So something that I only recently learned that I think should be mentioned on a list like this: When hacking in FO4, if you select symbols that are paired (for example ( ) , [ ] , or < > ), it will delete an incorrect password from the list and if you select { } it will reset your attempts. I've been playing Fallout games since they released and never knew this until recently.
I was not a fallout 4 fan, nor a needless difficulty fan… then survival mode dropped and it became one of my favorite Fallout experiences. Focusing on exploration, needing to pay attention to my settlements to get places to hold my stuff, memorizing bed locations and food/water changed it entirely for me to really be an experience of the end of the world
This. I liked the game before I played it on survival but once I tried it on survival THAT is how this game is meant to be experienced imo. It's challenging and it makes settlements and stuff like that matter so much more since there's no fast travel and you have to drink food and water and you can only save when you sleep in a bed. It's so much more enjoyable than any other difficulty. You have to plan your routes and actually strategize instead of just fast traveling everywhere or being able to quick save at anytime or carry 100000 rounds of ammo for that matter. All of that goes out the window...so much better I agree 10000%
I'm about 70 hours in on survival but after 10 hours I had to dl the autosave mod, I don't have enough time in the week to replay an hours playtime 3 times 😂
Same. I don't think I can play it any other way. I like it because it forced me to use skills I normally wouldn't even touch. It was a struggle at the start, but around level 12, the difficulty dropped some since I chose those skills. I'm surprised they didn't add the need for weapon repair like in 76.
Missile turrets can be placed really high using multiple sets of wooden stairs and when you're done powering them up you can delete the stairs and the section of floor that they are placed on. That gives you turrets that have 360-degree fields of fire, that can shoot downwards if they have to without damaging themselves. I call them "missile kites".
i found this on speccy island, i have loads of hovering turrets there, i also concrete blocked the area where raiders spawn so they are trapped inside a wall of turrets. i realised this while trying to stack concrete blocks and using stairs to reach, just snap a floor to some stairs, place turrets, remove stairs and blocks, presto hover turrets.
@@SnorrioK Sure they can. I usually keep raiding the mercs at the Parsons Insane Asylum and taking their armor pieces because I like the better protection it offers. Gunners usually wear the same thing. Leather or metal armor is easier to find though. To equip an item just tell them you want to trade and press "y" (I use an Xbox sorry) over the thing you want them to use/wear. Have fun you're playing the best game ever made
I'll see your shotgun headshot and raise you sniping the nuke in a Super Mutant Suicider's hand while he's still standing next to his buddies... truly never gets old
About the jetpack. Just get some Nuka Cola Quantum and have it quickselected. It replenishes your AP so you can just spam that and go as far as your fusion core allows.
I set bath tubs down in an empty home and fill each tub with a flavor of Nuka Cola. I never sell or use the Nuka Cola I find, it goes in my tubs. I now have two houses full of tubs each filled with a specific flavor of Cola. I love this game.
Hold R after grabbing an item will let you throw stuff. Also Survival mode and the jank cover system results in tons of head injuries if you don't have head armor
2:20 - _Bang!_ I love that the demonstration of the cover system also includes the typical outcome of trying to use it: namely the shot hitting the incredibly sloppy collision box of the thing you're taking cover behind, right in front of your face, even though the barrel of the gun is shown _inarguably_ clear of the obstacle, with a clear line of sight to the target.
You can use power armor without a fusion core, you can use a dead body to carry with infinite carry weight and chop a piece of it off and carry it around
The body idea doesn't work all that well. I've tried it before and it is only really helpful if you aren't carrying stuff for long distances. Because even if you are carrying a chunk of a body, it seems that once you carry it so far, it just despawns/disappears.
Just tell your followers to pick it up it's a little annoying doing it 90 times but I've had my companion carry 5000 lbs of stuff just for fun while I'm at my 40ish I travel light
First time I found out about grenade vats was fallout new vegas when I vats'd a dynamite stick immediately after a powder ganger lobbed it. Quickest goodsprings showdown, ever.
Can someone explain what he means by being able to hit the grenade automatically when it lands? I know about targeting grenades but I don't understand that other part, that's new to me.
Also with targeting grenades in VATS you pretty much need to use a critical otherwise you're likely to miss the grenade in most situations. This limits the usefulness because there are usually better things to save your criticals for, especially if you can only bank one critical.
@@gilgamecha Ok, what they are talking about in the video is taking advantage of the slow motion effect from VATS to control your grenades' bounce. Assuming your grenade has touched the ground at least once, it will go off where it is when your first VATS attack is made. You don't need to target the grenade, it is just a quirk of VATS and the interaction of a timer that should of already triggered the grenade but things don't happen for your grenade until you take action in VATS. This has no special effect on enemy grenades. You can shoot them, but if you want too long enemy grenades will go off.
I started doing something fun in fallout 4; I installed the Synth Fabricator mod and I’ve been building an army of Preston Garveys! Each Preston synth is armed and sent to the different settlements to serve as defenders! No longer will settlements need help
I did this with the robot DLC, sent robots to my favorite settlements to work and protect. Unfortunately, settlements get attacked in an unrealistic way that merely decides whether they will succeed or fail at defending independently of how heavily defended the settlement is, so all of my work was basically meaningless. Still had fun populating the commonwealth with robots, but damn do I wish they could somehow simulate the settlement battles offscreen in a way that was reasonably consistent with the defenses you set up.
I just noticed the body slam animation a couple of weeks ago when Curie (as a human) had body slammed a raider. That was the funniest thing I had seen in a while, lol!
I'm always surprised when I see people don't change the HUD/Pipboy color. It makes hacking and reading so much easier, and also makes your pipboy light actually useful in dark situations. Can't play with it the default green.
Also, I'm sure you're aware that if you press [Interact] while grabbing something, you'll just drop it. But did you know that if you press [Reload], you'll throw the object away from you? And the longer you hold the button/key, the farther you can throw it, up to a point.
I've done it before, I forget why now, but I wanted more cars in a settlement (probably Starlight Drive-in). Mannequins work better, they don't flop around.

