    This glitch still works as of December 2. I have done this on the Windows 10 version but messed up but thankfully got to Friendly!

    The glitch may bug out on you and or have some RNG with the raider as I had trouble twice with them. For example I couldn’t talk to them and killed them but it resulted in a lie towards Rocksy

    Credit goes to DemonAsylum on YouTube!!!


    This is a glitch to max out the Raider Reputation within The Crater and it is done through the Daily Mission: Retirement Plan.

    *YOU CAN ONLY GET ONE DAILY QUEST A DAY AND MAY GET THE OTHER DAILY QUEST(Importance of Communication)*

    You are tasked to talk to Rocksy about a Raider who left and must be killed.

    After talking with Rocksy, you will want to confront the raider and choose the [ATTACK] option when speaking to the raider. After killing the raider, you will want to head back to The Crater to speak to Rocksy.

    *PAY ATTENTION*

    Talk to Rocksy and choose "Appalachia has a new corpse"-RIGHT AFTER YOU HIT THIS DIALOUGE, BACK OUT. you should receive Reputation points and the mission will not end. repeat the process over and over.

    Steps simplified.
    1. Get Retirement Plan Daily Mission/Quest(If given the other mission, complete it and wait until the next day.)
    2. Talk to Rocksy about the Raider.
    3. Confront the Raider and Attack.
    4. Report back/talk to Rocksy.
    5. "Appalachia has a new corpse"
    6. Quickly back out of the conversation after saying the dialoug.
    7. Repeat steps 4-6.

    This is the fastest method as of April 24, 2020

    Reputation Levels:
    Neutral
    Cooperative
    Friendly
    Neighbourly
    Ally

    EDIT:
    1. When you hit neighbourly, you only need to reach Ally and you are done. No Reputation points are needed past Ally as Ally is the max point/peak.
    2. RadioactiveSkin reported that other players may mess up the glitch so if you can get a private world off a friend, try that, otherwise hope that no one bothers your method.
    3. If the raider is surrounded, try your best to clear the enemies first before the raider could potentially die, which you do not want! (Lie option will appear and will not allow the glitch to work!)
    4. Switching servers may fix your issue if the bar is not increasing.

    fabian907I got a love/hate relationship with this glitch

    FoolsAndKingsStill works as of 19th July 23. I even pressed "It's done" a few times, but always backed out in order to not get full dialog. Also moved servers about 4 times. The last few levels go very slowly. Took about 1 hour altogether. +1

    BlitzGreg89Still works but I've been unlucky. I either mess up by going too quickly or too slowly. Then when I try again the day its available the raider gets killed by a random enemy before I can kill them. Will keep trying of course.

    Note: There has been a glitch discovered that ONLY WORKS ON THE RAIDER FACTION (As far as myself and others are concerned) but this does require a few small things before you can use it.....
    1. Get to level 20
    2. see the overseer and complete every mission till you have to meet each faction leader (Paige(Foundation/Settlers) and Meg(Crater/Raiders)).
    Go to Meg (Raider Leader) and follow the video:

    EDIT!: Thanks to another user a less time consuming way was discovered by abusing one of the "Daily quests" titled "Retirement Plan".
    This method has now been patched as of 4/28 :(

    There are a few other ways:
    OverSeer's robot has a daily photo challenge: Go see him everyday and choose the opposite faction you want rep for. EX: If you want Foundation REP choose raiders, take pictures and give it to the foundation guy.

    Random Encounters (2 Spots, just server hop (leave the game to main menu, click play, adventure), and repeat till you find the faction you want the rep for!

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ycZJzw_TU

    There are 7 Reputation tiers: Hostile (only the raiders will start in this one), Cautious, Neutral, Cooperative, Friendly, Neighborly, Ally.

    Reputation: It takes longer to gain rep the higher you are in the "Tier list"
    Here is the amount of time it took (yes i timed myself and I hate myself for that).

    Cautious: -> Neutral (30 Minutes)
    Neutral -> Cooperative (45 Minutes - 1 Hour)
    Cooperative -> Friendly (2.3 Hours)
    Friendly -> Neighborly (3.1 Hours)
    Neighborly -> Ally (3.8 HOURS!)

    This is if you quickly spam "A" and "B" at the right time without messing up.

    That's pretty much it, I gave you guys a glitch for raiders (Personal Ammo producer is unlocked at ally and can help you out with foundations quests), and a video describing 2 locations to grind, and some tips.

    I hope all of this helps! Good luck and happy grinding cause I HATE myself for getting this achievement.

    DritnulEdit: seeing that Rocksy quest is still working for some, but it won't work if former raider is killed by wildlife, or if she is sitting.

    AssK69This was working 12 hours ago. Anybody know if it is still working, post May 5 update?

    LostGamesThis glitch is still working from what I can gather on Fallout 76 discord servers.

    Fallout 76 has 2 opposite factions that you need to meet and carry out tasks for during the main story-line. There comes a point where you have to choose a chosen faction to carry on the story-line with, however i advise you complete all the build up missions for both before making your choice.

    So you have completed all missions for both factions up to the story-line choice and then all the remainder after, it should leave you with one at friendly and one neutral.

    Rep ranks you will need to pass through:
    Neutral
    Cooperative
    Friendly
    Neighbourly
    Ally

    To raise your reputation higher you now need to start the slow climb using dailies and random events.

    Craters dailies (only one of the 2 given each day):

    Retirement plan given by Rocksy has you tracking down a raider deserter with the optional objective of finding the hunters already tracking them down first. If you have high strength i advise taking the time to do the optional task as convincing them to raid the settlers can provide extra rep. No matter if you chose to find the hunters or not the remaining steps are the same. Go find the deserter either convince them to return or kill them (that is if they are still alive).

    Importance of communication given by Wren has you going to a random area to pick up 3 vacuum tubes. Once collected you need to head to a repair bench to fix them up and simply hand them back in.

    You can also hand in Mirelurk queen meet at Ohio river adventures after completing a small mission to defend the place.

    Other than that its currently just a case of wondering around siding with raiders at any random event you stumble across.

    For those choosing to do just one of the faction but are not sure which, choosing Crater allows purchase of the following from their gold bar vendor.

    Gauss Minigun (ally rank)
    Ammo Refab tool (ally rank)
    Compound Bow (ally rank)
    Dynamite
    Backpack mods
    Floater grenades

    If anyone has any more ways they have discovered please feel free to leave in the comments and ill update on here. Any down voters also please leave a comment on what i can improve.

    Thankyou for the following update:

    LostGames - Update 2: it looks like once you reach friendly, and neighbourly it's 2x's the amount of rep....

    B4LL15T1C xBRxIf you do all of the quests for both factions before choosing one at the end, does the rep reset for the one you didn't choose to share with? Meaning we would have to start the climb back up from the beginning for that faction?

    Divinefury21790mine stayed as it was, so i assume thats the same for everybody
    Posted by Divinefury21790 on 27 Apr 20 at 09:23
    ZalexzyI think figured out what I did wrong:
    After backing out you need to talk right away again, back out, talk etc. keep it going.

    If you have pause there or spam too much to open pip-boy it likely causes quest to auto finish with too long pause. I hope new patch didn't fix glitch, and can test it tomorrow and finish this.
