Here's a guide on how to get all your SPECIAL stats to 20+ at the start of the game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHqxlKijm8pkjpo I explained this badly in the video, so here's the SPECIAL book Guide: You can indeed raise your attributes over 10 with the SPECIAL book, but you must first reduce your attribute to make it available as an option. For example if you wanted 11 intelligence: you would first get a 10 in intelligence, then you would drink whiskey to temporarily reduce your intelligence by -1, you would then use the SPECIAL book so you can raise your intelligence by +1. Once the whiskey effects wear off you will now have 11 intelligence. If you now get the intelligence bobblehead you can reach 12 intelligence. Some stats can be pushed even higher but I could do a whole separate video about that.

[@brandonstephenson859]

But the xp gain is the same weather you have 10 intel or 25

[@mskogly]

propably best to do it with some other stat instead. If possible.

[@davejay6855]

Attributes go to 11? Why not make 10 one better?

[@ReedeMcCain]

Xp goes up with intelligence. Xp reward for codsworth speech check for intelligence 1/10/25 is 15/20/26.

[@Rabijeel]

Some things missing: - Start with Charisma 6. You find a Suit and a Headgear (Hat+Glasses) that add an onverall +4 to it so you can pass all Speechchecks early (! important to get Wolfgang to stand down and let it go - else, he is a very tough to beat Opponent on early Survival and even in Powerarmor !). If on Survival (what you should not normally when getting Info out of Vids like this) Strengh is also a pretty important Stat tu have from the Beginning - at least enough to get the Strong Back Perk (STR:6). Also, mind that "Steady Aim" (STR:7) adds to your Chance to Hit in VATS mode when shooting from the Hip aka use Pistols and Guns without having Scopes mounted (which also reduces the AP-Usage significantly). I normally start with a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. 7/4/1/6/4/3/3 to get Lockpick and HAcking, the Overall Damage+ from Luck and a VATS Pistolsniper Build, boosting the required Stats asap - but you also can entirely drop Perception to get Int 6 to do "Science" and instantly go for Energyweapons (can all converted between Rifle and Pistol as you like). - Do NEVER make Purified Water from Dirtyx Water. *NEVER.* Dirty Water is a main ingredient for many good basic Recipes, and you only get it by filling empty Bottles in "unclean" Watersources as Puddles, Lakes and Rivers. You can get an endless Supply of Purified Water very Easy - via Settlement mode and building. Just build Waterpumps - even the manually used ones will generate it over Time (every few Days, using them ingame does not speed it up). Also, you can build a Wallmounted Water Fountain to drink from that is concidred a "clean" Watersource for you on use (does not count to Water Supply towards Settlers). If you scrap the whole Sanctuary, you will find enough to make a few Waterpumps to create at least 20-50 Water every few Days and you also can do it (if keeping them unconnected) the same for the RR Station. So recycle the shit out of thoose two at least to get a Base - as the loot he shows is pretty incompatible with your Carry weight in Survival - and you want a place to cook,. sleep and eat safeley anyway. - Some Spots - differs every Game which - are "respawning", others not. I had good luck every Time with the first House into Concord - where you find Bobby Pins and a Safe as well as a Medkit to loot. Memorize thoose to revisit them. - Build a Settlement in Sanctuary. It takes a lot of Time, I know. But, that makes Carla visit Sanctuary after you met her, a wandering Merchant who is one f the early two Merchants you get acess to easy. The second is Trudy in the Diner a bit south to Concord on the way to the Starlight Movie Theatre. Just clean up the mess with Wolfgang, a Chems Dealer, peacefully. - The Starlight Theatre is the best Settlement to travel around from in the early to mid-Game, as there are 4 concurrent Spawnpoints around it you can farm repeatedly and it offers a lot of free Space - just scrap the Radioactive Barrels to make the "irradiated Zone" around the Pond to disappear. Also, it is pretty close to all the Mission Points erly on, from the Brotherhood to the Railroad. - Also, make haste to get a Contamination Arc build - it sets the Rads to 0 when walkingt through it when Active. This Game - even the whole Minutemen Arc - is about how important CVivilisation is, cooperating with others and working together. Sending out Scavengers for example will make the surrounding have less encounters, but add to the risk of Raider attacks (at least in my expe3rience). Mitigate that by a decent Defenbse Value. There is no need to Tower Defense the shit out of the Game, as that does usually not work - but having a Wall between the Settlement and the Raiders spawns is pretty good imho. Does not prevent or autosolve Attacks (you gotta take care or it is a loss), but it helps to take care of them a lot. I prefer to put my Guns in a central Spot where they can shoot at the Entrance from inside - to chokepoint the Raiders into it. Fuck the Settlers and Guards that run and seek to die, it is up to them to do so and you can not prevent it. Second best optiopn is to secure the Spawns with turrets - but that often resulted in a damaged Turretarray for me while "Tanking Settlers and DDing Turrets" was the cheapest, most viable Way. Finally, build Merchants. That is your Goal - Arms and Ammunitions Dealers in your Bases. They may Share one Inventory, but provide a good Supply of Ammo for "free" aka your produced purified Water.

