Here's my ruleset. Be warned: it's complicated docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
This is a horrible run to undertake and I don't suggest that anyone else should do it. This was 90 hours of learning the true extent of California Compliance in the Wastelands of Fallout 4. It was cool that I became a space marine though.

1:30:04 Cat video: Frisk is preventing me from folding laundry - เกม
Wow! I was not expecting this much of a positive response from this video! I guess I'll go ahead and say now that I'd be crazy NOT to do another one of these challenges in Fallout: New Vegas so yeah, it's happening now. It's not gonna be for a while though as I've gotta get ready for my yearly Halloween in July event plus the vids I mentioned at the end of this one like Transformers and Pathologic 2.
Also, please understand that there's no way I can fill a Mitten Squad-shaped hole in your hearts: no one can replace him and I'm not going to try. Challenge runs are a lot of fun and I'd like do do more of them every once in a while, but in no way am I just gonna start only doing those now. My love is still Immersive Sims and weird little horror games. But hey, I can balance those two things so I'm sure I can throw an occasional challenge run into the mix as a treat. Maybe like, one or two a year.
Hey man, take your time, this video was pretty fun to watch, and as for Mitten Squad, no one can replace him, no one will, and I don't think anyone is expecting you to replace Mitten Squad.
@@Bucket_Of_Spamton True, I mainly bring it up because I want to be crystal clear about it after seeing a lot of Mitten-related talk in the comments. I don't wanna just ignore it and let it potentially snowball into something I don't intend.
The California Legal idea is a really fascinating idea, I wonder how many different games it could work in... Far Cry, GTA... what a fun idea this is
@@Racing_Is_Not_An_Addiction Yeah, I *could* see this me trying to apply this to other games like Cyberpunk 2077 as was suggested in the comments, BUT I don't want to do this to death. If I just do the CA compliant challenge on every game it isn't special anymore; it's just a gimmick. After New Vegas I'd probably spend time working on a new, even sillier challenge ruleset. Hopefully my few remaining brain cells will be able to make something novel again in the year's time it will take to get around to that.
Good to know, but don't burn yourself out
Furiously googling Power Fist compliance laws in California
I think those fall under Penal Code 21810
Wait, I know you.
power fisting is mandatory
Not concealable, but it's technically a demolition tool, so using it would be outside of it's intended use.
It'd be like using a sledgehammer for self defense.
Sure, it works, but you are at legal risk using it as such
@@atomicanachronism8849 what if you just put a big oven mitt on it? Totally concealable
Man it's fucked up that certified lawyer Charlatan Wonder made this video in part as a way to give legal advice.
Unbelievable. Don't they know that I'm going to immediately act on this tangible legal advice? Think of the chaos
No dignity.
why is this funny af😂😂
@@Mr_Fugnug chew. what a beautiful pastrami.
Can confirm he’s a charlatan I tried all of this and now I’m in prison
Just here to say that Mama Murphy calls Dogmeat Dogmeat. You have to ask if he's her dog when she mentions him, but she responds with something like, "Dogmeat is his own man" and then implies that it's a good sign of character if he likes you.
Doesn't Nick also call him Dogmeat?
@@exittieronehe does! In the Kellogg quest and also will say 'Hey, Dogmeat's hurt' if the doggo gets downed while all 3 of you are together. Really sweet tbh
Came here to comment this
Also, if you use a Vault-tec Population management system to track dogmeat, the Overseer's Most Wanted quest will call Dogmeat "Dogmeat"
I swear the player character can also call him Dogmeat at one point, maybe when dismissing or re-recruiting him? I remember being caught off guard seeing as I had assumed he was just “dog” in Fo4.
The funniest part is that the original inspiration, a messed up obrez, is expressly illegal by CA law

@@Lasershark666what happened?
@@pinheadious17he died a while back
If a handgun is 50 years or older, it's automatically a c&r handgun and exempt from the roster, which every handgun would be 200+ years old, unless it's a newer pipe gun.
Fun fact, if it wasn't for the psychotic ramblings of legislators, the 'scary ar-15' is actually almost old enough to be considered "relics and curios" coming up in a few years.
if it's 200+ years old, it is legally an antique and no longer counts as a firearm, even if it works
@@vantablack6288 honestly I wouldn't be surprised I heard some early Soviet models are still in circulation today.
For an antique gun this may be false sadly, because they put a specific date of made before January, 1899.