You can actually use *any* grabbed object to move any heavy object. It doesn't have to be a corpse. It can be a tin can. Or a weapon you dropped and grabbed. Rifles are good because they are long and pointy.
If carrying Power Armor parts/pieces overcumbers you, you can shoot these parts while still attached on a power armor base frame, reducing their condition to zero. Zero Power armor parts/pieces have no weight. However, you can't directly mount a zero conditioned parts. To use or mount these again to a base frame, just repair it to a power armor station. Tried this technique to distribute my power armors conveniently throughout my settlements in Survival Mode.
A trick for easy Fat man and mini nuke: go to the weapon shop in Goodnighbour. The assultron shop keeper never seems to get agro'd buy picking up the mini nuke and fat man that spawn on the shelves behind her. Just pick em up, take em upstairs, crouch, and steal them. Keep the nuke, sell the fat man, and you get an easy guaranteed little pile of caps whenever the items respawn!
When the mayor calls them to the meeting after the first interaction, they just leave their shops open for some reason so you can just walk in a steal them as well
Something that I didn’t learn until this year (2024), is that if you’re running low on space in a settlement and want to build more, drop weapons from your inventory, then enter workshop mode and store the dropped weapons. This counts as removing something from the settlement, and you can take your weapons back from the workshop and repeat this trick infinitely to allow more things to be built. The bigger weapons like miniguns free up more settlement building space, but every weapon can contribute to this trick.
I found out recently by just messing around you can play basketball. Hold the grab button to pick up any item preferably a basketball. If you tap the reload button you'll throw an item. The longer you hold the throw button the farther it'll go. Build a basketball goal and coincidentally the basketball will go through the hoop, not to mention ball bounces as well. Lol.
The 3rd person takedown animations were something that I was sure was going to be in Starfield and when they weren't I was pissed. Starfield just disappointed me in the melee department. And no gore and dismemberment. WTF
Bethesda's plan to make their games "more accessible" to people who weren't already fans and get younger kids involved I guess 🤷♂️ Starfield has its merits, but it's a watered down version of what we all expected as you said. Hopefully console mods will change it for those of us that aren't of the "PC Master Race" 😂
both FO4 and starfield disappointed me in the melee department, i mean hell they did melee so right in skyrim and they couldn't replicate the same thing in FO4? like picture this for a second, you are holding a pistol in your right hand and holding some kind of shield in your left hand, and both can be used simultaneously, but no, it's simply not possible in either game, and they both use the same ass animation for the blocking mechanic, it's so dumb. how did they make skyrim so much better for both options? like they could make it an option in how the gun functioned, like put in some kind of flag that allows blocking with the left trigger and you can also aim at the same time depending on what kind of shield your using, i suppose the only thing that might not look good is the reload animation, but who cares when they never make legs in first person in their games anyhow?
I loved the idea of having your own faction but hated feeling like the only dude in the whole faction lol. Really wish you could send squads out to some of the settlement defense events to save some time. I'm still playing fallout 3 on the verge of battling the mutant scourge
A known trick, but maybe someone hasn't heard it yet: you can carry unlimited weight. Instead of giving the items to your companion, just command them to pick it up from the ground/container. This way they can carry an unlimited amount of items. Very useful on survival mode.
You can also carry a torso around, it shouldn't despawn. Its not gonna work going through loading zones but at least you can carry stuff around for a while. Limbs don't really work, its gotta be a torso
Using the fetch trick with companions there is a risk it will glitch out and their entire inventory is permanently lost. So don't do it with anything too valuable or unique.
I made a point of collecting all the powerarmer I could. Never used it in the game, just showcased it at base. It was fun working out ways to steal it. Oh I also did the same with Nuka Cola
I did the same thing with power armor. Due to an irrational aversion to repetitive maintenance chores, the extra hassle of needing to worry about replacing power cores and also keeping them repaired meant they ended up feeling like more trouble than the added defense and tiny jetpack spurts was worth. If a game wants me to choose the option that needs more maintenance and thought applied, the benefits need to be higher than that. (Same reason I so rarely use temporary, manually activated buffs in most any games. I get so tired of reactivating them over and over, and having to keep whether or not they've expired yet in mind.) Also, the added power armor sound effects add to the big bulky walking tank vibe, but they also get old pretty fast. And I prefer the non-armor HUD too.
If you are fast enough, you can grab the cooking station from the church outside of your settlement area at Jamaica Plain and place it within the boundary before the workshop mode times out. Then when you restart workshop mode, you can place it anywhere in the settlement that you like. So far, it is the only crafting station that I have found that is close enough to a settlement border to do this.
I'm 30 hours into my latest bout of Fallout 4, that in addition to the 140 hours I played back at launch. I'm addicted and I hate it but I love it. I never thought I would get back into Fallout 4. I wish so bad Startfield would have just been Fallout 5 fk. Such a missed opportunity.
Agreed. I don't know how anyone thought that "exploring thousands of desolate procedurally generated planets" would be a fun experience... It sounds cool until you think about it for more then 30 seconds. No thanks. I'll take a smaller detailed and handcrafted world over that crap.
Having extra power armor is actually really useful BECAUSE... you can simply leave it around your settlements and the settlers will get in and use it during attacks.
For #2 - If you turn up the difficulty to very hard before you enter another zone, then enter the zone. You can then turn down the difficulty and your immediate vicinity will still have the higher legendary chance, because spawning has already been determined.
@@RiderOftheNorth1968What's it matter? If you have already played the game once, and want to play it again what's the difference. I'm playing New Vegas ATM. Using commands when I need to. I don't care already put 150 hours in my first play through years ago with no cheats. Ain't nobody got time for that!
@@MissMedusa2000 I guess it is depending if you are actually wanting to play the game or just, childishly, looking for instant gratification. But i get you: New Vegas is not worth a second playthru and you are just a kid.
@@RiderOftheNorth1968 Things to do , kids to take care of, work , school, rent, bills, etc. Childish things take my time I know. I really need to start being responsible like you. I love it when people are just randomly insulting for no reason. Please ask me to be your wife.
Thank you, Jake! I just started my I don’t even know what play through and I’m a good 10 hours in. Enjoying the game more than I ever have and having a blast. The fallout games have always been my favorite. Seeing this huge resurgence and fallout is literally amazing.
FO4 has aged surprisingly well. Then there are the mods, one being that switches to FP when equipping a firearm, and staying or switching back to 3rd when holstering a firearm or equipping a melee weapon.
Set out to play a vampire on my current run. Perks like Night Person, Cannibal, etc. Was all sneaky-like. Then I discovered the joy of hacking people up with a machete while wearing power armor. Just this hulking menace methodically stomping through raider compounds with choppy action. Still a vampire, just a scarier one. Raider: "You think I'm scared?" plink plink plink of shots hitting my armor Slow motion VATS angle of a severed head sailing by. I might team up with Strong so it's like Dracula and Frankenstein in the post-apocalypse. Thunder buddies for life!
you can duplicate your materials at your settlement workshop, just transfer the chosen material to your inventory, drop it on the floor and then, in build mode quickly press scrap and store (on PS5: quickly slide your thumb from square to circle, holding circle to scrap the item, and letting go to store the item) and you'll find you've doubled the materials you originally had
Tip for newbies: scrap your items. If you just use the item from the workshop inventory, it will be destroyed just to get 1 component. And go playing on survival mode. It's way to more funnier
Not true. If you throw the scrap into a settlement workstation, the remaining components will still be available. It's only if you break it down at a work bench outside of a settlement that you lose components. I used to think the same thing, but it was just misinformation floating around the internet, probably from people who didn't know the difference of how work benches work at different locations. I've proved to myself that it works the way it's supposed to.
The animations are what makes melee combat so satisfying in Fallout 4. Is it perfect? No, obviously it's not a fighting game lol but melee in this game is especially brutal
The power attack button is activated by holding the right trigger (or R2) when unarmed or with a melee weapon. It was a nice tip but with two extra seconds you could have given the complete information. I personally like to aim for the grenades on the suicidal mutants.
But, can you hold down the button twice? It might be too slow to make it work having g to hold the button twice instead of tapping a button key twice. I'm going to try it.
Almost didnt watch this because I thought I knew everything about Fallout 4 after all my years playing it. Manually triggering body slam, literally the first mention, this really is a game that keeps on giving. ❤️
I'm not sure if it's available on console, but Sim Settlements 2 is one of the greatest mods ever made. It's a must install mod every time I return to Fallout 4
Running Bloodied builds on FO76 taught me very well about the Ghoul-Boy. I saw it so often that I actually got caught off guard to see his regular face when I started a new FO4 play through.
Couple of things that would make the game better: 1. Power Armor locked until later in the game like in Fallout 3 and NV. 2. Skyrim style skill level up system or like Kingdom Come Deliverance where you have to actually PRACTICE and DO the skill to level it up. You can't just dump a ton into sneak to pickpocket everyone, you have to get good at it.
Great tips, but wrong on one. If you hold over an object you want to steal, press X or whatever, you can hold the object, take it to any place near by that is isolated, drop and pick up to your inventory. If no one sees it you are fine. I always steal the Nuka Cola from the robot in Diamond City and the mini nuke from the robot vendor in Good Neighbor! I pick up the nuke and take it around to the alley ,drop and pick up. Even works on the vendor on board the Pryden. Once you pick the lock on his door you can slowly rob the.place , if you put a bucket on hid head, harder than it sounds, you can also get a way with anything.
