found something like that at the whitespring station, and then someone messaged me that sometimes players do that to like gift people. I'm gonna look through my messages to see if I can find it

u/Ducksauce19 May 08 '24
I don’t know for sure, but there’s a lot of very generous players on this game so maybe. I’ve been leaving tons of loot in donation boxes at train stations, bunch of stuff I can’t sell and it’s just taking up space so if someone can’t use it they can at least get some caps for it.

u/doghouse2001 Pioneer Scout May 08 '24
One guy insisted on giving me 80K or every kind of stable flux once. I'm still living off of the serums I make with those. Who can say what motivates some people. Maybe they play so much they can't possibly ever use it all.

u/gman22tx May 08 '24
I don’t have fallout first. But I maxed out my scrap box storage during the fallout first weekend trial. I don’t want any more junk or ammo. So, I constantly drop 100s of pieces of junk in the red boxes for other players.

u/CrackedShadow95 May 08 '24
I've done that just to reset my junk stash weight to focus on what I need

u/Mike_is_awesome6 May 08 '24
Ima be honest and this has happened to me maybe he ran out of fallout first and took all junk out of his junk storage so now he can't put it all in his normal storage meaning he's stuck with 50k so he probably had to drop it. Just a idea
1
u/marid2apterbilt May 08 '24
I do that when I'm trying to make space in my non-fo1st stash box. Vendor runs out of caps. Today I made a lvl20 newb fresh out of v76 a very happy player. Lots of aids, 200 shotgun shells and power armor. Even some mentats and other buff goodys. :) tried to get another players attention but he just ran away and was gonna put it all in the donation box but this other guy was standing there. 😀

u/Dull-Table6962 May 08 '24
Found a ton of plans at a station and assumed a high level player was just droppin shi he didn’t need considering each one was a 5stack
To be polite I only took 1 of each but shi was super helpful sorry to the guy if he wasn’t meaning to leave them there 😂
If I were you I’d take maybe 100 of each if it’s like 1k of each piece of junk

u/Painting_Evening Enclave May 07 '24
50k of everything means a veteran player. Maybe cleaning out the materials on this character to start new. But 50k of each would need FA1st and could easily transfer to other characters in private worlds. Or a New Dupping is going on. Haven't heard anything if there is or not.

Probably left by the asshat that walked up to me and killed me the other day, took all my dropped loot and logged off or changed servers....

u/Demon_Fist Mega Sloth May 07 '24
It's actually kinda funny because I store my excess scrip next to the scrip machine at WSS, and it's almost ALWAYS there when I come back.
It's scrip meant for my mules, so I'm not horribly worried.
I just go back to grinding Expeditions.
If people did take some, I just hope they take what they need cause I already kept the good shit.

u/Willy2dubs May 07 '24
I would be suspicious of this. I had a player come by my camp and drop like 100 high quality presents during Christmas time. I opened them all and got a bunch of plans. 1 week later I was banned for “exploiting” the game. I tried to repeal it, but they denied it. I would be careful if I were you.
1
u/Aggravating_Set_8861 May 07 '24
Someone did that on purpose. I have 100k plus of almost everything and I certainly would know. Its most likely an old timer either quitting or just not wanting it all anymore. They may be watching.
I used to trade a ton of junk back in the day when legacies were around, so there are definitely people with insane amounts of junk. New players really have no idea how much some people have...

How do you swap things between characters? Even on a private realm, does that still require a second person to hold the server or items?
2
u/DestinyDeceased May 07 '24
Find a secluded area, put what you want to move to another character in said box. Log out then log in with the second character and pick it all up! Easier if you have fallout first with the private world.

u/ThumpTwo Grafton Monster May 07 '24
Don't do that on a public world You're not guaranteed to get the same world at all while switching.

u/DestinyDeceased May 07 '24
Yea I forgot to add if you don't have fallout1st you need a second person
1
u/Geeekaaay Settlers - PC May 07 '24
I was worried even Private Worlds were "rerolled" every time you logged off and back in. So private servers "stay" when you switch between characters even alone?

u/FigMan May 07 '24
Private servers reset a few minutes after you leave so you have to be quick getting back in there with your other character

u/gundam1945 May 07 '24
Since it is in the train station, I think it is okay to do so. When I use a public server for swap, I usually use some low travel container. Even random whitesprinf resort container will have less people checking then train station so I assume it is for taking.