WOAH! I was not expecting this to get anywhere near a million views! Thank you all so much!
No, thank you! I don't mean this in a disrespectful manner, but don't hold yourself to the view count as there is a Fallout hype wave. Regardless, you're hilarious, entertaining and dedicated to what you do. I love it and you've gained a sub! 🤌
It’s a really good video and I’m definitely subscribing to see what you do in the future. I find rule lawyering in challenge runs to be extremely entertaining and the video’s presentation, comedy, and script were all amazing. Great job dude and I hope to see more of you in the future.
That burger looked fantastic. I did not expect that for sure.
Loved the rules lawyering, loved the challenge, loved the death count, loved the pastrami burger. Hard Subscribe! Only thing... you kind of did this run using FO4's utterly broken melee system. How about you do it again with JUST GUNS? 😂
youre famous!
As soon as you said "Let's take a minute for ourselves because I'm not into sponsorship", I subbed.

“Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Now pay 200$ a month to read about all the stuff we are charging you with”
Sounds like the US
@@Bob-bs9ok Sounds like everywhere, Europe is worse off than even Cali is.
You do realise that you, as a citizen of the state, are expected to be conversant of the laws that you yourself enacted? And that ignorance of a law is not a defence. That's pretty much the the whole of the law past Magna Carta.
@@Akheloios Then they can make the law readily available and human readable. But then they wouldn't be able to get away with the shit they want to (puninive slavery [allowed under US law] and loopholes for the rich).

Until the very end I was afraid that ATF will come and shoot dogmeat 😢
Ruby ridge joke WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don’t shoot me down
Don’t shoot me down
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don’t shoot me down
The Ruby Ridge guy was a PoS. Doesn't give the ATF the right to run down and kill women and children though.
Just like how Waco having a whacko child loving doomsday cult didn't justify forcefully reclassifying them as a death cult much less saving the children from assault by IMMOLATION! They also could have gotten the guy they wanted at any time, especially since they were not just welcomed in, but the freak would make regular jogs.
When I do this run, I'm going to go to the BADTFL office and pay 200 caps every time I want a silencer or a mg.
@@jediknight1294 anytime you get shoes with laces you have to pay 200 per lace. Also, none of the MGs in the gun would be compliant. They are from after the law. You could however, if a male Character, say you could only use MGs when wearing the Minutemen armor, or a US military power armor. You could theoretically have been called back into service. You however could not store said weapon and ammo with the rest of your belongings.
Damn, that minute of appreciation actually really touched me. That's honestly really sweet of you to include as a simple way of brightening our day.
Hilarious video!
One note, “Dog” in fallout 4 actually *can* be named “Dogmeat” if you have him as your companion, then talk to Mama Murphy during the siege of the museum in Concord. Right after you talk to Preston and Sturges, talk to mama Murphy. If Dog is your companion, she’ll comment about how “Dogmeat” always finds good people to follow, and from then on his name will be Dogmeat.
Hate to be that guy but:
Penal Code 399.5 is the California statute that makes it a crime for a person to own a dog that is trained to fight, attack or kill, provided that he knows the dog is dangerous and: the dog bites a person, on two separate occasions or more, or. the dog bites a person once and causes a substantial injury.
So it's only illegal the second time?
Pretty sure body armor is illegal as well
@@PhoenicopterusRit isn't a warcrime the first time.
I feel like power armor also falls under some armor related laws, and they'd probably twist some tank related laws to hit you with something extra.
@@homeonegreen9 it isn't a warcrime if its done by a country the west approves of
"I cannot afford to legally defend myself adequately but at least I'm extremely well hydrated" yeah I'm not familiar with california but sounds pretty accurate
Hit the nail on the head except for the last part.
Noon stop water conservation expectations
California has been doing better with water availability on account of the recent wet and rainy/snowy winter seasons here, so the drought notices have been lifted, and if you're outside of the urban centers, there aren't any water conservation measures.
*looks at 20+ year long drought*
Yeah about that
@@thecommentpolice8115 Them atmospheric rivers fucked the state up lol. I remember seeing a giant sink hole on the 78
I stopped paying attention for 5 minutes and suddenly I'm learning how to make pastrami burgers in a fallout 4 challenge video
I love the slight role play you add in. Setting up Nordhagan Beach as a staging ground for the BoS's arrival.
Like in my recent run, I was saying I was an NCR Ranger who was sent east to see if they could set up a foothold there and then expand our way back west. And he was using the Minutemen to help take the commonwealth and would fold them into becoming the East Coast NCR.
Stupid, I know. But I had fun with it.
“Today we’re doing a California compliance run!”
*sighs deeply*
*unequips all items that aren’t clothes*
Oi, mate, you got a loicense for them combat boots?
depends on the clothes too, raider clothes are a no-go.
No, take those off too. According to California, they contain compounds that may cause cancer.