Right, There's no mechanic for clearing the "stolen" tag from power armor suits. Every time you get in to it, or remove an armor piece/fusion core, it technically counts as stealing, so if there's a companion around (or alot say at a settlement or something) they will ALL respond to the theft accordingly...
Take the armor plates of the power suit and dump the skeleton rig. I'm lvl 20-ish and already got 5 power armor suits without trying. 1 was stolen but I just took the armor plates from it
The coolest one I found exists across all FO games in the Hacking mini game. There are hidden pieces of code that when you highlight and select it will either A) Remove a wrong choice, or B) replenish your attempts back to 4.
I've played well over 1000 hours of Fallout 4, thanks to the modding community, and never knew about this. It's a much better tip than anything in this video, which mainly covered exploits rather than features anyway, and I'm definitely going to make use of this. Cheers
@@MrMarcusIndialol I had played FO3 and New Vegas several times before I found it. I went back and checked and yes it's in those games as well. Look for random strings surrounded by any kind of bracket. ( ) , { }, , ect... sometimes there's be a secret code embedded in a secret code. And it can be two characters long or several. But they will always be surrounded by one of the bracket types.
@@benwinegarner4797 You don't need to visually scan for them. Just run your cursor across the lines. When it hits one, it will make the same fast-typing noise as when you go over a password (real or fake).
Idc what anyone says. Fo4 is the best fallout. Period. There's so many different ways to play the game and you can just play it through over and over and also spend hours just building a settlement to your liking.
I know this is a month old but man this is something I didn’t know. If you go to the church in diamond city ( across from publick occurrences ) and then talk to the pastor while he is standing at the pedestal, he will allow you to sit and pray at the pew. If you sit at the pew for a little bit, you can get a temporary 5% XP rate
I will never apologise for 4 being my fave fallout the amount of fun I have playing it is unreal Weapon modding build crafting settlement fun the quest designs exploration its always a good time
Nice tips! Didn't know these, but I knew it is possible to make the companions carry more then their carrying capacity by make them pick itens for you. That fearure is present in Skyrim too
The only problem that doesn’t make the cover system work that well is that anything that fires a bullet is a hitscan weapon in Fallout 4 and guaranteed to hit as long as you’re within sight line. Plasma, Fatman, Grenades, Mines, Missiles, Molotovs, Railway Spike Launcher, Flamethrower Launcher and Junk Jet are projectiles with travel time that it might help with but if my recent playthrough is any indication, it’s negligible at best. I’m unsure what category Lasers fall into though, cause it seems like there’s travel time, but I could be wrong.
Also for those who may not know, Dogmeat doesn't actually count as a companion as far as perks go for whatever reason. As such, you can get all the benefits from putting points into the Lone Wanderer perk and also have Dogmeat with you for a little extra assistance on top of that.
I’ve actually noticed that the deathclaws don’t do their grab attack if you’re in third person view! Very helpful if you somehow manage to get swarmed by thirty at once.
about number 6 you can also just shoot the Fusion core on the back of power Armor in v.a.t.s but you won't get but a Fusion core but npc will get out of the power armor /power frame all that need will is a replacement core. safer then trying to steal a core from "metal murder man" / someone wearing power armor.
@@Savagetechiedefinitely. Even with the jetpack I never use it. Once I get the two leg armor pieces that give +10% movement speed and "The Captain's Hat" and Marine armor, right arm, that give another 20%, it's just too slow to use power armor.
First time giving a sub, based on only one video. After 2.2K hrs. of playing FO4, it's pretty rare to find new tips and tricks. I just learned 8/10. All presented in a calm and fun way.
@@Heyybrowusup I considered survival mode for my first playthrough. Only thing that put me off was that hunger and thirst thing. Does it get in the way much? Coz I'd like to give survival a go.
@@mujariwa3696 In my opinion, Survival is great because it makes a lot of features in the base game actually useful. Most people don't really build settlements outside of the times you need to for quests/missions. But in Survival Mode, no only is Fast Travel disabled (unless you use a Vertibird) but you can only save your game if you sleep in a bed. Plus your settlements can provide you with sources of food/water which will be a necessity in Survival Mode. Also...most people don't seem to really worry all that much about cooking in the base game. But in Survival Mode, it becomes crucial in helping remove rads from some of the food as well as providing helpful buffs. Another neat trick that is in Survival Mode that isn't in the base game, is that you can take empty bottles and refill them at any water source. If you fill them up in a puddle, it gives you Dirty Water but if you refill them at one of your water pumps in your settlements, it gives you Purified Water.
Alternatively, even if your sided with BoS, just make sure you’re [hidden] and you can crit the fusion core, causing a massive explosion, and a few moments after the knight will leave the suit of Armor. Simply pick him off or wait for him to walk away and it’s yours. Just make sure to have a couple cores on you at all times. I’m a survival player and 2 should be enough to walk most of the most of the map. Walk. Not “drive it like it’s a shopping cart” lol.
I just recently started replaying Fallout 4 VR with some quality of life mods and man, I don't know if I just don't remember the game well or genuinely missed a ton, but I'm realizing so many little details and hidden items and interesting characters now that I couldn't recall. I enjoyed it way back then, but it's a better game than I think I gave it credit for
Another tip when it comes to VATSing grenades is they don't even have to be your own grenades. If you are fast enough with your VATS, you can target grenades in enemy hands and shoot them to blow them up before the enemy gets the chance to throw them at you. Been something you've been able to do since Fallout 3. Another tip in relation to Deathclaws: You can get them, and many other creatures to defend your settlements. Though it requires the right perks to do so. For the Deathclaws specifically, I believe you need to have some ranks in the Wasteland Whisperer perk which allows you to attempt to pacify/command creatures like Deathclaws while aiming at them. Then you just need to build the Deathclaw cages/traps in your settlements. And if you have the right perks, you can also build these Sonic Emitter structures around your settlements that will pacify the hostile creatures you capture in the cages. If done correctly, you can let the creatures out of their cages and they will just wander around your settlements as nonhostile creatures. Not only that, but they add to your settlements Defense stat and will help defend your settlement if it gets attacked. Be warned though, if you do this with certain creatures like Deathclaws...it increases the chances of having wild Deathclaws to attack that settlement.
I remember having deathclaws defending sanctuary for me. I must have had 25 deathclaws and about 20 cats. Unfortunately, between the deathclaws, the cats, and all my settlers, it started to make the screen go all choppy and stutter.
I'll add one that might help newcomers of Survival Mode: you get the Lone Wanderer benefit when you have Dogmeat as a companion, and he can carry weight similar to a companion if you equip him with clothes. Even welding goggles or a bandana will increase his carry capacity from 50 to 150! It's like the added style gave him confidence which translates to strength
@@pieprincess5778 because you may not play the first few games and are a serious fps player and don't need no gaming aid what so ever. unlike some ppl .
@@blueguy09 how do you go into 4 not knowing vats doe , I didn't even know what it was called but I had seen hundreds of fallout 3 and nv clips , also vats isn't really aid , maybe in 4 cause that one's more of a shooter than an actual fallout game
I've been playing this game since 2016! My main big tip is to travel with a companion (though it doesn't work for Dogmeat). Command them to pick things up and they can far exceed their inventory space that you see if you trade with them! Also, for no mods build tips I have to give a nod to Skooled Zone here on YT.
The most fun I have had with this game was when it first came out on console there was a glitch that allowed you to max out your stats at the beginning of the game, the thing about it that I enjoyed the most was that I could VATS someone from across the map with pretty much any weapon, my favorite weapon was a big boy and it had mirv so I would shoot 12 nuka nukes at enemies I couldnt even see from across the map.
@@WhiskerWit-z2p Hell yeah. Bethesda games always have some kind of glitch that lets you max your stats, I did the same thing in skyrim, I dont think a lot of people find it fun to play like that but I think its the best way to play a bethesda game.
A reason lots of folk don't know about the cover system is because it just doesn't exist in third person, for reasons I can't comprehend. The animation is there, enemies do it, but nope, only in first person.
@@ansatsu23only in Fallout 3. That was a splinter faction disobeying direct orders and the core principles of the organization. The actual Brotherhood only believes in saving humanity by hoarding all advanced technology for themselves.
The power attack thing also worked in skyrim. You could swing and you'd see your character swing their sword but you could cancel it by swinging again and initiate killcam
I've spent endless hours just exploring and opening up the map for easy fast travel. This game is incredible. I only just found this game after a many year's long hiatus and it's been a GREAT reintroduction to gaming.
same. i could never explore between Mass Fusion and Goodneighbor because it crashes my game and i can tell i have unlooted sections there. then the update drops and i was so excited. loaded up my game went to DT boston and game immediately crashes lol
That’s mods, your load order is completely botched. Game is running fine with and without mods, you just have to know what you are doing which console players don’t.
I thankfully knew about the Cover system (Number 9) back when Fallout 4 came out. It was early on as well, since I was trying to aim as I was about to move a corner. It has a VERY forgiving trigger box/hitbox for where it activates. The fusion core trick is basically a hold-over from Briarhearts I think.
Slight correction to something you said about the difficulty levels. You said it’s not like the Witcher where higher difficulties won’t make you and your enemies more lethal. That’s actually not true. In survival difficulty that is the case actually.
The old perk “imposing presence” from past fallout games is in Fallout 4 as a passive perk that sometimes may activate if your damage resistance exceeds that of your enemy and they run away in fear. You just need a ridiculous amount of defense
Just tried this on stream last night but if you take Dogmeat into vault 111 and put him next to the cryo gun and tell him to fetch items he’ll grab it from the case for you so you can get it very early on in the game and you don’t gotta deal with the lockpicking.
So something that I only recently learned that I think should be mentioned on a list like this: When hacking in FO4, if you select symbols that are paired (for example ( ) , [ ] , or < > ), it will delete an incorrect password from the list and if you select { } it will reset your attempts.