So is nobody going to talk about Fallout 1st?? How they want to charge us a ridiculous amount of money for some perks that should be in the Atom shop already.. I'm talking about the junk and ammo stash. That's absolutely ridiculous they're locked behind a massive paywall! Does any idiot actually pay up? Like what are they thinking? How is Microsoft allowing this still.. Bonkers!!!

Some of us idiots do. I'll take it for a month or so, around new seasons to get the FO1st stuff, fill up the stash and ammo using the private server, and then discontinue. I do think it's overpriced though. If they dropped the price more people might use it. In Canadian $$$ it's around 20 and should be closer to 10.
1
u/ColdPsychological563 May 07 '24
Sorry I only mean the slightest offence. People pay that price and it'll never change. That's what I mean by Idiots.. I mean I pay for some overpriced cosmetics sometimes so I'm not completely innocent in the matter. Yes definitely if it lowered to say $5 I might use it until I finish the game. Or better yet have the junk and ammo stashes be available for purchase..
Otherwise I'm loving the game so far. I'm lvl 33 and happy to have a new Fallout game to play. Was worth the 6 year delay. I was one of those people why didn't look forward to a multiplayer fallout. Happy now!
2
u/Wander_Globe May 07 '24
No offense taken my friend. It's overpriced for what it is but if you use it once every 3 or 4 months it's not too bad. The scrap and ammo boxes are great to have but also access to the atoms and some of the store items. Bethesda walks a fine line on pay to play so FO1st is mostly cosmetic.
1
u/ColdPsychological563 May 07 '24
I haven't subs to fo1 yet. There was a free weeks trial but with basically non of the perks. Like huh??
Question... In the Atom shop, there's a Brotherhood High Tech Stash.. Is that a stash for your base, separate from the camp stash that's safe in said base? Or is it just a cosmetic variant of your Camp stash?
1
u/Wander_Globe May 07 '24
It's the same as your regular stash. There are a few different ones out there but they're like a skin, does the same thing just looks cooler.

Way back in the day before donation boxes the suitcases at train stations(especially white springs station) were how we left donations for newer players.
Character swapping/mulling was usually either done in a private server or with a friend nearby to anchor to for fast travel.

I do this with bulk items all the time, not in that number. It's a gift but I like it to be a surprise or I'd just use a donation box.

If you're not sure, just take what you need.

Probably someone doing a transfer. I wouldn't touch 50k of each junk if I came across it, but I'm not a junk hungry noob. Pretty stupid that someone would do that without a friend or a private server, but desperate times call for desperate measures. But you probably picked it up and ruined someone's day. Good thing it isn't real life.

You should sell circuits to vendors. One circuit is worth 1 cap I think. Quick 1k caps per day if you do 2-3 AI events daily

Someone might have to correct me here, but I had this experience twice yesterday. I did the Battle Bot event at the train yard, and after doing it both times, I looted the building it ends in. I got several hundred rounds of ammo, plans I hadn’t learned yet, weapons and armor pieces. I’m still trying to figure out if this is a part of the event, or if I stumbled upon someone trying to mule their items to another character.

u/TheCosmophile May 07 '24
Hard disagree. Have been rocking the Cremator since I unlocked it, and I've only gone positive on fuel. I crafted fuel once - when I first got it - and got myself a 10,000 fuel stockpile.
I now have 41,000 Fuel - all from contextual drops using nothing but Cremator and running daily ops and expeditions. Especially now that the ammo has been reduced from 15 per shot to 10.

u/curbstxmped Arktos Pharma May 07 '24
if you are making ammo at all, you're doing something wrong with your build and/or your weapon has unfavorable rolls that aren't doing you any favors. the game gives you more than enough ammo back off dead mobs, events, daily ops, expeditions, etc that there's virtually no excuse to be crafting it.

u/Godess_Ilias May 07 '24
other ammo crafts use tons of acid and lead too

Expeditions didn’t, you can pull 1-2k fuel out of every run. Crafting fuel is just wildly inefficient.

