Personal tip , go in with no spoilers you wont regret it

[@stormcry8202]

You can buy Fusion cores in the ammo section of many traders, especially weapon dealers. They have up to 5 cores in their inventory. Which will refresh every 48 hours, give or take a cell reset.

[@agoogleuser1570]

Not me with 150 cores in my inventory 😅

[@aaronadams9625]

You don’t need to pick the locks for the safes in the home area. Just use the workshop to remove them and the items inside will automatically be added.

bro this is a wild tip!!

[@Trippie.j0rge]

That’s crazy wow

[@MrZOMBIEKID]

Don’t pick the SPECIAL book up or any of the bobble heads up if your wanting to exceed 10 on the SPECIAL stats. Wait till you get it naturally to lvl 10 first. Then pick up the bobble heads and book.

[@Yup932]

Actually never knew this

[@ShangZilla]

You cannot use the book to improve SPECIAL if that SPECIAL is already 10, you have to first use something like alcohol to lower your stats.

Correct !

No IGN, first thing you need to do is delete your recent RE5 video

[@thedonzhorzh]

To the new players: just play the game the way you want. Make the choices YOU think are right. Invest in perks you think are cool. It will be way more enjoyable because it is YOU who play, not somebody else. Besides, it's a single player game, you won't be missing out or "falling behind".

[@cjbos81]

Invest in perks for health, stimpacks, toughness, hacking, and lockpicking.

You missed a LOT at the Robotics Disposal Ground. First off, there is a mini-nuke at that location, not just the launcher. The other thing is that you can command the bot to self destruct, whereupon it will have TWO fusion cores in its inventory.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

Try doing all of that on survival mode. Ammunition has weight and being over encumbered causes periodic damage. Mini nukes weight 12 units in addition to the Fatman's 30+ and fusion cores weight 4. Also you can only save at beds and if you don't sleep in a clean bed, you run the risk of getting some kind of sickness so you need to have antibiotics on you at all times. Eating and drinking are a mechanic also. The game's just not that easy on survival.

[@anakyangbudiman8497]

Survival mode is the correct way to play Fallout 4

[@twatttheworldaccordingtoto4339]

#1 Find Cricket and get the Spray and Pray. Get some compatible perks and you can board the Prydwen and kick everybody's a**! (if you're so inclined.) That should put things into perspective, as far as the best weapon in the game goes.

[@luigiwoo4469]

Always d/load the Unlimited Weight mod from Bethesda. Even on PS4 it works great. 👍 Seriously changes the game mechanics. 😃👍

[@danny3120]

None of these guides have the most important starter tip. Which is to enter construction mode and scrap everything in Sanctuary and Red Rocket. Then use the materials to build all the utilities and as many preset houses as you can. This gets you 3 level ups right off the bat. Scrapping/building settlements is the easiest safest way to level early game and it doesn't cost anything.