It was a struggle at the start, but around level 12, the difficulty dropped some since I chose those skills. I'm surprised they didn't add the need for weapon repair like in 76.
I spent Hundreds of hours just building settlements in Fallout 4, Something about that game is just addictive
I’m this close to getting a unlimited resources mod send help
It's true for all Bethesda games
I got through the settlement tutorial as fast as I could and never looked back lol
The custom robots were also a favorite feature.
The Sim Settlements mod made me forget Fallout 4 had a story
Missile turrets can be placed really high using multiple sets of wooden stairs and when you're done powering them up you can delete the stairs and the section of floor that they are placed on. That gives you turrets that have 360-degree fields of fire, that can shoot downwards if they have to without damaging themselves. I call them "missile kites".
i found this on speccy island, i have loads of hovering turrets there, i also concrete blocked the area where raiders spawn so they are trapped inside a wall of turrets. i realised this while trying to stack concrete blocks and using stairs to reach, just snap a floor to some stairs, place turrets, remove stairs and blocks, presto hover turrets.
With Missile turrets I'm usually worry more on it accidentally FF my settlers because they all want to run to the enemies while the turrets are firing
@@Gabelogan2015 I make sure each of my settlers carries a stimpak and that they attend regular safety briefings as well as church services.
@@sid3954 - can settlers wear any armor you find in the wild and give to them?
@@SnorrioK Sure they can. I usually keep raiding the mercs at the Parsons Insane Asylum and taking their armor pieces because I like the better protection it offers. Gunners usually wear the same thing. Leather or metal armor is easier to find though.
To equip an item just tell them you want to trade and press "y" (I use an Xbox sorry) over the thing you want them to use/wear. Have fun you're playing the best game ever made
Man, you can think whatever about Bethesda, but Fallout 4 is fun as heck. Killing enemies with a shogun in VATS never gets old.
I'll see your shotgun headshot and raise you sniping the nuke in a Super Mutant Suicider's hand while he's still standing next to his buddies... truly never gets old