Walton Goggins is the best character in my opinion. "Thou shall get side-tracked by bullshit every god damn time" That was such a relatable line for anyone who has played the games.

[@imwhite75]

He's such a good actor. Almost head and shoulders above almost everybody in the show.

[@mmxcix]

Did you stopped from building settlements then? Because most of my game hours are from settlement building. 😂

[@JonMcMenamin777]

Maxed out

[@AdamMarcinkowski-yn6tb]

Yup , when you scrap everything in Sanctuary & Red Rocket , and power level with 3 intelligence that is required for gun nut , you will leave Sanctuary on 18th level ... but bullet proof build is S1 , P6 , E5 , C3 , I3 , A9 , L5 = 21p from start + special book + 5 points from leveling = 11p left for Idiot savant , gunslinger , Sandman , Aqua boy , gun nut ... skip sanctuary , just rush to dance , assist him in killing ghouls , then grab military fatigues , run to river , and swim north and enter old north church , meet freaks from railroad , option swim to spectacle island for luck booblehead (you are fast enough to out run enything there and you can take island no issue) , then swim back to same way , and run to meet Decon , do mission and you have Deliverer invest in stealth build and you are set for all game , you can basically skip gun nut to level 50 because on survival to that level Deliverer cause no issues so there is no need to upgrate , I play loot of survival and starting with low intelligence is great because you lavel quicker when you kill stuff , and so what you have 10 intelligence when you die often , and intelligence is important when you need to go to glowing sea = chems + nerd rage .

I think he's been set for an incredible season two arch though, I agree his character is a shit head though.

[@klaushipp1207]

Cooper made me touch the game again after a couple years for a Gunslinger Build.. doesn't work too well with vanilla though, at least not at level 12.

[@Sioux-periorGaming]

Keep all pre-war money, cigar boxes and cigarette boxes on you for bartering. They can be easily found off of Ghouls or in most places that have cigarette dispensers. Most raider settlements will have a lot laying around. They are a good alternative for those who are lacking the caps. Pre-war money doesn't have any weight so you can carry as much of it on you as you want. All of them are under the Junk tab so make sure you collect them from your settlements in case you stored them accidentally.

[@losbebeast8449]

I never knew that, thank you

[@dkemp1337]

i have been doing that since 3 i actually like to keep them at my house in display it used to be rivet city was my spot lol i love to drop/stack items

[@bombomos]

This I've been doing since fallout 3 launch. Cuz in a wasteland, the next most valuable resource next to water and food and ammo is cigarettes

[@Niobesnuppa]

Also military files. They only sell for 1 cap, so not very valuable, but they also weigh nothing, so you can hoard as much of it as you want.

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.

