Now The Overpowered 'Frog Legs' In Fallout 76 Are Dominating Battle Royale Mode


  Nuclear Winter, Fallout 76's battle royale mode, lets gamers go into matches with customized perk loadout that grants them all kinds of advantages in battle. Gamers enjoying the game's early "pre-beta" version are finding that some of those perks are incredibly overpowered, especially one named Frog Legs.

  In Fallout 76 game, Frog Legs allows gamers to jump 300% higher than normal. At first, that might not seem like a big deal, but it has not taken players long to discover the interesting possibilities for death and destruction that this special ability opens up. One you got Frog Legs equipped, that means you are able to hop across rooftops, dodge incoming enemy firepower, and then rain down bullets on unsuspecting opponents below.

  What's more, the perk could be even deadlier when combined with Demolition Expert. which increases damage by 80%, and for Grenadier, which doubles the blast radius of explosives. Coupled with a grenade launcher, the so-called "demo frog" meta can be amazingly powerful. For those on the receiving end, it could feel downright unfair, if not completely unstoppable.

  A Reddit user named Jokenstein27 in a post on the Fallout 76's subreddit last week and said: "I'm annoyed but also laughing because it's ridiculous. The one time I felt confident during a match, some guy killed my dreams hoping around with a grenade launcher, then he rekted my other teammates trying to play hunt duck.

  The latest Nuclear Winter, just like the rest of Fallout 76, can feel a little clunky. It's full of jerky movements and little hang-ups that constantly remind you that you are playing Fallout 76 with battle royale rules, not Apex Legends in a radioactive hellscape. Cause Frog Legs greatly enhances a player's mobility and control, and it also helps smooth over that divide. But, meanwhile, it also draws a stark contrast between the player who have it and those who do not, just like a GoldenEye 007 player were forced to fight someone in Unreal Tournament.

  The chorus of calls for Bethesda to nerf Frog Legs, or temporarily remove it from the mode altogether, in recent days has grown as more players have already encountered it out in the wild. Unlike some overpowered best Fallout 76 legendary weapons in other battle royale games, one of the more pernicious things about Frog Legs is that not everyone has access to it.

  In the game of Fallout 76, at the very beginning, players need to start Nuclear Winter at level one with a set of perk cards. From over there, they earn random new perks cards every time they level up by finishing matches. Therefore, it's possible that someone at a very low level might be lucky and then get Frog Legs right away. Also, it's equally possible that someone at a much higher level might still be waiting to get this.

  That's the case for one Fallout 76 player on the subreddit who goes by AVxVoid, here is what they wrote over the weekend: “I'm currently level 105 without Bloody Mess, Demolition Expert, Frog Legs, Dodgy, Armor Pen on anything, nor a myriad of other perks necessary to complete more esoteric builds.”

  The problem now is complicated by the fact that it is possible to get duplicate perk cards, and that perk cards, in fact, can stop dropping every level after you reach 13. By you get to level 20, they only drop with every four levels gained. If you do not have many of the perk cards you want by then, the game basically incentivizes you to start a new character and then begin to rank up all over again — at least, if you want to try to pursue some of the mode's more interesting and powerful character builds.

  Now because Nuclear Winter is still in its "pre-beta" early days, much will change as the months pass by. Will Frog Legs? Feedback on Frog Legs now is already being shared with the development team, according to Bethesda community manager Jonny Rose. Sincerely hope that means the perk would get dilated back a little, or at the very least, Nuclear Winter's progression system will get tweaked so more players can play Fallout 76 just like it was Crackdown.
