Can you beat Fallout 4 as Santa Claus? Only weapon allowed is the Junk Jet loaded with children's toys.Optionally, the only armor you can wear is the Sexy Santa suit from the creation club. Bonus points if it's Nate in the suit.
This is impressive. Although, I know a guy who beat Fallout 4 using only caltrops. Did you know people die if you reverse-pickpocket caltrops into their inventory? That took care of a lot of baddies. The rest involved lots and lots of patience.
Challenge run idea: You can only use institute items: synth armor and weapons. Stuff like that. I imagine the hardest part would be progressing far enough to get into the Institute.
Honestly, I don't think it would? The hardest part would be doing Fire Support, which would involve running away from ghouls while Danse slowly whittles them down. The moment that that's over, you can grab Institute weapons from the synths Danse kills at ArcJet and then it's a normal run.
Excellent video! I think the Institute has to be the hardest side, due to the assault on the BoS. Challenge suggestions: No crafting. You can never touch a workbench, chemistry station, or cooking station. Only use what you find or buy. No perks. You can only spend points on stats. Skyrim Illiterate Mage. Can't use spell tomes, only learn spells from npcs or items.
i think molotovs use the whole bottle as their hit box, which rotates in the air. This is why they're more finicky than other, regularly shaped explosives.
First vid I've seen from you- 3 minutes in and I just wanted to say 1) Excellent choice on avoiding the sneak perk...if your guy just loves things going boom he's not going to be subtle and most people miss that part. 2- explaining the grenades, I don't have this game but watching it and skyrim are fascinating because the AI can easily just derp out in new ways. I didn't know there were grenades that summoned npcs
you and mittens squad are why i play and do challange runs in fallout games. gotta say they make the game a lot more interesting. my current survival run is using modern weapons with no armor. with the modern weapons mod im often shredded before i can even see the enemy. i would love to see how you would handle it. keep up the good work on these challange runs
17:45 I forget if legendary armor pieces are against the rules of the challenge. If not there is a chest armor piece you can buy at bunker hill with the dense modification that significantly reduces explosive damage taken
see this shit is why i watch you Its not a exceedingly impossible, gamebreaking ruleset, or a super competitive speedrun Its just some dude playing a videogame and feeling some pain and glory Very nice man, as always
With Skinny Malone you could've preemptively laid mines there he and his gang will spawn. When they turn hostile the mines trigger almost instantly and kill everyone. I did it with 3 bottlecaps mines on Very Hard, but you might need less actually.
9/10 Great vid, but the DOOM music is too quiet at the montages. Other than that, I might try this for myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the Wasteland Workshop DLC so I'll have to make do without caltrops.
I don't swear in scripts because I never feel the need to, but I swear all the time in normal conversation. The streams are profanity riddled to the point where most of them get demonetized.
Long time no comment Willow! I got myself an Xbox Series S recently so I thought I would give it another go. So far I only have $30 of CC mods installed and no mods. Aside from the occasional game crashes from the PS4, so far the new console is working pretty well. I have already completed the CC mod quests and I started on the Nuka World stuff. So far the only bugs I have, is the lack of ability to complete Gage's companion missions and the game crashing with both the Sentient Power Armor and Gage as my partners for some reason. Other than that, making good progress and I am almost to where I was at before the PS4 run died.
neat run, but like was mentioned partway through the video-getting blast padding armor would have helped make this run a lot less frustrating to do with much less self inflicted damage
Molotovs are the bane of my existence in Fallout 4. They have a wonky spinning hitbox that makes them explode on bad geometry unless you're an NPC with perfect aim and their blast radius is, like, twice as large as it should be.
