Did anybody else go back to Fallout 4 or another Fallout game after watching the show?

[@ChiefVizier]

hell yeah brother

[@Lowimpala713]

Yea I played new Vegas now I'm playing fallout 4 for the first time

[@RenVolkert]

did you not update your game? my mods broke since the new update

[@PhillipLemmon]

Yup! I did! Love this game even more now!

[@brentsteven4944]

just finished a new vegas play through and about to start another fallout 4 one

[@ErosXCaos]

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, and hunger half a level. 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. Take out the water from the Workshop *every day* , and 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 the first 10-12 levels to be the hardest, and 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. Having 1 INT will give you plenty of time to find what you need to survive. *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.

Also don’t forget pick the sarcastic option with Carla when first meeting her for a permanent item discount from her

[@CraigAblett]

Spot on excellent advice dude👍

[@JustGeldric]

Survival mode: you can take Dogmeat AND have the Lone Wanderer perk (Codsworth does not work) If you wear JUST your vault suit, you can re-enter Vault 111 w/Dogmeat & grab the Cryolator

[@CaitiffFTW]

If, for any reason, you fail at picking the safe locks in Sanctuary, you can also go into Settlement mode, and scrap the safes. Doing this will send the contents of the safes to your workbench. This works for every container in a settlement. Also, if you have a powered water pump, the purified water pumped out will be sent to your workbench, which can then be sold or used as needed. But, my favorite is that, once you hit Level 6, there is a sewer access point next to the blue Preservation Shelter in Concord. Change the difficulty to Very Hard and make a Quicksave BEFORE you enter it for the first time. When you enter, the game will autosave. At the bottom of the stairs, their will be three radroaches. At Very Hard, there is a solid chance that one of them will be Legendary. Even on Very Hard, all three can be downed with a single Molotov Cocktail. If you don't get a Legendary item that you ljke, or none of the roaches are Legendary, reload the Quicksave. If you like the item that is Legendary, but dont like the effect, (A 10mm pistol with the Troubleshooter effect, for instance) reload the Autosave. It is save scumming, but this is a certain drop of a single starting Legendary item that will help you. (A Wounding Double Barrel Shotgun is god-killer tier, since it applies the bleed effect with each pellet.) This works because enemies and loot are rolled as you enter the zone. But, Legendary effects are rolled as you kill the enemy that's holding it.

There is a speak easy in Concord, it has two day trippers, and two x-cell's. With those two and grape mentats you can boost your charisma by 10.

[@mikeemmons1079]

Grape Mentats are stupid easy to make as well. I have a couple boxes at all times. Between those and the Spray n Pray SMG, playing as the Silver Shroud becomes a lot easier.

@@mikeemmons1079 Mentats are the hardest thing for me to find - got any good locations / vendors I can check?

[@hackjuniordf]

Man, that's why i love the Bethesda games (especially Fallout 4, Oblivion and Skyrim), i sat here just waiting for my girlfriend to call me so we can go out for lunch and i clicked on your video to see the hints you would give people and at the beginning of the video i saw two things that i had no idea existed in Sanctuary: that duflebag on the roof and that hiden basement. I honestly had never seen it and i've been playing this game since 2015! lol Another cool weapon i just discovered this week playing was the Gainer revolver (the game listed it as a pistol), a very powerful .44 that leaves targets on fire, great for the beginning of the game! The weapon is located on the other side of the bank near the Finch farm, inside an access doorthat is visible across the river (the door code is written on the wall, just add 10 in place of the zero in the code for it to open).

[@Astrosive]

Haha I probably had a couple hundred hours in this game before I knew about the cellar too

[@dsm9263]

I knew about the basement in my first playthrough because i fast travel to the sanctuary and waited for preston so i just take a look around sanctuary lmao

[@dubiousbrick4483]

you can turn the camera while talking to the overseer in vault 81, open the pipboy and drop the fusion cores on the ground before answering her that you have them to hand over, it will complete the quest and you can pick the cores up off the ground

[@Funky_Ghost]

2 things, the hut with easy loot near your water stash. Also near there is a random event which can give decent loot depending on what spawns. There are several Raiders under the tower by it. In the blue lean-to there is a med case.

THANK YOU!!! This is how a tutorial should be done, direct, informative and easy to follow along. Definitely subscribing !!!

[@falloutmania8633]

Step 1 : scrap sanctuary Step 2 : make water purifier Step 3 : collect purified water and just go buy all this

[@Makoto03]

Thank you so much. Worked fantastic in getting this powerful weapon early.

[@jerethkhan]

In your video, Cricket was outside the vault as well. If you got back outside before the Mentats wore off, you probably had enough to also get the Spray n' Pray. It also uses .45 ammo and is a great secondary weapon for surprise Rad Scorpion or Robot attacks.

