Great guide! One thing I would add is the free .44 revolver you can find as soon as you leave the Vault. After you cross Sanctuary's bridge, (where the dead drifter is) turn left and keep going till you find a large machine with a hose. There you can find a .44 revolver, some drugs, and caps.

Only five rounds for it though

When I found the original Fallout, way back when, I became a Fallout player. I've played them all except FO 76. (I don't care for team play.) And I am apparently the only player that did not fall in love with FO New Vegas. I bought a new PC specifically to play FO 4 since my laptop couldn't cut it. I preordered FO 4 and was at the store the day they called to tell me it had gone public and I could pick up my copy. I've been playing it ever since. I don't have a clue how many hours I have invested in FO 4, but it has to be many thousands. I have trudged all over the commonwealth while over encumbered, so I don't mind jogging everywhere in Survival difficulty. Like Super Twonky, I do not undertake quests I do not want to mess with. I loot everything, missing very little. I use only 3 mods. One makes dead bodies glow after a firefight so I can find them for looting purposes. The second moves the Settlement Needs Help Notification to the middle of my screen so I cannot miss it. And the third is My Jet Pack because I like to get on top of buildings to admire the view. I'm not into being the fastest to get to the finish line, or to get a higher level than anyone else, or to build the fanciest settlement or have the meanest weapon, or the absolute best armor. Things like that. I'm also not big on using booze or chems. I use only Stimpacs, Radx, Radaway, Grape Mentats, and beer. I collect Power Armor but seldom use them. I carry 5 weapons, 1 is a Silenced upgraded .308 Pipe Sniper Rifle, the other is a regular upgraded Sniper Rifle in 50 cal. I carry an upgraded 10mm, an upgraded Combat Rifle and the Laser rifle Danse gave me (I forget it's name). My armor is a mix of all types with 3 Legendary pieces. I have joined the Minutemen, Railroad and BOS. The one and only time I went to the Institute, I couldn't believe my eyes. They lived like this and let the rest of the Commonwealth live in squaller. These are the bad guys in my eyes, forever. I decided I would play as a Minuteman or a Good Guy Nobody. This play thru I took Preston and friends to Sanctuary and set them up. Then told Preston I would not join the Minutemen. Even with that, I go around setting up settlements and helping them out. When I set up a settlement, I try to make it to accommodate a minimum of 20 settlers (beds, food, water) with around 100 defense, before I turn on the beacon. I'm a big believer in the Decontamination Arch. I'm old and have retired twice. I'm retired military. I worked as a civilian until I retired in Sept 1999 almost 3 years before my heart went south. Now I'm a disabled vet, with a bad heart, half blind, and I live to play my favorite game, Fallout 4. Lt USN (ret)

Wow! I really appreciate you taking the time to putting this together. I have been thinking about starting a 'Survival' play through, but i have been really hesitant.

Great guide. Have used it to restart my journey in the wasteland. Two things I’d like to add: 1) near the Robotics disposal ground is a crashed vertibird where you can find a suit of power armor. Good for anything you run into and with the added carry weight, you’re able to grab more items to create more poisoned caltrops. 2) due west of Sanctuary is an irradiated bunker where you can find an army helmet. Another good find for early in the game (be careful in this area though because of bloatflies and blood bugs).

Simple, informative, entertaining, just the best video for starters or even players coming back to the game like me. New Subscriber, keep on the great work ❤

Man, from a total newbie, thank you so much for this guide. Not only was it amazing to figure out the value of crafting Poison Caltrops, just seeing the routes you walked was super useful.

Interesting guide. A long time ago, I finished the game deathless on survival. I had no strategy besides rushing power armor and the explosive machine gun. That was it. The rest was pure improv. Nice to see your take on it. Well done.

This is the closest thing to my survival starts as I have ever seen in youtube. You even gave me a couple little tips I never tried before. Nicely done from a fellow 3000+ hours into this game person.

Excellent vid. A few things to add: 1. Sniping: A short scope can be added to a rifle easily with no Gun Nut perk. Or get the guaranteed sniper rifle from the sniper house in Concord (taking that was not shown) 2. VATS: For VATS users, mod a Light Receiver onto a 10mm pistol right away. This cheap mod *significantly* increases firepower. Add a tactical sight if possible. Do the same with a pipe pistol (light, tactical). 3. This video rightly shows avoiding contact but for when that fails, mod a double barrel shotgun with heavy receiver and long barrel for those "oh crap" moments. 4. Armour: By far the best armour you can get early game is go to the fight between Diamond City guards and supermutants, and passively collect armour from dead DC guards. Combine with some decent leg armour.