About the jetpack. Just get some Nuka Cola Quantum and have it quickselected. It replenishes your AP so you can just spam that and go as far as your fusion core allows.
But it can't make you go higher... It just makes you jet pack in place.
I set bath tubs down in an empty home and fill each tub with a flavor of Nuka Cola. I never sell or use the Nuka Cola I find, it goes in my tubs. I now have two houses full of tubs each filled with a specific flavor of Cola. I love this game.
Haha love that 🤣
That's awesome lol
I wish it was easier to put in the fridge so it'd be a proper display
Lol I did the same thing after getting the nuka world dlc
i usually fill my bathtub with skulls. just sayin
Hold R after grabbing an item will let you throw stuff. Also Survival mode and the jank cover system results in tons of head injuries if you don't have head armor

I love that the demonstration of the cover system also includes the typical outcome of trying to use it: namely the shot hitting the incredibly sloppy collision box of the thing you're taking cover behind, right in front of your face, even though the barrel of the gun is shown _inarguably_ clear of the obstacle, with a clear line of sight to the target.
You can use power armor without a fusion core, you can use a dead body to carry with infinite carry weight and chop a piece of it off and carry it around
Nice!
The body idea doesn't work all that well. I've tried it before and it is only really helpful if you aren't carrying stuff for long distances. Because even if you are carrying a chunk of a body, it seems that once you carry it so far, it just despawns/disappears.

First time I found out about grenade vats was fallout new vegas when I vats'd a dynamite stick immediately after a powder ganger lobbed it. Quickest goodsprings showdown, ever.
Can someone explain what he means by being able to hit the grenade automatically when it lands? I know about targeting grenades but I don't understand that other part, that's new to me.
Also with targeting grenades in VATS you pretty much need to use a critical otherwise you're likely to miss the grenade in most situations. This limits the usefulness because there are usually better things to save your criticals for, especially if you can only bank one critical.
@@gilgamecha Ok, what they are talking about in the video is taking advantage of the slow motion effect from VATS to control your grenades' bounce. Assuming your grenade has touched the ground at least once, it will go off where it is when your first VATS attack is made. You don't need to target the grenade, it is just a quirk of VATS and the interaction of a timer that should of already triggered the grenade but things don't happen for your grenade until you take action in VATS.
This has no special effect on enemy grenades. You can shoot them, but if you want too long enemy grenades will go off.
Thanks for choosing Preston for the body slam demonstration

I started doing something fun in fallout 4; I installed the Synth Fabricator mod and I’ve been building an army of Preston Garveys! Each Preston synth is armed and sent to the different settlements to serve as defenders! No longer will settlements need help
**Preston PTSD intensify**
The original one is already one too many
I did this with the robot DLC, sent robots to my favorite settlements to work and protect. Unfortunately, settlements get attacked in an unrealistic way that merely decides whether they will succeed or fail at defending independently of how heavily defended the settlement is, so all of my work was basically meaningless.
Still had fun populating the commonwealth with robots, but damn do I wish they could somehow simulate the settlement battles offscreen in a way that was reasonably consistent with the defenses you set up.

I'm always surprised when I see people don't change the HUD/Pipboy color. It makes hacking and reading so much easier, and also makes your pipboy light actually useful in dark situations. Can't play with it the default green.
I changed my whole HUD to white. It just works.
I always change it to white but with a small tinge of green...out of respect for Vault-Tec😁
Yep straight white
Honestly out of all the tips in the video/comments, this one is probably the one that's gonna make me try the game again.
I like the green, but when I change it it's amber like nv
Also, I'm sure you're aware that if you press [Interact] while grabbing something, you'll just drop it. But did you know that if you press [Reload], you'll throw the object away from you? And the longer you hold the button/key, the farther you can throw it, up to a point.
I was not ready for the moving a car with a dead body strat 😂
I knew everything but that
I've done it before, I forget why now, but I wanted more cars in a settlement (probably Starlight Drive-in). Mannequins work better, they don't flop around.

You can actually use *any* grabbed object to move any heavy object. It doesn't have to be a corpse. It can be a tin can. Or a weapon you dropped and grabbed. Rifles are good because they are long and pointy.
If carrying Power Armor parts/pieces overcumbers you, you can shoot these parts while still attached on a power armor base frame, reducing their condition to zero. Zero Power armor parts/pieces have no weight. However, you can't directly mount a zero conditioned parts. To use or mount these again to a base frame, just repair it to a power armor station. Tried this technique to distribute my power armors conveniently throughout my settlements in Survival Mode.
A trick for easy Fat man and mini nuke: go to the weapon shop in Goodnighbour. The assultron shop keeper never seems to get agro'd buy picking up the mini nuke and fat man that spawn on the shelves behind her. Just pick em up, take em upstairs, crouch, and steal them. Keep the nuke, sell the fat man, and you get an easy guaranteed little pile of caps whenever the items respawn!
When the mayor calls them to the meeting after the first interaction, they just leave their shops open for some reason so you can just walk in a steal them as well
I've done this so many times😂 and then I sell it back to her
For an easier and earlier fat man and mini nuke go to the salvage yard near USAF station Olivia
I've been doing this for a long time or hack her and take everything 😂
You could also use the hack option->incite and then wait for her to attack other residents and amidst the panic, loot her store.
Something that I didn’t learn until this year (2024), is that if you’re running low on space in a settlement and want to build more, drop weapons from your inventory, then enter workshop mode and store the dropped weapons. This counts as removing something from the settlement, and you can take your weapons back from the workshop and repeat this trick infinitely to allow more things to be built. The bigger weapons like miniguns free up more settlement building space, but every weapon can contribute to this trick.
Btw, it's not the size of the item that matters. It's the polygon count of the object, the complexity of it, that counts to the meter.

The only mechanic that got me to play again was survival mode
Its the only real way to play fallout
I rage quit from too many survival mode crashes couple years ago
The 3rd person takedown animations were something that I was sure was going to be in Starfield and when they weren't I was pissed. Starfield just disappointed me in the melee department. And no gore and dismemberment. WTF
Bethesda's plan to make their games "more accessible" to people who weren't already fans and get younger kids involved I guess 🤷♂️
Starfield has its merits, but it's a watered down version of what we all expected as you said.
Hopefully console mods will change it for those of us that aren't of the "PC Master Race" 😂
both FO4 and starfield disappointed me in the melee department, i mean hell they did melee so right in skyrim and they couldn't replicate the same thing in FO4?
like picture this for a second, you are holding a pistol in your right hand and holding some kind of shield in your left hand, and both can be used simultaneously, but no, it's simply not possible in either game, and they both use the same ass animation for the blocking mechanic, it's so dumb.
how did they make skyrim so much better for both options?
like they could make it an option in how the gun functioned, like put in some kind of flag that allows blocking with the left trigger and you can also aim at the same time depending on what kind of shield your using, i suppose the only thing that might not look good is the reload animation, but who cares when they never make legs in first person in their games anyhow?
Starfield disappointed on every level
@@nunyabizness6376 It's disappointingly bland, despite its potential to be the actual Fallout IN SPACE.

