Can I Beat Fallout 4 Survival Difficulty With Only Grenades?! | Fallout 4 Survival Challenge!

[@ValzenX]

I would have never found you or Fallout challenge runs if it wasn't for Mitten Squad Rest in peace, Mitten Squad

[@WillowPlaysGames]

I just heard the news. It's incredibly sad. He was the first challenge runner I ever saw

[@lio5073]

@@WillowPlaysGames Carry the torch, dont let the fire go out

[@MansakeLabsOfficial]

This comment is how I found out. Truly heartbreaking, I was really rooting for him. At the very least, he's not suffering now.

[@MorbidOp]

RIP Mr. Squad.

[@quinnnr9945]

your joking right?

[@AVoiceForRadio]

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.

[@Ola-Conny]

I love it

[@Ancusohm]

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.

[@dksoulstice6040]

Can't forget the legendary Syringer alone run relying on the bleeder syringes.....good lord was that a torturous one to watch lol.

[@noocoshim]

What a caltrop

[@11epicnoob]

Caltrops can Insta-kill!?

[@Streetcleanergaming]

THERE GONNA HAVE TA GULE YOU BACK TOGETHER

[@Ancusohm]

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.

[@Triaxx2]

It's not so bad, you can get some institute gear a few ways without getting to them.

[@NuclearCharm]

Just going to Arcjet Systems with Danse can get you several Institute Pistols/Rifles

[@ArtemisiaGloriana]

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.

[@againstalltyrants9001]

Just have to make it to arcjet.

[@kandilo8572]

and then after that he could do a minutemen gear only run and then railroad,bos etc

[@cammosoldier]

I read the thumbnail and started laughing as I realised how fun it would be watching this suffering :D Thank you!

[@TheItachikiller]

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.

[@arellajardin8188]

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.

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

[@whatisdisgamea3324]

Early to a willow video is such a W. I love you willow, your videos make my day everytime I watch them.

[@WillowPlaysGames]

Stay beautiful! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@alexeybulatov3547]

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.

[@alexanderbrigg6659]

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.

[@mrkoga123]

Omg new WILLOW VIDEO!!! Welcome back willow glad you got that stuff sorted out ❤

Dude you’re back that’s awesome I missed your content

[@RandyWalker-ks7iv]

1hr gang❤

[@battdriver7553]

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

[@chad6125]

They're gonna have to glue Fallout 4 back together...IN HELL

[@thesturmvogel6359]

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

[@MrWizeazz]

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.

[@guidojacobs2002]

Can you beat Fallout 4 while abusing the console to go absolutely goblin mode? I mean, Vault-Tec Rep in a dress, raider faction an enemy to itself, making Danse get out of his power armor, things like that. Just how stupid can you casually make things?

[@_TobiasR_]

Run request: beating fallout 4 survival difficulty using the MAIM mod. Use whatever guns n stuff you want cos you’ll need them XD

[@dksoulstice6040]

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.

[@mr.aesthetic]

I encountered the exact same bug just a few hours ago. 21:27

[@IndustrialFaith]

Walkmans were super awesome! You missed out by missing the era of cassette tapes. Truly a civilized time. o7

[@WillowPlaysGames]

I used cassette tapes in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a while, they are fun to use I'll give you that.

[@PcAPTen_sTUPPeD]

Very late, but NPCs don't react to baseball grenades, so they won't try to avoid them

[@TotallyNotBanned]

I somehow never knew about the fatman room in ArcJet. This kind of stuff is why I enjoy Bethesda games so much.

[@Stopmotionman-smm]

This is great must have been tuff though.

[@Wallrunninglooter]

Did you use AI to wright some of the script? This is not a hate comment I do appreciate the work that goes into your runs it's just a question about making videos. There are times where it comes off odd to me like "it's going to be hard. But I hope I'm able too. And I go at the museum of freedom so many times gives me that AI feeling. Or are you using an AI voice on a real script. I really can't tell

[@WillowPlaysGames]

Real script, real voice.

[@Corundrom]

Kinda wish this was a minutemen playthrough, so you could use the artillery grenade

[@undeadmaster666]

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

[@alphawolf8437]

Can you beat fallout 4 with only beartraps?

[@verriganholmes8054]

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.

[@LunaLunara2904]

was about to look up a video of yours

good timing!

Hey there I’m the guy that sent fan art and gave you this idea maybe you didn’t get it from me but if you did thank you

he collabed with me, I used his guides to start and have made some changes but he was my favorite runner before and I like the format he uses so I use it to! but thank you! I think his videos are way way better than mine and it's quite kind to be compared to him lol

[@MarkofWisdom]

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

great vid keep it up willow 🙂

[@pathogenofdecay]

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.

[@WillowPlaysGames]

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.

[@pathogenofdecay]

@@WillowPlaysGames Okay. Thanks.

[@LethalDeal]

Theres also the nuka grenades from nuka world devastating amounts of damage at the cost of you easily being in its range

[@WillowPlaysGames]

I was aware but also didn't want to go through the gauntlet as it would of been hellish with this run.

[@hairylimey7709]

You may not be old enough to have had a Walkman but i am.........Bugger.

[@WillowPlaysGames]

it's okay, I missed out on a cultural revolution, you missed out on growing up with a cell phone.

[@HypercomboProduction]

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.

[@dire-fox_825]

"we are panzergrenadiers, not panzers!"

[@Agent4077]

a challenge idea where all damage is done by NPCs meaning companions, hacked turrets, and instigated enemies

[@JSavage420]

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

[@WillowPlaysGames]

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.

[@Agent4077]

I'm surprised you didn't use bottlecap mines, they do 301 damage before perks

[@toakongu1]

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

[@Elyseon]

Typical Bethesda, pretending to give us options.

[@doktorsljukex4174]

Med x can negate poison damage from poison attacks. You probably didnt have any, but i see to many people die from poison even tho they have med x

[@Kebelix47]

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

I had to use mods to add more grenades and explosive crossbows. Fun stuff. It’s really lacking compared to New Vegas.

Bro there is a chance at Children of Atom camps that you can find nuke mines and grenades. Very rare and very powerful.

[@awesometubing9471]

You can stay in the thing for the brother hood guy where he literally kills synths I just left my game on turned the TV off and then viola you have more nuclear items than you know what to do with and then walk all the way back to sanctuary to make plasma grenades

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.

[@daftzeta3671]

@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!
