    I've been playing the game for about 10 hours blind, for the first time ever, and there was a lot of this I still didn't know. This def seems like the kind of game you could play hundreds of hours and still discover new things. What a great well put together video. Subscribed.

    Very good in-depth video. I haven't watched it all yet, and I am out of time for now; but I will pick it up again and finish it later.
    There is one mechanic I've noticed that many people seem to be unaware of - containers in settlements that are empty when first checked may fill with items if you leave the area and come again. Using/abusing this mechanic is one way I'm almost certain to get the Vault-Tec Lab Coat in the vault if I'm not lucky enough to get it the first time. I just leave and come back the next day or so and it has often spawned into one of the dressers adjacent to the overseer's office. I also sometimes use this in Sanctuary - by not immediately scrapping any containers that are empty, then leaving to go to Concord, etc. Often those containers have spawned items when I return. I use this particularly if, although rare, I'm not lucky enough to get any "Charisma" clothing on my first check. To get something with +2 Charisma in Sanctuary is, after all, pretty much guaranteed.

    This is a great guide. It will definitely help me when I play Fallout 4 for the first time. There is a lot of stuff to do in this game outside of the main story quests. That's a benefit because a player can get 'burned out' on the usual gunfights and fast-traveling everywhere. Being able to build a base or small town is pretty cool. I'll definitely have to play this game now.

  • @Phantasm57

    I suggest for anyone who wants to sleep in sanctuary hills use the root cellar bed. Without mods sanctuary will crash or freeze the more the settlement is built up.. charisma will get a boost as well with the Sharp legendary clothing.

    I've never seen anyone mention this, but if you DON'T loot the Mole Rat Den you are able to use a rendering glitch to respawn the items outside the den, in the chest near the water tower, and in the 2 buildings along the first road in Concord. Then you are able to continually loot them all (multiple chests, a nuka cola quantum, 2 lockpick safes, bobby pins, nuka cola bottles, food for those playing survival, as well as 7 wild mutfruit trees and 5 gourds) just by running back behind Sanctuary to de-render. It's an added little cycle you are able to do while recruiting settlers and building up your stockpiles of meds/caps/armour. Also works with your Perfect Playthrough and recruiting the early vendors

  • @user-sx3pc4dj3r
    @user-sx3pc4dj3r 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    For a first play through you probably should of done an all 4 special stat character.
    And stuck the special book into luck.
    And perception bobble head from Preston.
    Reason being you'll have access to everything.
    Explosives, lockpick, hacking, automatics, handguns, rifles, sneak, idiot savant, crafting, the lot.
    (No ammo for heavy weapons so no loss on not having that perk)
    Distributing special in any other fashion only makes sense in a dedicated build.

    In the beginning, you can pick up dogmeat at red rocket. Go back into vault 111 with him, get him to stand in front of the Cryolator cage and order him to fetch it, he’ll pull it out of the cage for you. You don’t need to wait until you level up lock picking.

    if you get tired of doing prewar/ vault 111 run you can make a skip character. pretty much make a character with 10 int for the little bit of bonus xp name it something like "Male skip" then save just before getting on the elevator at the end of vault 111 where you can change name, special stats, and appearance. sense FO4 has a character select based on character name you can always go back to that save and change the name to whatever before leaving the vault for a new run.

    • @TheEfficientGamer
      @TheEfficientGamer  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great idea! Also if you find a Vault Tec Lab Coat in a Vault 111 run, use that for your saved character, since it's pretty rare.

      I don't like skipping but if so make sure your skip save have 1 bobby pin when saved from the Overseer's office. Heard sometimes it doesn't spawn.

  • @ErosXCaos
    @ErosXCaos 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