I wonder if Willow doesn't know about ballistic weave, forgets about it, or really likes being a glass cannon. Perhaps there's something else going on even.
I am well aware of ballistic weave. Have used it in multiple runs. I just don't see the point in getting it every run as it's really boring. It's also fun to have the challenges be a bit more challenging. The video wouldn't be as fun if I never had a frustrating moment. It's not even a challenge if there's no adversity.
Have you ever done an Acid Soaker or Caltrops only survival run? 🔫 I just know that these would probably offer the greatest challenge to any play through. Also RIP Mittensquad, we’ll miss you Paul.
@WillowPlaysGames nice. Only partially into the video, watching through the day here and there. Random thought, but can you beat Fallout 4 on survival, with just the world series bat? Just something off the top of my head. I play on survival nigh exclusively, and the only melee run I've done on it was a blast, and I feel like adding that might be even more fun. Thanks for what you do Willow!
I know this ran is far past but one thing I noticed was left out and that was the Minutemen Artillery Smoke Grenade from the beginning weapons to be used in this playthrough.
If u kill the railroad early, than the institute quest is completed on the spot when dad gives it to you. And u can decode the chip with them dead. So u could have just thrown grenades at them when u first meat them.
A fun challenge that Ive actually done is power fist only. Yes, bare fists only is a common run, but the power fist is both more fun and more module, with the main difficulty being finding it and dealing with melee enemies and mirelurks. But it is still incredibly fun, especially with a strength/agility run, rather than strength/endurance. Add on some luck and charisma, and you've got a very strange but very fun run
Theres a challenge run ive wanted to see done for a while now... ive personally done it and it is FUN... basically, the challenge is "can you beat fallout 4 with only power armor". I think it was mitten squad (may he find peace in his walk through the veil) that did a similar challenge, but this one would badically just limit all weapons to things your power armor can do... jetpack/explosive vents, pain train perk, and power armor mma with bonus electroshock therapy and bloody knuckles for added fun. As i said, ive done this build before and its actually super fun to fist fight a deathclaw wearing a mini tank.
PLEASE do a "scientist" run, where you focus on robots (including codsworth), power armor and energy weapons only. It would be awesome if you did it either with the railroad or the institute! You could even call yourself Tony Stark hahahaa
Irma Goboom. Cmon, Expa Load? But there is something hilarious about chucking caltrops into crying grounded enemies. As an aside the power attack is also mapped to the grenade button, maybe allow unarmed PAs? 28:51 sheeee!
17:09 Why waste your molotovs on those turrets? You can sneak by them and later on you can shut them down via a computer terminal after killing Kellogg.
Willow completely forgot about the shock grenade until he finds one and is like "oh yeah those exist too whoops I forgot to put that in the intro thoughts part"
no, I just didn't think they'd be useful and honestly they weren't the only fight with robots that was difficult wasn't that much of an issue with normal grenades.
Synth grenades are only useful against very low level enemies because you get 1x gen 1 synth per grenade and even mid level enemies will simply one shot them
Bottlecap mines are exceedingly rare to find in the world and crafting them requires Vault-Tec lunchboxes, which are also an uncommon item. Even finding either, its still difficult to amass a sizable quantity of them so essentially they are nonexistent
I would have never found you or Fallout challenge runs if it wasn't for Mitten Squad
Rest in peace, Mitten Squad
I just heard the news. It's incredibly sad. He was the first challenge runner I ever saw
@@WillowPlaysGames Carry the torch, dont let the fire go out
This comment is how I found out.
Truly heartbreaking, I was really rooting for him.
At the very least, he's not suffering now.
RIP Mr. Squad.
your joking right?
Can you beat Fallout 4 as Santa Claus? Only weapon allowed is the Junk Jet loaded with children's toys.Optionally, the only armor you can wear is the Sexy Santa suit from the creation club. Bonus points if it's Nate in the suit.
I love it
Yes that would be great to see