Doesn't California have a body armor law too?

This isn’t LA simulator, as a lot of the criminals, gang members and homeless drug addicts don’t follow the law(surprised pikachu face)
I think it could be funny to do this challenge but have a mod in the background where if you do pick something up the entire ATF constantly raids and kills you and your settlements until you throw away the non-complaint gun lol.

Following Boston laws wouldn't make it as challenging. That's why he chose Commiefornia.
@@vxicepickxv It does exsist. It became the California Republic, or, as some call it, New Texas, because its officers gave guns away to defend themselves.

@@oneofmanyparadoxfans5447 have you seen what the BPD has access to? motherfuckers have tanks
He also was arguably _not_ that, as a robotic duplicate. I don't think california's regs say anything either way about doppelgangers...
But does he count as a person? Like, in continental law (Hungary for example) legal capacity only begins at live birth. And well he is not really born... also being a "machine" or a "clone" is also interwsting since we generaly made it easy by outlawing them and that'sit.
Thank you for doing this in honor of Mitten Squad. You are such a fantastic youtuber, and I love all of your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
Amazing video, I loved the randomness of having a cooking segment in the middle. Exactly my brand of chaos! Im going to go see what other videos you have after this :D
"this is not a battle, this is a formality" is a line that actually goes so hard.

Great video! From the heartfelt message at the start, to the Silver Shroud recordings, to the cooking segment, it's all been very enjoyable to watch. Never watched a Fallout vid like this, but I love it.