    My *_TOP TIPS_* (especially _Survival Mode_ )--->
    --> _Codsworth_ is available as a companion without first needing to free *Preston.* Simply enter _Concord_ far enough that Preston and the Raiders start fighting, return to Sanctuary, and he can be hired. Taking him along to free *Preston* can give some _affinity boosts._ _Codsworth_ will give you a Purified Water on a continual basis just by talking with him, making him a solid companion for _Survival Players._
    --> *_Need Caps?_* Stop at nearby *Abernathy Farm,* under the Power Pylon. Grab the 9 Melons, then speak with the daughter _Lucy._ Keep picking the top dialogue choice about caps as currency. This will trigger an Easy speech check, and she will offer to buy Melons for 5 caps instead of 3. She can buy every Melon you have, _on an ongoing basis,_ which can be lucrative if you turn Sanctuary into a Melon farm. However, if you make the Farm a settlement, she *stops* buying them.
    --> *_Survival Players,_* besides planting *Tato,* *Mutfruit* and *Corn* for _Adhesive,_ plant *Razorgrain.* Cook *1 Razorgrain /1 Dirty Water* to make rad-free _Noodle Cups._ They lower thirst one level, hunger half a level, _yet weighs the same as Water!_ Check wandering vendor _Trashcan Carla_ and _Trudy at Drumlin Diner,_ South of Concord. Or find randomly as loot.
    --> *_Weapon and Armor modifications_* can be _stripped and swapped_ onto your better gear. You can _remove armor mods_ for free, but you will have to _build a new gun mod_ from components. Even without Gun Nut, you can build the base level gun mod, which will put the previously attached modification into your inventory, and put onto your new hotness.
    --> _Survival Players_ should build *15 more water supply than they have settlers,* minimum. This will _accumulate_ extra water from the Workshop *every day,* so take it out store it separately in another container. New Purified Water will be added every day *_if_* there’s little to no water already in the workshop. If you build a large enough water purification operation, a huge amount can get added daily. Use this for your travels, or stockpile, and sell the surplus.
    --> _Survival Mode_ features *Diseases,* acquired numerous ways. You can take *Antibiotics,* visit a *Doctor,* or *Wait* until they go away eventually. Each disease has _different durations,_ lasting from *2-7 days.* The most debilitating are _Weakness_ (receive +20% damage), and _Infection_ (take damage over time, though it won’t kill you, will leave you with a sliver of health). These two diseases take *2.5 days* to go away. Find something safe to do, like decorating Sanctuary, or sleep it off. Sleeping causes a _disease check,_ so you might get sick again, but anything is better than Weakness or Infection. *Early game,* when resources are tight, you might be better off saving Antibiotics just in case for the debilitating diseases, and living with the others until they go away.
    -->Want to play _Survival Mode,_ but aren’t sure what starting SPECIAL to use? I’ve found it’s worth going for strong combat skills first, and then flesh out your build.
    *Melee Builds,* get _Rooted_ (STR9) and _Blitz_ (AGI9) immediately. *9,1,4,3,1,9,1* _(Book END)._
    *VATS Guns,* get _Penetrator_ (PER9) and _Concentrated Fire_ (PER10). *1,9,3,3,3,7,2* _(Book AGI)._ You’ll get the *Perception Bobblehead* when you free Preston, so have a point saved, and put into Concentrated Fire mid-rescue.
    --> _Survival Mode_ players should seriously consider _not_ using Power Armor. _Swimming_ is Survival’s Fast Travel. You’ll get around much faster and safer. *_Aquaboy/girl perk_* will save you a ton of time! Without spoiling, the game gives you a quick means of crossing the map as you do the main story, if you dabble with the *Brotherhood of Steel.*
    --> _New Players:_ *Idiot Savant* isn’t a good choice for first timers. Enemies scale with you. You need to have good gear to survive, and easy and fast XP can leave you without enough time to explore and find good gear before the bad guys start hitting even harder. *You’ll get plenty of levels, faster than you think, even at 1 INT.* Growing powerful isn’t only a matter of levels. *You’ll be stronger if you have great gear when you pop your next level.* Take it easy, don’t rush, go slow, and you’ll be better for it.
    --> _Pass every speech check_ with *11 CHR,* 100%! Low CHR builds, don’t fret: assemble a 3-piece _CHR set of clothes._ *Hat/glasses/suit,* for _+4._ Most *Alcohol* adds _+1._ Find *Daytripper* _+3._ Better yet, craft *Grape Mentats* at a Chemistry Station _+5._ There’s other ways, but with these, that’s a +13 buff already.
    *Bonus!* Your companion will come to your side and stay there if you _crouch._ And if *Dogmeat* only carries _25_ units, put a bandana, welding goggles or dog armor, and it’ll bump it up to _150!_

    • @TheEfficientGamer
      @TheEfficientGamer  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I keep trying to make stealth work early, but it's not great early in the game... It gets better as you get higher in tier and get access to more suppressed weapon options. It's tough to make it work early in the game though, which is why I'm struggling to make a good guide for it.