Can't forget the legendary Syringer alone run relying on the bleeder syringes.....good lord was that a torturous one to watch lol.
What a caltrop
Caltrops can Insta-kill!?
@@11epicnoob Depends on whether the total damage of all projectiles deals more than the total health of the target.
Challenge run idea: You can only use institute items: synth armor and weapons. Stuff like that.
I imagine the hardest part would be progressing far enough to get into the Institute.
It's not so bad, you can get some institute gear a few ways without getting to them.
Just going to Arcjet Systems with Danse can get you several Institute Pistols/Rifles
Honestly, I don't think it would? The hardest part would be doing Fire Support, which would involve running away from ghouls while Danse slowly whittles them down. The moment that that's over, you can grab Institute weapons from the synths Danse kills at ArcJet and then it's a normal run.
Just have to make it to arcjet.
and then after that he could do a minutemen gear only run and then railroad,bos etc
Excellent video! I think the Institute has to be the hardest side, due to the assault on the BoS.
Challenge suggestions:
No crafting. You can never touch a workbench, chemistry station, or cooking station. Only use what you find or buy.
No perks. You can only spend points on stats.

I read the thumbnail and started laughing as I realised how fun it would be watching this suffering :D Thank you!
*insert demoman from tf2 laugh*
👍👍
KABOOOM!!
KABOOM
Now I want an Eyepatch clothing item, even if it gives me -1 PER
THERE GONNA HAVE TA GULE YOU BACK TOGETHER

Omg new WILLOW VIDEO!!! Welcome back willow glad you got that stuff sorted out ❤
Early to a willow video is such a W. I love you willow, your videos make my day everytime I watch them.
Stay beautiful! Glad you enjoyed!!
Dude you’re back that’s awesome I missed your content
see this shit is why i watch you
Its not a exceedingly impossible, gamebreaking ruleset, or a super competitive speedrun
Its just some dude playing a videogame and feeling some pain and glory
Very nice man, as always
Very late, but NPCs don't react to baseball grenades, so they won't try to avoid them
With Skinny Malone you could've preemptively laid mines there he and his gang will spawn. When they turn hostile the mines trigger almost instantly and kill everyone. I did it with 3 bottlecaps mines on Very Hard, but you might need less actually.
These challenges are so cool! Great video :D
great vid keep it up willow 🙂
Danse had hair under his buzz lightyear costume… never knew
9/10
Great vid, but the DOOM music is too quiet at the montages. Other than that, I might try this for myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the Wasteland Workshop DLC so I'll have to make do without caltrops.
The greentech genetics fight was sick
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well Willow. Much love to ya
I really hate how Bethesda removed making Nuka Grenades in Fallout 4. With all the Nuka variants, I could've had some fun with that. A lot of fun.
I somehow never knew about the fatman room in ArcJet. This kind of stuff is why I enjoy Bethesda games so much.
Walkmans were super awesome! You missed out by missing the era of cassette tapes. Truly a civilized time. o7
I used cassette tapes in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a while, they are fun to use I'll give you that.
Love the mid rage sesh tbh thought it was gonna be worse but for never hearing you swear kinda surprised you'd kept it in
I don't swear in scripts because I never feel the need to, but I swear all the time in normal conversation. The streams are profanity riddled to the point where most of them get demonetized.

Jokes aside this was quite a fun watch, well done good sir!
neat run, but like was mentioned partway through the video-getting blast padding armor would have helped make this run a lot less frustrating to do with much less self inflicted damage
was about to look up a video of yours
good timing!
Molotovs are the bane of my existence in Fallout 4. They have a wonky spinning hitbox that makes them explode on bad geometry unless you're an NPC with perfect aim and their blast radius is, like, twice as large as it should be.
Which also be instant killing u
This is great must have been tuff though.

@@WillowPlaysGames Okay. Thanks.
Raider drinking challenge Take a shot every he says “grenades,traps and mines”
Have you ever done an Acid Soaker or Caltrops only survival run? 🔫
I just know that these would probably offer the greatest challenge to any play through.
Also RIP Mittensquad, we’ll miss you Paul.
I'm watching and only thinking 'What about baseball grenades and Moe's constant restock of baseballs?' This is when he showed the first 4 nades.
I do end up using baseball grenades in the run, just didn't mention them in the beginning because I didn't know how likely it was I'd have them often.

I hope “mutt-fruit” is a joke. lol
4:23
I get woken up to see my WIFE getting absolutely blasted by Kellog
Theres also the nuka grenades from nuka world devastating amounts of damage at the cost of you easily being in its range
I was aware but also didn't want to go through the gauntlet as it would of been hellish with this run.
Dam i was waiting for a granade run 🎉
a challenge idea where all damage is done by NPCs meaning companions, hacked turrets, and instigated enemies
They're gonna have to glue Fallout 4 back together...IN HELL
Comfy ass video, you have a really nice voice :)
thanks!
Id say your rage was quite dialed down, but it did earn a like and subscribe with a comment from me. Well played
I would love a „Can you beat Fallout 4 only with the Junk Jet“
I’m pretty sure I suggested this. I’m excited to check it out.
Hope you like it!
I know this ran is far past but one thing I noticed was left out and that was the Minutemen Artillery Smoke Grenade from the beginning weapons to be used in this playthrough.
the list in the beginning is to cover my options, not dictate what I'll use. I also mentioned others that weren't used in this run
you chose very similar dialogue options to me, this adds nothing but i thought it was kinda neat
Kinda wish this was a minutemen playthrough, so you could use the artillery grenade
Thank you for the video
If u kill the railroad early, than the institute quest is completed on the spot when dad gives it to you.
And u can decode the chip with them dead.
So u could have just thrown grenades at them when u first meat them.