"Do you have any idea how expensive a WestLaw or LexisNexus subscription is?"
Yes. Yes I do. I was a Paralegal Studies major for my first few years of college. I know JUST how bad it is, and I find it anti-citizen that ordinary people just straight up DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to the majority of the laws of the country they live it. And no, you cannot blame laywers as a whole, as they don't like it either. The ONLY people who like how pricey access to the law itself is are WestLaw, LexisNexus, and every politician (and potentially lobbyist) in the country.
I think an argument could be made that only laws whose text is readily and freely available should be enforceable.
i.e. states that paywall the text of their laws (which could be seen as similar in function to a Poll Tax) would effectively invalidate the laws that they have paywalled.
This may be a controversial opinion.
edit: I'm aware that I specified state and not country. But historically the word "state" has been used to mean effectively the same thing as country/nation.
Example: United States of America.
@@kevbu4
Sounds perfectly legit
A paywalled law is such a copout idea, wonder why the country is not voting to open it up for the public.
I'd even expect it to be used to hide illegitimate politics
Thats weird
"ignorance of the law is no excuse!"
Hides it behind paywall
In brazil, everyone has free access to any and all legislation by simply going to the fed gov website or their local municipality, including any and all daily changes
Now then, that american hassle sounds like a possible loop hole, how can someone be expected to follow the law, if you need to pay an expensive subscription to have access to legislation?
1:16:55 Having settlers and traveling merchants jumping your rides is your own fault for leaving the keys in your cars my dude.
Californian here, I was expecting a tofu burger. You are in denial if you think the stereotype isn't well founded. Also The Hat's pastrami isn't nearly as good as people pretend it is, it's just the sign and landmark status. Go to Langhers in downtown LA for good pastrami.
At least he makes up for his failure to uphold that stereotype by leaning into the much worse one of looking down his nose at "flyover states," which let's be honest, in his mind that means all of them except New York. So much for that bit of "positivity" at the start, I guess.
“In the grim darkness of the future, there are only California compliant weapons” is just so f ing hilarious
Pretty sure the onlyones who would be ok with that are the Dark Angels
Damn my guy! Absolutely fantastic story telling and a cooking segment in the middle. Muah! Incredible!
This is an absolutely incredible video! From the ground up, just perfection. Thank you.
I love that while still in the spirit of the Cali challenge, Char immediately extended the barrle on spronglo and threw a stock on it... breaking the National Firearms Act.
I mean, if he demilled it and then reserialized it as a rifle with all the paperwork then it would be legal. I assume that fits into "doing the paperwork offscreen".
@Enderborn272 True True. Tbh, as fucked as Cali law is, it's hilarious to me that it's at least more logically consistent than the NFA. I mean, it doesn't work, but somewhere in all the mag bans and shit is at least a thought process rooted in limiting an active shooter's access to a semiauto with a decent mag.
The NFA by comparison is like "Yeah, best I can do is make sure the kiddos are getting clapped by a 16" barrel. But can you imagine if it was a 13" barrel? 😱"@@Enderborn272
No, it is legal to convert pistols into rifles, as long as the barrel is 16 inches minimum. Rifles can not be converted into pistols without a sbr tax stamp.
@@Enderborn272 A pistol can be made into a rifle without issue, it's a rifle that *can't* be made into a pistol. This is going off federal law, California is probably different
@wolfgang_h3t unless something has changed, realistically only Hollywood can aquire NFA items in California. California requires a permit, and only gives them out to buddies.
I know a guy that got 24 years in prison in California for getting drunk and shooting an AK-47 in the air, the average sentence for murder in CA is 7 years
Wow, 24 years seems a bit excessive for that.
but that 7 year number is odd. You may be thinking of the voluntary manslaughter charge of 3-11 years, rather than the second degree murder charge which is a minimum of 15 years, or the first degree murder charge which has a minimum sentence of 25 years.
Voluntary Manslaughter is for unplanned, isolated, heat of the moment violence that results in someone's death. For example, walking in on your partner cheating on you, and attacking the other person.
Second degree murder is when you kill someone without premeditation, differentiated from Voluntary Manslaughter in that it usually involves committing some other form of crime like armed robbery.
First degree murder is the premeditated of another person.
Not sure how you came to the average of 7 years for a murder charge, but I'd be curious to hear it.
I can get getting arrested for shooting an AK into the air as the bullet could have hit someone but that is just cruel and unusual punishment
I smell bs
@@JohnPabloEsposito Theres a body cam video from a couple years back where a guy was shooting a rifle in the air in his backyard at night on new years eve (or 4th of july I dont recall) and the cop peeks through the wooden fence and then mag dumps on the man, killing him. Didn't announce he was police or make his presence known at all. Dumb situation all around but the point here is going to jail may not even be the worse of it.
@@Liberty_Bull police trying not to mag dump anything and everything they see
California has a statute that allows the manufacture of homemade firearms that don’t have serial numbers but follow all aforementioned regulatory laws regarding them.
That technically includes all… found pipe weapons that meet the states laws so, technically if you don’t use a pipe weapon but pick it up and modify it, you’re still in compliance…
Technically 😂
In lieu of no ads, here’s my thanks for that helpful gratitude reminder 🙏
CHALLENGE Mode: Complete this challenge while obeying legislation on LASER devices, pressurized gas containers, high-energy industrial devices with EMI risk (like Gauss Guns and Plasma Weapons) and all OSHA regulations in settlement construction. NIGHTMARE mode: INCLUDE BUILDING LEGISLATION.
This reminded me of a Resident Evil 5 co-op run I did with a friend.
I like to point out OSHA violations and health&safety risks when we play for fun and one of the most memorable things was a bulkhead door we found which could only be operated from one side.
One side leads to a researchers room, the other to a kennel housing mutated dogs. The mechanism for opening/closing/locking the door was inside the kennel...
No matter what your opinion on gun laws is... I think everyone can appreciate laser laws. The first thing you need to know about poorly handled lasers- you can go blind just from the sideglow. So it is very easy to go with the idiot combo of blinded and then stumbling into the path of the beam.

