I find that dying and staying dead in the area of the event is more beneficial as all of my conditions on my food pause until i respawn and if i die in a less busy area (i found the back of the church is a good spot) im less likely to freeze/crash. When i respawn (if it hasnt froze) i get a load of pop ups for completing the event and all the rewards. If you die during the event, you immediately respawn without a choice so if you choose this method, die before the event.

If your on pc you can just bind the spacebar to moving forward, and just place something heavy on it.

Can’t afk or even play the game 90% of the time cause It crashes every 20 fucken minutes..

I had a problem with getting my controller to AFK on Xbox. I had to rubber band my sticks. Turn on Spotify and play some kinda music. Then I had to plug a headphone into the controller to make it think I am still active. Just a suggestion for those who keep getting kicked for inactivity on Xbox.

Tried this but for some reason the controller dc's after 20 to 30 minutes and the game 5 minutes after.

Those of us who have been around for awhile are more likely to afk. There are reasons for that. First of all, those first couple years? Fasnaucht came around 4 times a year, maybe more. We've put a lot of time in at Fasnaucht. Done the event more times than we can count. So yes, I'll sit on the tuba and put a rubber band on my controller while I go do laundry. It's very rare to find that many people afk'd at these events, but if you do, just switch servers.

The constant crashes/freezes on Playstation make AFKing difficult. During an 8 hour shift of work, I'm lucky to get 3 sets of rewards before I'm frozen or on a report crash screen when I get home.

It’s funny when people bring enemies down to them haha

if you put it in 3rd person amd holster your weapon, you can spin the camera and your character will stay still. this makes chameleon armor a good thing.

Crashes are worse because you can't get into a server that has an event that's still active. How do you re-spawn after being nuked? Someone dropped one mid event and I somehow spawned back exactly were I was when the bomb dropped and I don't have mysterious savior on.

I don't care about those that AFK or those that choose to nuke, its just a game! What we need to do is EVERYONE complain to Bethesda about the drop rate of the masks and the state of the servers. I'm sick of crashing out and then not being able to get on ANY server until the event is over. Even if I'm on a team I re join and get a black screen. I have all the common and uncommon masks but non of the rare not even the old ones, it's ridiculous.

I think it's a bad idea in my opinion because i had a sever where everyone was afk but me and one other person we did everything and i was worried we would lose but we did it

If the event was interesting like radiation rumble or eviction notice then hardly anyone would AFK but it’s so bloody boring.

I play on PS4 the mofo crash so much NONE OF YOU don't have to worry about ME AFKing. Just saying...🤣

If you AFK Fastnacht, you are relying on others to do the work to complete the event for you. No wonder FoxyRaven-TV nukes the event, why should players who actually participate do it so you can get rewarded.

People going AFK is part of the reason fastnacht keeps getting nuked, guy I know does it for that reason, he likes trolling on there.

I have no problem with Fasnacht afk'ers until they eventually become the majority of people on the server. Even then, it's a minor headache compared to the people who nuke the event.

I am not trying to afk but what I do almost has the same result. I am always incumbers so by the time I get to the the event it is almost over. most of the time I just get to the event in time to get the rewards. how dose the event start. I would like to be there at the start of the event to help

I used to think AFK was bad, but that was then, and this is now, LOL! The main reason I AFK (AFC for consoles) is if I find a good server, I'll AFK between events, and go about my business, but I try to help at the top of the hour. The PS5 stinks at AFKing, because it can only run a few hours, before crashing, leaving me with little to nothing overnight. So far, I've only got the glowing turkey, but I really want the glowing alien, LOL! Such is life in the wasteland... And as for getting nuked and dying, that actually helps AFK players, and makes doing the event a pain, for new players anyway... In the meantime, I'm getting quite the collection of other rare masks, like the death claw, robot, loon, etc... At the end, we get what we get, and have bartering stock as well, LOL!

I'm glad I found this video before the end of the two weeks. My wife and I game 76 together and we've been AFKing on instruments like a couple of n00bs.

Wish me luck attempting this now as ive gone out for dinner 😂

I haven’t afk’ed yet but if it comes done to the last few days, I might consider. I really want a glowing blue devil mask. I have gotten the buffoon and demon mask though so that is good.

You still get the rewards if you die as long as the event is completed and you’re at the area

DON'T rubber band your controller UNLESS you don't mind getting stick drift, have a second controller or have the money to buy another controller.

If you want to know for sure of AFKing affects the game and the loot drop, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oKSwvzuvCLE.html

if you're scared of moving while turning/walking in game you could open photo mode 👍

What happen if everyone afk? You got it!

been using autorun and that seems to work for me. Went a solid 8 hours no problems.

Dying is irrelevant. You can be nuked, die, the rad zone clears and Fasnacht continues. People do complete a nuked Fashnacht. You will still collect all rewards even if at the respawn screen. More fun to come back in the morning, respawn and watch 8 "event complete" cycles happen.

Just a couple of nights ago, there were like six other people listed in Fasnacht, but I was literally the only person doing it. Yeah, I did the entire Fasnacht by myself. You're welcome.