[@mikeemmons1079]

It is a great primary weapon as well. Just use those grape mentats to convince Sinjin that he wants you dead first. You will NOT be able to snipe him without killing Kent... and the majority of the scenery.

[@bradcarter7315]

where in the fuck are you getting all this money i have 350 caps after selling all that shit with high charisma

[@TheRealBlah614]

​@bradcarter7315 you can also use one of you skill points to level up your Charisma Bartering stat. Lowers the cost like 10-20% I think.

[@fg6971]

@@bradcarter7315 With a 10-12 charisma selling the 2 wedding rings, the Fatman and nuke, and the 3 gold bars, will have you at about 2,000 caps. Buy Spray and Pray then farm loot from respawning enemies and a Fatman to steal at Goodneigbor while water farm at Sanctuary deposits purified water into the workbench. Rinse and repeat.

[@KillerXade]

A few play throughs back I found out about that chest 12:23. It's not the mole rats its 2 bloat flies nearby, near the trees towards the back of Abernathy farm. If you don't kill them, the chest constantly respawns, along with the wild mutefruit plants. Kill them and the free ride is over.

I know every location from this film except this sunken boat an this switch on pipes near lake, nice job.

Also in the place at Walden pond is an issue of 'Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor' which improves your barter prices by about 2% per issue.

05:46 Didn't pick up the leather left leg and leather right leg armor laying on the ground next to the suitcase! 10:00 Didn't visit the duffel bag underneath the statue just at the bridge back to Sanctuary! 11:11 Didn't pick up the Charisma buffing glasses next to the skeleton on the way out of the Mole Rat Den! 11:38 Didn't open the wall safe right next to where you picked up the bobby pin! 12:30 If you follow the river to the left you find an APC with an army helmet. If you have Dogmeat with you, tell him to go pick it up, as it's on top of some radiation barrels. 12:48 Didn't go into Concord for the Speakeasy which has 2x X-cell and 2x daytripper (and a steamer trunk behind an Advanced lockpick door) as well as a decent amount of adhesive in the basement, or the Workhouse which has a duffel bag and an advanced safe. 13:44 Didn't visit Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup for the key which opens every Wicked Shipping Truck on the map, all of which have steamer trunks! Also in that location is a duffel bag on a roof that has a decent amount of pre-war money. 14:40 Also inside the Walden Pond sewer pipe is a Barter magazine for better prices with traders! 15:00 Didn't go to Sunshine Tidings to pick up the magazine which gives you extra meat from animal kills (more important in Survival mode but you were right there!) 16:20 Didn't dip into Lexington for the Barter mag inside the Super Duper mart, the 100+ pre-war money in the Bank right over the street or the Barter magazine in the Mystic Pines retirement home! 16:35 Didn't use the other bridge, which has a safe underneath it (and a dead raider) Other than that, a nice little guide! 😎😎

Hubflower: if you go down from Vault 111 where you run to it before the bomb fell, along that path there are hubflowers before the bridge right beside the path, easy to see. 9:40 he went staright to the Red Rocket Gas Station. Instead keep going beside the lake till you reach the main bridge leading to Sanctuary. There is a statue, with a bag full of weapons and goodies at it's feet to loot. THEN you can go to the Red Rocket Gas Station. +15 seconds. :) I recommend bringing Dogmeat: 1. he can carry a lot for you 2. In random encounter he helps, you can even run away easier, he is immortal. 11:32 That bobby pin is guaranteed, and there is also a bobby pin box there! With 5 bobby pins in the same cabinet/drawer, if you look carefully. If somehow you start game and find no bobby pin this is where you can get 6 of them guaranteed. (usually there is one in Vault 111 where the first gun is and the overseer terminal, same room, in one of the drawers.) Careful coming here, his path is safe, if you approach Concord from the Red Rocket Gas Station mosquitos from hell wait you, true abominations, easy to die to them. BZZZZ

[@geeke3]

If you keep walking the the direction of that weapon bag you can find 3 raiders who will all have early armour, weapons and a few stimpacks and a psycho 👍

[@Jack-kx5rf]

Just a little note the path he takes to Vault 81 does have 2 random encounters, although it feels like most of the time it doesn’t spawn. Ironically the bill is on when he says he’s never ran into enemies outside of the Whiskey shack is a random encounter spot. You can get Charlie, Scavengers, chem dealers, bloodbugs, settlers, legendary Yagui or just drag mines. There might be more but I play permadeath survival and doing this run over 100 times that’s all I’ve seen. The shack where you get the Daytripper is also a random encounter location. You can find Raiders or Super Mutants patrolling the street but they do seem like a rare encounter.