14:40 I've done a lot of runs in the beginning area of Fallout 4. For some reason, the two Bloatflies there near the water tower and the three Bloatflies along the river if you go left after leaving the vault have a chance of being tougher than a Bloatfly should be at that level. It's like they spawn several levels higher than they should. It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough that I always check them out in VATS first to see how much damage I can deal them. If they aren't going to lose a lot of HP per hit, I know they're the higher level versions and I might avoid them until I can boost the damage of my weapons. 21:10 You forgot to mention that shooting the monkey keeps the three makeshift bombs from going off if the monkey activates. Otherwise, you should disarm the bombs (which gets you some XP and some components). 28:30 I was going to comment that going up the billboard spawns raiders, but you knew that too. You forgot to mention, though, that giving Carla the sarcastic response (like you did) gets you a permanent 10% discount from her. Also, that raider camp on the other side of the rocks always has an Addictol. Good for selling or keeping on hand just in case.

You can get a SPECIAL stat permanently to eleven very early by taking a debuff chem or alcohol just before you pick up the SPECIAL book in Shaun's room. Alcohol will drop your INT temporarily, pick up the book and add a point into INT and after the booze wears off you're at 11 points of INT.

I usually go 7 agility 3 endurance. I play permadeath with a save file right after scrapping Sanctuary to reload to. If you sleep in Sanctuary you can do RedRocket, Sunshine Tidings, Walden Pond, store your stuff back at RR or Sanctuary then go do Concord, the Museum, Speakeasy and the area under the Deathclaw. From a save after scrapping Sanctuary you'll not need to sleep until you meet Trashcan Carla near Starlight Drive. Also if you don't make safety saves so you have a few levels of adreneline you can 1 shot Walter with the hunting rifle found in the Walden Pond sewers or a pipe-bolt action rifle, Whislash is an easy kill. If you do kill them there is another guaranteed Whiskey and Big Jim to sell. Alternatively about half of the time I'll have picked up a mine or two by this time so you could just kill Whiplash and get Walter with the mine.

Wow that was a F4 masterclass. Incredible effort!

Very solid start. Anyone that reaches the end will have a powerful base on which to build. I’m a Survival only player, and those legendary items are good enough for the entire game. I’m using some now on my level 70. I’ve heard of the poisoned caltrops start. It’s never been for me. It breaks immersion. Scrapping entire communities is very video gamey min-maxing. Treating everything as expendable. Settlers will want things. I can’t bring myself to do it. The other thing I avoid is going on long journeys just to grab primo loot. Reason being, the game sets enemy level to yours when you enter a new zone. And it stays that way, permanently. In the case of this video, parts of Lexington, Cambridge, western and central Boston, and Bunker Hill zones will be based off a level 10 character. This has the effect of lowering the quality of the loot you might find, either fixed, random or legendary. Also, the enemies are like paper, once you return with your buffer build, which isn’t fun for me. That being said, I would strongly consider this start for a Permadeath run. I can imagine myself doing a poisoned caltrops start and run through major areas of the game for primo loot. Easier enemies? Sign me up! Oh, I didn’t see you mention the 5% melee resist magazine in the Ranger Cabin North of Abernathy, or the Army Helmet by the military transport on the west side of Sanctuary. Maybe I missed that, but both could be useful, so I thought I’d share. At least you didn’t go Spray n’ Pray, amirite?!?

@SuperTwonky

Жыл бұрын

I don’t consider any of the zones I went to to be late game zones. To me, they are all early game, so I’m not really concerned about the enemy levels. I typically try to do Boston After Dark before level 15 to avoid potentially setting off the Automatron DLC, so going there at level 10 doesn’t seem like too big a deal. If I’m looking for tough enemies to fight later in the game, I’d go to Quincy, the Glowing Sea, or maybe even the Malden area. Also, you can use poisoned caltrops to buy shipments of steel and make a profit, so you can easily restore the lost resources to the settlement 😀 Funnily enough, I had originally planned on mentioning spray n pray as an alternative to the OG, but just forgot about it. I think in general, the OG is better for this guide, since it functions well as semi auto or full auto, and it doesn’t eat through as much ammo.

@@SuperTwonky I can see your point. They are the earlier areas. And I avoid setting off Automatron, too. I thought I’d mention it, though, for the players that want to search every nook and cranny, especially newer players exploring everything. They should know be aware that they change their gameworld up (permanently) from the travels it takes to acquire the items you suggest at the level you did it at. I’ve chatted with a number of players about this mechanic, and no one knew about it. But they said it explains a lot about why their games felt different. Especially when it came to the fixed loot. Most notably Power Armor, and the level and number of pieces spawned. All I’m saying, is it’s good information, that might inspire some (the newer ones, who might be watching this video for help) to take their progression at a slower pace than you, and push into those areas after exploring the earliest zones thoroughly. Also, another good point, that I could buy the settlers new stuff, later. I’m just being stubborn with keeping some level of immersion. It’s impractical. I know. I may grow out of it, after a year of solid play.