Just pointing this out in case someone else hasn't already: Dogmeat is referred to as Dogmeat if you travel to Mama Murphy in the Museum of Freedom with Dogmeat in your party. And then he gains the name 'Dogmeat'. I thought this was well known by now, but I suppose not. The more you learn, though!
hes also called dogmeat by valentine. i think regardless of if you knew his name or not
"I thought this was well known by now" The douche factor is off the charts-- ew
@@zgSH4DOW There are a lot of points in this video that suggest the creator is actually quite new to Fallout 4 as a whole, or isn't very familiar with the setting. Which is fine!

I think you can learn it earlier if you talk to Mama Murphy during the Museum of Freedom quest
@GetiniToo I’m pretty sure that it also only happens if you have dogmeat as a companion at the time also
Either then, or after meeting the minute men since mama Murphy will say his name to you without you talking to her.
Yeah, it's a rule that every dog in fallout (unless it's rex) is named Dogmeat. I guess it was probably a famous dog in the fallout universe and now people just name their companion dogmeat (it's a refrence to an irl movie which i can't remember the name of, a boy and his dog or something)
Your character calls him Dogmeat while commanding him, Mama Murphy calls him Dogmeat, Valentine calls him Dogmeat, and a ton of companions refer to him as Dogmeat when you swap with him.
I have no idea what he meant when he said no one calls him that in game 😭

You know the laws are bad when it takes 2 weeks of research to get a vague idea of what the rules are.

I appreciated the minute of positivity, thank you.
funnily enough, california listing a cannon as an example of a destructive device is the most ironic thing in existence. This is because one of the explicit examples given by the founding fathers for a weapon that shall never be limited was, in fact, a cannon. You are even explicitly noted as being able to use one in notarized legal documents.
I mean its California, the constitution is just a suggestion.
I live here and yeah california hates fun
> Be Californian
> Buy Cannon
> Cali government throws a hissy fit and fines
> Sue the state
> Watch it fly to Supreme Court
> Obvious unconstitutional law is overruled by Supremes
> Gavin cries
> Cali is saved!!!
Do you have a source on that? While cannons were not explicitly illegal at the time and civilians could own one, I can’t find anything where the fathers explicitly cited a cannon as something “that shall never be limited”.
@@bradenculver7457 look up the responses of the founding fathers when asked about naval limits for civilians.
fun fact if you were to do this with new jersey laws, you actually wouldnt be allowed to carry any weapons at all without a "legal reason" for it. Self defense is not considered a legal reason in new jersey.
This is why having a swiss army knife(or anything that could be used as a weapon) in your pocket while on a walk is a crime punishable for up to 5 years in jail.
Oh also slingshots are completely banned here for some reason lol.
In my local area of Ohio it's very similar. Simplified, something along the lines of carrying in self defense implies premeditated intent on harm which MIGHT not be equal to the level of assault.
So The DMV isn't the only thing bad about Jersey
@@digital_u4iaOhio is a constitutional carry state where in Ohio?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you also legally have to leave your settlement if it was attacked/taken over by Raiders?
@@GibsMeMunnytrue! If you had a route out, you'd be legally required to vacate.