      @user-sx3pc4dj3r 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​​@@TheEfficientGamer
      Stealth early tips.
      1) Don't wear armour. Use toughness if you must.
      2) buy the supressed bolt gun (308) from Trudy.
      3) do night time assaults.
      4) 4 agility is enough, ninja is for stealth melee builds, the damage boost to x 2.5 isn't worth it you can one shot everything without it.
      5) put most powerful receiver on you can to boost damage before any points in gunslinger or mister sandman
      57 damage x 2 multiplier I believe.
      A standard raider has 30 health.
      6) wear agility boosting gear, military fatigue if you get lucky, minute man clothing is fine.

    I have been getting the same bug with the stuff for Dogmeat not spawning in the first house lately. I'd say it was something to do with the update, but it did start happening before the update released (say, in the last couple of months or so), so I really can't explain it. Conversely, I've never been able to get the teddy bear in the Mole Rat Den until the playthrough I started after the update (probably my 20th run through the game). Whether that was just a freak one-off occurrence or something they fixed is something I'm curious about.

    I tried survival mode a couple of years ago and really liked the challenge of it and never had any issues. However, when I got to around Level 60 and went to Far Harbor, the game would freeze/crash whenever I left Far Harbor to go do a quest, so I always have to sleep in a rented bed just in case. Then when I went to the Vim Pop Factory, I got inside the building just fine, but once inside whenever I went through a door that involved a loading screen, the game would crash. After it did this 3 times, I said screw it, going back to very hard mode.

    Etc :( the amount of times I died to a random raider etc lol cause I either fuck up the weapons etc or just am shit at aiming on the game.