Easy caps for new players trick!!! Soon as possible. In your settlement, build water purifiers. A lot of water purifiers. The water purifiers will need a power source so you also need to build a generator first then connect the generator to the water purifiers. Water purifiers give purified water. You can sell for a whopping 20+ caps per bottle. You can get the purified water from the workshop. Soon as there is purified water in the workshop, remove it and transfer to another container. Now. Important. HOW TO MAKE THE WATER RESPAWN??? Many people have the misconception that water respawns every in-game day, or every half hour. They are all wrong. Water respawns every time you get into combat or activate a random enemy encounter. The moment you leave your village and get ambushed by raiders or get into combat in a random scenario is the moment your workshop fills with water. I know of this because I always become a water conglomerate in my gameplays, getting an easy 450-700+ purified water, each bottle selling for 27 caps (charisma level raised). So that's basically 450*27= whatever amount of caps you get. Trade with diamond city and purchase material shipments to build even more water purifiers. When you're out of space to build water purifiers in sanctuary, follow the Minutemen quest line and conquer "The Castle" or the fort, I forgot the other names it had. This has way more water space than sanctuary and can get you an insane amount of additional water. Also when trading water. No need to bring all 450 water bottles with you. Only bring enough water bottles to enough vendors you can trade with. Vendors have a limited amount of caps. So if you sell 450 bottles to a vendor who only has 1200 caps, you only get 1200 caps, instead of the full cap potential of 450 bottles of water. Happy trading!!

they had a warning in game before the update that they would be doing maintenance on CC and the in game mod menu.. so might be that. i didn't update, don't see the point, really it just adds ultra wide screen support on pc, and like 2 new CC, which may or may not download.

For survival, remember to grab all the cola/beer/milk bottles in Sanctuary, you can haul back to vault 111 and fill them all in the sink. That's a pretty easy and reliable way to get purified water, both for consumption and selling to vendors. And if you get advanced lockpicking in the earliest levels, you get access to a bunch of the safes in both Sanctuary and Concord, as well as a locked room in the Speakeasy with a steamer trunk, ammo and potentially a shotgun.

IIRC, the book can increase the stat if you reduce it first with something other than addiction. I increase my INT into 12 with it. Put 10 int at start, get any alcohol to reduce int and take the book immediately, the book get to 11 int, then get the booblehead to 12 int. Addiction reduction effect wont help with this.

Sorry to sound impatient btw, I just want to know what this update is bringing to the table for us vanilla players.

[@callahan123]

Depends on what System you play. The Next Gen Update is in my opinion a Next Gen thing for consoles, not for PC. On consoles you can play in 4k or 60 fps on lower resolutions with it. On PC it´s only an unstable widescreen fix. Yes, there is a bit of "new" content, but to be honest - if you have the pre Update build and play on PC, change the update method on Steam/GOG... to only update by starting the game, install the Fallout 4 Script Extender, and start the game via the Script Extender launcher. That only works if you haven´t updated the game already. Why? The update is unstable for now and even if you want to play a vanilla walkthrough, I would install some bug-fixing-mods. This update won´t fix most of them. I reinstalled F4 and the ESO modpack 2 weeks ago. This modpack wouldn´t work anymore, if I updated the game. But with this pre-update F4 build, I have much more content, than the update could ever provide.

[@wod5203]

Using Fusion Cores: In the world you'll find a lot of different Power Armor suits, different models, different years, different paints. Some of these suits will have a Fusion Core already in them, some won't. When I'm running around and I find a suit, I'll stop what I'm doing and I'll take the suit back to my settlement for 'safe-keeping'. I'll check the status of the Fusion Core if there is one, because sometimes they aren't at 100% full, if it's at 100% I remove it, then I place a partially used Core in the suit before entering the suit. I fast travel home so I'm not depleting too much off the Cores energy level. Once back at home I remove the FC after I park the Armor, then I fast travel back to the closest location to where I was when I found the suit, and return to the mission at hand. A spent Fusion Core is useless, and once it hits zero it's gone, but, a partially charged FC sells for the same price to vendors as a new 100% one, and counts as a 'turn-in' for a quest you'll find (I won't spoil it don't worry). When I do find that quest, I'll transfer all; of my 100% charged FC's to my Companion and keep the lowest charged (under 10%) FC's on me and those get me progression for the quest. As for the Olivia Station, you can also get two Army Helmets, and a U.S. Covert Ops magazine which assists your stealth. The magazine is right by the Mini-Nuke in the Intel Room, and by the safe in the darkened corner there is a duffle bag with goodies too, propped against the locker... sneaky.