Why do this in the first place do these mask do anything ? Adding defence it doesn't matter to me either way I am just curious.

I'm an active player most of the time with events, but I just sit my character down and play guitar until Fasnacht is completed. It's a good time to make a drink, get something to eat or go to the bathroom. I don't AFK for hours, but it's good for short breaks.

What if people start eliminating AFK Players??? Will they be removed or just respawned in the event again?

I only afk if am got to do something for 10 or less minutes im not like some of those greedy bastards out there i already have 3 rare masks if i dont get anymore its fine

I notices the scorched beast masks doesnt show in the displays, only on the mannequins

Pro tip: if you AFK in the candle maker's house, its near where the guaranteed legendary enemies spawn. When you return to play you can often loot an extra legendary or two this way. Its not much but an extra little something.

Bethesda keeps adding more rare masks with keeping them at an abysmal total 5 percent drop chance. You're also limited to running the stupid thing once an hour, which severely limits the numbers of rolls you get on the rng wheel. Even with two accounts running this nonstop for days I've only gotten a couple of rare masks so far. Also, mission is fun for maybe 5-10 times, but it takes so effing long that you really can't complain that ppl end up AFK Farming this.

AFK’s actually put less stress on the servers because they’re not moving/shooting/ causing explosions etc. and for those that think dropping a nuke is some service to the people who actually have time to play, jokes on you 😂 Even dead AFK’s get loot. Got a hag and a Demon today. Already got all the glowing masks 🥶

I admit I have afk during the event, (I mostly log on and join in the mornings, an actually run the event, killing things to get the xp an whatnot. I run it about 4 ot 5 times (mostly cause I have 5 hours free in the mornings where I can play (I dont JUST do the fasnacht event. I'm doing other crap like my dailies and some skyline quests too... but when its time for me to log off and go to work or whatever I gotta do for the day... I just go in one of the buildings or play the musical instruments and just AFK for 5 to 6 hours, come back an check on it during launch, got most the masks, thou I didnt get the rare rare ones, most I got are like 3 owl masks! (an since I already had one at the beginning I now have 4 lol I just give them to my friends. or drop my duplicates to some random player

pls help, when I afk like after 3 hours it kicks me from server no matter what

Lmao that’s awesome. 😂

AFKing don’t bother me. When I see more than 6-7 I’ll jump servers. I have a limited amount of evenings to play so I do some of an evening at bedtime.

Awesome Tutorial, im a new fallout player, i love the series but nevr played fallout 76 im loving it i really apreciate content like yours very good video

I never have afked the event but now that I got a job and don’t have time to grind little by little like I used too I sit in the Corner I have a plug in controller I use my plug in cord to tie around my controller so I constantly walking into something it makes this event easier

i run 2 accounts and am afk-ing both right now. i ran the event probably 12 times today. got booted and missed a couple. they owe me for the blue/black screens.

Clearly no platform is safe from the Angry Nukers 😆 Fastnacht was hit on PC today, and I just waited it out, I had already removed all junk so there was nothing to rush back in for, I wanted the screen shots of the Nuke falling on the town, honestly nuking the event is pointless, cannot even get a good harvest of nuked flora from it. when I saw the nuke was inbound I just put my Chinese Stealth Armour on and ran back to my spot to end the event, few if any others left, but it did look odd in the last 20 seconds before the nuke hit how the town went real quiet...

I sleep, I afk 👀

duel bar chainsaw them into the river if you can, they mite have loot on them.

I got a glowing mask when someone nuked the site.

we get two runs of the fasnacht every hr, using 2 private servers, i wont do events for the afk ppl

I'm gonna retry this and see if I can do it throughout tomorrow

Tried to AFK once, I guess that was what everyone else was doing too. Event failed.

You get rewards even if you die

Unfortunately I have to work and can only play like 2 times a week for like 3 hours I’ll try afk hopefully I don’t make anyone mad

I just use a hair band on the right joystick. While playing an instrument this just spins the camera and keeps you from dcing

Now im gonna try this for the First time

My kontroller keep kuttin off and i figure out why

Guess i'll solo run all silos so nobody can launch there

I thought dying didnt matter that you still get rewards and if anything death is better cuz food cant go rotten?

How do I afk at a instrument on pc with a controller.

Also use alt's on separate accounts to double your chances

this guy is so underrated in just how his videos are edited and overall how he portrays his point and still makes the video enjoyable to watch

I literally NUKE AFK’ers. It pisses me off

Honestly there is afk players but players will do anything just to get a rare mask....thats why sometimes ppl nuke just to try something different...or slow walk the whole march!!!

Came here just for the "How To," skipped straight to it at first, but ended up going back to the beginning and watching it all purely 'cause of the video quality.