Okay, hear me out... you COULD use a fully automatic firearm if all you're aiming to do is play within the boundaries of the laws of california, then after using whatever over-the-top weapon you prefer you then, "get arrested", go through "trial", get a 15 year prison sentence, spend 10 years in a "cell" and then 5 on paper for good behavior, continue on the with the game....
Piper uses a default 10mm, which has a magazine capacity of 12, making you an accomplice to an illegally modified firearm owner
He corrects this later, in case you didn't continue watching
@@cakeyeater7392 He didn't correct it; he got her to not fire her non-compliant firearm at anyone, but she's still carrying it around, so he's still an accomplice to possession.
@@JohnDoe-nq4du you can take their weapon, can you not? I haven't played 4 in a while, and I don't play with Piper as my companion, so I'm not sure
@@cakeyeater7392 You cannot. I'm currrently in the process of my first playthrough of 4 (only played NV before and didn't even finish that in the slightest), and you can only give her a different weapon to use, not take hers. Even if you have her equip a different gun, her standard weapon will not appear in her inventory, thus not enabling you to take it.
Do we know if Piper has any form of license to own and operate that 10mm pistol?
I guess California is more memeable, But doing Boston/Mass laws in FO4 and Cali/NV for FONV could be "fun." New Vegas could be done a couple ways, but it would be torturous if you had to drop all your good stuff as soon as you enter NCR territory.
Since there seems to be ongoing litigation over some of the laws in the past couple years, I'd go with the most restrictive iteration. Without going into too much detail, california defines "assault weapons" by a number of arbitrary features, but as it happens, most weapons in game are disqualified by minimum mag size or being innately full auto, so you don't really need to go into it.
List of possibly legal weapons (Theoretically possible to posses and carry with requisite permits):
- Revolvers
- Flare gun
- Hunting Rifles*
- Lever Actions*
- Manwell Rifle*
- Double Barrel Shotguns**
- Syringer (Probably? it is akin to dart guns used for animal control, although if you want to be strict, darts that do direct damage probably contain poisons/controlled substances)
- Paddle Ball (lol)
- All bladed weapons except switchblade, as long as they are not concealed***
- All blunt weapons
- Boxing Gloves
*Barrel >16" or overall length of >26"
**Barrel >18" or overall length of >26",
***If you want to be really strict you could say that it is concealed if it is not currently equipped, which would basically make every edged weapon over 5" illegal and anything not a handgun, i.e. revolver.
Iffy:
- Pipe guns/Handmade Shotgun (homemade, so transfer would be illegal, but if you made the receiver from scratch and immediately modified it to legal spec)
- Triple Barrel Handmade Shotgun (Iffy for being handmade as before, but also the ATF defines automatic as firing more than two rounds with a single pull of the trigger, so current multibarrel guns have a mechanism so all barrels must be fired in sequence, so as long as it meets ** requirements and only fires barrels in sequence it should be fine.)
- Railway rifle (might be a destructive device, nobody really knows how it works.)
- Cryolator (Same as above)
- Gauss Rifles (Similar to above, but it probably would be legal as long as it adheres to *, being a rifle)
- Flamer (Seeing as the fuel appears to be a gas, it could be considered a tool, like a blowtorch)
- Most fist weapons probably fall under the category of Brass/Metallic knuckles, which are illegal
Impossible to configure to legal requirements:
- Combat Shotguns (Since it has a detachable magazine, it is a "Category 3 assault weapon" in california)
- 10mm Pistol, all kinds (>10 round minimum mag size.)
- Radium rifle (Radioactive)
- Lasers/Plasma/Alien (Probably has output beyond civilian ownership, they'd find some way to arrest you for it, but most also have "assault weapon" features)
Basically any outlier semiautomatic rifle configuration would break one or more of the "assault weapon" characteristics.
Essentially a long winded yes, but you'll basically be pigeon holed into using fud guns and blunt force/melee, both of which are valid play styles for a modern Fallout. Fallout 1 & 2, would be much harder and a game like STALKER would likely be nearly impossible.
You're actually pretty close to my own considerations for a sequel run for this challenge run. The main reason I picked 4 was because I would be able to modify most weapons to fit the ruleset. FNV however has a lot of weapons that are fine out of the box, but there are also other things that I'll talk about towards the end of the video
I think a Sniper-barrel Laser or Plasma weapon MIGHT be legal if we assume the laws are updated to include lethal energy weapons (as in-universe, the ATF counterpart also regulates Lasers, but plasma weapons don't enter civilian use before the War and therefore probably don't have any laws tied to them). The Sniper barrel in particular should work wonders for this, since in both cases it lowers the "magazine" from 30 to 9 just on its own. This precludes going over the Maximized receiver, since the Overcharged receiver will boost you back up to 12 shots, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem for Survival difficulty. Would "microfusion cells" still count as ammo or would they just be batteries and thus unregulated? Though you would definitely have to get them as Rifles.