A known trick, but maybe someone hasn't heard it yet: you can carry unlimited weight. Instead of giving the items to your companion, just command them to pick it up from the ground/container. This way they can carry an unlimited amount of items. Very useful on survival mode.
Absolutely 💯
Friend, you have just saved me SO much time. I just started playing survival recently and the low carry weight really hurts. Thank you!
@@brandonoflight8274 I'm also playing on Survival and that's how I discovered this trick. I'm glad to have helped you friend! :)
You can also carry a torso around, it shouldn't despawn. Its not gonna work going through loading zones but at least you can carry stuff around for a while. Limbs don't really work, its gotta be a torso
Using the fetch trick with companions there is a risk it will glitch out and their entire inventory is permanently lost. So don't do it with anything too valuable or unique.
I made a point of collecting all the powerarmer I could. Never used it in the game, just showcased it at base. It was fun working out ways to steal it. Oh I also did the same with Nuka Cola
The nuka cola is actually pretty useful if you use the mixer.
Yup I've got a power armor museum with every paint job I've collected
I did the same thing with power armor. Due to an irrational aversion to repetitive maintenance chores, the extra hassle of needing to worry about replacing power cores and also keeping them repaired meant they ended up feeling like more trouble than the added defense and tiny jetpack spurts was worth. If a game wants me to choose the option that needs more maintenance and thought applied, the benefits need to be higher than that. (Same reason I so rarely use temporary, manually activated buffs in most any games. I get so tired of reactivating them over and over, and having to keep whether or not they've expired yet in mind.)
Also, the added power armor sound effects add to the big bulky walking tank vibe, but they also get old pretty fast. And I prefer the non-armor HUD too.
@@Alloveck hit the nail on the head, exactly my reasons
I didn't use it til level 20 by that point i had like 15 fusion cores so i didn't have to worry about running out for a long while
If you are fast enough, you can grab the cooking station from the church outside of your settlement area at Jamaica Plain and place it within the boundary before the workshop mode times out.
Then when you restart workshop mode, you can place it anywhere in the settlement that you like.
So far, it is the only crafting station that I have found that is close enough to a settlement border to do this.
I'm 30 hours into my latest bout of Fallout 4, that in addition to the 140 hours I played back at launch. I'm addicted and I hate it but I love it. I never thought I would get back into Fallout 4. I wish so bad Startfield would have just been Fallout 5 fk. Such a missed opportunity.
Agreed. I don't know how anyone thought that "exploring thousands of desolate procedurally generated planets" would be a fun experience... It sounds cool until you think about it for more then 30 seconds. No thanks. I'll take a smaller detailed and handcrafted world over that crap.
Fuck starfield
Having extra power armor is actually really useful BECAUSE... you can simply leave it around your settlements and the settlers will get in and use it during attacks.
The body slam alone is convincing me to run it back
Same
There are more animations than that, it even depends on what weapon you have
I was able to do the animation on my ps5 controller . My character snsps the npcs neck.
Bloodbug near red rocket killed me and triggered an animation where it pierced my body with it's needle head scared tf outta 😮
the stealing trick is hilarious but lets be real, the game swamps you in resources anyway, never quite felt like I want or need to steal something.
Yeah and there's no place where it's like an absolute crapton of currency like that one place in starfield where the trick is really useful.

@@jamenb7344 its the same in survival tbh, that's why i used some hardcore survival mod to make the game more engaging

For #2 - If you turn up the difficulty to very hard before you enter another zone, then enter the zone. You can then turn down the difficulty and your immediate vicinity will still have the higher legendary chance, because spawning has already been determined.

Number one should be Power Armor, They made it so fun in Fallout 4
Specially when you get the jet attachment!
Also, no training required to use it, just a good ol fusion core
It's so much better aswell unlike the one in 76 that has a bugged animation when getting into the frame.
1800ish hours in FO4 and had no idea about the cover system. FPS games aren't my usual genre, so I never even thought to try.
FO4 has aged surprisingly well. Then there are the mods, one being that switches to FP when equipping a firearm, and staying or switching back to 3rd when holstering a firearm or equipping a melee weapon.
note about the difficulty thing, if you play on survival mode it actually is a Witcher scenario. you and your enemies do enhanced damage!
Just a random idea I had: you guys should do like a "10 longest cutscenes in games". I'm sure there are games with long ass cutscenes.
Metal gear solid 4