You could've saved at Cambridge police station. They have beds.

I've always wanted to try this!
It was pretty fun! Go give it a try some time!
I caught a couple of the live streams great tobsee the final product
I have *Thousands* of hours in this game. So many play throughs! And yet, I have never used a caltrop. Boy, have I ever missed out on a good time!
Around 7 minute mark. *maniacal laughing*
Lelouch, is that you?
Ya doin good lad!
I've gotta say, that laugh is amazing. You should try hard (or survival if you want) with only the rolling pin
I encountered the exact same bug just a few hours ago. 21:27
PLEASE do a "scientist" run, where you focus on robots (including codsworth), power armor and energy weapons only. It would be awesome if you did it either with the railroad or the institute!
You could even call yourself Tony Stark hahahaa
If I had to spend 2 god damn adhesive for a single molotov I would suffer too.
Quick tip you can use the water fountain in the fault and it doesn’t give you rads
Run request: beating fallout 4 survival difficulty using the MAIM mod. Use whatever guns n stuff you want cos you’ll need them XD
Play as a baseball player, only bats and baseball grenades
Irma Goboom. Cmon, Expa Load? But there is something hilarious about chucking caltrops into crying grounded enemies. As an aside the power attack is also mapped to the grenade button, maybe allow unarmed PAs? 28:51 sheeee!
My legendary drop luck is infamously bad. I get amazing legendaries every time I can't use them and horrible ones when I can
29:20 Father knows what's up. Outside is overrated. Too bright, too loud, too many people, 3/10.
Run void: Piper punched.
17:09 Why waste your molotovs on those turrets? You can sneak by them and later on you can shut them down via a computer terminal after killing Kellogg.
Because in survival you have to sleep to save, multiple turrets are too close to the bed and prevent that
Would love to see you try doing runs based on Characters from other series
Some people just enjoy suffering for others enjoyment lol
After seeing this run, I wanna see how you handle doing a similar rum but with the remote explosives mod
That NY apartment line hit a little too hard
Lol
i remember asking for this run
Welcome back
Willow is that friend youd peer pressure into speaking at your funeral
YOU. NEED. MORE. RECOGNITION
If you were to do this challenge using the Next Gen Update you *could* upgrade it to an explosives only run- Mines, Grenades, and Grenade Launchers
Woe, shrapnel be upon ye
Poor triggerman died to crotchtrops.
Lol
Do you know of the bomb bunker in sanctuary? There are a lot of items for sell and has chance of granada
I checked it in this run. Just didn't mention it. The gold bars gave me the caps needed to get all the way through the diamond city blues quest
This is how I play in all fallout games
Willow completely forgot about the shock grenade until he finds one and is like "oh yeah those exist too whoops I forgot to put that in the intro thoughts part"
no, I just didn't think they'd be useful and honestly they weren't the only fight with robots that was difficult wasn't that much of an issue with normal grenades.
Your willow your the best you can beat anything fallout 4
You really need to learn some more bed locations for these survival challenges^^
they’re gonna have to put what’s left of ya in a sOup can
Synth grenades are only useful against very low level enemies because you get 1x gen 1 synth per grenade and even mid level enemies will simply one shot them
Fallout 4 as a atom cat
1hr gang❤
great video :)
I miss him so much 😢
Why doesn't he ever grab the ring to sell because in this challenge that's a free 500 caps
That's your dead wife bro, C'mon
@@scrublimeyeah, she's dead, she's not gonna use it is she?
I'm surprised you didn't use bottlecap mines, they do 301 damage before perks
Bottlecap mines are exceedingly rare to find in the world and crafting them requires Vault-Tec lunchboxes, which are also an uncommon item. Even finding either, its still difficult to amass a sizable quantity of them so essentially they are nonexistent
Typical Bethesda, pretending to give us options.