S-7 P-4 E-1 C-6 I-8 A-1 L-1, Baby Book +1 to Agility. L&E stats can be supplemented with better gear, guns, & lots of chems. Perception can be boosted with certain hats, & glasses. Absalom, Atom Cats, & Bullet are good for basic gear. Quests get buggy, if you take Sanctuary before Preston. Taffington Boathouse is my first base suggestion.

[@markrobinson224]

Why does everyone leave the switchblade in the terminal in the pod? Seriously, it may be a really weak weapon, but scrapping it gives you decent scrap, and it's a sellable item early game.

[@germans_lol7259]

This feels like the best way to get to speedrun the game but honestly, i feel like the best way for a casual play is to make ur stats pretty even but also try getting strength and luck up. The game is so fun and so big, you will level up fast in no time while also taking the route of just playin. I recommend doing main quest storyline all the way till you defeat Kellog b4 venturing off bc you will have his pistol which is an underrated weapon itself. Also you should treat your first power armor as a beauty. Mainly bc once you can get another power armor that is better, you can always save that extra one for a companion or for a settlement while also having it upgraded. Idk thats my opinion. I recently got the game and am having fun

[@kronima6239]

You can still get the full T-45 set in concord without starting the main quest or the minutemen questline. If you get on top of the churches roof you can jump across the crashed vertibird and go straight to the power armor and minigun sitting there. If you don’t have a fusion core you can still go in the building and grab the one from the basement like normal, and jump back up through the hole in the floor by standing on top of the file cabinet right below the hole. Either way you can get the set without ever having to deal with Garvey 😎

If you side with the BoS, there's a mission involving a scribe relatively soon after joining, and you can just snipe her from the Prydwen (she's on the ground within that compound, and you need to be sneaking or the other BoS will become hostile). Killing the scribe will fail the objective but complete the quest, and you can just go grab the quest again from Proctor Quinlan. Rinse and repeat as many times as you want, just make sure she dies in 1 shot.

[@nycSnowman]

You can wear clothes and use consumables to raise charisma for speech checks, so you don’t need to dump points into it. Speech checks are based on prohibits so save and reload to redo and clear a speech check. Never start a character with 10 points in any specific skill as each skill has a bobble head that will permanently increase the skill by 1. There is also a book at the start of the game that increases any skill by 1.

[@kaerithiakeshan]

Funny thing with the SPECIAL book in sanctuary. If you put your INT on 10 and get first into the root cellar and grab a alcoholic drink, you lower your INT by 1. You can now get the SPECIAL book and increase your INT by 1 which makes it into 11 after the alcohol wears off. Makes it another 3% more xp. Pretty handy.

[@corytucker6788]

Isn't idiot savant proven to be the best way to gain experience?

[@nightninjja5606]

Not if you upgrade it all the way

[@Fikoj]

It is highly dependent on your luck (not in game luck) and intelligence level, the higher your intelligence the less likely that idiot savant will trigger, at 10 intelligence it’s is lower than one percent, and if you max it out then it will be less effective at giving xp, it is more or less a gamble, or you have no life at all and just reload a save for it to trigger on everything (very much so not recommended, check out a video where some guy tries to play fallout 4 on that one island off the coast)

[@jess-hc4xg]

Not if you get it to last level

[@TR1CK]

idiot savant never goes below 1% proc chance. 10 INT + 1 Idiot Savant is on average more exp than 1 INT + 1 Idiot Savant, however 10 INT + 2 Idiot Savant is less average exp than 1 INT + 2 Idiot Savant (you need 14+ INT to match it). 3 Idiot Savant is good if you have high INT because the even though it adds a cool-down to the 5x bonus, the 3x bonus per kill is insane when your base exp is high