you can duplicate your materials at your settlement workshop, just transfer the chosen material to your inventory, drop it on the floor and then, in build mode quickly press scrap and store (on PS5: quickly slide your thumb from square to circle, holding circle to scrap the item, and letting go to store the item) and you'll find you've doubled the materials you originally had
That car moving trick is mind blowing to me actually. So many cars to push and scrap now. 😂😧
I am thankful that 6:55 got left in.
Tip for newbies: scrap your items. If you just use the item from the workshop inventory, it will be destroyed just to get 1 component. And go playing on survival mode. It's way to more funnier
Not true. If you throw the scrap into a settlement workstation, the remaining components will still be available. It's only if you break it down at a work bench outside of a settlement that you lose components. I used to think the same thing, but it was just misinformation floating around the internet, probably from people who didn't know the difference of how work benches work at different locations. I've proved to myself that it works the way it's supposed to.
The animations are what makes melee combat so satisfying in Fallout 4. Is it perfect? No, obviously it's not a fighting game lol but melee in this game is especially brutal
I recently went back to Fallout 4. 72 hrs into this new playthrough and it took this video for me to realize that you can peek out of cover lol
9 years and probs almost 1000 hours and i never knew about the cover or the melee animations lol
The power attack button is activated by holding the right trigger (or R2) when unarmed or with a melee weapon. It was a nice tip but with two extra seconds you could have given the complete information.
I personally like to aim for the grenades on the suicidal mutants.
But, can you hold down the button twice? It might be too slow to make it work having g to hold the button twice instead of tapping a button key twice. I'm going to try it.
You totally missed the point lol
Almost didnt watch this because I thought I knew everything about Fallout 4 after all my years playing it. Manually triggering body slam, literally the first mention, this really is a game that keeps on giving. ❤️
I'm not sure if it's available on console, but Sim Settlements 2 is one of the greatest mods ever made. It's a must install mod every time I return to Fallout 4
It's on xbox.
@@dylanmahaffey8920 nice! I remember hearing that fallout has better mods on Xbox than PS
Running Bloodied builds on FO76 taught me very well about the Ghoul-Boy. I saw it so often that I actually got caught off guard to see his regular face when I started a new FO4 play through.
Stealing power cores and stealing from shops with the basket trick had me laughing my ass off. Definitely gonna give those a go
Couple of things that would make the game better: 1. Power Armor locked until later in the game like in Fallout 3 and NV. 2. Skyrim style skill level up system or like Kingdom Come Deliverance where you have to actually PRACTICE and DO the skill to level it up. You can't just dump a ton into sneak to pickpocket everyone, you have to get good at it.
Great tips, but wrong on one. If you hold over an object you want to steal, press X or whatever, you can hold the object, take it to any place near by that is isolated, drop and pick up to your inventory. If no one sees it you are fine. I always steal the Nuka Cola from the robot in Diamond City and the mini nuke from the robot vendor in Good Neighbor! I pick up the nuke and take it around to the alley ,drop and pick up. Even works on the vendor on board the Pryden. Once you pick the lock on his door you can slowly rob the.place , if you put a bucket on hid head, harder than it sounds, you can also get a way with anything.
okay i’ve done all that, but never put a bucket on his head 😂👍
Right, There's no mechanic for clearing the "stolen" tag from power armor suits. Every time you get in to it, or remove an armor piece/fusion core, it technically counts as stealing, so if there's a companion around (or alot say at a settlement or something) they will ALL respond to the theft accordingly...
Take the armor plates of the power suit and dump the skeleton rig. I'm lvl 20-ish and already got 5 power armor suits without trying. 1 was stolen but I just took the armor plates from it
The coolest one I found exists across all FO games in the Hacking mini game. There are hidden pieces of code that when you highlight and select it will either A) Remove a wrong choice, or B) replenish your attempts back to 4.
I've played well over 1000 hours of Fallout 4, thanks to the modding community, and never knew about this.
It's a much better tip than anything in this video, which mainly covered exploits rather than features anyway, and I'm definitely going to make use of this.
Cheers
@@MrMarcusIndialol I had played FO3 and New Vegas several times before I found it. I went back and checked and yes it's in those games as well.

Welcome to the club lol. I hope you're enjoying it 😊
Idc what anyone says. Fo4 is the best fallout. Period. There's so many different ways to play the game and you can just play it through over and over and also spend hours just building a settlement to your liking.
I only ever thought to drag bodies out of settlements...dragging items INTO the settlements to scrap. tremendous! thanks!

I know this is a month old but man this is something I didn’t know. If you go to the church in diamond city ( across from publick occurrences ) and then talk to the pastor while he is standing at the pedestal, he will allow you to sit and pray at the pew. If you sit at the pew for a little bit, you can get a temporary 5% XP rate