Great tip to use dogmeat.

Good stuff ! 👍

Survival is really the only way to play IMHO. Also, there are some leather armor pieces in the woods north of sanctuary by the river, plus a raider, their dog, and some loot further north. There is actually a lot of stuff around Sanctuary to loot and get you a good start.

For real, after playing survival I don't even see how people have fun without survival mode lol, it makes you feel like a normal person in the huge wastelands rather than playing on easy or normal and being a walking god that can destroy anything with 1 shot

Some over looked loot in the areas you went... such as a fusion core at walden pond... but that made it feel more authentic exploring and finding it myself lol.

@13:48 You know, Fallout has a fun mechanic called VATS that makes it super easy to hit enemies like bloatflies that dodge around. Especially when using melee. You should try it sometime 🤓

General Chao’s Revenge sold by Trudy is a solid early game melee weapon. The legendary effect isn’t great, but it’s a Chinese sword with decent mods. I think the Rockville Slugger, sold by Moe in Diamond City is a good early game weapon too, but I don’t think alive actually used it myself. Another one you can get fairly early is the Fencebuster. Go across the very top of the map and you can get to Far Harbor without encountering enemies. Run past Allen and Avery so you don’t trigger the attack and head down the road to the hotel. It’s a little dangerous but you can run through the hotel past all of the ghouls, head down into the vault with the robobrains, and grab the Fencebuster in the dining room. You can also solve the murder while you are at it for some good XP and a bunch of pre-war money. Other than that, Kremvh’s Tooth from Dunwich Borers is solid. And late game if you complete Nuka World and ally with the Disciples, talk to Nisha and she’ll give you an instigating Disciples cutlass, which is by far the best guaranteed melee weapon.

Survival game is awesome. the settlement become so important.

Love the videos, i hit the bell!

Thank you! Glad to hear it :)

I see people have mentioned the snub nose 44 and cap stash on the other side of the river around sanctuary but if you "Bethesda" your way up the the rock face there is a little sleeping bag and ammo box tucked inside a little hole a raider and his dog have made. this box sometimes has fusion cores in it the north of that is the robotics scrap yard so guaranteed 3 fusion cores a fat man and nuke (if you self destruct the sentry bot) and just east of that is a power armor frame that due to your level will only have a few parts. all of that stuff can be traded between the three traders around Drumlins diner. or you can keep the stuff if you plan to grab the power Armour from the museum and the two fusion cores in concord and the one from under red rocket and you will have plenty of juice to book it down Diamond city in relative safety where you can Caltrops/steel shipment loop your self to being rich.... if that the playthrough you want to do. thats the only thing different i do in my survival games oh and I grab the stuff from the duffel bag on the roof of the building in sanctuary in front of the root cellar.

If you kill all the molerats and go into the cave first the bloatflies are always gonna be “bugged”. Same thing can happen to rad roaches in sanctuary if you don’t kill them first and hit the bunker first. I can’t remember why? This is a great Guide by the way!

Fallout 4 is so much fun on survival. Really the best way to enjoy the game.

Thanks for your guides. I really enjoyed heavy weapons build. But I did different running for Gatling Laser as fast as I can. But learned other things from your guide. Btw I'm not into mods, but I dont like gattling laser leaving half-empty fusion cores, so maybe I will start using some mods to fix issues. What mods are you running?

I don't really use any mods that change the game significantly. Primarily visual mods like enhanced blood textures and vivid fallout all-in-one. Re-enabling console on survival, outfit switcher, and floating damage are the only mods I use that change the gameplay at all.

at 39:55 in the "vegetable stand" backroom with the chemistry station there is a syringer rifle above the door on a shelf hidden

(25:50) Isn't there a guaranteed scoped rifle on the upper floor of this building? It's a bolt-action pipe rifle, but it's useful in the early game. (48:35) Hangman's Alley is easier to clear from the rooftops, but that means dealing with the supermutants up the road first, of course.

Great video!!

Fantastic! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤ Tho Dogmeat does not count as a companion for the Lone Wanderer perk which is a HUGE advantage for this type of build. Especially if carrying steel/caltrops long distance to share the load 😎

also head towards the scrap yard along the bank of sanctuary there's a 44on the way, Fatman and mini nuke in the scrap yard, a power armour suite on the way to satellite Olivia and everything inside Olivia

Love the guide! I’m doing the punk princess build by badcompanysarge but in survival. Do you have any tips for making caps with low intelligence and charisma?