[@nardopolo7407]

yes you cans end him around to kill some of the raiders and everything in his path towards the destination. in addition the cloth can be handy for building beds if your planning to run a settlement thing where you can hit 285 in about 70 hours or so if you do the settlement right (warning you might lag abunch doing it )

[@MrCoolMiner]

One thing you could do is if you have Far Harbor and like an extra 20ish minutes extra, take the time to scrap everything in Sanctuary then craft a bunch of poison caltrops at a chem station and use those to get the weapon as they have 40 value each and are super cheap to craft (5 steel each) I was able to make 170 or so with 200 steel left over after scrapping pretty much everything there

[@MolnarG007]

it's a double edged tactitcs: i also like to get few levels just by crafting things, neating Santuary, BUT enemies level up with you. So be mindful if someone don't understand the perks well yet if you choose many and level up then all enemy will be way dangerous while sometimes more complex situations accours, weapon mods needed, etc. For a veteran player it's a walk in the park. For a beginner super confusing not seeing lvl1-5 noob enemies. Early for me only lockpicking is important, a few perks here-there, nothing critical.

Thanks :)

[@Graciousweasel]

ADDITIONAL TIP! Make sure it's DAYTIME! Or else the trader won't be available when you get there. I followed this tutorial and finally got to the vault and the lady who sells things, checked to see her prices for later comparison and only then did i use all the Cha boosting items. Before i get to interact with her again she started walking away, i somehow got encumbered (idk if the Cha buff applied debuff to Str) but i had to struggle and drop the heavy stuff and ran after her. When i got to her she said to come by in the morning. There were beds outside the vault but by morning time the buffs would have worn off. Thankfully i have all the things to make another grape mentat (i am lvl14) but it's just so stressful, man. I'm down to my last day tripper and whiskey and idk where to get more.

[@XEV_]

What mods do u you use?

[@Ralinrox]

In the cave next to red rocket there is a guaranteed pair of fashionable glasses +1 charisma. It’s very likely to get a militia or news boy cap from the dead minuteman outside the museum of freedom. Plus your charisma clothes from sanctuary you have a full charisma outfit +4 in total.

Alternative for using the Sentry: Easy early access to locations, powerful weapons: NE from Sanctuary at the Robotics Disposal eject sentry bot software, run with your pipboy, activate sentry then set defensive protocol to South Boston Checkpoint and follow. He goes to Tenpines Bluff, Cambridge (at Red Rocket Gas Station quickly grab sniper rifle from the roof), goes to Covenant, smacks through Boston... for me it disappeared near Diamond City at the bridge just after the Polymer Labs (easy mission inside lszer giving superb Power Armour chest piece). You can just walk in from that bridge to DC. Covenant has easy mission later too to missing caravan near with combat rifle. If you ever make it SE from Diamond City at the S B Military Checkpoint there's a sniper gun on the roof and a power armour (hack rank2 needed). If the Sentry is there self destuct, plan B Kill it just before he disappears at the bridge with boat leading to Diamond City (had 30% hp but don't need to combat kill it, just self destruct him)

[@Comicsluvr]

A few additions that may or may not help: On your way out of Sanctuary, next to the statue is a duffel bag with some weapons and loot. Also, if you scrap and build a few things in Sanctuary and hit level 2, take Idiot Savant (if possible). While you're doing everything else listed here, you have a chance of XP buffs for free. I never knew about the level of the power armor spawning. I thought it was all T-45. If I can wait and get an X-01 suit, instead of having to crawl through Nuka World, I'll take it! I also knew about the trunk, but I never knew it respawned. I used to kill the bloat flies so I always missed it.

[@HermitLadrienn]

at 11:35 where you picked the bobby pin from the dresser, theres a box standing in that dresser that you overlooked. (And an advanced safe on the right side of the dresser)

[@MolnarG007]

yes, a bobby pin box with 5 pins. This is the best early game spot where you can get guaranteed 6 bobby pins.

[@fg6971]

All good tips here. I will add some of mine. First perk Agua boy, leave vault with at least 6 charisma, first two destinations after Sanctuary area and getting Dogmeat: Diamond City and Goodneighbor. Diamond city to buy Spray and Pray, Goodneighbor to start the farming of loot from respawning enemies and a Fatman and nuke that respawns next Kleo and are easy to steal.

[@tonyb2109]

Should we be putting our stat points exactly like you did in the very beginning??

[@thompsonhunter51]

The first sliding door when I enter vault 81 says inaccessible. Any tips on fixing that?

[@user-io3el6tt5t]

How did you get that red vault jumpsuit in the begging of the game?

[@ImmortalAbsol]

What's the X-01 paint in the thumbnail?

[@Little_Bitz]

Now you have me thinking about that t45 armor suit. I don’t wanna make it spawn before I reach lvl 28 so now I have to actually use a map from someplace alongside my next play through so that I don’t make it accidentally spawn. I haven’t played this in so many years I don’t recall where anything is at. I think! It may all come back to me as I play but…. Anyway ty for this and the rest of you guys with the extra info in the comments. Definitely gonna help me power through my next play through.