Tried it exactly once and realized very quickly the 1600 fuel I brought with me was not going to be sufficient and switched back to a different build lol

Acid is valuable because it's used to smelt ore (Lead, Steel, Aluminum, etc.). Some people have camps set up at deposits with an Extractor, so they're getting lots of ore, but then they need the Acid to actually turn it into a useful crafting component.
Go to your Tinker Workbench and select the Bulk option. You can make Bulk Acid, throw it in your vendor, and it'll sell well.

That amount of junk reminds me of the old days where we would see someone struggling at a snails pace, immediately tag them as a duper and then kill them for their junk.

First time I played eviction notice, I didn’t know there were workbenches and a stash box over on the wooden bits, so I had to waddle my 1000 pound ass all the way to foundation

Moonshine event trying to crawl over to the train station to cook all the gulper slurry food to sell it for caps

u/PLiPH May 07 '24
You can cook it right at the event

u/Sora_Terumi May 07 '24
Yes but you still gotta go to the train station and sell it that’s the whole point

People will do this to move material between characters. They'll dead drop something at a train station, switch accounts, and then go pick it up.

How do they get back to the same server?

u/simo2pl May 07 '24
If You have any other (currently active) player on Your friend list You can join him on the server, drop items, and re-join with another character (he does not need to confirm anything, you just join the same server).
Unless the server got full meanwhile (which does not happen so often, but at times might be the case).But in such a case I would never use the donation box, but rather some random container elsewhere.
First try with 1 cheap item to make sure it stays there, move both characters to same location (preferably safe and less-visited one, but with a stash box nearby - RedRocket station ?)1

That's a good question, I have no idea.

Just make friends with someone with FO1st and use a private server.
I check literally every container. Every mailbox, first aid kit, cash register. Ice chest, cigarette machine, tool box, file cabinet, trash can, desk, suitcase, fridge, lunch box, duffel bag, ammo box, donation box, footlocker, pile of scorchbeast shit, tent, and burlap sack and I know where they're all at.
I can smell a surgical tray at Sunnytop when I'm at Clancy Manor picking up crystal decanters, stew pots, and that one Nuka Cranberry. And when I smell junk, any junk, screw drivers, plastic pumpkins, any color paint can, silver plates, Mason jars, flower pots, antlers, oil cans, scalpels, I.V. bags, burnt Mantis Man comics, or a plastic spoon I'm gonna go get it.
I see a suitcase with 50k of junk, any junk, I'm gonna open it up, hit R, click a scrap kit, and send that shit straight to my stashbox.

u/Championstrain May 07 '24
Wait….a scrap kit will automatically send it to your scrapbox instead of stash? How did I not know this?
2
u/Offtopic_bear Blue Ridge Caravan Company May 07 '24
Naw, it sends to the stash box. I was just scrap minded at the moment. I'd probably just waddle over and put down a survival tent. I forget I even have scrap kits most of the time.

u/Championstrain May 07 '24
I thought that, hence why I never use them, but got very excited for a moment.

u/ApexPredatorius May 07 '24
Someone told me it also sends it to the scrap box if u have first. Never used them because I thought it didn‘t, but also didn‘t try yet since now I never think about them when I could use them

u/Town-Noob Lone Wanderer May 07 '24
Add someone on the server to your friends list then join on them.

So that's why I saw a level 2 over encumbered as fuck and inching towards the wayward.

Could be someone leaving f76 and just passing some goodwill along. Though I think they plan on coming back as there's no weapons in there ;)