@SuperTwonky

10 ай бұрын

Punk Princess is my favorite build by another creator. I believe I did modify it for survival to take Lone Wanderer though (IIRC Sarge had CHR at 1 for her). But for caps, I’d recommend picking up all the hubflower you can find, and buying whiskey when you find it at bars, so you can craft grape mentats to use for bartering. Also keep a set of charisma boosting clothing to change into. Pick up guns off of enemies that have solid value to weight ratios (like 10mm pistols are decent), and all the valuable junk you can find, like prewar money, cigarette packs/cartons, etc. Use that stuff for bartering with your grape mentats and charisma clothing.

are you in principle against water farming? Your CHR hardly matters when you are water farming because what you are selling, you got for free.

I always stash away my prewar money, so they don't get used to make for instance beds etc. They have no weight and are worth a lot and great for trading.

And the same with any bottles.

I know most people are already aware but, Dogmeat does not count as a companion for the sake of Lone Wanderer. So you can benefit from both unless you're imposing extra difficulty on yourself.

Are you going to do a play through with this build? Keep up the great content, loved the vats only run.

I’ll look forward to that! Where do you stream?

Bloatflies and radroaches and mole rats are easier to hit with your combat knife than with a pistol and you will save a lot of ammo too, even if you never use vats. Just get right up to them, slowly back away so they train directly in front of you and stab. You can get a combat knife very early at the grill near the next-to-the last house high on the hill overlooking Concord on the Sanctuary side of Concord. From the two bloodbugs near red rocket take a left and follow the street.

You can also get a combat knife by following the stream around Sanctuary to a boat that will have a fishing rod, some random loot, and a combat knife. Not that it's really that much closer than the one you mentioned.

Return of the Twonk!

First off great stuff you put there together this would definitely make Survival easier to approach if you have no prior experience. But it wouldn't work for my playthrough right now. I decided on a Sneaky-Detective type of build. So no Armor pieces(i wear pretty much Nicks outfit+Sunglasses), no Chems because it would not fit the character, only Pistols mostly because I did go with 1 Strength. Also only 1 Endurance so I get one hit by pretty much everything. It goes well so far ive gotten further than I ever have on Survival. Got a pretty nice Legendary 10mm drop with double damage on full health Enemys. Gonna keep you tips in mind for a non sneak character for sure.

@SuperTwonky

Жыл бұрын

I do think this would work for a sneak character, but clearly not one with all the restrictions you are using. You’d mainly just need to take points out of endurance and put them into agility. Instigating 10mm is a nice find! Probably among the best weapons in the game tbh.

In Diamond City In bar Scarlett sold me 5 Whisky, not sure If inventory is randomised but It's worth to check out. Grape Mentats and Dirty Wastelander are both awesome items to craft :)

The nice thing about pre-war money is you can use it as ammo for a junk jet or for trade and it has no weight in survival

@MichaelBricardo

Ай бұрын

Pre war money is by far the best way to make caps in the entire game. With max charisma you can sell each pre War money for 4 caps, considering how easy it is to find and it being absolutely everywhere, you can get really really rich off a couple hours of just wandering around picking up pre War money

I have played FO4 at least 100 plus times! Survival always scares me because of the no fast travel! But after watching your vid & some others I am going to start one! This is a really good guide! Liked & Subbed! I hope you make some more of these vids! Great job, keep up the good work! ;)

Thanks! I was scared of survival as well, and didn’t think I’d ever try it. Then I saw FrenchTomahawk stream it on Twitch, and I was like, “this actually looks kind of interesting”. It can be tough at first. I think it took me a few hours to finally make it through Corvega on my first survival run. Now I’m hooked and survival is all I play. Hope the guide helps! I do plan on making kind of a follow up (using the same character) about how to survive mini nukes at just level 25, but it’s going to take a lot of editing.

@@SuperTwonky , of course you can choose to lower Endurance or Strength to increase Intelligence, as long as you don’t waste points on the other useless stats until you leave the vault 😉 Still, crafting shelves and caltrops is always what makes you the most XP by far. Every new settlement gives you a lot of free XP and money. Just remember to avoid wasting perk points on Idiot Savant, wasting perks for XP is not worth it when you can get it for free by crafting.

One thing I would add is do not speak to the doctor in vault 81, instead wait until you’ve done Diamond City Blues and then collect the 60 jet. From there Re enter vault 81 and sell them to Bobby De Luca for 75 caps a piece. If you speak to the doctor the next time you enter the vault you will be stuck in a mission and can’t tell the jet to him. It’s a very easy cap farm. To each their own!

Lone Wanderer makes 0 difference in survival mode it is a waste of a perk, your carry weight is more than doubles at all times when having a companion. Nothing is more important that inventory size in survival mode. I'm level 396in survival mode with 3 total deaths since I left the vault. trust me.

Nice walkthrough, but might want to mention caltrops are only available if you have the far harbor dlc - a kind of important bit of info for anyone who might be following along who doesn't have the dlc installed.