  • @MolnarG007
    @MolnarG007 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This gonna be a long comment, sorry, i couldn't help it. :)
    -Clothes: yes they give stats like armor, attribute boost, etc. You don't have to guess what can be worn below the extra armor pieces, when you select a cloth
    on the right on the vault boy every slot will blink that is used by it. Labcoat: arms, legs, chest, etc. For example some dresses don't use shoulders, etc. etc. For CHA boost hat or wig, glasses, dress/suit is quite good, best is using armor pieces that gives charisma (2x arm, 2x legs, chest).
    In Power armor ONLY the power armor modifiers are given.
    Since every INT is +3% xp you can have INT gear and wear it when completing quests that give many hundreds xp.
    If you got the leather arms and legs and chest pieces you can mod all 5 into pocketed without armorer perk, giving +30 carry capacity if all modded.
    -Heal+Food+Radiation: every heal is X hp per second (higher difficulty slower heal), i recommend favor to quick slot for quick use not only stimpacks but 2 additional Foods/Drinks. This will help A. heal 3x faster in combat (use 3 heal source) 2. will use food more since don't have to search for it.
    Grilled food, purified water is perfect but regular radiated uncookable food is ok too... radiation isn't that bad. 50 rads is only -5%hp, for 100 hp it's 5hp... even 100 150 rads is minimal max hp loss (10%-15%), and one radaway cures 300 rads. By the way if you got the DLC build the anti radiation shower arc thingy in your settlement, cheap and removes all rads. I usually favor heavier foods and grilled if i have many. If got lot of water source in settlement that generates a lot purified water, especially if you empty it regularly (take our purified water from workshop's inv.
    -scrapping in workshop mode: the object you point can be outlined YELLOW, means unmoveable, can be scrapped; or GREEN (like a table or chair upside down) that still can be scrapped but also can be just picked up and moved, place it correctly, etc. If you scrap a box or furniture that had things on it some might fall to the ground but some might vanish. Like that terminal he scrapped the table below. 1:27:39 So when scrapping start from top. Also note ALL containers will respawn items time to time if you don't scrap them. If you got perk to find more ammo or bottle caps those will spawn too in such containers. By the way those that are outlined GREEN can also be stored. Later when you want to build such furniture it will say not build but place (or sg. like this) needing no material. There are many furniture that cannot be crafted, so once you scrap them they are gone gone.
    - materials are needed to build, craft, mod, etc. You can go to your inventory, junk, material view and mark those you search for, for example Aluminium, Adhesive, circuit, copper, gold, etc. Then every junk in the world will have the magnify glass icon next to their name showing you want to loot those they containt something you look for.
    Recommend putting pre-war money, gold, silver, cigarettes into separate container, and not use them as resource but sell them (unless you desperately need their cloth or gold material for building)
    -STEALING: when settlers, provisioners, traders attacked they will grab stuff to defend. They can steal your legendary weapons, Minigun, armors, power armor, etc. and use it. Enemy too. To avoid A. never leave Fusion Core in Power Armor B. Store your legendary valuables in the root cellar box/safe (100% secure) or at least in a settlement that has no settlers for example unpopulated Red Rocket Gas Station (99% secure). If you store it anywhere in Sanctuary there is a slight chance to be stolen. If they stole your stuff try to search your provisioners and settlers (build bell and and summon them with bell, then wait 1h)
    -Bobby pins: usually there is 1 in Vault111, and few in Sanctuary. Random. if you are super unlucky and desperately need one after the Red Rocket Gas Station in Concord in the first house there is 6 bobby pin. (1 on top, 5 in a box same furniture). A. avoid the 1:46:06 bloodbug hatchling mosquitoes from hell. on high difficulty they can kill you SUPER fast. they are DEADLY. 1:46:22 the house and you can see it in the video.
    - Settlers and provisioners only need 1 ammo if you give them guns, and/or 1 grenade/molotov but don't recommend this one they will blow you up.
    - Bottle Caps, trader cap limit: when bartering with trader you can buy a costly thing and sell your stuff in the same exchange before accepting the deal.
    If you only sell and trader out of caps buy some ammo. They weight nothing and can be sold (note you will loose some bottle caps). Also i recommend luck perk finding more ammo: not only it helps you have ammo all the time but soon you will only sell the 38 ammo for money. And later you will find even more Fusion Cores randomly! Some Traders will visit Santuary too, and some of your other settlements. I always buy cheap junk, some costs almost nothing but have good materials. It might even worth to buy common things if super cheap, that has steal or something, you will use a TON of such things too.
    - Settlers can be assigned: point at them at settlement mode, order, then go for food/guard post and assign, each tend up 6 food, or generate 6 defense if assigned to a guard post.
    If your defense is at least your food+water then it's less likely your settlement gets raided. Enemies are sneaky (...they spawn inside...) so walls don't work. Better arm the settlers and put turrets everywhere. For loot early i don't make enough defense, hoping for attacks, more loot.
    If you fast travel to help defend them i recommend build the welcome mat that sets you where you arrive on a spot where it's good to appear when enemies around (near parked power armor, or at a higher spot/roof, etc.)
    - Fusion Cores: Power armor contantly use Fusion Core. Remove it when parking to avoid others stealing it. Sprinting depletes it faster. Fast travel don't deplete it at all. Companion can be ordered (similar to assigning settlers to tend crops or be on guard duty in defense post) into power armor, they don't deplete it's core (and can carry more it set strength to 11). Settlers, provisioners can be ordered into power armor too. I personally only use Power Armor for big battles, where many enemies concentrated (like Corvega, etc.) then fast travel home and park it. If you remove FC just before depleted it sells for the same price.
    Also the game automatically uses one 100% FC when entering, so always check manually and tranfer one already used or you will have half a dozen various used ones. Fun fact: if someone dies in power armor (even if it was yours) you cannot get the frame back, remove the body from it. You can only loot the armor pieces (massive weight) You can repair power armor that has no fusion core in it, so always first remove the FC.
    -Guns, weapons: worse weapon can be still good, if different ammo. If easy battle don't waste your main gun's ammo, use a pipe weapon. Easy to mod, tons of ammo for it. Using 10mm ammo for rad roaches is a mistake. Sometimes early even for a shooter character a good melee can be practical. Beside damage the rate of fire and it's range are important stats too.