[@Remix2122]

You need to Play the new mission speak of the devil you get the new X02 powerarmor its better then the X01 armor I got mine on lvl 19 its a X02 mark III

[@HaulacuasrDr]

You missed the purified water at the base of the water tower aswell! There's like 5 there hahaha

[@Miksalot]

I was just gonna say the same thing. I was watching it like "GO BACK!" :)

[@Funky_Ghost]

Also if you go directly from the door towards Conchord, you run into a green loot chest.

[@Dsh9x]

I realised that it u go to red rocket there’s a magazine area where u can take lots of magazines and sell them for caps there’s even keys to do it

[@eringarica7909]

Green eggs and ham!!!!! Love your videos keep up the good work bro

[@brontschumperlin9178]

I just started running this 30 minutes ago! Great video, thank you! Oh, the recipe wanted me to use Whiskey specifically, but fast travel and I had to pee anyways!

[@I_make_random_stuff_for_fun]

Hey real quick there’s a legendary weapon in vault 111 where if you ask dogmeat to find the nearest item he will actually get it out of its box so you can also get that at level 1

[@deedadee4882]

Truly appreciate all the help. Never touched fallout, any, purchased fallout 4 and it’s loaded and ready to play but not touched. TIL shortly that is. I’ve been seeing a ton of fallout play/tv show and after so much got my curiosity. Wouldn’t be here, I’d be playing now, but the content needs uploaded. Haha. Only thing dislike about having disc, it still needs updated to work. Anyways,…. Appreciate you and wish you/all well. Let’s go!!!

[@kevinmiller7408]

One comment on containers in general (duffle bags, tool boxes, trunks, safes, etc.) they all have random loot based on loot tables for the container. So a chem cooler will have random chems, ammo boxes have random ammo, a safe might have chems, various ammo, booze, weapons, or it might have armor or grenades, etc. At low level you'll find crappy pipe weapons but the same container would cough up plasma weapons if you're high enough level for them to start spawning. Edit: After thinking some, there's some specific containers in various places that have specific loot in them, but the vast majority are random.

[@paulshaw3907]

You forgot the syringer hidden in the farmers shack

[@Fl0w3rsb0i]

4:36 bro you aint slick i saw that cut

[@tommytwotacos8106]

You can always just grab the alien blaster with all of its ammo, for free, right next to the vault. Then you can keep your fusion cores.

[@bingisbahn3374]

If you’re going to vault 81 pick up any jet and tools you find they buy them in there for a lot more then they sell on the outside

[@C-ON-]

What is that pipboy mod? Or skin? It's so cool

[@elmskie73]

Not sure If anyone else has mentioned it but with dogmeats help you can get the overseers cryo weapon for free, shut him in the cage with you and get him to search for an item and he will grab the weapon out the box without lock picking it ect.

[@mooseman3600]

Just picked up enclave armour at level 15. Not easy but doable after many attempts 😵‍💫

[@Destroier-wr4hk]

You missed a Bobby pin box and a safe hidden in the first house in concord, upstairs the Bobby pin box is in the run down dresser where you picked up the first Bobby pin and the safe is right the dresser between it and the wall on its right side, timestamp is 11:35

[@MolnarG007]

yes, there are 6 bobby pins there (1+5 in box), this is the only early guaranteed spot to get bobby pins.

[@ZackaryBabo]

9:49 scared the shit outta me

[@SamuelPerezCentral]

Nice video! Had no problem following all up until entering Vault 81, I got lost. So you can avoid giving up the fusion cores by something you said about a speech? Can someone detail the steps please?

[@geeke3]

There’s a red speech check you can pass to not pay the fusion cores or you can drop the cores once you get into the vault but before the overseer talks to you. Also if you have 11 charisma you have a 100% chance to pass a red skill check

[@MolnarG007]

@@geeke3 so option a. you fail speech check you pay with the 3 cores. option b. you succeed then keep or sale those 3 FC.

[@uniqueADAMHD]

I saw in another video if you get power armor now then it respawns later at the higher level. Has that changed?

[@mrjoshua6979]

Naa the power armor triggers the same as random events. Wherever you get near a spot that has a suit it spawns in a random suit according to your level. I forget what levels get which but like if you never went to the one underwater by covenant it wouldn’t spawn in t60 it would be x01 if you went later. But if you ran by it early game/low lvl it will always be a t45 when you go get it. The randomness is how many pieces there are on it

[@trus3683]

5:48 Remember that there is also gear on the ground next to the suitcase as well.

[@Semiba]

Concise and well done. The only thing I'd add would be a tiny detour right before you hit the red rocket to grab the grenades in the mailbox just outside Sanctuary.