Definitely hoping they continue with another season. Burned through season 1 pretty fast.
I will never apologise for 4 being my fave fallout the amount of fun I have playing it is unreal
Weapon modding build crafting settlement fun the quest designs exploration its always a good time
Nice tips! Didn't know these, but I knew it is possible to make the companions carry more then their carrying capacity by make them pick itens for you. That fearure is present in Skyrim too
The only problem that doesn’t make the cover system work that well is that anything that fires a bullet is a hitscan weapon in Fallout 4 and guaranteed to hit as long as you’re within sight line.
Plasma, Fatman, Grenades, Mines, Missiles, Molotovs, Railway Spike Launcher, Flamethrower Launcher and Junk Jet are projectiles with travel time that it might help with but if my recent playthrough is any indication, it’s negligible at best.
I’m unsure what category Lasers fall into though, cause it seems like there’s travel time, but I could be wrong.
Is this why the enemies got like almost 100% accuracy??? Istg they rarely miss it seems 💀
That scrap one is freaking brilliant. My mad bomber is running out of steel.
This is why I like this channel, some of these things I genuinely did not know, even after 1800+ hours of FO4
If you don't have a Corpse handy, cars can also usually be pushed with a pipe rifle.
Also for those who may not know, Dogmeat doesn't actually count as a companion as far as perks go for whatever reason. As such, you can get all the benefits from putting points into the Lone Wanderer perk and also have Dogmeat with you for a little extra assistance on top of that.
Originally, he was supposed to be available to take with you in addition to a companion.
new gameranx upload, its a good morning
Here's something that won't get you back into Fallout 4. All the mods are BROKEN!
I’ve actually noticed that the deathclaws don’t do their grab attack if you’re in third person view! Very helpful if you somehow manage to get swarmed by thirty at once.
How would you get swarmed by 30 deathclaws at once? I've never seen more than 3 at any given time.
about number 6 you can also just shoot the Fusion core on the back of power Armor in v.a.t.s but you won't get but a Fusion core but npc will get out of the power armor /power frame all that need will is a replacement core. safer then trying to steal a core from "metal murder man" / someone wearing power armor.
I love that mechanic when youre just modding the game to be at very least, playable, and the game starts crashing in the most random way possible...
No way there’s jet packs💀 how the he’ll did I never know this?
You need it to get the armor that eliminates all fall damage.
😭 did a whole playthrough without knowing about jetpacks. I'm going back in just for that.
Probably because power armour is nearly pointless in F4?
@@mujariwa3696 You need to reach like lv60 to unlock the right perks for it.
@@Savagetechiedefinitely. Even with the jetpack I never use it. Once I get the two leg armor pieces that give +10% movement speed and "The Captain's Hat" and Marine armor, right arm, that give another 20%, it's just too slow to use power armor.
First time giving a sub, based on only one video. After 2.2K hrs. of playing FO4, it's pretty rare to find new tips and tricks. I just learned 8/10. All presented in a calm and fun way.
Once I start killing everything in a few shots after level 15 I forgot most of these existed
Switch up difficulty
Play on survival mode
@@Heyybrowusup I considered survival mode for my first playthrough. Only thing that put me off was that hunger and thirst thing. Does it get in the way much? Coz I'd like to give survival a go.
@@mujariwa3696 In my opinion, Survival is great because it makes a lot of features in the base game actually useful. Most people don't really build settlements outside of the times you need to for quests/missions. But in Survival Mode, no only is Fast Travel disabled (unless you use a Vertibird) but you can only save your game if you sleep in a bed. Plus your settlements can provide you with sources of food/water which will be a necessity in Survival Mode.
Also...most people don't seem to really worry all that much about cooking in the base game. But in Survival Mode, it becomes crucial in helping remove rads from some of the food as well as providing helpful buffs. Another neat trick that is in Survival Mode that isn't in the base game, is that you can take empty bottles and refill them at any water source. If you fill them up in a puddle, it gives you Dirty Water but if you refill them at one of your water pumps in your settlements, it gives you Purified Water.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 Ngl that sounds fun. Seems like a whole different game in Survival Mode. Any builds that you'd recommend?
Alternatively, even if your sided with BoS, just make sure you’re [hidden] and you can crit the fusion core, causing a massive explosion, and a few moments after the knight will leave the suit of Armor. Simply pick him off or wait for him to walk away and it’s yours. Just make sure to have a couple cores on you at all times. I’m a survival player and 2 should be enough to walk most of the most of the map. Walk. Not “drive it like it’s a shopping cart” lol.
I just recently started replaying Fallout 4 VR with some quality of life mods and man, I don't know if I just don't remember the game well or genuinely missed a ton, but I'm realizing so many little details and hidden items and interesting characters now that I couldn't recall.
I enjoyed it way back then, but it's a better game than I think I gave it credit for
Another tip when it comes to VATSing grenades is they don't even have to be your own grenades. If you are fast enough with your VATS, you can target grenades in enemy hands and shoot them to blow them up before the enemy gets the chance to throw them at you. Been something you've been able to do since Fallout 3.
Another tip in relation to Deathclaws: You can get them, and many other creatures to defend your settlements. Though it requires the right perks to do so. For the Deathclaws specifically, I believe you need to have some ranks in the Wasteland Whisperer perk which allows you to attempt to pacify/command creatures like Deathclaws while aiming at them. Then you just need to build the Deathclaw cages/traps in your settlements. And if you have the right perks, you can also build these Sonic Emitter structures around your settlements that will pacify the hostile creatures you capture in the cages. If done correctly, you can let the creatures out of their cages and they will just wander around your settlements as nonhostile creatures. Not only that, but they add to your settlements Defense stat and will help defend your settlement if it gets attacked. Be warned though, if you do this with certain creatures like Deathclaws...it increases the chances of having wild Deathclaws to attack that settlement.
I remember having deathclaws defending sanctuary for me. I must have had 25 deathclaws and about 20 cats. Unfortunately, between the deathclaws, the cats, and all my settlers, it started to make the screen go all choppy and stutter.
I'll add one that might help newcomers of Survival Mode: you get the Lone Wanderer benefit when you have Dogmeat as a companion, and he can carry weight similar to a companion if you equip him with clothes. Even welding goggles or a bandana will increase his carry capacity from 50 to 150! It's like the added style gave him confidence which translates to strength
Wait what if I'm already playing again? Will watching this video make me stop?
The grab\steal mechanic is absolutely awesome! Probably pretty annoying to do sometimes, but awesome nonetheless. Just taught me that one👍
i've played hundreds of hours without using the V.a.t.s system at all. so the grenade thing is pretty dope.
My first playthrough I wasn't paying attention for the brief VATs tutorial so never knew it was there
& therefore never used it
@@tomh3627bruh it's fallout how did you not know
@@pieprincess5778 because you may not play the first few games and are a serious fps player and don't need no gaming aid what so ever. unlike some ppl .
@@blueguy09 how do you go into 4 not knowing vats doe , I didn't even know what it was called but I had seen hundreds of fallout 3 and nv clips , also vats isn't really aid , maybe in 4 cause that one's more of a shooter than an actual fallout game
@@pieprincess5778 i didn't watch clips or trailers of games, still don't. vats is an aid.
I've been playing this game since 2016! My main big tip is to travel with a companion (though it doesn't work for Dogmeat). Command them to pick things up and they can far exceed their inventory space that you see if you trade with them!
Also, for no mods build tips I have to give a nod to Skooled Zone here on YT.
Fallout 4 is top 5 games most played on steam right now that's crazy.
The most fun I have had with this game was when it first came out on console there was a glitch that allowed you to max out your stats at the beginning of the game, the thing about it that I enjoyed the most was that I could VATS someone from across the map with pretty much any weapon, my favorite weapon was a big boy and it had mirv so I would shoot 12 nuka nukes at enemies I couldnt even see from across the map.
The max stats glitch still works
@@WhiskerWit-z2p Hell yeah. Bethesda games always have some kind of glitch that lets you max your stats, I did the same thing in skyrim, I dont think a lot of people find it fun to play like that but I think its the best way to play a bethesda game.
@@rectangleman4392 I'm also glad they allow it
A reason lots of folk don't know about the cover system is because it just doesn't exist in third person, for reasons I can't comprehend. The animation is there, enemies do it, but nope, only in first person.
For all those anti BOS simps, railroad actually planned to attack them first if you pay attention
Railroad : try to save robots and give them rights
BOS : Save technology and humanity
@@ansatsu23only in Fallout 3. That was a splinter faction disobeying direct orders and the core principles of the organization. The actual Brotherhood only believes in saving humanity by hoarding all advanced technology for themselves.
The power attack thing also worked in skyrim. You could swing and you'd see your character swing their sword but you could cancel it by swinging again and initiate killcam
You forgot the hidden mechanic where it crashes in half the map on console still.
Just reached level 40 on PS5 and its crashed 3 times
I've spent endless hours just exploring and opening up the map for easy fast travel. This game is incredible. I only just found this game after a many year's long hiatus and it's been a GREAT reintroduction to gaming.
Still the game keeps crashing after all the next gen update 😢
U have mods?
same. i could never explore between Mass Fusion and Goodneighbor because it crashes my game and i can tell i have unlooted sections there. then the update drops and i was so excited. loaded up my game went to DT boston and game immediately crashes lol
That’s mods, your load order is completely botched. Game is running fine with and without mods, you just have to know what you are doing which console players don’t.
I thankfully knew about the Cover system (Number 9) back when Fallout 4 came out. It was early on as well, since I was trying to aim as I was about to move a corner. It has a VERY forgiving trigger box/hitbox for where it activates.
The fusion core trick is basically a hold-over from Briarhearts I think.
Slight correction to something you said about the difficulty levels. You said it’s not like the Witcher where higher difficulties won’t make you and your enemies more lethal. That’s actually not true. In survival difficulty that is the case actually.
I been playing FO4 in PC since release and is so modded you even wouldn´t recognize it, yet I didn´t know about the Power Attack double tap.
The old perk “imposing presence” from past fallout games is in Fallout 4 as a passive perk that sometimes may activate if your damage resistance exceeds that of your enemy and they run away in fear. You just need a ridiculous amount of defense
Just tried this on stream last night but if you take Dogmeat into vault 111 and put him next to the cryo gun and tell him to fetch items he’ll grab it from the case for you so you can get it very early on in the game and you don’t gotta deal with the lockpicking.
Didn't work for me, I've tried it several times now and he just refuses.
@@ripleyfuriosa5701 maybe they just patched it but it worked for me
@@marcorios3953 I just started my first playthrough a couple weeks ago, so it must be a recent patch if that's true. I really wish I could access it.
I heard that they patched it a long time ago. Maybe you just got a lucky glitch.