I triple love this video thank you 😅

You are going AFK the wrong way if getting nuked disrupts it. Kill yourself inside of the event area when it's not active, select respawn, go to the respawn map, don't respawn and then initiate your AFK controls on the respawn map. You will still collect rewards and be completely unaffected by attempts from players to punt you from the event area, even if they nuke the event. PS: Game freezes, crashes and bad internet connections can still happen and obviously remove you from the server

I been nuking the afk players like it's ridiculous, like a server had 11 and yes I counted

I can't lie I was one of those people who would get upset about the afk people getting rewards for doing nothing, until I remembered the fact that at one point I had to work out of town for the entire work week and would work 9 to 10 hours a day. Meaning people like that cant do the event but like 2 or 3 times actually playing, and than it becomes a chore not a game. Now I afk just to make the people that drop nukes mad.

In the last event i did there was 20 at the event and 17 were afk and the event was difficult when the super mutants came out but everyone got a mask, all those who did nothing... and not a single one was playing an instrument at the band stand.

I have all rare masks to sell in my vending machine, Obeleitor is my in game name 😌

One love to the people who been stopped playing this game.

I love you.... Wait.... Can i say that? Yes.... I am committed now....❤ Also yes, afk is literally the only way to get the masks after playing this game cinse beta.... And farming literally EVERYTHING ELSE.

Nuking afk players is so much fun 😂🎉

I don't like the AFK thing and have been even soloing the event, but a few days ago, the damn game started freezing every single time i join the event. (XBOX) So now i'm thinking if i want masks i have no choice. if i move it freezes.

I've enjoyed nuking the event the past couple of years. It's a rich source for flux raw materials and most players have CSA or PA so they don't mind; even new players can use hazmat suits and get along swimmingly. After I scour the area between events, I hop servers and do it again. The side effect is that it does clear AFKers, but I chalk that up to them being in the wrong place at the wrong time. ☢ I haven't nuked the event this year because I'm on hiatus between seasons. I never wear Fasnacht masks and the new masks aren't compelling enough to entice me to play.

I've tried to afk an my controller keeps disconnecting even with rubber banding them and plugging my controller in, such a struggle indeed

Stick drift for a mask 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or it dashboards during the event out of random.

But if there are no player's to start the event it would be karma

😂 love jumping servers dragging enemies to afk people or nuking them

4:50 attention goofballs if you don’t have a rubber band just put the controller upsidedown on your table so the movement stick it up so you move

After having my controller afk for a while, it turns off regardless of rubber bands, usb connection, or anything. Yet I see many other people spinning for hours and not having their controller shut off? Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Wish xbox let let me play with mouse and keyboard for 76. Could just put a weight on my w key

Or you could just die when event isnt active and band your thumbstick to spin, this way nukes cant stop you either

there is a streamer telling everyone to nuke the area to purge the afk people

sometimes if you die, you keep getting rewards. for hours even. i've seen guys killing themselves on purpose to do this. i'm not 100% sure how it works.

Collecting rewards while others earn them for afk,ers

I'm usually in a corner in time out . But my reason is , 12 hour rotating shifts . Also this ONCE PER YEAR event unfortunately fell on an outage at work . But I'm " remote playing " it on my iPad with my works peasant Wi-Fi . So ill pop a couple of lunchboxes and go back into my corner because that's the only way my game wont crash . BUT when I'm home , i repay my depts.

If no one starts the event do afk still get a reward? I was at an event with 10 afkers and only 2 of us on deck. We both left and did not start the event.

I just kept hopping servers until I got the glowing scorch queen mask

Only time I ever afk is when I'm sleeping. When I'm not, I'm very hands-on with the event.

So, people want to nuke a few afk players who rob space for people to actually participate, just so that they can rob newer players and a lot *more* people from participating in the event? How is this logical?

Legit had no luck actually playing every event but the FIRST event I ever afked I got the loon mask 💯💯 fck actually doing the event at this point🤣 my rubber band is strong for the next week

I spent days playing the event and got garbage. I afkd 3 events playing instruments and got a blue devil, a hag and a death claw. What's the thing about music in this event

And I'll do it again......😂😂😂

Everyone was just hanging out AFK (besides me) and we failed lol 13 players AFKed lol

I have pushed many AFK out of the event space. Haven’t nuked it though.

This event is designed to NEVER have you get all the masks EVEN if you AFK. So there is no reason to be upset by those AFK people, who are only wasting their time and the joke's on them. You can only play the event 336 times total (24 times per day times 14 days) even if you AFK. But you are expected to play 959 times to get all 5 new rare masks. If you've already got 16 of the 21 rare masks, the chance to get the 17th is 0.238% x 5 = 1.19%, and that will take 84 tries (1 / 1.19% = 84). To get the 18th, you have 0.238% x 4 = 0.952% = 105 tries. 19th = 0.238% x 3 = 0.714% = 140 tries. 20th = 0.238% x 2 = 0.476% = 210 tries. And the last one, 0.238% x 1 = 420 tries. Add them all up, 84 + 105 + 140 + 210 + 420 = 959 is expected number of tries you need to get the 5 new rare masks. Bethesda doesn't have to do A THING, because AFK will never work. That's why so many people are still play this event -- because a majority of them still haven't got all the masks.
