14 Things Fallout 4 Doesn't Tell You
Ойындар
With the release of the Fallout TV show, and the imminent next-gen updates for Fallout 4, we thought some of our old guides could use a refresh, so here's 14 Things Fallout 4 Doesn't Tell You, modernized for 2024 with all the things we've learned since launch!
We cover settlements, crafting, mods, and more in this tips video. Fallout 4 is a massive game, deep with systems and mechanics that directly affect how easy it is to survive the post apocalypse. While tutorials will explain some things, there’s still plenty the game won’t teach, such as specifics on weapon and inventory management, skill points, important perks, and more!

2:32 There's a Magical Place You Should Save Your Game
3:11 You Should Build a Bell
3:30 You're Carrying a Game Boy
3:49 You Can Tag Materials You're Looking For

It’s still considered a terrible game. Poor gameplay and graphics. Non existent story/RP. It was most liked at launch. But most players never actually finished the main quest line. Just such a bland boring experience. Fo4 is only fun with mods.

Differently from the "updated" Starfield base building, unfortunately
Base clothing that goes under armor is also really handy to get used to for two reasons. One, a fair number of such clothing options (like military fatigues) can improve your stats. Second, once you get your hands on ballistic weave, you can modify that clothing to be pretty much as protective as normal armor, and as far as I'm aware, it stacks with any augmented armor you're wearing on top for maximum protection.
My dream are coming true, people enjoying Fallout 4 again :D

You should also have at least 1 point in the scrapper perk. Looting weapons and armor over-encumber you really fast, while crafting materials weigh next to nothing in comparison. However, you are throwing away caps if you scrap gear without this perk.
This game received so much criticism in its first year, but when you take into consideration all other modern open world games after this year, fallout 4 is arguably one of the best. So much replay ability, the shooting and looting mechanics are amazing, plenty of cool characters, great dlc and far harbor does a ton story wise if you didn’t like the main story, plus the crafting and settlement building offers infinite creative potential. There are downgrades on dialogue, but there are so many unique places to visit on the map, quests, and the overall lore in the game is still great.
Jeez, it's kinda like Fallout is really popular again all of a sudden and Fallout 4 is the best of those games to play? Rhetorical question BTW.

If you max out your settlement "size" you can go find a bunch of weapons and junk and bring them back and scrap them inside that settlement and it will think you scrapped pieces of the settlement and allow you to build more things!

One does not simply finish fallout 4…..because another settlement needs your help, I’ll mark it on your map!
2:30 If you play on survival mode, where you only get three rolling autosaves, when you get to this point, even if you're other wise happy with your build, make sure you change your name. This will start a new set of saves and leave your old save just before you get to the elevator intact. If you want to try another build you can go back to that save and make the changes you want rather than starting from scratch.
If you get trade routes going, your stored workbench inventory can be accessed from any settlement's workbench along the trade routes.
5:26 Explains you’re “in for a surprise” if you don’t go to the vault in the beginning of the game. Proceed to show the same footage everyone sees when they do go to the vault. Fantastic editing IGN

Always remove your fusion core from any power armor you store/ stash away. If there is a workshop nearby you can store it there.
Great video! Just as a point of clarity, on Playstation when you're looking at your list of save files to load, the top one in the list is always your most recent save.
Fallout has completely taken over my algorithm
It also doesn't tell you that if you side with the Minutemen, you're gonna be the one doin all the work while they freeload
Correction: Recycling the structures will deposit any items inside containers into your workbench. So no need to really loot the place when you can just go through in build mode and recycle
Also don't know when hacking a computer you can cycle through all the letters and numbers until you come across a bracketed section it will take away the words that are duds and even give you one try reset from time to time

It only tracks your last worn armor, so make sure to dump any extras at your settlements!!
Can't wait to finally finish the DLC and mop up a few more quests
You can tell a companion to loot corpses and container endlessly. It takes a little patience, but you come home with a truckload.
These videos are really damn handy. Thanks for creating them :)

Nice editing for #12 Not showing what happens when you try to leave Sanctuary instead of going to the vault
Manual shooting is better than vats most of the time but you still want to use vats so you can bank a critical for those dangerous moments where you need to do alot of damage and it guarantees a hit.
