Hey, thank you for showing interest in running 76! In order to keep things as fair as possible no mods are allowed, and Bethesda are quite strict on using external apps such as cheat engine so it's risky using them at all. The only exception I guess would be having custom loading screens images.
Using gameplay affecting purchases, for example camp/weapon plans and consumables isn't allowed however outfits won't invalidate a run as it is very easy to accidentally craft yourself an outfit that doesn't affect the gameplay. If you do get consumables through an in game event on the other hand they'd be okay to use. You can use the 1 survival tent that comes with fallout 1st and only the 1 camp all players can place.
As a general rule, assume that if you couldn't theoretically recreate the run on a brand new character, it would be unfair to other runners, this is why every category starts on a brand new character, to make it as fair as possible for everyone. Hope this clears things up and we can look forward to seeing a run soon!
I updated the wording of the category rules to clarify, I didn't realise the wording was vague until you pointed it out to me so many thanks, hopefully it's clearer now.
You suggested this days before they said they're ending NW 😭
If that strat does work on pc if definitely won't be banned, that's a cool glitch for sure, I wonder how many other tournaments this kind of strat would work on 🤔