      -shooting: medium long range needs different weapon then pistol. VATS is always good when got AP, % determined by gun and your perception+distance. Critical is guaranteed hit even if 1%. Crouch before combat to get sneak damage multiplier for the first damage (2x if no additional perks). The lighter the weapon the less AP it uses to shoot, an ultra light 10mm might fire 5x as many with AP full. Also shooting in VATS fills up crit meter, having 1 ultralight gun (pipe or 10mm) can help you recharge your crit super fast (blap blap blap blap blap).
      You can remove most mods from weapons, or replace them with basic mods. Then they are in your inventory. (can be put in workshop inventory). Later you can use those mods without perk to build it, or material. BUT must be same type of gun, for example a 10mm gun mod is only good for 10mm gun. A pipe mod good only for pipe guns, etc. But this way if you find a cool mod in the wild on a gun but it has otherwise worst build you can remove that mod and put on yours.
      Also if you find for example a legendary 10mm you can remove all mods of your current modded 10mm gun and put them on the legendary.
      Accuracy is the base to hit chance for that gun. However the range gives huges minues if out of range, so best to mode a gun to have bigger range. Pistol, shotgun will never have good long range. (one perk slightly increase pistol's range at high level).
      -with Lone wanderer (super amazing) perk the dog Dogmeat can still be used. Dogmeat carries more when wears collar. It is a good perk even with other companion: when full and companion full with stuff dismiss companion send him/her/it back to your base, and then Lone wanderer helps you loot even more. :)
      - Fast Travel cost lot of time, if you want to make sure nothing despawn/respawn it's usually better to run on foot (for example you cleared Corvega and you carry loot back on multple go, if you fast travel things might disappear even more raiders might appear after a few travel, depends on difficulty).
      -Workshop once you search/activate it that settlement is yours. Neautral ones cannot be actvated before cretain mission, favor done for it.
      -easier early Concord battles: Codsworth is stronger in melee, as soon as you discover the museum your initial quest finished you can turn around (loot bodies first) and run back to Sanctuary. Codsworth will join you. (drop all loot in workshop, from Dogmeat too.)
      -companions are immortal, they can go down during battle and sit till it ends or you run really far away. Using stimpack on them makes them return to fight instantly, usually it's a waste of stimpack. Human companions can be equiped weapons, armor, grenades, even stimpack.
      -Death Claw: i find Minigun almost useless, it's only good from short distance, so don't waste 10mm ammo on the Death Claw, if it's near use minigun (till you run out of ammo). I so hate Minigun (inaccurate and heavy) i always either sell them and their ammo or give them to a settler/provisioner. Ammo too.
      - Drumlin Diner: i never go for charisma, i always end up killing Wolfgang. a. i want the drug dealers dead b. i can also loot them c. killing them gets you in good mood with the owner of Drumlin Diner, Trudy, who will give you better prices for the rest of the game. And drugs are extremely costly to buy and we find them everywhere so drug dealer isn't needed. And Trudy is an easy to find trader, good source for junks.
      - max settler number in settlement is based on your charisma. when maxed (10+CHA) you can temporarly wear something that gives charisma, then send settler there then remove that cloth. The recruitment signal has limited range, if you got one in sanctuary might worth to do one at another settlement of yours a little away from current one.
      - SPECIAL stats: up to you how you start, 1 recommend Endurance 1. that is 85hp lvl1, would be 105 with endurance 5. In return you can invest in other stats.
      I play always very hard, never had issue with hp. (you must heal anyways, it's like a gun that can have 3 or 4 bullets in magazine you will reload regularly. 3 or 4 hits kills you, don't matter, heal, be smart).

    I am pretty pissed. I started playing again on the "next gen" PS5 version.
    Got the blackface bug, met doc anderson early on and was not even 10 people in settlements let alone 20 to recruit her, and I got too many settlements early so preston gave me the castle quest straight away so I cannot even get him as a companion and get his perk.
    I hadn't even got to diamond city.
    Bad RNG, Gonna have to restart.

      You don't necessarily have to start over. Once you take the Castle, you will be able to recruit Preston as a companion at that time and work towards getting his affinity provided you don't move ahead in the main quest line or DLC in a way that alienates the Minutemen.

      Only a few enemies follow your level. They just get more tanky, but you get more tanky and get access to better gear and perks to do more damage, so you scale much better than enemies as you level.

    Does anyone else hate the new update? I lost all playthrough and there are mods I can’t even redownload. Plus it skips and catches so much now. I deleted everything then downloaded the whole game again and it still skips. And you can’t play the game without the update. I tried to not install the update but it won’t load the game without the update. There should have been an option to not use it. Bethesda screwed some of us with this.