The Laser Musket COULD be legal if it's purchased from Ronnie Shaw or manufactured from an Energy Weapon Forge. However, both of these are, of course, late enough in the game to make the Laser Musket of questionable utility though a six-crank one is still quite punchy.
@@CharlatanWonder you'd basically wind up doing a cowboy build. Fun fact, California's limit of 10 rounds is exempted for tubular magazines, so a fully upgraded Cowboy repeater (11 rounds? 12?) Would still be okay.
Fun fact, in Michigan, brass knuckles would not be allowed. There might be an exception if you're a bouncer or something like that but I'm not certain.
@CharlatanWonder hey, just wanted to say, as far as your settler problems at 1:16:00, just take out the fusion cores and store them in the workshop. Only specific NPCs can spawn with fusion cores, and everybody except followers needs them to work power armor, so it's kinda like taking the car keys out of a car. Second tip though, companions can use power armor without fusion cores
5:39
Genuinely one of the nicest things I’ve seen this week. Definitely one of the nicest things I’ve seen on TH-cam, thank you sir
I love how this all a sudden turns into 40K references - excellent 😂
So if I'm understanding this video correctly, if I were ever to visit California and aquire a sledgehammer, I would be the most powerful entity in the state?
yeah that sounds about right
Only amongst law-abiding citizens. Which is very few.
As a cali resident, no you would not. You would instead be killed on the way to the shop due how bad the drivers are here.
Did you notice how all the raider gangs ignored the laws passed by the NCR and carried whatever gun they wanted to, only affecting Charlatan as a law abiding citizen?
@@timothymarzelli3874 Lot of criminals in this video, I bet they didn't buy and register their guns at licenced vendor. They still didn't stand a chance against the sledgehammer.
Gauss rifle is not California compliant, it is legally an assault weapon. Semi auto, takes detachable magazines or it's equivalent, and has a pistol grip.
Im calling the ATF, hide.dogmeat
NOOOOOO DOGMEAT
Thank you for that minute of appreciation. And not an ad
I love how you can instakill a deathclaw or fucking swan but can't survive 2 feral ghouls, Fallout is a perfectly balanced game.
If Charl's following California law he can steal as much as he wants as long as it doesn't exceed 950 caps in each instance.
California Penal Code 459.5 describes the crime of shoplifting as entering an open business during their normal hours with intent to steal merchandise valued at $950 or less.
shoplifting is always a misdemeanor crime and punishable by up to six months in a county jail and fine up to $1,000, unless the defendant has one of more prior convictions.
Crazy what a single Google search can show you!
@@thesnowmiser6728 Really? So if you steal while the business is closed then it's free real estate?
@@thesnowmiser6728 Crazier still is what reality will show you.
@@thesnowmiser6728Don't need a Google search to know that if you don't enforce the laws their intricacies become moot.
@@stephenschuster9929 wow, it's almost like petty crime gets overlooked all the time and everywhere because devoting manpower and attention towards people who, very likely, are suffering from poor material conditions as is would be inefficient and a bad look.
Like, if you're already gonna have a system that makes being poor miserable, the least you can do is not make it that overt.
I'm surprised tire irons are allowed to be carried and not be considered "burglary tools" and combat knives aren't banned for being too long or something. Plus putting spikes into a baseball bat probably violates several California laws too.
Technically because of the raiders and other threats, in extenuating circumstances youre allowed to carry things like tire irons for self defense, so thats fine, but ya the baseball bat being modified is illegal (might even fall under the "billy club" ruling), and the knife is fine i think so long as its not concealed, which is defined as having at least the handle be visible.
I actually think wrapping a baseball bat in barbed wire and walking around in public with it is illegal in most of the US.
@@cutthroatink1590bludgeoning weapons are illegal in California. No baseball bats. You can get arrested for using one in home defense.
@@irmatroll but not self-defense. Property equals not okay beating someone to death. Personal safety equals perfectly okay. And I think even though pets are considered property by the law, If you did beat someone to death for trying to kill your dog, the jury would never find you guilty. You just have to have a cute dog/Cat/pet.
@khrishp all home invasions are self defense situations, and it's really illegal to use a bludgeon weapon for self defense too.
As a gun lover and Cali hater I was intrigued by the video just from the title but this little bit right here (5:37) made me subscribe. A small reminder to be grateful for even the littlest of things is something you don’t see very often in this day and age. Love the message and I look forward to watching the next hour and a half of California inspired shenanigans.
9:30 They actually do! If you meet Mama Murphy with Dogmeat as your companion, she tells you his name
I was coming to the comments to post this
doesnt dick valentine also say it just before you get dogmeat to smell the cigar and get to Kelogg®
@@Steven-ec4ys Same
nick does too if you dont meet dogmeat yourself before entering kelogg's home

the minute of appreciation was amazing. earned my subscription
You lured me in with the fallout hype and silly video and made me subscribe with the think of something nice bit.
A handy way to keep settlers and vendors from stealing your power armor by -not leaving the keys in it- removing the fusion core.
This is how I end up with 23 partially used fusion cores in my inventory lol
Nice door at the Castle. The bad part about the Defend the Castle quest is that the enemies spawn inside the Castle.
Yea Oxhorn did a video about settlement attacks, building a fortified settlement doesn't matter. In fact, if you fast travel and show up 'late' it will sometimes even have enemies already be spawned in non normal places, ike for example you can have a Deathclaw inside a building that it would have no way of getting inside the room.
@@ragabashmoon1551hence why you litter the settlement with turret towers that enemies cannot target easily, but they can target them at nearly any area~
@@AmaryInkawultso build a medieval Star Fortress that eliminates all dead zones for turret angles of fire?
I just subscribed because of that little reminder to think of the good things in life no matter how small! That was such a nice note!
Man you truly have come a long way
I am so proud to see you become the greatest warrior California can legally field.

@@dartoney Just wait till the Mickey curse and the Mario curse start fighting
The game does refer to dogmeat by name, either talk to mama Murphy while you rescue them from concord and nick valentine calls him as such when you need to track kellogg's scent, either also changes his name in the hud from dog to dogmeat
I’ll be sure to show the judge this video! Thanks again my favorite attorney 🙏
you know what, i appreciate you man this is my first video from you, and the minute of appreciation is unique and made me smile. the good thing that happened to me today, was that i got to drive 7 hours on my motorcycle in hot AZ nothing is better then a ton of wind hitting your face on a ride.

"Completing Fallout 4 while adhering to California gun laws"...
Seems like a fancy way of saying that one is doing a melee only build HAH!
Its CA man, I wouldn't be surprised if they classified a pocket knife as a rifle. T~T
@@festivebonk4376iirc the atf tried to have shoelaces classified as machine guns
@@MrRedpanda2442that pisses me off. My shoestring M80 shooter is NOT a machine gun. It's a grenade launcher.
@@MrRedpanda2442 That's fine, I have a belt loop and a finger.
@@MrRedpanda2442 they didn't "try" anything, they literally classified a string as a machine gun because it was possible to tie it around a firearm such that it kept firing. Then they imprisoned a man for selling a sheet-metal credit card with an engraving on it. Oh yeah, then they sent a shit ton of guns to the mexican cartels in Fast & Furious. Then there was the strange oddity that they didn't seem to ever investigate anyone for the whole "we left afganistan and gave the taliban billions of dollars of world class armaments" thing even though a whole hell of a lot of firearms and explosives illegally changed hands there. (yes, I'm aware that wouldn't technically be in their jurisdiction, I'm making a point about the hypocrisy of a government that literally gives the taliban billions of dollars worth of world class weapons saying you can't own a rifle with a magazine) Oh, right, then there was that time that they seem to have not actually read the NFA, because if they did they'd know that the definition of a machine gun, as defined by law, is that it must fire several rounds via a "single function of the trigger", yet a ideal state-machine like the FRT where the entire gun's state is completely reset between each round, is a machine gun to them. Oh yeah, and for the record, by their own rules STL files are machine guns too. If the FRT is a machine gun, and *_anything_* that can be readily converted or be readily used to convert another weapon to a machine gun is, itself, a machine gun, that means an .STL file for the supersafety is, itself, a machine gun...
*_YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A MACHINE GUN_*
I hate when people call them "high capacity" magazines when they're literally just standard capacity.
It's high capacity compared to low capacity magazines.
Wow you deserve a prize. “🤓 well technically if you’re extremely pedantic and ignore the fact that the standard capacity magazines already exist and making a lower capacity after that fact wouldn’t change the fact that the standard magazine still isn’t a high capacity magazine”
Awww take it up with the atf and there buzz words high cap is probably one of the more tame examples of the propaganda they spread
@@othernamesweretaken1871 Chill
They’re usually low capacity compared to base nowadays. Show many any modern rifle with under 20 round mags or any handgun under 13
